Why? Let alone people thinking they can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals. They have the best Offensive Rebounder, Defensive Rebounder, and Shot Blocker. And most people thought Sixers would win, just after the first game. They can beat Boston, easily.
Guards:
Lee, Alston, Pietrus
Allen, Rondo, House
Lee is turning into a lock-down defender, who can play Ray Allen pretty well. I’m not saying he can hold Allen to under 10 points or anything, but he sure won’t let him get over 30. Alston is for one, way more experienced than Rondo, two, a way better shooter than Rondo. Rondo goes after most rebounds, as a Point Guard, but Howard would be covering the whole paint. Pietrus is just as good a shooter as House, admit it people. But a better defender, at that. House is obviously a better passer, he is a Point Guard, with Pietrus a Shooting Guard.
Forwards:
Turkuglo, Lewis
Pierce, Davis
Well, Davis would be trying, not the "trying", to defend Dwight Howard, and he won’t even be able to do that. And with attention on Howard, that leaves either Turkuglo or Lewis open, both tremendous 3-Point shooters. Pierce can’t defend both of them. If he tries to, Turkuglo and Lewis would just split up, making either Rondo or Allen defend two guys.
Centers:
Howard
Perkins
Okay. I mean seriously, does Boston have any possibility of stopping Howard. The league’s most athletic Big Man. Top Shot Blocker. Top Rebounder. Defensive Player of the Year. Gets to the line more than anyone else in the NBA. Does Boston have an answer for that? didn’t think so either. Howard could jump right over Perkins head. Perkins would have limited time. Howard is a beast at drawing fouls. He could block Kendrick Perkin’s shot anytime, anyday.
Does it seem pretty good so far? I think so.
Next series would probably be the Cavaliers. Sorry fellow Hawks fans, the odds are Cleveland will win. And I really don’t want to put up, like, 7 possible series.
Guards:
Alston, Lee, Pietrus
West, Williams, Gibson
Our best match-ups, with the starters, are Lee on Williams, an Alston on West. Lee is a better defender, and can, like I said about Ray Allen, hold Mo Williams under big numbers. Alston on West. West is no where near as fast as Alston. Delonte West can get open here and there, as long as he gets good picks. It would be hard times for him in this series. Gibson is probably the best, or tied for the best, shooter in this series. Luckily, our third guard is a good defender. He is taller, and stronger, so all he has to do against Gibson is stay out of foul trouble.
Forwards:
Turkuglo, Lewis
James, Wallace
Oh my god. We have to go against LeBron James. The most likely MVP of the Regular Season. James would probably play Hedo Turkuglo. Like Andre Iguodala did in the first round. Hedo would be shut down =(. And Ben Wallace was, notice the "was", one of the best defenders in the league. He still has a lot of defense in him, but not like he did in 2004, 2005, etc. Lewis pulls up his shot pretty quick when he shoots, and Wallace isn’t that good of a perimeter defender, let alone Rashard Lewis can release the ball faster than Wallace can get off his feet.
Centers:
Howard
Ilgauskas
Well, Ilgauskas has a 4 inch heighth advantage on Howard. Did I mention Howard as the most ahtletic center. I mean, Big Z is a really good defender, but will get shut down on defense, as well as offense, by Dwight Howard. He just isn’t fast enough, can’t jump as high. And now, the Cleveland Cavaliers, are another team who have no answer for Dwight Howard in the paint.
So, why doesn’t anybody think my Magic will make it?

Do you honestly think Perkins, Moore, Davis, or Scalabrine can defend Dwight Howard.
I just want to watch you jump onto a different wagon after the Celts lose.
