Dwight Howard 46 pts 19 rebs, but Magic lose to Hawks in Round 1, game 1

[Bigsmoke]

No. Not Rose

and not howard.

if anything, the Magic are losing because they are relying too much on Howard.

[Colby Brian]

hope he gets 40

dwight howard has 5 fouls and 8 turn overs in a playoff game. Not MVP material

I know... 40 points on 14-21 shooting with 16 rebounds, and still some five minutes left. What a "flop."

and his team is loosing by double digits, wonder if his 8 TO or 5 fouls had anythign to do with that....

classic stat-monger.

This is why i didnt consider him for MVP. Rose is a winner Howard can put up as many points and rebounds as he wants but he doesnt have "it". He doesn't impact the game like a Rose or Kobe

what he said. Dwight will never win a championship without a superstar playing with him. Just like every other superstar center that has ever played

Yep... 46 points on 70% shooting, with 19 rebounds, in 46 minutes, ...while his teammates shot 35% and collectively had 21 rebounds.

I said it earlier in this post...Van Gundy should have benched him and his -10 for Ryan Anderson's ZERO points, but +9 production.

After that "stats-mongering' performance, I think Van Gundy will probably cut Howard before the next game.

or mabye anyone on his team not named Nelson had to do with it....

Yet Dwight has led a team to the finals, led two teams to the conference finals and won over 50 games 4 consecutive seasons. But yeah....the guy is a loser. Rose can only dream of impacting a game like Dwight. Rose has a great defense backing him and a great rebounding team while Dwight IS his team's defense and carries the rebounding load while still averaging about 10 more ppg than anyone else on his team.

Yep...give me a career winner like Joe Johnson any day of the week.

[STATUTORY]

and I suspect all the other teams do too. Let Dwight beat you, shut down the outside shooters. that's the way to beat the Magic. 6-22 on three pointers, that's an automatic loss for Orlando.

[Kobe24Clutch]

Its official Dwight is going to the lakers.

[Ikill]

Its official Dwight is going to the lakers.

[Bigsmoke]
