Our schedule is favorable the rest of the way. Got to keep chipping away at Sixers and Knicks.

Knicks will lose some more I guess, as well the 6ers. It’s all about health right now it seems, even 4th is not off the table. Let’s pray we are done with injuries for this season…

We have the Thunder tonight so that may be short lived lol.
But we can’t lose on Shaq Night! Gotta get that dub.

As long as there’s no bullshit fouls, we got tonight.

The coolest thing? Standing pat at the deadline while being above teams that DID make a move.

Boston 99.999999% out of reach, Cleveland has been streaking lately even if they dropped the last game.
Milwaukee might be interesting but Doc has always been a good regular season coach so I don’t see Orlando catching up to them either, though it’s not as if six games is unheard of.
Knicks are a bit of a peculiar thing cause they seemed to have won at the deadline but they also announced Anunoby is out for minimum three weeks and he’s about their only real + defender in the starting lineup apart from Robinson (who’s also injured); meanwhile, Sixers without Embiid, while they won the last two, have been sliding down hard, and part of me expects them to flat out not bring him back until the end of the season – unless they want to completely ruin his knees, anyway.
While it’s not exactly probable, “if everything goes right” I could see a push all the way up to 3rd seed; most realistic is between 4th and (probably) 5th though, assuming the Magic make a jump to begin with. Otherwise 6-8th is going to be a dogfight.
Worth mentioning is that while (in the regular season) any team can beat any other team on any night, Orlando’s chances are higher in that their remaining strength of schedule is dead last in the league (as in easiest) while for each of the three teams above them it’s in the top half – and one thing the Magic have been relatively consistent in this season is beating teams they’re “supposed to” beat.
