Haha so are we just going to forfeit the 17th game?

Mhec, i dont get your post, your prediction is already way off lol


I'm only pointing this out because you probably weren't on the board at the time. There were people predicting they would win fewer than 37 games before the season started and at the very beginning of the season. If you read this board much, you might be able to predict some of them. Most of them who did don't mention that now, but they find other ways of spreading cheer.

Whoa, that's one thing I never talk about are injuries. So if one them goes down and we still end up winning 50 games then the jinxing is on you and not me :wink:

Yep I've been around almost as long as you have and believe it or not I've had this name since I signed up, not because of D12's dunk :D
I know what you're talking about, I caught on after Solid's post, and that's mostly why I wanted to do this, too much negativity in here sometimes. We are currently beyond what most have expected us to accomplish this year and I just think we should really be excited about it and celebrate it.

There was one poster, who has the name taken from a guitar, that predicted 34 wins +/-3.

BTW - this same poster, iirc, had a photoshopped image of Dwight in a Laker uniform. He predicted that Dwight was going to leave Orlando for LA. I think that disappeared about the time Dwight signed his extension.

Actually it may still be there, but he hasn't posted very much recently.

OK now everyone can stop telling me that this thread will jinx the team. Because we now know for a fact that they are talking about it themselves. According to SVG:

The next goal for us was to wrap up a playoff spot and then from there we want to win our division, we want to secure home court. We

It's not just that the Magic only need to go 8-8 to win 50 games, 13 of the final 16 games are against teams with a losing record!

Coach Man has hinted in the press that the team target is 55 wins. That's a close out of 13 W 3 L. And that's very do-able. Unlikely. But do-able.

The Magic went 40-46 for the full year, with playoffs, without preseason.
