I know I am a biased Cleveland fan but I think it's complete garbage that the NBA rescinded Howard's technical. It's obvious he said something wrong, or the ref wouldn't have called it. And he's a repeat offender, so it's not like this is a one time only thing.

Well they won regardless. It's not really going to make a difference now. If cleveland pulls this series out it would be incredible. I keep waiting for them to kick in in to high gear and I get let down every game. It sucks because I know they are the best team, they are just not clicking right now.

Nothing you say to anyone except the official should ever result in a technical foul. If he gets suspended for too many Techs it would be a total joke.

I disagree. If you don't enforce such things then you're sending a message to players that it's ok to act like either A.) a complete thug or B.) an immature brat.

And the problem with this is? How does it give one team an advantage?

Here's how basketball should be



On that play, no flagrant, no techs, a foul on Laimbeer and that's it. One of the greatest rivalry's ever.

I can't believe you honestly think Howard deserved a tech for that last night.

i knew the Cavs were in trouble when Mo guaranteed a win. watching them warm up, you could see it in Lebron. he's tired. he's worn out and his team isn't producing...

i hope they take game 5 but it'll be tough, they have NO answer for Orlando's outside shooting. none.

True enough, LeBron is tired. More mentally than physically I think.

If I want to see fighting I'll watch UFC. I watch basketball because I want to see a game of skill. I wish the NBA would release exactly what he said to Varejao or whoever, but if the ref made a judgment call on something he said, I'm gonna assume Howard took it a little too far.

Physical games are by and far the best to watch, good call.

Agreed, you ARE a biased Cavs fan.

I probably shouldn't bother responding to this comment because nothing I say will change your mind and no matter what any NBA team does most likely won't change your mind. Enjoy burying your head in the sand, I'll respond when reality checks in.

There is something more appealing about it if you believe they hate each other. I do think fighting should result in ejection and\or technical, but otherwise let the players decide the series. It's bad enough when the ref clearly blows a call and then gives the guy a technical for having the audacity to complain.

What a lot of people don't understand is just how high emotions are running on the court, that's a bi-product of playing so hard, at such a high level on such a giant stage.
