ML6 520 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 Yeah so Harper’s just a troll. Just got home and started listening to the XM show he recorded earlier, and his first Magic-related comment is: “Don’t you feel bad for the Magic? Now they’re going to pay to keep this team together.” That was before even introducing the win or anything. They moved onto something else. I can’t fast forward this particular episode so maybe he’s complimentary later on but the dude is just kind of a broken record of cynicism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originalticketholder 133 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 46 minutes ago, ?4thewin said: We underachieved last year when dj-Fournier-Isaac-Gordon-Vuc +Ross missed 194 games We overachieved this year when the above players missed 14 games. We shouldn't have the same injury luck next year. So we'll probably be better and win more of those games we dropped earlier. But we'll also lose more games due to injury. If Fultz is ok and we keep Ross but not vucevic and our first round pick can actually contribute as quality depth I think we can get back to 42 wins if we're talking about 50 games lost to injury and not 120. This is probably as close as anyone can speculate at this point. You would think we would have Bamba all year, Isaac will be even better and Fultz will be an upgrade, maybe even a spectacular one. I happen to think Gordon will be a big beneficiary of a better PG outlook. If we resign both Vuc and Ross (seems improbable) we have more needed depth to offset those injuries. Will have to wait for free agency to unfold before we know for sure. But I still love our future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will have to wait for free agency to unfold before we know for sure. But I still love our future. We will probably sacrifice a higher floor for a higher ceiling. If we let Vooch walk but re-sign Birch, a center rotation of Birch and a hopefully-stronger Bamba could be sufficient. IMO our young core has the highest ceiling in the NBA. Gordon, Isaac, Bamba, Fultz, Iwundu, and whoever we take with our 1st is the only young core in the league with elite 2 way potential. With that being said, our floor is also very, very low. But I trust our new developmental staff and Coach Cliff to help the young guys reach their potential 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 Here's a good visualization of our seeding possibilities. Lot of 7 seeds. Many scenarios where we move up to 6. Very few 8 seed scenarios. Edit: here's the actual breakdown 64 outcomes. The magic are the 7th seed in 40 The magic are the 6th seed in 20 The magic are the 8th seed in 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjgator 164 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 Are you all gonna watch the Fox Sports or ESPN broadcast of the last game? I was thinking Fox then ESPN(they put one up after on ESPN3 that seem to have a lot of the commercials edited out), but I may not be in the mood to watch again if it's an L, so I might just go with ESPN first since it's the only one, see what they say.

Out of the thousand of Magic games I've watched, we've never been flawless on the line........in a game of that level.....in any season. Even when the Magic had a great team with Dwight Hedo Lewis.
