Dwyane Wade's foul on Isaiah Thomas

[incoherent]

The NBA had to start fining players because for flopping thanks to the Miami Cheat and their ridiculous strategy of flopping their way to the NBA Finals.

Flopping was so obviously on display the announcers, the experts, the writers, were all talking about it so much because the Cheat were doing it so blatantly before the fining rule came into effect in the offseason.

You can be 100% certain Wade was leading the pack with the flopping. A quick youtube search will show you the most blatant flopping I've ever seen from the Cheat and you can be 100% certain it helped them get their ring.

I dont remeber KG/Ray Allen/ Rondo..  EVER flopping, and Pierce only did that head bob flop thing but never fell over on purpose or dragged someone down on top him.

Wade won his first ring thanks to the refs and flopping. And Im pretty sure without flopping and being dirty he doesnt get at least 1 of his next 2 rings.

I hate Wade, I hate his attitude, I don't like his game at all, its 100% reliant on jumping into other players while driving to the basket. That and A LOT of crying to refs.

Wade easily.. EASILY is the biggest cry baby to refs I've EVER seen.  The guy is a disgrace. I hope he gets injured and is forced to retire early.

Pierce and Rondo are two guys that can give Wade a run for his flopping money. Just saying.

No way .. are you kidding me? Pierce in his prime didnt flop. All he did was bob his head when he was hit to  make it visible to the refs. He always tried to finish the play. Sure, there are outliers.

Wade/Lebrons first 2 trips to the finals, Flopping was the MAIN strategy, and they flopped almost every time there was contact.


When the Celtics made their run in 08 I dont remember ANYONE talking about flopping, or flopping changing the game.

The Cheat changed the game with their over abundant amount of flopping.

Yep, he "didn't flop", he just exaggerated contact. Perhaps you need to double-check the definition of flopping in the NBA rulebook?

And Rondo is notorious for falling down at the slightest touch. He's also been warned by the league for flopping. In case you have forgotten, Youtube is your friend.

Dwyane Wade is, pound for pound, the most dangerous player in the NBA.

I don't think there's another player who cares less whether he injures someone. You see a lot of dirty plays in the NBA where afterwards a dude gets sent to the bench or the showers to cool off and, fortunately, no one gets hurt. That happened with Whiteside in the 3rd. It happened in the Magic game with Smart.

With Wade, the record is long, people have gotten hurt, and he's only been suspended once.

Is there a history of Wade being a dirty player?

I was a bit surprised that Wade didn't help Thomas up off the floor - he just kind of looked down at him, what do you folks think?

We think that was a taunting tech right there.

And as for the other stuff.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJmyMfpbsMY

thats an eye opening low-light reel

Umm.. trying to compare Pierce head bob to Wade consistently flailing on the ground is a joke and pretty disrespectful.

Hello? Did you watch Rondo for the past 8 years? Yeah, maybe he flopped once or twice. but what you are describing is no where near true.  Wade is on a whole other level my friend.

I dont understand are you trying to say Pierce and Wade flop the same amount?

Since you seem to have forgotten what a "Pierce head bob" looks like, let me remind you here:

I'm trying to say that defending Pierce's flopping as "all he did was bob his head when he was hit to make it visible to the refs" is absurd. That's a dictionary definition of a flop -- exaggerating contact in order to draw a foul.

Wade drives Thomas into the floor and pretends it's an accident.

Wade is the master of that.

I hate Wade, and I think he's a dirty player, but I just rewatched the foul, and it was a hard foul, not a flagrant.

They went body to body, but Wade was higher up than Thomas, his hip made contact with Thomas's upper body causing him to fall backwards, making so he could get his legs under neath him, which is why he fell on hi back. Wades arms came down, but didn't much or any contact.

It was a hard foul, but I dont think he went out to take him out.  He did stand over him like a punk though, he could have shown some concern about an other human being falling like that.

So Wade isn't guilty of a flagrant foul, but is guilty for being an @$$ hat.

I think wade thought of helping him up but saw he was really hurt and decided not to touch him.

he's a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. though.

The part that sold me that it was a punk move was he didn't even budge to make it look like he cared that IT got busted up on that play.

I believe in God, so it is hard for me not to wish that Wade would get injured.
He is the dirtiest player in the league. Lebron is number two.

Plenty of genocides in the Old Testament. It is usually god-believers who wish ill on people.

Lebron is far from one of the more dirty players. Wade is very dirty.
