“Soft”: Watch Dwight Howard’s bizarre distancing

The two Los Angeles Lakers exes Danny Green and Dwight Howard arrived tonight (Thursday through Friday) at the Staples with Philadelphia, and along the way collected their championship rings from last season. While Green (28 points and eight 3-pointers) kept smiling until the end, in which the Sixers won 101: 109, Howard’s evening developed in a slightly different direction.

Between the first quarter and the second the old chin was sent off after a puzzling decision that upset the nets. A minute and eight seconds earlier Howard and Monterey Harrell (known as no small provocateurs) had been technically given a go-ahead for an exchange and a push from Harrell, and at the break of the quarters came the moment that caught the full attention.

Howard “got stuck” in Harel (intentionally or not, at your discretion), and in the Lakers’ high response again pushed him with both hands. Referee Kenny Fitzgerald rushed to the scene of the incident, and immediately only a second technical to Howard’s duty, which of course kept him out of the game and sent him to the locker room. Earl, it should be noted, received no further technical offense.

This is not the first time this season that a player has been sent off due to a controversial decision, which led to a storm on social media with a host of comments: “Soft”, “Howard was pushed and pushed away ?!”, “What the hell?” And “shame.” The reporter Chris Manix Laughed as he tweeted: “Only Dwight Howard can be sent off the night he gets a championship ring”, And Kendrick Perkins Criticized: “The referees in the NBA are terrible. There’s no way Howard should be sent off.”


Monterz Harrell did not regret anything, saying at the end: “Honestly, I do not so much care about what happened. I am not afraid of anyone.” Also a Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers Referring to the confrontation, he actually condemned the behavior of his chin: “From my point of view I saw two clowns. Two players doing nonsense with each other and it’s ridiculous on both sides, I did not like it, that’s the bottom line. It was a selfish move by Dwight, because already “You have one technician, so you can not get another one. We only had one center on the roster.”
