Power Rankings Roundup

And now to conclude the post, we take a look at the power rankings roundup from around the Web:

21. team. 38. <p>No one has taken to calling them the gritty, gutty Magic just yet. Orlando, though, does seem to have quickly caught onto the sort of scrappiness expected of a Scott Skiles-coached team, given how hard it’s been for other teams to shake them so far. Losses to Washington, OKC and Chicago (in Chicago) came by a frustrating total of nine points combined. — <strong><a href=. (0-3). Previous: . Orlando Magic

Previous: . Orlando Magic. 23. team. 38. <p>The Magic are an extremely fun 0–3 after pushing Washington, OKC and Chicago to their limits in consecutive games. Victor Oladipo is blossoming into a star, Nikola Vucevic has picked up where he left off, and the team can play hyper-athletic lineups with Tobias Harris and Aaron Gordon at power forward. Wins should come soon. —<strong><a href=. (0-3)

<p>You could look at <strong><a href=. (0-3). Previous: . Orlando Magic. 22. team. 38
