That Was Quick (Dwight Howard)

This morning I wrote about the NBA possibly rescinding Dwight Howard’s sixth technical foul of the playoffs. Guess what? That’s exactly what they did. Howard received the penalty after “taunting” Anderson Varejao in the overtime period after scoring a tough, tough basket — one that saw Varejao hanging all over the Orlando center. The ruling means Howard still has two more to play with before he faces a mandatory suspension. No word on whether or not the NBA rescinded the technical he received for his elbow to Samuel Dalembert’s noggin.
One question before this post ends: Did Varejao’s actions warrant a flagrant foul?

They had to do this to make it look like they didnt want the Cavs to win. 6 techs in 12 games shows an obvious trend but if Howard ended up getting his 7th tech in game 6 and didn’t play in the last game, David Stern would look like he was fixing games. I need to learn how to use punctuation.

It’s funny, they are quick on the whistle with Dwight, but LeBron is getting the same benefit Wade got against the Mavericks — that is, if you so much as breathe on him, it’s a foul. Especially if he misses.
