Pau Gasol did not play the type of basketball needed for a while, but in games 5 and 6 of the Nugget series he showed the edge. Demanding the ball, being more physical, driving to the hole, he played really really good in the thoose games, and thats why we dominated the Nuggets.
Dwight Howard is a different matchup, im very impressed with him, his post game, his shot making, he has really developed into possiblly the best big man in the game right now.
Phil Jackson is not Mike Brown, there will be no need to double team Howard in the post and leave the open 3's, the type of ball the Magic play launching 3's not going to work.
