Sentinel Hoops: Roy Parry on Orlando Magic

We breakdown the final 27 games for the Magic and what they need to do to return to the playoffs for a second consecutive season.

The schedule is certainly in Orlando's favor, with 17 games against teams with current losing records. 

We also discuss the Slam Dunk Contest and how Aaron Gordon was robbed again. 

The Magic are 24-31 at the All-Star break and sit at No. 8 in the Eastern Conference standings.

We look at the recent struggles as the Magic are 4-10 since beating the Los Angeles Lakers in California last month.

We break down the James Ennis acquisition. 

We also talk about injuries and Aaron Gordon's play as of late as he heads back to the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. 

Markelle Fultz had his second career triple-double as the short-handed Magic topped the West-leading Los Angeles Lakers in the third game of a west coast trip.

Fultz had 21 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and tied a career-high with 10 assists as the Magic won despite having just one active point guard and missing leading scorer Evan Fournier.

We talk about this win - and the games against Sacramento and Phoenix and what we are learning about this team as we hit the midseason point. 

We catch up on the Orlando Magic after the holidays and discuss a team that is playing stronger basketball and has won four of its last five games.

With a road trip coming up out west and injuries mounting up, we talk about what to watch for on this trip. 

As the Orlando Magic get set to begin a four-game road trip, we look into the offensive explosion and recent win streak and see what is behind it. 

The Orlando Magic are 2-1 in the middle of a five-game homestand right now and showed how good they can be with a fourth quarter performance on Wednesday night against Philadelphia.

We look at how the team is coming around, what is going right and what still needs to be looked at.

We also discuss the play of Michael Carter-Williams, Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac so far this season. 

Orlando's offense finally hit 100 points for the first time this season against Dallas but it still wasn't enough as another anemic three-point shooting night sent the Magic to their fourth consecutive loss. 

We talk about the two-game road trip and look for signs of hope, including the inspired play of Jonathan Isaac on Wednesday night. 

We look at the Orlando Magic, who are in the middle of a 1-4 stretch and figure out if it's a serious epidemic or if some small changes can make a difference.

The Orlando Magic opened the 2019-2020 season with a home win over Cleveland. 

We talk about that win on this episode of the podcast.
