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?

Was the T for throwing the ball or for something he said? I tend to not just take the media's word for anything in these matters.

Peace

I've had this just once in my career. It's was in the local men's league and I rang him up before the ball made it's second bounce.

Dwight Howard received a technical foul for that toss.

Dwight - thank you for being an idiot and getting your 18th T of the season & getting suspended for your next game.

Chicago Bulls

P.S. We think you're just scared to play us...

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?
