On today’s episode of Locked On Magic, Zach Oliver of Orlando Pinstriped Post posed an interesting question: Is it beneficial for the Orlando Magic to play a non-NBA team in the preseason? What could the team game from playing supposedly “weaker” competition (and the Brazilian league is not exactly Euroleague)?
It is true, the Magic should feel like they can win this game. And the expectation is for the team to win it easily. Especially if the starters play any extended time.
Then again, results do not matter as much in the preseason.
