ORLANDO -- Quick, name one other team that can come back from 15 down in the second half in a road playoff game without its best player.

You can't.

...

Meanwhile, the Pistons' defense showed us one of Superman's rarely used powers:

Invisibility.

Howard was totally ineffective, failing to make a field goal after the first quarter and finishing 3-for-12 from the floor with eight points.

As far as teams that would be able to come back against the Magic on the road without their best player...

That is an interesting question.

On any team where the best player is a big, that would be a problem b/c of Howard. That eliminates Boston (KG), the Spurs (Duncan), Memphis (Darko) and many others.

If you took Lebron away from the Cavs, no chance. Kobe away from LA, not gonna happen.

So, after some serious thought, I think he is right about our unique ability to grow limbs. We're like a salamander.
