The Magic are out West. We have some late nights ahead of us.

I cannot think of a better way to spend it than answering YOUR questions about the Magic. It is that time again. Time for another Orlando Magic Daily Mailbag.

So send me your questions about the Magic on Twitter to @OMagicDaily or send me an e-mail at omagicdaily@gmail.com. Look forward to staying up late with you all and answering some hard-hitting Magic questions.

The mailbag is open until next Monday and then I will spill the beans. Let’s enjoy some #MagicAfterDark this week.

Magic learning to finish games

If there is one thing young teams have the most difficulty learning, it is that winning games is very hard. The Magic have known that better than any other team, having won a league-low 43 games the last two years. Year Three came with some promise that the team would focus on building the players […]

Magic get a lesson without losing in bounce-back win

The Magic were not going to let the lackadaisical play from Friday night carry over into the second game of this West Coast road trip. That much became clear as Orlando built a 16-point lead and put on a defensive clinic. Of course, the Magic were not going to play a game without any problems […]

Has Channing Frye gotten what he bargained for?

When you hear Phoenix Suns fans tell the story, the Suns dropped the ball in re-signing their crucial stretch-4. Phoenix went for broke and tried to get a big-name player to add to the successful crew they had last year. Were they going to match the offer the Magic sent his way? That was not […]

4 Takeaways from Warriors-Magic

What to take away from a rough night as Orlando fell to Golden State 111-96. Victor Oladipo is Not a Point Guard  While many coaches including Jacque Vaughn preach the virtues of a position-less scheme in today’s NBA, where a player is at on the floor still matters.  Giving Oladipo the flexibility to play off […]

No backstop, no stopping Stephen Curry for Magic

The onslaught started from the opening tip when Andrew Bogut found Harrison Barnes cutting down the lane for a dunk. It continued with every Stephen Curry 3-pointer and missed rotation and missed shot and missed opportunity. The Warriors are too tough a team to climb back against when the defense is not doing its job […]

Re-integrating Victor Oladipo and Channing Frye

It is hard for Jacque Vaughn to plan too far into the future at the moment. Every time it seems the team is about to take a step forward, another malady befalls his team. He prepares to get Channing Frye back, and loses Kyle O’Quinn. Now that Victor Oladipo has settled in some, Aaron Gordon […]

Power Rankings Roundup: Still climbing

Most Power Rankings come out Monday, so let us ignore the loss to the Cavaliers for a moment. The Magic went 2-2 last week once again finishing around .500 and picking up a couple more victories.
