The New Superman Suspended

***BREAKING NEWS*** (Because when News Breaks, we fix it)

Orlando Magic Center/Strong guy Dwight Howard has been suspended for Game 6 of the Magic/Philadelphia 76ers series for throwing elbows. Ok, so he did physically throw his elbow joint, though he did wildly swing his elbows at the 76ers Samuel Dalembert while fighting for a rebound in Tuesday nights game. The Magic by the way won that game 91-78.

Check out video of the incident from NBA.com and the You Tube



Part of the reason Howard has no arguement with this, the league has the right to suspend Howard, who recieved his 2nd technical of the playoffs and his 14th of the season.

The 76ers, for there part are protesting/complaining rather loudly about Howard's physicality. Needless to say, Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy is none to pleased about the complaints and complains about the complaints.

((more thanks Orlando Sentinel for the video))




So now, Game 6 is in Philly and Orlando no longer has the services of its best player. How do you think that's going to work out? Well, there is always game 7

Running Out Of Magic In O-Town

Before the NBA Playoffs began the Orlando Magic really liked the chances to win the NBA championship this season. The team even went so far to talk about it boldly.

Everything looked great for Orlando up by 18 points on the Philadelphia 76ers after 3 quarters but then.... you know what happened.

I doubt the Sixers thought they had the Magic where they wanted heading into the 4th quarter but Philly filled the nets and stole game one of that NBA Playoff series 100-98.

Here's the final few seconds of the game. Thanks NBA/TNT/Youtube.com



Now some post game comments from Dwight Howard. Thanks Orlando Sentinel



And here's a not so happy Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. Thanks Orlando Sentinel.
