The Los Angeles Lakers Take A 3-1 Lead in the Western Conference Finals | NBA on TNT 

Kenny is wrong. Kawhi doesn’t really guard the best player anymore. That’s because he’s shouldering the offense. Same could be said for a lot of star players.

Ernie: shaq, how bout that play Shaq: … Chuck: LisTEn

They make Chuck seem like the clown but it’s Kenny every time

"I'm telling you right now chuck imma frisbee this ipad at ya" Shaq really is Mr. Sensitive 🤣

Lakers fans praying chuck doesn’t guarantee the 4-1 series win 😂🏀

Kenny and Shaq don’t realize that Charles never winning a chip actually gives him great perspective as an analyst. His experience in losing helps him to know what breaks down in a team’s loss

This is interesting... The Lakers in the last 2 series were up 3-1 The Nuggets in the last 2 series was down 1-3 Now for the 3rd series in a row, they BOTH find themselves in the same position. So if history decides to repeat itself again, it's either going to be Lakers in 5 or Nuggets in 7.

Everyone: Dwight Howard Charles Barkley: Duuuwhiiite Howerd

Rondo getting that offensive rebound was the dagger 🙆‍♂️😂😂

Think chuck was just getting at the fact that the joker has to go against Howard, McGee and AD. One after the other.

Kenny wrong, Kawhi doesn’t guard the best player everytime.

Chuck is right. Jokic does EVERYTHING for that team. More than Kawhi does for his team. Plus I think Howard made Joker work really hard for everything, so he got tired

Chuck interrupting Shaq is too funny 💀😭

Chucks right, joker has to battle Howard in the post, guard AD on the outside, he has generate offense with his assist and score on top of that, AD has bron, all he has to focus on is scoring.

Anyone: Man it sure is a nice day outside Shaq: Man up!

Ernie just watching them fight not trying to get involved. Ernie is the true MVP

3:50 Dudley built like my neighbour with an alcohol problem

Barkley got this one right, the best doesn't always guard the best, On and off

I could totally understand chuck's point but i think he just wasn't able to articulate it in the moment. Also it helps when you got kenny and shaq hammering down on you. Lets not compare jokic to the greats but lets talk about the matchups in this series. Jokic is always facing a fresh defensive center of the highest caliber (whether it be AD or Dwight and even Javale whose not on the same level but always brings the energy for the minutes he is on the floor) Jokic has to play more minutes than any of the guys guarding him and AD is relatively fresher when Jokic has to defend him. So he has to work way harder to get himself going on the offensive end and at the same time work hard to stop a much fresher AD. And on top of this he has to stop all these guys from rebounding the basketball so chuck does have a point. Whether he has to overcome this to become a "great" or a champion is a different question

Kawhi didn’t guard Luka, Murray, Jokic and many other great players. Tape doesn’t lie Kenny “the liar” Smith

These young cats with Den are hard nosed, tough, skilled, and well coached. Not quite their time but as a LAL fan much respect.

1:41 Chuck messing with Shaq is gold

shaq and Kenny constantly interrupting chuck every 5 seconds. no respect, just let the man make his point

I'm tired of Kenny talking like he was on the same level as Chuck and Shaq

If they stop hating on chuck they would see his point lol Jokic need to play good o and good d Against AD Howard Kawhi did not guard doncic or kzap

Can Kenny shut up and let Chuck speak? He’s trying to make a point, he was a MVP and a superstar. You were a role player and got carried.

3:42 Jared Dudley looking like Tim Duncan and Tony Parker’s out of shape Lovechild

Dwight howard make all the difference in this match, first he out rebound everybody from the beginning, inspired his teammates to fight for rebound all the way. And he singlehandedly stopped nikola jokic , who didn't make any impact because of dwight defense.

Dwight was a beast this game, no idea why he wasn't used in the 2nd half.

Pippen guarded the opposite teams best player each time and I see chuck's point

Dwight : Starting game 4 Jokic: here we go again lol

I love this show, but this was easily the most awkward/hardest one to watch. My god. The way they wouldnt let chuck explain his point RE the best players on both ends. You can't continually shoot down someones point if you're not letting them even explain it. And Chuck was right.

Kenny is wrong, even MJ didn't guard the best player all game

No Kenny. Kawhi never guarded Doncic fully. He’ll even MJ didn’t do it in his time.

Let my boy Chuck speak, he can’t even make his case.

Kenny with the: "Jordan was guarding the best player" Yea fo sure with his 6'6 he was guarding Hakeem, Karl Malone, Shaq and those other giants who dominated nba back then

Am i the only one who noticed the locker room convo? Coach said “thanks lebron & ad . Cool that everybody else showed up.. lets do it again” 😂 like what

Chuck owned this situation and handled that debate like a pro. Can’t stand when Kenny and Shaq belittle and don’t even listen to Chuck’s statements, especially when they’re wrong.

Tired of Kenny acting like he wasn’t a role player. Sure you’re a pro and won a championship but you could have been replaced easily bro

What chuck is trying to say is that Jokic is first of all a Center ,he has to rebound move the ball and create for his teammates, no other center did that, whith his height and weight is very difficult to have the same energy, that's my interpretation anyway ,have a blessed day everyone

So Kenny just sleep when Clippers play. Coz he doesn't know that Kawhi wasn't guarding the best player of opposite team

Barkley hes right on this one

Charles@1:44 had me 😭..... I knew he was going to talk when Shaq was talking🤣

Yo does Kenny actually watch games?

Kuzma + Green = Trash Brothers 😂

By the look on Murray's face you can tell he is mentally tired just the fact being down 3-1 for the third time's and you tell he knows this is going extra difficult to overcome.

The Nuggets In the locker room after going down 3-1: Mike Malone: You know the drill

I wish i had a group of friends like these guys. They are awesome. I feel lonely alot.

I got to put Respect on Jamal Murray name He is a new age inverson with the scoring he's layout against lebron up there

Kenny had to make the first seconds about him somehow

I actually agree with Chuck on this one. We routinely see the player that has a high offensive load (scoring, playmaking), get hid on defense. Battling Dwight when on offense, and then banging with him or guarding AD is more because he control more aspects of the game than those goes.

I love this crew. More entertaining than the game most of the time.

Just wonder what Kuz was doing jumping around Porter jr. while he was shooting 3 :)

Kawhi does not guard the other team's best player the whole game and hasn't in years, kenny is full of it

Chuck was right this time. It's obvious that the team's best offensive player rarely guards the opposing team's best offensive player. They have to save their energy. Someone else has to step up and guard the best player. Michael Jordan rarely defended the best player on the opposing team. That was mostly Pippen & the centers' jobs.

Great Dfense by LBJ on Murray. DH39 aggressive. Tnx Coach for giving DH39 more time on the floor. The team is healthy so, we closing this series and get to the finals.

These guys need to chill they got me laughing like an idiot 🤣🤣🤣

chuck actually made a really good point when he said kawhi didn’t guard luka

Murry looks like he knows it's OVER. They Definitely! won't be coming back on this one....

I hate when they interview the losing team. Murray didn’t want to talk to them. I felt bad for them.

Chuck doesn't look like he's getting enough sleep with those dark circles

Nuggets: "We're down 3-1" Also Nuggets: "I can do this all day"..

im proud lakers fans in the philippines ....lakers won finals champs ..remembering of kobe bryant ,is a happiness lakers vs miami 4-2

Jamal Murray just played one of the most beautiful basketball games in recent NBA history. The reverse lay in on Lebron, the left hand floater while falling down. His performance was something to remember for a while in my opinion.

Have to respect Murray. Howard really set the tone played so well. Lakers won throughout.

i agree with chuck, Jokic is got to be tired, i mean who wouldnt? Passing, Shooting, Blocking, and rebounding against the tallest team left on the buble... i mean we could bring any great of the past and at this point after 18 games practically without rest they would be tired aswell, but as a laker fan i still am confident that jokic will bring his best next game... is gonna be a tough one im sure

1:01 SHAQ goin off on Chuck...🤣🤣🤣🤣

These guys know the game and are hilariously funny, which makes for a very entertaining show.

I remember coming into the season, everybody said that Frank Vogel was just a temporary fit and was going to get fired sooner or later. Lol he seems to be doing just fine with this roster. People underestimate his coaching abilities for his failures with the Pacers but that had more to do with PG13 choking time and time again and the fact that they were going up against the Miami superteam at the time. If anything, I always felt like he overachieved at Indiana considering the rosters that he had to work with.

Charles “will them to win” Barkley.

Shaq & kenny I tell you what. Charles Barkley is right. What he was letting y'all know is that Jokić was getting worn out by Javale, Dwight, AD. Plus he is pushing his team. Of course great players do that. But great players get tired too. Barkley is right.....on this one

Kenny so MJ was sticking The Dream in the post??? Stop it 😂😂😂 he needs be a role player on the show like he was on the rockets chill out man 🤦🏽‍♂️

does chuck have this same energy defending bron back when he’s backpacking cleveland back in 2018? this a genuine question

The goat dudley so inspirational

"Ima frisbee this iPad at you Chuck" 😂😂

Great point about the kind of shots a player will get in a game

Total Foul calls for both teams in this series: Calls on Lakers: 109 Calls on DEN: 97 Technicals On LAL: 4 On Den: 1 Free throw attempts LAL: 113 Den: 113 Kawhi wanted no smoke from Luka that entire series we all saw that. He doesnt guard the best player like he used to because he has to carry them on offense... everyone knows that.... Don't let them distract you from the fact that Joker is getting WORKED by an old Howard. Completely took him out of TWO games this series.... Murry is going to be a superstar. Kid has heart and is a beast. The league is in good hands with these young bloods

To be completely honest, Rondo was and has been the most important player for the Lakers success. I'm prayin his contribution is recognized by the franchise and they will do whatever possible to keep him around for years to come. That's as a player and after he decides to hang them up.

This will be really interesting to see how the Nuggets try to come out of this hole, much like the previous two situations they were in being down 3-1

the reaction murray broke my heart even though im a laker fan

3:45 Dudley out here looking like a middle-aged insurance salesmen getting ready to play a game of pick up with his son after work.

Love how Ernie is interrupted so seldomly.

Even though they were showing the highlights, I wish they would do a small box in the corner of the studio guys. When Chuck interrupted Shaq again... and Shaq said he was going to throw his IPad at him like a frisbee.... those are the moments that make this the greatest sports show ever.

Danny Green and Kuzma need to score 10+ to close out the Nuggets

Shutup kenny! Barkley was right, best players don't guard best players anymore.

CHUCKS HAVE POINT AT THIS TIME.. WHEN DWIGHT GUARDING JOKER HAD NO PRESSURE..

Stop it Kenny, Kawhi DOES NOT guard the best player on the other team. Those days are over, he MIGHT do it in crunch time.

Ernie's like the teacher in a class. When he speaks everyone else goes silent.

In previous years I would agree with Chuck. But Murray has been great offensively these entire playoffs. He is averaging 25+ points a game and had 20 assists in the last two games... Saying that Joker has to carry the entire Nuggets offense is not accurate. I think Shaq is right in that his rhythm was likely affected by having to sit out due to foul trouble. It probably affected his overall aggressiveness and rebounding as well.

Chuck is right, Jokic has many tough assignments that would be hard to do..

My man Dwght coming in big. Keep it goin' big fella, chip on its way!!

"are you saving him for over time"... 🤣 🤣 Dont do em like that chuck hahhahahh

Am looking at Denver roster even though they lost it's impressive the way this roster preforms hats off Nuggets

1, 2, 3 MAMBA 💜💛

i love this bunch. best analysts in sports.

*chuck blinks* Shaq: "Stop it Chuck"

"Shaq wadda you think about this..?"...Kenny is the best instigator 😂😂

The Nuggets got the Lakers right where they want em

Please listen Kenny! Why do you interrupt everytime when Chuck makes legitimate points??? Jokic is a center and does shoot 3points, drive in, post up in offense hand and defends the best players in switch defense also! You can't simply compare guys from 80s,90s because the energy level of guarding centers and guards is completely different and centers back then didn't do parameter offense or passing like jokic. They didnt have to guard 3 good centers of the opposite team, they didnt play 7game series TWICE and won to get to the WCF. Of course, he is tired, what are you talking about? Have some attitude when someone talks

They all great in their own way but man chuck is a special sports icon. The man oozes authenticity. And he was a baller in his day..straight baller.
