The Orlando Magic capped off Game 4 of their first round series against the Cavaliers with a major home victory, tying the series up 2-2 as a return to Cleveland in Game 5 proves to pivotal. Paolo Banchero had an off game with just 9 PTS, but this team won by committee with amazing performances from Franz Wagner, Jon Isaac, and others off the bench who helped ignite a big pull away in the 4th quarter.
Amidst the hype of the OKC Thunder, fans have forgotten that this Orlando team could be next up for NBA supremacy as they impressed with their consistency all season, particularly their stuanch defense.

This is nothing new for Orlando fans, we expect this as we have seen it before. Remember in 2009 when the Magic went to the finals? Remember how everyone disrespected them so much and said that the Magic would lose to the Celtics and the Magic won, then said they stood no chance against Lebron and the Cav’s, Orlando won and went to the finals to lose in 5 to Kobe and the Lakers (R.I.P. Kobe) for Kobe’s final championship. Nobody expected the magic to make it past the first round then. Same now, im not saying this team can make the finals, but that we Orlando fans expect the disrespect.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🫡🫡
Nah, were going to the NBA Finals fam.
Agree, we already expect the disrespect. It's cool though, we move in the dark in silence
Kobe also won in 2010
It's almost gross at times now still to have your team never get any love with the kind of season they just had finishing 13th in the East last year
It baffles me Orlando doesn’t get the coverage they deserve. They are so fun to watch!
Facts!
Franz did have a poetry in motion masterclass performance.
Yep. He did!
Sooo proud of this team NBA on notice once we get another scoring Guard it’s OVER
FACTS!
The Magic growing some shooters in house. Houstan and Howard can both shoot.
The disrespect is real. When the magic are on and locked in. There is no stopping them. Second round is possible so game 5 for them is very important. Their is no beating them at home in playoffs probably with that atmosphere. They will absolutely run you out the building. They just juice off that to another level
This is quality content. Subbed 👍🏾
Appreciate it!!
Same. Solid observations with no drama.
Thay have 6 players who have better defense per 100 possessions than 90 percent of the league . Bamchero is their 7th best player . But points cover for weaknesses . The defense is elite
I did not know that stat. That’s INSANE
7th best defensive player?
@nfg3714 best player period. Per 100 posessions. You know empty stats etc. How did we know jokic was the best the last three years and sga the best this year. Impact. The only issue is that people don't care about defense so they don't notice good defensive players

I thought the Cavs in 4 or 5 but the way the Magic beat them up these past 2 games is incredible fir such a young team. The roster is built for playoffs. Add some shooters and a point Guard and they are scary the next few years.
Facts. They are going to be amazing in years to come
I’m just saying if we traded for Anfernee Simons and a Buddy Hield. We are challenging for the Eastern Conference
Orlando NEVER gets any LOVE and definitely one of the most entertaining teams to watch right now. Their defense is UNREAL! With 6"10 stars that play like guards.. Banchero's resume in his second year is ridiculous..ROTY, FIBA selected, All-Star with a team that just went from the bottom to the top..
This is all facts💯💯
The Magic always try to build a futuristic team. Rn no one has a similar roster outside of OKC and LaL. Full of lottery picks and a generational Maurice stokes type player. Exceeded all expectations and then some. Next step is progress
All facts💯💯
The Magic can´t lose even when they lose! Sounds weird but they are ahead of their developement schedule and every playoff game under their belt is experience for the future. They are currently one of two teams that has vibes like crazy, Dallas is the other team. They embrace the fight, every win of a lose ball gets celebrated and they have a very good bench squad. I got them as a top 4 team in the east for next season. Good breakdown btw, subbed!
All facts. They’re definitely ahead of schedule. Amazing stuff we’re seeing from them
What are your thoughts on them in the next few seasons? I see a lot of maturity in the team and as they progress they can probably get some good seasons on.
Oh they’re gonna be scary with this core over the next few years. This experience they’re getting means everything as they carry it into the next few seasons. Whats scary is Paolo is only 21 years old leading this team to a potential second round appearance in just his 2nd season. They are going to be amazing as they continue to fill out this roster
Celtics praying that the Cavs win this series cause they don't want to us at all. All four of these games we've played Magic Basketball holding the Cavs under 100 points in all of them. We on our way to the Eastern Conference Finals, just six more wins 🫡
This team is scary good. Ur right!
Full credit to Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner for Donovan Mitchell having two straight off games. Their defense on Donovan has been a big reason for his slump. That said, still think Donovan's a great player. I don't think he can be the definitive #1 guy on a championship team. Maybe in a 1A/1B situation, but can't be the unquestioned #1 on your team. Great content man, enjoyed it.
Appreciate it! And yep that Orlando perimeter defensive attack is flat out amazing with those guys
PLAY THE SONG
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You really made a statement that shows that you missed a HUGE point. You said the cavs had BACK TO BACK BAD OFFENSIVE PERFORMANCES. The truth is they have had BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK horrific offensive performances as they haven't scored 100 yet.
Great content ask espn to hire you.
Appreciate it!!! I would love to work for them
Keep telling ppl when magic are locked on offense combined with there elite defense they are a legit contender if they figured it out of offense and we somehow beat Celtics we going to the finals, I think magic figured out how to beat Cleveland there tall versatile defense is to much for cavs
For sure💯💯💯💯
Good luck Magic. In beating my Cavs you will be helping them in the long run. JB Bitcherstaff will finally be fired. Hopefully Luke Walton also goes, enough of clueless nepo coaching. Mitchell leaves, likely to Spurs in sign and trade unless Cavs get better deal than from San Antonio
💯💯💯💯
