Thud.
That is the only sound that could describe the Orlando Magic and their seeming freefall from the highest of highs at the beginning of the season. The 6-2 start feels a distant memory as the team dropped its fourth straight game and its sixth in the last eight games.
The team was expected to fall back to earth. But not like this. Not in the same way that left everyone within the Magic organization asking themselves very real questions about themselves and their makeup. The kind of questions that led to the change that came in the summer.
