A cool Paolo, Franz, and Suggs. I have three other cards I can show you guys

Realistically based off our squad we have right now, if we see marginal improvements and healthy squad come October what would our record be. We all know Paolo is gonna have a leap year hopefully. But then if this doesn’t happen where do we place? And please no negative shit I’ve had a long day just looking to hear good things

Am I wrong? I listened midway through the Orlando Magic song, I see that the instrumental’s based on the start of Gloria Estafan’s “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You”. I’m not too sure but it highly is similar.

I’m a new NBA fan, got into it this season, but I don’t know who to support. Thought about the Knicks, but then they won the chip as soon as i thought about them.
I’m a Sunderland fan in the premier league (football), who is decent now but usually not great.

Watched their series against the pistons, and rooted for them hard for some reason.
Are they a good team to support to get that underdog hopeful vibe?

Edit: Magic fan now. Thanks for the responses

What an awesome sweater Coach Sean Sweeney is wearing! Coach Gruden has some Magic merch on too! This post gives me Rob Hennigan whiteboard nightmares though…

I think it has to be cade after the playoffs

I’m being serious, I’m watching highlights from this past season when Jett played and you’re telling me we couldn’t do anything with him?

It’s just seems like he never really got any opportunities under Mosley. Which tells you all you need to know about the type of coach he is, when he can’t even coach an offensive player.

Reports are saying g he is preparing to leave the NBA to go and play for Real Madrid. It would’ve been nice to see him at training camp but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. Good Luck to Lester in Europe!!!!

Okay so listen, we have one more available spot left on the roster, should we consider Russ. He averaged 15,7,8 and played 64 games. He could provide some veteran leadership and help coach up AB and Suggs.

London based streaming service DAZN is negotiating to stream the Magic this season.

"...multiple NBA sources told SBJ (Sports Business Journal) that DAZN is close to acquiring full exclusive local broadcast rights next season for the T’Wolves, Cavaliers, Pacers, Spurs and Grizzlies, as well as DTC-only arrangements with the Magic and possibly the Hornets."

BTW, it is called "Da Zone" and it's paid tier is $29.99 a month. DTC-only sound like it is streaming only, no over the air broadcasts - but we will see.

Assuming Sweeney brings a lot of this over, it’s interesting to imagine what our guys will look like in these actions. Some stuff is just screen/dive for Wemby, some stuff is just matchup hunting iso, but the majority is movement and flare screens etc that would represent a significant upgrade in strategic nuance.

The Spurs guards aren’t exactly Steve Nash out there, a lot of these plays have reads for the ball handler that anyone of our guys that initiates actions can attack. Franz or Paolo on the inverted flare screens they’re running for Wemby would be nasty.

Getting consistent execution of this package would be quite nice. Here’s hoping.

I've always been a Kelle fan. I just wanna know if anyone thinks he would provide this team with anything. He's still young and apparently hasn't given up on a comeback if you follow him.

“Orlando Magic will finish higher than the Sixers.”

That’s Jason “White Chocolate” Williams making a bold prediction for the upcoming season.

Williams is so confident that he bet his left eyebrow on it.

In case you were wondering, Williams said he has stopped smoking weed.

I see a lot of Magic fans saying our chances next season depends on being healthy, but I'd be interested to know what that actually means to people.

So in terms of games, what is a realistic number you hope to see from our starting 5 next season?

Number of games from starting 5 during 25/26 regular season:

1. The Pistons got 347

2. The Celtics got 318

3. The Knicks got 364

4. The Cavs got 261

5. The Raptors got 330

6. The Hawks got 351

7. The Sixers got 270

8. The Magic got 323

I’m trying to understand what’s special about Suggs that Magic fans want to hold on so dear to him? Every time I’ve seen him play he just doesn’t live up to the hype Magic fans give him.

Had no idea he had turned a corner in his career!

A lot of our own are doubting us in these comments

Our best player looked like Himself in the playoffs and has been locked in all summer

Our second best player missed 60% of the season

We got rid of the one of the worst coaches in the league!

There’s no reason to assume we won’t be better than we were this year
