I tried to throw up a post earlier, but Dwight Howard blocked it.

Seriously, I’ve seen firewalls that don’t block as much as Dwight Howard. I don’t think Rasho Nesterovic is ever going to attempt another shot. I really feel bad for the guy. Heck, I was hundreds of miles away and I watched the second half with my hands over my eyes.

This afternoon, the Magic took game 1 in their series against the Raptors The final score was 114 – 110 and D-Ho was absolutely nasty. Howard went for 25 points and 21 rebounds. Twenty and twenty. Good stats for any Spartan.

Oh, then there was the fact that Toronto wouldn’t go inside the 3-point line for fear of drawing Howard’s ire. Howard finished with 5 blocks, numerous shot alterations, and one goal-tend that ended up in the mezanean in Amway Arena.

See, Dwight Howard hates layups, floaters, and mid-range jumpers. The only thing Superman respects are dunks. That’s why he and LeBron are cool. That’s why Tom Chambers and Shawn Kemp have an open invitation to come to dinner at the Howard residence. Most importantly, that’s why the Orlando Magic are dangerous right now.
