Dwight Howard's teammates need to stop making the Atlanta Hawks look like five Bill Russell clones if the Magic want to avoid a second loss at home, but it's nice to know you have the three-time defensive player of the year behind you. But is a great defensive center the most valuable defensive presence in sports? Will the Magic win their series?

• "Dwight deserved this award, nobody was even close as far as I'm concered. But, when I look at his stats, I just can't help but think how Ben Wallace really dominated on D for 4 years. He could barely average 8 points a game, but his rebounding, block, AND steal averages where some of the best I've seen from a center. Dwight, you rock, but Ben, you were the greatest." -- SN commenter MontezATL
