So the Celtics just knocked off the NBA's fiercest team. So what? Dwight Howard isn't scared.
According to Boston.com, the Magic center and Defensive Player of the Year said that if all goes the way it should, Orlando should be able to take care of Boston in the Eastern Conference finals.
"If we come out and play the way we played in the first two series, we should win this one," Howard told the Web site.
The Magic have gone 8-0 in the postseason thus far, easily disposing of Charlotte and Atlanta — the latter of which they beat by an average of 25 points per game.
No one's saying Boston won't put up a fight — but it's a fight that doesn't scare Howard at all.
"They're playing great basketball right now," he said. "They're playing with a lot of confidence. And I think for us, if we want to win this series, we have to do all the things we did in the first two series. And if we do that, we should win. We should win this series, but we all have to believe that and we have to understand that it's not going to be easy."
