Then explain to me why Howard feels he's fine to play in the All Star game, but not fine to play in games that count to get the team into the playoffs?
If you're hurt, you sit... you sit out the All star game because you're too hurt to play. You don't jump up and say how you feel fine to play in that game, but the regular season you're hurt too badly.
Sounds like bullshit to me.
ok when it comes to the allstar games the big name players have to play, there forced to by the NBA, unless they have a torn acl or a broken leg they will be in the all-star game or be fined/suspended.
the nba is very strict on the allstar game, its how they sell there game to the world.
Joakim Noah, Carmelo anthony are injured and will be required to play.
it was awesome seeing the clippers rout the lakers, and howard smiling at the end hahahahahah
