The Orlando Magic’s 2018 season did not go according to plan, it is safe to say.
True, the team itself put very few expectations on the year. No one would make the same Playoff guarantees they made the year before. Everyone was confident that continuity would bring improvement but cautious to buy in fully with new management watching and not taking the big risks they made the year before.
No matter how anyone cut it, the team did not reach anywhere near its full potential or any of its goals. It was a disastrous 25-win season.
