20 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks a game. That's what Dwight Howard is doing this year, and while that doesn't compare to the likes of what LeBron James or Kobe Bryant are doing this year, he is quietly leading a dangerous team. The Magic are a team that can score with almost anyone. Rashard Lewis is averaging over 19 points a game, while Hedo Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson are at about 17 points a game.
Orlando is 35-10 and for whatever reason, people still think Orlando is a joke. They just came off an 11 point win over Cleveland. In their last 20 games, they have won 17, including blow-outs against San Antonio, New Orleans, and Denver. In their last 20, they also beat the Lakers twice, Cleveland, Miami, and San Antonio twice. I don't know how people are looking at this Magic team, but any way you stack it, that is pretty impressive.
Orlando can score from anywhere on the floor, they have the best center in the league, a point guard that knows how to handle the ball, and two guys who can hit 3's with ease. The Magic should start to gain the respect of everyone around the league, because if they don't, they may just blow past any team come playoff time.
