What's with the Wade thug routine?

I don't remember him always being such a dirty player.

It's hard to forget the hard foul on Kobe during the All Star game

1. I don't remember him being that way before...

But he needs to be fined and suspended a good long time until he gets it...7 games didn't work for Ron Artest, but hopefully his season will end pretty soon.

2. I can't really tell what is going on w/ the first one

It is no doubt bad but I sense frustration over what he felt was a no-call(it was the correct call). I see hard fouls all the time after no-calls but in this case it was the correct call.

The second one isn't a big deal besides of the injury. The one on the bottom I see hundreds of times over the course of the season and see much worse in fouls in trying to prevent buckets. I don't believe there was any ill-intent there and Bryant stated that he believed so himself.

If all there is the first, I don't see anything particularly wrong him in an overall sense.

5. That Collison foul would get the bottom 98% of players a suspension.

6. I guess you missed the play right before

Where Wade was maulled and no foul was called. But that's OK. We just get to see one side of the story here.

Oh and if you lived in this area you would know that Wade is nothing but a grand gentleman. But that's OK this is the anti-Heat Board. Anything the team does is evil. Everyone else gets away with everything. The other 98% get away with the bad fouls, too!!

7. Unless you're on an actual Heat board, it's probably going to be an anti-Heat Board

They're not a likeable bunch. I'm guessing most Heat boards will also be anti-Heat by this time next week.

8. How does a non-call justify a cheap shot?

Does Wade think he's playing in a beer league? Ask Artest if everyone else gets away with everything.
