The Orlando Magic’s first quarter of the season was a roller coaster in many ways. The team got off to a fast start and had everyone believing in them again. The Magic were the talk of the league. Everyone wondered if the Magic were the surprise team to rise out of the Eastern Conference.
Everyone also seemed to know the team’s shooting percentages were going to come back down to earth. No one took the Magic as the best team in the Eastern Conference seriously. But there was plenty of belief the Magic could leap into the Playoff conversation.
