After the Lakers eliminated the Grizzlies from the NBA playoffs last week, Memphis is taking its medicine since the team talked so much trash before the playoffs. What makes matters worse is not just that the Grizzlies couldn’t back their talk up, but they lost by 40 points to Los Angeles in Game 6.
In Monday’s episode of First Take, Stephen A. Smith addressed Memphis for the first time since its ungraceful exit, and he went right after the team.
“They look like damn jokes, they were an embarrassment, and I don’t say that kindly, and I don’t say that with any joy in my voice or in my heart,” Smith said. “They didn’t lose, they got their a-- kicked.”
