CTMagicUK 1,526 Report post Posted August 16 Schedule is out. Magic have 5 nationally televised games and a further 4 on NBA TV. We open the season @ Miami on 10/24. We have two 5 game road trips and a 6 game road trip. Only 2 of our first 9 games are at home. Only 2 of our last 6 games are at home. 13 back to backs. This schedule kind of sucks at first glance lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luke_FfS 266 Report post Posted August 16 11 hours ago, jmmagicfan said: We never could, nobody wanted them; everyone caught on after he used us to increase his European contracts. I know I know, I was joking :), but a lot of times the rights only are included in strange deals when a team need to give up something just to take salaries in exchange. There were a few in the past in which were involved players that never played in NBA and where drafted 10+ years before, but I cannot remember exactly who. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Bully 272 Report post Posted August 19 Quote Orlando Magic: 48-34 Over-Under: 47.5 As with Houston, it's hard to imagine the Orlando Magic going anywhere but up. Their two best players, Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, are 22 and 21, respectively. Both have legitimate power forward size, with legitimate wing games. They can create for themselves and others, get to the basket and have shown flashes of outside shooting ability. If it all comes together for both, Orlando will threaten for 50 wins. But even if there are still some growing pains (the likelier scenario), there's enough talent all over the rest of this roster for the Magic to get back to the playoffs. Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac are two of the best defenders in the league. Wendell Carter Jr. is a solid defensive anchor with some outside shooting ability. Cole Anthony is a good heat-check scorer. And KCP was a near-perfect addition as a veteran who'll take on tough assignments and space the floor without demanding a ton of time on the ball. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10131893-win-loss-predictions-for-every-nba-team-following-complete-2024-25-schedule-release Bleacher Report pegs us as the 6 seed behind Boston 56-26 Philadelphia 52-30 Milwaukee 51-31 New York 49-33 Cleveland 49-33 Orlando 48-34 Indiana 46-36 Miami 45-37 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke_FfS 266 Report post Posted August 20 Too soon for that, still deep offseason! Maybe later we can make the prediction thread again, so we can check the results coming end of season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
