TNT on Tuesday Crew Recaps Golden State’s Home Win + NBA’s 65-Game Award Requirement | NBA on TNT

? >> HIGH ENERGY ACTION ACROSS THE NBA. AND WE ARE HERE IN STUDIO J IN ATLANTA TO TAKE YOU THROUGH ALL OF IT. KIA. POST GAME SHOW. IF YOU JUST HEARD OUR CONVERSATION WITH STEPH, YOU KNOW, THESE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE VINCE CARTER, JAMAL CRAWFORD, CANDACE PARKER LET US WASTE

ZERO NO TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE PLENTY TO GET TO. LET’S GET RIGHT TO THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT GAME. GOLDEN STATE AND PHILADELPHIA BOTH TEAMS ON LITTLE LOSING STREAKS TRYING TO TURN IT AROUND JOEL EMBIID WAS A GAME TIME DECISION AND THAT GAME TIME DECISION WOULD PLAY A ROLE LATER. DRAYMOND GREEN, TONY

BROTHERS GIVE ME A LITTLE LEEWAY TONIGHT PLEASE. >> IN THE AIR YEAH IN THE AIR. >> THIS IS WHAT I’M GOING TO DO. DRAYMOND GREEN YOU DON’T SEE THIS OFTEN CALLED FOR A FOUL ON THE TIP OFF A LITTLE OVERSEAS TRICK. >> THAT’S WHAT THEY DO OVERSEAS ALL THE TIME TONY

BROTHERS YOU CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT. >> BUT THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES INTO THE GAME, ANOTHER FOUL FOR DRAYMOND. AND HE HAS TO SIT. THAT BALANCE IS WHAT HE’S TRYING TO FIND. >> HE LEARNED OUT IN THE BLOCK THAT WASN’T NO STEVE STEPHEN CURRY WITH THE

REBOUND OUTLET STOLEN BY EMBIID. >> NOT A LOT OF BIG MAN’S CAN DO THAT 17 TO 14. NOW WE’RE TIED AT 21. PAT BEV CORNER TRIPLE SHOT DOWN. WARRIORS MOVING THE BALL. DRAYMOND GREEN TOP OF THE ARC SHOOTING WELL FROM BEYOND THE ARC THIS YEAR PISEMSKY IS GOING TO FIND

STEPH CURRY. AND HE DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO HOLD THE BALL LONGER THAN A SECOND. HOW DO YOU LOSE HIM TIED AT 50 DARIO SARIC OH MY GOODNESS. >> OFF OF THE BUMP IN THE PIVOT OKOGIE KUMINGA HAS BEEN ON A TEAR. >> THERE WAS A STRETCH WHERE

HE NEVER HAD BACK TO BACK 20 POINT GAMES. HE HAD HIS SEVENTH STRAIGHT 20 PLUS. >> LOOKED LIKE THE CROSSOVER PRO-AM. >> OH MY GOODNESS. >> AND THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT CAN BE ON CROSSED UP. WOW STEPH CURRY KELLY OUBRE JORDAN PUSH A LITTLE BIT. HE’S ENCOURAGED IT. HE

ENCOURAGED THE FOOT WITH THE JAMAL FOUR POINT PLAY THERE PROBLEMS. >> THEN CURRY JEEZ EIGHT OF THOSE THREES JOEL IS NOT UP ON THE SCREEN. >> OH ONE OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS FOR THE SIXERS THOUGH TOBIAS HARRIS FINISHED WITH 26 BOWLING. >> CAN HE BE A CONSISTENT THIRD OPTION. YES THAT IS

THE QUESTION FOR THE SIXERS SUCCESS. WOW. TRACE JACKSON DAVIS JACKSON AND GREEN HEAD LOOKED LIKE HE WAS OVER THE RIM THERE. AND THEN KUMINGA FAST BREAK WAS FAST. >> REVERSE DUNK KUMINGA. >> AND AGAIN 37 POINTS EIGHT THREES EIGHT REBOUNDS SEVEN ASSISTS STEPHEN CURRY UNCONSCIOUS. >> HE’S ABLE TO SELL A MOVE

TO GET TO THE SHOT. >> HE LOST THAT ONE AND STILL GOT TO IT LOSES IT CANDACE IS TURNING AWAY BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SCARY SIGHT. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS JOEL EMBIID HAD GONE UP AND BACK TO THE LOCKER ROOM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT

THIS GAME. HE HAD TO PLAY EARLIER WITH HIM AND DRAYMOND WHERE HE COLLIDED. BUT THIS HE COMES UP INJURED ON THE GROUND IN PAIN AGAIN. WATCH KUMINGA HERE AS HE FALLS ON TO THE KNEE AND HE HAS TAKEN OFF. WE ARE GOING TO WAIT FOR MORE WORD ON

THIS. HE HAD MISSED THE LAST TWO GAMES AND AGAIN HE’S GETTING CLOSE TO THAT MARK WHERE IT WON’T BE A FULL 65 WHERE HE WON’T BE ELIGIBLE FOR MVP, WHERE HE WON’T BE ELIGIBLE FOR ALL NBA SOMETHING TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON. AND AGAIN, HE HAD A STREAK, I BELIEVE, OF 22

STRAIGHT 30 PLUS POINT GAMES. THAT COMES AN END TO AN END TONIGHT. UH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TELL HE WASN’T RIGHT. >> CORRECT. UM, ALL OF US UP HERE HAVE PLAYED THROUGH INJURIES AND HAVE PLAYED THROUGH THINGS, BUT YOU COULD TELL FROM THE MOMENT THE JUMP BALL HAPPENED THAT

HE WAS NOT RIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU PLAY LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY AT HIS SIZE AND HIS POSITION AND HOW MUCH IMPACT HE HAS ON THE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE END, IT’S JUST UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SEASON, YOU KNOW, 76 OR SEASON IS IN HIS HANDS. AND TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN

TIME AND TIME AGAIN, MAN GOODNESS. >> OH MY GOD. >> HE’S TALKED ABOUT HIS GOAL IS NOT TO JUST WIN MVP. IT’S CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING CHAMPIONSHIP. SO LEADING INTO ALL STAR BREAK AND AFTER YOU WANT JOEL EMBIID AS HEALTHY AS POSSIBLE TO PLAY HIS BEST BASKETBALL MVP BASKETBALL. SO YOU KNOW I

HOPE IT’S MINOR. IT LOOKS YOU KNOW LOOK BAD. BUT WE HOPE HE’S MINOR. HE’LL BE READY TO GO. >> CAN WE PUT UP THE GRAPHIC OF THE GAMES MISSED AND THE GUYS THAT ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE POSTSEASON AND AWARDS,

AND THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT AWARDS. THERE’S CONTRACT MONEY TIED INTO SOME OF THESE POST SEASON AWARDS, AS YOU SEE THERE. AND BEAT HALIBURTON AND EMBIID ARE DEALING WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. HALIBURTON DID SAY HE CAME OUT AND SAID IT’S NOT A RULE THAT HE LIKES. HIS COACH

EVEN CAME OUT TO HIS DEFENSE . DO YOU THINK JAMAL THIS IS FACTORING INTO SOMEONE LIKE EMBIID’S MINDSET ABOUT PLAYING HURT AND NOT RESTING UP FOR THE PLAYOFFS? I HOPE NOT, BECAUSE WE ALL WANT THESE GUYS TO PLAY LIKE THAT’S WHAT THEY DO. >> THAT’S WHAT WE DO AS ATHLETES. BUT IF WE’RE

RISKING FURTHER INJURY OR COMPENSATION OR ANYTHING FOR THAT, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NBA WAS DOING AS FAR AS, OKAY, LET’S GET THESE GUYS PLAYING. BUT NOT AT IF JOEL EMBIID IS HURT. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THEY’RE 6′ OR SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH OPTION ARE UNBELIEVABLE. WELL IT WON’T

MATTER. AND FOR THE LEAGUE THAT’S NOT GOOD BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE SO IMPORTANT. SO I’M JUST HOPING IT’S NOT SERIOUS AND WE’LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE AS FANS I DON’T HAVE A VOTE. I THINK YOU HAVE A VOTE LEFT CO EVEN IF THEY PLAYED WHATEVER NUMBER IT IS, PEOPLE STILL

HAVE TO VOTE FOR THEM. IF THEY MAKE IT OR NOT. THEY DON’T HAVE TO. THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE TO RISK THEMSELVES AND THEIR LIVELIHOOD TO SAY, I NEED TO MEET A QUOTA TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS STUFF. >> I THINK I NEVER LIKE TO TALK ABOUT A PERSON’S POCKET AND WHAT THEY’RE MAKING, BUT

IT’S REAL MONEY THAT THEY’RE LOSING BY NOT MAKING ALL NBA FOR THE TYRESE HALIBURTON ONE IS THE MOST GLARING. >> HE JUST SIGNED THE MAJOR EXTENSION. IF HE MAKES ANY OF THE ALL NBA AND BECAUSE HE WAS AN ALL STAR STARTER, YOU WOULD THINK HE’S ON THE TRACK FOR THAT. IT’S A $54

MILLION DIFFERENCE IF HE MAKES IT OR IF HE DOESN’T. AND SO HALIBURTON PLAYED TODAY AND THEY ARE TRYING TO GET PLAYERS TO PLAY. SO YOU UNDERSTAND I DON’T THINK THE INTENT WAS HARMFUL. NO I THINK I THINK RICK CARLISLE WHO’S THE HEAD OF THE COACHES ASSOCIATION, SAID WE

WILL NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS AFTER THE SEASON, BUT I DON’T IT SHOULDN’T BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. >> THERE’S THE PROBLEM. LIKE HE HE PLAYED, BUT IS HE PLAYING BECAUSE OF THAT? FOR THAT MONEY TO, YOU KNOW, IS HE RISKING INJURY BECAUSE OF THAT. THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING. OR IS HE IS HE

RISKING INJURY OR IT’S LIKE, OH OKAY, I’M GOOD. NOW YOU KNOW. SO I MEAN, I THINK THE NBA, NBA IS IN A TOUGH POSITION BECAUSE THEY’RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, REMY, THE ISSUE WHICH IS FINE. AND IT’S JUST IT JUST MIGHT NEED TO BE TWEAKED. >> JUST A LITTLE.

>> YOU’RE GOING TO NEED TWEAKS. YOU’RE GOING TO GO THROUGH, YOU KNOW EBBS AND FLOWS AND YOU KNOW, BUT YOU’RE GETTING SITUATIONS LIKE A HALIBURTON A SITUATION LIKE A JOEL EMBIID WHO CLEARLY IS PLAYING ON AN MVP LEVEL AND, YOU KNOW, BUT CLEARLY INJURED AND IF HE GOES DOWN THIS COULD BE A

SITUATION WHERE HE MISS MISSES THOSE GAMES THAT HE NEEDS THE COACH OF THE PHILADELPHIA 6′ 76ERS ARE NOW 29 AND 17 FOUR GAME LOSING STREAK. >> NICK NURSE TOOK THE PODIUM. LET’S TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU CAN SHARE WITH US ON JOEL

AND HIS TEAM RIGHT NOW? YEAH. >> SO, UM, HE, UH, OBVIOUSLY GOT LANDED ON, UH, SO THEY’RE GOING TO DO AN MRI TONIGHT OR TOMORROW. >> UM, IT’S KIND OF UNRELATED TO WHAT’S BEEN BOTHERING HIM. >> UM, SO WE JUST WAIT ON THAT. YEAH. SO YOU GUYS SAW THE PLAY RIGHT THERE? YOU

GOT LANDED. LANDED ON? YEAH >> WHAT WERE THE CONVERSATIONS IN CLEARING HIM TO PLAY TONIGHT IN GENERAL? AND HOW DID HE FEEL BEFORE? BEFORE THAT PLAY HAPPENED? HOW WAS HE FEELING? HOW WAS HE. YEAH. SO OBVIOUSLY MEDICAL CLEARED HIM. >> UH JOEL. OBVIOUSLY IS A BIG PART OF THAT. HE SAID HE

WAS FEELING GOOD. UM UH, HE, YOU KNOW, HE SAID HE’S MORE LITTLE RUSTY AND, YOU KNOW, HADN’T BEEN ON THE COURT FOR, FOR FIVE DAYS, BUT HE SAID HE FELT GOOD. YEAH ALL RIGHT. >> IT’LL BE SOMETHING THAT WE DO MONITOR. HE WAS DEALING WITH A LEFT KNEE INJURY. THIS IS AGAIN THE

LEADING SCORER IN THE NBA. 36 POINTS PER GAME. I JUST WANT TO WRAP UP THE WARRIORS SIDE OF THIS. WE TALK ABOUT STEPH. KUMINGA ACTUALLY SHOT MORE THAN STEPH TONIGHT 19 ATTEMPTS THERE HAS BEEN A POSITIVE SHIFT SINCE DRAYMOND CAME INTO THE STARTING LINEUP. AND KUMINGA THEY WERE 137 THE LAST THREE

GAMES. NOW 119 IN A VICTORY POSITIVITY POSSIBLY CURRY I THINK SO. >> JUST FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT KUMINGA FEELS LIKE HE COULD HAVE BEEN DOING THIS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE PERFORMANCES LIKE THIS, YOU NOT ONLY GET YOUR TEAMMATES TRUST, YOU GET YOUR COACHES TRUST. AND THE MORE STEVE

KERR CAN COACH HIM, THE MORE HE’S GOING TO HAVE HIM OUT THERE. IN THE BIG MOMENTS WITH THE BIG PLAYERS, OH, WE’LL GO THROUGH YOU IN THE OFFENSE AS WELL AND NOT JUST HAVE YOU BE ONE OF THE ROLE PLAYERS LIKE HE HAS THAT TYPE OF ATHLETICISM. HE

WORKS ON HIS GAME. HE WANTS TO BE GREAT. SO FOR
