good defense by the aussies wasn't rewarded by the refs.

Wade is King of the Fairies. Always has been; refs don't seem to be able to recognise flailing of limbs and actual fouling.
Remember Refs: Unless a player is standing to take a charge or happens to physically hiiting another player; IT AIN'T A FOUL, that's called DEFENSE.
Can't believe Anstey got called twice for standing still and getting plowed into.

We're not arguing with his credentials- we're saying he is a flopping bastard.
In fact, his flopping is the reason Miami won the NBA finals (I refuse to humour the ego of the US and refer to the NBA Finals as the 'world championship')
Refs Didnt like calling walks much either, most of the US team Travelled when they got the ball!
Does anyone know what nationality the refs were??

Not sure what you guys are on about all the drives wade did were correctly called fouls.
Big Marty think you need to watch the reply Anstey was Clearly moving! I thought from initial thought that it should have been a no call but the reply clearly shows him moving!
If you are paying out people that flop then you should all be paying out Patrick Mills whom pretended like he got hit in the face when Chris Paul Clearly didn't hit him but got the charge call for it.

KJ - he didn't pretend to get hit, he reacted to a flagrant elbow.
Just like Kane Cornes reacted to Barry Hall pretending to raise a fist a couple seasons back.
I suppose C.J flopped in the fourth when he went for a drive, and ended up landing on his back....
because that's how he normally lands....

Wade gets calls cause he drives a lot to the basket. Anstey's call was marginal, he did slightly move to the right while he was in the air, but he had pretty good position.
The earlier call was what pissed me off. we had the ball and Wade got caught on a screen from Anstey and flopped. A fight nearly broke out as Anstey had a quiet word to Wade. (like get up you flopping bastard!).
I used to like watching the US team play back in the day, but i no longer like to watch them play. I don't even think they play a good brand of basketball.

Watch the reply the "flagrant" elbow that you speak of never touched him and he milked it for all its worth. I don't mind players doing that sometimes but I was just making the point that its stupid to bag a player for doing that when someone on their own team that they support did the same thing.

I'm with KingJames...Wade is one of the toughest players in the league, and he gets calls because he attacks the ring all the time, its his game...The refs weren't bad last night, or at least I definately didn't notice anything bad. There were calls that we should've got and calls US shot have got, and then there were calls that WERE fouls.

KJ - "Watch the reply the "flagrant" elbow that you speak of never touched him "
I never said or even implied it did. I blatently said it was a reaction (ie, getting the f*ck out the way) to the elbow.
I don't think he milked it at all, just reacted and got a lucky call. (which were my exact words when i saw it live last night, it was a lucky call, not a milked call).
No comparision between that and D-whistle IMO.

Playa, don't take it personally, but fuck off. And next time you come back on, speak proper english. I thought you were going to block him Iscaac.
P.S Dwyane Wade gives me the shits.

Personnally I love watching Wade play, I didnt think he flopped last night but wasnt paying enough attention to fully notice. Having said that Ive seen him play several games live and he did not once flop in those games. I do miss watching him hussle shaq down the court though!
I cant stand people that flop and would be very upset if this is true...but i do doubt it.

Wade's more of a "professional flopper" and when I say that I'm not referring to some sort of job in the porn industry.
He's capable of going for a completely unchallenged shot but can still manipulate himself to get contact so he goes for the 3-play. Jordan was one of those people that could do this as well; Wade just isn't as fluid.
With regards to the Mills flop; KingJames is right. He didn't get touched at all. Part of me thinks that if he didn't flop, Mills would be out with a fractured jaw though since Paul was flailing wilding.
