It’s still pretty early into the season, but the run that the Magic have been on is pretty crazy. The Raptors have a pretty weak offense, the Magic completely snuffed them out in their game last week.
It didn’t look like they have any major offseason moves either. What changed?

They might be this year’s November NBA Champs!!!
Now, of course, the problem is that there are many more MONTHS of the NBA season.
Not getting swept in the first-round of the playoffs is a great goal. Not trying to be funny. It is their realistic, most crazy ceiling.
We had “ayo the producer” remix our theme song and it’s got the city hype.
Play dat song 🎧
Maybe not trading young pieces is the key? People are so fast with “trade X for y”. Those superstar teams and the only way for some.
Confidence and trust can make a difference. But a guarantee, but chances are there.
Said that, it’s a streak right now and it won’t last forever for a young team. But next streak will be longer and longer I hope.
While I believe in the playoff this season, it won’t get far. But 25 might be a different story.
Magic have a crazy good bench, which makes them very difficult to prepare for in regular season. You tweak your defensive scheme to stop Franz and Paolo, but you have Mo Wagner and Cole Anthony giving you 30 from the bench. I remember I was at the game when Bamba fought Austin Rivers - Magic starters were pretty bad and Wolves got 10-12 points early lead, but Magic bench scored 60-70 points in that game and won it for them.
Don’t even know where to start.
Compared to the Raptors, the Magic have:
- A better bench
- Better starters
- Better prospects
- Better front office
- More experienced coaching staff

Their bench has been super key. Even when the starters are outmatched it feels like the bench always overwhelms the other team’s secondary shifts
