Speaking of avatar changes.....

Paging Bafugama to the NBA 2009/2010 Season thread....

Time to pay the piper, Magic are at 49 wins....any suggestions fellas?

(via the NBA offseason thread earlier this summer)

I personally haven't even weighed in with an opinion on this, even though I've been getting pounced on for apparently using poor numbers to illustrate a point, but I think that the Magic take a step back next year. I think they win 44-47 games and end up as the 5, 6, or 7 seed in the playoffs, promptly going out in the first round. I don't like the changes they've made. Vince Carter is a huge downgrade team-wise, and I think that'll be the move that really hurts them down the road.

There's your avatar if you lose. What's the specifics of the wager? # of wins? Playoff success? I think they're going to win 44-47 games and go out in the first round.

I'm going to do some searching for your avatar....
