ML6 520 Report post Posted March 21, 2019 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: https://streamable.com/w7uu6 https://streamable.com/a91w0 https://streamable.com/x0hrj 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time with the Magic was the 2009 Finals and the 2010 ECF. It's less stressful when my teams suck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
