After such a promising start, the Orlando Magic are beginning to look and feel like the team of the last five years. Here is where it has gone wrong for them.

Despite being 6-2 at one point and being one of the stories of the early days of the NBA season, the Orlando Magic have hit a real November slump. There were plenty of ways the team could have excelled during this period, but so far this has not been a month to write home about.

It looks like it is about to get worse as well, with the team in the midst of their second four-game road trip of the month. Although it is not a long West coast trip like earlier in November, the games are coming thick and fast. They are getting no easier either.

While the positive vibes around the Magic have faded, there is still belief that they can turn this thing around and head into Christmas still in the postseason hunt.

For now though, here are the five key areas where it has gone wrong for the team, with no definitive answer in how it can get back to winning ways.
