Something like: “Magic, winners of half of almost every game they play”. Or “Magic, fast out the gate but polite at the finish”. Or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, we’re only 2.5 games back of Charlotte in 8th, but we also don’t know how to not lose to Charlotte by at least 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,180 Report post Posted January 19, 2019 What a strange season. We’re only 2.5 games back of a playoff spot, we’re also tied with Washington and Memphis for 6th worst record in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I think 39 wins is the realistic goal number. You just try to get to that number and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just try to get to that number and see what happens. Yeah, I’m with you on that. Don’t see us going 20-17 the rest of the way without adding a piece or two. We need a point and we need a shooter in the second unit to take some of the pressure off Ross. We have 9 games (10 if you include Minnesota on deadline day) until the trade deadline. Wonder if we’re waiting to make a move depending on how that stretch goes. We have MIL, @ ATL, @ BKN, WAS, @ HOU, OKC, IND, BKN, and @ OKC in that stretch. Really need to find a way to go 5-4 or better in that stretch or else I see us give up at the deadline and trade Nik so he doesn’t walk for nothing. HAVE to beat Hawks, Nets, Wiz and the somehow find a way to steal another one, but I’m not sure which. Maybe home against OKC? Also, if Gordon’s out more than a night or two, we’re in huge trouble.
