There is a chance that the kids find their fight and win out to finish 48-34.

And Indiana beats Cleveland and then Atlanta to finish 48-34.

And Cleveland loses to Indiana and then wins against Charlotte. 48-34

We own the tie-breakers and would secure 4th. Indiana would then own the tie-breaker against Cleveland to secure 5th, and Cleveland drops to 6th.

This is just one of many possible outcomes right now. Every game counts for every eastern playoff team right now - talk about great basketball!

I just pray we Franz is playing tomorrow & we come out with energy & urgency on defense, dont cough up the ball & good shooting.

We can win out under those circumstances

Made this post yesterday. Woke up today feeling even STRONGER about this prediction. GO Magic!!! Bring it home tonight. Playoffs of bust for this team. Too good of a season to waste it on a play in.

Would be an epic win…especially if both teams play well. Need some positivity going into playoffs

I believe! Tonight is the culmination of an entire season of over performances. Tonight it's Magic vs the world. In a world where Paolo is the greatest Magic in franchise history, we win tonight.

Y'all ever hear of Joel Embiid? He's about to destroy us. It is what it is at this point

Im all for positive thinking. But realistically we’re not going to win this game. If some sort of miracle happens and we win, it’s a testament to how successful this season has been.

It already has been this way. I am neither hopeful, nor am I pessimistic. I tune in, I watch, I see what the kids have. Teams have been red hot offensively against us. That is a law of averages game. Then it just becomes can we make it messy enough to overcome our lack of a 3rd scorer.

At this point, I do not understand why Mosely doesn't start every single game with Suggs+Harris a 3 ball attempt early. Paolo certainly has the gravity, and if they refuse to respect him he can take most defenders already with a pretty good scoring chance.

All-NBA like a couple of years from now?
This year. Like a 40 point triple double type game. Tomorrow. I feel it.
I think Paolo is capable of it, but he really needs a couple of weeks off to get fresh.

I cannot wait to sign back on at 9PM and celebrate with the forum. All of the ups and downs will be rewarded tonight with the biggest win of the season. Paolo going off tonight.

It's almost tempting to rest the players tonight. They are going to be really tired on Sunday. Playing in 4 different cities in one week. The last time we did that, we got blown out by Indiana.

Can't do it.

Too much good would happen with a win and they'd not control their own destiny with a loss.

We perform well as the underdogs. We should treat this game like a play-in game. In order of urgency I think this dwarfs Sundays game and is tied with the 7 vs 8 play-in game. Win and we lock in the playoffs. Win the 7 vs 8 play-in game and we lock in the playoffs.

That is most likely Embiid or Maxey with that stat line. But I like the optimism.

Would be nice but the odds are against winning the last two games or even beating Philly as Embiid been on fire to get out of the Play-In
