All those shots made by Alston in this 3rd quarter might be bad news for the Magic later in the game because he could start feeling like no shot is a bad shot and may not be making them later. Bad tech on Howard ... they need to let that stuff go.
I didn't agree initially but then saw the replay. He was facing the Cavs player, otherwise they wouldn't have called it.
I'm sorry but this **** makes the NBA look worse than the fact players might be taunting/trashing etc. Its the playoffs... these guys played all year to get here, there is going to be emotion... just let it go FFS.
That is true but Howard needs to still have that in the back of his mind. He needs to be a choirboy now.
For example assuming that they're the creation of the media and don't have special abilities. Assuming that every call against an opponent of Kobe or Lebron is a bailout.
What I don't get is how something that is a taunting technical yet J.R. Smith is allowed to make a three then run around acting like he just won the Powerball. Does the fact that Dwight was facing Varejeo really make THAT big of a difference that those situations are so black & white?
Yeh I know, if he does get the 7th though it will be like Amare when he came off the bench... the punishment is much more severe than the crime.
