Yet again, it seems the introductory line for the weekly preview goes pretty much the same. The Magic finished another week 2-1. Two good, satisfying wins against bottom or mid-level teams (the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets) plus a hard-fought but eventual loss to a top-tier team (Miami Heat).
The Magic have been stuck in this cycle for a while now. While it should be applauded the Magic are taking care of these lesser teams, it is still a source of frustration for fans, and surely the team too, that they cannot quite break into a streak, show their skills off against a big team and get that leap up the standings they have been eyeing for a month or so.
