So.. the Magic are sick.

D-How for Pres. Three 20-20 games in the series, amazing.

Bring Detroit or Philly on honestly.

Dwight Howard is establishing himself, his energy is ridiculous...

your guarantee means nothing...people guaranteed that Okafor would be the better player...people guaranteed that Dwight would never average 20/10...Dwight Howard is serious business right now....we'll have to see what unfolds...

Okafor isnt that bad of a player. he is on a team that sucks. more too basketball than talent.how teams play to each players strengths is what makes a player seem better and makes teams better overall. detroit on the otherhand used to think they controlled LJ and last year he beat them offensively all by himself for a quarter and overtime.

Putting up 20 and 20 against the Raptors front court isn't that hard. Howard is a strong and intense player with enough skill to score within 8 feet of the basket, but the Raptors simply haven't kept any team off the boards this year. I don't think you'll see that type of performance in a series from Howard again in these playoffs.

Also, the Raptors could not figure out how to stop penetration or kick-outs. Almost every basket they gave up this series was either a dunk, a lay-up, or a deep two/three. The Raptors should be (will be?) undergoing a significant change this off season that starts with TJ Ford going elsewhere.

Detroit's plan was to limit Lebron and don't make others beat you. Boobie Gibson had a huge game in game 6 and was the reason Detroit lost. They forced Lebron to give up the ball, but boobie kept making 3's.

one game is no more important than the other and when you cant stop someone and they have too leave another wide open it means they couldnt defend them as a team. pistons were willing to give that away when in fact after he was making them they should have switched up again on their defense.

Honestly if the Magic wouldn't have beaten Toronto the way they did, they wouldn't look so hot right now. I told you before and will say it again. The Raptors ****! I don't care how good Chris Bosh is nor how they have two talented guards, when really Calderon is the only decent one. Like Pimped said, they have such a soft front line and if you think Bosh or Nestrovic are physical, then lol!

I like Howard as he is a force now and will be in the future. Not gonna take away his talent, but like others have said, they won't do that to Detriot. Philly maybe, but Andre Igwadola is a lot more physical than Bosh and Samuel Dalembert is a much better player than what Tronto had to offer at Center. I mean we will see, but I think if they play Detriot, it will be much, much harder and think D could take them in a long series. I hope the Magic curb stomp them, just don't think they will.
