No suspension for Wade

[naico]

.....didn't Horry get two games for his infamous hip-check? :rolleyes

Just an observation..

[LakerHater]

What did he do?

[Mugen]

Jason Smith got 2 games earlier this year when he did the same thing to Blake Griffin.

lol NBA double standard

[VBM]

Blame Collison for not acting like he got shot after the hit. Same thing as the Posey hip-check on Hinrich (1 game) and the Jason Smith hit on Griffin (2 games?)

[Mugen]

What did he do?

Didnt he shove the shit outta Rip too & nothing??

[timvp]

I don't think it was suspension-worthy but that foul would have been a flagrant 2 for about half the NBA. Maybe a suspension if someone with a past like Artest, Bowen, Bynum, etc. did that.

[Keepin' it real]

Why the hell would he get suspended for that??? This is the NBA, not the pussy league.

Posey got one game in the playoffs for this. Pretty similar. Won't use the Jason Smith example since that was a reg. season foul.

You're right and wrong. Sure, that play isn't as bad as punching someone. But when you've suspended two players for doing the exact same thing (James Posey/Jason Smith), what makes this situation different (other than the obvious "Wade's a superstar" argument)?

[LakerHater]

He shoulda sold it like Griffin did when he got hit the same way!

[Mugen]

:lol It's been a pussy league for a while.

Rondo gets a game for dry humping an official but Wade doesnt get anything for a blatant cheap shot where other players of lesser fame got a couple of games for the same thing.

I'm not familiar with those other two incidents, but if they were similar to Wade's, then they shouldn't have been suspended either.

[naico]

Tbh i don't think it deserves a suspension either, just like i think most of these fouls don't deserve one..I do see the league not being very consistent in these decisions.

In one a superstar got hit, and the other a superstar did the hitting.

[suitedkings]

it doesnt look as bad from that angle. based on some of the suspensions recently i could see an arguement for suspension.

If that was Splitter getting hit he might have needed DRob's chiroprachtor tbh..

[BlairForceDejuan]

NbA is rigged. We all know this.

No chance phaggot stern suspends Dwhistle with bosh out. We watch a business, not a sport.

pacers vs spurs finals. think of the ratings.

[Obstructed_View]

Kobe's flagrant wasn't even reviewed, and that one would have gotten at least a game for everyone else in the league.

[Obstructed_View]

pacers vs spurs finals. think of the butthurt.

Seriously, the only time anyone in the entire world worries about TV ratings is when the Spurs are in the playoffs.

[Keepin' it real]

After giving all three plays a quick look, I would only agree with suspending the Hornets player because 1) it seemed like the hardest hit, and 2) Blake was on the verge of going airborne for a layup, which might increase the likelihood of injury.

It's not logical that Wade isn't suspended at least 1 game while Posey and Smith got suspended for similar plays.

The league shouldn't be the one that handle suspensions and fines. The league main job is to make the NBA profitable which is hurt by the suspension of a star player. Fines and suspensions should be handled by a referee's committee with as little ties as possible with the league.

Should happen but never will.

[baseline bum]

That would have easily been an ejection at the least if it was Collision putting the hit on Wade.

[Budkin]

LOL did the ball hit Wade in the head??

[mkurts]

Wade's too important for the Heat and the TV ratings ... they'd never suspend him.

Even if Wade threw a few elbows like Artest did and hit someone like Harden, it would only ever be at most a Flagrant 1.

Welcome to the NBA, where the referees are mostly retarded, calls go the 'favorable' way or not at all, and superstar flopping is richly rewarded.

What the hell was Granger passing for? What a pussy, he should have been taking it strong to the hoop, not giving it up to someone nearly a foot shorter than he is who was obviously covered.

If the Pacers are to stand a chance in this series, he has to play like a man, not a scared little boy.

That was the right play, get it to Collison and Wade has to play Collison and he throws it back to Granger for an easy layup or dunk. Wade eliminated all that knocking Collison out of the play. Bush league, I expected better from Wade.

Double standards for superstars. Nothing new. Who goes to the game to watch James Posey or Jason Smith but they do go to watch Wade.

[Mal]

League cant suspend Wade and let Indiana take 2-1 lead in series. This would kill last overhyped team standing.

[BackHome]

If I was # 33 I would have kept running and ran the fuck over him for doing that to one of my players.

I can easily find logic in this. It`s not fair, but it is logic.

[Obstructed_View]

Jerrry Stackhouse got suspended in the finals for doing that to Shaq, didn't he?

See this is the crap that pisses me off...

Wade spends all game falling to the ground every time he has the ball and someone breathes on him. The stupid officials constantly bail him out.....then he turns around and throws a full body block like this and doesnt even hit the ground. This should be even more validation of all his flopping.

This is the same thing that bothers me about Chris Paul.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't see anything suspension worthy there.

[Obstructed_View]

I don't see anything suspension worthy there.

Not the point unless you can explain how that foul is different from the three similar fouls discussed that were deemed suspension-worthy.
