Is Orlando Magic’s offense FOR REAL? | What could derail Magic’s offensive REVIVAL?
The Orlando Magic have struggled on offense for much of the last decade. The path to their improvement has always leaned on their improving on that end.
So they have added key players but also changed their offensive mindset, focusing on pace and running more to improve their offensive fortunes.
Their three preseason games have shown this mindset take root. They are improving on offense and have shined in the preseason. The Magic have one of the best offenses in the preseason so far. Orlando perhaps has taken a key step forward.
But there are reasons for concern. The team continues to struggle from deep and continues to struggle with turnovers. These could derail all the growth the Magic have made and unravel the team’s title hopes.

If Wendell plays like he’s playing in preseason. Watch out. He looks springy & confident.
Dem three balls dropping in preseason hopefully carries over
Imagine when we add JSuggs and Mo!
I owe mr jase richerdson and thr Orlando magic front office an apology… mybad mybad rich ah dawg
Jase needs to be a regular rotation player.
I gotta see the Paolo, Franz, and Bane combo work. In two of these games, either Franz or Paolo weren't even on the court. So, I am holding my comments about whether it appears to be working until we see some playmaking among that bunch as a unit. I didn't really see that thus far tbh.
Jett should imulate Bane
The 4 th quarter guys are playing great. 1) Who do you see getting those open roster spots? 2) might be time to do some roster/payroll trimming?
Turnovers seem to be back to the hot potato thing. Throw the ball around because no one wants to shoot. If your open let it fly. One less opportunity for a turnover.
Wcj still sucks
Can't really get excited about the preseason mia and Philly played their g league team the whole game..maxey seem like the only starter that played and he had 17 points in one quarter
I've been a HARSH critic of Wendell and wanted him traded a 1000x. But to Wendell's credit he was an absolute monster when he 1st got here and now he's looking better then that !! When Healthy the guy is a Legit 3 tier scoring center and his defense versatility actually makes him a valuable asset. He actually looks more athletic and as well. Lol im gonna stop with comments and give him the benefit doubt.
