Why does Dwight Howard want to leave Orlando?

BOS vs. ORL Preview: Defending against a Half-Nelson

Found December 23, 2007 on MVN:
While the Celtics are yearning for some challenges in their schedule, they likely circled last Wendesday's Detroit game and this Orlando game on the calendar severval weeks ago. Unfortunately, Orlando lost a bit of it mojo, and it's guard play seems to be in a bit of disarray. Look for Rondo take down Nelson in another Celtics blow-out . . .

  • Orlando is a scary team but then so is Boston. Boston is looking for payback in this one so I look for them to come out strong and play well. Should be a good game.

  • Boston Celtics definitely got their payback...but like you said...Orlando is one scary team with all their 3 point shooters...especially the coach!! Just looking at him gave me chills....but the Celtics did a great job!!

  • The Celtics were in control the whole game . . . not only do the Magic have Mr. Inside in Howard and all their 3-point shooters, but I was suprised to see Turkoglo go to the rim as well as he did for a big guy. Turk is having his best year yet, along with Howard of course, and the Magic are taking advantage of it. They really need Nelson to get back on track too, or they are going to lose their division lead quickly . . .
