I would say for now anyway that 48+ is our new floor. Depending how December goes it might even be 50+. We will see how it goes though. This is the NBA marathon after all.

50 is a lot, I think people are swinging a little too opposite right now lol. 45 would be amazing.

Yup... the success we just had i think got a little too much in our heads.

45 is already our wildest hope.

It woulda really been nice to get another televised NBA game by making the tourney

Happy to see the Pacers capitalize, only Tyrese Hailliburton's 2nd televised NBA game in his career

Still inexplicable how the NBA isnt giving the Magic more televised games considering we got a 21 & 22 yr old forward both putting up all star numbers on a 14-6 team

I got our floor at 45, aka playing .500 basketball the rest of the way as long as we stay reasonably healthy, which should get us atleast the 6th seed.

Incredible, never wouldve said this at the beginning of the season. 50 wins is legitimately doable, really depends how we play through this rough December & January stretch.

Ever since Moe took the charge on Porzingis, he's been out.

How did we ever limit Hali to that production? Was ge having the worst off night ever when we faced each other or did Suggs really did that?

Black blocked Haliburton at least once.

Haliburton is the best PG in the league this season, anyone agrees with that? Like my comment

Celtics lack of actual bigs is scary , considering they are banking on Porzingis health and 40 years old Horford.

Pacers vs Kings would be an awesome tournament final. Pure firepower, run and gun and bomb from deep. Only being 1 game would really up the stakes too.

only threat to an easy title for the celtics,it is the lack of the most important attribute a team should have in today nba: playmaking.

willing passers,not great playmakers.

I love how Haliburton plays "the right way".

He is an Ace player. He is my forth favorite player in the whole of the NBA, behind only Jokić, Dončić, and Antetokounmpo.

Adam Silver might lose his mind; lost income. I love this outcome!
