Different rules for different players... it's disgusting. Hell, the commentator actually said "... and I think it's deserved," like there was even a question if that the foul was a flagrant 1, let alone a flagrant 2. Artest pulls this s***, and he would have been suspended for 2+ games. Wade does this, and people argue if it even warrants a flagrant 2.
Jason Smith got a flagrant 2 and two game suspension for this hit. Wade gets a flagrant 1 for the exact same move. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YCgbek1qKFc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Wade has done some questionable things, but I don't have a problem with these two. The first, while definitely a foul, didn't really seem to be a conscious attempt to injure Rondo. It was just an unfortunate way for Rondo to fall. The second was him standing up for a teammate against Garnett, who's not exactly the classiest player himself.
EVERYONE ON CLUTCHFANS: Good god. I hate this p***y ass league. Nobody fouls hard anymore. Nobody throws punches or shoves people anymore. All these players are little girls. I wish it were the 80's again. *Wade does exactly what people want..* OMG! What a thug! What a douche! What a dirty player! How could he do that!
Uh... those tough guys in the past didn't hit people on the one end and then act like being shot at whenever someone breathed on them on the other end. So no, Wade doesn't do exactly what people want. He's called FAKE TOUGH GUY.
Driving an elbow into another player's back. But you're right, superstars are saints. How dare people condemn a dirty play from a SUPERSTAR???!!!?????
NBA once again shows it's rigged. DWade doesn't get even 1 measly game suspension for this? Bull. Complete bull. Anyone else gets at least 2 games.
Wade is a douche Wade is overrated Wade is arrogant Wade is immature The hate LeBron takes, should be directed at Wade.
Even though the fix is in, the Heat can't win it all if they only have two guys scoring in the fourth over 15 games. Wouldn't surprise me if Wade gets injured next.
first of all, i was calling you a douche. secondly i'm guessing now that you were calling wade a p***y and not saying that the fouls weren't hard--your qoute "p***y fouls", obviously meant something better worded such as "b**** ass move"...misinterpretation on my end.. but i don't need to learn anything from "the streets". if you'd like though, i could teach you plenty on the court.
No he isn't a thug. Everything he has done are b**** moves usually cause he is throwing a temper trantrum about a foul that wasn't called. Nothing thug or tough about putting an elbow in someone's back and trying to hurt them cause you didn't get your superstar foul call.
Points taken. By your response I thought you were with RedRedemption in that crowd. I prefer tough basketball myself, hard fouls without wrong intentions take the competitiveness up a notch, that's why I hate the whiny types that want the minimum excuse to bail themselves out with a call but also those who take out their frustrations on others.
