I have a feeling this is in regards to Dwight Howard??

The answer is no. Howard is just being a dumbass and making stupid decisions.

Joey Crawford is being a hardass somewhere to make up for it.

I agree to an extent. But he needs to be smarter and realize it. When you have 4 or 5 fouls and you are prone to fouling you are going to get whistled for that next one real quick if you aren't careful. Including when an offensive player pulls your arm into himself lol

No, Howard needs to STOP putting himself in that position EVERYTIME. He goes for the block every time and is often out of position.

Then, he BITCHES every time a foul is called on him.. To top it off, he often blogs about it and gets nicknamed (You foul me).. No wonder the refs give him shit.

Expect Howard to owe some cash at the very least... just been QQing about fouls on twitter or blog or something (saw the quotes on ESPN).

The refs in the Dallas/San Antonio game are horrible too. David Stern needs to do something about this! No point in watching the damn game!

I've seen enough QQing from fans about officials.

It is what it is, can't ever be perfect, there is human error. But people who believe there is some BS going on, just do us all a favor and stop watching rather than just bitching. It's annoying.
