Right now Ben Wallace, Dikembe Mutombo, and Rudy Gobert have each won DPOY 4 times.

I think Wemby will break that record. He came in second for the award last season as a rookie.

That would be an awesome Finals.

At least one fight breaks out for sure.

Yea it was great. I love how DiVincenzo immediately started running his mouth.

If it can reach that intensity in a random preseason game, wait until the regular season.

Magic winng 3 more games than last year after improving the roster and winning 12 plus extra games every year the past 2 seasons is not a bold prediction. It's expected

Did you actually bet on that?

Every site I've seen taking odds has them under 50, usually 47-48 games.

Are we going to do a repeat where Grizz shames you by posting a bet on the Magic while the fan with alleged true belief in his team whimpers like a bitch?

Lol at odds.
They have famously always been dead wrong about the magic.
Not one expert has ever known anything on the topic and makes dumb no reference predictions and it shows
Grizz didn't shame jack shit.
I'm not a gambler. I find it to be degenerate activity and it's ruining sports.
Stop pretending shit is something when it isn't
50+ is a no brainer

There's a reason the magic were #1 leaguewide in upsetting all the game spread predictions last season by a large margin. Because Vegas is absolutely clueless about them and extremely dead wrong

You can't lol at the odds and then scurry away when it comes time to put up or shut up.

If you were a man, you would cash in on your alleged ultra-confidence and true belief.

I think last year, literally every single poster that bashes the Magic told you to place a bet when the lines came in ultra low for Orlando. Friggin' Grizz had to step in and take on what should have been your bet.

Then, when you got excited by a regular season record that feasted on low-tier teams (to a goofy degree), the posters here told you to STFU because the Magic weren't going to do shit when the field was narrowed to average+ teams.

And then...they got their cheeks clapped by another average team.

You took nothing but Ls last year on the Magic after about the 23rd regular season game or so.

Imagine thinking gambling makes a real man

You can't make this shit up
Smh

I did nothing but win last year while you did nothing but get triggered by it and trying desperately to spin it like you are now and will be all season

Your post is all autism

Pretty sure winning 0.000 playoff series doesn't constitute "winning" for any franchise worth a shit.
