Stats after a few weeks are nowhere close to a trend. You know, this, Loki..
Yeah, I know, but I was just contributing. Also, Kobe is definitely more aggressive this year in terms of going to the basket, so it may hold up, though perhaps not to the same extent as currently.
Video1: Terry pushes off with left elbow, Wade is too strong to be affected too much so he hits the jumper. But then he realized that the ref hit the foul so he flopped to get the and-1 : THIS IS HARD WORK PEOPLE.
Video2: Mavs player doesnt establish position and FLOPPED. Ref didnt buy the flop.
Video3: NO FOUL, Mavs player appeared to swipe air at last second.
Video4: Foul on Marquis Daniels. Pushed on left side. Wade could have possibly flopped but Wade had position so you call it against Daniels: THIS IS HARD WORK PEOPLE
Video5: Nowitzki didnt have his feet set. FOUL.
Thats all you people have?!
ITS OVER.
So because Dirk didn't have his feet set it's a foul when he gets an elbow throw into him?
Im pro-wade on this whole FT fiasco cuz its not his fault but lets add fuel to the fire, this is a video of wade catching the ball in the frontcourt and then landing in the backcourt..no violation called

okay, so you will say that wade caught the ball in the air and landed cleanly in the backcourt BUT heres what the rules say:
Rule 8, Section 1- "For location of a player in the air, his position is that from which he last touched the floor."
LMAO, NOOOOOOOOO WAY MY MAN.
Not that back-court violation shiat again...I had a HEATED debate on here with that...
League Officials CONFIRMED that there was no violation.

NBA: No Backcourt Violation By Wade
(AP) MIAMI The NBA said Tuesday that there was no backcourt violation on the play that led to Dwyane Wade's winning free throws in Game 5 of the NBA finals.
After the Miami Heat's 101-100 overtime victory over Dallas on Sunday night, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said an assistant coach showed him a tape that led his team to believe that Wade should have been called for a turnover when he caught an inbounds pass to begin the possession.
"My understanding from the rule book is, if you are going to catch the ball in the backcourt, you have to be in the backcourt to catch it," Cuban said.
Not true, according to Rule 4, Section VI, which deals with frontcourt/backcourt.
Replays showed that Wade leaped near midcourt to catch the ball in the air, landing with possession in the backcourt.
Part of the rule states that, "frontcourt/backcourt status is not attained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in either half during a throw-in in the last 2 minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period."
Because Wade was in the air when he caught the ball, league spokesman Tim Frank said his position wasn't determined until he landed. And since another rule allows for the ball to be thrown into the backcourt at that time, there was no violation.
"I knew I was straight," Wade said Tuesday morning after shootaround. "I know the rules. I knew it wasn't a backcourt."
Cuban was fined $250,000 by the league on Tuesday for his actions after the game.
Sure, Wade gets some calls he doesn't deserve. But which All-Star wing-player in the league doesn't?
I don't like watching a player get 20 trips to the line a game either, but if youre gonna biitch about it.. please.. be consistent! It just pisses me off beyond belief when Kobe fans are the ones *****ing about Wade getting too many calls. Kobe gets more "breathe on me and I'm going to the line" fouls than anyone in the league! If you're going to whine about Wade, at least be consistent and note that ALOT of star players in the league gets the calls that Wade gets. Don't single out Wade just because he ruined your summer by leading Miami to a title.
Also, Kobe is definitely more aggressive this year in terms of going to the basket, so it may hold up, though perhaps not to the same extent as currently.
