Wade Per Steven A. Smith

[RawdogDX]

It's okay Bulls fan, there's always next year. Now be a good little hater and watch the NBA Finals featuring "the biggest duo of cry baby floppers" and their quest for another championship.

How long has it been since the bucks won a play off series again? 

[Pakuni]

All of this talk about Wade's dirty play. Please, describe which plays in the 2013 Playoffs have been dirty. I haven't seen it.

Well, there was the flying forearm shiver to Lance Stephenson's head.

[willie warrior]

Yeah, because everyone who has ever called wade dirty, pointed out how much he wines, or made fun of his dress floods is a bulls fan....

Simply not true, get over it, we have. You are the only ones i ever hear talk about how people are still mad that he didn't come to chicago.  It is part of wisconsin's inferiority complex.  You are trying to vilify us and grasping at complete bs over some blog post you read 3 years ago.

Yeah, Wisconsin sure has an inferiority complex, especially when all those IP's make their weekend/vacation exits to Wisconsin.

[willie warrior]

This is indeed the surprising aspect of the whole thing. Did Willie really need Stephen A. smith to tell him that Wade's play has declined because his knees are shot? I barely follow the NBA and I knew that.

That is not what Smith said. But according to some Smith is an idiot and racist.

[LAZER]

Got it. I don't use teal either.

As for Wade, I cannot understand why our tribe finds it necessary to demonize this guy. In the grand scheme of things the guy is a professional athlete. He isn't trying to become the Archbishop of Canterbury.

One of the most vicious rebounders I have ever watched was Jerome Whitehead. Nothing Wade has done compares with Whitehead throwing elbows.

No one here is arguing Wade in the grand scheme of things, everyone here is arguing in the context of sports and more specifically the NBA.  Also,  what's with all the desperately forced high brow remarks?

[willie warrior]

Well, there was the flying forearm shiver to Lance Stephenson's head.

yup, looks like a forarm shiver that happened very quickly while Wade was taking a skip hop to avoid running into an illegal moving screen. Intentional? Maybe.

I'm from MKE and let me assure you there is only 1 reason why the Bucks exist. That reason is the same as why you (who I'm assuming don't like the Bucks) should want them to be at least marginally successful.

The Bucks one and only* purpose on this world is to get the Warriors a new stadium. Period. End of story. Who cares if they win, lose, or forfeit, so long as they do so on the road to getting Milwaukee's real basketball team a new stadium.

Note: To Herb Kohl they are also used for tax purposes.

and people complain about Wade flopping...

Yeah, getting nailed in the side of the head by a leaping 230-pound man should never cause one to fall.
But I can't imagine why people would suggest Wade flops.

[RawdogDX]

I don't know what IP means but i'm going to assume you mean people from the chicago land area.  I don't see how that relates to your inferiority complex at all.  Growing up in chicago i never heard anything said worse than calling you 'cheeseheads'(cause your football team wears yellow helmets and you love cheese).  The amount of vitriol i experienced towards people from my state when i got to marquette was shocking.

[onepost]

Let me just say this...

It probably surprises no one here that you are a fan of Stephen A. Smith.

An art form demonstrated masterfully by Will Sheehey against Minnesota this past season. Who can forget CTC instructing his charges to "watch for the elbows" during the time out immediately before Sheehey's award winning performance? Sir Lawrence Olivier must have been proud.

Bringing up First Take is like posting URL links from BR...

And for what feels like the millionth time, Wade is the worst (or best, depending on your perspective) at it.
If you don't notice it, that's because you are not paying enough attention ... or, more likely, can't see it or don't want to see it through your blue-and-gold tinted glasses.

Wade isn't even close to the worst in the NBA. I am surprised that you actually believe that, and I am stunned that you are suggesting that all those who don't "aren't paying attention".

[MUSF]

I honestly don't know any Bulls fans who actually believed that Wade was going to sign with the team when he was a FA, nor do I know any Bulls fans who are "butthurt" because he chose to stay in Miami. That notion is largely created by Illinois-hating Wisconsinites.

Found some. Unless of course these posts were all from Illinois-hating Wisconsinites.

First Take is the worst program ESPN has to offer. I'd much rather watch college softball then listen to two idiots in Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless talk about sports.

Honestly, being a sports analyst has to be the easiest job one can ask for. Smith is an absolute idiot.

This is NOT coaching; this is Stuntmen 101.

Did you get constipated trying to force this to fit your bill.  Not one comment in those threads has any butthurt bulls fans.  And yes Bulls fans wanted any of the big three.. who wouldn't have.

Have you actually watched the video of Wade/Stephenson?  And I mean really watched it?  It's a glancing blow at best.  There's no force behind it because Wade isn't trying to hit him. 

If a 230 pound man put any kind of effort into that kind of blow, the blowee would probably go down and his reaction would be appropriate. 

Let's face it.  In this particular example Stephenson caused the contact by running in front of Wade while he's attempting to get down court.  Wade tries to get around him.  That's it.

It figures you feel that way. Speaking of the cheeseheads, they are kicking your team's ass regularly these days. For you it can be graciously said, that IP+Illinois people who you hear regularly referred to as FIPs. Use your own imagination. If Wisconsin sucks so much, why do so many IP's vacation there. And then in deer season, it is like the million man march to Wisconsin.

If it is so easy, why are you not on ESPN at 200k per?

He didn't say it was easy to get...he said it was an easy job.

Within the media, Smith's nickname is "Screamin' A. Smith."

He has very little credibility.

It doesn't take a Ph.D. to know that Wade is hurting. Lots of wear and tear on that body from hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of hard falls to the court over the past decade.

Seriously?

The original poster said he "honestly doesn't know any Bulls fans that believed Wade would sign with the team." One of those threads is TITLED "Dwyane Wade will be a Chicago Bull in 2010".

I really had to try hard to force that one to fit didn't I?
