Dwight Howard plays like a thug and a criminal

[MaxwellSmart86]

He gets called for NOTHING...Early in the game, he landed right on top of Rondo after blocking his layup attempt-NO FOUL-!...Then he PURPOSELY hits Rondo in the face on Rondo's floater..Foul on the other player...then, he Elbows Baby and then hurts Pierce...and the refs do NOTHING.

This is THE most CROOKED crap I have ever seen in this crooked league.

After wading through the refuse on the front page, I suspected the moderators have gone to bed.

This thread confirms it.

It is beneath the standards that Jeff has established for this blog.

Refuse? Posts that don't agree with your pov are not refuse....and as far as the standards of this blog go....they are just as high as when I had joined. I'm glad you are coaching athletes of the future that will hold the refs in high regards. Stern says thank you.

And if there is a post that calls for this thread to be locked, I'm sure the mods will do it...you or me asking for a thread to be locked isn't going to work.

Very true, you can;t tell me that most of his blocks aren't fouls? I mean really? And don't even get me started on his moving screens.

Technically, the title of this thread is libelous, unless the OP has evidence of a criminal past that I'm unaware of.

Disappointing this one hasn't been locked and taken down.

Hmmm.  Not sure about that, technically or otherwise.  Iut I'm not getting into a legal argument this late at night--especially one I'm not getting paid to make!

It's not libelous (not that anyone would bother doing anything about it if it was). It would fall under the heading of satire. But again - there are a  bajillion worse things on other sports blogs.

go read some of the comments at celtics blog at boston.com...there are a lot of people who think the NBA, Stern and the zebras are crooked...Supergirl and LeQueen are their paid henchman...

I love how he acts so innocent. On the replays it looks accidental contact cause he's looking away when dropping those elbows. I wouldn't doubt if its premeditated. He's a thug like that. And Perk is the one with the bad rep.

Is this serious?

Howard, meanwhile, was unaware what was going on.

“I was looking for him because that was my man,” Howard said. “When I saw him down I was like, ‘Oh, man.’ I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to help him but he’s on the other team. I don’t know. I tried to stay back and just wait.

“I hope he’s OK. He’s one of my friends. You never want to see anybody, especially a friend, go down like that. Like I said, I hope he’s OK.”

It's official. Howard has shot past Lebron, Kobe and JO to the top of my hate list.

Doc just needs to "mention" it to the media, the way Phil Jackson "mentions" things to the media.

Doc should have been doing this all along.

That first one you mention was an obvious non call unless the ref is a Celtics fan. Howard's block was clean. Rondo came down on Howard's leg.

There was also nothing to call on the elbow to baby. Howard can remain levitating in the air. He has to come down when he jumps. That's what happens when you stand planted on the floor underneath a guy who jumps really high when rebounding.

Unfortunately, the refs are not wearing Celtics fan glasses.

Complain about the bad Tech call against Perk.

Trying to single out Howard sounds bizarre considering Howard gets into foul trouble all the time.

Geeze....he moves BOTH feet about 6'...NO CALLS....Perk leans a hip out...OFFENSIVE FOUL-!!! what a HUGE load of CRAP----and Gortat is in the LANE 2 seconds before the ball is released on all the free throws.

It is shocking that people read this quote and then hate him. Especially when you have a fan quote admitting Howard wasn't looking at Baby when the incident happened.

Some people just want to hate.

If you hit a shooter behind the 3 point line AFTER he releases his shot---it's a foul...so why no foul when HOWARD comes down ON TOP of Rondo after he blocks his shot---Rondo DID NOT come down on Howard's leg--GIMME a BREAK...Rondo was on the floor already..and Howard landed on top of him.

and...Howard had 2 FOULS TONIGHT.....TWO-!!

Howard knows that he's coming down with those elbows hard. And he does it hoping that people are there. He's not an idiot, he's been playing basketball a long time. Dwight knows exactly where his elbows are and where defenders are. Defending him after this game is a joke and anyone who does ought to be ashamed. He slapped rondo in the face earlier in the game, purposely elbowed pierce in the face and then gave baby a concussion. All while visibly p---ed off in a physical game where elbows were being thrown. If you think dwight howard's elbows were completely accidental, you're simply a fool.
