Dwight Howard Suspended For Game 6
The Orlando Magic will be without two starters in their next playoff game after the NBA announced Wednesday that Dwight Howard has been suspended for Thursday night's Game 6 in Philadelphia.
Howard received a one-game ban for an elbow he swung at the head of 76ers center Samuel Dalembert in Tuesday's Game 5, and like teammate Courtney Lee -- who was later felled by an unintentional Howard hit -- will be absent when the 76ers try to force a Game 7 in the teams' tight first-round series.

This is perfect for the Celtics, because if the Sixers can lock up the series 3-3 without Howard, this series will be up in the air for game 7. I believe the Celtics will have an easier time defeating the Sixers than the Magic, so that was a big mistake by Howard. Do I personally agree with the decision of Howard being suspended, No. But will I take it. Yes.
