I'm saying 8-6. This requires only one home loss and a split up in Boston.

I am on record as saying the Magic will go 40%, so that's 6-8, for a 19-13 record to end 2023.

Wow: 19-13. What a great outcome to the first 32 games.

9-5. It'll be interesting if Tatum acts out if we beat Boston again. Apparently, he was butthurt because he felt the Magic ran up the score on them.

I'll go 7-7.

Last year, the team played .500 basketball, more or less, after the 5-20 injury-plagued start. I think they can maintain that level of play barring any long absences from key players.

Whatever gets us to 20-5 then I am ok with anything from there. Even straight L streak.....

To go from 5-20 to 20-5 would be a great confident boost and a wakeup call for the league.

December is incredibly brutal. I will be happy if we are at .5 or above but ultimately regardless of schedule, I want them to experience all the pressures that they will face in the playoffs (hopefully), so that they will be ready and prepared come that time.

Im going with this. That'd put us at 21-11 going into January, that'd be a 53 win pace and would have been good for 3rd in the East last season going into the new year.

I'll take that

I'm guessing 8-6

The stretch from the Nets game till January 29th against the Mavs is rough, 28 games. If we can go 14-14, we should be at the very least a 45 win team this season, if not high 40's in wins

Pretty incredible
