The Magic have the 2nd best record in the east. I look at their roster and don’t see a ton more talent than the Pistons. So what is it about their roster construction or chemistry that makes us look like dog stink in comparison?

    Defense and Bench is the difference , you hit the nail on the head.

    We are trash defensively even though we play defense oriented lineups most of this season. This is part coaching problem part GM problem.

    We have a trash bench even though our starters take up a miniscule amount of cap space. This is majority a GM problem, and a small bit injury / coaching problem.

    If Killian defended and forced turnovers like Jalen Suggs we would be having a completely different conversation, weirdly enough. I didn’t know a guard defender could actually be the head of the snake in that way. Like , other than Isaac and Suggs, wouldn’t ausar thompson be the Magics best defender ?
