No Joshing Matter

[jmard5]

Josh Howard doesn't think there's anything accidental about the fact that he turned his right ankle for the second time in the past three games on Monday.

"Hopefully, they'll send the tapes in and have a talk with those people, because that ain't right," said a livid Howard who believes that landing on the foot of Jason Kapono last week and Joe Johnson last night may have been more than bad luck.

"I'm the only one it's been happening to and I know it's not fate. Somebody's telling somebody to do something."

Well, we're not here to stoke any conspiracy theories that opposing teams are out to undercut Howard on his jump shots, but he says it's happened to him five times this season, so perhaps he has a right to moan, especially considering the fact that undercutting jump shooters was supposedly addressed in the pre-season officials' meetings.

Fortunately for Howard owners, this injury doesn't appear nearly as serious as the ankle sprain he suffered earlier this year that knocked him out for eight games. X-rays were negative and Howard, although he had a limp, was at least able to walk on his own power. The team lists him as day-to-day, so he's questionable at best for tonight's game.

I don't think it is a conspiracy but how would Spur's fans feel if this happened to Ginobli or Parker twice in three games? I am sure there would be some pissed of Spurs fans. It is just bad luck.

The Spurs and their fans have never been crybabies about anything. They've got those 2.5 championships that prove it.

uhh it's happened to duncan before, it happened to sheed a couple games ago. it happens all the damn time in the NBA. maybe not twice in three games, but people land on feet all the time.

Mind you, we have a different topic in this thread.

This crap about Spurs' 2.5 championships? Did you not discuss this from another thread?

It is bad luck. Josh just can't go out and call out a conspiracy against him. Suck it up, dude.

[LEONARD]

Suck it up, dude.

He did...17 / 7 last night... :lol

Someone else said that if this happened to a Spur that people would complain. I kindly informed them that no, it wouldn't be the case, because the Spurs have never been crybabies about anything ever. And do they not own 2.5 championships? I'm staying perfectly on topic.

Yes, Josh needs to suck it up. I thought what Kapono did was dirty, but definitely not Joe Johnson.

[AFBlue]

It's a medical fact that ankles weakened by sprains have a tendency to roll and get sprained again. It's a vicious cycle, and one that is only stopped by the player/person completely recovering....

So, basically the conspiracy theory is shite. Howard's ankles are weak and whereas he would typically shrug off an ankle roll, he can't because of his pre-existing condition...

[Viva Las Espuelas]

They've got those 2.5 championships that prove it.Is this similar in meaning as Hee-Haw being named an all-star?

Alright, Spurs would indeed complain but not call out conspiracy theories.

And regarding your argument for this 2.5 championship, this has been argued well on the other thread from which you had this previously posted. It is obviously off-topic.

Keep it cool and watch the better games come playoff time.

If you wanna asterisk that, go right ahead. I could care less.

You might want to check on how many times Duncan had his ankle sprained landing on someones foot in the 2005 season. Difference is he didn't whine about it and and come out with some lameass conspiracy theory.

No, the difference is that Duncan is a post player. Lots more feet to land on in the paint. I don't agree with the conspiracy thing but the guy is frustrated and I would be too. It happens everytime on JUMPSHOTS. Not when he is driving the lane, jumpshots. Players don't need to put their feet where he just took off from to have a successful boxout. He doesn't kick his legs out so its obvious that their feet have to be right where he would land. JJ wouldn't do it on purpose, no way. However, Pietrus (the guilty party when Josh rolled it and was out 8 games), was not even facing the basket. Players just need to be aware thats all. Josh is just frustrated. 2 times in 3 games. And you can't make it up, the video shows it. It sucks but no conspiracy theory. The poor guy just has bad luck. I cringe when he goes up for a jumpshot these days. Afraid he will do it again.

I don't care if he is a problem for you or the rest of the league. If he annoys you, I couldn't care less. He is a great locker room guy in one of the best locker rooms in the NBA (per Stack) and a great team guy. He sucked it up all right....to the tune of 17 and 7 last night. He can get mad all he wants. The guy is a player.

yep, Josh is his own worst enemy.

Okay, Spurs fans, I know I know it wasn't a cheap shot, Bowen's never done anything remotely cheap or dirty. It's just Mavs fans bitching and crying and whining, something no Spur has ever done in the history of the franchise. I've heard it all so I'll just post it for you.

Well being a Hawks fan who converted to a Mavs fan is kinda why. If that is your reason for liking the hawks then so be it.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Never said i wasn't a Mavs fan. I live in Dallas so I will root for the Mavs. I DID say that my favorite team is the Hawks, which they are. Also note in that thread you found that many times I said that the officials were not to blame for the Finals loss. Get it right before making assumptions, dumbfuck.



you're right. i'm a mavs fan, but i know that anybody that thinks the Mavs are gonna be back in the finals without a doubt is delusional. I know they'll be a serious contender, but they've got the Spurs, Suns, and Clippers to deal with next year. They can do it, but it's no guarantee.

EARTH TO MARK CUBAN....TRADE FOR CHRIS WEBBER! :dramaquee

[RonMexico]

It's kind of weak for him to be calling them out when previous opponents have called him out for tripping them up to prevent fast breaks.

Mavs fans like to throw out the term "karma" with respect to Wade, so perhaps it applies here too.

#1 - seeing the play, Joe Johnson did not do it on purpose and #2 - perhaps Howard should try not jumping forward on his shooting motion.

[mavsfan1000]

I don't know about the Joe Johnson incident but I think Kapono stepped under Howard on purpose. Kapono is another bitch on a team full of them. Wade, Shaq, Alonzo, Posey, Walker, and etc. The all hate team.

[Extra Stout]

Howard should stop whining. Tim Duncan won his third Finals MVP award while playing on two sprained ankles.

[RonMexico]

Sometimes Josh doesn't take responsibility for what happens to him. He was drafted low because he "didn't get no respect." Wasn't voted an all-star because everyone else is "whack," not even stopping to think that maybe 19 pts and 7 rebounds aren't the most all-star worthy numbers in a deep forward conference. And, lastly, that timeout he called in the Finals was the "ref's fault."

[Findog]

...well he's never punched someone in the nuts and been suspended a game for it.

Jason Terry never kicked Wally Szerbiqadkjlaldfjasldfjdalfkjdasl;iak in the face. It's been sweet watching Bowen melt down in front of our eyes this year and lose the only two marginal skills keeping him in the league: keeping his man in front of him (which he can't even accomplish with dirty play anymore) and knocking down the odd three-ball when TD gets double-teamed. Karma's a bitch Bruce.

[Findog]

Sometimes Josh doesn't take responsibility for what happens to him. He was drafted low because he "didn't get no respect."

Who would you take over him if the draft was done over today? By my count, he'd go fifth.

Wasn't voted an all-star because everyone else is "whack," not even stopping to think that maybe 19 pts and 7 rebounds aren't the most all-star worthy numbers in a deep forward conference. Only reason Marion got in is because the game was in Vegas. You know roster spots are doled out for sentimental reasons that have nothing to do with basketball, and furthemore, there's not enough roster spots anyway for the Game in order to accomodate all worthy players. Josh deserved to go this year, end of story. As long as there's only 12 roster spots, there's going to be 3-4 guys shafted every year.

I think the Refs should try their hardest to make a distinction between someone reacting emotionally or gennuienly to a call or just trying to bitch for the sake of bitching. Following the refs after a call and complaining , or stopping to say somthing to them while the game is still going should warrant a tech. a show of frustation on a dead ball should be let go.

[td4mvp21]

Use your brain. First off, hes obviously frustrated. Second, the fact that it has happened to him 5 times already this season, while it is only a rare occurence around the rest of the league seems rather fishy. I'm not saying that there are people out to get him, but it does seem odd.

Im not arguing that either. Its just funny how it keeps happening the same way, especially the way that Kapono did it. It could very well be a coincedince. Who knows? its just funny looking is all I said.

[RonMexico]

It's not that funny looking... when you jump forward on your shot and you have a high release point (which means defenders try to close the gap more to get a hand on the shot), then you're gonna step on some feet... let's not forget how huge these guys' feet are.

Josh is just being a little whiner.
