Suspention is not the answer! All that hurts is the fans! If you want them to care fine them a large amount but now I have to watch my sons disappointment Sunday as he watches Dwight sit in a chair for his first magic game! Yeah I’m gonna teach him good sportsmanship by expaining to him why he’s sitting but at 180.00 dollars that’s a pretty expensive lesson for me not Dwight! Just a huge let down by the NBA!!!

How come Dwight’s inability to carry himself like a composed leader never comes into the MVP argument?

So he’s going to miss a fairly big game on Sunday against the Bulls because Dwight is a gigantic child who can’t handle when someone calls him out for blatantly breaking the rules that even kids playing middle school ball know?

Come on. Howard’s a great player.

But he will NEVER win a title.

Yeah but, it still takes less to get a Technical this year than last year and haha you’re right Dwight obviously hasn’t adjusted yet

Dwights the new Rasheed Wallace, minus the patch. He gets techs for breathing wrong

I’ll admit that they started out the season with a ridiculous amount of technicals. The refs have realized that the game is not about them and they have eased up. Just the same, players are not throwing as many tantrums. They have adjusted….well, all of them except Dwight Howard.

And people believe that Howard should be the MVP?
He is a great talent but he has a lot of growing up to do. Rose is only 22 and is more of a man right now then Howard will probably ever be.

Go and talk to Bill Russell Dwight.
Maybe he can teach you a thing or two.

But you gotta admit that the refs have had an extremely loose trigger on letting the Techs fly this season

What’s it like always being a victim?

I see nothing wrong with the rule for the suspension after a generous amount of technicals. Howard won’t be suspended because he overreacted to something one time. He’ll be suspended because he’s overreacted to something 18 times.

Happy Birthday David Stern!!!

I hope you love how your refs are making more headlines than Lebron James.

Just what the NBA needs. I think you all better rethink two things…
1) The rules
2) The refs and the opaque screen they hide behind.
