Love that the commentators say it looked inadvertent and there wasn't anything malicious about it! He jumped up and elbowed him in the head for no reason!

Are you kidding?? D Wade suspended. Wade will have thier heads

You're trying too hard to make it sound like there's an anti-Knicks conspiracy. Even Pacer homer Reggie Miller called that an accidental elbow. It's going to have to be unambiguously malicious for the player to get suspended.

It's nothing to do with the Knicks- its about selectively implementing the rules, depending on the player. that is clearly an intentional elbow, I genuinely don't understand how anyone could dispute that.

Again, even Reggie disagrees with you. If I were trying to elbow someone, I wouldn't try to jump up above or around them. I've never seen someone intentionally elbow a player by jumping above them. The legs don't assist in elbowing someone. It wouldn't make sense.

I never seen someone try to jump over someone like that and not use a swim move to do it. That play and his movement struck me as strange. Usually, you don't see a player jump that high to get around a player who is not on the ground or see a player keep his forearm locked. Should he get suspended, IDK or care. Wade didn't get suspended last year when he pushed Collinson in the back. Wade does a lot of stuff other players would get suspended or ejected for. imo.

I don't see any malicious intent. A foul call is the most you can give and even that isn't a given.

I'm assuming malicious intent because it's Wade and he's dirty as **** but I don't think it warrants anymore than a personal foul.

If wade couldnt get suspended for that then theres no way. The only way I can see him getting suspended is if Lance somehow got a concussion from the hit and then ESPN talks about it and calls attention to the play. That would kind of force Stern's hand.

That is clearly NOT an intentional elbow.

he left his feet and led with his elbow to get around stephenson. that was a premeditated move, and if it followed a no-call for him then it is even more damning since he is a notorious crybaby.

IMO, that was intentional by Wade but not an intentional foul. More of a Kevin Garnett dirty little foul which he makes believe was an accident. Wade sized up Stephenson and knew what he was doing with the elbow to the head, but was looking downcourt to make it seem like it was accidental.

You know what it's guite funny how before anyone wrote a thing on this thread I knew what side the favor for or against would fall.
Look Wade is a pro and the way of getting away with that kind of foul is like flopping of a foul. You just pretend that you dont see him. And D Wade is good at it. As a matter of fact the Heat instead of being in South Beach they need to go to Hollywood because they are the best actors in the league. The Pacers can forget it they are done LeBron and the Heat has turned Paul George into Boy George.
