The Tuesday crew reacts to T-Wolves 22-PT comeback win + Western Conference standings | NBA on TNT

uh but let's look at these highlights and how we got here with sha making clipper inside jokes oh that man a cat there's something about anthony edwards that's special and we're going to have to wait and see the news on kawh leonard with luck really Hope you're doing well Clippers off to a good start Harden triple then Paul George to Kawai the floater and then Leonard to George Paul George Baseline hits Clippers 15 at the start of the first first second quarter Norman friend extending the lead at this point Kawai had already gone to the changing locker room at Street Clos but the Clippers still had the lead, this was the moment when Shaq looked at us and said that Minnesota would come back to win this game and Anthony Edwards went crazy because already You know how I recognize an alien. my planet from by Oh by by means bust your ass oh that's cool, he's in LA, he wants all the smoke, he wants to be cool, he knows his team was on demand, listen we could be down 1520, but here I come and then Kawai he leaves and like he said in the interview, if you don't offend them in the best way and just put all these, you know, other kitties on them, I'm going to go to work and everyone else, Kaw left the arena due to back spasms , No. come back everyone else play Inspire listen when your leader plays hard and you start doing things the others will follow Alexander Walker unconscious in this oh bring them to their knees Rudy five three so look at that look at that in this good luck fading too much game That It's too much play, too much hoops play.

I recognize him from the planet because he is one of our young Martians. Minnesota now with a Sixpoints lead. Mike Connley was feeling it too. He had five triples, 10 threes. Alexander says, when that happens to you, I like it. flashes yes right there when you're flying through the air, especially when you're kicking your legs like a fish out of water, he didn't come back, so another injury, as you can see, grabbing his chest, we're going to have to monitor the future. get some Icy Hot rib juice oh rib juice now available from Icy Hot Anthony Edwards two triples in this 37 points the Minnesota Tiber Wolves outscored the Clippers by 26 in the second half they only outscored them by 16 on the fast break 22 in the paint goar had seven offensive rebounds, the entire Clippers squad had eight offensive rebounds, but the Timber

wolves

, in a very tight race through the Western Conference, earned a very key victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Let's look at another game that could impact those Western stars and the young stars. MVP Pacers Thunder future of the NBA at the guard position in full effect in this starting block Miles Turner Juma the PES look at this LOB about to go to the top oh, he went up The Pacers are so in tune with each other they play well, do the right plays that everyone loves to play together they are going to be a dangerous team. I would hate to play this young team in the playoffs in the first round because you know Indy is going to show up too.

Indy was up 12 at halftime in Oklahoma City. SGA would finish with 310 and five, which Oh, apparently that's what he does every game. Deep Chad's Chad had three 3-pointers all night, something with that, but as Candace pointed out at halftime, this is an Oklahoma City team that doesn't lose at home very often. Oh, give me that and Indy walked in. and I tried to pace myself here. Hren gets the block on one end. I was going to say get that ched out of here and then Jet with the 15 slam and I like that yeah you can get me to look at this n Smith drive oh yeah. no, it's not a d, it's aggressive oh, he wanted to get that power layup back D okay, looking like Horus Grant out there 24 for Turner look at the man down man down Indie wins this 121 111 getting a big W for them it seems a real opportunity Nice, but is it well shot again?

SJ. There's another guy who played in Indie that didn't have a normal following. Good point. Good point. IND gets the win with just nine three-pointers, a very low total for them, but 34 assists for the Indiana Pacers. of course, led by Tyrese Halberton's 12, eh, let's look at the Western Conference

standings

and everything that changed the Thunder with the defeat now leads them to a tie in First with the Nuggets, it also means that the Timber

wolves

with their victory are just half a game away. Getting back to the top of the

standings

right now is tough, the third place team right now would be facing the Phoenix Suns and you saw all the action down there, turn that up again, let's move up the standings.

Sha is still processing the big take on him. Shaq, what? You see? I don't know Candace and Jamal. If you have a thought like this. If it's the Nuggets, do they want to stay too because if the playoffs start today they will play the winner of the Mavericks kings or try to? to Golden One and face some dangerous Lakers Warriors, some other things could happen too, yes, I would be a loser if you are a seed and this is what the brackets would be today if it happened, Minnesota, Phoenix Clippers, Pelicans and then of course , OK C. and Denver faces whoever comes out of that mix, if you're the Nuggets after you've proven you can win, you'll play anywhere.

I know Mike Malone, I play for him, he is the Knicks assistant coach and he will have them. He goes back to playing anywhere, remember we talked about the Lakers before he wants all the smoke with someone, yes, but we definitely all want to smoke with the Lakers, we all know it's about matchups. I wouldn't want to play against Golden State and then everything. All of a sudden, clay wakes up because right now there's no one, you know, Scouting for clay, but I don't want him to have two or three good games and then, you know, put pressure on him, so I'd rather play in Sacramento or Dallas if it were Denver.

I think it's also avoiding Phoenix, since the third seed for me is one of the Timberwolves Thunder's three. Can you imagine a Thunder Phoenix first round matchup with a t-wolves Phoenix M first round matchup or a Denver Phoenix first round matchup for "I think the team to avoid in those playoffs is where you're competing for the position and it's probably going to be one of those three, like you said, that Phoenix is ​​going to be the most dangerous one that nobody talks about." I'm telling you Shaq, they're going to be dangerous down the stretch. I want to give the young man more support because of what we saw from Anthony Edwards before we continue talking about the playoffs because we talked about what will happen to this team without Carl Anthony. cities and what that's going to fall on Anthony Edward's shoulders and we were behind after every play, wow.

I just want to give him more credit on national television for being down 22 and winning by 22. Shaq said it earlier like he saw a young Kobe. he's seen a young idiot Ant-Man is cut off from that watch there's no doubt about it he wants to be great he wants to be one of the greatest look who he's protecting look who he's protecting he doesn't hide like a lot of people do and say You know, I'm going to guard here away from Paul George as NE in The Matrix, that was really amazing and Jamal, I don't know what you're saying, SGA impresses me, but the first two years.

I hadn't really heard of him. Ant-Man has been like this since high school, so I don't have to teach him to be a dog. He is already a dog. He is the popular one. When you look at all of them, Bulls, he's that pitbull that's already biting and going crazy, I want him, that's the one I want, so you know, uh no, uh, disrespect to sgaa, but he definitely you know when, when he was with the Clippers, he wasn't doing what he was doing. now he has become Antman he has been doing this since high school and college so he is a real dog like there are some fake dogs when things are going good you know they are not running in front but they are running in front. he's a real dog, he'll get you, you know, I'll say this Ant-Man if he's at that level that he rises to the occasion.

He rises to the occasion and I think his post-game interview to me is confidence you can't teach. like that unwavering belief in yourself and that's what you need in the playoffs, like he doesn't doubt it, if he's 15 of 29 he's going to make the same shot and play the same way and I think a young team or a young star like him and I know you don't like to say it, we'll just say cat, but he reminds me a lot of the greats that play on both ends of the court, so it's not just him leading offensively, but him leading the Timberwolves defensively.

They are the number one team in the league defensively, the fourth favorite team right now in the west is the Clippers, they lose this game, coach Ty Lou sitting at the podium, now let's hear what Ty has to say, uh, what you do? You know about Kawai's problem and was he dealing with this before tonight? Yeah, he's been dealing with that for a couple of days. He had back spasms and he wasn't sure if he was going to come this morning, but he came to shoot. he got some treatment he did what he had to do and he tried to get on the court and play today and um it just didn't happen, it didn't relax for him do you think he can make the next trip?

I'm not sure, I hope so, you have a I don't want to attribute it, he's fine, so he left the game on Sunday. Kawai did it with a groin injury. Let's wait and see as the Clippers go on a road trip. The next five are on the road, going to Chicago, New Orleans, home against Atlanta and then two games in a row in Portland, but this is definitely a scary spot in the Allstar for the Clippers. The reason I think everyone believes in the Clippers is because he has been healthy starting in 57 of 63 games, if he doesn't go it looks like the Western Conference as a whole could change, it is something we will monitor and again hope he is okay , you know, a lot of teams have that if they're healthy to play well Nicks are one of those teams Philadelphia is one of those teams and the same goes for the Clippers, you know if those guys are healthy they're definitely dangerous.

Kandy showed it in the first half when everyone was in. moving the ball very fluidly looks great, but one of those guys goes down and then one of the other two doesn't step up and you don't have Russell Westbrook, they become a regular team, that's why when I was watching ant and I say, you know, this kid is a dog, he wants it, they are in Los Angeles, there are three places where you can always have a great game in Miami and New York, and when he walks through the sand in that neighborhood, I already knew it, Hey, I'm in Los Angeles.

I've been here a few days. The knees feel good. I know how to go to work, so when they got down to 20, a guy that never stops, so I said, you know what, but Kawai goes. The Clippers will have some, you know, some U Fage and then he'll just do what he does. I think T is just concerned about getting the Clippers healthy into the playoffs, yes, which he's talked about, but a bigger piece, I mean, Russell Westbrook is done. A lot of games for the Clippers and he orchestrated a lot of Norman Powell shots, so now you see Bones Highland taking on that role and he doesn't play the role of facilitating the push of the ball, he changes the rhythm that Russ does, so I think not just Kawhai. being out but also that Russ wasn't in to usher in that second unit in that third quarter and they scored 15 points in that third quarter, which I think has a big impact on them and the depth, that's what it's for, Obviously, no one can. replace Kawai, but that means that according to Shaq, this is where PG has to go to 30, now Harden has to go to 25 and by the way, Norman P had 11 in the half, he finished with 11, he has to go up to 20, took three or four more shots, but does he get his own shot?

Type of person who goes looking for it. I didn't say he can't. I'm saying where he's had success it's usually been catch-and-shoot, but he's my thing. he took six shots in the half and finished with nine shots. That's where you have to have the aggressiveness to move forward because your team needs it right now. You're missing your best weapon, but in the long run, if Kawhai isn't healthy, he's not the best. Clippers, it doesn't really matter at that point and I just want to say one thing about the Western Conference seats. I know we can focus on the first round match.

UPS' home court advantage in the second round will be very important. those three best teams in the west Oklahoma City 26-7 at home 19 and 13 on the road Denver 27-6 at home 18 and 14 on the road are different environments 53 games over 500 at home only 19 on the road for those who cheat Due at that altitude here using those Ant-Man Storm Troopers, let's look at Cace Kcks SE heat over the stab, she needs some lotion on them while she, what do you say who is your favorite tennis player Arthur Ash? I'm not ashy, thank you. Thank you very much Ash Frozen, get out of here.

I'm not Ashy. Hey Cenace, can you Ash give me some money? Oh my God.
