Dwight Howard is out for game 6

Dwight Howard has been suspended for game 6 in Orlando's series against Philadelphia for an elbow hit on Samual Dalembert in game 5. This gives Philly a major advantage to forcing a game 7 in Orlando.

Advantage Phily big time. The suspension is justified. I like Howard but that was a very dumb move!

Dude, that was a stupid move on Howards behalf. So much on the line, he screwed his own team. Suspension was jutified for sure and really gives the 6ers an advantage they need to capitalize on.

According to the way the rule reads, any contact with an elbow above the shoulders is subject to a suspension.

Howard clearly nailed Dalembert in the head, so this was the correct call as well as bad timing on his part.

It didn't matter as Orlando came out hungry and easily got past Phily to advance.
