I just went through game by game, and tried my best to remain unbiased (I didn’t do a very good job) and tried to factor in things like back to backs and momentum. I had us going 42-40 (remember I’m a diehard fan so I’m always going to be on the optimistic side), that being said I do think that could be a realistic record depending on how well Drummond and English play coupled with the continued development of Brandon’s point guard skills and Monroe’s defense/rebounding. Stuckey has the ability to be a stud, which he demonstrated in several stretches last year. As long as he remains consistent and healthy he can take on some of the scoring burden off of Maggette.

I actually think if Dwight is traded around then, ESPN might want to keep the game to show the “new look” Magic in action.

Wow we start off with the first game at home and then a 6 game road trip. This could be viewed in a bad way but or it could bring the team together earlier as a tight unit. If they can come out of this early stretch with a .500 record then it could set up our season nicely…or i guess it could bring the downfall of it too.

18 back-to-back series(36 games) this season! I haven’t looked at other teams schedules, but that seems like a lot. I know the Pistons were very strong a few years back with back-to-back, but this seems tougher given the youth of our team. More notably, December looks like a hellish month.

38 – 44. Thats my prediction. Not sure if its good enough for a playoff spot but I’m sure they’ll be more entertaining to watch.

The schedule makers really do not do us any favors again to begin the season. 6 game western conference road trip…looks like we’ll be tested early.
