Dwight Howard plays like a thug and a criminal

[rutzan]

And the refs are not too far behind...this is a travesty...the worst officiated game I have ever seen in my whole life...they did not care if anyone gets hurt...Howard follows thru with his arm and then twists their arm behind their back on the way down...he's done it to Pierce twice and Perk once...not to mention all the elbows to the face and neck of Garnett, Davis, Perk...

and I love the innocent, no look method he gives while he's doing it...so transparent

I remember back in the day Dikembe Mutumbo had the same issue with his elbows - eventually, he starting getting T'd up for it, until he stopped.

I love Dwight Howard - he's a decent young man and an up-and-coming great player. But he has got to realize that he can do better with his elbows.

been saying it all year...he throws the elbow all the time

[Frezz]

Shelden Williams should seriously come into game 6 and give him a Kermit Washington right to the face. It's what Dwight has been doing all series.

Dwight Howard is not criminal, he's become reckless.  And he's become reckless because he has been allowed to.  Dead on, GF1819.

At this rate, Shelden might need to start game 6, so...

someone needs to wipe that pretty boy smile off Supergirl's face...JVG thinks it's just playoff basketball...then someone needs to ram an elbow in his grill...then SVG's grill...then Supergirl's grill...Supergirl is a coward...he can't win a game on his talent...so he has to play dirty...and of course Stern and his paid off cronies stand in the background with smiles ear to ear as they babysit their primadonna...

I want to see Nate do to Dwight what Rondo did to Brad Miller last year.

get a grip, people. howard isn't a thug or a criminal. he's simply a dirty player...or at least is allowed to play dirty. call him out for what he clearly is doing (throwing elbows recklessly). i actually don't think many of them are intentional per se, but the fact that he doesn't get called for them tells him he can be reckless with them, which makes matters worse. so, yeah, call him out for being allowed to play dirty. don't resort to middle school crap and call him a thug and a criminal. he's neither of those.

every celtic fan should email the NBA...now...just do it...

[rutzan]

do me favor...go ask Davis and Pierce and tell me what they say...

[jbowen]

<sarcasm> NOOOOOOOO!! Dwight is a good Christian role model who plays the game the right way! </sarcasm>

Him and Barnes are some of the dirtiest players in the league.  It's like watching Ric Flair out there (only supposedly the NBA isn't predetermined?).  The Cs need to play the games in sparring headgear just to be able to finish the game anymore..
