I don't see it being much of a concern. They're not logging any more minutes than they have done in the past years

And when was the last time Allen, Garnett, or Pierce sniffed the playoffs?

And? I see no reason to believe they won't be playing well come the playoffs barring injury

5 years ago I would have said Yao Ming without question. Nowadays, I'd take Howard in a heartbeat. The NBA is returning back to the Showtime era of basketball, Howard is more effective.

That just shows you how good he is! I would've picked Howard when he was 14!

wouldn't a better question be.... amare or dwight? that is... assuming amare is healthy. i'd still pick dwight, becuz he's a vicious rebounder.
