Inside the NBA reacts to Suns vs Timberwolves Game 2 Highlights

from the NBA we welcome you back feeling grumpy Chuck when we go Chris, I ask him ah, the St. Louis Cardinal, they still have a team Chris, he's from St. Louis, honey, hey, uh, highlight others, the Cardinal is still in the league, our producer Keith Robinson, big Cardinal fan for Okay, Rudy, the toy in this

game

, that's a burden, that's not a burden, stop failing, stop failing, narit, whatever your name is, you're the same guy last night who wanted to call a foul against the Knicks, that's right, because you grab people's jerseys, Devin Booker. by the way, three point

game

Anthony Edwards man, that's strength right there, man, there's no foul either, that's not a foul either, that's a foul, his third in the first, yeah, he sits the entire second quarter, well, That's because it's out there. hack people, okay, Gordon's contribution tonight was 15, okay, e k d, and a Phoenix up five.

I tell you my kids are in trouble, oh oh, bully ball, okay, and then on the other end, Booker and Jaden McDaniels get mixed up, just play McDaniels, get the need for T. Deon Booker, he's a Big boy, come up, look, I'm just running over people, there you go, I'll stop it. McDaniels, known for his defense, obviously, but a great offensive night for him, he had 25 on the night and here get off. Yo, little man, oh man, that's impressive, 51 to 5, Suns at halftime and then Minnesota outscored it 28 to 20 in the third Grayson Allen, who's been having some trouble with that right ankle, oh, that's a couple of weeks AR, he and would leave Dr. odal, that's a couple man, he's had a great year Carl Anthony for three leave him Bradley Beal Away for Ant-Man talk to him Antman talk to him Ant-Man this part of a 12-nothing streak that gave Minnesota a nine-point lead as Edwards continues to shake off Grant and bury him, he was just three of 12 from the field that night, but that was a big Minnesota up by seven in the fourth quarter.

Look at Mike Conor man that guy has been the most underrated player in the NBA for 20 years yeah he had 18 points in the game Edwards gets a three and then they give it to McDaniels and that's playoff night the night High 25 and the playoff game of his career for Jaden McDaniels and they win it 105 to 93 goar goes for 18 Connelly goes for 18 Edwards on his three of 12 shots 15 five and eight um Phoenix 20 turnovers on the night points of turnovers in this game 31-2 in favor of Minnesota it's hard to win a game when that number appears meanwhile after the game Jaden McDaniels with Stephanie ready, okay, here we are It's you two and 0 in this series, it wasn't nice in the first half, how did you guys fight?

Just sticking with the game plan, I mean being physical defensively and then offensively, everyone sharing the ball, making the right reads. I mean, in the first half we weren't making the shots that we were creating, so the second half he was able to knock it down. In my opinion, his activity has been on another level so far in these two games, playing very hard and finishing strong around the field. basket and have confidence and shoot and you know, and the work he's doing on the other end of the court thought he had a special performance tonight, really special, the NBA Playoffs will test your emotional stability and we have to make sure make it our first It's time to go through this together as a group again when we face adversity.

Okay, we have to respond to it and we didn't handle it well enough tonight. You know we will learn from it and be better in the future. It has to be sweet for Jaden McDaniels, who missed the first round series against Denver last year, he remembers at the end of the regular season he hit the wall, broke his hand and now he is fourth here, he is a great defensive player in great game tonight for Minnesota and this is why I always have high praise for everyone else Edwards 15 points cat 12 points not a great game but Rudy 18 Conley 18 and the drop you just mentioned Jadon 25 you know every once in a while when you're going to need games like that they were playing At home, playing with a lot of emotion now was and Cat had to have a big game and the third game, if you want, keep the series momentum going, but the Suns are going to respond, they have three weapons nuclear as Chuck always says and it should be an excellent third game.

There's one thing about McDaniel's shot: he's about to be not another like him, he's got the skills, no, he looks good to not be another as you'd call it, yeah, my son. in trouble, you know, they never addressed the point guard situation, which they definitely needed at point and they needed another big body, that's one of the things we talked about at the trade deadline, they need to have those three guys finishing instead of Start. their offense and they could play at a much faster pace because Minnesota is such a big team it's hard to score on them in the half court, you have two seven-foot tall players so it's really hard so the only way to Doing so is speeding up the game. the pace went up and they didn't address the point guard situation, they didn't even need a big point guard, they just needed a serviceable point guard and I thought they needed a bigger body.

They went out and got Ry O'Neal, who is more of a shooter, but when you play some of the biggest teams in this league you need more of a big guy and that's all they got. The first time Minnesota had a lead of two nothing and a best of seven since 2004, as they led this one two. Nothing about the Phoenix Suns, who have lost 12 straight games, the second game is on the road again, going back to when you guys faced off in the '90s. Wow, yeah, that's a long time. When we come back, the second game in Milwaukee, those

highlights

in between.

The Pacers and Bucks approach Chuck after upsetting Ernie and the Cardinal fans' PR. No, all that is being exaggerated, talk to me like a man. What's the matter? Excellent things. We have those on my street. It's my fault. The Cardinal sucks. How come my fault
