Josh Howard Injury Thread

[TucsonDevil]

What is his status. I heard Avery mention that he will be fine - however, that looked like it wasn't anything minor. Anyone hear an update?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I hope he is okay. We are the last team to be wishing injuries on anyone.

 

[dirk41]

Confirmed: It was just a tweak. He is fine.

 

[Nasser22]

I hope he's fine but the evil person in me is smiling because of how much bad luck we have had. I really like Howard though, but since it's not career threatening I don't fell bad about it at all. He should be playing in the next game though.

I have to admit I was feeling the same way when he went down. I told my friends that I never wished people on the other teams to have injuries, but I did think it would make things a little more fair.

he was doubtful in game 2 and he played fine. im sure he'll be ok again. he walked off the court, which is always a good sign

I don't believe in wishing injuries on players or celebrating injuries on the opposing team. I know your coach thinks otherwise.
It's just not cool.

Congrats on your win. You were the better team tonight.

HUH??? Did I miss something?

 

[devilfan02]

IMO, he was just acting. At the time when he went down, the Mavs were down huge and weren't coming back. Plus, he might have felt a little embarrassed by falling like that and/or didn't want to hustle back cause the game was out of reach. The replay shows that he didn't do much to his left ankle. His ankle looked to be fine but his ego may have been bruised

What does that mean? You think D'Antoni wishes injury on the Mavs or anyone else? Are you sane?

 

[Nasser22]

Our coach doesen't think otherwise...I don't know why you Mavericks fans can't understand that he was just joking in the interview.

Where'd that come from?

 

[Nasser22]

This is the comment that guy is probably talking about... I had a little waste of time discussion with some other Mavs fans who thought he was serious.

"That helps," he said. "If (Dirk) Nowitzki would get sick, that'd be even better."



D'Antoni on Josh Howard's injury.

 

[SunsTzu]

After game 1 D'Antoni said it'd be to the Suns benefit if Howard couldn't play. Coaches care about winning more than anything, if you don't think Avery would be delighted to see Nash on crutches you haven't a clue.

 

[Joe Mama]

That guy should get banned just for being stupid

Go get 'em Chris.

[az1965]

I won't feel sorry for any of the Mavs players getting dinged since we have had more than our fair share.

But, I also think that he probably is faking it to avoid some embarassment.

 

[Folster]

The question posed to D'Antoni should also be taken into consideration. He was probably asked about Josh Howard not playing not about him getting injured.

Well I presonally wouldn't mind if Howard sat out game 5, I think he is by far Dallas' best player.

 

[Nasser22]

I don't think he's close to matching Nowitzki, but he has all-star talent for sure. He is a great player. Congrats on reaching 1,000 posts Treesquid.

Why would you ban someone over such a trivial comment when Suns fans are accusing Howard of faking an injury?
Now THAT would be cause to consider someone as stupid.

So, I assume that Raja faked his injury just so that he could come back and pump his team up at a later period in the series?
Or could I assume that Amare decided to have surgery right before the season so that he could avoid training camp and collect a healthy paycheck without having to break a sweat?

Please, come on.
It goes both ways and its all b.s.

You guys need to get thicker skin or something. The constant banning is so pansy ass.
You don't see that kind of crap on the Mavs boards.

 

[S_Nash]

All I'm sayin'...

Mavs 20-something & 0 when Howard scores 20+

Mavs down by 20 with 5.47 to play and Howard on the court with 16 points.

Everybody loves a good streak. And I know what I would've done in Howard's situation.

"MEDIC!!"

That's absurd!

 

[jibikao]

Good Howard is injured again.

It's about time other teams suffer injuries.

 

[Folster]

The giddiness over injuries is deplorable.

That's funny. Guy gets all salty over D'Antoni making a joke and then says to grow thicker skin. The Mavs were just plain out played. Huge win tonight!
