There is a different vibe around Orlando Magic practice these days.
Friday’s final preseason game left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth but the prospect of what comes next is too tantalizing. The NBA season is getting ready to begin. The eagerness to get going for the Orlando Magic’s opener Wednesday at the Amway Center against the Miami Heat is palpable. Not only because it is against a hated rival.
It is the first day of school in many ways. Or the next big day on the calendar.
Practices have changed now with the Magic preparing for a real game.
