What is the biggest thing you need to learn about the Orlando Magic during this extended road trip?
Rossman-Reich: I want to see how they deal with adversity. This is not an easy road trip by any stretch. These are all winning teams. And the Magic should not be favored in any game. There are few games against supposed equals on this trip too. So every win on this trip will be earned. Orlando has to rise to the challenge. And if they lose a few games, I want to see whether they get up for the challenge of reversing the streak is another big question. I think we will learn that in the next couple of weeks.
Racine: I need to learn that the Magic have enough shooting. I want to see improved shooting during this road trip. Evan Fournier has been struggling shooting the ball. Jonathan Isaac and Jonathon Simmons have been icy from behind the 3-point line. Those players need to shoot the ball better for the Magic in the long run. I see Isaac’s confidence is growing each game. He needs to keep shooting and work on mechanics. Simmons needs to get back to shooting at the level he did last season.
Flynn: So far this season and this road trip the Magic have shown they are able to hang with the elite teams in the NBA. I would like to see the Magic have a killer’s mentality and put their foot on the gas against an opponent and win in blowout fashion. The Magic have one blowout win this season (a 115-89 win against the New York Knicks) but several blowout losses.
