I think the last doom and gloom moment was the first quarter against some scrub team where we were getting shellacked, but we ended up coming back and winning that game. Forget which game it was though

Edit: against the Hawks on Feb 20.

The doom and gloom started to dissipate when they won at Cleveland IMO.

For the majority of fans probably but some people have different tolerance for Paolo's struggles and different evaluations for Suggs' impact.

not gonna lie, I immediately wrote off the Cavs W as "they were due for a loss" ... but it was more of a let's wait and see write-off.

After the Hawks game, I think the 3 game home stretch earlier this month (losing to toronto, toronto, and Chicago) was what had me ready to start watching the WNBA or men's fieldhockey instead of the NBA

Those were odd losses for sure, but felt random

This is a game, even though it's the 2nd night of a back-to-back, that the Magic really need to go ahead and just win.

Charlotte is only 1 game ahead of New Orleans for the 3rd worst record so they are certainly motivated to keep on losing in their efforts to Capture the Flagg.

The last 3 game winning streak was the 6 game winning streak from November 21 to December 1.

The last back-to-back sweep was November 12 and 13 against Charlotte and Indiana.

Then why LeMelo Ball is playing?
