Wade up to his same old Bush League tactics

[prov1ml34]

Enter Lou Amundson...who, not even sure if I got the spelling correct.  6'9" and mobile enough, let wade get the ball, let his man give him a wide open lane drive, everyone else cover their man so he isn't passing it off, good hard foul, pacers team quickly goes to lou with congrats on good defense (walking over wade at this point), be ready for technical, team fine, coach fine

can't see bird sitting idle on this one, wasn't he the one who called out the celtics and "made" McHale clothesline poor rambis (who was a good guy, even in yellow and purple)

How about Fresenko? Is he still with the team/ activated?

He is the perfect goonguy for this. Wade will know what it feels like then.

Either one, I would gladly contribute to the bounty fund.

NBA is not upgrading or further punishing Wade per Windhorst.

Wade will continue to headhunt unabated.

It's times like this I ask myself why I bother watching this sport. If this isn't an in your face double standard, then I don't know what is.

I hear you. There is a ridiculous double standard that completely cheapens the product, IMHO.

[thestackshow]

Wade will get whats coming to him.

Celtics playoff suspensions/ejections

Perk-second tech ejected from Orlando series

KG elbow during scrum

Rondo bumping a ref.

The only one that comes close is KG's elbow.
Stern protects Davis but wont protect Collison just sad.

I would love to hear Sterns interview on this. After the Rondo bump he made it sound clear cut. How was this Collison play clear cut

[GreenFaith1819]

Just outrageous that Dwyane Wade got off...

It's times like this where I start to believe folks here that say that there is a favorites list and conspiracies rampant in the NBA.

I can see this with my OWN EYES....just wow.

Just outrageous.

Boy back in the day someone like Wade would have Charles Oakley, Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman or Bill Laimbeer waiting out back for him.

I've NEVER seen anyone get off for doing what Dwyane Wade did last night.

This message states that "I can do what I want in the NBA and not get penalized for it."

Or...David Stern didn't want to place MIA in TOO dire of straits with Bosh being hurt by suspending him a game.

I haven't found one story calling for a suspension on this yet.

To me the real story is how the media barely covered this. Thats the real conspiracy. It's pretty clear he should have received some sort of punishment, but the NBA we know now plays favorites and we all know miami falls under that catergory. Pretty sad that there's a set of standards for miami and some of the big name guys that is different than the rest of the league. Stern at his finest.

I here Sean Payton is out of work. Maybe the Pacers can hire him as a consultant and have him coach up Louis Amundson and Jeff Pendergraph.

TP for excessive use of genius mixed with a significant dose of common sense

[Eja117]

Its now in the hands of Indiana.

The crowd needs to do their part and jeer like crazy.

If any of these Indiana players have the tough stones, they should give Wade a message. Nothing crazy flagrant, just consistent physicality.

I am so disgusted with Wade and the NBA's consistent protection of him.

I totally agree with you, but with the new rules I bet they'll foul out

[Eja117]

I've said for years this is why I advocate the intentional injuring of stars. Haha, that sounds so crazy just reading it out loud but unfortunately there really is no other recourse. If a superstar (or Ron Artest in some cases) is allowed to intentionally hurt the other players on the court, with either no, or minimal punishment, as well as zero acknowledgement by the NBA, what choice do the other players have? Take out Wade to send a message and maybe Stern will finally man up and realize his fans are onto what he's been doing.

To be honest. An eye for an eye. Send out a goon to give him a good hard blind side shove to the ground. Nothing crazy. But take action.

Sometimes I feel sorry for the goon that gets fined like 100K and loses like 5 game checks. But it still has to be done

[Eja117]

Wade will get whats coming to him.

Karma and I have never been friends. Takes to long and requires too much faith.  I mean, sure I believe in good old fashioned Catholic Hell, but that's different. I need blood now. D Wade needs to have some fear in him, and this is going to continue until someone stops it. I elect Tyler Hansbrough.

I just emailed the league. The fans need to start doing something to change this because we know that fraud of a commish wont.

Of course it wasn't called a Flagrant 2 foul, although it should have been and he should be suspended for Game 3.

Jason Smith got two games for this:

I don't see how the two plays are all that distinguishable.  The league will find a reason, though.

Easy:

One was Darren Collison hit by Dwayne Wade.

One was Blake Griffin hit by Jason Smith.

this.

This is true considering you couldn't change the channel without some talking head discussing the Rondo ref bump situation....Ridiculous

I saw his remarks about this too. Pretty ironic coming from one of the Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.s morons that was on the stage celebrating nothing before last season even started
