Magic picks Denver to upset Spurs

[SpursWoman]

Magic typically picks against the Spurs. No big shocker there.

[LakerLanny]

Magic in any other capacity other than as a player has never been successful (see his coaching stint, as well as "The Magic Hour", and countless other endevours), so I give this abomination of an attempt at comedy a thumbs down. He's an idiot.

Discussion over.

He is one of the most successful NBA players in business following a playing career ever.

Good take Tex!

He is a good businessman who has done lots for the inner cities, but Magic gets into trouble when he speaks. He can't coach, analyze basketball in this century or navigate a talk show.

Dude, seriously, think a little bit before speaking. Yeah, I disagree with Magic's pick, and his talk show was a disaster, but he's probably the most successful businessman of any NBA player ever. He's worth like 800M I believe...

[ATXSPUR]

I am glad games are played on the court.

[exstatic]

I think Magic is sensing the Spurs going past his 80s Laker squads. Simple envy. Spurs have 3 more playoff runs to go. It could happen.

[Man of Steel]

I don't blame Magic.

I am sure it is more wishful thinking than analysis.

But I still respect him--what he did in his career and what he did for basketball in general.

I grew up watching Showtime--I just like to see Magic proved wrong as far as the Spurs are concerned.

[Man of Steel]

I am listening to the game on the radio.

Did it look as bad as it sounds on the radio?

WORSE

On the postgame show, Magic just said that the '07 Denver is a completely different team from the '05 one that lost four in a row to the Spurs.

"They can bring Nene in against Duncan... and then throw Camby at him. They can even bring in Geraldo off the bench"

First time I've heard Eduardo Najera mispronounced that way

[ATXSPUR]

I hate it when the media is proved right about negative things against the spurs....

[icem]

I am sick of the commentators blathering about how Melo has grown up. I say he folds under pressure again. After all, he was suspeneded THIS YEAR for his juvenile behavior. It's not like he's had years to reflect on what a punk he is.

melo fukkin torched whoever was put on him....

[Budkin]

Magic Johnson will be proven wrong.

[dbreiden83080]

On the pregame show.

Discuss.

Well he looks like a genius tonight, Spurs need to get their together.

[1Parker1]

I think out of all the matchups in the first round (in both the East and West) Nuggets probably have the best chance for an upset. I don't think it'll happen. But I can easily see the Nuggets pushing the Spurs to the limit for 6 or 7 games. Out of all the lowest seeds, I think they are the most dangerous.

[Jimcs50]

Magic knows basketball.

Personally, I do not see the Spurs team winning any series at all. They have been somewhat pedestrian all year, and when the bright lights shine on them, they will show everyone what I knew all year long. They are finished as contenders, unless they make a trade to get TD some help.

[nkdlunch]

Magic knows basketball more than the average fan, that's all.

He picks the teams that most resemble his old Lakers.

Spurs will win this series in 6 as I said before, don't panic kids.

[nkdlunch]

unless they make a trade to get TD some help.

u do realize TD was the weakest link today right?

[NO LIMIT ARMY COMMANDER]

Magic should stick to ing dudes.

[bonesinaz]

melo fukkin torched whoever was put on him....

Melo wasn't under pressure in this game. Pressure will come when the Spurs are up 3-1.

[Voice of Truth]

On the pregame show.

Discuss.

Intelligent Man...he knows his bussiness...(just like me)

[nsrammstein]

Why does it seem that when the spurs lose the mavs also lose?

[lefty]

Dude, seriously, think a little bit before speaking. Yeah, I disagree with Magic's pick, and his talk show was a disaster, but he's probably the most successful businessman of any NBA player ever. He's worth like 800M I believe...

Wow ; but Dave Bing deserves some consideration too

[Lady Marmalade]

If he had a logical arguement for his statement that's great, if he's just saying that out of his a$$ then it makes for discussion..... All I can say is he's said before there is NO WAY the Spurs can win other series and he was proven wrong. Let's hope it's repeated this time.
