It only took 15 years. 5 coaches. Countless wasted draft picks. So many cash considerations.

But we did it guys. We winners again*

I look forward to losing in Round 1 to the Knicks.

*Besides that one year we made the playoffs and got murdered by Toronto.

Was at the Scott Skiles 30 assist game all those years ago. Magic and Nuggets had probably 11 wins combined. Was a race track. frick all you Rockets fans that thought that queer Dwight Howard was the truth. That hypocrite held the franchise hostage for years.

Him and Franz are good pieces.

The team needs a true SG to be a contender. I consider it their biggest mistake at the trade deadline.

Gary Harris isn't winning you ballgames in the playoffs. This was a huge missed opportunity for this team to take the next step.

Black was such an obvious waste of a pick. Marginally athletic 6’7” point guard with a broken shot

Was coming to post this. The front court is so young and exciting and the guard play is just so meh. Jalen Suggs will show flashes and then have nights like last night with barely any scoring and no ball distribution. At least he’s a good defender.

I want to see them get a dynamic 2 guard this offseason in some capacity without breaking up any core pieces.

I went to the first inaugural season game of the Orlando Magic back in 1989 - been a huge fan ever since. It's the ONLY NBA game I will ever watch. I honestly can't stand the NBA, but I love watching the Magic.

Love how JI is becoming the Minister of Defense again and I love Paolo. I truly think we have our Lebron James out of this guy.

I just wished Cole would be more consistent every night.

Having said all of that, I don't see us making it past round 1.

We beat up on the teams that we are supposed to win but we absolutely suck against any decent team (unless that team is on a back to back road game or have a few key players sitting out)

Our schedule this past month or so has been an absolute joke.

I think we are still 2 seasons away from being a force to deal with - that is if the Front Office can keep them all together.

It's hard to be a young NBA star playing in Orlando. I totally understand why players want to leave as soon as their contract expires.

If the FO can keep this thing together and get that one piece we are missing - Watch Out - Dynasty might be in the works - especially with our head coach who motivates the hell out of the players.

I am just glad to see Magic fans FINALLY moving on from wanting to TANK every season.
