Are the Magic better without Howard?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

It sure seems like it.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

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