I'm not afraid of miami. we swept them in the regular season and they can't close games. orlando however has size we can't really match.

How can we not match 6'11 dwight howard when we have four 7 footers?

We don't even have 3 healthy 7 footers right now. Not to mention that you certainly don't one of the two healthy guys playing extended minutes in man to man against D-Howard (KG).

I can certainly understand the concern.

But we will have at least 3 healthy 7 footers by the time the playoffs come around. Shaq already said he would play if it were the playoffs. He is fine, we're saving him for the run.

We can handle D-Howard and the Magic, he is no Hakeem Olajuwon on the offensive end, but he is a defensive force. Howard can score 50points for all I care we know we can't match up against him but we are better in every other area than the Magic.

Our bench is deeper too.

Howard can't beat you by himself. Let him get his points and shut down their shooters. Something the C's really have no problem doing.

Howard will be worn down by the 2nd round anyways. He's playing 40+ minutes a night because he has no backup.
