    The double T's on Bogut and Dwight were rescinded.

    This play was reviewed by the refs and after a very short period (quickest review I've ever seen) they deemed it to not be a flagrant.

    What's the point of having the refs review stuff or where is the accountability for the refs getting those calls wrong on the court......doesn't make sense to me. (both of these ended up not mattering in game, but that's no excuse)

    LOL Of course they suspend Howard... the series is over. They wouldn't have had the balls to do the suspension if there was a game 6.

    What he did to Iggy was flagrant. What he did to Dirk was not.

    Anyway, Clintsanity here we come!

    BTW, suspending a guy in the next regular season for what he did in the playoffs seems lame to me. How about suspending him in his next playoffs game?

    Are you kidding? You'd rather Dwight miss Game 1 of the first round next year than the regular season opener?

    It's not about having balls or not having balls.

    He picked up his 4th flagrant point. There is no game six. If there was, he would have been suspended. His next game is game one of the 2015-16 regular season.

    Hence, the suspension next year.

    That just ruined our #1 seed chances next season.

    One game does not make that big of a difference in the standings at the end of the season. Just ask the Spurs....oh wait.

    Getting the suspension is just going to add to his reputation as a villain.

    No, if there was a game 6, they have an incentive to review and determine that there was no technical so that he would not be suspended. Not sure they'd be able to weasel out of it given the footage, but they'd look for a way to. Without a game 6, there's no incentive to avoid a suspension.

    It's BS, Dwight is not reffed correctly. I guess big men in general get screwed and it really pisses me off because NBA is a big mans game.

    No mention of the elbow forearm to TJones from that scum Green huh?

    Bogut gets away with a lot, it's not all big men that they ref incorrectly, but the overly physically dominate ones generally are affected, it's the opposite of the 90s/early 2000s and what Shaq was able to do.

    Annoying how THREE referees looked at the play at least five or six times decided it was a common foul and someone at the NBA office disagrees and overrules.

    Also, his first flagrant on Dirk was one of the worst calls I've seen this postseason.

    Bogut is cheap and dirty scum that's why he gets away with it. But guys like Boogie and Dwight are treated very unfairly.
