I’d have to go with the Magic being 11-5 and on a 6 game win streak.
Watched the Celtics game and they played great individual and team defense while taking high IQ shots. Which is a rarity now because usually teams with young rosters keep chucking it with no disregard with what is happening on the court (Grizzlies). This Magic squad is very well coached.
Legit if they can get a couple of 3 and D players, or resurrect prime Klay Thompson, this team can be extremely scary.
Minnesota is a bigger surprise to me than Orlando. I just really didn’t think Minnesota would gel and be this good.
It has to be Minnesota over Orlando. Everyone thought we saw Minnesota’s ceiling last year since they have relatively established players in KAT and Gobert. The Magic have a bunch of younger lottery picks that you expected to make a jump (like Franz was everyone’s dark horse MIP).
