Orlando Magic have A LOT to clean up. . . they still ANSWER the bell and WIN by 30
The Orlando Magic blew past the Philadelphia 76ers in the second half for a 30-point win in their second preseason game. But there is tons to work on as the Magic prepare for the regular season.
The Magic’s new fast-paced offense continues to show loads of promise. It has come together to give the Magic a clear boost. But the team is still getting it all together and making mistakes that will hurt the team when the games count.
The good news is then that it does feel like the Magic have an extra gear to turn to when the games count. And they are still winning.

A w is a w
Franz gave Oubre the flagrant foul as payback for a dirty pick on WCJ. True, he was frustrated, but he was being a good teammate too.
Phillip seems to be giving them a pass. I hope he's right with this logic and we dont find out that it's just who the Magic are. Because man, the shooting is still abysmal. The spacing doesnt seem great. The rhythm isnt there. WCJ, of all people have been the most promising. Then I see his ass looking injured again and again! I'm like aww, here we go again!
The bench looked great, especially with a 32-8 fourth quarter. Our starting lineup needs to get used to each other and a faster ball-movement offense.
Ty Jones can't play ANY defense. Hurry Jalen
I'll be the first one to say it…. Coach Mo is in trouble. He continues to insist on having Paolo and Franz bring the ball up despite having plenty of guard options. When P5 or Boogie bring the ball up, pace slows down, there isn't enough action, we take poor shots late on the shot clock which results in misses. This is why every good shooter we've had hasn't worked out. We all took our frustration out on Harris, Houstan, KCP and now Desmond will be next unless we can get these guys better quality shots. The reason Jase is making 3s at a higher clip, is that he's playing with a unit with no ball-dominant forwards so the offense flows more "normal" and players get shots in the natural rhythm of an offense. Mo needs to give the reigns of the offense to someone else in his staff or it will cost him his job.
Magic fans need to be patient it's preseason 😂 they're trying different things
Penda hunting 3s? Really? I didn’t see that at all.
FIRE COACH MOSLEY?
Here’s my take:
Evidence that point guard usage is down / diluted
1. More ball movement & shared creation. The offensive philosophy seems to lean more toward “reads, cuts, spacing, multiple creators” rather than a single lead ballhandler running everything. Because of that, the classical “point guard as primary initiator” tends to have less exclusive control.
I know for a fact, that game two of preseason video on locked on Magic has never had this many comments! Phillip, has the data come out on the Magic digital footprint? Is it commensurate with the team’s growth?
Great show Philip. Still waiting to see Bane take those 7 / 8 3’s a game we heard so much about. Hopefully we won’t kill his career like KCP. I would of thought getting Bane going would have been day one.
It's very frustrating to hear that Suggs might not even be ready for opening night. The dude has been out since before playoffs started and still possibly weeks away from coming back. Next is the minutes restrictions, which Orlando over plays that since with Isaac. If we want home court advantage. Suggs has to be in the starting lineup sooner than later. Maybe a new medical team will speed things up. I personally am not a fan of the medical team, and we keep babying them to take their sweet time.
Ty Jones can't be a starter.
Richardson, fix better. They need an offensive point guard.
