What signs have you seen to make you believe the Orlando Magic are not for real?

Rossman-Reich: The reliance on mid-range jumpers really concerns me. We knew the Orlando Magic would have some difficulties generating offense without a primary creator but this is a sure sign the offense is going to be feast or famine. They might look like the absolute worst offense in the league one week and the absolute best the next. That has already happened. The question still remains about this team about how they will handle adversity. They have bounced back once. But the team still needs to find its backbone to survive their weaknesses. Will it hold up or will it collapse?

Bethel: Well, even when the Orlando Magic lead games by double digits, it feels like they can still lose. Evan Fournier still has games where he cannot shoot consistently. And the bench is at most times a liability.

Racine: The Orlando Magic often times struggle to score. Sometimes the wings cannot hit a bucket. The biggest concern is the lack of shooting and a go-to-scorer on the wing.

Flynn: To be Devil’s advocate to my previous point, if Evan Fournier does not start to show more consistent play and be a reliable scorer for the Magic they could start to drop off.
