Here is the elbow in question...
http://nba.fanhouse.com/2009/04/29/h...ed-for-game-6/
Now normally, I am a very rules oriented person, break the rules, prepare for the consequences, however, I did not agree that Amare Stoudemire should have been suspended for leaving the bench(spurs vs suns) and I do not agree should Dwight Howard be suspended for game 6.
Did he throw an elbow during a game? Yes. Did he get a technical? Yes. Should he have been ejected? I don't think so.
I will say, I do not agree with Jeff Van Gundy on Mike and Mike this morning, stating that Howard should not be suspended b/c he is a superstar and the fans want to see the best players and that he feels the Sixers team is taking unfair liberties with their contact on Howard before and after fouls (I guess he is not familiar with 1998-2000 Knicks playoff games)
