Bulls fan here, coming in peace, looking for something in the playoffs that can make me happy! Do you guys think it'd be a good idea to put a bit of money on the Magic tonight? I always thought this series would goto at least six, and you guys know the Magic can get hot and be impossible to stop at times. Most of you guys seem pretty optimistic, which is awesome!

I came across some other Magic forum called "truebluenation". Has anyone ever heard of this?

Magic often win when they're least expected to... so I'd say there's a good chance for them to pull out a win tonight. I see them at least making it interesting. I could also see Indiana choking away a close-out game since they're still young and inexperienced. But don't blame me if you bet on them and lose... after all, we're a team without a star right now...

Yeah, they have decent posters over there. It's affiliated with the OMagic website, I think.

Well, when you go thru a season full of drama, turmoil, and hell, at a certain point, you just got to kick back and laugh at it. Cuz if not, we'll all have heart attacks and/or suffer from depression.

From my perspective, we're in a win-win situation. If we win, we go to Game 6 and we give ourselves a chance to win the series. If we lose, we get to the offseason quicker, where all of the real magic will happen (pun intended). It'd be one step closer to making front office/coaching changes and one step closer to making roster changes. We got nothing to lose. Of course, more than anything, I hope we win, but I can take positives away from losing as well.

To answer your question, I wouldn't lol.

Are you crazy. Put your money on the Bulls. I think they win if Noah comes back.

Magic are playing in Indy and have done all they can. I am extremely proud of my team, but I am realistic in seeing that this is the end of this season.

I hope they win as well, but everytime I put money on them they lose, so I won't be this time lol. Noah won't be back either. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

This is going to be the toughest game we've played all year imo. They will be at home with an energized crowd and looking to wrap it up. I doubt they want to come back to Orlando to play a game 6 which will be very difficult for them to win (as I feel our boys wouldn't drop another one at home).

It's easy for a team to pack it in once they lose their superstar, but we've played some pretty awesome games and I know most analysts and people are shocked that we've pushed Indy this far with some very tight games. I like the never say die attitude.

Looking for Casper to turn into a real live boy and hit some shots!

Can't wait for this game to start! This day off feels good though, glad I took it. Just mellowing out listening to some Kendrick Lamar and getting hyped for tonight. I have faith in our guys.

I'm predicting it. Meer goes all out and dishes it like Nash in this one. Davis and Anderson clean up on the boards. Ryno scores over twenty and plays solid D on West. Magic beat Pacers easily.

The criticism is very fair cause it is true. Stan is just defending his player as any coach would.
