Orlando Magic fans have been through a lot since Steve Clifford left with Stan Van Gundy’s dismissal six years ago. It has been a long time since the team has seen a culture take root and work. Things just have not taken root.
Through false starts and poor bets, the team’s expectations are admittedly very low. Everyone wants to manage their excitement when it comes. And even little successes seem to be waiting for that other shoe to drop.
That is all part of the culture problems with Orlando. Even trickling down to the fans.
