i'm just now watching that game (thanks r2k) and i noticed on that play that dwade steps on snyders right foot just before he falls. i thought his falling didn't look quite right. he was unable to step back with his right foot causing him to lose his balance. reminds me of all the times they air the play where jordan pushed off on bryan russell to get the game winning shot on utah. buncha bs if you ask me.
I must be going blind,....i cant seem to find the preseason video thread for the rockets vs magics can someone please show me the way??
He was talking about the Heat game....magics game is not up yet....it's suppose to be here http://www.rocketredrockers.net:6969/index.html
I can't believe that play made SportCenter top 10 plays... freaking [E]ast[C]oastports[N]etwork bias.. and that doesn't include not having any of Yao's highlights and having a bunch of Shaqs. They need to show more of his free throw airballs.
AI did the same thing to Jacque Vaughn. Does anyone care? No, cause it was a nice more. Wade's wasn't as nice, but he embarassed Synder all the same.
That's no news. ESPN has been like this all along. Now, Wade not only had a 4-step layup around Yao, but he stepped on Snyder for another highlight? Shame.
Wade didn't even make a move. As he stepped on Snyder's foot, he did a step back and shot a jumper. Wow...look out Hot Sauce, here comes DWade.
Unfortunately I saw the ESPN highlights of that game. They showed four highlights of Wade and one of McGrady passing to Alston. It was excellent. They ended by showing the Wade travel, saying something like, "Wade with the spectacular finish...but the Rockets won".
True but since it's the preseason a month from now all anyone will care about is the crossover. But i agree. Winning is all that should matter.

Yeah thats gay how Wade gets all the bs calls goin his way. First the free throws in playoffs, then no traveling call, and now people think he's a street baller for stepping on Snyder's foot and makin him fall. I posted a comment on YouTube under the video to let people know he stepped on his foot.
Just to show how cheap of a move this is, and how it gives zero indication of a player's offensive ability, I remember when Mo Taylor was a Rocket, he pulled this same move on Kevin Garnett, causing KG to fall down, giving the illusion that KG just got crossed, when all that really happened was Mo-T stepped on KG's foot. KG getting crossed by Mo Taylor? Uh, I don't think so. I'm sure someone can find this on one of R2K's releases and make a youtube clip. Refs should crack down on this move, keep an eye out for it, and call a violation on the offensive player when they see it.
wade is very impressive but that move was not. snyder didn't fall down because he got faked out, he just fell over, or got stepped on, apparently.
