Dwight Howard has size to expose Knicks' lack of... →
Stoudemire’s quickness usually compensates for the Knicks’ lack of size, but it didn’t against Ilgauskas. That could pose a problem Thursday night against the Magic’s Dwight Howard, who is considerably younger, stronger and more athletic than Ilgauskas.
“He’s definitely a physical specimen down in the post,” Stoudemire said of Howard. “He’s...

Orlando Magic: Orlando Magic beat Cleveland... →
Perhaps no team in the NBA relies on a single person as much as the Orlando Magic rely on their superstar center, Dwight Howard.
No wonder the fourth quarter of Tuesday night’s game at Quicken Loans Arena seemed so strange.
The Magic entered the final period clinging to a one-point lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Howard sitting on the bench to rest and avoid a fifth personal...

“We found out what the problem was tonight,” Howard said later. “I was!…
…It takes a team to win. When guys step up and play big, like tonight, it just makes our team a lot stronger, and we gain a lot more trust in the guys that usually don’t get a lot of minutes.”

“Now I’m getting looked at like Rasheed Wallace on technical fouls,” Howard said. “I love Rasheed, he’s a great guy, but he is known for getting technical fouls. I guess now you can put me up there with Rasheed as the NBA bad guy/good guy.”

Magic rallies to end Celtics' streak, 86-78 →
Dwight Howard raised the toughness issue with teammates in late September, even before the Orlando Magic held its first training-camp practice. Howard told his coaches and fellow players during a meeting that he wanted everyone to be tougher than they were in their Eastern Conference finals loss to the Boston Celtics in May.
Coach Stan Van Gundy remembered those words and, on Christmas Day, he...

Stan Van Gundy explains his chest bump with Dwight Howard
With 9:21 in the second quarter Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks, Hedo Turkoglu sank a three-pointer to punctuate a 17-2 Orlando Magic run.

In three games since the Orlando Magic traded starters Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis for Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Gilbert Arenas, Dwight Howard has averaged 23.6 points and 21.0 rebounds. That includes two 26-point games and at least 20 bounds in each game (26 points, 23 boards last night). Working the glass like that isn’t anything new for the big fella, but has the big trade...

The league's best center, Dwight Howard, leads... →
The center of the NBA: If you were starting an NBA team and could take any player at each position, you might ponder for days which point guard and power forward to go with. Maybe you’d automatically go with LeBron James as your small forward and debate whether to go with Kobe Bryant or a younger Dwyane Wade at shooting guard.
But there shouldn’t be any debate on your center.
