Do my Magicos win their first Playoff series in 13 seasons this year?

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

Or do we fall to the mighty Cavaliers?

Either way, it was a successful season! We have small expectations down here in the tiny hamlet of O'Town, so just making the Playoffs is enough for us!

[Bush4Ever.]

It's a very winnable series for them for sure. The Cavs actually mirror the Magic in a few different ways (very good defense...but not quite as good as the Magic, mediocre offense...but not quite as bad as the Magic, one all-star with some reasonable pieces, etc...). They aren't separated by very much, although most metrics would imply the Cavs are slightly better. The oddsmakers would probably suggest the same, although I haven't looked.

It will likely be a make-or-miss type series, but gun-to-head I would say Cavs in 7, riding the HCA.

Edit: The odds I saw had the Cavs at -195...that's actually more extreme than I would have guessed (I might have placed it about -150). The most likely outcome per Vegas odds is indeed Cavs in 7 though, which makes sense to me.

[PhutureDynasty]

I'll guess Orlando in 7.

Wouldn't bet on this series though as I don't have a great idea how it goes.

Cleveland in 5.

Banchero shoots under 38% for the series.

It's high time we stop living in a world where even the Pelicans & Wizards have won playoff series more recently

By the way, it's been 5,089 days since the Magic won a playoff series.

My kid was a goddamn toddler when they last won. She starts her senior year next year.

My daughter is in the 7th grade....my wife wasn't even pregnant with her back then.

I was almost still in my 20's!

Magic don't live or die by banchero...it's not a one man team

Compare his 2nd season with Tatum


Thanks for playing
