The Tuesday Crew Talks The Mavs’ Fifth-Straight Win + An Updated Look At The West | NBA on TNT
GIVE. IT’S PLAYOFF BASKETBALL. >> WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY TO STUDIO J FOR GAMES THE ASSOCIATION I AGREE WITH KENNEDY. >> THAT’S NO TV EXIST TO A OF WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE LUKA IN A BIG OLD BACK. >> BUT A LITTLE BOOTY. THAT’S A VIDEO. SHAQ GOT A
BIG OLD BACK BUT A LITTLE BOOTY. >> WE LEARNED A LOT TONIGHT, WE LEARNED THAT THE LAKERS CAN WIN WITHOUT LEBRON. WE LEARNED THAT THE MAVS ARE SCARY AND ON INSTAGRAM WE LEARNED THAT SHAQ AS BIG BACK BIG OLD BACK AND A LITTLE BOOTY. >> YOU SAID IT. I DID.
>> WELCOME INSIDE STUDIO J THIS IS CANDACE, THE VOICE IN THAT VIDEO. JAMAL AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER. AND HERE’S THE GUY WITH THE BIG BACK AND THE LITTLE BOOTIES. AND I’M ADAM LEFKOE, WE JUST WATCHED THE MAVERICKS ABSOLUTELY DISMANTLE THE KINGS. WHY DON’T WE WATCH IT ONE MORE TIME? >> LET’S DO IT.
>> AIN’T NOBODY WATCHING THAT. >> SABONIS DOMANTAS SABONIS AND THE KINGS TRYING TO FIGHT WITH LUKA AND THE MAVS FOR THAT VAUNTED SIXTH SPOT. WINNER HAS THE EDGE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE PLAYOFFS. LUKA ON FIRE IN THE FIRST HALF. YES. >> AND SO WOW OH MY GOODNESS WHERE ARE YOU GOING.
>> CROSSED UP. >> IT’S OBVIOUS FROM THE SCORE THE MAVERICKS WANTED IT WAY MORE THAN THE KINGS DID. >> OH MY GOODNESS. >> AND WHY DID THAT PLAY WORK. >> BECAUSE AIN’T NOTHING OVER THERE. >> BECAUSE HIS PIVOT FOOT WAS HIS RIGHT FOOT. THANK YOU. >> YEAH I DIDN’T KNOW THAT PART.
>> HE AIN’T GONNA DUNK IT THOUGH. NO HE AIN’T DUNKING IT LUKA HAD 26 POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF. >> HERE’S THREE MORE LEFT. >> STEP BACK THE 13TH TIME THIS SEASON HE’S HAD 26. >> HE ONLY HAD TWO IN THE SECOND HALF. WHY. >> BUT IT DID NOT MATTER
BECAUSE KYRIE SAID OH HE STILL DUNKING RAMADAN KYRIE. >> HOW ABOUT THAT. >> STILL HAVING THE ENERGY MAVERICKS GO ON A 15 TO 2 RUN. HE DOES INSIDE. HE DOES OUTSIDE. AND WE KNOW HE DOES. >> IT’S A LIVE KYRIE. IT’S ALIVE LUCA LUCA LOVED IT KYRIE WITH 24 AND EIGHT
ASSISTS TEN OF 19 FROM THE FLOOR SIXTH MAN OF THE YEAR MONK KYRIE HAD 12 IN THE THIRD QUARTER MALIK MONK UNDOUBTEDLY BOBBY PORTIS WAS SIXTH MAN OF THE YEAR. >> HE’S FINAL FOR CANDACE. >> YES THEY ARE UNDOUBTEDLY IN COMPETITION. >> BUT IT WAS TOO MUCH KYRIE
. IT WAS TOO MUCH MAVS KYRIE LUKA AND TIM HARDAWAY JR ALL SCORED OVER 20 POINTS. THEY HIT 22 THREES WHICH IS UP THERE FOR THEIR SECOND BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON. AND THIS IS TIED FOR THE BIGGEST LOSS OF THE YEAR FOR THE SACRAMENTO KINGS. YOU DO
NOT WANT BIG LOSSES AT THIS POINT OF THE YEAR. 132 TO 96 A 36 POINT WIN AS SHAQ PLAYS SOME MUSIC ON THE OUTRO. BUT SABONIS DOES GET A DOUBLE DOUBLE. HIS 5550 FIFTH CONSECUTIVE DOUBLE DOUBLE STATE WISE. DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING IN THE BIG PICTURE FOR DALLAS 36 POINT WIN OVER SACRAMENTO?
>> I THINK IT MEANS MORE TO THEM THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. AND NOW WITH KYRIE AND LUKA HAVING THEIR FLOW THEIR TEAMMATES HAVE LEARNED HOW TO PLAY WITH THEM AS WELL. AND THAT’S WHAT MADE THE TEAM THE MAVS, DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT PLAYING. YOUR TURN, MY TURN BASKETBALL. THEY’RE APPRECIATING EACH OTHER AND
ELEVATING EACH OTHER AND PLAYING OFF OF EACH OTHER BETTER, WHICH PUTS EVERYBODY ON THE ROAD AND THE ROAD SIDE IN THEIR NATURAL POSITION TO BE ROLE PLAYERS. >> 34 ASSISTS HIM. >> YEAH 34 ASSISTS. AND A LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO OF THE BEST ONE ON
ONE PLAYERS IN THE GAME. AND SO YOU’RE ABLE TO BREAK DOWN DRAW TWO AND FIND OPEN SHOOTERS AND PEOPLE WITH MISMATCH MISMATCHES I MEAN YOU LOOK AT THIS GAME AND IT’S LIKE RIGHT NOW WELL BEFORE TONIGHT THERE WERE THREE TEAMS WITH 42 WINS. IT’S LIKE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW
THIS GAME CAN IMPACT YOUR PLAYOFF RIGHT. MATCHUPS WHETHER YOU HAVE TO DO THE PLAN WHETHER YOU GET REST. SO IT’S LIKE FROM NOW ON, GAMES ON THESE NIGHTS MATTER. AND SO FOR THE MAVS TO BE WINNERS OF EIGHT OF THEIR LAST NINE GAMES, I THINK THAT THEY ARE MAKING A
STATEMENT AND THEY PLAY AGAIN ON FRIDAY IN SACRAMENTO. >> SO THEY’LL GET REVENGE QUICKLY. >> AND THESE WERE PLAYOFF NUMBERS BY THOSE TWO. LIKE YOU DIDN’T SEE 45 AND 38 LIKE THESE HAD 37 ATTEMPTS COMBINED. EVERY EVERY POINT MEANT SOMETHING. THEY PLAYED POSSESSION BASKETBALL. THEY PLAYED IT LIKE APPROACHED IT
LIKE IT WAS A PLAYOFF GAME. >> QUESTION FOR THE PANEL. YES, PLEASE. IF YOU’RE A DALLAS RIGHT NOW, YOU’RE NUMBER SIX. SO PLAYOFFS START TODAY. YOU BE MINNESOTA OR OKC OR DENVER OR DO YOU TRY TO GO AFTER THE CLIPPERS AND PLAY THE PELICANS IN THE FIRST ROUND.
>> HOW MANY GAMES BACK ARE THEY OF THE FIVE SEED RIGHT NOW. >> OUT OF THE FIVE SEED TWO GAMES OUT. CLIPPERS 27 LOSSES DALLAS 29 LOSSES. BECAUSE THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY, DENVER, OKC OR MINNESOTA WILL BE A TOUGH FIRST ROUND. SO DO YOU TRY TO MOVE UP AND POSSIBLY PLAY
THE CLIPPERS OR THE NEW ORLEANS PELICANS AT THAT FIVE SEED, OR DO YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE. WELL HOW ABOUT THIS. >> HOW ABOUT WE WATCH A GAME BETWEEN THE THUNDER AND THE PELICANS. AND WE SEE HOW THEY LOOK. AND THEN WE CAN JUDGE IN FACT THEY DID PLAY TONIGHT ANOTHER GAME LIKE
OUR FIRST GAME. LAKERS BUCKS THAT HAD A SERIES OF RUNS EARLY ON OKLAHOMA CITY WAS DOING WHATEVER THEY WANTED. JOSH GIDDEY FLOATER DOWN THE LANE THEN ZION THANK YOU. THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO SEE. >> THIS IS YOUR SHOW TONIGHT. >> YES. AND HE’S LOOKING SVELTE. >> OH SCA SPIN PULL UP
JUMPER MVP 24 EIGHT ASSISTS FOR HIM. >> BULLY BALL. >> BULLY BALL J DUB I LIKE J DUB 26 POINTS FOR HIM. >> THAT WAS A MORTAL KOMBAT CROSSOVER. >> GET OVER HERE SGA SPIN ONE MORE TIME. >> THAT’S THE SAME PLAY. >> YEAH APPARENTLY THAT’S IN THE BAG.
>> SO OKLAHOMA CITY UP 15 AT HALFTIME SGA TRYING TO ADD TO IT MAKES IT 16. >> NOTHING WITH THAT MASH. >> AND THEN HERE COME THE PELICANS A 14 TO 2 RUN. NAJI MARSHALL KNOCKING DOWN THE TRIPLE. >> THAT’S RIGHT BIG DOG. >> PUT THAT ZION OVER ZION
HAD 29 POINTS TEN ASSISTS FIVE REBOUNDS. >> HE’S BEEN BALLING ZION. >> OH THE TOUCH OVER THE LONG STRETCHED ARM OF CHET HOLMGREN TREY MURPHY. CHECK OUT THE BENCH RACK ON THIS. THEY’RE LOVING IT. NOW THEY’RE UP THREE AFTER ALL OF THAT WITH THREE MINUTES LEFT AND A FLOATER FROM C.J
MCCULLUM. THEY’RE UP FIVE. >> OH RIGHT BACK AT HERE COME THE THUNDER SGA TIES IT FOR THREE. >> THEN JALEN WILLIAMS THE DAGGER. SO OKLAHOMA CITY WENT UP. HUGE. PELICANS COME STORMING BACK. AND THEN THE THUNDER ANSWER AND KNOCK OUT PUNCH. >> LOOK AT THE SCORE. >> LIKE I’M LOVING SEEING
THE SCORES BECAUSE THAT TELLS YOU THEY’RE ALL GETTING READY AND GEARING UP FOR THE PLAYOFFS. GETTING READY FOR THAT SECOND SEASON 119 TO 112. THAT MEANS EVERY POINT MATTERS. EVERY POINT IS HARD FOUGHT. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE AT THE END OF THE SEASON. >> NO, I JUST THINK THAT IF
WE LOOK AT LIKE THE WAY OKC IS BUILT, I FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A CLOSER IN SGA THAT WE KNEW TO START THE SEASON. THAT’S WHO THAT GUY WAS. BUT TO ME IS JALEN WILLIAMS. I MEAN FOR TO WATCH HIM AND THEY’RE STARTING HIM IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. NOW HE’S
KIND OF GETTING THE BALL IN HIS HANDS. HE’S THE PLAYMAKER. YOU GOT JOSH GIDDEY COMING IN AND HAVING GREAT NUMBERS TONIGHT. I THINK FOR ME THE PELICANS I MEAN THEY’RE MISSING INGRAM RIGHT WITH THAT KNEE INJURY WITH THAT KNEE INJURY. SO I WONDER WHAT THAT’S LOOKING LIKE. BUT ZION LOOKS GOOD.
LET’S GIVE HIM HIS CREDIT. YES BECAUSE HE’S HE’S REALLY PLAYING WELL. AND CJ MCCOLLUM I MEAN HE’S HE’S MAKING PLAYS AS WELL. >> AND WE TALK ABOUT THE WESTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS ALL THE TIME. SHACK TO LOOK DOWN AND SEE THE PELICANS AT FOUR. THEY QUIETLY RISE UP THERE. THEY WERE NOT BEING
TALKED ABOUT FOR A NUMBER OF WEEKS. AND NOW THEY’RE SITTING THERE NOT EVEN JUST TRYING TO GET IN THE PLAY IN BUT LOCKED INTO THE PLAYOFFS. >> LISTEN THEY’RE PLAYING WELL. ZION’S PLAYING WELL AGAIN. YOU KNOW THEY’RE MISSING ONE OF THEIR MAIN KEY PLAYERS. BUT TO GO BACK TO JUMBO AND KENNEDY’S POINT
WHAT WHAT IMPRESSED ME ABOUT THE OKC GAME I HAD THE LEAD LET THE LEAD SLIP AWAY. DIDN’T PANIC RIGHT. REGAINED THEIR COMPOSURE AND WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE GAME OUT. THAT’S SCARY FOR A YOUNG TEAM. NOT TO PANIC AND BE ABLE TO REGAIN THEIR COMPOSURE AND CLOSE THE GAME
OUT IN IN A WAY, ARENA FOR OKC. >> YEAH, I DON’T THINK THEY THINK THEY’RE A YOUNG TEAM ANYMORE. I THINK THEY JUST THINK THEY’RE ONE OF THE BETTER TEAMS BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN THAT ALL SEASON LONG. THEY’RE NOT LOOKING LIKE I JUST SAW SOMETHING. I THINK THE AVERAGE AGE OF NORTH
CAROLINA MAYBE IS RIGHT AROUND THE SAME SAME AS OKC, BUT THEY DON’T SEE THEMSELVES LIKE THAT. THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS HAVING THIS GOOD CHANCE. >> J-DUB IS NICE, JUST LIKE CANDACE SAID. >> AND THEIR COACH, COACH DAIGNEAULT IS GOOD TOO. >> I ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION BECAUSE YOU GUYS ALWAYS TELL
ME IT’S A LEAGUE OF MATCHUPS. YOU’RE LOOKING AT OKLAHOMA CITY. THEY’RE AT THE TWO. I’M LOOKING AT THE SEVENS, THE EIGHTS, THE SIXES. WHAT ARE THE GOOD MATCHUPS FOR OKLAHOMA CITY. ARE THOSE BOTTOM TEAMS AND WHAT ARE THE SCARY MATCHUPS FOR THOSE TEAMS? >> DON’T WANT TO PLAY PHOENIX.
>> YOU WANT TO PLAY LAKERS. >> YOU DON’T WANT TO PLAY THE LAKERS. >> THEY DO. >> THE LAKERS SCARE OKLAHOMA CITY. >> DALLAS OKC IS GETTING WORKED BY THE LAKERS. >> YOU GOT TO BE SCARED TO OKC. >> BIG MAN HAVE HAD SUCCESS OKAY OKAY SEE STRUGGLING
AGAINST YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED TO REWATCH THE LAKERS. >> WE’RE GOING TO COME BACK. WE’RE GOING TO WATCH THE LAKERS HIGHLIGHTS. AND THEN WE CAN DISCUSS LAKERS OR THUNDER. THEN WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. >> OKC AIN’T SCARED OF NOBODY. >> NO REALLY. THEY SHOULD BE. YOU ON THE BANDWAGON.
>> IT SHOULDN’T BE J DUB AND SGA MVP. >> YOU THINK THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP THOUGH. >> WE’RE GOING TO NEED ERNIE TO WRITE IT ON A POST-IT NOTE ON THURSDAY THAT THIS YEAR YOU THINK THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP TO BEAT DENVER IN

Candace is the Kenny of this crew lol they even put her in the same spot
What's Shaq's issue with the Mavs?
I realllyyy realllyyy wanna see the Knicks vs Mavs in the finals
Are you not entertain Shaq lol
PELICANS arent going to be 4th seed.
ITS the opposite..
CLIPPERS are 4th seed.
IF MAVS get the 5th seed is over PELICANS who will finish 5th or 6th…
luka, MVP!
Mavs going to be first to exit the playoffs
Kings played their 5th game in 7 nights. I put this one as a schedule lost. Let's see how they do when they are evenly matched on Friday. I bet the outcome will be different.
Mavs have figured it out and Zion is having his best season
Pelicans need Ingram, Zion, and McCollum to be healthy. Any one of those guys down, and they have NO chance.
Shaq is a bigot, theses people are allowed to be openly bigoted with no consequences
Racists people will always ecpose themselces because they belive in this philosophy American Black Lives Matter More Than Others. It's all about the money and branding that's why they hate them whitebois. When's the last this show ir First Take had on any new Latinos or Asians as new hosts? Exactly
SHAQ keep saying SGA for MVP when SGA keeps being the 3rd best player on his team..
IF LUKA played some games as the 3rd best player on his team SHAQ would probably not even take him to the all-star
Ramadan Kyrie is legit
The Mavs won't be scary until they can play defense.
Nobady wants to see nobody in the playoffs 🥱
People trolling Giddey, but man is a baller
This sh..ow so boring without the old Crew..
why you have shaq that freestyle with these guys that are stiff as a stick? come on… eather you remove him and have a stiff show or ask them to chill a bit
This panel is trash, Cadence trash, love Jamal as a bball player but not as the analyst. They need Dennis Scott up there with Shaq
Candace jacket looks like grandma's drapes
Candace dressed like carpet salesman
Candice dressed like her favorite Disney character is carpet from Aladdin
luka hate is becomming mainstream !
Luka Doncic is the MVP
I think Dallas will fancy playing okc
Where is the OG crew ??
i really wish tnt would get their act together and put a solid desk in front of this crew.. not only does it look sloppy to show the diffrent height foot rests , we dont need see their legs and shoes.. candice looks so awkard down there..if your gonna do that, replace adam with rachel nichols… or anyone cause hes the worst…
