Orlando Magic’s Road Trip SUCCESS: What It Means for the Playoff chase



Orlando Magic’s Road Trip SUCCESS: What It Means for the Playoff chase

The Orlando Magic returned home with a surprising 3-2 road trip. That has the team seemingly back on track as they play the final 13 games and the season’s final month. Orlando must hope it can carry the momentum from the road trip back home as they begin a critical string of games for their playoff chase.

Orlando is first looking for consistency so the team can start stacking wins. That is most exemplified in Anthony Black, who is coming off a big game in the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers but has often struggled to match good games. The Magic will hope to do that Wednesday against the Houston Rockets as their chase for seventh with the Atlanta Hawks only tightens.

  1. One of my biggest problems with you it is very, very disappointing you so quick to do a whole segment about how Paolo struggle, but you’ll do one sentence about Franz struggling just wow P5 be called out by u so much

  2. AB is barely over 21 and one of the youngest players in the league. He needs time to mature and grow

  3. Just so you don’t think I’m making this up a couple episodes ago you talked about Franz struggling from the three in your wording was pretty much we don’t need to say the percentage but P5 struggle you bring up his percentage how he’s struggling from the field and the three-point line

  4. Credit needs to be given to Corey Joseph who is doing his best imitation of a PG and even that is enough to win games

  5. Corey Joseph has been amazing for us right now. Having an actual point guard helps Paolo and Franz. Are you seeing this Weltman?

  6. All the time Magic invested into Gary Harris I think AB worth holding on to and I like the Magic to rally up and go on a run this home stand 🤧

  7. Seems like Paolo has made an effort to rebound more lately… Do you think rebounding is an effort thing with him?
