With the Magic win, this is a sole and not co- title.

Do they still do banners or is that no longer a thing for divisions?

Interesting tidbit - Coach Mosley and Coach Bickerstaff have a friendship that spans 20+ years.

"He and I are more than friends - more family, more brothers"

- Bickerstaff on Mosley

Will the playoffs be televised nationally...like ESPN or CBS?

I'm itching to cancel Bally but, obviously, want to see the playoff games.

Every playoff game will be nationally televised, yes.

ESPN, ABC, TNT or NBATV.

The first round will also be locally televised on Ballys.

This can actually amplify the rivalry

I'm wondering if the games will be blacked out in the 1st round on NBATV?

Yup. Should be good locker room material.

Big sign that says, the Cavs targeted us for the POs and shamelessly tanked to do so.

Sometimes i still think about Paolo's defense on that one possession vs Mitchell. Look at how well he moves for a guy his size

May be better than playing the winner of Heat/Philly.

Oh def. We arent just there yet to compete against theae PO vets

Its like that meme of the "supoosed virgin" small white girl being surrounded by like 6 large black men. You know we are that small girl in the pic being surrounded by these vet teams. We gotta choose our spots.

Yes, play your best players more.....no "all bench" lineups please? can we stagger one of the core into that bench lineup so it isn't just cole trying to score?

Watching the Magic get hammered when F-Wagner was out was sobering. THe above surely points to the Magic's need of a healthy set of core players. But that is kind of obvious though.

Read on Twitter

- Trades are now a part of free agency and hopefully we are on lists for guys wanting to come here.
- JI is a special player and when he plays it helps the rest of the guys which is what all good players do.
- Top 3 scorers (Paolo, Franz, Suggs) were all 22 and under
- Talked about winning on the margins and how they will now focus on the draft and free agency
- Talked about how we were just one half away from being a play in team and they will look to improve this team
- Also thanked the fans which is why our homecourt record was so great all year.
- Said players won't let Mose fail and buy into everything he says. He has been a huge part of this growth which is why they extended him.

You can do a monthly plan.

Talked about how we were just one half away from being a play in team

Glad to see they have some perspective and aren’t patting themselves on the back. Now to see if they can make it happen, or just tell us there weren’t any good players available like all the other times…
