Yep. I predict no moves for us until the deadline and they won't be big ones, or the ones everyone wants.

Magic being a better younger version of us is kinda of hilarious and sad.

Try looking at the schedule.

We have played 8 games vs the top 6 teams in the league. They have played 2.

So ? It’s not like we beat the bad teams in a convincing manner. Lost to Portland without their best player and barely won against the wizards on their back to back. Needed an all time quarter from Scottie to beat the Spurs without their arguably best player.

We just haven’t even playing good basketball period.

Sengun is legit good, but his poise and calm demeanor stood out to me.

So Kawhi hasn't missed a game yet. 11 in a row now. Despite his claim to the contrary, it seems the league's new policy is indeed "helping (him) to play more games" lol

So ignore we won 3/8 of those games vs the top teams in the league and lost by 3 in another?

all by playing bad

But again, the point remains that 8/12 of our games are against the top 6 teams. Orlando doesn't get to that 8 game mark until game 25. Very different schedule strengths.

Freddy got them rolling to the playoffs!
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

We pushed our chips in for the nba title and the talent attrition after is part of the reason we are here. The magic have sucked forever accumulated draft capital and are marginally better than the raptors. Seems pretty sad for the magic
