The Orlando Magic are widely considered winners this offseason as they continue to build and develop their young core. The question is: Did that help them advance in the playoff pecking order? Did that give them a better chance at beating the Boston Celtics?

I wouldn't say Magic are the biggest threat yet but, I would say they are the "spiritual successor" to Boston. Stylistically very similar but they need more seasoning and shooting to develop over time.

@maniacslap1623 Ай бұрын

I felt like we matched up well with Boston before KCP. They like .500 against us since Paolo came.

Tbh all magic gotta do is improve FT shooting as constructed and they can win 5-10 games more during the season and definitely make it to the 2nd round in playoffs .. Magic dropped too many close games including that 113-112 Game 5 loss in Cleveland that was the deciding game in the series because of missing wayyyy too many free throws . The combination of having a lockdown backcourt with KCP and free throw improvements magic can be contenders. Magic have proven that their good defense and attacking the paint is a winning formula

I disagree that the Magic season depends on Paolo. I think Orlando’s season rides on Franz. I know Paolo is going to continue to get better but if Franz gets back to shooting 45% and 35-38% from deep Orlando will be set.

@KyLions Ай бұрын

We are considered winners because the Free Agency pool was that bad lmao. We aren't close to challenging Boston unless Franz becomes a 40% 3 point shooter. If he does we can talk

@JustinMuzzy-gw2cg Ай бұрын

Wrong ..... Franz does need to find his shot again, and Cole too But ft's meant more last year

@kylegreenfield3627 Ай бұрын

Orlando is closer than You realize

@halftime814 Ай бұрын

Franz will get better but before Boston traded for prozingis our size was a problem for them I think lowkey they saw that and traded for him , I keep telling ppl magic are Celtics future rival team they roster is right on par with the Celtics, magic have a better bench than the Celtics too, only thing that gives Boston the edge is that they have 2 establish stars where our 2 stars are still developing there game

@Lucretius824 Ай бұрын

Best defensive backcourt in the league is Jrue Holiday and Derrick White. Magic are probably #2 or #3. OKC is in there with Dort, Caruso and Shai

@MakeMeAPie Ай бұрын

Good young team, a threat to Boston ? Nope, not yet.☘

@harpersdad9829 Ай бұрын

I would argue any defender would struggle against Anthony Edwards

@YourWorstNightmare3333 Ай бұрын

Franz don’t struggle against him

@mercaderrifty6709 Ай бұрын

It's such a stupid talking point. Stars go off and it doesn't matter who is guarding them. Jrue Holiday got absolutely cooked by Jimmy Butler a year ago and now no one remembers because of this year's playoffs 😂

this team wont even beat cleveland in a 7gm series if the series started again today....😅 only reason this series went 7 gms is because jarret allen missed the last 3 games and donovon knee was hurt and he was still dropping 50 on us. magic did nothing to fix their issues. beat cleveland first before u talk about beating boston

@JustinMuzzy-gw2cg Ай бұрын

Ok we will.... Ft's alone would've won that series... Absolute fact!!!! We start hitting 3s, sure we can beat anybody... Last year proved that... But if we hit ft's, we win another 8 games minimum... And we destroy Cleveland in that series Try again, or maybe do some research to back up your couch claims

@stevec4189 Ай бұрын

@@JustinMuzzy-gw2cg thats the problem u clown this team struggles shooting threes and free throws. this team also struggled bigtime at the pg position which resulted in high turnovers which the magic did not address. the magic ranked in the bottom 10 in offense and in 3pt made for over a decade maybe u should do ur research u clown

@maniacslap1623 Ай бұрын

Cleveland could barely get over 100 pts WITH Mitchell going off against our defense. If it started again today, Mitchell most likely doesn’t repeat that shyt, Jarret Allen probably stays healthy and we come away with the dub due to Franz having one fewer bad shooting night.

@stevec4189 Ай бұрын

@@maniacslap1623 lmao what ever helps u sleep at night... donovan dropped 50 on a bum knee imagine him on 2 good knees.. plus garland was out a while due to his jaw injury in which he clearly wasnt the same when he returned. allen owned the boards against orl.. cavs are just a better team simple as that and also upgraded their coaching. cleveland had an injury excuse magic just flat out couldnt shoot or score

@halftime814 Ай бұрын

Yall couldn't even sweep a young orlando squad or even crack 100pts against them and we only getting better while Cleveland are pretty much what they are..lol
