He's the only one that's been called for the violation...and for good reason. He's the only one in the NBA who's even close to approaching 10 seconds...not since Karl Malone have I seen anyone take so long.

Classic......
Many of us here have admitted to never having called this violation, and an NBEer gets its twice in a week?

Bwahahaha!

It's the third time Dwight has been called for it. His first violation came on a Christmas day game. It's not as if the call came as a surprise to Dwight as he and the Orlando Magic have been warned from the League previously that he was taking too long.

Most of us I am sure never get close to having to ever call this. I have only been involved in a game once where this was even an issue and my partner called it appropriately. Then every time I see him I give him crap about it (we still find it funny). But that does not mean that he was wrong, just something we never see regularly or even have to fight with ourselves to make this call.

Peace

Yep.

On the one on Christmas Day, I think it was like 15 seconds and he didnt even look like he was thinking about starting his shooting motion.

I don't know how long he took with the last 2 violations but for him to still be getting called for this and toss the ball for an easy T afterwards shows his immaturity. It will be interesting to see if this is a message before the playoffs and if he gets that message.

Forget the violation for a bit.

Anyone here ever have a T for throwing the ball away like Howard did?

I was at the Christmas day game. It was more like a full twelve. Bob Delaney rung him up. He had bounced the ball twice and wasn't even starting his motion.

How dumb do ya have to be to get rung up THREE TIMES for that violation in the same season?

The technical was well deserved and any other NBA official would have called it rightfully so. I would have called it. He was pouting and whining like a child. He says he understands and is going to work on not getting technicals and yet does things to get himself technicals. He is either a hypocrit or a liar. And how does it take ten seconds to put up an awful looking free throw? This isn't just fun and games Dwight. This is your career, your profession. I understand it is the game of basketball, but try to make it appear you take it seriously. Unless you don't want to win a Championship and just want to entertain people on the court.

Naw, he's just one of today's average NBE players. No better, no worse. And that's just one of the reasons imo the league is not worth watching anymore.

But I watched parts of two games this past week and saw a carry called in one and traveling called twice in the other! Something weird is going on.

Don't even try...a lot of people here don't like the NBA game (as is their right) as they feel it's all "entertainment" to them. Some on here even go so far as to call it the WWE (by calling it NBE).
