Inside The NBA : East & West Conference Discussion

Inside The NBA : East & West Conference Discussion

And so um so two teams now both 24 and 17 New Orleans and Dallas which team do you prefer Chuck well it depends on Zion they have they have a chance of doing that the Mavericks they’re just a offensive team they’re they’re not contenders but to me the Pelicans are

Intriguing they got three Allstars they got a terrific bench uh I don’t my criticism is always on Z about his condition and is rebounded one rebound you can’t have one rebound under any circumstance he should be to me in my opinion he should be a double double guy if you’re that if

You’re that explosive offensively you should be able to get 10 rebounds a game I us should get pissed at myself I ever got below 10 rebounds a game he should be a double double machine but they have it all if Zan can get in shape and stay

Healthy I mean because right now to me it’s the nuggets and the Clippers it’s the nuggets and the Clippers in in the conversation in the Western Conference and the Lakers have been disappointing I know they’ve been trying to make a trade but right now if the Clippers uh you know I might

Have to apologize to the timberwol I might have to how about to the Thunder say listen Sam pry you know to me he Mich Jerry they’re in the conversations the best general managers in the NBA because their draft picks all can flat out play but right now I’m not taking

Anybody or the devil nuggets but Shaq me and Shaq disagree I to me the favorite in the west right now it’s the Los Angeles Clippers I think Dallas has more upside uh with a big if you see with the absence of Lua see Kyrie balling you see

Hardway balling now no they’re not going to average 40 at the game night but if they could play like that with Luca coming back they could be a much more dangerous team they’ve been very inconsistent one guy have a good game another guy have a good game but but if

They could play like that and you know form that big two maybe that big three and play like that on a consistent basis I think they would have a better upside but I I have more confidence in them than I do the uh pelicans and so Chuck

Says it’s a two horse race out there in the west how many horses you got well first I want to talk about Dallas because I think Dallas has gotten to a point where Kyrie and Luca have bought in to making each other better and making plays for everybody around them

So I think it’s less one-on-one ball and the ball has been moving a lot so that was my main criticism with Dallas but they’re not good defensively okay but Luca’s been there and we’ve seen that he can lead this team to the Western Conference so if he if they’re able to

Match up with a Minnesota or an OKC I give Luca and Kyrie the nod oh we just disagree oh we disagree disagree but I you put the Clippers up I’m sorry again no but I feel like I feel like with New Orleans their star players don’t make

Each other better they don’t until that happens Ingram and Zion make each other better they’re not going to be good did I mention him no I just simply said you said New Orleans was not Dallas is out of the picture not a contender and I think Dallas is more of a contender than

New Orleans is that’s a debate okay uh because like I say the jury is still out on New Orleans to me you know Shaq had he he he said something those three guys those two guys especially a ball dominant so only two guys going to score

They’re not going to get 40 from three guys they I don’t even think they going to get 30 cuz Luca has the ball so much so much and you see the last two games Kyrie’s been crazy because Luca hasn’t been there and Hardaway has stepped up his game but when they both play

Together I think if Luca got off the ball a little bit more and they played at a much faster Pace he holds the ball way too much and they don’t play a fast enough Pace because they got a little team the only way they could be contenders they would try to have to

Outscore people in my opinion if Dallas’s defense is such a drawback for you then in rating them why isn’t Minnesota’s With The Wolves is those two big guys if they get into a three-point shooting contest with one of these smaller teams those big guys can’t guard

Out on the floor I think that’s their only weakness they are great defensively around the basket and things like that but if they play against a hot if they played against the Mavericks Rudy and uh and Carl they don’t dominate enough on the offensive end for me to try to guard the

Perimeter a team like the Mavs somebody like that that that to me Hey listen they’re doing great if I’m wrong I don’t mind being wrong but I’m saying if they play a three-point shooting contest against a really good team and you got Carl and Rudy out on the floor they’re

Going to struggle uh let’s take a little break here on inside what do you say big fell you good with that yeah let’s do it good um and we’ll have some more highlights got a bunch of games um we have to do something my son thinks that Shaq is the

Greatest of all time I told him Chuck was a beast he said yeah right Google me Google me you better Google me little man XPR Kia is the official Automotive partner of the NBA hey there’s more MLK action later tonight on NBA TV they got the thunder in the lake that should be interesting 10:00 eastern time anytime s is playing so fun to watch got to watch that so if you uh if you were to Google Chuck hey here’s what you

Get young fella Young fella you better Google me that old that old weak old dunk work okay Chuck hey that donon would double me girl upop yeah that’s right Don Nelson little something extra a little something extra Don Nelson I told you 56 okay I told you

To double me D I’m not going to double you that’s all 56 Jaylen Bronson a noo for the Knicks got left C thing better get some Icy h jayen o no through the back door and then knocking down a three great pick up for the mix yes sir and he has

17 Hollow van Cara big boy get off me little man 206 and three Nicks by a deuce at the half Julius Randall only went five out of 18 but he connects there Dante div chenzo that out to Villanova he had 15 miles McBride career high 20 for the Knicks Nick

Bride they’re up double digits But Here Comes Orlando this right here you oh man that was nice McBride give it to him McBride on your spotle under but it was a late run by the magic at the Garden that told the Tale in this one you saw Cole Anthony y That’s the

Best Anthony ever played Inon again that is the best Anthony ever played in the NBA here you what about Carmelo Anthony tell you that Auburn education how about carelo Anthony I was talking about the Anthony household Anthony household food you said that’s the best Anthony in

The NBA that’s what you said in the GRE anthy househ you didn’t say that good thanks for fixing that I got a bone to pick where Carmelo 9894 is your final score for first time the Knicks have lost a game when they took a lead to the fourth quarter they

Were 19-0 now 19 and one as Orlando takes that one by four game one of our double header wambi and the Spurs taking on Trey Young and the Hawks down the road State Farm Arena and man it was all Trey young early Shaq yeah listen you know

Guy like this you really shouldn’t give a room like that especially when he’s going man came up on that pick no resistance shooting the ball well great vision finding his guys and Ernie the Hulk was alive 36 points assists that’s what I used to do Chuck just dribble right by you

3516 after one and it only got you C 29 first half points San Antonio had a grand total of 34 allar allar just play feel free to pass the ball to big 6934 Victor no points on 0 of four shooting in the first half and then he

Went nuts in the second half yeah it’s a thing of beauty to watch wheny play goodness he makes play after play offensively and defensively he had 26 points in the second half they were down by 35 and were able to cut the Gap watch this watch this oh throw down

Ah I love when he plays meem soan has got wmy in his sights love when he plays mean Chu 96 to 90 it’s it’s a six-point game oh but Jaylen Johnson man this guy has been ball he’s been playing fantastic 151 and S 109 to

99 is your final score so the Hawks man and that’s the first time all year they’ve held the team under 100 points uh they never Trail leading by as many is 35 enough to hang on for dear life to win that one that’s the first time have held somebody under 100 points

Um have another a double double number that will Amaze you but I’m going to save that till after the postgame yak and Yak okay when you look at how we started the game tonight that that that’s in US you can feel really good about a win

Especially on this day um but you can also hold yourselves accountable for not being focused in the second half we’ve got to get better at not allowing you know a 68o run to turn into a 152 run that’s the focus I’m talking about teams are going to go and run start the game

It’s hard to hold a team no matter who it is to no run so um we knew they were going to make a run we just needed to try to stop it we didn’t and uh thankfully we had as big of a lead as we

Did we were able to hold on it’s a special day for the country I I think here in Atlanta um and it doesn’t diminish the significance of it other places but here in Atlanta because of the history of the city it’s even more significant I think it’s a good win for

A lot of reasons and uh had we lost it’s still celebratory day I’m just glad we get to double down with the win going back to the 2010 11 season now the Hawks 12-2 on MLK day and they win here in Atlanta Dr King’s birthplace uh earlier this afternoon 109 to 99 now

That double double number this is this is pretty amazing uh let me know if you think this is they had four guys today the Hawks with double doubles it’s the fourth time they’ve had that happen this season really the rest of the league zero zero nobody else in the

League has done that and the Hawks have done it four times four guys with double doubles and that’s why we going to make the playing game ready impressive stat right there and he playing game here we come ah you know but Ernie you know they can say all the

Stuff they want to that was a very that encap poates the Hawks in a nutshell like how do you lose to the Pistons and the Wizards Pacers and the wizard Pacers and the wizard excuse me without Hal Burton so obviously they different team but then you come out and

Get a 30-point lead and then next thing you know the Spurs a one basket from making at a four-point game you know you can have first of all there’s never a good reason to Le lose to the Wizards by 20 under any circumstances I mean the Pistons just went in there and stomped

Them tonight but the for for the Hawks to lose to the Wizards by 20 points you have to say yourself man what the hell what what are the Hawks doing then you factor in they getting ready to trade if they if if the rumors are true they getting ready to trade uh

Deontay to all together now to the to to the to the Lakers and I’m like he’s a heck of a player I’m I’m a big fan of his that would helped a l you’re a big fan will get his damn name right well hey hey hey hey jeante D EJ T hey

With the thing over the E what you call the thing the whatever the thing over the E Yeah but accent yeah but it like it’s so many teams in this league you have to say to yourself like what what are we doing because I think the

Same thing about the Bulls I think the about the Toronto Raptors uh you know because to me seak is a big prize as much as I like OG anybody I see the Warriors are really trying to get SE yakum that would change the entire Dynamic of that Warriors team if they

Able to get SE yakum because I think he’s a he’s a All-Star type player and if he don’t have to be your best player if he can be like going back when they won a championship with Kawai he be your second best player man your team going to be like oh we good
