Josh Howard's BDay bash had Mavs too hungover for Monday practice

The Mavericks were eliminated from the playoffs last night, and Avery Johnson was fired as head coach by owner Mark Cuban. The big story coming out of Dallas today though was that forward Josh Howard (who sucked throughout the series) threw a birthday bash on Sunday night after the Mavs' Game 4 loss. After instructing his players not to party during the playoffs, duh, Johnson was infuriated by his team and canceled practice. Howard, you should be ashamed of yourself. You've just made two gross errors in off the court conduct within the past week. Admitting to smoking pot and throwing a bash during the playoffs is a sure-fire way to get your ass traded.
