Dwight Howard has been arguably the biggest ex-factor for the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. The reserve big man saw a total of five minutes in the second round against the Houston Rockets, but with the Denver Nuggets revolving around Nicola Joaquin, Howard only played a big part in trying to limit the All-NBA center, but was able to do everything possible. Get on his head.
Hawkard’s energy and physique are huge for the Lakers, but at the time of the series he seems to be moving away from his actions. But his attempts to push the jockey have not only failed, as he has not only talked to him about the trash, but Howard has also been constantly abusing officers.
In the game, however, the referees apparently had anti-Howard items. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Game, officials warned Howard following a second-quarter comment:
Jeremy Grant, who finished with 26 points, was on the free throw line in the middle of the second period, and made an obscene comment in the direction of Howard officials. It was obviously so close that official Mark Davis shouted, “Hey, cut it now! Are you serious I’ve heard it twice now. twice. Cut it out now! Howard walked away with a stern warning, but he was obviously annoyed.
There is a very thin line for Howard in this series and he is in danger of crossing it. The Lakers need his physique and strength, and he has been an important part of the team’s success in this series, but Howard can’t afford to go overboard.
These days, most players constantly talk to officials and complain about the call and it seems like no one has ever believed they did anything wrong. It’s one thing to talk to officials, but if Howard comments to them this way, he’ll need to rule out because his positive influence can quickly turn negative.
Jock Howard is not worried about matchup
Howard vs. Jockey has been one of the most watched matchups in the entire series as the Lakers big man has done everything in his power to throw the Nuggets star out of his game. At the time, Joachim clearly seemed frustrated, but insisted he was not disturbed by Howard’s actions.
“He’s a big guy, he knows his role, he’s doing it really well,” Jockey said. “But it’s not just me, it’s the Nuggets against the Lakers. To be honest, I don’t think about it. Whatever is there, I will try to beat it, try to win the game. That’s what it is. Again, I say it’s not just against them, it’s nuggets against the Lakers. “
