Well, that’s probably goodbye to any of my hopes of a top 2 pick. We’re playing really well to end the season, while Portland is on full tank mode, and we’re only 1 loss ahead of Indiana, and 2 losses ahead of a bunch of others. The biggest upgrades we can make to this roster are back up Forward and Center. The back court rotation is set, and the starting frontcourt is beautiful. Will be interesting to see what the FO does in the off-season.
That was a comfy W 👍
Best game of the year?
Most comfortable win we’ve had all year. Also the longest win streak in a while. Ending the season on a great note if we keep this up.
Nobody on the Magic had more than 13 FGA. A lot of unselfish players. Genuinely, love to see it.
i love this team and love rooting for these guys, would love to see how far they can make it next year
Amazing all around game from literally everyone on the team. Unfortunate we probably won’t make the play in but I’m so excited for next season. I’m glad the FO isn’t tanking these games away and carrying these awesome vibes and momentum into next season
I don’t think we’re getting 2 top 10 picks with how well Chicago and we have been playing to end the season.
I cant wait for next season…
I love how these last 3 games all of the people saying we’re tanking have shut the hell up. These last 3 games have been some of the quietest post threads in a min lol.
Well this is getting interesting now isn’t it??
This reminds me of that team we had with young Dwight before we made the playoffs, caught fire at the end of the year and came close but missed the playoffs. Great to see suggs back, team balance was great.
Can’t get mad we won. We are about to be a contender.
CMON BULLS, LOSE!
Heat fan congratulatin & thankin y’all for doing what we couldn’t. Sorry we’re such little bitches🥺
eight people in double figures is crazy, you love to see it
Love this team! Great win by Orlando against a very good offensive team in Brooklyn. That Bridges is some player geez 😳
WARLANDO WAGIC
It was nice seeing Chuma on the court!
You don’t usually win against the Nets when Bridges drops 44, but this Magic team is different
Good thing is, we maybe have 1 day without some strange trade suggestions now!
Fuck injuries. 5-20 just doesn’t happen if we have even half the guys back. Imagine if we don’t even play .500 basketball during that, just instead go 10-15 during the first 25 games instead. That would be good enough for a tie for the 8th seed and within 3 games of the 6th.
Our players say they want to win and compete so we should shut the fuck up about tanking and cheer the team on the floor. Not the hypothetical
Minimum 10 win improvement from last season! Also 27-27 since cole and markelle’s return on 11/30
Play-in, tank, injury…. such is the life in the world of Magic. But at least we revel in each victory, big or small. No one’s absolutely right about what course of action the team should take. I personally support further growth of already talented individuals and encouragement of the winning mentality rather than de-spirit them by some kind of self sabotage. 2023-2024 is going to be fun. If they can still eek in to post season, by all means, I’d be better than glad, the fans too, and the boys and the coaching staff would be too. It’s likely they’d lose to better playoff contenders, but I believe they’d be mad fueled for next season from their playoff experience.

Fuck tanking, and fuck all you losers saying that we should be tanking. I’m proud of this team. We have all these talented young players who just need experience and confidence. These wins are huge for us. I don’t give a fuck about draft position. I give a fuck about our talented young players gaining experience and confidence. Tanking is basically telling the players “you guys suck and we need to replace you”. Screw that. Let these guys win.
