Dwight Howard has had a great season in his return to Los Angeles. The Lakers are taking on the Mavericks Friday night and an early story from the game is a bad foul call. Howard was simply doing his job and boxing out when Maxi Kleber showed off his acting skills with a well-timed flop and earned a flagrant foul call.

That is more than a weak call. It is a wrong one and make one question whether Howard is allowed to fight for any rebound ever. Hopefully the refs lay off the whistle a bit and let the game be competitive without getting involved. Props to Kleber for selling the call, but this is truly disgraceful from the officials.
