NBA on TNT crew breakdown Embiid vs Jokic

. ARE YOU KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF TUESDAY NIGHTS WHERE I’VE BEEN EXCITED TO WATCH STARS AND THEY DIDN’T PLAY TONIGHT. IT’S NOT THAT NIGHT JOEL EMBIID HE IS PLAYING AND NICK NURSE HAS NO MINUTES LIMIT. LOOK AT THE JACKET. THE NICE UNDERRATED SWAG FROM JOKIC.

THE WORLD CHAMP READY TO GO HEAD TO HEAD EMBIID JOKIC. IT IS HAPPENING HERE NBA ON TNT. PRESENTED BY CARMAX SHAQUILLE O’NEAL CANDACE PARKER JAMAL CRAWFORD LEFKOE . THE TUESDAY SHOW IS BACK AND WE HAVE A MATCHUP THAT I WASN’T SURE WE’D EVER SEE EVER. AND IT’S HERE.

>> CAN YOU HEAR THAT? I CAN’T TELL YOU KNOW LIKE DO YOU REMEMBER DOING IT. YOU END UP BEING SO TIRED. OH FELLAS DEAD END. DEAD DURANT PANTHER. Y’ALL DID ME COME ON, ON WITH SHAQ TWICE. I SEE YOU BOO BOO JOKES. >> THAT’S WHY WE DON’T HAVE RUNDOWNS.

>> BECAUSE AT ANY MOMENT, BOO BOO DOING THE PINK PANTHER THEME MICKEY AND BRIDGE GOT YOU LOOKING RIGHT. BOO BOO. >> UH, LET’S GET TO THE, UH, CARMAX ONE ON ONE. THE BREAKDOWN OF THE LAST. TWO MVP WINNERS. THIS IS SINCE IT ALL STARTED IN 2020 WHEN JOKIC GOT TWO. AND THEN

EMBIID GOT ONE. THESE ARE THEIR STATS. THEY’VE SPLIT THE TWO HEAD TO HEAD MEETINGS. EMBIID HAS NOT PLAYED A GAME IN DENVER SINCE 2019. BUT THESE TWO HAVE WON ALL THREE MVPS SINCE THIS HAS GONE DOWN. AND AS THE HEAD, THE EXECUTIVE, THE CEO OF THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE, YOU HAVE

TO BE PROUD OF THESE TWO. >> THIS IS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE. AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WELL, THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. JOKER IS THE BETTER BIG MAN. EMBIID IS THE BIG MAN. YOU WON’T BE WRONG RIGHT. IT’S NOT EMBIID. HE’S THE BIG MAN. NO NO WHAT LIKE EITHER OR WHATEVER YOUR

PREFERENCE. UH THIS YEAR I’M GOING TO GIVE THE NOD TO MVPS BECAUSE HE’S DOMINATING PUTTING UP DOMINATING NUMBERS. BUT UNFORTUNATE. AND THIS THING OF OURS IF YOU DON’T WIN YOU KIND OF LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF THE EDGE. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME BECAUSE CANDACE AND JAMAL KNOW WHEN YOU GO

UP AGAINST SOMEBODY THAT’S SIMILAR TO YOU OR SOMEBODY THAT THEY SAY IS BETTER THAN YOU, YOU TRY TO PROVE IT TO YOURSELF AND PROVE IT TO THE WORLD. LIKE NO, I AM THE BETTER PERSON. SO I’M LOOKING TO SEE IF THEY GUARD EACH OTHER. I’M LOOKING TO SEE IF THEY GO BACK AND

FORTH AT EACH OTHER, AND I’M LOOKING TO SEE WHO WANTS TO DOMINATE, WHO. JOKER IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE SCORES A LOT OF POINTS THAT TIME, HE’S NOT REALLY A SCORER FOR HIS BIG MAN. HE’S MORE OF A TACTICAL PLAYER. SO I SEE HIM NOT REALLY TRYING TO GET A LOT

OF POINTS, BUT EMBIID HAS BEEN SCORING. I MEAN, CHECK THIS OUT. >> 30 AND TEN, 16 STRAIGHT GAMES. WE LOOKED IT UP. I HAD UNDERDOG LOOK IT UP. YOUR LONGEST WAS 1111 BACK IN 2000. UH, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DON’T THINK THIS MATTERS. THE RIGHTS TO RICKY SANCHEZ GUYS, BUT I’M

TELLING YOU, I THINK IT’S IMPRESSIVE. I WANT YOU YOU SAID JOKIC IS DIFFERENT SO HE’S NOT A SCORER. YOU SEE THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. >> SO EMBIID IS DOMINATING BECAUSE WHEN HE GETS THE BALL HE’S LOOKING TO SCORE. FIRST. JOKER LETS THE GAME COME TO HIM. AND IF YOU PLAY

HIM ONE ON ONE HE’S GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. BUT HE’S NOT JUST GETTING THE BALL AND GOING. HE’S LOOKING SURVEYING THE DEFENSE. IF YOU DOUBLE OR ATTEMPT THE DOUBLE LIKE A LITTLE DOUBLE, HE WILL DEFINITELY FIND HIS TEAMMATES. HE’S A TRUE DEFINITION OF A GREAT PLAYER BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE PUTS

UP A LOT OF NUMBERS, HE MAKES EVERYBODY LOOK GOOD. BUT WHEN HE PUTS HIS HEAD DOWN AND SAY, I’M GOING TO SCORE MORE, THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO. BUT HE’S A ALL AROUND TYPE BIG MAN. NOT SAYING THAT JOEL EMBIID TONIGHT I THINK YOU KNOW THE CRAZY THING. ALL THE STUFF

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. JOKER DOESN’T CARE I’VE HEARD HIM SAY STUFF LIKE HEY I DON’T EVEN WANT TO BE FAMOUS. AND I WANT TO GO HOME OR THEY WANT TO COME TO THE PARADE. EMBIID I THINK BECAUSE ALL OF THE STRUGGLES HE HAS HAD, I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY TODAY

THAT EVEN THOUGH WE RATE HIM AS A GREAT BIG MAN, HE STILL HASN’T MADE IT OUT THE OUT. THE SECOND ROUND. THAT HURTS PEOPLE LIKE US. WE’RE SENSITIVE. DON’T DON’T DON’T LET IT. YOU KNOW BECAUSE LIKE WE WHEN WE HEAR WE’RE GREAT, WE WANT TO HEAR WE’RE GREAT. PERIOD. OH HE’S A

GREAT PLAYER. WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR. NO BUTS. NO BUTS. AND YOU KNOW, HE HAS A LOT OF BUTS. BUT BEHIND HIS NAME. SO I THINK EMBIID IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE TRYING TO OUTSCORE THIS DUDE TONIGHT AND OUTPLAY HIM AND GET THE WIN. SO WHEN WE SIT

IN THE BACK THE ONE THING CANDACE PARKER LOVES TO DO IS BE LIKE TAKE AWAY THE LEFT. >> HE’S GOING RIGHT. HERE COMES THE SHOT. IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU HOW DO WE GAME PLAN TO SLOW DOWN JOKIC. HOW DO WE GAME PLAN TO SLOW EMBIID. THIS IS A REALLY TOUGH TASK.

START WITH JOKIC. WHAT WOULD YOU TRY TO DO WELL FIRST I THINK IT’S PLAYING THE GAME OF NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT GOING TO STOP EITHER ONE OF THESE GUYS. >> UM YOU KNOW JUST IN TERMS OF JOKIC I MEAN WE SAW THE PERCENTAGES 85 OVER 105 FIELD GOALS MADE IN THE LAST

NINE GAMES. THAT’S THREE DICULOUS. AND RIGHT HERE, WHEN MURRAY’S ON THE COURT, IT’S EVEN HARDER BECAUSE YOU CAN’T DOUBLE JOKIC. AND THIS PICK AND ROLL, THEY’VE GOTTEN SO GREAT AT THIS POCKET PASS THAT IF YOU’RE TOO LATE, YOU’RE TOO LATE ON JOKIC. HE GETS A LAYUP OR YOU GET A THREE IN THE

CORNER. AND THEN AGAIN RIGHT HERE THIS SCREEN DOWN FOR THE FOR THE BIG. NOW THIS IS A BIG COMING OFF. YEAH. YOU NORMALLY SEE GUARDS COMING OFF OF THIS. YOU HAVE TO BRING ATTENTION. BUT GUESS WHAT. YOU BEAT JOKIC WITH STAYING DISCIPLINED IN IQ. AND I THINK THE WAY THAT YOU

BEAT HIM IS ONE YOU MAKE HIM SCORE. AND TWO YOU MAKE HIM DEFEND. OBVIOUSLY YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE EMBIID ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURT. UH DO THAT. BUT AT THE OTHER END TOO IT’S A IT’S A GAME OF 94FT. YOU GOT TO RUN HIM.

YOU GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE IS RUNNING BECAUSE HE PUSHES TEMPO OFFENSIVELY. HE’S LIKE THAT POINT GUARD THAT POINT FORWARD FOR DENVER. >> SO YOU’RE ALMOST ATTACKING HIS OFFENSE WITH HIS DEFENSE. >> YOU HAVE TO. AND THEN RIGHT HERE YOU CANNOT COME AND DOUBLE WHEN HE’S DOING THIS. YOU KNOW WHAT HE’S

GOING TO DO. YOU HAVE TO STAY DISCIPLINED STAY AT HOME BECAUSE HE WILL PICK YOU APART AND THE NUGGETS THRIVE WHEN THE BALL IS POPPING. AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT IS A CHALLENGE BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE GAMES WHERE HE JUST SHOOTS THE BALL FROM THE

FIELD LIKE HE IS IN THE LAST 985 OF 105, 81. >> BUT HE DOES LEAD THE LEAGUE IN TRIPLE DOUBLES AT 12. >> SO YOU ALMOST HAVE TO GUARD HIM LIKE A LEBRON WHERE IT’S LIKE YOU HAVE TO HONOR THE FACT THAT HE MAKES PLAYERS AROUND HIM BETTER.

>> I’M KEEPING YOU ON THE MIC. EMBIID NOW EMBIID IS HAVING ONE OF THOSE SEASONS THAT IS JUST DOMINANT. >> LIKE LIKE SHAQ SAID WHENEVER HE GETS THE BALL, ESPECIALLY ON THAT LEFT BLOCK. UH IT’S RIDICULOUS. BUT WHAT HE’S DONE, EVEN THOUGH HIS SCORING AVERAGE HAS INCREASED, HE’S PASSING

MORE. AND BECAUSE HE IS PASSING MORE, HIS CAREER HIGHS 6′ HIS TEAM IS SUCCESSFUL AND MAINLY MAXEY KNOCKING THE KNOCKING THE THREE BALL DOWN. AND OFFENSIVELY THE SIXERS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB OF MOVING OFF OF THESE POSTS RIGHT HERE. EMBIID FIGHTING FOR POSITION. THERE’S A FLASH BECAUSE THEY’RE TRYING TO

FRONT HIM. HE GIVES YOU A GOOD TARGET. LOVES THAT RIGHT SHOULDER. IF YOU LET HIM GO OVER THAT RIGHT SHOULDER ALL NIGHT IT’S OVER. IF YOU LET THE BALL TOUCH HIS LEFT HAND IT’S BUCKETS. SO RIGHT HERE AGAIN YOU’RE PLAYING THE NUMBERS. YOU GOT TO BE PHYSICAL WITH EMBIID. AND I THINK THAT’S

THE THING THAT TIRES HIM OUT IN A GAME OF 48 MINUTES. YOU GOT TO BE PHYSICAL. YOU GOT TO FRONT AND YOU GOT TO BRING THE BACKSIDE HELP AND JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST. >> SO TONIGHT IS A JOKIC OR AARON GORDON TRYING TO CREATE THAT KIND OF PHYSICALITY. YOU KNOW I

THINK TO BE HONEST WITH YOU I THINK AARON GORDON IS THE ONE THAT YOU FRONT AND YOU JUST BRING HELP BECAUSE GUESS WHAT. >> HE MISSES THIS ONE. BUT THAT SHOT GOES IN. HE GETS THE BALL. THEY THEY GIVE IT TO HIM AT THAT LEFT NAIL THAT LEFT ELBOW. AND BECAUSE

HE LIKES THAT LEFT PULL BACK DRIBBLE AND HE’S SEEING THE
