Inside the NBA | Shaq reacts to Luka Doncic EXPLODES 41 PTS as Mavericks beat Suns 123-113

And the Mavs who came out in the third quarter with a 16 nothing hot streak overtake the Suns and win at 123 to 113 Ernie Johnson Vince Carter in for the chuckster Kenny The Jet is here Shaquille O’Neal is here this was impressive from the from the Dallas

Mavericks you know seven in a row but this is the this is the exact conversation you asked me at the beginning when those two guys together are not your normal onew punch because you can get 40 from one and 30 from another or possibly 4040 so meaning you

Get 80 points out of two guys typically when two guys are hot you get 50 points out of them 55 guy from them tonight you get 70 points you’re going to get 55 a guy gets 25 and a guy gets 30 that’s that’s a hard night these guys are

Incredibly gifted scorers to another level so that’s what makes Dallas a little bit more dangerous than anyone else I said before the game yes that Phoenix should be trying to get to four at home court and I said that Dallas should be paying attention to Phoenix because as you can see Luca

Loves playing against Kevin and Kyrie I don’t know what it is but ever since last yeah Kevin same thing no cuz ky’s on his team they both had a K in it same thing but ever since ever ever since what he did to him in the playoffs he’s

Very confident with playing this team and as you see tonight 41 he could average 41 on them so that’s right thank you yes yeah on them he could definitely have 41 so areas of concern for Phoenix um this was their 11th loss when they let it the half only the Washington

Wizards have lost more games when leading at the half than the Phoenix Suns and their fourth quarter scoring is the worst in the league and they come up with only 22 tonight it was a five-point game going to the four they come up with 22 in the four I think this is where

Bradley Bill has missed and they have to figure out ways to to close games you know that they build a lead and I think they get comfortable and then obviously defense you make your adjustments at halftime you’re trying to slow down Booker you’re trying to SL slow down Durant and that’s

Where with Bradley Bill can shine I mean like I say he’s averaging 18 and they got 16 from Gordon and and 10 points and 21 points 24 points Off the Bench so they’re going to their bench scoring is definitely uh of concern as well and get

Used to this as we head down the stretch because of what’s New Orleans is doing they’re winning big tonight and because Phoenix loses to Dallas Phoenix goes from number five a playoff spot to number seven a playin spot in 48 minutes play uh meantime uh and you see the standings here um

As the Suns well the Pelicans game is not over yet but see the Mavs win the tiebreaker over the Suns now enjoy that one out there tonight Lakers somebody’s in my ear and the Warriors oh oh yeah excuse me um bad acting all right what

Do you make what do you make of uh of the Lakers right now cuz they won eight out of their last 11 um no LeBron tonight but here’s the deal they’ve had five times this year winning streaks of three games that’s they haven’t been able to get over that they have another

Chance to do it tonight where is uh do you see anything explosive coming out of the Lakers as we head down the stretch well one they have no games to spare and I I see two different teams I I see teams that when we watch them we go o

Like the playing tournament we were all there very impressive they played and then you know kind of laic days ago and then it seems to me that sometimes they’re comfortable where they are but you know the these next 30 games like I said is no games to spare I’m anxious to

See what Lakers we going to get you know they’re they’re a bunch of old veterans Kenny and vinc know we always think we can turn it on when when that time come so so LeBron and AD they wouldn’t mind playing in in the playing game same with

Steph and Draymond those good guys but if I was them I would turn my playoff button on right now and try to move up and get to that six spot but you know it’s a tale of two different teams I don’t I don’t know I don’t know who

We’re going to see tonight know sometimes they’re impressive sometimes they’re not LeBron’s not going to be there so it’s going to be extra ball movement other guys are going to get a chance to play who’s going to be that LeBron type well nobody’s going to be

LeBron but who’s going to be you know the other scorer tonight I’m looking for Austin Reed to become a little bit more consistent cuz he’s way too up and down of another for me if they want to go to that next level they got a chance to do

Something that’s pretty rare in league history and that’s have four guys in the same month average 20 points a game right now LeBron’s doing it ad is doing it Russ DLo is doing it and so is Austin Reeves it’s happened once in the last 36 seasons and that was in December by the

Boston Celtics so the Lakers trying to get that done here in the month of February I’m more interested in Golden State cuz they’re on the rise as well you know and you know they change their lineup bringing clay Off the Bench which actually gives him more shots um and

He’s not starting the game but he finishes it uh we know what this guy I mean this guy here is you know the best of the best in terms of getting his team ready and so I think they’re trying to move up and and the biggest thing is

Kamena his his ability now V is to say I’m a primary scorer like it takes time to like infiltrate over Dron even though he’s not a scorer but Draymond clay and Stephen say I’m gonna take more Shots tonight than you that that is a big process to overcome especially since

They have got won so many championships before you even got there so that’s kudos to him for his now taking that role and taking it seriously I’m going to touch on the Lakers real quick I think you’re going to get the best of LeBron as you see when it’s when it’s

Money time when it’s tournament time they’re going to have to find ways to get those wins I agree they have to make their push right now but to what expense like if you do it now will you have enough will you have the LeBron that you want come playoff time I’m sure

He’ll get his body ready but in reality like you just said sometimes we feel we can do it until reality hits us and we can’t get it done like we want to so they’re going to have to figure out Lakers that is figure out how they’re

Going to go about that they did it last does that add to to maybe a sense of urgency to get in the top six so you have that week off at the end Sol SP they can not be in that P because I think his rest is most important like if

You remember the playing tournament Reeves went crazy kaminga all those guys play well but now we talking about a whole playoff series though is what I’m that’s what I’m saying and then on the other side I’ve been in Klay Thompson’s position before when I got to Phoenix

Starting moved into a reserve role what was your mental when they put when the Great Vince Carter now coming off the bench it was it was tough to deal with huh matter took your spot doesn’t matter no no just the name no we want a name I don’t remember Underdog yeah see

Yeah look it up good luck tell no I don’t know um it was somebody SP man I don’t know it was a younger guy they were going his name serious man maybe later U but the thing was it was just accepting that and one thing that play said that I

Really liked he said I got past that I said and he he said well like I did he figured out how to still be the version of himself and he came out and had a big night and I think that’s important for him to do is continue to put that aside

And said like okay not a starter 100% and that’s what I’m saying you’re not a starter what’s most important to us if you were starting and didn’t finish I’ve never I’m not even I’ve never been the player that you or or or or clay have

Been but nine my first nine and a half years in in the NBA I started and the first time that somebody said come off the bench and and that audience is like and the lights go out and somebody else is running out that I’m only I went 10

Years in the NBA like only 30 games start came up 30 B 30 games and I Wast l an enemy has been defeated an enemy has been defeated an enemy has been defeated double kill an enemy has been defeated your team has destroyed a tower an ally has been defeated
