A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 5 hours ago, alwaystragic said: Mcw has definitely been a solid and key contributor during this run I would keep him as 3rd string but be willing to throw him in to play D when some PG is feasting on us. I'm really hoping Fultz makes a 100% recovery and becomes what he was projected to be so we can really start developing B.I.G. with a great PG. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've basically been playing playoff games for the past two weeks. We should be proud of these guys, aside from a couple letdown games we've responded very well to the pressure. Tonight is a big one. I feel like if we win tonight we're probably going to get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Magic 1,240 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 Isaac is not gonna be shooting 3 for 16 tonight trust me. Evan is in nice Rhythm. DJ and Vooch are not gonna be poor as they was last game. I actually expect the boys to win and win well. Focus on what we can do and what we are good at ..when we do that we are a very good team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 Guys I'm being dramatic, it's my shtick. I do feel we've had a good home court advantage for the past few weeks. The crowd has really seemed into it. Has anyone been to recent games to comment on that? It's encouraging that Orlando has seemed to respond to the recent success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we win tonight that's 40 wins which is enough to shock all the preseason estimates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to all the games during the homestand. The atmosphere was mostly flat apart from the comeback game against Memphis. Would be really good if it was a sell out crowd tonight for the boys. It's a very tourist type of crowd I noticed. Hopefully that will change a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Among other characteristic snarky comments, here's what he put in the 'ceiling/floor' section: "Maybe the Magic can crack 30 victories. If they approach 35 in the horrible East, they should throw a parade. The floor for them is ending up with the worst record in the NBA." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 I've been trying to find Matt Moore's bc I think he picked the under on like 24 wins or something lmao EDIT: Found it, I guess it was 31. But he suggests it would've been a toss up at 26.5. I’m sorry, at 26.5, in the Kings zone? This would at least be down in the toss-up category. But at 31? I’m supposed to believe a first-year head coach, a core built around a combo-forward with no discernible elite talent outside of being a top-five dunk contest guy of all time, and a 31-year-old point guard is getting to 30-plus wins?
