Clippers' coach Mike Dunleavy has called out Heat guard Dwyane Wade for constantly getting away with palming the ball, which gives him an unfair advantage over his opponents, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting.

"His ability to carry the ball right now, he's getting away with that," Dunleavy said. "He (carries) left to right, right to left, but he just does it fast so nobody sees it, I guess."

"Sometimes you get called for it, sometimes you don't," Wade said. "Everybody palms the ball every once in a while."

Considering the Clippers escaped with a controversial victory Saturday over the Heat, Wade was surprised Dunleavy would take issue with his play.

"There's a lot of things going on that could be called," Wade said. "So if you want to nitpick at everything, then he doesn't have enough to do. He needs to do something else."

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he appreciates the perceptions.

"That's a tough call. That's why the league has such an emphasis on that," he said. "It's almost like a charge-block. Every single possession you could ask 10 people to judge whether that's a carry or not, and you'd probably have five people say 'yes,' five people say 'no.' "
