FunTranscript
00:00Here on the East Coast it is 1-0-1, but that game was worth staying up for, man.
00:06The Lakers and the Knicks going to overtime and L.A. takes it 1-13 to 1-0-9, it's inside
00:12the NBA.
00:13It's presented by Kia, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal.
00:18You know there's no, uh...
00:20Counting his birthday cash?
00:21No, you don't want your money on the back side of that.
00:24Huh?
00:25Oh.
00:26Yeah.
00:27It's not the...
00:28It's only on one side.
00:29The money's only on one side.
00:30Damn, man.
00:31He was counting, I'm like, what is he doing with the cards?
00:34Ken, Kenny the Jetsmith, who knows his counterfeit money, and Charles Barkley.
00:40We had that...
00:41Just to keep that yellow thing in my pocket.
00:44I used to keep that yellow stick in my pocket to make sure there was real money in there.
00:49This is a heck of a game that happened on March 6th and certainly felt like an April
00:53or May contest right here as we take you out to L.A.
00:58And...
00:59Terrific game.
01:00Yeah, second half, so we're just gonna pick it up in the second half.
01:03Really?
01:04Yeah.
01:05Okay.
01:06Because there was...
01:07It was a 60-51 New York lead.
01:08Oh, excuse me.
01:09At the break, Jalen Brunson getting the roll.
01:15And LeBron over Cat.
01:19Connect!
01:20Yep.
01:21Gotta find the shooters.
01:24No way.
01:27Thank you so much, Shaq.
01:28Win $100,000?
01:29Oh!
01:30$100,000?
01:31$100,000?
01:32Oh, this is the same thing as my guy's halftime game, so I'm down to...
01:38An All-Star game with me and Shaq.
01:41Oh.
01:42Cat, 12 and 14 on the night.
01:45Luka up top to Jackson Hayes.
01:47I would have loved to see them pass the ball to Cat every now and then, I mean, like at
01:52all.
01:53And LeBron, part of a 10-to-1 run, made it a one-point game.
01:57And the answer immediately from Josh Hart out of the corner.
02:01Yeah, be quiet.
02:04You want another answer?
02:05How about Gabe Vinson?
02:06He hit two big threes down the street.
02:08Yeah, after some offensive rebounds, too.
02:10Brunson.
02:11Oh, that's that one.
02:12You heard JJ say in that interview after the third quarter, said, the guy just makes tough
02:16shots, and boy, that was one for sure.
02:18Who was that?
02:19Who?
02:20Brunson.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Talking about Brunson making tough shots.
02:24LeBron, he was downhill.
02:25That's the second one he hit in a row.
02:29So now L.A.'s got the lead first time since it was 32-30.
02:33Hey!
02:34Brunson.
02:35Oh, my goodness.
02:36In his bag.
02:37Geez.
02:38I hated their offense in the fourth quarter and overtime.
02:40Man.
02:41You got to get a ball to Cat at some point.
02:43No, Cat got to go get the ball.
02:44This guy scored every time.
02:46Yeah, but you got to get other guys involved.
02:48Chance for the Knicks.
02:49Chance for the Knicks to win it right here.
02:51Josh Hart nowhere near in time.
02:54Yeah, you got to get a shot in that situation.
02:56So let's go to overtime where the Knicks are 5-0 heading into this one.
03:00Best record in the league in overtime.
03:02That's just a tough shot right there.
03:03It was indeed.
03:0532-7-12 for Luka, and he's at his spot right there and cans the three.
03:11Two possessions in a row.
03:12He wanted that switch with Cat on him.
03:15But New York would not go away, and then this happened to Jalen Brunson
03:20as he takes it to the hole and comes down on Austin Reeves.
03:23Man, that's a tough blow.
03:25Oh, that's bad.
03:27Two weeks.
03:28He stayed.
03:29Thank you, Dr. O'Neal.
03:30He stayed in, made both free throws.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Couldn't stay in the play, unfortunately, man.
03:36This guy is having a first-team All-NBA type season.
03:40Without doubt.
03:41Game tied at 1-0-7 as Brunson makes his way to the locker room.
03:46This is not a good play in my opinion right here.
03:48You've got to go to Cat in that situation.
03:50Instead, Cat over the back fouls LeBron.
03:53They initially tried to throw it in the post, and he couldn't hold his position.
03:58Oh.
04:00OG misses from point blank.
04:04See, right there.
04:05Chuck, do something with it.
04:06And then it's Ananobi again.
04:08Determined to the hole, and it goes, and one.
04:14Got to get that Cat.
04:15Oh.
04:16Cannot convert the three-point play.
04:21And the Lakers hold on to win it in overtime, 1-13 to 1-0-9.
04:27That is eight straight wins, a season high for the Lakers
04:31as the Knicks drop their second straight, their first overtime loss
04:35in six tries.
04:37And now for the Knicks, on to the Clippers.
04:40Tomorrow, SAC Monday, Portland Wednesday, Golden State Saturday
04:45as part of this five-game road trip.
04:48They could lose every trip.
04:49They're playing nine games out of 11 on the road,
04:53and this is a five-game trip, and it starts with that overtime loss.
04:56They could actually lose every game on this trip.
04:58Especially without Brunson.
04:59Definitely without Brunson.
05:00Yeah, that is the question right there.
05:02Yeah, it's going to be tough.
05:03I mean, because the Clippers, without Brunson,
05:06I don't think they're going to win the game.
05:08I'm not going to lie.
05:09The Lakers, meantime, now have 1-8 straight,
05:12and it took a fourth-quarter comeback to get it done.
05:15Listen, they play well.
05:16LeBron and Luca did a great job of involving the others.
05:19As you saw, Gabe Vincent hit two big shots,
05:21but listen, they just had a lot of fight.
05:23You know, we was worried about their defense with Luca
05:27and them not being a great defensive player,
05:29but they got timely stops.
05:31They got timely stops.
05:32Like, I always talk about timely stops
05:34versus being a great defensive team.
05:36They got timely stops.
05:37They hit some timely shots, and, you know,
05:39with Brunson going down and Cat not being aggressive,
05:42the Lakers won the game.
05:43And they were down 90-80 in that game
05:45and then put a 19-6 run together,
05:48and they win for the eighth straight time.
05:50Scoring is going to be easy, and as things go on,
05:55defense is going to be the question
05:57if they're going to be in a Western Conference final game
06:01because as you, in the first round,
06:04you're going to have teams that you can overmatch, probably.
06:07But then after that, everyone matches up with you
06:10in terms of they could score the ball as well,
06:12but then they have size.
06:14And, you know, they won this game in overtime,
06:17but you have to win four of these kind of games
06:19against Western Conference teams that have size.
06:21And so that's going to be their biggest question
06:24because you don't go OKC and you have all that size
06:27down in the running.
06:28But they got to get to OKC.
06:30They're the second seed, Chuck.
06:31I know, they got to get to OKC.
06:33No, no, they're the second seed.
06:34I understand that, OKC.
06:35They got two rounds before they get to OKC.
06:37Okay, and so then they got Denver.
06:39They got OKC.
06:40They got teams like that that have size.
06:42And that is, can you beat them four times
06:45and play four times like that?
06:46That's going to be the question
06:47because in terms of the offensive prowess,
06:50they are elite in that respect.
06:52Put a period on this game for me, Chuck.
06:54Great win by the Lakers.
06:56I think if you're the Knicks,
06:57you got to be very disappointed.
06:58I hated their offense
06:59in the fourth quarter in overtime.
07:01You know, Shaq keeps saying,
07:03cat's not aggressive.
07:05You've got to call plays to get him
07:07because go back and look at the first half.
07:09When they were winning,
07:10they were getting him the ball in the post.
07:12He never took a shot in the fourth quarter,
07:14never took a shot or overtime.
07:16You can't win like that.
07:18Finishes with 12 and 14.
07:20Meantime, in the last few days,
07:22there's been a lot of talk about LeBron James
07:24and the feat of 50,000 points
07:26regular season, playoffs combined.
07:28First guy to get there.
07:29And that brings up talk of records
07:31you think might never be broken.
07:33And in crossing sports,
07:34you've got one in hockey
07:35that's in the process of being broken.
07:37He's ten away.
07:38Ovechkin's ten away.
07:39From breaking Wayne Gretzky's mark.
07:41So, Tarek El-Bashir,
07:42one of our NHL on TNT ringside reporters,
07:44caught up with Ovi to talk about the magnitude
07:46of surpassing the record.
07:47And he's going to talk about
07:48how he's been able to do that.
07:49He's going to talk about
07:50how he's been able to do that.
07:51He's going to talk about
07:52how he's been able to do that.
07:53He's going to talk about
07:54how he's been able to do that.
07:55The magnitude of surpassing
07:56one of hockey's greatest milestones.
08:00And he scores!
08:02Alexander Ovechkin!
08:04Nine away from 99!
08:07Ten from the all-time record.
08:09I want to put this into perspective, man.
08:11I mean, this record,
08:12for people who aren't maybe big hockey fans,
08:15this is like Hank Aaron passing Babe Ruth.
08:17Right?
08:18This is like Emmitt Smith
08:19passing Walter Payton.
08:20This is like LeBron James
08:22passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
08:24When you hear names like that
08:25in all of sports,
08:26how does that make you feel?
08:28I feel great.
08:29You know, like every time
08:30when you hear those names
08:32and your name close to each other,
08:34it's a special moment.
08:42A matter of time
08:43for Alex Ovechkin.
08:46And so we talk about
08:47untouchable sports records.
08:50Look at Cy Young
08:51Look at Cy Young
08:52with 749 complete games
08:54in Major League Baseball.
08:56And the active leader
08:57is Justin Verlander with 26.
09:00Would you say,
09:01well, I guess,
09:03I think an untouchable record
09:04is 100 points in a game
09:05by Will Chamberlain as well.
09:07Well, averaging 50.
09:08No, I don't think a player
09:09is going to average 50.
09:10I don't think a player
09:11is going to get 100 points in a game.
09:12Oh, I don't agree.
09:13I agree with you on that, too.
09:14But you see how great
09:15Jerry Rice was, man.
09:18I mean, that's just amazing.
09:19But Will,
09:21to average 50 points a game.
09:23I mean, on a bad night,
09:24he got 45.
09:25Yeah.
09:26And then Wayne.
09:27Yeah, what was wrong, Will?
09:28Tonight, you had 38.
09:29And Wayne, look at that.
09:30Sidney Crosby,
09:31who's obviously amazing.
09:32He's a thousand points
09:34behind Wayne.
09:35That's crazy how great
09:36Wes is.
09:37And you got them fools
09:38up in Canada
09:39giving the great one
09:40a hard time.
09:41I went off on them
09:42the day on the podcast.
09:43You just went off on everybody.
09:44I was in that mood today.
09:45He was in a venting
09:46kind of mood today.
09:47Wayne Gretzky is the
09:48greatest hockey player
09:49ever.
09:50He's the greatest person.
09:51Well, his nickname
09:52is the great one.
09:53I know, but the fools
09:54up in Canada
09:55giving him a hard time
09:56because of the tariff
09:57with Trump and everything.
09:58He has nothing to do
09:59with that.
10:00He played hockey.
10:01He's the greatest
10:02hockey player ever.
10:03He got no control
10:04of what these fools
10:05do down here
10:06in our government.
10:07I mean, Tim,
10:08as you might have expected,
10:09the crew upstairs was-
10:10I'd love to be
10:11in an old folks home
10:12with you.
10:13Why wait
10:14until an old folks home?
10:15Hey, Chuck,
10:16you know,
10:17teeth, house coats on.
10:18The crew upstairs-
10:19Hold.
10:20Hold.
10:21I said vanilla pudding.
10:22I don't want no
10:23damn chocolate pudding.
10:24Let me tell you, man.
10:25Let me put my teeth
10:26back in.
10:27So-
10:28Where's my meds?
10:29The crew upstairs
10:30talking about some
10:31TNT,
10:32untouchable records.
10:33Will anybody
10:34have 61 points
10:35on their birthday?
10:36Chuck's career,
10:3726.6%,
10:38three-point percentage.
10:39Why y'all hating
10:40on me and Chuck?
10:41And 71 consecutive
10:42excuses.
10:43I got 2,000
10:44attempts.
10:45Damn.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Are you
10:48Chuck?
10:49You know what
10:50our scout report was?
10:51What?
10:52It's the worst
10:53in NBA history.
10:54Back off of him.
10:55Let him shoot that.
10:56I shot 2,000
10:57of them.
10:58Yeah.
10:59You were 26%.
11:00We used to be like,
11:01back off of him.
11:02I would like to show
11:03how many I actually shot.
11:04Underdogs probably got
11:05that right in front of us
11:06right now.
11:07How many threes
11:08did I shoot?
11:09He'd be talking about
11:10a cat, Kenny.
11:11Get your ass
11:12in the post.
11:13He wasn't
11:14supposed to.
11:15He shot the threes.
11:16We were like-
11:17Barely made it.
11:18Barely made it
11:19to 2,000.
11:20But you know what?
11:21Later on in your career,
11:22you actually shot it better.
11:23You did shoot it better
11:24later in your career.
11:25Early in your career.
11:26Because I couldn't
11:27play anymore.
11:28This is El Garbaj.
11:29Oh, and now what?
11:30See, El Garbaj is early.
11:31Video evidence.
11:32This is early in the career.
11:33This is El Garbaj.
11:34Oh, that he's taking
11:35it tough with.
11:36Damn.
11:37That's late.
11:38Look at you.
11:39That shark's
11:40going to fool him.
11:41Why are you taking
11:42all these threes?
11:43Because I can't jump
11:44anymore.
11:45These are all
11:46yachts.
11:47They're doing some
11:48damage.
11:49That one probably went
11:50in.
11:51Kevin B.
11:52Bad stack of
11:53blind papers.
11:54That shark's
11:55tossing around today.
11:56I'm like,
11:57what are you doing
11:58over there?
11:59Really not a very
12:00effective sight gag
12:01with that one.
12:02Look what Steph Curry
12:03was up to again
12:04tonight.
12:05Yeah.
12:06He was
12:07up to something.
12:08He was
12:09up to something.
12:10He was
12:11up to something.
12:12He was
12:13up to something.
12:14He was
12:15up to something.
12:16Nothing
12:17seems to be
12:18working tonight.
12:19Yeah.
12:20Stuff
12:21like this.
12:22Highlights on the way.
12:23I'm just
12:24not putting my boy
12:25in that conversation.
