If the Jazz's biggest worry is stopping Dwight Howard, they should roll through this (hypothetical) series. Since when did Howard become Duncan in the post? He is still relatively raw on offense. He does quite well with what he's capable of, but he's not going to dominate anyone. As long as you deny him good position, he's a non-factor.

lol. You are so wrong. He's dominated EVERYONE thats tried to play him 1 on 1 this year, including Big Ben, KG, and Emeka. Why do you think he always gets double teamed?

He's nowhere near Duncan skill-wise, but he is much more athletic.

Carlos Boozer get's doubled team quite a bit, including tonight. He passed out of double teams and made good passes to open players to get 7 assists tonight, and he still got 24 points.

Magic in 6.

Howard, Darko and Battie shut down the paint, while the Magic's depth proves to much for the Jazz.

Utah would run them off the floor. Magic are too young and not talented enough in comparison.

Not talented enough? How do you come to that conclusion, considering they have already beat down the Jazz on their homecourt and until tonight were tied for the best record in the NBA (Jazz won so they are now a half game up on the Magic)?

You're expecting too much out of these posters.

Lots of reasons.

1. A perimeter oriented team

2. Poor post entry passes

3. Little point guards who look for their shot a little too much and constantly miss Dwight on pick/rolls and slip screens. (sometimes because they are not big enough to see over defenders coming out on the pick/roll)
