It wouldn't be a bad strategy with how young Mobley and Garland still are.jbk1234 wrote:It's not just that the Cavs avoided the Heat and the Sixers, it's that the Celtics will more than likely go through one or the other before facing us. If we can't get out of the first round against a young and inexperienced Magic team, then I'm probably trading both Allen and Mitchell. Reset around Garland and Mobley.

Gotta take it a series at a time but shoot if they were able to beat the Celtics, no one else should be able to stop em, those guys have been juggernauts.jbk1234 wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:It wouldn't be a bad strategy with how young Mobley and Garland still are.jbk1234 wrote:It's not just that the Cavs avoided the Heat and the Sixers, it's that the Celtics will more than likely go through one or the other before facing us.

We have a week to prepare and heal up. We have a series to build momentum and confidence. Assuming we win, I don't hate how we match up with the Celtics.

I really wouldn't be shocked if the Magic pulled off the series victory. I would be highly disappointed if they did though.ijspeelman wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:Gotta take it a series at a time but shoot if they were able to beat the Celtics, no one else should be able to stop em, those guys have been juggernauts.jbk1234 wrote:

We've matched up oddly well with the Celts the last few years. I wouldn't bet on us winning, but I think it'd at least be competitive
Don't want to get ahead of ourselves tho. Seeing a lot of predictions for Magic winning in 5-6 games

Idc if Mitchell still doesn't extend, I just want a series win, without LeBron. It's been far too long.
I think it's really hard to take anything away from those regular season games, since we were always missing guys, outside of that first one.ijspeelman wrote:JujitsuFlip wrote:I really wouldn't be shocked if the Magic pulled off the series victory.

This series loss would definitely be worse than last years, but I agree that its 100% possible.
I just want to see this team take charge and dispatch the Magic somewhat quickly. We split the season series this year and swept the series last year.
I think it's probably 1a/1b with jb being their head coach lolJonFromVA wrote:Biggest problem for this team is staying healthy.

What time do you think they will tip on Saturday?ijspeelman wrote:Fell into the pre-sale trap and will be there during game 1

We are lucky at this point that basically all of our normal rotation (besides Wade) are available to play for the first game
