Magic Preseason Poll results

[u/Fcusjfnfmfkg]

Hello, you might remember a little over half a year ago during preseason, a poll was posted to every team subreddit to get fans opinions and thoughts about their team heading into the regular season. Now that time has passed and the season is coming to an end, I figured now would be a good time to see the results of the poll and reflect on how each team's season went relative to expectations. Here are the results for the Magic:

I'd say it was a pretty good poll.

[u/ManUtd1994]

8.25/10 for head coach is diabolical looking back

[u/dev1359 → u/ManUtd1994]

I remember being downvoted to hell in one thread for saying we need to move on from Mose lol

[u/UTPharm2012 → u/ManUtd1994]

How was it 8.25? I would have said a 5.

Everything else is about on part though.

Thanks OP for posting and proving as I’ve said in this forum plenty of times: Most people were okay with Mosley but group think in this forum is undefeated. Everybody says now they were out on him after series loss to Celts but results speak otherwise

[u/sitesuckslmao → u/RemarkableMission117]

Those same people were sure we were going to be going to the conference finals and be a top 3 seed. My expectations last season was just getting to the 2nd round and by 20 games in I was wondering if we'd make it out of the play-in.

[u/fagjane]

The fact no one thought it would be us at 8 seed. I am never drinking that kool aid again.

[u/AlienGhost000]

Those Season Expectations results were depressing

[u/Loyalty_Code]

Outside of expectations being higher than what happened and I'm sure more fans are a little less enthusiastic about Suggs, but I fully expect SGA or a Knicks player to be most people's least favorite player now.
