What a difference 365 days make. Last season Orlando swept away Atlanta in blowout fashion, during their 2nd round playoff series. Fast forward to 2011, the teams met again, this time in round one. Atlanta advanced to round two after defeated Orlando 4-2. Dwight Howard has one year remaining on his contract. Howard is the 3 time NBA Defensive Player Of The Year. Many rumors are swirling in the Magic Kingdom. So many people want to know will Howard stay or will he go. Orlando had this same situation in 1996, when franchise center Shaquille O'Neal left town as a free agent for the Lakers. Currently Los Angeles is a rumored team for Superman as well. Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Al Horford, Josh Smith and the Hawks supporting cast clearly outplayed Howard's suppporting cast. Orlando won the East and made the NBA Finals in 2009, over the past two seasons, the Magic have lost in the East Finals and East 1st round. Only Dwight Howard knows the decision he will eventually make to stay or go.
