i'll go for 50! yes...50! I think they can make it if everyone is healthy and at least second round of the playoff (with magicfan3's guranteed)
46 wins and hopefully pass the 1st round. I'm not gonna guarantee anything. Too many things can happen in the NBA, surprising trades, long losing streaks, and injuries.
I predict a magical run all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, where the Magic will lose to the Pistons in 5. I think Orlando has a chance of making the playoffs as a fourth seed with about 48 wins, and beat Philadelphia or Boston in the first round. Then, they'll go on to face the number one seed Indiana and prevail in 7 behind a great effort from Francis. However, they will lose steam and lose to Detroit, still a great season.

I hope the Rockets get nowhere (sorry Trip) because I am anti-Tmac now
Barring any major injury problems, I'm going to say that the Magic should have no problems winning more than 50 games this year. I'm pretty optimistic about the team we have now and I think that JD is doing a wonderful coaching them. I'm hoping that people give him a chance though and realize that last year is just that, last year. The team is going to become much more cohesive and start playing better together and therefore is just going to get better.
Trip, i would love that to happen. I really hope that happens . GL to magic and the rockets. What would be interesting(but unrealistic) would be Magic vs. Rockets in the finals
45-52 games, at least semi... if we make it to the easter conference finals I think we could pull an upset lol, yes.. I think it depends what happens with Artest, O'Neal and Wallace after what happened.. that would only leave Shaq and... I guess LeBron to compete.
