Last night was almost the perfect explanation for the Magic’s capabilities this season. Watching the game and using the eyeball test everything couldn’t have seemed better. The magic were hooping on offense and we’re doing some work in ways to be scrappy and hard nosed. But the magic never really got more than an 8 point lead, and it honestly never felt like there was a chance the magic could pull away. It was an incredible effort last night, and when the magic play even a fringe contender team, that seems like what the outcome is going to be time and time again. The Magic don’t have the experience to be able to look to close things out, at times they can hardly build off their own momentum because it seems like they get so excited. The hornets were very entertaining to watch, and it was nice having the opportunity to see the Magic give everything they could. Much like what it feels like this season is going to be, the Magic eventually came up short and it felt like in the end, it was all for nothing.
