Should Wade get suspended?

Kdb you are definitely a homer if you're defending wade in this. He jumped - completely unnecessarily I might add - AT another player with his elbow raised and made contact with his head. He is simply lucky that he did not make more solid contact.

Statsheet, you are correct, Rondo toughed it out to play the next two games basically one-armed, but had minimal impact compared to what he normally would have. Most players would have just shut it down the instant it happened, but Rondo is a tough little SOB.

If he was trying to avoid contact, why did he raise his elbow and try to run and jump straight through LS?

Wade has history. He ended Rondo's season a couple of years back dislocating his elbow with completely unnecessary aggression.

Here's a good link to over 4 mins worth of Wade's dirty play just in the last two years:

Yeah, I thought the TV crew were being pretty generous in their assessment as well. If it was someone else, I *might* give them the benefit of the doubt, but this is Wade we're talking about. The guy has a history of this sort of crap. Doesn't matter that the contact wasn't heavy, the intent to injure was clearly there and he should get a game for it.

Interesting contrast: on the one hand we have the best player on the floor, Lebron, respecting Paul George for a great play. On the other, we have Wade once again acting like a punk.

If he had been suspended, they would have done it by now right?

Lol at TNT crew saying it was inadvertent.

Don't know how it was inadvertent..happened some distance from the ball. Why is he even jumping in the air and raising his elbows mid court?

cheap shot, not necessary at all. contact was seemingly minor, but still a dirty shot!
