Besides being arguably the greatest point guard in NBA history, Magic Johnson is also known for another thing: Sending tweets (posts on X?) that feel like obvious statements, so much so that it feels like a running gag.
But when it came to the Washington Commanders getting embarrassed at home on Thursday night in a 40-20 loss, Johnson didn’t hold back on X. He declared that Commanders “played with no intensity or fire.”
WHEW. When that’s coming from Magic’s Twitter (X) account you know he means business. Also, he’s not wrong! Washington struggled quite a bit against a Bears team that hadn’t won a game in ages:
Tonight the Commanders played with no intensity or fire. We didn’t compete in the first half and got down 27-3 heading into halftime. It was too big of a hole to climb out of and that is why we ended up losing 40-20.
