After starting the season 5-20 last year, the Orlando Magic have their 5th win of the season in 9 games to start the 2023-2024 season. (alien.top)

This is really just highlighting the horrific start the Magic had last season. Not a lot of people may realize how bad it was since they ended up being somewhat close to a play in spot at the end of the season. Just a neat little stat.

This team looks so good man, seems like they have good chemistry too.

You ain’t gonna credit the rockets for this though? We did even worse last season

The Joe Ingles affect

They could easily have an even better record but do young team things in the 4th quarter.

We accelerated their rebuild by years lol

Big turn around. How bid would it be if they win the in-season tournament?

COMPLETELY HEALED

Ok is it just me, I swear like every year (maybe not as much last year) the Magic get off to a surprisingly good start, then just shit the bed after like 15 games. Feels like every year I'm surprised at their start and then things return to normal soon after.

So what you're saying is a 5-20 start is still possible this season!

[–] RonnocFjord@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I probably worded it a little poorly. The Magic’s 5th win last year improved their record to 5-20.

Don't be fooled, your team sucks.

The Magic play extremely hard on defense, it's fun to watch!

Playing with the energy/intensity they do on defense alone will get them to 35-39 wins this year. If they have a few things go right on offense it might get into the 40's.

Love to see what they are cooking down in Orlando for the future!
