Did not say anything about Howard playing to the buzzer. I did say and make a strong inference that Gard gets on a slippery slope when his team is up 14 and he's calling a time out with seconds to go. That is a bad look, and is subject to the wrong interpretation, which is exactly what happened. Howard did not evidently sit there and think, "Oh, he's trying to coach his team." He sat there and fumed about yet another time out call with seconds to play. Gard needed to be a bit more mindful of how that might be interpreted by the opponent. Howard will bee lucky he keeps his job. I made that clear also.
