Josh Howard Takes DNP Due To Hangover
Smooth
Josh Howard’s lack of production and past infractions may have set things in motion long ago, but the inciting moment that may have led to Howard’s ticket out of Dallas seems to be a DNP-due to hangover.
Several Maverick sources said Howard had a long night of partying on January 19, the night after the Mavericks had won in Boston and less than 24 hours before playing the Washington Wizards. The team officially said he missed the game against Washington on Jan. 20 with a stomach illness. But team officials said that it was a self-inflicted game off.
It certainly be the first time that Howard partying has drawn criticism as his notorious 2008 birthday party that he threw during a playoff series in which the Mavs were getting creamed by the New Orleans Hornets drew the fire from then-coach Avery Johnson and Mavs’ management. Oh, and then there the YouTube video about the national anthem. And the drag racing. And the admission of marijuana use.
Avery Johnson Gets His Hands On The Lombardi Trophy
Former San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, who was born and raised in New Orleans, managed to get his hands on the Vince Lombardi trophy as Saints head coach Sean Payton worked his way back to the locker room.
There’s no question about it Payton surely couldn’t have done it without the Little General.
