The Orlando Magic are not proving to be a better team than they were last year. At the All-Star Break, the Magic are just a game ahead of last year’s pace at this time last year.
Although the team is a top-five team when it comes to the opponent’s points in the paint and a top-10 team when it comes to defensive rating, the Magic have really struggled with the opposition.
This two-game winning streak against the Atlanta Hawks and the Detroit Pistons feels more like fool’s gold rather than great wins by a Playoff-bound team.
