I wish I had a printout of our injury list thru that downward spiral.

But: the Magic is winning at a 77% rate over the last 22 games (see above), so that win-rate would sum to 9 wins and a 51-31 record.
It is no longer "crazy" to believe that eyriq was correct in predicting 50 wins way, way back in game One.
Oh, no @eyriq.
Maybe I am the alt?

The only reason I considered 50 was because of the 2010 Thunder. If Paolo was generational and Franz was a star and Suggs was him we win 50. I guess that's the world we live in!
It was a common knowledge that Sixers, Cavs, Knicks, Pacers, Hornets and Bulls will have significant and numerous injuries with us being mostly healthy. Many bets were placed on us even having 60 win season, I hear.
Our green goblins have started a combined 84 games. Let's call them what they are. Our DNP-CD squad.
Two things can be true at the same time. If you want to say its because some other team had an injury. Ok Popeye, we have had injuries too.

Most certainly, but those injuries are Fultz (vast majority of games missed), Harris and WCJ. One would say those injuries resulted in what was a one of biggest win streaks in Magic history. If we're fully honest, you'd be hard pressed to find a fan celebrating Fultz's minutes on the floor today when he does play.

If you rewound the forum. Nobody was walking into this season predicting this is the Fultz we would get. To the contrary, we thought he would play his butt off (he is arguably doing just that. I think I am watching medical malpractice when he plays)
Similarly, my point was that's just the starters though. You forget Isaac, Ingles, Harris on again off again.
We had a 13 game stretch where Mr Queen got significant minutes. The product on the floor was needless to say "dreadful".
I get it, Paolo did not go down for 3 months. How dare you jinx us implying that perhaps we deserved for him to go down for the sake of basketball parity.
This "common knowledge" that we are mostly healthy beating up on injured teams is kinda a misnomer. We had a losing record the 2 months (which was also the hardest schedule months) we were dealing with injuries from various contributing players.

On top of that, I think it's reasonable to expect a competitive series with whoever we face.DiplomaticMagic wrote:If Magic finish strong and have homecourt advantage in round 1, Mosley should be coach of the year!! No debate.

No. You didn't. You didn't believe his three point shooting was for real - along with quite a few other posters here. Congrats. Not even close to the same as predicting setbacks we've seen.zaymon wrote:Last time he was in a contract year he tore his acl after very bad start and i never saw person so happy after such awful injury.
Lol. So he was happy to tear his ACL now? Wtf is this? What's your vendetta here? Where did the bad Markelle touch you?zaymon wrote:Guy have big mental problem and that last interview said he is angry every time he hears its mental.

You are so off base I honestly have to wonder if you one day decided to just troll on everything Fultz related. Are you clowning everyone? For real man - be honest.
