I stopped watching after Rivers hit that 3 in the 4th so I did not see. Enjoyed Game of Thrones and Mad Men much more.

If Reggie Miller wasn't so worried about his camera man, we might of gotten a good view of Howard bouncing the ball toward the official. From what I saw, it was a borderline tech at best. As someone was already mentioned, cp3 did something similar & was suspended. OTOH, this is the Rockets we're talking about, so no Dwight for game 5.
Dwight didn't do anything wrong, IMO. It was a BS foul call that disqualified him. He just discarded the ball in disgust without really aiming at anyone. Whatever, if they do suspend him, I'd take it as euthanasia. Or maybe it would resurrect us with a Clintsanity miracle. :grin:

Meanwhile Blake's motion to push Howard's head toward his crotch goes unnoticed... <iframe style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0"></iframe>
This is why I thought he got the tech in the first place. There were at least two quick occurrences of fairly strong contact initiated by Dwight against the ref. I believe one was of Dwight reaching down and across the ref's shoulder to get his attention. The other time he grabbed his arm. He was being fairly aggressive to get the guy's attention.
I hope McHale trots out the bench and retiring players the whole game. Jet, Nick, Papa, Capela, Dorsey Prigs. Force KJ to play one handed. There's ur lineup. Hell McHale should suit up too his days in Houston might be numbered
Ridiculous! For shame What about Lebron then and the MDJ flop? Why don't fine him too for contact above the neck. Or just fine every single player of the playoffs.
I wouldn't think so, but it's pretty amazing the things we are penalized for that other teams get away with, seeing flopping, techs, ejections, etc. That said, we haven't played well enough to win regularly, regardless of that fact.
