We have the hardest schedule in the league, in second half. The rest of the teams in the bottom 6 or so, play each other multiple times. The Magic will be underdogs in every game left.

i see them winning 20 or so games...i dont see minn,houston or pistons and maybe kings winning 20 plus games and can see washinton and cavs phone it in ..
I think we'll be lucky to win 3 more. Every team we play now is trying to make the playoffs. We're embracing the tank.

Nice win by Minnesota last night. I am telling you, the only reason to purposefully finish with the worst record is to lock in the 5th pick. Neither Minnesota or Houston keep the pick at #5 (or #4 in Minnesota's case). They are going to play their young guys and they won't care if they win some. Minnesota has to see DLo and KAT together. It's been a year, and they have played a handful of games together.
