Since we’re about half way now and haven’t been healthy since game 5, I’ll say… we have won a lot of crazy games without our top stars, and some games we’ve lost that have gone down to final seconds we probably had a higher chance of winning at full strength,… our team is much better than last year and we hit 47-35… this year I say 54- 28 seems pretty accurate. Our first 50 win season since 2010 baby!

How many here are also in the Orlando Magic Reddit group? I feel like the forum was really active up until a couple years ago. Did everyone go there?

What an awesome finish to this home stand. Down our top 4 scorers, and our C-squad goes on a 22-4 run in the 4th to win another shocker again. I know this is dreaming, but imagine if we traded some combo of 1st rd picks, JI, Anthony, Gary Harris or something like that, and got De’arron Fox this year!

This didn’t age well.

This is insane. Name another team that can beat good teams consistently without their best players?

I turned it off at halftime and said there’s no reason to watch this mess. I turned it back on because of a notification about a comeback and only got to see the last 4 minutes of the 4th. But I rewound to end of third and then watched Cole soar over the whole arena for a putback dunk after Joseph’s 3pointer and thought “this is why you watch all games for 48 minutes”.

Miami is going to have almost 80 points before halftime. We may lose by 40 tonight. Theyve shot 26 free throws before halftime. Hmmmmmm

We will probably be 17-17 when January 1 gets here. That will be 8 straight losses since beating the suns We play OKC tonight, heat 2x, Celtics, Knicks and Nets. That will put us in 7th place most likely.

Yup, and realizing today that Paolo has missed 24 games already, we probably won’t be full strength until maybe April unfortunately- with minimal time to gel before playoffs start :(

Our offense is non existent

GoGa is a biiig difference maker We are so soft without him, but with him in the game we get a rim protector, elite rebounder, and inside scorer.

We’re really not that good of a road team (esp. against top teams) So I wouldn’t bet that with confidence. well without Paolo at least

We haven’t lost by more than 20 all year. And that includes the 5 games we played right after Paolo went down. Something is wrong tonight. Either afraid of the national attention, or just normal nerves, or bad coaching… all of the above?

Even 29 points is fine. But I care more about the embarrassment than the dang points

We’re a good enough team to come back, but if we can’t stop them from shooting 60%, fouling and turning the ball over then it won’t matter. So yea, pretty much need to play better at all levels
