SUPERMAN? Dwight Howard Was More Like NOTQUITEGOODENOUGHMAN
16 points, 21 rebounds and 9 blocks is certainly impressive, but the two free throws Dwight Howard missed with 11 seconds left in the game and Orlando up by three points will likely never be forgotten. Howard simply has to hit one in that situation!
Man of steel? Howard was more like the Man of Iron for clanking free throw after free throw off the rim during Game 4 (thanks to JDub for that one). Shooting 6-14 from the charity stripe during a pivotal game just isn't going to cut it. Howard has made great strides this year, but he is going to have to spend a lot more time practicing his free throws during the off-season...

I love that the media "experts" are now talking about the things the Lakers did right to win in Game 4, and the things the Magic need to correct in Game 5 to keep the series alive. It's all bunk! The Magic outplayed the Lakers in Game 4. All Howard needed to do was make one of two free throws with 11 seconds remaining to make it a 2 possession game. Instead, Howard misses both(!), DFish hits a trey, and they go to OT. What the "experts" SHOULD be talking about is how the Magic need to do the exact same thing in Game 5, and hope the Man of Iron can sink something.

I hear you. They need to do "almost" the exact same thing...I'll be writing a short post about that in a few minutes.
Do you realize the Magic could easily be up 3-1 in the series right now? They got nearly all the breaks last night and couldn't seal the deal & Courtney Lee's layup/oop in Game 2 probably goes in four out of ten times (even with a 7'0" center closing in on him). If Gasol isn't there then Lee makes that somewhat difficult shot eight out of ten times.
