The Orlando Magic have finally admitted it. Well, kind of.
There were some slight admissions Tuesday from Frank Vogel and even some players that the Playoffs in 2017 were likely out of reach. The Magic are 6.5 games out of the final Playoff spot with 24 games to play. FiveThirtyEight’s projection system gives the Magic a less than one percent chance to make the Playoffs this year.
The 2017 Playoffs are a little bit of a pipe dream at the moment, even if general manager Rob Hennigan closed his press conference after acquiring Terrence Ross by saying the 2017 Playoffs were still the goal.
