There was actually very little to complain about when it comes to the Orlando Magic’s 2019 series. Finding things that “went wrong” is more an activity of form than an actual accounting of things that went wrong.
The season was a smashing success in almost every way.
In any way the team could judge the season it surpassed expectations. The Magic made the playoffs and ended that long losing stretch with a 42-win season. They galvanized around a defensive identity and almost every player took some step forward — even the key ones who struggled (more on that later in the week).
