What will the final record look like?

mattyBoi · Post #1 » by **mattyBoi** » Sun Mar 2, 2008 7:37 am

Ok folks we got 21 games left against some relatively mediocre opposition.

What do you think our final record will be?

Heres my opinion.

Win Tue 04 vs Toronto
Win Wed 05 @ Washington
Loss Sat 08 vs Golden State
Win Mon 10 vs Atlanta
Win Wed 12 vs LA Clippers
Slaughter Fri 14 @ Miami
Win Sat 15 vs Indiana
Win Mon 17 vs Cleveland
Win Wed 19 vs Washington
Revenge Fri 21 vs Philadelphia
Loss Sat 22 @ Atlanta
Loss Tue 25 vs San Antonio
Win Fri 28 @ Milwaukee
Loss Tue 01 vs New Orleans
Loss Sat 05 @ Cleveland
Lol Sun 06 @ New York
Win Wed 09 vs Chicago
Win Fri 11 vs Minnesota
Win Sun 13 @ Chicago
Win Tue 15 @ Atlanta
Win Wed 16 vs Washington

Which would put us at 54-28

May be a little too optimistic, what do you all think

The Magic need to dig in and grind out long winning streaks. This starts with winning virtually all games where the Magic has a currently better team record. That alone would be around 16 wins in the above games. Add a SAS or GSW win here or there, and your prediction of 18 wins is exactly what Stan-the-Man has mentioned in the pres as the kind of MO the Magic need going into the playoffs.

Looking at the games after the @Cle on the 5th, you predict a seven-game winning streak. If true, that's an excellent wave to ride going into the playoffs.

A lot of winnable games. It looks like we will continue to be consistent throughout the year, I think we can grab sixteen of those games on the win column. Great accomplishment if we finish with 50+ wins, especially when we have so many needs.

NY is a guaranteed "lol" but philly may be tougher than we think. Btw 50 wins would make this the best season in 12 years* if I am correct, so I'm fine with that

50+ wins would be great, but most would agree that the Magic need to get out of the first round to make this a really successful season. Also avoiding a sweep by Detroit, or better yet, giving them a series would also be really nice.

It will look like a pair of two-digit numbers separated by a hyphen. The two numbers will add up to 82.

50 wins almost looks like a gimme at this point.

Credit SVG with getting the most out of this roster.

That was not the case last year.

it's hard to see us losing any of our next 11 but this is the magic and they will probably lose 2 of them putting us at 47-25 with 10 games to go we would go 7-3 losing to san antonio, new orleans, and @ cleveland...final record: 54-28...going into the season i predicted between 49 and 53...so if they do go 54-28 that would be exceeding expectations...that would be good enough for 3rd place i'd imagine and since cleveland already has 26 losses it's hard to imagine them not losing 3 more games the rest of the way with games against detroit (3), new orleans (1), orlando (2), and toronto (1)...i see them losing 3 out of those gaes alone and they will drop a game or 2 against spoiler teams (charlotte, milwaukee, indiana, etc.)

It will look like a 2 digit number then a dash and then another 2 digit number.

**edit - saw that SS Mark beat me to the punchline **

52 & 30 is my semi-amateurish guesstimate.

I said 50-32 to start the year. Can't believe we only need to go 12-9 to get that now. :clap:

50-32 probably

Post #15 » by **MagicMadness** » Sun Mar 2, 2008 10:29 pm

51-31 is my guess.

The current .623 win rate puts the Magic just at 51 wins.

If Arroyo is starting, we may well just go undefeated in the remaining games.

OrlandoMagic · Post #18 » by **OrlandoMagic** » Mon Mar 3, 2008 4:07 am

im thinking 81-1... any bets?

I'll take the over

Illuminati · Post #20 » by **Illuminati** » Mon Mar 3, 2008 5:50 am

They can easily finish with 50-52 wins.
