NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

If you don't think it's Dwight Howard, sorry. You haven't been paying attention. The Magic's fourth-year center has become a top six player (who else besides Kobe, LeBron, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki would you rather have?). Howard's been a sight to behold, and not only because of those shoulders that look like football helmets minus the facemask. He is dominating with averages of 22 points and 14.2 rebounds.

In the Magic's victory over the Celtics Sunday night, Garnett thought he had an easy two when he shot a jump hook over Rashard Lewis, but could only watch when Howard came from the weak side and swatted away the shot. A few minutes later, Howard rejected a drive by Paul Pierce. Later, Howad hit a 20-foot turnaround jumper from the corner --- this is a guy who has had trouble making anything more than a two-footer in past years. He's still making only 63 percent of his free throws, which is better than last year but not as good as he'll be shooting this time next year. Unlike Shaquille O'Neal and other bricklayers, Howard has a decent touch from the line. Improved free throws will prevent teams such as the Celtics from hacking Howard every time he gets near the ball.
