Not much has gone wrong for the Orlando Magic so far in the 2009-2010 season. The Orlando Magic have tied the NBA Record for best three game start in league history by going 3-0. They have outscored their opponents 340-306. If the season ended today, they would be the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, pending tiebreakers. Ask any player or coach about an undefeated season and they all give the same response: “We’re taking it one game at a time”
Players on the team downplayed the pressure, but it was easy to tell that the undefeated season is taking a toll on them. With only 79 regular season games left in the season (really only 77 because Sacramento doesn’t count), the team is close to achieving its goal of going undefeated. Every team that plays the Magic will be trying to end the undefeated streak and preserve history. However, the first three teams tried to do the same thing and failed.
The streak almost came to a screeching halt yesterday as the Magic were down by one point early in the first quarter, but the Magic took the lead shortly afterwards and held on. Good teams know how to win and the Magic weren’t about to just give up and end their quest to go 82-0. The Magic have been compared to the 1972 Dolphins ever since the streak began last week. However, one slip-up and they’ll start to be compared to the 2007 New England Patriots.
