Off the top of my head our current players who can physically play

Markelle Fultz (Restriction)
Nikola Vucevic
DJ Augustin
Khem Birch
Wes Iwundu
Gary Clark
James Ennis
Melvin Frazier Jr
Vic Law (2 Way)
BJ Johnson (2 Way)

2 of those players were acquired after not making 15 man rosters elsewhere. Another 5 of them weren't getting minutes in the Magics own rotation with a healthy team.

Giannis could sit out the entire first round and we will still get swept

How do you guys still have dj Augustin

I feel like he is the perennial "we could trade this guard, people would want him, right?"

We have been on the periphery of the playoffs last 2 seasons so probably been a case of not getting a good enough offer to let him go. He was shooting like 40%+ from 3 last season. He was also our starting PG until Fultz started playing and we had no idea what Fultz was going to be like at season start

Magic's PG depth in recent years has also been trash.

DJ is a likely candidate to be let go this off-season when his contract expires.

I was listening to a Suns podcast and they said imagine if the Suns went 8-0, missed the playoffs, and got the 1st overall pick

Also Suns are 6-0 could I be more erect

The Spurs can't actually keep the Suns out!

Suns are 7-0 after beating the Sixers bench just need 1 more win and another Blazers or Grizzlies loss (preferably both)

We can beat them if it gets to an 8/9 match between them

Oh right I was counting the play-in as part of the playoffs

Also most recent playoff result was a Suns sweep in 2010 so we hold the rivalry belt imhotbqh

Giannis suspended for tomorrow's game against the Grizzlies :/

A desperate Memphis team against the Bucks with no Giannis and nothing to play for does not bode well for my Suns

Nor does Portland playing the Nets

giannis wasn't playing anyway. i'd worry more about beating dallas - they're well coached to perform even without their stars

To be fair, we already beat Dallas once in the bubble with their stars! They're not good at closing games out either

Of course, the primary concern is beating Dallas but that's the part the Suns can actually control. Even if they win though they could miss the playoffs if both Memphis and Portland win

yes but if the Grizzlies and Suns both win and the Blazers lose than they're out and Memphis would be the 8 seed and the Suns would be in the play-in game

gotcha, didn't know that you could have a shot even with the grizz winning!

Normal Raptors fan: Wow once again the NBA fucks with the Raptors, giving them zero primetime games in the first round despite them being the defending champion.

Me, A Raptors fan currently in Europe for the year: Wow what a great schedule for the Raptors, it's all primetime games!

Raptors games are still better times than the Magic/Bucks.

Magic/Bucks have 3 games at 1pm or 130pm. 2 of which are midweek. That's just ridiculous scheduling. It's going to be a sweep but to have basically 3 of the games at an unwatchable time is crazy

Blazers won their last 3 games by 3, 3, and 1 point. The basketball gods wanted them to make it

Oh well. The Suns going 8-0 and still missing the playoffs (despite Memphis being god awful) just proves why they never should have been there in the first place. It was cool to watch though!
