WATCH YO MOUTH! ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿคฃ Perk gloats his Wolves’ G7 prediction + Mavs-Wolves preview | First Take

this series is going seven games Minnesota is going to win win game six and then it’s going to be a game seven and Minnesota is going to pull it off okay big perk nailing it right on the head go ahead with your bad self take your Victory lap with the Nuggets being eliminated this will be the six straight season oh go ahead go ahead yeah oh I am M I’m sorry to cut you off but a certain individual on the side of you he was over there talking about how embarrassed he was and apologizing to the American public the other day and I’m sitting up here saying why the timber wolves are going to win this series and Shannon you don’t get to laugh because the last time I checked you picked the Nuggets to win this series and I’ve been coming on here time and time again yeah but I’ve been coming on here time and time again preaching to you guys about this Minnesota Temple W defense it is just it is just different hey you better watch your mouth you better watch your mouth first of all I pick Minnesota to win this series first of all I pick listen and I I can say that cuz I know Miss I know I know Mrs big perk is watching you understand I’m saying and she I got to monitor my to she just be Mrs perk and not Mrs big perk that is a big boy right there that is a big boy right there but the point is Mrs perk Mrs perk the point is is that I picked Minnesota to win this series what I apologized about is that I thought they were GNA sweep Denver so my apology was warranted so you watch your mouth okay okay all right now go ahead he see what I’m talking about perk see you don’t understand how to handle Prosperity you got but you got to take a shot at me oh God he’s saying this the pit right now you don’t know how to handle Prosperity sh own people take him to church my Lord go ahead man but you see what I’m see what I’m saying listen I was watching the show earlier and y’all let y’all let Shannon get away with that Victory lap talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder when the team that the team that they lost to he didn’t have faith in the Dallas Mavericks we was on here arguing about Kyrie and Luca before the play before the playoffs started so when it come listen when it comes to the Western Conference Al okay I’m like Shannon is the weather man you know what I’m saying him and the weatherman are in the same field they’re the only two people that I know could get it 80% wrong majority of the time is still come on here and talk about the Western Conference good Lord good Lord hey I got it right what it matter I got the I got the I got the pap right and I got the M right what it matter sh what it matter that’s what it is that’s what it is that’s your story what I got it right when it matter it matter it matter y’all are unbelievable man listen you all are rubbing off on me listen I gotta tell you though I gotta tell you though I how Minnesota won this game what I’m paying attention to yeah their defense turned into a bunch of piranhas and that 28 to9 run the end the third quarter overall a 54 to 24 run in the second half I I I you you just when you saw them clamp down on Denver you said wow and I got to tell you something right now Anthony Edwards can’t say enough about him his leadership wasn’t having it on only shot 25% from the field but was talking about how he was going to set picks how he was gonna set screens he was gon to do whatever it took to win Rudy go showed up Carl Anthony Town showed up Nas Reed would one offensive rebound or put back after another and Mike connley Jr winning his first game seven after going 0 and four in those game seven the Steady Hand that he was key steals key three-point shots what have you can’t say enough about what I saw from Minnesota but I I find myself salivating over the next round because you see what that defense against Minnesota Luca and Kyrie are next and love me some Jamal Murray you know respect the hell out of Porter Aaron Gordon all of these brothers but when you talk about offense and you got a guy like Ant-Man saying oh I got Kyrie next round oh damn now we talking about a show ladies and gentlemen we’re talking about Ant-Man and Luca and Kyrie and I know there’s more to it than that and we know that Dallas like legs pointed out is underestimated and not appreciated enough for their defensive prowers and how they’ve amped things up since Gaff has arrived along with PJ Washington but I got to tell you something damn it this is a sports is about theater and theater is about stars and when I think about yes and I think about Kyrie Luca and Antman Lord have mercy I can’t wait I can’t wait the Mavericks don’t really like to play Lively the second and Gaff together normally they’re interchangeable they go with PJ and and the back court do you think they might really be switched that up if I’m not mistaken I think Java McGee on that side is also with the Mavericks and could he could it be a situation where we see no he’s not there could we see both of those big guys from the M from the Mavericks because they got so much size with the uh with the Timberwolves and the rebounding that’s the key because they get second chance after second chance and sooner or later those Second Chance points start to add up they make a living in the paint and I love Carl Anthony towns yesterday anytime he got a switch he punish the guy down low look I get what you saying but it’s going to be hard because either one of those guys when you talk about Gafford and L could stretch the floor right in order to play two bigs one of those guys got to be able to stretch the floor that’s why it works perfect when it comes down to the Minnesota timberwoods because Carl Anthony towns uh his cap his uh his thing on shooting a three-point shot correct when I look at Minnesota when I look at Minnesota this is what I want to talk about when we talk about last night game and and Shannon this is what I want you to tell the American people on how hard it is for guys to play in Denver when it comes down to the altitude Oh yeah and when I yeah and when I why I bring that up because what we saw yesterday we saw last night this team go down 20 points and throughout the course of the game when we thought when I thought they was about to wear down they got stronger they got stronger and yic and Murray was the guys that wore down and I said you know what this team is really like that they’re built like that on a night when Anthony was shot 6 for 24 they won the basketball game because they because they stay true to who they are and that’s defensive wolves when they come down to embracing the huh but per perk what is Dallas built like no no but look this is my thing just look at let’s look at the journey right I’m not knocking Dallas for getting to the Western Conference Finals okay but first round they match up against the Los Angeles Clippers without Ka wild lard right and you you’re going yeah you’re going against James Harden and PG we know how they disappear in the postseason and damn it they did that okay in the second round you’re going against a young Oklahoma City Thunder and all season long Shannon I heard you say this Stephen A I heard you said damn I even heard Molly say this the Oklahoma City needed to add dep to their big to their big position Chad is not enough and what Dallas did they exposed that they can’t expose that with the Minnesota Timberwolves because now you have Rudy back there that’s going to be able to be Roman free because he don’t have the responsibility of worrying about a yic this is why I got the Minnesota timberwoods going to the NBA finals and winning the NBA championship and the last thing I’mma say Anthony Edwards is on the verge of having one of the greatest individual runs in NBA history okay if you look at him going through Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns okay then knocking off the defending champs and the MVP and the best player in the world in joic and now he’s facing Luca and Kyrie and then if he get to the NBA finals which I believe he will and then match up against the Boston Celtics because I had them coming out of the East and you m match up with Jason Tatum and that Celtic team that won 60 plus games and you knocked them off name me a better individual performance for you have to go back to Magic you have to go back to somebody like magic when magic did what he did did he won the finals MVP Stephen A I know you remember this at the age of 20 Ant-Man would probably end up being Finals MVP at the age of 22 so I occur but I misspoke it’s pow it’s po that’s the big not javel McGee so they do have three bigs and he hadn’t really been playing a lot but it’s going to be very interesting to see how Dallas match up with the bigs the twin tow from the Minnesota Timberwolf because like you said cat can stretch the floor but what he’s starting to do now is punish those M mismatches and not s for that three-point shot I’m anxious to see this match up I really am cuz I want to see Ant-Man and I want to see Luca and Kyrie because that’s the storyline two young players Luca 25 Ant-Man 22 okay somebody got to take the throne shanon who are you who are to who are you guys all taking in the series damn I haven’t decied timber wolves I know you I got Minnesota can I wait can I wait can I wait till the can I wait till tomorrow it’s really hard let you I’ll let you wait till tomorrow I will I’ll give you that I will tell you I got I got the timber wolves as well I just haven’t decided whether it’s going six or seven but I got the timber wolves because when you think about it it’s hard to pick against Minnesota because they did go on the road and knock off the defending champs with the best player in the league but man the way Luca and Kyrie can put the ball in and not PJ because PJ Washington is The X Factor because there was a stretch there PJ was playing the best of anybody on the Mavericks and those big sh those big threes and those big two point uh the the files that he created on Shay was huge for him and that’s what they need a third scoring option so I I I I’ll get back to you tomorrow [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

Kendrick Perkins joins Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe on First Take to take a victory lap after correctly calling for the Minnesota Timberwolves to defeat the Denver Nuggets in 7 games before switching gears to their upcoming WCF matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.

  1. Honestly, this is good to be good, I think most people are severely underestimating the Mavs, Mavs bigs are not slow and cumbersome what makes them dangerous is their agility, who I am worried about in this series is Jaden Mac, he is going to give Luka hell.

  2. Keep counting out those Mavs but they have better offense and just as good defense. Itโ€™s just a matter of who shows up for the role players and the Mavs have shown that their role players show up when necessary. Mavs in 6. Gonna be a great series though

  3. Steph Curry in 2022 ran through them young gunners in Memphis, destroyed Jokic, destroyed Luka and Brunson and then destroyed Celtics in 6. That run was arguably better than Wolves projected run.

  4. 6:35 perk thought Shannon was finna elaborate ๐Ÿ˜‚ told his a$$ โ€œoh yeaโ€ฆโ€ had perk a$$ looking like he was off a perc ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  5. Made about ๐Ÿ’ฏ predictions this season… this is the first he got right ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  6. Stephen Clown on this serires:

    denver won games 3,4,5, – its over the denver nuggets gonna be the nba champions
    wolves won game 6 – did u see joker standing from bench? nuggets in 7 and nba champion
    wolves won game 7 – i got it right from the beginning i pick wolves to win series

  7. Minnesota is Denverโ€™s DADDY! ๐Ÿงน SWEEP ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน

  8. They need to bring malika andrews to randomly bring up dark stories from players pasts. She hates seeing men happy.

  9. Magic did it first at a younger age, ant had tougher competition ..LBJ is better than Jordan he faced tougher competition ๐Ÿ˜‚

  10. So that pissed poor excuse for LeBron and the Lakers not winning because of Denver elevation was ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’ฉ
