NBA MUST-WIN: Warriors host Mavericks, Wemby vs. Jokic & Clippers-Kings | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

It’s time now for the most confusing segment in all of sports must win the rules are a delicate Dance of the literal and figurative and honestly while I usually use this time as an explainer of sorts this is a segment you have to parse all on your own high

Stakes tonight and we start with Bru Clippers headed to Sacramento they’ve won four in a row but no Kawaii tonight Brew while the kings are trying to claw their way out of the plan play in so Brew must win it’d be a nice win but no for who

Who well there you go um the Clippers the Clippers all right Clippers not a must-win they’ve won three straight got a little moment I know they haven’t been great teams although they beat Orlando um this is the fourth game on a road four game Road Trip they I don’t the NBA

Kind of did them dirty they just played in Charlotte had to fly all the way to Sacramento and now they’re playing the Kings and kawai’s out so I’m just being realistic it’d be a nice win for them to get but not a must-win I know the standing situation but that’s where I’m

At so it is not a must-win for the Clippers it is a must- win for the Kings because now that kawhai out you are trying to hold off the Lakers you don’t nobody you don’t want to drop to that nine line the Lakers desperately trying

To get out of that nine line and the King right now are in a you know basically tied with the Suns they’re both a couple losses ahead of the Lakers and now all of a sudden Sacramento gets the Clippers with no Kawai this is a

Game they’ve got to win so it’s yes it’s a must-win for the Kings no because the Clippers are basically fine where they are they’re not going to fall to the play and they’re obviously not going to move above the four line at the highest not a must one at all for the Clippers

Okay bruise up one nothing why must win Luca headed to Golden State tonight uh Mavs looking for their eighth straight win Warriors still in 10th but now have a two game cushion over the frisky Rockets So Brew must win I’m going to say for Dallas it’s a

Must win here’s why one if Luca really wants to get in the MVP conversation then they got to get 50 wins all right and they got to get close to Denver in the win cuz that’s his biggest competition obviously is joic all right they’re also trying to get home court

Advantage in the first round at the fourth seed so this is a big game for them for the Warriors I mean no no okay they got a two game lead on Houston but they it’s close I was I was tempted to say yes Brew did you not

Know we were doing this before the show yeah yeah no no I know but I’m I’m thinking out suspense going uh all right I mean I kind in the future we might have to like go back and forth on who gets to go first because Brew goes first

Each time and as oddly he nailed that exactly correct so this so because it is odly it 100% must win for Luca’s MVP case and okay I mean you said he nailed it 100% so we can move on I mean he’s right save it but you’ll give me extra

Time here okay let it go no this is his guy we’re doing this one for you you’re going to go first of all three it’s an outrage this is all all Reon are doing this is my it’s written in the bylaws I have to go first on wimy topics yeah the nuggets

Are currently half game by in the Thunder the Spurs are 34 and 1 half back wemi looking to build his case for Defensive Player of the Year Brew must win well San Antonio there’s no must wins at this point but Denver yes an absolute must-win they’re chasing the

Thunder they’re trying to hold off the t-wolves must win okay so I actually nothing on W I think right okay well I’m only going to talk about wimy here cuz I think that’s the only reason this game’s interesting the only reason this game’s interesting is if wimy wants a real shot

At defensive player of the year he’s got to have some big moments against joic so the Spurs have played or wm’s played joic twice in his career twice this year yic in those games is 359 and seven on like 62% while wimy is 19 and 10 which

Is fine but on just 38% what you I think that you could have a real ground swell of you know what wi Bama deserves more accolades this year than just Rookie of the Year something so I think there will I think people are going to struggle with an all NBA placement Brew because

The team’s so bad but would they If he if all of a sudden Joker has some moments where he looks flustered could that be enough to where wimy has an actual shot at stealing Defensive Player of the Year from either Rudy or a so in that regard Brew I think that it’s less

About if the Spurs win and more about if wimy can hold joic down a bit or make him look frustrated I would like to see wimy and I know today with cross matches and picks and all that but I’d like to see wimy say give me yic give me yic do

You do you think you know how you have like a Heisman moment do you think it would be more important if wemi had a few big moments big rejections or like eye popping stuff or just like quietly made it difficult for Joker no real a great question cuz what would be more

Impressive if this if is if he quietly made it tough on you like but but people but I think for you know people just see the highlights they just see the clips on Twitter like punching for them it might right for them it might matter more a couple of blocks even if

Joic has 29 in a triple double but he had wiama has two impressive has like a you know pins him against the backboard once and then once when yic is trying to do his stuff you know at the elbow steals it and you know what I mean fast

Break I think that could be big for window I count Steals and fast breaks as a defensive play oh yeah the steel is no but and the dunk oh yeah the fast break feel part of are you aware of stocks I thanks for watching subscribe here to
