Orlando Magic not anywhere near ready to move up a weight class
The Orlando Magic have feasted on bad competition through the early part of the season. When they moved up a weight class, they got exposed in a major way.
The Orlando Magic season has had two turning points, two moments of revelation, two moments of reflection. When LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers suit up against Orlando, it is a measuring stick for any team.
The first time the Magic faced the Cavaliers they were nowhere near ready to measure up. The game proved to be a wake-up call to focus in on defense. That the effort they had played with for the first 14 games was not anywhere near enough.
