The +12 wins badge is locked in. Calm down. Be cool, like Anthony Black.

I mean for april 9th, it does remain true. Too bad april 9th isn't the last day of the season.

We won 34 games last season. We've won 46 games this season. They ain't taking any wins away, ya know?

Boston and Denver are favorites to win it all.

West is on paper stronger then the East.

This doesn't invalidate that we still have to go through our conference, beat Boston on our way to a championship.

Like, regardless of playoff spot or playin spot at this point, there is simply no way we compete for a champion without some catastrophes happening that I do not wish on people / players / humanity.

We are improving, Detroit and Atlanta were supposed to be improving and imploded. We have 5 lottery picks we are developing and at a minimum a lock for the play-ins this season in a season most of us would be happy if we were trying to get into the playins and that was settled, weeks ago.

Offseason acquisitions, trades & how we use this years draft picks is going to paint a very very interesting picture. If you want to pass judgement, wait for all of that to go down.

Personally if I don't see AB start or at least be 2nd unit next season I riot. @eyriq and I will go into Kia Center every game with our high heels on after we are made millionaires in the halving.

Real talk with how young our players are do you guys think they read the Magic boards before and after games? If they enjoy basketball like we think, I can imagine them being part of a Realgm or Reddit board. They have to read our responses.

I suspect their social media is focused around Twitter and Instagram and platforms like that.

Evidently, the outside is 99% finished and they are ready to finish the interior but since they don't have enough interest in clients renting offices in the building, the owners don't want to work on the interior because the law states that they only pay taxes on the land, but once building is finished, they have to pay taxes on building and land. Probably be empty for another 10 years.

Wikipedia didn't mention that the TV preacher pledged that it would only be built with donor money...apparently God didn't approve of the plan and smited his plan. Apparently, God also is pleased with their tax planning...better not to render unto Caesar, etc I guess.

South East Divisional Champions!

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

The Cavs tanked to play us, and that has to motivate our players.
