By Bobby Lewis Shaquille O'Neal Traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers: When this move was first made, I loved it.The Cavs were one of the best teams in the league but Orlando was a horrible match-up for them because they didn't have any front court players who could hang with Dwight Howard. 2010 NBA Finals

Derrick Rose (G), Kevin Durant (F), Amar’e Stoudemire (C), and Brandon Roy (G) are also near locks to make the squad. 

By Corey Taylor The greatest asset a 18-year-old can have is being able to be coached. If you think about it like this, he would have just graduated high school here. No one is crowning Rubio as being as good as Dwight Howard and LeBron James, but at 18, you have a chance to mold him into a great player.

By TheBigLead Orlando 95, LA Clippers 88: Zach Randolph, who really hasn’t played any defense for his entire career, simply attempted to tackle Dwight Howard in the fourth quarter (this after a Marcus Camby elbow in the first quarter sent Howard to the locker room for stiches). Didn’t work. Howard score...

By David Friedman Dwight Howard is becoming perhaps the dominant low post force in the NBA and that is a big reason that Orlando has an NBA-best 9-1 road record after a 110-94 win in Seattle. Howard scored a career-high 39 points and controlled the paint at both ends of the court with 16 rebounds and five blocked shots. Hedo Turkoglu also had a double double (15 points, 10 rebounds), helping Orlando to overcome a subpar game by Rashard Lewis, who shot just 3-19 from the field in his return to the city where he started his NBA career; he finished with nine points and 10 rebounds. Starting point guard Jameer Nelson (six points, three assists, five rebounds) and his backup Carlos Arroyo (two points, a career-high 14 assists) each played exactly 24 minutes, with Arro...   [read the full post]

I like Kevin Durant, but Dwight Howard is exhibit No. 1 why the NBA places a premium value on centers and why the Durant-Greg Oden debate was never much of a debate in my mind. When you have a chance to take a dominant center, you always take the dominant center. Sure there's a chance Oden will turn...

10 -- The number of 3-pointers Orlando made, as Seattle failed to bother the Magic perimeter scorers. Orlando’s Dwight Howard also had something to do with that, as Seattle had to double him inside. Howard finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds, his 13th straight double-double dating bac...
