Titles are overrated
The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
Zero people here think that’s happening….right?
Or do the Magic have believers that this isn’t a massive fluke due to turn into a play in spot any minute now?

Good college starter
Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
100% not a fluke.
Defense is legit, best bench in the league, Franz and Paolo are all-star worthy, Suggs is All-Defensive Team worthy, Cole is 6MOTY worthy, and we are on an 8 game winning streak without our starting PG and C. Mosley got these boys cookin

They are going to fall back to earth soon

Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
Not a fluke but 59 is a bit much. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s like 53 or something though.
They seem hungry and play with way more energy than most.

Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
one of the best defenses and one of the best /and maybe deepest/ benches is something that you can lean on. Not 59 maybe even not 50 wins, but getting a homecourt doesnt seem absurd right now. 2 starters are missing too and actually they can turn into some decent trade package down the road.

Little of both most likely.
They had a few game stretch where they were facing teams with missing key stars.
Still, a win is a win. The Clippers just lost to a Nuggets team missing Murray, Jokic, and Gordon. So you gotta give the Magic credit for beating who’s in front of them.
I havent watched em but it would surprise me if they sustain this kind of win ing percentage.

Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
Magic don't have a superstar but currently everyone's playing like a legit 3rd best player in any team. If your 7th man plays at the level of a 3rd option then you're good.

Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
Magic are legit this year. They've had a relatively easy schedule so far, so they'll most likely end up with less than 59 wins, but who knows.

They're good. Not 59 wins good. I think about 42-45 wins is a fair estimate.

The Magic are a trash
Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
Definitely not sniffing 60 wins but let me dream for now

Re: The Magic are on pace to win 59 games.
Here's a good breakdown of their defense:
Key points:
- Ridiculous amount of length and size (Goga, Paolo, Franz, Isaac, WCJ..)
- Big long/strong/athletic guards who are amazing at navigating screens, point-of-attack defense, and rotating (Suggs, Black, Anthony, Fultz...)
- Amazing defense in transition/semi-transition/after missing a shot (league average offensive rating on these possessions = 120; Magic defensive rating when defending these possessions = 107)
- Jonathon Isaac crazy versatile and dominant (Magic has a 97 defensive rating with him on the court)
