The Orlando Magic are a bad basketball team.
With a record of just 5-20 and currently looking up in the standings at … well, everyone, it’s not exactly a bold proclamation to make. The Magic have sunk all the way to the bottom of the league, and the broad stroke facts make for some grim reading. At this moment in time the Magic:
- Have secured the fewest wins
- Have suffered the most losses
- Are sporting the fourth worst differential
- Rank 27th by offensive rating
- Rank 27th by defensive rating
- Concede the highest two-point field goal percentage in the league
- Attempt less three-pointers than all bar five teams
- Give up more three-point attempts than all bar three teams
- Turn the ball over with the second greatest frequency
- Are bottom third league-wide in forcing opponent turnovers
And, as is seemingly tradition, or an old town charter, or something:
- Have been subject to the greatest number of man games lost (again)
- Have not been subject to the greatest number of win shares lost to unavailability (again)
As can be seen, the overall picture is not a pretty one.
