Dwight Howard could laugh about his temporary change of nicknames, from the Superman moniker he loves to the "Foul On You'' tag he was playfully given by his teammates a few days ago.
It might not be a joking matter in the next series.
The Magic completed a first-round sweep of the Charlotte Bobcats Monday night, doing it with a glaring absence of Howard, who went from franchise center to franchise foul throughout the series.
It was the first time in history the Magic ever have swept a playoff opponent in a seven-game series, but they strangely did it without the dominance they have come to expect from Howard.

They should get plenty of rest before meeting the winner of the Milwaukee and Atlanta series, which is tied at two. Neither of those teams, though, will be as forgiving if Howard doesn't rediscover the game that made him a Most Valuable Player candidate during the regular season.
