23. Orlando Magic (14-17)
The Orlando Magic are beginning to fall of their playoff pace that they jumped out to at the start of the season, and it’s not exactly all that surprising. The team certainly has its limitations, and is still fairly young.
With that said, it’s still somewhat impressive to see this team just a half a game out of the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference nearly at the halfway point mark of the season. Entering the year, I’m not sure anyone could’ve predicted them having any shot at the playoffs. They have a puncher’s chance, if they can keep up this pace.
But this season isn’t about the playoffs for the Magic. Their goal should be to improve as a team as much as they can, and hopefully make the jump next year.
