    Howard went for 16 ppg, 17 rpg, and 2.8 bpg against Boston, including a 20-20 game in a must win game 6. He did just fine.

    With the way people bring up that series you would think Howard went for 3 ppg, 5 rpg, and 0.2 bpg.

    Hey, Yao said to get him a Ultimate Cheesburger Combo with curly fries and a fanta strawberry. He also said to park the LX 470 next to the Tahoe. Also in the morning, make sure to take both to the car wash.

    LMAO

    Post players tend to play post defense.

    What you're saying is that Yao's an elite post defender and Dwight is a sub-par post defender even though Dwight was the DPOY at the center position and led the league in blocked shots. You've just seriously said that and tried to defend it with this weird "general defense" comment.

    You've failed miserably.

    Hey R. Lewis led his team to the final, he must be the best PF in the NBA.

    Camby was a DPOY and blocked the most shots, but K-Mart have to defend all the post player, because he didn't have the strength to hold them up.

    So what is your point?

    You seem to not give credit were it's due.

    Howard is the best center in the NBA and Yao can't do anything to change that unless the NBA enforces a non fronting rule.

    Perkins bothered him but he still managed to put on some very nice numbers.

    Everyone here keeps clinging on how Yao owns DH12 every time they play, which is partially true but I don't know about you but I would take a trip to the finals above dominance over a single player.

    And the sad thing is, i bet Yao doesn't even think of it that way, YOU people make this simple debate into something HUGE.

    A 23 year old Dwight Howard just went for 40 points, 14 boards, and 4 assists against the team with the best record in basketball to clinch the Eastern Conference Finals and you still disrespect the man.

    Don't believe your lying eyes apparently.

    Excellent point. Dwight Howard doesn't have the strength to play post defense.

    Coming from a T-Mac fan, I don't care. You have bad taste in players. You actually just help Yao in this argument.

    Nice job destroying him.

    Ok...You still fail. Just because your favorite team is the Orlando Magic doesn't mean you get to Lie as well.

    Try watching the game, instead of riding Hollinger.

    Wait and see how Dwight fares against the Lakers before annointing him the best center in the league. He needs to win at least 1 game against them before he can claim the title.

    So all he has to do is beat the Lakers once, and he gets the title?

    Did Howard bought the team?

    BTW Rashard is one of the biggest reason they went to the finals, the guy is match up nightmare for any team.

    Without Rashard they don't get past Boston, more so with DH missing a game, and he is shooting 50 and 50 in the Conference final.

    Is not like Lebron, who is clear he only reason the Cav are what they are. Is debatable who is main reason in Magic success.

    Magic are who they are because of their 3 point shooting. They are the best 3 point shooting team on the NBA and Dwight is the beneficiary of it.

    You can't call his team when you can't run the offense through him.

    He made it past the conference final without a broken leg I think he already earned that title.

    Howard just put a nail in the coffin of the best center in the NBA debate.
