Playoff aspirations still realistic for 2018 Orlando Magic
After an embarrassing 40-point loss to the Utah Jazz, it is still playoffs or bust for the Orlando Magic. And they have the tools to make it.
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.
