Set us up the meme of the interview of him laughing about his elbow shot, then this.

I think you are misinterpreting my posts. I never said that I didn't think that a healthy Warriors team would lose to a healthy Blazers team. I just said it would be a great series and a great series to watch. I think the games would be competitive no matter how many games the series would last. I don't think it would be the "steamroll" sweep that you are making it out to be. The Blazers when healthy have a well balanced team---good shooting, good inside presense with Nurk, would have a deep bench with guys like Kanter, curry, Turner, Collins, Hood coming off the bench. Just because a team is a favorite to win a championship doesn't mean they are immune to getting played tough.

The best "he wanted it more" is in football when two guys go up for a ball and the guy that is taller or able to jump higher catches the ball. And they go, oh he just wanted it more. Cracks me up.

Why---Magic's analysis was spot on. You think the 76ers executed well the last 3 minutes?

nope, think if we watch the last 5 minutes again we can see multiple spots where the offense letdown. Still, no need to chime in from his twitter universe to let us know. we already know

I wouldn't fire him because teams would be lining up for him but I got a feeling Brown and management or at least ownership don't see eye to eye on a few things from how to handle Joel and Ben to other things. You can tell by Brown's demeanor at times he's incredible frustrated. He actually might be relieved to be let go IMHO. Theres been various reports popping up for the last few yrs about Brown and management not seeing eye to eye and people are blowing those reports off. It just sounds awfully similar to the Thibs/Bulls stuff about not seeing eye to eye either a few yrs ago. I think Brown gets one more year and if he doesn't get to the ECF he's gone but I wouldn't be shocked if they pink slipped him in the next few days either.

I don’t think he’s totally wrong, but Toronto’s defense was absolutely suffocating.
maybe magic could have spent more time trying to put a decent team together and he wouldn’t have to worry about tweeting.

He's kind of right. How many shot clock violations and poor ball movement did they have in those final 3 mins? Guys bunched together, not aware of the shot clock, etc.

I just think that just like any fan--you are too emotionally invested and are taking an accurate assessment of what went on too personally. It's more than the last few minutes. Embiid is arguably the best big in the game--and that did not show today. Ibaka put a far bigger mark on this game than Embiid did. That's inexcusable. I said it earlier in the NBA thread--he shoots way too many 3's and would be better off posting up and attacking the rim. Sure enough--he was something like 1-6 from 3 today. There was a lot more that went into the loss than a fortunate bounce of a fade away base line jumper.

Kind of hard to do after he sign Lebron. The minute you sign Lebron you sign him as your Star player, Your Head Coach and You're GM so you don't hurt the whittle guys feelings

I think Magic Johnson's resume in the NBA more than qualifies him for tweeting about basketball. It qualifies him moreso than a bunch of fantasy football dudes on an Internet forum.

no, i stated multiple times in here that Embiid looked atrocious 1st half. think that is what hurts the most is that this game was very winnable. i do think both of these teams took a lot out of eachother over these 7 games, but still some of this was inexcusable
Sorry man. Portland has been a soft out in the playoffs. They didn't magically get so much better they could compete with a healthy GS team - they just played a bunch of garbage this year to get to this point. Don't confuse that with being historically elite.

Time to start the process over?

I'm going to happily cash in on what I had on the Raps to take down Philly prior to the series start. How was your day?
Thunderlips

The Process ended with the Coangelos.
The Sixers sucess/failure in this era will depend on how great a player Ben Simmons wants to be.

lol, congrats on the winnings (i'm never sad to see a gambler win). i'm just bummed cause i had most of my futures in Toronto to win the East, but i am not sure they have anything left to give
Cliff Clavin
Footballguy
The guy that took 5 shots and had 5 TOs in a game 7? The guy that's scared to take a jumper?
Yeah, they should probably fire up the process again.
modogg
Footballguy
no way you can blame Ben in this one. there is plenty to go around. you guys are 4 bounces away from being on the other end so i wouldn't gloat too much. Sixers avoid one of the 3 shot clock violations and probably a different story as well
Cliff Clavin
Footballguy
If only they had a PG who could run an offense and avoid those 3 shot clock violations.

it will be something when Kawhi leaves after this season for Toronto to sink to a sub .500 team, and he chooses to sign with the Sixers

Simmons is a loser. Got roasted by Kawhi all series and a complete joke on offense. Sixers are going absolutely nowhere hitching their wagon to him.
how many more years of Lowry you guys have? Enjoy, future is very bright

I was watching game of thrones so I seen this on ESPN play by play
0:00 Kawhi Leonard makes 15-foot two point shot
I was thinking foul line shot.........I just watched replay he was on the 3 point line almost aka 21 footer from the side.
How can a site be so far off....idiots.

This is a few days old, but the difference Kawhi is making for Toronto is absurd: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxHnETOh5Gj/?utm_source=ig_embed

i lost the tweet somewhere, but the total points Kawhi scored in this series was top out of a lot of other fine one's. Big question is how much does he have left though
modogg
Footballguy
the big question is going to be, who exactly are the Sixers. We got Embiid and Ben, questions about who else will be here next year
I saw the TS% one on some random Twitter feed but had no luck finding it again... that's funny it was by this same guy. Thank you. Leonard is a monster to do what he does on both ends of the floor.
Unfortunately, I think his lack of support is going to make next series really tough for them

The Process success will be with Joel and Ben. This loss hurts but ultimately every NBA Star that ever won a championship had to go through some growing pains (except Magic). Maybe this will be the wake up call for Ben to finally develop and use a jump shot. Maybe Joel will take his health seriously and start eating better and get a conditioning schedule for the off season. Maybe the front office will finally take control of their players and hold them accountable for these shortcomings.
Or maybe they don't learn anything and we do it all again next year.

I have a feeling we will be seeing many more Denver-Portland battles in the playoffs in the future. The future is bright for both of these teams. I said Portland over Denver in 6 but I am very happy they got it done today. I hope Hood is okay.

I'm not saying he doesn't have some self analysis or work to do. I do think if he wants to be......he'll be a legit super SUPERstar in the league.
