If there's an easy road to the NBA Finals, Dwight Howard doesn't want it. The Orlando Magic superstar wants the path of most resistance.

So bring on the Pistons.

Howard doesn't want to see Chicago, Philadelphia or Miami in the first round of the playoffs. He wants Detroit, which has won eight of nine games in eliminating the Magic from the playoffs the past two years.

"Hopefully, we play Detroit again,'' Howard said earlier this week. "That'll be good for us because we have to get over that mental hump. Those guys have beaten us two years in a row and they've left a bad taste in our mouths. So hopefully this year, it'll be different.''

Chris Broussard of ESPN.com has the story.

Agreed with some of you peeps, I like Dwight Howard's attitude.

I'm the other guy at Third Quarter Collapse, with a Twitter account.
