Still cant get over how LBJ unanimously win MVP. Whoever didnt vote for him, needs to have their voting privileges revoked

game 1 could have easily went either way. I still see OKC pulling it out in 5.

OKC pulling it out in 5?

If there was a loss to feel good about, its this one. Memphis is the better team in this series. They will make adjustments and wake up for Game 2. Also, free throws messed us up again just like it did in Game 2 vs the Clippers.

Rudy was built to use against Durant. The Clippers series would have not been in a good series for him if the team decided to run a lot of iso ball with him. He's came up big for us several times against OKC, so it wouldn't have hurt to have him out there but I'm not going to say that's why we lost. Grizz can very well put together 4 straight wins after today's loss against OKC.

Clippers are probably the worst matchup possible for us and we got through them. We've always been a confident team vs. OKC and its not going to change. I think we just went into the series knowing that we were favored and didn't play as hard.

[shatterkneesinc]

yes commercials magic... commercials

 

[jinkazama]

Not really.

You think Vinny del negro is on par with scott brooks? Really...Brooks isn't a great coach but he's better than Vinny by far

 

[k town trash]

and wthell is magic talking about

 

[shoeking2101]

Look at Magic Johnson right now, just look at him.

Bruh, Lebron Just won his fourth MVP they ask you to speak about it and you're talking about why he doesn't have any commercials on TV or cereal boxes? Whaaatttt?

 

[100027]

Magic is senile.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Coming after that interview w/ LBJ, they flipped it to Magic so he could make a point...

...and this buffoon seriously starts talking about how CP3 has more commercials than Raymone. And "they" need to do something about it.

Dude ****** up the whole flow of that segment, you could tell everyone wasn't expecting that. Get this ***** off ESPN man.

he has a point all these damn cliff paul , blake griffin, uncle drew, and kd sprint commercials, the only commercials i remember bron in was the galaxy note mini movie from the start of the season. But he had a ton as a cavalier  

 

[Coupé It]

Does anyone have a list of the NBA writers/announcers who vote for MVP? Can you find that? Or is it private?

 

[big j 33]

When asked about Lebron's legacy now that he has 4 MVPs, Magic complains Lebron isn't in enough commercials.

Terrible

 

[lawdog1]

No sir...if the Grizz drop these two no way they win the series. Even w/o Westbrook the thunder are far better coached than the clips and have the best player in the series...a superstar no less in Durant. I don't see any team Durant is on losing 4 out of 5 times to the same team not named The Miami heat

You really think Scott Brooks is "far better" than DelNegro? Better maybe, but not by much. And yeah, Durant is great, but the Grizz either unquestionably or arguably have the better player at every other position.

dudes aint letting that info be known 

 herm was speaking the truth thou 

 

[Coupé It]

And Yes, Magic Johnson should not be on television, ever since Howard Stern ruined his TV life, he should have never came back. Lol.

Chris Webber needs to go to ESPN, replace Magic.

But no one will fire the bright smile and the HIV positive Magic Johnson.

Doesn't matter if he's right or not. It wasn't the time to talk about that dumb ****.

Not really.

You think Vinny del negro is on par with scott brooks? Really...Brooks isn't a great coach but he's better than Vinny by far

They're both equal in terms of how garbage they are.

All these commercial are funny tho.

If Lebron gets more commercials I hope they're funny.

Not trying to see him get a haircut or buy his friends ice cream.

@Espn_FirstTake Do you agree w/ @magicjohnson that @kingjames isn't promoted enough?

See Magic, this is why I hate you. Look at what you've done. You could have just answered the question. Now Look

 

[mjshoefanatic]

[jinkazama]

Knick fans...does Melo ever pass?

Serious question...

Ibaka shot like 1-10 perkins 1-6, prince was hitting fadeaways and contested 3s, that ridiculous buzzer beater at the end of the 3rd, jeryd bayless is the only thing out of the norm to feel good about

 

[bhzmafia14]

Couple things people should look at:

- Tony Allen only played 20 minutes.
- Memphis was 14-24 from the line
- Martin had 25 points

Martin isn't going to give them 20+ points every game once Hollins adjust and put TA on him and shut him down like he did Crawford. I don't expect Ibaka to be a huge factor in this series. 1-10 is not something he will put up every game, but don't expect him to be some savior.

OKC played the bigs well and they still combined for 38 points and 20 rebounds.

edit:

Pekrins 1-6? SO?! You really about to make Perkins a factor offensively against the best defense in the league? And Prince been shooting the same way all season long. That's how he shoots and he was 4-10. Its not like he shot perfect from the field. Memphis was simply the better team for 47 minutes. Please be real with yourself. If not, I guess the rest of the series will do the talking.
