Orlando Magic’s NBA Cup lessons: What they mean for the future
Last year, the Orlando Magic used their NBA Cup experience to launch them into the Playoffs. Will the Magic’s advancement into the quarterfinals have a similar boost for this year’s team?
The Magic had different goals between this year and last year’s edition of the tournament. But they amount to the same thing: Proving they belong in their playoff conversation and gaining confidence for the final three-quarters of the season.
Only time will tell if the Magic’s push to the knockout round pays the same dividends this time around.

Yeah can I say something Locked On Magic I was told in the 2Min report that the Milwaukee bucks had cheated against the Orlando Magic no I don't know if that's true or not but that's what the 2Min many report said.? Locked On Magic
The Cup is a great measuring device for the team to use on how they compare against the top teams in their division in order to make adjustments for the second half of the season! So yes it matters
Did you watch the Wagner Documentary?
We need a PG and MOSLY needs to stop playing COLE ANTHONY AND GARY HARRIS. Which will resolve most of the issues.
