    Yeah Philly is going to keep falling, we really just need to keep an eye out on the Heat,Pacers and Knicks.

    Also besides Paolo and Chet how are the other rookies from Paolo's class doing? Lot of them took a step backwards this year. No Sharpe posts lately........

    I agree a match up with Cleveland would be best. Maybe New York without OG,Mitchell/Hartenstien. But i will not wish for injuries. Milwaukee would be a sneaky good match-up. Nobody can stop Giannis but i bet if the team is fully healthy we could contain everyone else. Dame usually has epic play-off games but he gives up as much as he gets on the other end.

    Without reading every post whoever points out 3 point shooting, the Magic were literally red hot for a month. Blowouts usually happen when a team can't hit a a shot which happens sometimes. Chill out. I also had the game on my phone till the 3rd quarter, turned it off before the 4th. Some games just happen like that, they just didn't have it last night, onto the next game.

    It also mirrors the huge jump the team made in Shaq's second season.

    Can we just wrap Isaac up in bubble wrap and unwrap him for the playoffs?

    We should all be positive, this will be the first winning season for the Magic since the 2018-2019 season. How high we are seeded is important. However, the match-up is all that really matters. What team we play, are we healthy, are they healthy. If we stay healthy you can see with the schedule the Magic should finish a good amount of games over .500. Our seeding depends on the health of the teams above us. Anyone can see the Knicks and Sixers will continue to lose until they get players back on the court. Goal should be sixth seed but could be better.

    Probably not. He is a great shooter but doesn't do much else. If we did get him he is a bench piece because where would he start? He can't defend smaller quicker guards and all our forwards are getting more minutes then him. He is a big slow guard or an undersized forward. Yes he would be good to have right now because he would fill the role that Jett or Caleb Houston should be doing if they had more exp or minutes. But at starter money and that's the problem.

    A trade between our two teams would never happen. Same division. You telling me they gonna trade us Young so he can play against them 4 times a year right when Paolo is entering his prime? If a trade happens the most likely is San Antonio. Different conference and they can send all sorts of goodies back plus the Atlanta's own picks. I could see Portland as well. Portland could decide they don't want to rebuild. They can keep vets like Simons,Ayton,Grant and add Trae to the mix. Young might finally unlock Aytons potential. Grant is a solid vet and Simons is a bucket. All three of those guys are signed for more then two years so they would have a solid 3 year run to see what they could get out of them. I did a trade machine for them and it works with Brogdon,Williams and either Sharpe or Scoot but not both. That would be the sticking point i'm sure. If Atlanta got back Sharpe,Williams and Brogdon they could start winning now and still get a few firsts from Portland.

    All these really big trades the last 7 years have been awful except for the Anthony Davis trade, The Mitchell trade and the Paul George trade. We can get players without giving up everything. I don't think we need a star just some pieces. You don't have to give away the whole house for those players. I cannot see a trade for Trea that wouldn't involve too much. It's possible it's just i can't see Atlanta doing it unless it's a godfather offer.

    Well said. I think the Markelle as a starter ship has sailed. Cole has also regressed as a point guard and Suggs is a shooting guard. I don't think we can wait past this summer to secure the veteran point guard this team has needed for ten years. Nuff said.

    Defense in the 4th quarter has kept us over .500 this year. let's see what happens.

    Pretty good start. Chet looks ridiculous. LOL. Thunder are very disciplined. Out guys look poised.
