Early this season, the Orlando Magic have shown progress.
Aaron Gordon appears to have taken a big step in his development. Evan Fournier has been consistent. Throw in a few big wins against championship contenders and it has been a pretty good start for Orlando.
That start has since slowed. The team’s flaws are apparent. And it feels more like Orlando is the 30-win team everyone expected rather than the potential 40-win Playoff team.
Things have looked bleak in losing six of their past eight games. But their goals should remain the same.
