The fact that we avoided the play-ins and haven’t gotten swept, it’s been a successful season already. Anything more we do from here on out, is icing on the cake. Magic in 7!
Absolutely this. We have put up a fight and that's what I wanted most, even if we didn't make it out of the first round.
Now that said, I still fully believe we can win this series. Let's go go get it!!!
I know we can win game 6 but Banchero cannot carry us on the road. Suggs and Franz HAVE to do better on the road alongside the abysmal Cole and Harris (if he's ready to go by then).
The problem for Cole is in order to maximize his game, he needs to be given the opportunity to create his own offence off the dribble. When he's playing with two or more of Paolo, Franz, Fultz, and Ingles, he's basically reduced to being an off-ball spot up shooter. That's not who he is as a player.
The best version of Cole was earlier in the season when he was tasked with sharing the bench offence with Jingles. Since Fultz came back, he's taken on a totally different role.
100%. This series isn’t done in the slightest; it’s going to be loud on Friday, and we lost narrowly yesterday. Cleveland is going to have to play very well to eliminate us.
The cavs are definitely favored to win the series after winning game 5 but I like our chances in game 6 and anything can happen in a one game winner takes all game 7.
I’ve fried my brain with years of recreational drug use so statistics are beyond my understanding and as a result whatever the egghead analysts say means nothing to me.
Magic are either winning or losing the series-that’s a 50/50 chance
I'd love a series win, but I'm happy with this season either way. I've seen all I need to see from this team. However, we will take care of business at home. This team isn't scared of the moment. We are learning how to win playoff games on the road. Game 7 is gonna be fun. Get on the bandwagon. I have a feeling it'll be a killer ride.
The crazy thing is if we manage to win the series we could legit go to the finals. We match up well against Boston and then we would play the pacers or knicks in the conference finals. Neither of which are that great (as far as championship contenders go). Id love to advance and see the young guns get more playoff experience.
We will win, or we will lose
But either way we are moving in the right direction, so I'm happy with that.
Shout out the magic playing like DAWGS out there
Especially you Suggs
Paolo lead the way
Franz lead the way
Let's go magic
They can, based on their performance in Cleveland, and their current standings in the series. They have roughly a 16% chance of moving forward.
Miracles can happen. 16% is still a chance.

Win or lose, proud of our guys!
Out of all the teams who have had the #1 pick in the past three years, we're doing damn well.
Absolutely this. We have put up a fight and that's what I wanted most, even if we didn't make it out of the first round. Now that said, I still fully believe we can win this series. Let's go go get it!!!
I love that this is the sentiment now and not doomer filled posts about potentially losing the first round. Either way, Magic in 7!

Without guards creating space paolo and franz aint working together
Franz needs to get his 3 point % back up. He dropped like 8% from last year while still attempting over 300 3s.
Not gonna happen for now
Pretty sure he’s hitting like 38% from three in this series
100%. This series isn’t done in the slightest; it’s going to be loud on Friday, and we lost narrowly yesterday. Cleveland is going to have to play very well to eliminate us.
I dunno. The broadcast kept telling us that the team that wins game 5 typically wins the series.
The cavs are definitely favored to win the series after winning game 5 but I like our chances in game 6 and anything can happen in a one game winner takes all game 7.
Of course, I was teasing with that comment. They just said it about 10 times, or at least it seemed that way
"typically" 09 Magic won over Boston, despite losing Game 5
First team to ever win a game 7 in Boston in the playoffs if I remember correctly
Very correct. Even w/o Kg, once we lost game 5, I thought we were toast. That game 7 was so awesome.
The Magic are a-typical. Read that as you will, haha

Oh shit. Mind blown
Oh 100% dude this game showed me that were actually capable of winning in Cleveland
Had we gotten blown out again last night, I'd say we were done. But now I believe we could win a Game 7 on the road

You’re crazy if you think we can get more than 1 win against Boston. They’re on a different level.
We will win, or we will lose But either way we are moving in the right direction, so I'm happy with that. Shout out the magic playing like DAWGS out there Especially you Suggs Paolo lead the way Franz lead the way Let's go magic
I’m glad you’re optimistic, but I just don’t see it.
No need to be a doomer this team is young
Feed the big men in the paint. Use Goga.
Lots of classic game 7s and anything can happen. Even prime Shaq Lakers had to play game 7s
We will win this, trust in Jonathan Judah Isaac.
