Basketball is (almost) back! Like any tragic sports fan I always inevitably find myself daydreaming about the best-case scenario in the weeks leading up to the season opener, crafting absurdly optimistic outcomes for the majority of the Orlando roster. Looking back on 2017-2018 it’s probably safe to say that not one single player met the lofty predictions I made, which goes a long way towards explaining the season’s calamitous results. In fact, a superstitious fan would likely suggest that the whole thing is my damn fault.
Well, instead of trying to pull off the more complicated reverse-jinx I’ve decided to double down this year and formally roll out a set of optimism-fueled guesses that will have Magic fans jumping out of their seats.
