TNT Crew reacts to Timberwolves vs Clippers Highlights & Kawhi Injury

TO GO I DID. WE WERE REALLY CLOSE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING. MY PARLAY MISSED BY ONE HEART AND ASSIST. BUT MINNESOTA GOES FROM DOWN 22 TO UP 22. >> WHAT ARE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> WHAT AM I, KANDICE BARBER WITH NO CLIPPERS. >> YO. >> WITH NO CLIPPERS.

>> SOMETHING’S WRONG WITH YOU. >> WELCOME BACK JAMAL CRAWFORD. >> DING DING DING DING DING. >> YOU WIN A MILLION DOLLARS CANDACE PARKER YOU GOT ONE CLIP RIGHT THERE WAS A LOT OF POSSIBLE CLIPPER WAS MISSING OKAY. >> THEY GOT HURT. >> YEAH KAWHI DID GO HOME EARLY. BUT LET’S CHECK OUT

THESE HIGHLIGHTS AND HOW WE GOT HERE WITH SHAQ DOING INSIDE CLIPPER JOKES. OH THAT MAN A CAT. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT ANTHONY EDWARDS THAT IS SPECIAL. AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE THE NEWS ON KAWHI LEONARD. HOPEFULLY. WE REALLY HOPE THAT HE’S DOING OKAY. THE CLIPPERS GOT OFF

TO A HOT START. HARDEN TRIPLE THEN JOHN PAUL GEORGE TO KAWHI. THE FLOATER. AND THEN LEONARD TO GEORGE. PAUL GEORGE GO BASELINE SLAM. CLIPPERS UP 15 EARLY IN THE FIRST SECOND QUARTER NORMAN POWELL EXTENDING THE LEAD AT THIS POINT. KAWHI HAD ALREADY GONE TO THE LOCKER ROOM CHANGED INTO STREET

CLOTHES. BUT THE CLIPPERS STILL HAD THE LEAD. THIS IS ABOUT THE TIME WHEN SHAQ LOOKED AT US AND SAID, MINNESOTA’S COMING BACK TO WIN THIS GAME. AND ANTHONY EDWARDS WENT CRAZY. >> BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? I RECOGNIZE ALIEN FOR MY PLANET OF BAIA. BAIA BAIA STANDS FOR BUST YOUR. OH

NICE. HE’S IN LA. HE WANTS ALL THE SMOKE. HE WANTS TO BE GREAT. HE KNOWS HIS TEAM IS UNDERMANNED. LISTEN WE COULD BE DOWN 1520, BUT HERE I COME. AND THEN KAWHI GOES AWAY. AND LIKE YOU SAID IN THE INTERVIEW, IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE BEST DEFENDER ON HIM AND YOU’RE JUST PUTTING

ALL THESE, YOU KNOW, OTHER LITTLE CATS ON THEM, I’M GONNA GO TO WORK. AND EVERYBODY ELSE KAWHI LEFT THE ARENA DUE TO BACK SPASMS, DID NOT RETURN EVERYBODY ELSE PLAYED INSPIRE AND LISTEN. WHEN YOUR LEADER PLAYS HARD AND YOU START DOING THINGS, THE OTHERS WILL FOLLOW. >> NICKEIL ALEXANDER-WALKER UNCONSCIOUS. JACYN.

>> OH, GET THEM KNEES UP, RUDY. >> FIVE THREES. >> SO LOOK AT THAT. LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THIS. >> YEAH. >> GOOD LUCK. MOVE THAT. FADE AWAY. >> OOH THAT’S TOO MUCH GAME SAUCE. >> TOO MUCH HOOP GAME I RECOGNIZE HIM FROM THE PLANET MAYA. >> HE’S ONE OF OUR YOUNG

MARTIANS. >> MINNESOTA NOW WITH A SIX POINT LEAD. MIKE CONLEY WAS FEELING IT AS WELL. HE HAD FIVE THREES TEN THREES. RUDY ALEXANDER-WALKER WHEN THAT HAPPENS TO YOU YOU’RE LIKE OH I LIKE THAT FOUL RUDY LASHES. >> YES. >> RIGHT THERE. >> WHEN YOU’RE FLYING THROUGH THE AIR. >> ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE

LIKE THAT RIGHT THERE KICKING HIS LEGS LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER. GOBERT HE DID NOT RETURN. >> SO ANOTHER INJURY. AS YOU CAN SEE, GRABBING HIS CHEST. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO MONITOR GOING FORWARD. >> THERE’S SOME ICY HOT RIB JUICE. >> OH, RIB JUICE NOW FROM ICY HOT ANTHONY EDWARDS TWO

THREES IN THIS 137 POINTS. >> THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES OUTSCORED THE CLIPPERS BY 26 IN THE SECOND HALF ALONE. OUTSCORED THEM BY 16 ON THE FAST BREAK 22 IN THE PAINT. GOBERT HAD SEVEN OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS. THE ENTIRE CLIPPERS ROSTER HAD EIGHT OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS . BUT THE TIMBERWOLVES, IN A VERY TIGHT WESTERN

CONF OF COURSE LED BY 12 FROM TYRESE HALIBURTON. LET’S LOOK AT THOSE WESTERN CONFERENCE STANDINGS AND EVERYTHING THAT CHANGED. THUNDER WITH THE LOSS NOW MOVES THEM INTO A TIE FOR FIRST WITH THE NUGGETS. IT ALSO MEANS THAT THE TIMBERWOLVES, WITH THEIR WIN ARE JUST A HALF A GAME BACK.

THE TOP OF THE STANDINGS RIGHT NOW ARE TOUGH. THE THIRD PLACE TEAM RIGHT NOW WOULD FACE THE PHOENIX SUNS. AND YOU SAW ALL THE ACTION DOWN THERE. PUT THAT BACK UP ONE MORE TIME. LET’S PUT THE STANDINGS UP. SHAQ IS STILL PROCESSING HIS BIG TAKE. SHAQ WHAT DO YOU SEE I DON’T

KNOW CANDACE AND JAMAL. >> IF YOU GUYS EVER THOUGHT LIKE THIS. IF YOU’RE THE NUGGETS DO YOU WANT TO STAY TOO. BECAUSE IF THE PLAYOFFS START TODAY YOU PLAY THE WINNER OF THE KINGS AND MAVERICKS. OR DO YOU TRY TO GO AND WIN AND FACE A DANGEROUS LAKERS WARRIORS?

>> SOME OTHER THINGS COULD HAPPEN TOO. >> YEAH, I’D BE A LOSER THOUGH. IF YOU’RE ONE SEED AND HERE’S WHAT THE BRACKETS WOULD BE TODAY IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN MINNESOTA PHOENIX CLIPPERS. >> PELICANS AND THEN OF COURSE OKC AND DENVER FACING WHOEVER COMES OUT OF THAT MIX. >> IF YOU’RE THE NUGGETS

AFTER YOU’VE ALREADY PROVEN YOU CAN WIN IT YOU’LL PLAY ANYWHERE. I KNOW MIKE MALONE I PLAY FOR HIM. HE’S ASSISTANT COACH WITH THE KNICKS. HE’S GOING TO HAVE THEM WRAP IT UP TO PLAY ANYWHERE. REMEMBER WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT THE LAKERS BEFORE. HE WANTS ALL THE SMOKE WITH ANYBODY. YEAH BUT

WE DEFINITELY WANTS TO SMOKE WITH THE LAKERS. >> WE ALL KNOW IT’S ABOUT MATCHUPS I WOULDN’T WANT TO PLAY GOLDEN STATE. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN KLAY WAKES UP BECAUSE RIGHT NOW NOBODY’S REALLY YOU KNOW SCOUTING FOR KLAY. BUT DUDE I DON’T WANT HIM HAVING 2 OR

3 GOOD GAMES. AND THEN YOU KNOW PUTTING PRESSURE ON HIM. SO I WOULD RATHER PLAY SACRAMENTO OR DALLAS. IF I WAS DENVER I THINK IT’S ALSO AVOIDING PHOENIX. >> LIKE THE THIRD SEED TO ME IS THE ONE OF THE THREE OF THE TIMBERWOLVES. THUNDER CAN YOU IMAGINE A THUNDER PHOENIX FIRST ROUND MATCHUP

A T WOLVES PHOENIX FIRST ROUND MATCHUP OR A DENVER PHOENIX FIRST ROUND MATCHUP. SO TO ME I THINK THE TEAM IN THAT PLAYOFF IS TO AVOID IS LIKE WHERE YOU’RE JOCKEYING FOR POSITION IS THAT. >> AND IT’LL PROBABLY BE ONE OF THOSE THREE LIKE YOU SAID LIKE PHOENIX IS GOING TO BE

THE MOST DANGEROUS THAT NOBODY’S TALKING ABOUT. I’M TELLING YOU, SHAQ, THEY’RE GOING TO BE DANGEROUS GOING DOWN THE STRETCH. >> I WANT TO GIVE THE YOUNG GUY MORE PROPS. FROM WHAT WE SAW FROM ANTHONY EDWARDS BEFORE. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS TEAM WITHOUT KARL

ANTHONY TOWNS AND WHAT THAT’S GOING TO BE ON ANTHONY EDWARDS SHOULDERS. AND WE WERE IN THE BACK AFTER EVERY PLAY GOING, WOW, I JUST WANT TO GIVE HIM MORE CREDIT ON NATIONAL TV. BEING DOWN 22 AND WINNING BY 22, SHAQ SAID IT EARLIER LIKE HE’S SEEN A YOUNG KOBE.

>> HE’S SEEN A YOUNG D-WADE AND MAN IS CUT FROM THAT CLOTH. THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. HE WANTS TO BE GREAT. HE WANTS TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST. LOOK WHO’S HERE. LOOK WHAT HE’S DGARDEN . HE’S NOT HIDING LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO AND SAYING, YOU

KNOW, I’M GONNA GO GUARD OVER HERE AWAY FROM THE ACTION OF PAUL GEORGE. HE’S LIKE NEO IN THE MATRIX RIGHT THERE. >> THAT WAS TRULY INCREDIBLE. >> AND JAMAL TO I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING. LIKE SGA IMPRESSES ME, BUT THE FIRST TWO YEARS I DIDN’T REALLY HEAR ABOUT HIM. AND MAN HAS

BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. SO I DON’T HAVE TO TEACH HIM HOW TO BE A DOG. HE’S, HE’S ALREADY A DOG. HE’S THE, HE’S, HE’S THE PUPPY LITTER THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THEM PIT BULLS HE’S THAT ONE PIT BULL THAT’S ALREADY BITING AND GOING CRAZY. HE’S GOING I

WANT HIM. THAT’S THE ONE ON ONE. SO, YOU KNOW, NO DISRESPECT TO SGA, BUT HE DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW WHEN HE WAS WITH THE CLIPPERS HE WASN’T DOING WHAT HE’S DOING NOW. SO HE’S DEVELOPING TO THAT. ANT-MAN HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE. SO AND HE’S A REAL

DOG LIKE YES HE IS SOME FAKE DOGS WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL THERE YOU KNOW THEY’RE NOT FRONT RUNNING BUT THEY’RE RUNNING IN FRONT. >> HE’S A REAL DOG. HE’S GOING TO GET YOU. >> YOU KNOW, I WILL SAY THIS. AND MAN, IF HE’S ON THAT LEVEL, WHICH HE RAISES

TO THE OCCASION, RISES TO THE OCCASION AND I THINK HIS POST GAME INTERVIEW FOR ME IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU CAN’T TEACH LIKE THAT UNWAVERING BELIEF IN YOURSELF. AND THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED IN THE PLAYOFFS. LIKE HE DOESN’T DOUBT IT. IF HE’S 15 FOR 29, HE’S GOING TO TAKE THE SAME SHOT AND

PLAY THE SAME WAY. AND I THINK A YOUNG TEAM OR A YOUNG STAR LIKE HIM, AND I KNOW YOU DON’T LIKE TO SAY IT. WE’LL JUST SAY CAT. BUT HE REMINDS ME A LOT OF THE GREATS THAT PLAY ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR LIKE THIS ISN’T JUST HIM LEADING

OFFENSIVELY. THIS IS HIM LEADING THE TIMBERWOLVES. DEFENSIVELY, THEY’RE THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE DEFENSIVELY. >> FOURTH SEEDED TEAM RIGHT NOW IN THE WEST IS THE CLIPPERS. THEY LOSE THIS GAME. COACH TY LUE SITTING DOWN AT THE PODIUM. NOW LET’S TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

>> TY WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT KAWHI’S ISSUE. AND WAS HE DEALING WITH THIS EARLIER THAN TONIGHT. >> YEAH HE’S BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BACK SPASMS AND, WASN’T SURE IF HE WAS GOING TO GO THIS MORNING, BUT HE CAME TO SHOOTAROUND AND GOT SOME TREATMENT, DID WHAT HE

HAD TO DO, AND TRIED TO GET ON THE COURT AND PLAY TODAY. AND, IT JUST DIDN’T IT DIDN’T LOOSEN UP FOR HIM. >> DO YOU, DO YOU THINK HE CAN MAKE THE UPCOMING TRIP, I’M NOT SURE. I HOPE SO. >> YOU HAVE, I DON’T WANT TO ATTRIBUTE. >> ALL RIGHT. SO, THERE WAS

HE LEFT SUNDAY’S GAME KAWHI DID WITH A GROIN INJURY. WE’RE GOING TO WAIT AND SEE. THE CLIPPERS ARE GOING ON A ROAD TRIP. FOUR OF THEIR NEXT FIVE ARE ON THE ROAD. THEY GO TO CHICAGO TO NEW ORLEANS HOME AGAINST ATLANTA. AND THEN TWO STRAIGHT GAMES IN PORTLAND. BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A

SCARY SIGHT IN ALL STAR FOR THE CLIPPERS. THE REASON THAT I THINK EVERYONE BELIEVES IN THE CLIPPERS IS BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN HEALTHY. STARTING IN 57 OF 63 GAMES. IF HE DOESN’T GO, IT DOES SEEM LIKE THE WESTERN CONFERENCE AS A WHOLE COULD CHANGE. IT’S SOMETHING WE’LL MONITOR. AND AGAIN, WE’RE

HOPING THAT HE IS OKAY. >> YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TEAMS HAVE THAT IF THEY’RE HEALTHY TO PLAY WELL. KNICKS ARE ONE OF THOSE TEAMS, PHILLIES ONE OF THOSE TEAMS. AND SAME GOES FOR THE CLIPPERS. YOU KNOW IF THOSE GUYS ARE HEALTHY THEY’RE DEFINITELY DANGEROUS. CANDACE SHOWED IN

THE FIRST HALF WHEN THEY ALL WERE IN THEY WERE MOVING THE BALL VERY FLUID OUT THERE. LOOKED REALLY GOOD. BUT ONE OF THOSE GUYS GO DOWN AND THEN ONE OF THE OTHER TWO DON’T STEP UP. AND YOU DON’T HAVE A RUSSELL WESTBROOK. THEY BECOME A REGULAR TEAM. THAT’S WHY WHEN I WAS

LOOKING AT AND I’M SAYING YOU KNOW, THIS KID IS A DOG. HE WANTS IT THERE IN LA. THERE’S THREE PLACES YOU ALWAYS GOT TO HAVE A GREAT GAME IN LA MIAMI AND NEW YORK. AND WHEN HE WALK INTO THAT ARENA IN THAT HOODIE, I ALREADY KNEW IT WAS LIKE,

HEY, I’M IN LA. I’VE BEEN OUT HERE A FEW DAYS. NICE FEELING, NICE. I KNOW I’M GOING TO GO TO WORK. SO WHEN THEY GOT DOWN BY 20, A GUY LIKE AN WHO NEVER STOPS. THAT’S WHY I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT WITH KAWHI GOING OUT THE CLIPPERS GOING TO HAVE

SOME YOU KNOW SOME YOU KNOW VOLTAGE. AND THEN HE’S JUST GOING TO DO WHAT HE DOES I THINK HE WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING THE CLIPPERS TO THE PLAYOFFS HEALTHY WHICH HE’S TALKED ABOUT. >> BUT A BIGGER PIECE I MEAN RUSSELL WESTBROOK FINISHED A LOT OF GAMES FOR THE CLIPPERS. AND HE

ORCHESTRATED A LOT OF NORMAN POWELL’S SHOTS AND SO NOW YOU SEE BONES HYLAND MOVING INTO THAT ROLE. AND HE DOESN’T PLAY THE FACILITATING. PUSH THE BALL CHANGE THE TEMPO THAT RUSS DOES. SO I THINK NOT ONLY KAWHI BEING OUT BUT ALSO RUSS NOT BEING IN TO KIND OF USHER THAT SECOND UNIT INTO

THAT THIRD QUARTER. AND WHAT THEY SCORED 15 POINTS IN THAT THIRD QUARTER, WHICH I THINK HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON THEM AND THE DEPTH THIS IS WHAT IT’S FOR, RIGHT. >> OBVIOUSLY NOBODY CAN REPLACE KAWHI. BUT THAT MEANS TO SHAQ’S POINT, THIS IS WHERE PG HAS TO GO TO 30.

NOW HARDEN HAS TO GO TO 25. AND OH BY THE WAY NORMAN POWELL HAD 11 AT THE HALF. HE ENDED WITH 11. HE HAS TO GO UP TO 20. POWELL ONLY TOOK 3 OR 4 MORE SHOTS. >> BUT HIS POWELL TO GET HIS OWN SHOT KIND OF HE CAN GO

GET HIS SOME. AND I DIDN’T SAY HE CAN’T. I’M SAYING WHERE HE’S BEEN SUCCESSFUL. IT’S BEEN USUALLY ON THE CATCH AND SHOOT IT IS. >> BUT MY THING IS HE TOOK SIX SHOTS AT THE HALF. HE ENDED WITH NINE SHOTS. LIKE THAT’S WHERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE AGGRESSIVENESS TO

KEEP GOING BECAUSE YOUR TEAM NEEDS IT. RIGHT NOW YOU’RE MISSING YOUR TOP GUN, BUT LONG TERME. IF KAWHI IS NOT HEALTHY, IT ISN’T THE CLIPPERS. IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER AT THAT POINT. >> AND I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEEDINGS. I KNOW WE CAN FOCUS ON THE FIRST

ROUND MATCHUPS HOME COURT ADVANTAGE IN THE SECOND ROUND IS GOING TO BE SO IMPORTANT. YOU LOOK AT THOSE TOP THREE TEAMS IN THE WEST OKLAHOMA CITY 26 AND SEVEN AT HOME, 19 AND 13 ON THE ROAD, DENVER 27 AND SIX AT HOME 18 AND 14 ON
