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!

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

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.
