Inside Guys React to Thrilling Clippers-Suns Game 1 | NBA on TNT

okay let's go to Phoenix now see that man Russell Westbrook okay Jim with the fan okay get some mommy get him Kevin Durant that's eight no

suns

are when he plays and he's Kawaii there goes that damn robot that first time since 2019 the KD and uh Kawhi shared the playoffs three years Clippers after a first quarter scoreless Durant had 17 in the second quarter Russell Westbrook didn't hit many shots just 3 of 19 connected from three of them right here oh my goodness zoobots 12 points 14 rebounds in the half it was 59-54 Clips check this out coming in for Kauai man he's so strong he was 38. check out the play Here by Chris Paul oh nutmeg Queen the legs from the zoobots yeah i thought when the sun went down like an eight point lead i thought they might win this was crazy honey 81 one piece going into the fourth quarter this was a man russell looks at devin booker with the block he had three of those will end when Landry Shamitz hands off Landry Booker also had four steals on the night.

I'll tell you what, but look at the Clippers trying like hell to get the

game

out of all these bad turnovers. Corey Craig with the ending. This is an incredible turnover on a really stupid foul. give me that oh you want another one give me good but Right Between the Eyes ain't even thinking about hitting Rim he looked like Kauai yeah he did he did it defensively and offensively that's a great shot right there. 109 106 and 111 to 1 -0 defense right here, oh yeah, not just the block and then the save and out of Booker and out of bounds.

You could contribute to the

game

and contribute to the game without scoring points. I think contributing would probably be here I came back you didn't save it it's called it's called correct english ten thousand two favorite charity if you could spell contributions think think about it while we listen to chris haynes uh this post name interview keep thinking about it what do you think of defending Russell Westbrook and the key offense bounces down the stretch and plays right there, you know, um, it's coming, you know, little things like that to win these playoff games, rebounds, free throws, turnovers and I was able to get a win tonight just talking to Russ you know I think SEC you know late second I think maybe before I can't remember but I was mad about missing shots and I said listen your shot isn't important you know take good ones shots, take the right shots, but what you bring to our team is a lot. most valuable I think I'm one of those

guys

who can do everything every night I'm just thankful you know T-loon instead believes in me regardless if my chance isn't falling when it comes to work I've got your size hit the glass like dad is apart it's time um it's the will to win in this position um you know humbly speaking no one is a better rebounder than me so you can go for three of 19. okay but nine points ten rebounds eight assists three blocks two steals five offensive rebounds, but I like the shot he gave the Lakers Ernie, that's the same thing I was saying to Tyler because Tyler was my rookie and of course they played together. stay in front of the people bring me the ball bring me the ball to kobe so you know the fact you know kenny always talks about different ways to contribute and he didn't have a great game offensively but he played hard like he usually does and had some key plays in down the stretch and in games like this all it takes is a play or two you know he had a pair you know behind the back he steals and you know that big block he had but listen his shot will pick up and they'll turn more dangerous, but the fact that the others play well and the cyborg plays without lights took away that court advantage well and me, you know I like the shot he made to the Lakers because you know how much I love Russ because man I just think that I can ask how someone in life gives me a lot of effort and I love that guy, but I love the opportunity he gave the Lakers, he says you know it's great to be in a place where they don't care. my chance all the time because he does other things you know you know they started calling west brick in the video with the lakers they blame him for everything instead of saying the lakers had a shitty team before they did all these trades , but for some reason, they blamed it on, uh, starting last year, not just this year, but last year they had all those old

guys

on the bench and then this year they had all those young guys on the bench before they did the big trades now the lakers got a good team but i thought that was really unfair i mean first of all they blame russ and frank vogel for everything.

Glad to see him have some success. This is going to be a great series. The most impressive part of Clipper's effort for the UK was the effort, and, and, and Kauai said it better than anyone, he said it and it was so subtle that something, because he spoke so subtle, sometimes you don't hear it or No. I don't think it's important, it's an important point, he said that winning the spot makes a difference when, as a basketball analyst who played the game at the highest level, you say it's a winning basketball play. I'll give you a quick story, it's not even an NBA. story he was sitting with Hubert Davis, once the head coach of North Carolina, at a summer league game.

We saw a child playing. I think his name is Elliot Godot. He was watching him play. he's the best player on the court, he didn't score a point because he was making one instead, this guy makes winning plays today and like Chuck said, the Lakers at the time were honestly putting them up with g league players and saying, okay run the second unit with g league players and see if you can win that was a disservice to russell westbrook and now you can see it happen i want to ask you if you're bored you've had enough of this no i want to say something to answer your question, what impressed me about the Clippers, people, forget they went down eight points, remember the songs made for running and they went up eight so they don't panic, that to me was amazing. 34 to 10 bench Advantage for the Clippers over the Suns they won the boards 47-42 14-0 good buckwheat good make the bag
