Can Orlando make a run?

[90sgoat]

Probably the team I like to watch the most in the East.

Banchero and Wagner are both very talented, physical and versatile.

Big win over Hawks despite their stars struggling with their shots.

[Nowoco]

No. They have the worst 1st round matchup they could get and no HCA. I like them but if they take two games it will be a surprise.

Against Cavs or Celtics?

I hope they surprise and steal some games. They are pretty much the same team as last year, but one year improved for Wagner, Paolo and Wendell.

[Xiao Yao You]

Against boston? :facepalm

[theman93]

No. We can’t shoot lol

[90sgoat]

No. We can’t shoot lol

Wasn't that also the problem last year with your guards?

[SouBeachTalents]

Absolutely, Finals here they come.

Wasn't that also the problem last year with your guards?

Not just the guards, the whole team can’t shoot. KCP was supposed to come in and help that but he’s been a massive disappointment

[Wally450]

Absolutely, Finals here they come.

This. No ones beating them.

[Mask the Embiid]

Hopefully. Fingers crossed

[Neal Romer]

CAN they? Like, it is POSSIBLE?

No.


But if youre asking will they?

Also no.

[Neal Romer]

I am curious to see how effectively the Magic bully the C's front court. KP and JT are good defenders on balance but theyre very chicken-legged and susceptible to getting bulldozed down low, which is the Magic's primary playstyle.

They wont be able to keep up with the C's three point onslaught for a whole series but they may be able to ragdoll them a bit offensively and I would like to see it.

[90sgoat]

In any case, I'd never watch the Celtics to watch the Celtics, so it's good that Orlando will play them.

[ImKobe]

They had the 2nd best defense this season and Paolo can probably equal Tatum in terms of output and Franz is a solid #2, but they've been the worst 3PT shooting team for 2 seasons now so I don't see how that's gonna work out against the Celtics. Probably good enough to get 1-2 games but not good enough to get to a Game 7.

[HylianNightmare]

Paulo and Franz haven't had enough time to work together, they kinda peaked separately this season. Fran shots completely cooked, the hitch is crazy. Mo and suggs out. I'm not buying Gary Harris and Corey Joseph carrying the backup guard spots. Not enough bigs to throw at Kristap. Love the magic and i want to believe but id be pumped if towers took even 2 games

[iamgine]

No but they can put a very tough mileage to any playoff team.
