If he doesn’t get T‘’Ed there he’s in Harrell’s head and likely holds him down.
They had been going at it pretty hard and supposedly during the time out Howard went out of his way to bump Harrell.
The TNT guys blow. They never said anything when Howard and Harrell were both given double techs a few minutes earlier. I think they were telling some stupid story nobody wanted to hear. But anyway, that’s why he was ejected. It was his second.
Great energy guy off the bench....saw the G-League final.
Howard needs to calm down.....if it happened Harrell would curb stomp him.
I think they blew like 9! Sixers had 6 and the Lakers had 3. Ill also say that the tech they blew on Schroeder was bull shit too. Chris Weber had a good comment at the half about Dwight. People don’t follow the NBA and pay money for seats to watch officials.
Kid has some promise. But even bigger, I can now actually think about Sixers 2nd round picks as having some potential. Another guy who can’t get minutes that also shows some potential is Isiah Joe. I think he should have been with Reed. Sitting on the pine doesn’t help grow a player’s game.
Harrell had 6 points going into the 4th Quarter. Howard knew what he was doing but he crossed the line going to the TV time out. He was in Harrell’s head and took him out of his game. Without Howard on the floor he had a big 4th quarter. I think he finished with 20+.
Pretty clear that he still likes those rims and the shooters eye in LA. Hope it holds on Saturday night. Sixers have caught a break considering No Embiid. No Steph vs Warriors and no LeBron or AD vs Lakers.
The first exchange was a double. So I’m thinking you’re talking about the one headed into the TV time out. Right or wrong, I think the official just T’ed Dwight because of the weird path he was taking to the Sixers bench. The bench was on the same side of the court where the action was but Dwight takes a path heading to half court away from the Sixers bench in order to get there. We also don’t know what was said after the first tech. I can imagine the official said something to the effect of next time, you’re gone. After an official says something like that, they’re a bitch if they don’t follow through. If it’s me though, and I’m an official communicating that message and gather both coaches and Harrell and Howard and I make a public pronouncement that this is the end of the bull shit. Then the coaches become the officials ally on the desire to get control of the game.
Man, this season feels night and day different from Brett Brown days. Doc is taking lemons and making lemonade. During Embiid’s absence we’ve seen Shake’s game improve, Danny Green step up and Harris become more confident closing. All of these things are stuff they needed anyway. Hopefully the growth translates to when Embiid comes back. I have to temper my excitement though because regular season and playoff basketball are entirely different.
