I'll be ok finishing 4-4. 7-1 would be epic.

Looked at the wrong day, long day.

50 is still mathematically possible. I believe!

4/5 @ Charlotte
4/7 vs Chicago
4/9 @ Houston
4/10 @ Milwaukee (B2B)
4/12 @ Philadelphia

4/14 vs Milwaukee


You have to think that the next 3 are "winnable". I do not see how we go from Houston > MIL in less then 24 and win both.

The last 3 have turned dicey. Will we play for playoff seeding? Will Philly be playing for playoff seeding? Will MIL think both are worth their time?

The New Orelans win now brings the Magic back to an expected 48-34 record (a 3-3 close out). So: 5-1 to get to 50!

@ Charlotte
Bulls
@ Rockets
@ Bucks
@ Sixers
Bucks

If the Magic sweeps the Bucks (expecting them to rest their stars) and beat the Hornets and Bulls, then getting to 5 wins is a win either at Houston or at Philly.

Frankly this seems kind of doable to me.

Shame on anyone who thought this team was only capable of a play in.

Who the hell would be happy with just that? Magic fans' expectations have gone to **** after the bad management for the last twelve years.
