Remarkable. Didn't think this would of happen when they were 11 under .500 at one point. To be here at .500 and so close to the post season. Man!

The result of excellent coaching....also with impending #1 and #6 picks of the previous 2 drafts next year... things are looking up for the Magic

I'm proud of the direction this team is going as we edge close to the playoffs.

The Magic is winning at a 2/3rds rate. Dominating at home and being competitive on the road.
In the playoffs: none of the top teams will want an Orlando series.

I honestly think JI is a big part as well. We were very good last year before he went down. He is the piece we needed on our front line in order to still have Vooch in the game defensively. Having a guy who is 7 foot and can cover the rim, but from the 4 position allowed Nik to just take his man and get rebounds, which are both areas at which he excels. But yes, Clifford is the right coach for this job. What I get from him is consistency and firmness which are things absolutely vital for young teams.

At a quick browse, (to be checked) I think we're 14-8 since the All star break.
Over the course of 82 that'd be enough for 3rd seed in the East this year.

I think out of the last 3 playoff spots, we have to be the toughest matchup for any of the top teams because of our defense.

Thanks for doing the graph all season. I love that upswing after game 51. I never thought before the season that they would finish above .500. What an awesome season this ended up being no matter how the playoffs go.
