The DeVos family sucks.

They do, but despite this, NBA.com says:

The DeVos family purchased the Orlando Magic in September of 1991. Since then, the family has proudly served in its self-appointed role as the franchise's “caretaker” while operating under the belief that the NBA franchise really belongs to the Central Florida community and the loyal Magic fans.

We need to play some better competition


THIS.

We are STILL giving up too many wide OPEN threes and third and fourth swings across the perimeter bc we take heavy risks collapsing on defense. However it HAS gotten slightly better so we will see when we play better 3 shooting teams in a few weeks.

The millions they take in compensation for being 'caretakers' is actually called a tithe to their cult....er, church so isn't taxed either.

We've gone from allowing the 2nd most threes per game in the league to allowing the 2nd least threes per game in the league over the last 14 games.

I'd say that is way more significant than "slightly better" and also can't be explained simply by opponent quality.

Don't disturb people with actual stats when they are using alternative facts....it's impolite.

It has been better.... BUT we also have played a bunch of teams that don't shoot the 3 well. Again it has improved but I still see a bit too many open 3s given up.
