Tied for the longest active streak in the league. The last time Orlando had a 7 game winning streak was January 2011 during the tail end of the Dwight Howard / SVG era.

    Golden State finished the season tied for 3rd in 22. Bucks were 3rd in the East in 21. Lakers had the 3rd best pre-bubble record in 20. Barring injuries to KD and Klay, the third-best Warriors would have won in 19. Warriors finished 3rd in 2018. Cavs finished 3rd in 2016. 6 out of the last 8 years, a team that finished 3rd or worse in the league made the finals. 5 out of those 6, that team won the title. Maybe do a non-zero amount of research before talking out your ass.

      Not sure what that person meant but the Magic having no playoff experience must be taken into account

          Last season, we saw a few teams rise quickly in the beginning 25 games of the season and then not sustain it.

          Being 3rd right now means Jack shit considering the Lakers were awful til they traded Westbrook and then made it to the WCF.

          The Magic have zero experience in the playoffs. They’re not doing shit this year but keep on keeping on with all that talk
