Should Wade get suspended

As has been stated if Jr Smith and Metta got suspended for their elbows, so should Wade.

Cheap shot.

The fact that he tried to avoid the contact by jumping to the side of Stephenson? Looking at it in real time.. maaaaybe. Looking at the slow motion replays, absolutely not.

What? Take a look at those incidents and compare it to this one, they´re nothing alike.

This would even be an ejection and suspension in the NFL.

Seriously, why did it happen again? What has the poor guy done to the Heat? He has taken two flying elbows in the head / neck area in two consecutive years. He's either unlucky as hell or heavily disliked.

In any case, I have to give prop to Lance for getting up and continuing to play. He didn't try to fake injury even though the play could have caused injury to him. Lance, you have my respect for that.

Regarding Wade now. He probably deserves to be suspended but I don't think that it will happen. I'll be happy if he receives a fine or if it's upgraded into a flagrant foul (seriously, can you upgrade a play that wasn't called a foul to a flagrant afte the game?). I mean, recognize that the play happened at least. It wasn't in the highlights of the game and that saddened me a bit.

He kicked his girlfriend down a flight of stairs. He deserves whatever comes to him. No love lost for that dude.

They didn't suspend him for THAT either... Thanks NBA for supporting a clean league

I'm not going to defend this act, of course, but I doubt that Wade and Pittman clocked him for that reason.

Wow, he should definitely be suspended for that.

Definite suspension in my eyes. Just an odd play really. I've watched it probably 10 times and I still can't figure out what he's doing.

And how are Reggie and Steve saying that's inadvertent? The angle behind shows he clearly jumps and extends the elbow to the head. Really low act.

Another dirty play by Wade. Can´t say I am surprised. Imagine JR Smith doing that...He would get suspended for 3 games at least.

The thing about Wade is he's a good actor. He'll defuse the whole situation as if he had no idea what he did and try to play it off like he was just playing basketball. Doesn't ever fool me

You're embarrassing yourself. Just stop. :roll:

You either have serious homer glasses on, or you are an idiot. Actually I will agree on something, JR Smith's elbow didn't look as malicious as this one. Wade actually jumped up, for no reason to hit Lance. There was absolutely no reason for him to jump at that very momenth, no one was throwing him the ball, he wasn't passing it.. he just jumped and elbowed him in the head.

Wade's like the kid on the schoolyard that hits someone when the teachers aren't looking then runs near the teacher so he can't get retaliated on. He's also the same kid that will snitch on you if you barely touch him whether it was intentional or not.

In summary, Wade is (please use more appropriate word) made.

bryanoid · Post #156 » by **bryanoid** » Sat May 25, 2013 8:13 am

This is clearly intentional by the way. He wasn't even going at full speed. There should be no reason to lose control if he did

john248 · Post #157 » by **john248** » Sat May 25, 2013 8:17 am

There isn't much of a reason for Wade to jump and extend his forearm. He should get fined. I don't think he should be suspended.

idk if its been pointed out in all these pages but Lance feet are still on the ground when contact happened.
