NBA Power Rankings: Cavaliers are right where they want to be

38. The Orlando Magic did not have a great performance in their game against the Chicago Bulls last night, they let the Bulls get fast break after fast break and the game was seemingly over before the halftime buzzer sounded. The only silver lining for this game came from the pinstripes of the Magic’s blue away jerseys. <p>I’m going to go on record and say that the Orlando Magic don’t even know what the Orlando Magic are doing anymore. This team is one conundrum stacked on top of the other in the form of forwards and centers. Frank Vogel was gifted to them from the Pacers, but with too many cooks in their frontcourt kitchen it’s a tougher job than originally imagined to get the Magic out of the doldrums of the East–where many a general manager have lost their jobs.</p> <p>Aaron Gordon as Paul George 2.0 is already a failure and Mario Hezonja has once again seen his inner-JR Smith stifled. Elfrid Payton, the only other lottery pick that the current Magic regime made, still can’t shoot and hasn’t done much else to grow his game besides gaining experience just from playing as much as he does. If this team remains playing .500 basketball it is a credit to Vogel and his staff.</p> <p>Things could be worse for the kids of Disney World, just look at the teams below them, but this is a team that wasn’t looking for more of the same this year. They made a multitude of moves with the intention of turning their team into a playoff team this year. The return on their investments so far have not been good. If this team can’t reach the lofty goals placed upon it by the front office then there will be major changes to come to the Magic organization.</p>. . . Orlando Magic. 21. team
