The real joke is they are talking in English <| sep |> Ideally , yes . But we aren ' t . So , here ' s what the optimistic Magic fan in me clings toOur biggest problem is clearly offense . We are terrible by all metrics and there ' s no defending it pun intended . But our biggest problem since the Howardera ended has been shot blocking . We ' ve now solved that problem and are 6 th in the league in BPG . We ' re also 8 th in the league when it comes to Opp PPG . Being Top 10 in Opp PPG when we have so many new players and basically no defensive chemistry is a huge accomplishment , in my book . Other rankings to keep us off the ledge for a little while longer Team Total Rebounds Per Game 8 thTeam Offensive Rebounds Per Game 10 thSo , at least we rebound all of those terrible shots we put up at a pretty solid clip ! Do we need help ? Yes and a lot of it . But when it comes to successful basketball , we ' re always taught that defense and rebounding win championships . So , at least we ' re on the right track in those departments . Don ' t get me wrong , we ' re nowhere near a deep playoff run but if we can shore up the offense somehow , I believe we ' ll still be that fringe playoff team that we all hoped for this year .
