2018-19 Official Season Discussion Thread

IDK if I can handle a game with stakes this high anymore.  It's been so long since I've had to take on that sort of emotional sports burden.  Obviously I will watch, but I'll be sweating. 

It doesn't help that Wade is one of my least favorite players of all time yet is still producing / securing wins for them.  Having him bury us one last time would be a lot to accept.

Here are some shots he's hit in the past couple weeks:

I almost broke my TV last year during the AFC Championship game. Last time with the Magic was the 2009 Finals and the 2010 ECF. It's less stressful when my teams suck.

LOL.  Started laughing when I saw this because I feel the same way.  

Having said that, how refreshing  it is to be having this discussion instead of arguing about whether we should try to lose every remaining game :)

Yea I’ve never really had to deal with this being younger. Been a fan of the team my whole life but I didn’t become addicted until the year we drafted Oladipo (Not because of him). Been to a bunch of games in the Dwight era but didn’t really care that much, even met the whole 2009 team and cheerleaders and took group pictures with them, if that happened now days I’d freak out like a teenage girl meeting Justin Bieber.

It doesn't matter what players another team has on the floor, if we come to play and don't play like idiots in the last 5 minutes of the 4th we can beat anybody.

for sure. Tomorrow we are winning. No more silliness from the guys at all.

But it helps that Conley was just listed as doubtful.

Even if he played we are winning that game. This team is getting to the level they was before the all star break.

Yes you'd say it helps if he doesn't play for sure.

At this point it’s just about winning, however that happens. I don’t know if the team is “there” yet, but winning a few games they should by a fairly comfortable margin is reassuring.

Some tough ones ahead on the schedule. I’m interested to see how MCW can change the dynamic of the bench, and if Fournier can step up over these final games. I want to see them win the ones that aren’t easy.
