Assuming that the Magic already have a playoff spot secured while going into their final game and sitting at number 7 and let's say the Raptors somehow take the number 1 in the East and the Bucks number 2..Would the Magic consider losing that final game to purposely drop to number 8 so they would face Toronto instead of Milwaukee in the first round ? Yes. Or at least they should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Buccaneer 74 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 If we could get in and matchup against Raptors, I think we may take a couple of games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,205 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 Best case is to push for the 6 seed and get one of Indy/Philly/Boston in the first round. Second best is to get 7 and get Toronto, worst is to get 8th and get spanked by Milwaukee 4 times. I think we have a punchers chance in the first scenario and take Toronto to 6 in the second scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 I think it's no coincidence that the Magic started their winning ways once there was more of Briscoe and Birch and less of Grant and Bamba. Although Mo is hurt and that could explain some of his struggles. With Birch and Briscoe the energy level and toughness has gone up. The defense has improved greatly. I'm not sure if Bamba is out for the rest of the year but if he isn't I wouldn't insert him back into the backup spot and take away Birch's minutes. Briscoe gets the team into a nice up tempo flow offensively as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicblue 315 Report post Posted March 3, 2019 Huge win and maybe my favorite of the season. Tough team making all kinds of shots in their place and odds seemed stacked against us. We are growing up. Hope DJ is okay but I’d roll with Briscoe. He’s tough as nails. Keep it up fellas!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
