Over the course of this series we've seen Flip try a number of different ways of getting at Dwight Howard, the most effective of which is probably Rasheed Wallace. I'm not buying the Theo Ratliff method of stopping Superman, but what do you guys think? I've attached my latest article for HoopsAddict, but I want to open this up to everybody here. You're Flip, what will you do to make sure Games 3 and 4 run better than 2 did.

With all of the public beefing, needless calamity and all-out hullabaloo going on between these two teams in the media following Game 1 and then the tirelessly disputed three-pointer Chauncey Billups nailed at the end of the third quarter in Game 2, it’s hard to take a step back and look at the biggest concern the Detroit Pistons had heading into the series, but that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
Without a doubt - and this really isn’t advanced neuroscience by any means - the Orlando Magic will only go as far as Dwight Howard takes them. Luckily for them, he’s a big guy with lots of room on his shoulders.
Basketball is a team game they say. Not in this case. From where I’m standing it’s pretty hard to believe that Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis could possibly send the much older, deeper and extremely experienced Pistons packing with a fat serving of threes, instead they’re going to have to rely on Howard not just holding his own, but coming out on top in the battle of the paint at least four times out of the next five games.
