Way back in 2011, the Magic were perennial playoff-makers (six straight appearances in all, starting in the 2006-07 season), coached by Stan Van Gundy and ranked a lofty 16th overall in these very Ultimate Standings. Five years, four postseason-less campaigns and four head coaches later? Theyre mired in the muck of mediocrity, a disheartening 49 spots lower (No. 65 overall), with no top-50 rankings to their name, besides affordability and stadium experience. Where, oh where, has the magic gone?Whats goodThe still-gleaming, still-shiny-new Amway Center, now in its seventh year, remains a fan favorite in Central Florida (25th in having a great stadium, its the top-ranked NBA arena). The tallest HD scoreboard in the league? Check. More than 1,100 digital monitors? Check check. A fun zone for kids AND one for adults? (For the over-21 set, its called the One80 Grey Goose Lounge, complete with sweeping views of the city.) Check, check and ... well, you get the picture. Even if the on-court action isnt great, that scoreboard -- with its 4.4 trillion shades of color -- makes it look great.Whats badThe Magics aforementioned playoff drought -- four years and counting -- matches its longest dry spell since the franchise entered the NBA 27 years ago. Hope, in turn, has run dry. Witness: With the team tied for 90th in title track, you can color Orlando fans skeptical about their championship prospects. (The Magic share that rank with the Milwaukee Bucks, their not-so-lofty NBA colleagues who have toiled in mediocrity for the better part of two decades.) Just a wild guess? The rash of new faces -- only six players remain from last years squad -- wont do much to mend already tenuous trust in the teams future prospects.Whats newBehold, the revolving door of head coaches in central Florida: Stan Van Gundy begat Jacque Vaughn begat James Borrego begat Scott Skiles ... begat Frank Vogel. Vogel, Orlandos fifth head coach in nearly as many seasons, looks to have the locals early buy-in, at least. He comes by way of Indiana, where, in his five full seasons at the helm, he steered the Pacers to four playoff berths. (His lone miss? The 2014-15 season, with Paul George lost for most of the year.) The Magic, in turn, jumped a healthy 33 spots in coaching since last year (their biggest leap in 2016) and climbed to a now-respectable No. 52.Next: LA Clippers?| Full rankings Yeezy 350 Cheap Canada .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.
