When they take Howard out of their offense, they make it hard on themselves. Howard doesn't have to score all the time but has to at least get the ball and draw the double and kick it out to get the guys better shots. Also, he draws a lot of fouls and gets guys in foul trouble and gets his team in the penalty earlier. I don't think he's a dominant offensive player but he's their dominant inside player and he's got to get the ball.
Lewis still hasn't created his own shot. Only scores when he has open jumpers or maybe gets a mismatch with a smaller man on the post and he can just turn and shoot. He cannot create anything off the dribble at all.
