Feels like a 4-4 finish will give the Magic the division and keep them above the play in.
Magic number for them is now 4. Portland, Charlotte, Chicago, Vs Bucks at home game 82 should get it done. I think Philly is out of the top 6 seeds and Miami has a rough stretch of Knicks,Sixers, @ Houston, @ Pacers, @Atl...they have to win 3 of those. If Indy loses one of these next 2 Nets game it would be hard for them to overtake the Magic. They could even catch Cleveland if they win 5 or 6 more.
Today's game looked like they figured out better action for Paolo.. he showed more variety in what parts of the floor he was operating from. Additionally, when he did try and attack off the dribble from out high he moved more east-west and he was quicker in his decisions. So if he found something and catches fire they could shut the door on Indy, Philly, and Miami and possibly still get to 3.
