Well, there was no visible discomfort in Game 2, looks like Howard's Elbow was a hoax afterall. The elbow even tried to take the spotlight of the game by going after the Captain, Pierce, and effectively took him to the floor.
That Pierce actually survived the shot, some can make the case that the elbow is a bit tender at the moment... Obviously, Pierce isn't that tough, I mean he's just an actress who cries on the floor because a numb neck/shoulder.
Anyways, there's still chance that Howard's Elbow issues might return, I mean, LeBron punk'd everyone on Game 3 in the last round... so you never know.
Still, the effects are still being felt in other areas of the Magic's team. Lewis still seems sick and Carter slipped in a suspect and mysterious manner, injuring his wrist which led to him missing free-throws at the end of the game.
One thing is for sure, we can't underestimate Howard's Elbow... I'm surprised ESPN still hasn't picked up on it.
