Well, Spurs handled business. Obviously the team we expected.

The NBA is a funny league. Knicks were without 4 of their starters and still beat the #2 team in the east. Meanwhile, the Pacers lost to one of the worst teams in the league.

With the NYK injuries and Embiids history... can we make a run for the 4th?

Absolutely in the cards. We could have home court advantage in the playoffs or be a lotto team in about a month... :lol:

It wasn't the amazing day we hoped for, but at least the Magic won their game.

Indiana losing to a 12-48 team was certainly great for the Magic.

Indeed. This was a big one for us. We need to beat two of the NY, Philly, Indy, Miami group. Indy losing an unexpected game helps that.

wep Warriors- Celtics was fun game. Until game started.

basketballRob · Post #1513 » by **basketballRob** » Mon Mar 4, 2024 6:53 am

The Warriors had plane problems 2 days ago and didn't get into Toronto until 7 am. on the day they had to play the Raptors. Then, 1 day off and then play the Celtics at 10 am Western time.

Very disappointing that neither Cavs or Mavs helped us but Spurs beating Pacers is huge.

I think its clear Halliburton isnt healthy, and came back only so he could keep beyond the 65 game threshold so he can be eligible for a supermax if he makes an All-NBA team

I think it's fair to say the Magic will most likely be a top 6 seed in the East

pepe1991 · Post #1516 » by **pepe1991** » Mon Mar 4, 2024 7:28 am

Neither Brunson nor Haliburton look healthy.

Brunson returned and popped knee on non contact.
Haliburton looks like complete a$* last two games.

That said, when Victor makes 3s, there's just so little what you can do about it. Oh and guy blocked 43 shots in past 8 games :lol:

That's 5,4 bpg :rofl:

Lets not jinx anything.

The 4-8 teams are separated by only 2 wins or something.

The Magic are 8-2 the last ten games but so are the heat that's crazy how good they always seem to be. Good thing we did the injury thing earlier in the year and are now healthy unlike the Knicks who are 3-7.

Post #1519 » by **SOUL** » Mon Mar 4, 2024 11:12 am

Too many "thank god we're healthy" posts lol.

Let's just hope we can finish it out strong with no more injuries, seeing as how we have a lot of injury prone guys.

In the 71-72 season, the Suns missed the playoffs despite racking up 49 wins.

It probably won't come to that this year, but what do you think the record of the 7th seed will be? 47 is possible..
