Like the Chuckster said at halftime, it looks like the Magic were content with the split - they're mailing it in so far tonight. Their defense sucks and Dwight Howard has been MIA at that end of the court. Kendrick Perkins is leading all scorers and pretty much everybody who's seen action for Boston had got at least one wide open layup in the halfcourt set. When Eddie House is scoring at the rim, you're in deep shit. All this is happening with Paul Pierce spending half the game on the bench with foul trouble, too.
Dwight Howard is a very good player. He will not be a great (MVP caliber) player until the following two things happen: He needs to make teams pay for fouling him and he needs a team around him that will get him the damn ball. The Magic take way too many jumpers without even giving him a touch. The Orlando gameplan seems to be like having Adrian Peterson at RB, but dropping back to pass on every first down to set up the run. They need to figure out which side their bread is buttered on.
