Dwight Howard suspended, can't play in Magic-76ers Game 6

Superman got suspended? But he's superman is he not? :D

Yea, that looked pretty deliberate. I think 1 is light. It looks like it will be 3-3 and game 7 make final decision.

He deserved it. And I'm glad to see the league had the balls to suspend him.

[QUOTE=HeyIt'sMe]KG's actions against the Hawks last year was worse. Predictably, he didn't get suspended.[/QUOTE]

Why would anyone on the Celtics ever get suspended. They win 1/3 of their games off bull**** calls or pure luck.

If the refs called a foul on Dalembert for pushing Dwight in the back, the elbow would of never happened.

Shoving someone in their back is not even allowed in the NFL.

Agreed. Doesn't excuse the elbow though. Although I thought it was more of a warning elbow than anything from Dwight. I don't think he meant to connect with the head. Obviously he just clipped him or Dalembert would have been seeing stars.

I agree, Dwight should be suspended for this game too.

The Boston and Philly fans here are practically blowing their collective wads in glee over this one. Yes, Howard deserved a suspension for connecting with that elbow to the head.

However, the whole idea behind competition is beating the best out there --at least for those who really want to BE the best team as opposed to simply having the most opportune circumstances helping them most of the way.

You think Larry Bird was happy not to get to face Magic in the 86 finals because the Rockets beat an injured Lakers team? I doubt he was happy getting to steamroll an obviously inferior team.

A fan who isn't a loser would want their team to be able to beat their competition with all of its personel being healthy and/or available.[/QUOTE]

Get off your high horse you dooshbag. That might be acceptable in the regular season (I still say no even then), but if we lose we go home. If you need a bit of luck, so be it. Real fan or not, I'm happy and will be perfectly fine with it when we win Game 6. This isn't phucking highschool basketball, idiot.

Yeah I see that point as well. But as the poster below you stated, it's no excuse. The correct call would have been for the ref to call the foul on Delembert and eject howard for the elbow.

The refs also need to be more dilligent about calling those types of fouls too. Delembert was not boxing out or using any technique that is in the game of basketball. He was straight up pushing him with two hands. Had that happened on the playground (where hard play is the norm), he would've been punched. Too many players result to MMA when it comes to stopping Dwight Howard from getting a rebound.

This suspension certainly makes this series more entertaining. This could be like the Cavs/Wiz rivalry of old.

don't forget stupid clumsy no footwork post game, can only dunk and camp in the paint dwight also took out his own team mate courtney lee lol.

Even after all that Dwights still ok

[QUOTE=Darkwing Duck]I dont think so.

i remember back in the day karl malone elbowed and gave stitches to a blazer. i think it was either brian grant or dale davis, i cant remember.

but it was obviousley on purpose and no foul was called and no suspension or anything, just a band-aid.[/QUOTE]

it was brian grant, and he also knocked out one of his teeth.

Deserved the POS well deserves the suspension.

Sucks for Orlando, they will really need Lewis and Hedo to have huge games tonight.

It's going to 7!
