Dwight Howard picked up his 16th technical foul of the season on Friday during the game between the Magic and Bulls. Howard, due to that technical, will be suspended for Orlando's game against Portland on Monday, if the NBA doesn't rescind it. Howard will also be fined $5,000 and lose 1/110th -- $151,338 -- of his salary. Howard was upset after he grabbed a rebound and was hit in the head by Joakim Noah and then hit in the arm by Kyle Korver. "There's only so much somebody can take," Howard told the Orlando Sentinel. "People grabbing you, holding you, slapping you in the face -- sometimes you're going to retaliate. I've just gotta try not to get so emotional." The Magic are really thin at center and that might force head coach Stan Van Gundy to start Brandon Bass against the Blazers.
