Is Orlando Peaking Too Early?

Yeah we didn't even hit our peak. I mean what did we do this week that we haven't done all season? We're winning but we're also playing sub-.500 teams. So thats why we're winning by a larger margin. I mean we almost lost to a depleted Heat roster..let Pacers crawl back to the game. We beat the Cavs but we also played a brutal first half. What indicated that we hit our peak? But of course winning is always great and we're finally beating the teams we should beat. Something this team hasn't done in a long time.

we always knew the Magic would have a weaker tail end of the schedule and we always hoped it would pave the way for them to start to gel. PLUS, the Magic have been strong starters and finishers in recent years, so i kind of expect a good late season charge. this is great for them. get hot now, get the confidence now, and go into the playoffs all guns blazing.

Solid Snake. awesome. just awesome.

Are we really peaking ? I don't really see us peaking right now.

In fact we aren't playing great, we're just playing OK.
We're winning despite playing some bad games.

i dont think we're peaking because we simply are not playing that good basketball..we're winning, sure, but its not been that good to watch at times.

but i'll take the wins any day and save the peak for the playoffs

I think the team is capable of playing better than it has this season. But I actually think the players have looked tired in some games recently. Not that they are not trying, but they are just a step slower sometimes or they foul sometimes when they normally wouldn't. Like in the Wizards game. It was just one game, but they have played stretches of the past few games the same way they played all of Wednesday night. Most of the time, it doesn't cost them the game because they play just well enough to win. I wonder if they already have played big minutes in so many games that they won't have enough left. I might just be overreacting to Wednesday's loss, but I remember thinking during parts of the past few games that they looked a step slow.
