Dwyane Wade was recently suspended for one game for kicking Ramon Sessions in the groin after he was fouled. This incident has lead the Miami Heat to speak out against what they believe is the Big 3 being targeted. Read more after the jump.
The Heat said they disagreed with the suspension and further complained about how their players have been being treated by opposing teams recently. Wade, the Heat said, is one of the players the opposition “takes privileges with.” They said they had “made their feelings known to the league office.”
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra implied the Heat’s stars are being targeted by opposing teams.
“That was a very physical game; there were a lot of hard hits in that game,” Spoelstra told reporters in Detroit. “What we’re getting tired of as an organization are the hits, particularly to Dwyane and LeBron and Chris (Bosh). That is the game plan against us.”
So essentially Spoelstra is saying teams intentionally hit his star players in order to try and win the game. That’s a big accusation and I’m curious to see how it will be handled.
