Hawks magic fight

Why is their go-to move always the head-butt?

I respect Dwight’s game as he is an elite player, but don’t let his smile fool you, he’s one of the whiniest players in the league. He overreacts every time he’s fouled, whines when he doesn’t get a call even though he gets so many tick tack calls for him. Just about every game he cheap shots elbow guys and always gets away with it. Just wait until he catches someone in the eye and seriously injures them. I remember when Dwight came into the league as this "christian missionary" he’s far from those days. Not that I mind because I love his fire but he should not be considered Mr. Clean of the NBA because he’s far from it.

Dwight super intentionally smacked Zaza in the head, and the refs rightfully gave him a T. I understand he gets hit a lot, and fouled, but they called it didn’t they, Dwight? I mean, I do not understand doing that, Zaza was cut up. Richardson was so stupid to interact their as well. I do not think Zaza should have gotten in his face, as it was ridiculous as well, but it definitely costs the Magic more than it costs the Hawks. Zaza played nice D on Dwight and all, but losing J-Rich is a blow for the Magic and the Hawks are definitely in a better place after sealing a 2-1 lead in the series. Dwight Howard needs to keep himself in check, he smiles and seems like a nice guy, but he screwed up on this one, this T was INCREDIBLY inconvenient in a 2 point game. He was smiling and shaking his head, but he nailed the dude in the head and acted like nothing happened. He knew what he did. 

 After watching the replay it looked like J-Rich actually scratched Zaza…… 

Rich didn’t really slap him, he mushed his face

 if your watching the replay, watch joe johnson when the whole fight breaks out… the whole team rushes over, while joe just calmly strolls over and stands in the back haha

 I dont understand why J Rich should be suspended, He took 3 headbuts before he overreacted, Zaza was the guy to do the first blow and Richardson showed a decent amount of restraint until Zaza headbutted him the third time

 dwights a lil b*tch…

he whines to much and throws his elbows to much… its very annoying

Lets show dwight some sympathy; when you are as much of a freakish physical specimen as he is, any subtle movement of his could be enough to knock another guy on their ass. that also applies to when guys are guarding him; they push do everything they can to bother him and they have to use all their power to fight back while dwight only has to stand there. my point is that he has to deal with all kinds of physicality and he cant really ‘give it back’ because he’ll look like a bad guy. not saying its cool to whine but i understand why he does it sometimes. and dwight doesnt get ticky tack fouls either. he hardly ever gets those actually.
