Superman is proudly wearing his cape again. If not for Howard, the Magic would be in a heap of trouble. If they can avoid fouling out all 3 centers, they should continue to make Howard beat them until late in the 2nd half before clamping down. When they take him away, the other Magic players will be ice cold.
Yeah, after the way this has played, can anyone blame Howard if he leaves? That first quarter was a disgrace for every other Magic.
he will NOT stay in orlando you can mark that down. like i said, morey needs to start putting in work the moment orlando gets eliminated from the playoffs. hustle immediately
People, we witnessed history in the 1st half. I know the Hawks lead by 7 and Howard's teammates were pathetic, but 31 points on 15 shots with 7 rebounds IN ONE HALF? Yes, part of it was the Hawks strategy. But Howard still had to deliver the goods, including 9/11 from the line. The Hawks should continue the strategy in the 2nd half until late in the game. If they keep a good lead (which means they keep scoring), no reason to change. I imagine Orlando's defense will improve in the 2nd half. Jameer Nelson should be ashamed of himself. I'm sure SVG will make it a point to get him off to a good start in the 3rd quarter. The Hawks should make it a point to keep him bottled up. Same points apply to both sides for J-Rich and Hedo.
this is why i dont' blame those superstars who throw their teammates under the damn bus. howard's teammates, esp nelson, needs to be thrown under 2 buses for their first half. secondly, dwight would not be able to do this in previous years. you dare him to score, half of the time he wouldn't be able to dominate. this year, he can. this guy is a legit superstar right now. he's arguably the best player in the game along with lebron james.
