MagicOne 119 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 TMF the only reason why the Heat won last night is because D-Wade hit that lucky shot. Unfortunately it will come back to bite the Magic because the Warriors are gonna come out hungry wanting this win. To me it would be a victory for the Magic if they can keep the final margin of defeat under 15 points. Klay is gonna be hitting triples in bunches. Steph and KD will have good nights as well. And then you have Boogie...and Draymond..and..well you get the picture. Lol. Magic have no chance to win. None. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 And now a very serious question. If, and I am only saying IF, the Magic should not make the playoffs this time around would you all consider this season to be a failure or a success ? I mean they have already won 28 games and certainly should win at least 36 with their remaining schedule. Even if they fail to make it to the playoffs shouldn't 36 wins be considered a positive step in the right direction ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicblue 315 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Yes a 35+ win season would have to be considered a success, although these losses to bottom dwellers over the last week, which are likely to keep us out of the playoff mix, are certainly very disappointing. Lets hope this is all just part of the learning curve and showing us what is right with this team (Isaac) and what isn't (Fournier, Grant) moving forward 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 If we don’t win enough to make the playoffs then this season will be a disappointment because of all the big leads we lost and the poor teams we lost to. On a positive note maybe it will motivate our players even more next year and our front office to actually address our weaknesses. Haha if only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML6 520 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Has there been any update on any Warriors sitting tonight? Wade's shot really screwed us b/c I feel had the Dubs won they might have sat some guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year we were screwed by outlier level injuries. This year we're being blessed by outlier level health from our top 6 guys. If we can't take advantage of that by making the playoffs, especially considering the situation we find ourselves in I wouldn't be very optimistic about next year unless Fultz shows out.

Agree with both posts. As disappointed as I’d be if we don’t make the playoffs this season, especially when you consider some of the ways we’ve lost as MagicBlue alludes to, I’m a bit more optimistic about next season because I think the front office fixes a couple of things over the summer. That should make us at least a solid shot for the playoffs next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cousins will play tonight against the Magic. Cousins has done okay since his return from injury; however with weight and size, he is a force to be reckoned with under the basket. Other teams have triple teamed him (with some success). The Magic are going to have to bring their 'A' game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ML6 520 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Speaking of Klay, and I know this is impossible, but can you imagine replacing Fournier with him in some alternate universe? The team would start looking pretty complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
