Inside the NBA reacts to Cam Johnson's Poster Dunk on Joel Embiid

already has the playoffs of his career in the first half 22 of Brooklyn's 49 points, including Nat, stops on Joel

embiid

Joel is going to get baptized, that was impressive. American Express Halftime Reports Studio J here in Atlanta Ernie Johnson chuckster Kenny The Jet Shaquille O'Neal come on look what he was hitting just now what's up American Express teammates on the freeway uh a story a little different than the first game of this series in which Brooklyn never led and was beaten by 20, the three-pointers made the points with turnovers, it was minus 20. plus eight, so there are many favorable numbers for Brooklyn, including the score at halftime 49-44 on Shaq.

Jacques Vaughn stands his ground every time Joel Embiid touches what he's seeing. I've been in this situation before Brooklyn made a conscious effort. Well, Joe, you're not going to beat us, everyone else is going to have to beat us and again here, ball at the top of the key, we're going to do a double pass, wide open, PJ Tucker, which usually goes off , but guess what, PJ. You're going to have to take him down to beat us right now Panic time is on the pulse right here take him out, okay, take him down, you can take him down, okay, you're no good, we'll live with it.

Brooklyn said I'll live with it, but Joe, you're not going to do it, we'll hold you to eight points. Mr. MVP came today, you are not going to beat us, everyone else will have to beat us and right now they will. We're not really doing very well here the double comes fast he makes a pass this this one here misses but again Brooklyn conscious effort Joe you're not going to beat us everyone will have to be like I used to remember when I'm receiving in I'm giving it to my boys and Rick and Big Chef Bob and B shows that they would have up and down series, but they would really count game six and game seven, they would always be there, but I would always read articles. when they said we're not going to let Shaq get his goal, everyone else is going to have to beat us, so if they want to beat this Brooklyn team that's playing with a lot of confidence right now, they're going to have to make those open shots, top scorer of the league. at 33-9, he has 34 points in a game and a half, eight in the first half of this one, one of five shots, well this is what Shaq and I talked about what the ending is, this is a James game Harden, he can't stop two of them, he has them, that's why I say he has to be more aggressive, he has something like that, okay, they will go through MVP, let me go and do my thing, that's why they brought me here to be the second best player on the team.

I have a score, he's just playing, but I'm really disappointed and the guys talked about the announcers. The Sixers are just joking, they're not playing with any sense of urgency. Ernie when you admit that Shaq and Kenny know it when You're better than a team, you can't give them any hope, you know, because we saw last night that Giannis got hurt, the hero got hurt, screw you, we know that in jail and in the beating some things always happen. Same with James Harden, this could work. and you lose this game you go to Brooklyn 1-1 anything can happen but it's just a lack of effort and intensity that's why I don't trust the Sixers I support the Sixers and the Suns but let me tell you something about these the announcer I said it best No I know what the hell is going on with the Sixers Billy made 21 threes in the first game, they have four in the first half, you know who's not fucking around who's that camera Johnson cam Johnson's not fucking around I think the other thing Jack had a problem about great point: are they going to duplicate?

Oh, come on, Chuck, I wore sneakers today. Yeah, I knew you were coming today, but the difference when we talk about Michael Bridges at the beginning of the show and we talk about cam Johnson is what they're doing differently, freeze it here right now, cam Johnson would have shot the basketball if he was in Phoenix He waited for Chris Paul, he waited for someone Devin Booker to take a shot at him, but now he's showing his talent. the dribbling movements and he is out of the ability to dribble the same as Mikhail Bridges freezes here this was again he would have just taken it out he went to the corner he threw it again no, he says I will take you and this is a surprise, I think even for surprise Tobias Harris and say this guy has never done that freeze again, that would have been a pull-up three, he says no, between the legs, let him come back between the legs, ISO, get out of the way, let me make a pick and roll.

Now I'm making the dribble shots that I made before and don't forget, young man, that UNC Brothers, if you come to the wrong place Joe, well, you understand, oh, you had times in your 49 44 is your halftime score. The Nets are 24 minutes away from tying this series, remember the game, 120 turnovers, 31 points less of those, they have only turned it over three times for five Philadelphia points in the first half and they are up by five. Have they ever done this to you? No, yes, no, no, no, you're watching the American Express halftime report. American Express can't live life without it.

The Northern California Battle Royale continues tonight. Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are trying to even things up, that's a bad man. but darling, he's a bad man, there's another bad man on that other thing with the Sacramento Kings coming to you a little later tonight here on TNT uh, let's see, I've never been dunned oh, brilliant. I build a car well. I should have gotten it. No, they're not going to shoot anything at you, Tommy Núñez, that's why I've never been immersed in it.
