Flying knee to Thomson's head
Howard's elbow to Iggy's shoulder
Howard teams have a history of this stuff, he did the same stuff on the losing end against the Celtics in 2010.
ok
Ya, haven't seen a big man trying so hard to get ejected since Bynum's man ties were exposed, tbh..
The pedophile is a piece of . that guy.

You should just remove the yn in Bynum's last name. Guy was a POSYa, haven't seen a big man trying so hard to get ejected since Bynum's man ties were exposed, tbh

AI was faking it, notice he came back just fine, no broken collar bone or anything. Klay's was incidental contact. He tried to draw contact and drew too much.
An elbow to Iggys shoulder? Really? That was an A-list hollywood acting job by Iggy.
We need a sub forum for Laker pussies.
The shoulder injury may have been an acting job, but that doesn't make Dwight bringing up his forearm to his neck and head area any less dirty. For much of this series, Dwight didn't seem concerned with playing basketball. He just wanted to swing elbows and firearms anytime he felt like he was getting fouled. Dwight was been a hack these playoffs.
Do you see how Golden State plays? They hack and grab all the time too and whine like they did nothing. That's bogus with Dwight not trying to play ball. Only elbow he swung back was after Bogut was already pushing and shoving on Howard who was trying to get down the court. Let's not overlook that.
I said nothing about how Golden State plays. How they play has nothing to do with the fact Dwight has been ing cheap and dirty.
Dwight Howard has had several incidents of playing dirty that had nothing to do with basketball. I didn't say there weren't reasons for it. He's gotten frustrated over getting fouled and hacked and intentionally fouled for free throws. He got frustrated with his teammates last night. And I'm sure all of those things ac ulate during the course of these games where he didn't want to play real basketball anymore. And it's probably why he's been dirty as these playoffs. Not just last night's elbow to Iguodala. Not just the swing to Bogut's face. Not just the body check to Blake Griffin when he was already in the air. But those three incidents alone are enough to cons ute a dirty post season for him. But there have been constant swinging of the elbows after a rebound to clear space, forearms and shoulders when setting picks, cheap shots when players were in vulnerable positions. Again, Dwight has been dirty as .
Homer glasses or not, I don't think it's even debatable.
Griffin and Dwight were both on that ground with that body check where dwight got called for it. I haven't seen much dirtiness from Dwight in the playoffs. He had some stupid retaliation shots, but I didn't see him play dirty. That video of the elbow in the OP wasn't dirty either.
If anything...people call Dwight soft
He's done it to Blake a couple of times and gotten him ejected once or twice. Thats why the league didn't suspend Dwight last game, it was clear he was trying to get free. When someone does that to you, you don't just push off like Dwight did, but you don't sit there like a pussy and let them walk all over you. Its funny how Dwight is held to so many double standards tbh. I don't hold back when it comes to criticizing my team's own players: Harden was a pussy and Dwight plays like a mental midget that gets aggravated kind of easily....but the dirty claim is laughable.
I don't know why you have some notion that if I call Dwight Howard that it means I'm suggesting the opposing players are innocent victims. I'm not saying that at all. I didn't say Bogut wasn't dirty as well. I didn't say Iguodala wasn't acting. But either of those two or both being the case, it doesn't mean Dwight is not dirty.
I'm sure much of it stemmed from being intentionally fouled to force him to the free throw line. He didn't like it. He doesn't like it. And you'd see a lot of times when players start to intentionally foul him, he brings his elbows up and gets ready to swing them or shove the player trying to foul him. Saw it last night. And any time his arms get tangled with another player, his elbows come up or he chops down on the player's arm. I'm not saying be a pussy. But Dwight reacts in ways that can seriously injure a player. And when the Rockets are getting blown out, watch out. He starts fouling players without going after the basketball. His body check on Griffin in game 6 (I believe) was a foul with Griffin in the air. Griffin was not on the ground.
None of that means that Dwight isn't being hacked or that players aren't initiating with him or that there aren't some flops as well. But Dwight gets reckless when he gets frustrated. He starts swinging elbows high near heads and necks. He puts his shoulder into players. He delivers cheap shots. There's a reason for it. I absolutely agree with that. I know why he's doing it. But he's still doing it. Dwight has been a dirty hack these playoffs, no question. It's not laughable at all. It's more laughable to try to deny that it's been the case.
