Re: Dwight Howard ejection
i honestly would have been ok with a suspension, just a dirty play by d12... so just a fine is awesome.

Re: Dwight Howard ejection
I think the boyz on TNT some it up nicely. Faried came at Howard very hard, and Howard just stuck his arm out and hit him in the head. Faried was the over aggressor and paid the price. It was a good hard foul. Howard wasn't trying to hurt him, just sent him a message.
Bynum attacked JJ, by going after him, but Faried came in hard, hopefully he will think differently next time
That is a good hard foul in my book.
Don't be so soft guys.

Re: Dwight Howard ejection
Dwight's arms were straight out all the way extended when he caught Faried's face with his hands. There is no clear intention to hurt the guy on that play.
Kobe gets whacked in the head all the time without a flagrant being called in fact it happened earlier in the game when Kobe was going up for a layup with no foul called at all. The refs have been tough on Dwight all year and this is just a case of more of the same. I don't blame Dwight for getting upset when every time he makes the littlest contact he's whistled for a foul while others are allowed to hack away at the guy. How much should one man have to take before he gets tired of the double standard and flips out?

Re: Dwight Howard ejection
The most frustrating part of the whole thing is the league makes it a point to say they're going to do something about flopping and on that particular play Faried's flop was far easier to spot than any intent to injure by Dwight. Yet Dwight gets ejected and Faried gets up smiling. Nice job!

Re: Dwight Howard ejection
dwight was mad because faired was outplaying him the entire game. The play wasn't even for the ball and straight for faried's face. Dwight tried to make it look "clean".

Well Wade attacked Kobe, by swapping at his face out of frustration and Kobe was going away from Wade.
Faried was coming straight @ Howard in a very aggressive style, where Howard stuck his arm out and hit him in the head.
Wade attack on Kobe was worst. Wade went out of his way to attack Kobe
