Are the Magic better without Howard?
Based on tonight's convincing victory over the Sixers, it seems pretty obvious that the Magic are better off without Howard in the lineup. Should the Magic bench him for the remainder of the playoffs?

That's a NO. Dwight Howard, he's one of the best players in the league. Without his toughness, you're pretty much gonna live or die with jump shots after jump shots.

NO
He is The Best Blocker And Rebounder Not only in His Team
But in The Entire LEague
==========
Winning A Game Without The Star Doesnt mean he made the Worse
Example When Durant Did not play with Thunder
They Won Games But That Doeant Mean That They Dont need Them

Magic without a doubt. The reason the Cavs are still in all these series is because of Lebron. Dwight is good too, but the Magic's team is much deeper than the Cavs.

No! Just because they won a game without him doesn't mean they can go it again especially against a better team. Howard is the defensive player of the year and a big force offensively, they need him and they need him to play well.

Not at all. The Magic won because they know their starting center is out and that mentality drove them to play extra harder. That same mentality made the Sixers think that they can win G6 because D12 is out and so they didn't play hard at all.

Well if they face Boston, No because they need him to rebound and guard kendrick perkins and stop rondo's penetration.
But if they face chicago they could i suppose because orlando has a considerable size advantage over the bulls. The one thing they have to worry about is derick rose and ben gordon other than that the magic easily beat them if they play each other.

No way, Howard is the clown at the circus that keeps the magic going.

What up Corey,
Man i always appreciate your sense of humor and sarcasm...
Well if the Celtics win game 7 against the Bulls- we can say that K.G. really makes no difference on their team...LOL...
Keep watching and enjoying the playoffs!

No way!!! The fact that they have done better when he is not scoring and rebounding as much in this series is nothing more than a coincidence.
