Are they really that good? Or is this a fluke?
We're playing very well, but feel like we're catching teams unaware. Once teams start showing some respect we might struggle a bit more.
I don't quite understand how the Magic are doing so well right now. I like their defense, but they don't seem to have that much spacing. At best, they're an average team on offense. Their success doesn't look sustainable.
The pessimist in me agrees with you, but they've kept it going longer than I thought they would and still seem to be improving. The more confidence they get, the more their shots are dropping. We also have some extremely slithery paint finishers who can do a lot with very little spacing.
Well I hope this is the real deal. It's good to see them succeeding. I'm particularly rooting for Jonathan Isaac to get better.
Defense is elite with insane length and athleticism. We have elite finishers in the paint and usually dominate the painted area. Crash the offensive glass a ton to offset some of our shooting struggles and create many turnovers to get out on the break.
That’s how.
