    Cut to the basket? (which is typically the point of the pump fake, to get yourself open)

    Yeah, launched himself to block the shot.

    He didn't throw himself into Kidd, Kidd went out of his way to create that contact, not Wade.

    Wade made a play on the ball, Kidd was looking for a freebie call... dangerous play on his part.

    He could've got the call without throwing himself into Wade.

    Yeah Kidd traveled big time on that play where Wade launched himself over there on the wing. But, thats a tough call for the ref to make.

    i'll keep complaining as long as the foul count is 21-12 for dallas in a game where miami is the aggressor. miami's first 5 fouls this quarter came, 3 feet, 80 feet, 23 feet, 23 feet, and 23 feet from the basket. and that was before dallas was whistled once. after dallas already had a big advantage on calls.

    i dont know why a lot of coaches do this. it's stupid to sit your star when he's hot, and your team is rolling.

    He had no chance of a clean block. So he launched himself at Kidd. What do u expect Kidd to do in that situation? Not shoot and be in a bad position? Let wade have a highlight?

    ...more accurately, they can thank Carlisle for inserting Peja Stojakovic in the lineup.

    James was right there. No room to cut. Wade had no chance of a block so decided to launch himself. Kidd did the right play in that situation
