Wade has one of the biggest cheap shots of the season in this series.
Also lebron throws those sneaky elbows...which is what started the initial altercation with Granger.

So when has Wade whined about taking a cheap shot? You also mentioned Lebron as being able to dish out but not take, how about a valid example for him too? You aren't giving examples of them not sing able to take what they dish out, you're just justifying Granger runnin up people's face knowing he's not going to do anything. Lebron 40/18/9 Wade 30/6/9 It's not his act helped his team.
Wade whines for about 48 minutes a game
Ok so you're just cosigninh Granger because you don't like Wade or Lebron. I get that. I wasn't looking at it from a petty point of view, I was just looking at it as Granger's stunt probably helped wake Wade up and did nothing to throw Lebron off of his game. If you're a Pacer supporter, you'd probably rather see him trying to focus on his own game. That's why I can't cosign Granger.

300 = Lebron pts/reb OVER 36.5
200 = Pacers win
100 = score over 180.5
50 = Dwayne Wade pts/reb OVER 29.5
(no faith in him)
50 = Hibbert points UNDER 13
300 = Lebron pts/reb OVER 36.5
200 = Pacers win
100 = score over 180.5
50 = Dwayne Wade pts/reb OVER 29.5
(no faith in him)50 = Hibbert points UNDER 13
I was cosigning him either...but I have to say it was refreshing to see when were used to the ass kissing lebron and wade seemingly get from everyone on the court. They arent used to someone telling them to shut up

MIAMI -- Miami Heat stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have grown tired of what they think are bating tactics from the Indiana Pacers' Danny Granger. James went so far as to call it "stupid."
Granger has gotten called for technical fouls in each of the past three games for getting into both James' and Wade's faces after fouls. Granger said he doesn't intend to back down but several times he has appeared to be the one to instigate the confrontation.
"Whatever he's trying, it is not working," James said Tuesday before Game 5. "He's said he's not scared of LeBron, I want to let (James) know. I guess he's doing it for his own psyche. It's stupid."
Granger went to chest to chest with James in both Games 2 and 3, once after a play in the post and once after he fouled James in transition. In Game 4 on Sunday, Granger approached Wade after teammate Roy Hibbert and Wade got tied up after a hard foul under the basket.
"I'm all for standing up for your guys, but certain things you just can't keep doing," Wade said. "My message to Granger was that you just can't keep running up into people's faces for altercations. We're not fighting on this basketball court, so let's not act like we're going to fight. We can be physical and do all that, but certain things got to stop. Are you out here to play basketball or are you out here to be a tough guy?"
It has been quite clear that part of the Pacers' strategy for the series is to get under Wade's and James' skin as much as possible. Indiana prefers to play a physical style, especially defensively. Before Game 4 Granger said: "We just want each other to know it's going to be an intense battle, and it's going to be a fight."
James seems to disagree.
"Nobody is fighting on the basketball court. C'mon," he said. "I'm not going to fight because I mean too much to our team and I can't afford to be suspended for a game or do something stupid to get thrown out of a playoff game."

RIP MR. SMOKE
see that's different though. he snuffed rip and stood there giving him an opportunity to retaliate. plus rip and wade are known to hate eachother. what granger is doing is b*tchmade. just barking knowing his big men are three feet away. granger didn't do shyt when wade ran over collision. prolly cause david west was on the other side of the court, unable to come to his rescue fast enough. all he did was point and cry to the refs.

I dont thnik anyone is really standing behind Granger. The point is Wade does plenty of bullshyt, and Lebron aint mentally built to be a tough guy. You see the video of him calling Granger stupid? dude sweet as cupcakes...
I aint talkin about anyone in particular but...
Its funny how Heat fans are under the impression that anyone who calls them on their bullshyt is nothin but a hater, while they're just objective fans callin like it is. If you a Heat fan and you defending your squad i get that...but dont pretend to be objective. The flopping, the bullshyt, you cant deny it. The Heat are a great team but they deserve everything thats said about them....
imho
