The Magic seem to belong in the lottery one week, the playoffs the next week, and back in the lottery the week after that.
After an ugly four-game losing streak, the Magic earned what seemed to be season-saving back-to-back victories over the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets. They have since lost three straight, including an overtime loss to the Pistons, a blown 20-plus point lead to the Nets, and a lackluster defense performance against the well-rested Bucks.
So, for Magic fans, the back-and-forth debate those who think the Magic should aim for the lottery and those who believe they should strive for the playoffs wages on.
