i believe him when he says he wasn't trying to hurt anyone. from the tape, i don't think it was malicious at all. i think there's just going to be some collateral damage when you're playing this intense of a series with a guy that freaking big/strong. i read that in the same quarter, dwight elbowed his own guy (Lee) in the face and broke his nose on accident. i mean, jesus. suspending a guy for a playoff game is pretty dramatic. maybe they shoulda just fined him or something..?
I only saw it once. I 'spose it all depends on whether they decide he meant to elbow him or not. On the one shot i saw of it, looked like he was elbowing him in the head, lol.
I like this exchange from after the ORL-PHI game the other night (this is from a Yahoo story).
Philadelphia coach Tony DiLeo said Howard should have been called for 3 seconds in the lane several times and asked the league to look into the elbow.
“Dwight Howard had a great game, and he’s a great player, but he just lives in the 3-second lane on offense and defense,” DiLeo said. “I’m just saying he’s standing in the 3-second lane on offense and defense. He’s a great player, and he doesn’t need any advantages.”
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy heard DiLeo’s remarks, took the podium and defended his star center by mocking DiLeo.
“Am I supposed to come up here and talk about the game? Or am I supposed to come up here and lobby for the calls I want the next game?” Van Gundy said. “Is that what it’s about now? We’re supposed to lobby for the calls we want the next game? Let’s just play the games."
"I guess that’s the only reason Dwight’s having success in this series. It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s good.”
Yeah i heard those guys. Haha, sound like kids on the playground.
I always love to hear SVG after games. Only person more entertaining after games is Pop. Stan cause he is crazy; pop cause he is funny as heck and makes fun of people who ask retarded questions.
Oh that reminds me, did you see that one guy ask Pop a question about tony using like a '20s newsman voice?
at firstI just was thought what the heck? But, the more i heard it the funnier it was. Something about tony parker being the main butter and egg man.
