At 10-5 the Magic are tied for the 2nd best record in the East and 4th best record in the NBA through 15 games. Lots to like about this team to start season.

Reminder that the Jazz started 10-3 last season

This team was above .500 when Fultz was healthy last year. Jazz were also a decent team when Conley was healthy but once they traded him they fell off

So many people talked s*it about the Magic just a few months ago (I'm not talking about LeBron but nephew fans) but now everyone jumps on the wagon.

We need one for the Bucks too lol

Clearly this means the Magic and Timberwolves are meeting in the finals

[–] EwingsRevenge21@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Orlando and Minnesota?

Hey NBA, be prepared for the highest ratings ever!

😂

[–] ReapYerSoul@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It would be fitting since both teams entered the league together.

[–] agulde28@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I’d prefer OKC vs Orlando.

[–] Etzutrap@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wasn't there a season a few years ago where the 1-seeds after like 15 games were the Magic and the mid-rebuild grizzlies? People were getting hyped for that matchup.

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Timberwolves ain’t in 2nd

[–] I-only-play-rubick@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Let’s not pretend we all did not expect a Wolves vs. Magic finals matchup this year

Pat Bev is going to take the credit for this

using the lords name in vain is fucked up.

[–] Threash78@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They lost Bamba

That's not a loss

Got tix for t-wolves/magic because it was much cheaper when the magic came to town, but it is now shaping up to be a good one.

[–] Blowback_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I will admit when I was wrong, I didn't think the magic would be this good already, kinda surprised, it's still early, but good for them

[–] agulde28@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If they keep this up, the magic aren’t a team many teams will want to see in the playoffs. They play hard, fast, are extremely young, and athletic. They also have size and probably one of the best bench’s in the league. I pray they keep this up, because it’s been a long time since we’ve been good.

[–] msw1984@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Second best bench in ppg at 45 behind Pacers at 48.9.

[–] TheyNeedLoveToo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Completely healed

[–] YungSnuggie@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

we start fast every year lol call me around the all star break

[–] LR_Mango@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

... Like 5-20?

[–] sutroheights@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They had our number last year and look even better now.

[–] trevortins@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They are right were they should be they have the mvp so they will be competitive while he’s in his prime but they aren’t as good as last year. Last year they were the best regular season team for much of the year and best comeback team in the nba.

[–] Zeeron1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The east is just so weak lol. There's obviously some top tier teams, but not nearly as much depth and parity as the west still.

[–] Nsfwaccount123xd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They in their feelings but you right

[–] FinanciallySpiritual@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

people wanted Magic and Jonathan isaac to fail so bad

[–] Skolcialism@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Awoo except magical noises

[–] idreamofdouche@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Shoutout to Cody

[–] MagicHoops3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is what we do. I won’t get on the hype train till after New years. Our Magic teams always play good until about New years then it all falls apart.

With our lack of shooting it’s hard for me to believe this is sustainable as much as I want to believe. Really wish we would’ve drafted Hawkins.
