Video: Should Dwight Howard be Suspended?

by Marcel Mutoni

Orlando has Philly on the ropes, and with the series shifting back to the City of Brotherly Love for Game 6, the question on everyone’s mind is whether or not Dwight Howard will be in uniform.

Shockingly, Howard (who had a spectacular performance) was allowed to stay in the game last night following the elbow he threw at Samuel Dalembert’s head last night, but the League has little choice but to make a decision about his eligibility to play in the next game.

Take a look at the video evidence and make the call: Should Dwight be suspended?

    The NBA: where high flying stars, game fixing refs, and Stern’s puppets get together to sh*t on basketball.
    I’d rather watch college….less talent, more respect for the game.

    When it comes to suspensions the NBA is more consistent than any other league. Dwight will be suspended regardless of superstar status just like Amare for coming off the bench during the Spurs series. So anyone who thinks he won’t be suspended b/c of his superstar status is wrong.

    This should warrant 2 games, but they’ll only give him one. Rondo’s should have gotten a game or two, but he won’t get any.

  • the big ticket

    ok dwight was in game and different out one game…bout the rondo one there was bout 6 seconds left and he was fouling hard to prevent an easiy lay up to tie the game and the blood made it look worse… he woulda air balled the layup anyway

    Dwight’s such a thug.

  • Chris

    I believe the one who punches first gets whatever degree of attack that comes back, sure, this is a game, but there was some brutal shoving going on by Philly……and if you tangled most players up that way and they didn’t get the call they are going to react…….remember “hack-a-shaq”…same thing is happening most every game to Howard….and if he really wanted to hurt him it would have been a later elbow to the face which he could have made look like an accident…….Philly knows they have no shot of winning this series if Howard remains in, and to you Philly fans, if you were even lucky enough to pull this off you would be swept in the next round, do you really think you have hopes of making the championship??? Quit kidding yourselves, lucky the Magic have been letting you get this far. Go eat cheesesteak and call it a series, maybe in a few decades you will be ready to make your run?

  • Josh D

    Yeah

  • Erik

    Nah, looks bad. But wasnt, he was just swinging his arms back into place to run forward. Dwight gets grab, pushed, late hits after the whistle an never retaliates.

    Yeah he is out. play wit it.

  • sam

    yeah i guess so….if sammy dalembert did that to d howard there wouldnt even be a debate…i wonder if theyd suspend kobe or lebron if they did that

  • Samcobillibob

    NO WAY should he be suspended. Dalembert kept pushing him even after the ball went through the hoop. It should have been left at a double technical.

  • adbphilly

    lets go philly. time to get one at the wachovia center and then lets stick it to em on saturday.

  • that dude

    @Erik “he was just swinging his arms back into place to run forward”

    Hahaha you should be a politician.

    If this happened off the court Howard would be facing charges. Completely malicious. Suspend him.

    Yeah that was bad man. I’m surprised it’s just one game really… the hold over is that I would NEVER have expected this from a preachers son…

    if that didn’t deserve a suspension then I might have to boycott the NBA

  • Bxn

    Yes. What a cheap shot!

    Yes, his elbow could knock you out or make you loose your teeth.

  • Rudeger

    D12′s my boy, but if that elbow would have been a bit more to the right, Sammy D’s funeral would be in planning mode.

  • bolletrie

    yep, just for the stupidity of doing it right in front of the refs.

  • youngmuggsy

    Hasn’t Garnett been doing this sort of thing his whole career?
