our season is over if we dont beat the bobcats in our next game. It will put us at 4 under going into a game against the suns and a rough last month. So this next game really IS our season. I used to be hoping for a higher seed, maybe the 4 seed. Now i just hope we can get into the playoffs for maybe 5 or 6 bonus games and a little excitement.

Not only would the playoffs mean bonus Magic games, but it would give invaluable experience to some of our younger guys, and would be a nice accomplishment for our new squad.

Also, it would generate some buzz in the Orlando community...

i would love to see us make the playoffs, but I gotta defer to the Jim Mora voice here. "P-p-p-PLAYOFFS? You kidding me? Playoffs?!"

To those who are saying we'll get embarressed: so what? Its not like it'll be the first time we got swept in a playoff series.

I want these guys to get the experience of playing in the playoffs, and its not like we're a guaranteed lock to lose every single game of a seven game series against either Miami or Detroit.

Bring on the playoffs. Just making the playoffs will be a huge step forward this year.

MM, I see your point, I think I said it on another thread also, I keep thinking if we make it to the playoffs, it will be the 8th seed and see Miami, I just hate to loose to the Heat, I guess because of the rivalry between cities, but as you said it getting experience would be good.

I guess there is no worst embarrassment than getting swept in the finals, done that! :(

That's the one thing that I'll hate seeing is if we play Shaq and the Heat in the first round and have a poor showing. But, in my honest opinion, I'd rather see us make the playoffs and lose to them than not make the playoffs at all.

I know some will disagree with me, but I just think it would be best for the team...even though a lot of fans don't want to see us lose to the Heat.

it is all just falling apart. we have about 4 players that arent suspended or hurt. Anyway i definitely want to go to the playoffs no matter how bad we lose. At least we could catch fire and do some damage.

extrememly doubtful not unless francis displays some of the intensity he had at the beginning of the year.I think he will because even if he doesn't want to stay in ORL he will play good so he could improve his stock on the trade market.Howard,nelson,and hill still need francis to help out a lot.

If you do a search on the wav file you should be able to find it. I have the file on my computer and played it with my friends during almost every Miami Dolphins game we watched. My poor dolphins...
