Orlando Magic draw national TV praise, but even they acknowledge the team’s weakness

There will be a time when hearing the likes of Mike Breen and Hubie Brown calling an Orlando Magic game will not feel special. The team has operated largely in the shadows during the regular season. Even their playoff appearance last year was seen mostly on NBATV or with lower-rung broadcast crews.

In the regular season, at least, the Magic have rarely had the national TV stage.

Their last national television game occurred on the final night of last season, a win over the Charlotte Hornets that clinched the team’s seventh seed in the playoffs.
