Again this team reminds me so much of the 73-74 BUlls who played with 2 SF, Chet Walker and Bob Love and won 50 games but made an early exit in the playoffs. Staying put I see about 48 wins now, if by some shock a major trade was made I can see it going closer to 55.


Except that the Magic have Howard, while those Bulls had Tom Beorwinkle.

LOL.

That was a bad ass team.

C-Beorwinkle
PF- Bob Love
SF- Chet Walker
SG- Jerry Sloan
PG- Norm Van Lier

Reserve- Bobby Weis.

Hey Vee, you must be an old guy to remember these guys....LOL
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

The Magic look to win about 2 out of every 3 games from here on. Recent play has them above that clip.

That means 21-22 more wins. At this point, 55 wins is more probable statistically than 50 wins.

I'd have said 47 or 48 wins, but I'd like to play better than .500 ball for the rest of the season, even 6-4 per 10 will do me. Need to make sure we are winning consistently come play off time, I dont want to have to "expect to turn it on", but have the winning habbits as SVG says.

But at worst, I just want to be matching the hottest team in our division to ensure we get at very least our division and 4th, if not 3rd in the east. That would be a great season.

At 60% for the rest of the season, you predict 51 wins.

Yeah that would be about right for me I think.
