What happened

Opening night brought a 132-125 loss to Atlanta and immediate point guard despair, one fan declaring the Magic "will never be a serious team with crash bandicoot as our PG." Then came the turn: a 115-93 flattening by Minnesota that dropped them to 0-2 and moved the conversation from rotations to demolition, with calls to "fire the GM and executives at this point and blow this team up." Friday's 111-102 win in New York made it 1-2 and changed nothing except the volume. The demands just got more specific: "Pay Anthony Black, you cowards in the FO.
