The Orlando magic so far:
- 1st in DRTG
- 3rd in REB%
- 6th in OREBs per 100 possessions
- 3rd in steals per 100 possessions
- 4th in opponent points in the paint per 100
- 7th in opponent 3PM and 3PT%
- 2nd in transition points allowed
Looking at these metrics, it’s not surprising the lakers struggled so much with them. I hope they can keep it up. It would be great to see another eastern conference contender emerge

suggs effect. love to see it.
With how huge everyone is, that team has a ton of defensive upside.
I think the shooting/scoring efficiency will be an issue, but it’s not like they are completely devoid of shooting/scoring either.
That’s what playing Rockets and then Blazers do for you
You jinxed it. Now they will suck.
I’m a huge jalen suggs fan. He was hounding the ball yesterday. Now if only he develops an average offensive game will he be a regular starter. I think they need a 3 point threat.
We’ve needed a 3 point threat for 10 years now 😔 been one of the worst teams from 3 for a while - really need the offensive help
They’ve only played 3 games, who cares? Two of their opponents were the rockets and blazers, two god awful teams and then the third are the lakers who they just lost to, I really don’t see the point in trying to find any kind of trend in a 3 game sample size; especially when they struggled to barely beat a horrible blazers team.
Early season Magic are back!
Weren’t there like a couple seasons they were crazy during the first round of the playoffs?
Orlando took the picks we gave them and WCJ laughed at us, and built for the future. We got Vooch I guess.
