The Regime Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Magic center Dwight Howard is one technical foul away from an automatic one-game suspension. Orlando has 12 regular-season games remaining. "I would say I might get it," Howard said Sunday. "I'm going to try not to, but chances are my emotions tend to fly. I'm going to try [not to get a tech]. A lot of people have talked to me about it. They call me 'Little Rasheed Wallace' and stuff like that." Howard has amassed 15 technicals this season. NBA rules dictate that players and coaches that receive 16 fouls must miss a game. He'd receive a one-game suspension for every two technicals thereafter. "It's just not something I worry about a whole lot," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It's more than likely going to happen, and then we'll deal with it the game he's out. It's just not anything I spend a whole lot of time on, because I've got no control over it." http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/65495/20100322/dwight_doubts_he_can_avoid_16th_technical/ Edited March 22, 2010 by Confidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Refs don't like Dwight it seems. I hope he can go without getting his 16th, just to prove a point, plus it's good for him to learn that type of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Does this suspension rule still apply in the playoffs? I seriously hope not, some refs throw techs around like they are candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
