Nice job, Magic. NBA, Artest videos

Always a good idea to only try for the first 14 minutes of the NBA Finals. Nice going, Magic. Don't blame Jameer. Don't blame chemistry. Don't say it was the coaching. They got outworked and they got smoked. This series could be a huge letdown for a playoff season that otherwise has been sensational.

The Magic starters were a miserable 11-46 from the field. That's 24% - which got me thinking. I needed to find another statistic that would produce a 24%. I went straight to David Carr. Bingo.
His 2nd game of his NFL career, following 19-10 vs. Dallas. At San Diego in week 2, he completed 24% of his passes. He was sacked more times than he completed a pass. 6-25 against 9 sacks. It was brutal.

Back to the hoops from last night. Both Stan Van Gundy & Phil Jackson wore microphones in last night's game. Take a listen.

=======================
Can't Miss Vids
NBA.com rolled out the best sound from this year's NBA playoffs. Yes, comedians Ron Artest and Yao Ming make an appearance. Note the first player out of the gate is LeBron - joking about how much he likes to talk.....unless he loses!!!!

---------------------------------
What is up with the wacky Orlando Mayor? Wagers b/w cities when battling for sports titles is normal, but this extravaganza is a bit much.

---------------------------------
Sorry no embedding here. Just click through this TMZ link and you can see Ron Artest --- buying HOT DOGS.
---------------------------------
This video is titled - Man Gets Tased, Mocks Cops, Gets Away. While not necessarily in order, that is exactly what happens. Also Man screams out for YAAAHHHHHHWWWWWEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
