ML6 520 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 Two thoughts: 1) If we do play Toronto, I am super excited for the larger basketball community to get to see Isaac defend Siakim and Gordon defend Kawhi. Isaac's matchup numbers with Siakim are borderline absurd -- he completely removes him from the game. 2) MCW is totally going to have some sort of sequence where he gets a steal into alley oop followed by huge rebound into a transition pass for 3. Hopefully it happens at home. The roof is going to blow off the place for hustle plays like that and he's the guy to do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we play Toronto it's almost definite we play on Friday. Thursday is considered "prime time". If we play Philly there's a pretty good chance we get all the best Eastern conference slots because Philly is probably the number one draw of casual fans based on the current makeup of the conference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originalticketholder 133 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 I have been down on Fournier all season but, welcome back, Evan. Just in time. Picking the perfect time to play his best ball of the season. If Ross and Fournier keep playing like this we are competitive no matter who we play. Last night they showed a stat that since December (somtime?) we have had the 4th best record (I think it was in the East). And, obviously we are hot right now. Would love to beat Charlotte, who if they beat Cleveland (I think yes because Cavs ARE tanking) it will be a meaningful game for Charlotte. And if we beat Charlotte we are 6th or 7th. Of course I could see resting the players to avoid injury. Intersting dilemma Anybody hear anything on JI's injury? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrueBlueDrew 75 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 Has anyone seen the newest ESPN Power Rankings? We come in at 14...here is what they say Quote The Magic secured an East playoff spot for the first time since 2012 behind nine wins in their past 11 games. It's a huge milestone for a young squad in what was theoretically a rebuilding season. -- Snellings That's literally all they wrote. EVERY OTHER TEAM got like 3-4 sentences diving into their team. We get 2 sentences. If I'm the team, I'm disrespected by that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicfan1987 266 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 I think next season it would be reasonable to believe we could be fighting for the 5th maybe even 4th spot next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
