Should Wade get suspended

[Nuntius]

I am sure Pacers fans were missing the Davis Brothers after that happened. Hell Jeff Foster would have sufficed. Didn't Hansbrough get the memo? He should be sticking up for their little guys, West/Hibbert cannot afford to do it.

As a Pacer fans I have been quite glad that we haven't responded with dirty plays to them. West had a dirty play last night but other than that we'll take their cheap shots and just continue playing our physical brand of basketball.

[Nuntius]

The Pacers should have turned that into a big thing on the court. As it is now, Wade will get nothing because no one seemed to notice.

We have no reason to screw ourselves over.

Tyler actually has been too productive so far to get involved. It needs to be an end of the bench guy. We need John Chaney as an assistant in the NBA because he would've caught that.

If the NBA wants to help the Pacers out they'll just leave him be.

I say fine him, and have psycho T return the favor to his occipital bone.

Dont think you want Haslem going after Psycho T again. Don't remember last year after Pyso T hit Wade, and Haslem clobbered him the VERY NEXT play?

Pretty sure if Psycho T or w/e goon they have on INDY broke Wade's occipital bone the refs wouldn't let it get that far.

But its pointless, hurting Wade would only hurt the Pacers long term as he really isn't a factor anymore. If they want to retaliate, knock Bosh back into the Jurassic with blind side elbow. With someone like Pendengraph of course.

If no penalty is given to Wade and the game is won towards the end for the Pacers, I would implore them to commit a borderline flag. 2 on Wade. Draw some blood. Let him know next time he does it his season will end.

One thing has to be said though, Lance was motioning towards Wade, I think he was looking for trouble, that still doesn't excuse a blow to his temple, not a basketball play at all.

I love having Wade on the Heat team. That's called playoff basketball. Reggie Miller couldn't say much because he did stuff like that too when he played.

No. A hard foul to avoid an easy lay-up (making sure that the opposing player isn't risking injury, of course) is playoff basketball.

An elbow to the temple and nut shots are not playoff basketball.

was he hurt? did it change the outcome of the game?

yeah, after watching for years, that IS playoff basetball

So, I guess that if LeBron and Wade get elbowed in the head that's playoff basketball again, right?

I don't think we're in the same page.

lol this guy.

If something like that happens, the Heat won't leave the court WITHOUT drawing blood next game.

And lol at breaking Wade's bones.

Lance had just completed a no-look pass on a break and was heading towards the bottom end of the court.

[Bluewhale]

Suspended? The refs didn't even blow the whistle. It was a clean play. Lance Stephenson needs to pay attention to his surroundings

An elbow to the head is a clean play?

It is a clean play by Wade's standard. Like Wade broken Rondo's arm was also a clean play, it is NBA official call.

Remember, Wade has the Licence to Kill, period.

We're not. But Miami continues to be on a different page because Stu Jackson and David Stern allow them to be. They don't get fined for flopping. They don't get even a foul call for an elbow to the temple which easily could've been avoided. They're playing under different rules. Get Pendergraph in there to make Wade feel his mistakes.

And Haslem will get in there and clobber Pendergraph just as hard or even harder.

Different set of rules my ass.

That wouldn't favor us at all.

You're right, Wade just injures himself at random points in games, no need decimate him even if he deserves to hurt a whole lot more.

Plz, LBJ isn't going to retaliate, who else on the Heat is to be feared physically? Haslem and?

Break Haslem before he breaks you.

Miami do have a different set of rules. Battier flops like crazy. Almost every play he finds a way to hit the floor yet he doesn't get fined. Wade & LeBron are also regular floppers and nothing is said. If lesser known players flopped the way LeBron does they'd be warned/fined. Guaranteed.

[Kobeshow]

Looked at wades wikipedia for basic info. Didnt realize hes almost 32. 2 years from kobes age. Makes me lol of the better than kobe arguments so prevalent when he won his first ring and the immediate years after. In hindsight, he is sooverrated and a poor sport dirty player.

Wade is 31, Kobe will be 35 in August, that's a 4 year difference; Wade 1982, Kobe 1978

Now you understand why Kobe is a legend and Wade is an overrated player... Kobe still dominates at nearly 35, Wade at 31 needs to retire....

[BeanTownRockets]

Dexter Pittman's dumba$s punch last year was a cheap shot - The Heat dumped him after that, and I don't know if he is even playing ball anymore.
If the sports dudes on tv aren't talking about it, then I doubt anything will happen. Both were running to get into their positions, neither one was going to defer to the other and contact occurred. The refs either did not see what happened or decided to let play-off basketball go on.

Oh please. Wade had plenty of time to react. He could have easily changed direction in a dime. But no, the fool took the opportunity to get a cheap shot in. Its not a secret that Wade is borderline dirty player.

If the sports dudes on tv aren't talking about it, then I doubt anything will happen.

The the "sports dudes" were just being politically correct. Do you actually think that Reggie Miller is gonna flat say " THAT WAS A DIRTY PLAY, HE DESERVES A SUSPENSION"??? Common.

[chefy]

Lmao on people saying unintentional what kind of mofo move is that? Lmao. That's a flying kick/elbow!

Its a non-basketball move that potentially could have resulted in injury and/or changed the outcome of the game. Waiting until someone gets a concussion to do something about it is just begging for trouble.

Whether or not stuff like this happens in the playoffs isn't particularly relevant either imo. I'm not a fan of this happening now or in the past. I am a fan of of physical basketball, but only in relation to the game. What Wade did had nothing to do with basketball at all, its not like he needed position or was going for the ball. He just decided to throw in a cheap shot, its not cool.

[barborous]

Lmao are people actually trying to say this was unintentional?
