Magic center Dwight Howard openly questioned the decisions of coach Stan Van Gundy after Tuesday night's Game 5 loss to the Celtics.

"Offensively I have to get the ball," Howard said after the 92-88 loss. "I don't think you are going to win a lot of games when your post player only gets 10 shots. It's tough to get yourself going and get a lot of touches without a lot of shots. We have to do a better job with that."

Howard tried to phrase his comments carefully, as to not throw anyone under the bus, but his feelings were obvious.

"I'm not going to get up here and bash or say anything about what should happen, but I will say it's tough to win when all season long you play inside-out and you trust one of the people who got you off to a good season," Howard said. "I think I'm capable of scoring in the post, but I don't think 10 shots is enough.

"You've got a dominant player, let him be dominant."

Howard went 5-for-10 from the field and had 12 points and 17 rebounds in the loss.
