Official Speculation Thread: The Regular Season is Underway

[dsg2021]

This team is too talented to finish bottom 5, I think we will go on a run later in the season and compete for a playoffs spot, especially when our guards return.

It simply won't happen.

You will need 42-45 wins at least to even be in playin position.
Magic are 2-8 while entering most brutal part of schedule in two weeks .




And on top of that Magic are just trash on a road, and to even go back to .500 record they would have to win multiple opponents on a road, including teams that are actually contenders .


This is probably 25 wins season ,even if everybody is healthy and hard roster decisions will have to be made around February, March and in offseason.

It looks like we are playing the same 4-5 teams in the next 15 games. Is this Something or is this Anything?

The start of this season, first two months its about the most brutal schedule I can remember to start a season.

Is Okeke back to being Okeekee now?
It occurred to me the play-by-play guys aren't using the new pronunciation any longer.

Edit they went back to Okeke sounding today

Does anybody have any info on why Hampton didn't play tonight? When I was searching I did come across some headline from a week or two ago saying he left the Mike Miller agency. Hadn't seen that report before.

Oh, well I guess we are at the point if we want him to continue on the Magic he has to play well, but if he plays well there is zero chance he plays here. Picking up, or more appropriately not picking up, these rookie options in advance are a joke.

One of the great mysteries of the 2022-2023 season.
