HEY, ORLANDO MAGIC! GAME WINNER 113-88 GO MAGIC!

Okay, will do. Thanks.

Help me out, All Eyes. There are so many "maybes" in your response to my question. Since I already prepared a game thread starter for the playoffs, do you want it to be designated as for game 1 (only) of the first round--meaning, show a date, time, and place for game 1. Please tell me specifically what to do. I will understand if you want a dedicated game thread starter for each game separately. I can also understand if you want it to be left open for everyone who wants to do one. I will be out of town for the entire month of may and I won't be able to do anymore after the opening thread.

Hey Mods, I need for any one of the 3 to answer this question. I mentioned that I have prepared a Game Thread Starter for the start of the Magic's playoffs series against the Cavaliers. I thought about how many threads that have already been posted about 2024 Playoffs Discussions, including the one I posted after the Magic clinched a playoff spot (Titled: Orlando Magic Makes The 2023-2024 Playoffs! Celebrate!) In my opinion, both threads had the same intent (ie, to discruss the playoffs). The one I posted was not needed because most participants were posting comments in the other thread (2024 Playoffs Discussions). My question is: Should I not post the Game Thread Starter that I prepared for the Magics' opening game for the playoffs on Saturday, April 20th? My concern is that when game 1 starts, there will be posters who will be posting comments about the actions of the April 20th game in the 2024 Playoffs Discussions thread. I would like to know if the dedicated "Official Playoffs Game Thread" is not needed. As a matter of fact, we only need one game thread starter for the entire Series of Round 1 in the playoffs. A few hours before each game starts, All Eyes or someone else can post information for the next game--about who or what--in the Official Game Starter that I prepared. After the Magic wins Round 1, then a new dedicated grame thread starter will be needed for Round 2 because the Magic will play against a new team. ;)

Thanks, All Eyes On Me. As I said in a previous post, I won't be able to watch the games even though there is a TV at my vacation home. Comcast charges too much for internet or wifi along with the charge for cable TV. Best I can do is check the box scores on my cell phone. I mentioned earlier that I have a handheld mobile hotspot device that I can use with my 8-inch tablet, but my home is 3 stories tall with a lot of tall trees in neighbor's yards. Therefore, I would not be able to pick up signals. I will be rooting for the Magic from afar. :) GO MAGIC!!!

I thought about that Jay. Game 1 game thread starter for the April 20 game is ready. Do you or a mod know the start time? I can't find it. That is the only thing left to be included. I won't post it too early. Thanks for the 'safe travels' comment Jay. I needed to hear that.

Thanks, Jamesdin. *Fixed*

I will prepare the game thread starter for the 1st game of the playoffs on April 20. I can do one for Game 2 and/or 3 if they are played by April 27th.

When I prepared and posted the 'Orlando Magic Makes The Playoffs' thread', it was intended to be the discussion thread for the playoffs. However, you just posted a 2024 NBA Playoff Discussion Thread. I used the expression 'Celebrate!" instead of "Discuss". But that's okay. You can lock the "Orlando Magic Makes The Playoffs" thread. Your thread actually cancels out the intended discusssion thread I started. I'm okay with that.

CT, I appreciate your reaching out to me and wanting to know if I would make game threads for our playoff games. Unfortunately, I am flying up to my vacation home in Maryland on May 1 and will be there 5 weeks. I will only be able to follow the playoffs on an 8-inch tablet using a mobile hotspot device (Comcast charges too much for internet and wi-fi). I could do the opening game if it started by April 27.

Sorry about that, DJ. That image is not a promo by Bally Sports. I put together that particular image and inserted into a game thread starter last season. I did'nt have time to edit out Markelle's picture for yesterday's game. I was in a hurry to post something in the general game thread before the game started. Also, when I was doing game thread starters, I always copied and pasted Bally Sport's logo into the main image of the game thread starter. ***Update: I have edited the image you are referring to. I removed Markelle's image and replaced it with Suggs'.

Hey Jay. when you get a hold of some pictures/video from today's game, would you please post them in the thread I just started congratulating the Magic for making the playoffs. Thanks.

GO MAGIC!

Hey mods, I just posted a new poll. It's title is NEW POLL #3. There is only 1 game left tomorrow. I thought it would something brief to see what the posters think our final regular season will be. There are only 2 choices. Fans won't see the new poll if poll #2 is still pinned. PLEASE! ***By the way, I have prepared a "Heads Up_End of Season Finale" announcement for tomorrows game that I will post tonight inside the "2023-2024 General Game Thread.

Okay, you Magic Fans, there are only 2 choices for Poll #3. So, even if you voted in Poll #1 and 2, you cast a new vote in Poll #3. This is just a filler until game time tomorrow. The Poll will close at 12 a. m. Sunday morning. COME ON MESSAGE BOARD MEMEMBERS. . .VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! LET'S GO MAGIC!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, other members of a team will turn it up and become more resilient to make up for a loss of their bread and butter teammate. In this situation, I think Maxey and perhaps Tobias will start dropping a few more dimes.

Thanks, Jay.

A few plays ago, I saw WCJ grab his back. Goga immediately subbed before the second unit came in. Does anyone know if WCJ is injured?

I enjoy reading this message board and appreciate when I get to read volumes of opinions from participants, whether I agree or disagree. I want to hear the negatives. . . I want to hear the positive comments My point is, I have been reading a lot of criticisms about individual Magic players--which is fine with me. But when I mention something that I observed about a Magic player during a game, which is viewed as negative (like last night), I get a down vote. Remember when Cole scored 20 pts in a game we won (out of the last 11 remaining games in the season). I, along with one or two other participants, pointed out how inconsistent Cole is on offense. When I posted, I used the expression "ball hog" and how in the playoffs Cole could cause the Magic to lose a game playing "hero ball". I was the only participant who was critical of Cole that got a down vote. Last night, in the game against Houston, I received a down vote for an observation I made about 2 Magic players who were falling to the floor a lot. I was concerned about possible injuries. Suggs fell backwards about 3 or 4 times. I have not seen any other down votes given to other participants on this message board in a while where Magic players were criticized..

To add to this, some of our players spent more time in a horizontal rather than vertical position--sometimes Mo Wagner but Suggs was laid out a lot on the floor. He had a hard time keeping himself vertical.

That was just too funny, Crazyhorse! You are good at these one-liners.

 MAGIC VS BULLS  ~SUNDAY~ KIA Center - Orlando, FL Sunday, March 7th at 6:00 P.M. EST TV: Bally Sports FL

Attention Mods, I have prepared a 'second chance' poll for what the message board members think the Magic's Record will be for the last 11 games at the end of the season. In Poll #2, message board members will have a second chance opportunity to change their votes. Maybe lock Poll #1 (don't delete) and pin Poll #2. I will understand. If you don't want to do either, Just an idea.

So, the Magic has now played 6 games of the 11 games remaining in the regular season. As of Friday night, Apri. 5th, the Magic's record is 3-3 with 5 games left Here is your chance to either vote for the first time or change your vote from POLL #1. Go ahead, no one will know how you are voting. I have prepared poll #2 so you can vote for the first time or change your vote from Poll #1 on what the Magic's record will be (as of the midway point) for the 11 games remaining at the end of the 2023-2024 season ***SEE GAMES BELOW***
