Title: the Dwyane Wade bias
Post by: D Dub on May 31, 2012, 07:52:43 PM
No calls

Not exactly ticky-tack contact here…
  
Regardless if Miami is better than Boston, it's blantantly obvious DWade gets away with a different brand of defense than anyone else.

I remember watching the first round of the 2010 Playoffs and Tommy said this "Wade is a great player but it amazing that he gets all of these calls" or something along that line. I think we all have to face that the Celtics, or anybody that plays against the Heat, will have to play above the officiating. Even if that means giving up a few baskets. It must be something to know that even when you have an off night you will get points at the line.

Don't forget the free throw parade when Miami topped Dallas in 2006. Wade deserved most of them, but some calls were crazy biased in his favor.

Anybody see Dwade's kick to the balls on Ramon Sessions?

No link yet, but it was pretty obvious.  Sessions had just taken a foul against him on a breakaway, then a few plays later Wade delivers a clean shot to the stones right in front of the ref.

Tech?  Flagrent??  Ejection???  Nope, just a normal foul when its Dwayne.   
ANYBODY else would get fined/suspended, but cuz its D-whistle I bet Stu Jackson looks the other way, again..

Someone needs to undercut Wade and put him on the deck real hard.  That kick to Sessions balls should have gotten at least a Fragrant 1.

LeBron and Wade both know that the NBA is a star's league and use that to get away with a ton of Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline..  I wonder when NBA players will get sick enough of Wade's act to risk fines and suspension and get some payback on him.

I dislike Wade more than LeBron. Never imagined I could dislike a player more than LeBron. A case of "one rotten apple can spoil the whole bunch" maybe..or maybe I never paid attention to his cheap shots before he teamed up with LeBron and RuPaul.

Honestly, I love D Wade the player. He's fearless, reckless, and just fun to watch when he wasn't playing with Lebron.

Is he a dirty player? Sure, but so are some of the greats.

Rondo's elbow sucked, and it was a dirty play, but I don't think he was trying to hurt rondo, at least in the manner he did. He's no Albert haynesworth. He does get calls, but just wait til he's 34 and his body has abandoned him. He earns his fouls in tendinitis, arthritis, and other ailments.

Wow, really?

You aren't intending to cause someone pain when you kick them square in the nuts?

Likewise Rondo's elbow.  What that replay tells me is that Wade felt himself falling and instinctively knew that if he fell it would give Boston an advantage, so he grabbed Rondo and pulled him down as well - in turn dislocating his elbow.

Then there was the game when I think it was Mike Miller set a hard screen on Rondo and knocked him to the floor...so then on the other end KG set a hard screen on Miller and knocked him to the floor.  So Wade retaliates by running from half way across the court and send a flying shoulder straight into KG when the ball was not even close to the play.

That's just a selection of dirty plays by Wade that had no play at all on the ball, and all of which could have caused injury or pain.

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Wade hit guys with intentional fouls with blatant disregard for whether or not they are hurt as a result. 

People love to call KG dirty, but I've never seen him attack somebody with an intent to cause injury.

Post by: Celtics4ever on December 27, 2012, 06:48:30 AM
I was a former vet who has bounced for ten years and I am pretty sure he was trying to hurt him.   I also saw him try to leg whip Pierce a few times that series.

Kobe is dirty too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_QDViW_2s8

He clearly hooked him and pulled him down.  He also tripped him.  His reaction afterwards speaks volumes to me, I don't recall remorse.  Up to this moment I actually liked Wade after this to me he is scum of the earth.

I used to like wade and used to find him fun to watch before the Heatles came together.  But ever since 2010, he hasn't been the same player.  Either I never noticed before, or he has recently become very much a punk evidenced by all the videos in this thread.  It's not so much the things he has pulled off (which are bad enough itself), but its that whenever another player maybe sets a hard screen on him, he reacts in complete disbelief that a player would pull such a cheap move on him.  And furthermore, he hasn't been as dominant of a player as he used to be.  I don't see what's to like about him anymore.

Was there ANY coverage of this incident? It seems like nobody covers Wade's clearly dirty plays, or mention them in passing. The dude is dirty, a cheap shot artist, and has made me like LeBron. The last thing was unthinkable 2 years ago...but LeBron doesn't try to hurt people. Wade does. The Rondo elbow play was awful, but I'd argue the play vs. Collison in the playoffs last year was even worse. And this one vs. Sessions...is just blatant and awful.

Double standard....IF  RONDO makes a dirty play like that ,   then the league suspends him for at least a game.

Somebody is in somebody's backpocket.  NBA refuses to make the Heat clean up their act.

I guess that anybody has mentioned it is an improvement...but that's hardly what I'd call major attention. That was a very obvious cheap shot by a guy who has a history of dirty play. If it was anyone else, it would be a huge story. Granted, the day is early, but it SHOULD be one of the top NBA stories.

Why should it?

The Lakers and Grizzlies both got beat, JR Smith hit two crazy shots to win against the Suns, the Pistons overcame a 20 point fourth quarter deficit to force two OTs against the Hawks, and Dwight Howard got ejected for a flagrant 2 foul.

All of those are bigger stories than a cheap shot that wasn't called in the Heat/Bobcats game.

Do none of you people read the Daily Dime?

"That was ... a pathetic cheap shot. In the middle of the third quarter Ramon Sessions fouled Dwayne Wade, and Wade proceeded to blatantly throw his leg towards Sessions' midsection. Both teams exchanged pleasantries, but no penalty was ever assessed on Wade. It would seem very possible that Wade hears from the league in some fashion about this."

Wade is a thug. Plain and simple. Gone are the days of the good D-Wade, and his true colors showed up when 3 years ago. A basketball thug of the highest order. I really hope someone will put him in his place. Just one. Biyombo should've.

If I'm Danny, I'd tell Jason COllins "I'll offer an extension for 1 more year just to knock him in the face if he does another scumbag move like he's been doing". We'll be fine if he's going to be suspended for a game or more, just give him the 'ol haymaker if he tries to hurt someone from our rosters.

If you ask me which hit I'd rather be at the receiving end of, I'd be equally angry at each.  Both were equally bad and neither were basketball plays.  Dwight's was actually more of a basketball play than Wade's.

Wade's classless act were never "basketball" plays.

The guy mocked a sick player in the Finals for crying out loud, not to mention everything that has been said already. I'd really pay someone who will deck him in the face, seriously. I'd give him a $50 and a box of Snickers.

Is this a trick question? I'd take geting slapped in the face by Dwight ten times out of ten, then even a flick to my sensitive male areas.

Whether it was acting or not, Faried looked much more affected by the hit than Sessions was.  Faried hit the ground, Sessions was barely fazed.  If you pose to me "would you rather be hit in the face or the nuts?" unknowing of how hard each hit was, I'd say the face.  But I am a man and judging by their reactions, I'd say I'm not sure.

But your reaction does speak to how you think Wade's hit should deserve at least equal (you clearly think worse) punishment to Dwight's which is the point that I was trying to make.

Personally im just so tired of Wade and his "good guy" schtick. He gets away with murder because he puts on this fake persona and big smile for the league and cameras. Real fans of the NBA know his true colors. He's just a marketing tool used by Stern to pander to the fair weather masses that root for whoever is the "it" team at the time.


Here's hoping to some bench guy or anyone for that matter, to finally put him in his place and send him a clear message. The league (teams) got fed up with "The Bad Boy's" antics in the 80's and look how Malone handled it. What people forget about that whole chapter is quite a few teams in the league conspired against Detroit. Everyone had had enough and the Pistons realized they had to cut it out or this is the type of thing they would be seeing night in and night out for 82 games. No wonder they came to such an abrupt end.

Post by: edwardjkasche on December 27, 2012, 01:26:40 PM
The absolute worst trait Wade has is that he is a COWARD.

He performs all these sneaky, devious, flagrant acts, but then he immediately acts as if he did nothing wrong.

Did you see him trying to explain to Sessions that his leg naturally flailed out into his crotch.  How the hell did he expect anyone to buy that crap? 

When he tackled Rondo he said he did nothing wrong and that's just how they fell, but everyone could clearly see Wade grabbed him and tackled him to the court.  Wade is such a baby that he couldn't admit it.

When he bull-rushed a defenseless Collison last year he was assessed only a Flagrant-1 (should have been a Flagrant-2, an ejection, and a 1-game suspension), and he had the gall to go up to the official and try to explain how it was a clean play and shouldn't have even been a Flagrant-1. 

If you're going to be a dirty player at least own it.

On top of all of that, he cries and whines more than most.  He stares down refs and other players.  He sits on the floor and pouts after what he thinks is a uncalled foul.  So, not only is he a COWARD, he's a HYPOCRITE. 

I cannot wait until he's out of this league.

I too used to like Wade until their Big 3 was created. It seems like once they joined up either he changed for the worse or everything began to show about his actions.

Wade is a dirty player and has been for a while. The thing that gets me is that he can (or thinks he can) play dirty and try to cheap shot other players but as soon as it comes back to him he wants to cry, whine, flop and act like he was just an innocent bystander who was attacked.
He is a punk and a coward who takes his anger out on other players because he's not playing like he used to or he's not getting the calls he thinks he should get.

I'm happy he was suspended (to me should have been 2 games) and I'm happy the NBA didn't ignore it this time.

Also Heat fans need to stop making excuses for his dirty plays  and act like he never does anything wrong thinking that everyone who disagrees are "haters". I'm a KG fan (will always be) and I will admit when he does a dirty play.

I'm not defending Wade here, Im defending cheap shots that aren't probable injury risks.

Maybe it's my own sports experience, but as players get more experienced, they learn some tricks of the trade to inflict minor nagging amounts of pain. Wade's leg kick should've been a flagrant, and deserves a 1 game suspension, but that's where it ends for me. It's not much different than a hard jab to the small o the back/kidneys, or a hard pinch and twist to the body, an elbow to the ribs.

I see Bruce Bowen's trademark leg kick under the legs as a far more egregious offense. Bruised pride and balls are a far lesser price to pay than a broken ankle, or high sprain.

Thats a fantastic point. Multiple game suspension in my mind, no brainer. Bynum got 5 for his clothesline on Barea, and I think the two incidences are very similar.
