How long does it take to watch a replay, consult anyone involved in the incident and make your decision? I don't understand why it takes all day and they still can't release their ruling. What are they waiting for? Results of Curry medical tests? NBA rigged game if Dwight is suspended.
Do not listen at these people. The only you will get out of it is anger and bad for your health. Not one single lick of good analysis.
Reminds me of when Harden kicked Lebron. It took them all day to issue the ruling. I believe it was after 5 when the bad news came down if I remember correctly.
The only thing we can hope for is that since the elbow didn't actually connect, they won't penalize him the same way they would have had it actually landed. Fingers crossed, but Dwight should be ashamed at himself for putting himself, his teammates, and the fans in this unenviable predicament of having our fate decided by an outside force other than what they do on the floor. They should be preparing for the game tomorrow with 100% of their focus on that instead of worrying about his status.
From the SF Chronicle today. Even the local paper agrees this wasn't a flagrant 2. http://www.sfgate.com/sports/jenkins/article/Dwight-Howard-doesn-t-deserve-suspension-6286839.php
The real question is does Dwight getting suspended rally the troops OR make them fold... Would love for the Rockets to stun them for game 5 without Dwight...have a ton of momentum heading into game 6 with Dwight returning...crushing them at home,...only to have the EPIC game 7 showdown everyone wants to see...
First Dwight stops eating lunch with Harden, now he and Bogut aren't friends? Jeez Dwight, stop alienating people already. Dwight should have tried to kiss Bogut on that play, that's what the NBA really wants to happen.
These "journalists" are incapable of independet smart thought and opinion and are just parotting the established narrative. It will change as soon as Harden wins. This is how it always has worked.
When the league makes a decision either way we will find out. Like they did with Horford there will be on the news : League decided not to apply further punishment to Howard.
The Harden suspension came at roughly 6:30 p.m., and that was the day after a Sunday afternoon game. For whatever reason, they take a lot of time with these things. Still, I would think/hope there would be a greater sense of urgency with the playoffs. I would caution everyone at assuming no news = good news. If there's going to be no further discipline, they'll leak that, too -- just as they did during the Tyson Chandler case. If it's quiet, my guess is that their review process is still ongoing.
