Are you s***ing me Howard?

 

your up by 3 with 11 seconds and you're on the line for 2 free throw and you blow it and you miss them both and the lakers come back and hit a 3 to tie to force OT

 

EDIT: and they lose in OT

 

f*** I was pulling for Orlando

[msubulldogs21]

Orlando really pissed that one away, specifically Howard. And seriously, what the hell was Nelson doing behind the 3 point line with 4 seconds to go? THEY'RE DOWN BY 3 IDIOTS! Awful execution by the Magic. They freaking had that game but somehow found a way to lose.

[Dipre]

Howard also showed what a douche he is with the flagrant to Gasol losing by 5 with 3 seconds left.

[Mr Crunchy]

There was an article by an Orlando writer last week that made its way to the Herald which annointed Dwight Howard as the next Bill Russell.

The boy is physically gifted but when all you need to do is sink 1 free throw to tie the series and you then proceed to gag on both of them then you arent the next Bill Russell, youre the next Nick Anderson.

The team missed 7 ft in the 4th quarter, any one of them gives them the game.

Gag job by the Magic of season ending proportions

perhaps these behemoth 7ft 275lb superman can learn to sink free throws in the offseason instead of going to the rap studio and bling shopping.

simply disgraceful, if anyone on this panel had a year to prepare shooting free throws Id bet all of you would be capable of hitting 50% from the stripe,why cant dwight howard make 1 with the entire f***ing season on the line?...cock f*** bitch spermburping heathen motherf***ers make me insane with their lack of the simplest of tasks, making free throws isnt an art, theyre called free for a reason.

Pressure, not everyone can handle it.

 

Also, Shaq anyone?

 

And he has 4 rings.

[Mr Crunchy]

Shaq was the best player in the league and had to be taken out of the game with under 2 minutes on offense because he was a liability..

He also had the luxury of playing with Kobe and Wade, men who can make their own offense and men you dont want to put on the line in crunch time, so hes got 4 rings and all of them deserved.

Bill Wennington and Chuck Nevitt have 5 rings.

Orlandos best option is running their offense thru Howard, hes their biggest mismatch on the floor.

the Oneill teams didnt have to go thru Oneil to win and SanAntone didnt have to go thru Duncan either.

Its the 2nd game in this series that Orlando handed to LA due to their inability to hit layups and free throws, I havent seen such futility in the clutch in the finals ever and we're talking about free throws, not 22 footers that are being contested.

I'm not trying to go around correcting anyone, but Howard doesn't seem like a bad guy, so just to avoid confusion...

He got it called because he got in Gasol's face under the hoop.

I'm not saying he's a bad guy I'm just pissed because he CHOKED when the game was on the line

[yankees228]

*Howard

He got it called because he got in Gasol's face under the hoop.

 

Pietrus is the one got got called for the flagrant foul.

 

EDIT: Just watched the replay. Howard ran down and was trying to restrain Pietrus.

Yeah, I know, I was talking to DipreG.

[CrespoBlows]

*Howard

Looks like Pietrus.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Choke some more Orlando. 3-1 Lakers, should really be the other way around.

[Dipre]

It was called on Pietrus.

 

I simply thought it was called on Howard because Pietrus' foul looked clean to me, but then Howard proceeded to get in Gasol's face.

 

But that's just me.

[CrespoBlows]

This is what happens to teams who allow Amway to sponsor them.

Wait a second. Pietrus ran up behind Gasol on the final play and shoved him hard in the back with two hands. That's a clean foul? Gasol then got in Pietrus' face. Howard came running down and pulled Pietrus away. I think you need to watch the replay that I posted.

[Mr Crunchy]

Dwight Howards inability to hit a single free throw in game 4 ended the season for orlando.

a couple of gag jobs in game 2 and 8 missed free throws in game 4 gave this series to the lakers.

Bryant played unreal and Gasol showed up too but Orlando blew 2 chances to make this an eventful series so f*** them and f*** that idiot writer in Orlando who proclaimed Dwight Howard as the next Bill Russell.
