Inside the NBA reacts to Austin Reaves’ game winner, AD’s injury vs. Pacers & MORE 🍿

by 20 in the third quarter. So there’s your guy Austin Reed and um of course no Luca, no LeBron. He started off a little slow. Julius Randle in the corner for three. It don’t matter though when you got that quadruple green light, man. It’s called Look at that. It’s called the freeway. Yeah. And you can just shoot like that. That’s the freeway. Watch Rudy go there. Go get that. Boy, things has definitely changed for my day in the NBA. Boy, what’s changed? We get excited when the 72 got ducked, I must say. Here’s right, Jack. There’s Reeves for three. Ties the game at 51. And then Randall, go right. That was a nice alley. Come on, man. That’s a call. A dunk. Kenny Reeves and Diamond. Excuse me. Come on. I tell Hey, Aiden played well. Well, I I’m going to give it I love this aggressiveness. Oh, get off me, little man. Lakers up 62- 58 at the half at Tar. We move to the third. Give it. Hey, Jacobia had himself a nice Hey, man. He can play, man. He can score. He had 27 on the night. Oh, shoot that guy like Jason Capo. Oh, that’s a good name, Shaq. Good. That’s a good uh What you going to do with that? That’s a nice pass right here. Oh, okay. That’s a nice connect. Connect for There you go. How about some more Austin Reeves? Why you cheating that catch and shoot? Well, that ain’t no care. That’s a little down screen right there. No, you can’t. 28 points and 16 assists. Tell you what, give Minnesota credit for hanging in there, man. Yeah, they were down 16 in the fourth quarter and here they come. Deonte Anthony Edwards loving it. Oh, good pass. Three point game and now just a one-point game. Make him go right. Make him go right. No, he is right. He he went right. Remember what he was doing out there and he he was uh he had that in mind cuz he got to the rim and come on man. Austin Reeves. If you let somebody split a double, there’s no need to do double if you’re gonna let them split it. That’s two people’s fault on a split. Put your hands up, Rudy. Man, alive. Austin Reeves. That’s a great win by the Lakers. And that’s a great win by the Lakers. 116 to 115 is your final. Reeves of 28. 16. Baby Luca Eightton goes for 17 and 10. Got to think of a name. What? Lar La Lavia Jake Larabia 2 10 for 11. That’s pretty impressive. Yeah, no doubt. Austin Lynn, get rid of the 80. Julius Randle goes for 33. [Music] Alex Caruso, my son. Arco. Yeah, man. Caruso is one of our favorite people, man. Credit to Minnesota for coming back from 20 down in the third quarter and 16 in the fourth quarter, but it came down to this. So, take me through what you saw and what you think should have happened. Well, I think if you slow it down once the picker happens, you know, this is what this is what a ball handle is going to look for if you want to try to split it. So, if you can when you once he jumps out, if you freeze it here, if I if you see Rudy Gobear’s numbers, that means you could split. But here, McDaniels has to do a better job of getting over the top as as he is coming off because now you the split happens and now you’re in the teeth of the defense. you could have a pass and or a shot and he had both and he said no I am the new Jeremy Lynn. I am AKB baby Luca and I am shooting this shot to win. The Jeremy Lynn comp is a little uh yo little bit of a stretch. How long has this guy been in the league in the league? You’re just being a hater, Kenny. I’m not being a hater. He’s having an unbelievable week. I mean but he’s he’s been good for a game. I’m just comparing it to that green. But Jerry Jeremy Lynn come out of nowhere. Yeah. And come on, stop it. You just feeling 50. You think 51 is somewhere out of That’s out of nowhere. 50 for 50 and 40. Averaging 40. No, it’s it’s great. But it’s But this guy’s been a good player for many, many years. Comparison to the Jeremy Lyn. No, he’s been like this. But he’s been for years. Let’s stop the chat. Stop being a hater. Why y’all being so sensitive? This I’m calling a baby Luca too, y’all. I’m just a joke. We’re just trying to take one thing at a time. Let’s move on. Austin Lyn, that’s who he is. Austin. Next bunch of highlights after this. Rudy Goar guarding the pick and roll. Oh, that’s Francis and Francine and Glendale. Two people. I’m going to beat the hell out of you. Joker coming in by the way with triple doules. This is exactly what would happen if you piss me off in here one night. I’m just going to go around New York beating up people. Going to start with you. Only a six-point game at the half. Oh, you realize it’s not 1993. I know. And you were not in 93 anymore either. You know what Denver did? What’s that? Started the third 29-2. 29-2. Ryan with a 24 to nothing run, which was the longest for the Mavs in 25 years. More than 25 and four. Come on, Chico. Nola. Chico, please. He’s got double triple doubles in all four games. Nothing good happen when you trade my man CJ McCullum to hell. Free CJ McCullum. Nuggets have shot at least 50. Get that man on a real team. They ain’t been the same since CJ McCullum left. Never trailed and led by 41. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers with everybody hurt taking on the Dallas Mavericks. Oh, Anthony Davis. Too little. Now Anony’s looking at that left leg. He leaves with a lower left leg soreness. Are you serious? And does not return. He didn’t return. Oh man, that hurts. Did not return. You know, I would just I got hopeful once they realize that Cooper Plag can’t play the point. Hey, look at M McClung. Pacers just signed because they got so many injuries. I hope he gets a fair chance to play in the NBA. I really do. 5552 Indiana at the half. And then here comes Dallas. That’s a guy who’s got to play the point. D’Angelo Russell until I thought Cooper flag and then Cooper flag. Oh, you know what’s coming next. You know what’s coming next. The too small chicken legs. Cooper flag. Don’t do that. Cooper is though. He’s too small. No, don’t do that. Cooper flag. Let him go. Yeah, you can’t do that. Cooper flag. Not the trying to keep him in it and then Ray J Dennis was fouled. made the first miss. Oh, you got to make that. Oh my goodness. Oh, iron on Ernie. Yes, it was. Uh Aaron Nesmith had a tough night. That was a perfect miss. And look at this. Boy, that’s your dream right there to hit a shot at the buzzer. Aaron Nesmith, five points on two of 16 on the night. And the Indiana Pacers playing without Mat, without Nemhard, without Hallebert. Yeah. And without a win, it’s I feel bad. Happy birthday to Rick Carile, too, my guy. It’s um going to be a rough 0 and4 start for the 107 to 105 loss. Last time they started 0 and4, I wasn’t even working here. It was 1988. That’s a long long I tell you man, this uh Cooper’s going to be a good player once they put him in the right situation, be successful, take him off the ball, they going he going to be they going to be fine. But man, the AD thing hurts. We’ll see. We’ll see u how long he uh is out, if at all. Uh Chuck screaming double double and underdog 31 at In and Out. Hey, Michael Green. You Hey, Michael Green. That’s funny. You can do both at the same time. Do both. I’m not a big In-N-Out guy. I’m a Waterburger guy. 12:25. I got another one. Ernie. Hey, Ernie. On the East Coast, it’s 12:25. Yeah, it is. Hey, Kenny. 12:30. Let’s walk out of here. Donovan Mitchell. Oh, Donovan Mitchell. I didn’t know if he was going to play or not cuz he had a hammy. We had a good first half. We had a great first quarter. State Kenny, you’ve already got fired from one network. Look at How about Sam Hower lightening it up, man. Kenny, what? Can you do what he do? 15 points on five of six. Catch that ball and don’t bring it down and shoot it. First quarter. That’s the only way I can shoot right now, Chuck. No, I’m that that to me I’m I’m being serious right now. Not many people do it. Not many people in the world can do that early. Jason Capono did it. Cut it out. Who? He said Jason. Second Jason Capono mention of the night. Oh, spin cycle. Jaylen Brown. Second 30-point game of the season. Had a 41 earlier. Derek White for three. And then a deep three from Jaylen. Jaylen Lynn. Jaylen Lynn. Oh, you’re too much. You know, you know what the new way it should be? Reeves sanity. My man told me that. Ree sanity. 70 75 to 60 at the half. I like that. 75- 60. And here comes Jaylen Brown again. Oh, Derek White. And then Brown again. Look at him. Come on. Little man can’t guard him, man. He’s leading that point game. The uh Cleveland Cavaliers and Fern Simons, the old Blazer. He shot that jumper from way black. Oh, that pass is definitely leaving a mark. The Boston Celtics, after dropping their first three, have won their last two, 125 to 105 over Cleveland. That’s the Cavaliers threeame winning streak. And u all kind of guys helping out on the Boston side of things. Put a smudge on that Cleveland Cavaliier record. Yeah, very good one. All right, let’s move on. Oh, let’s move on to what they were saying after the game. That’s what I meant. I think from game one to now, you’ve seen multiples of like the best version of what we can become and there was a lot of minutes over the last two three games where we’ve had like this is who we have to be like just getting 11 12 guys that can play the way we need to play on both ends of the floor. We’ll continue to grow as a team. You said it takes time to build chemistry, to build an identity. How helpful was a night like tonight in doing so? It’s a step in the right direction. Um, we still got a lot of work to do. Obviously, like we said before, we got a lot of guys that from last year that are gone, but we looking to to fill those roles with some guys we got now. Jaylen is playing super efficient basketball. How have you seen him take on what is inevitably going to be a new role with more pressure? I don’t think he would label it a new role or more pressure. I think that’s what outside people are saying. He’s not saying that. He’s saying I have to play my game and do what uh the team needs me to do to win. So, uh that’s just not how he operates. 21 threes on the night for the Celtics who have been struggling from distance here in the first week of the season. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell Shack with that great first quarter and then not much else. Yeah, we’re going to blame it on the hamstring tightness, but you know, we definitely need him to pick it up if Cleveland wants to pass to that next level. They’re going to be good. They’re going to be in the top four, but we need them at the next level. How about the Orlando Magic in the Detroit Pistons? Yeah, this is an interesting game for me because what these are both teams got high expectations. Oh, Kade Cunningham. Finger in the eye from Jaylen Suggs at the half. Just a one-point game. 656. Ken, if you had to pick between these two, which one you think going to be better by the end of the season? Now watch this. Oh, give me that. Give me that. Yeah, that’s Cade with the block on Suggs. No, I I would say the Detroit Pistons are already good. The Orlando Magic have to resurface a little bit. Well, they made a lot of changes. It’s going to uh That didn’t answer my question, fool. I said they’re already good. You said which one going to be better? I said which one going to be better by the end of the season. Um Well, I’ll answer. Take your time. We only got 10 seconds. There is Duncan Robinson for three. I forgot about Dun. I’m going to say the Detroit Pistons will be Kade Cunningham. 30 points, six rebounds, 10 assists, zero turnovers. That’s a big time game from Kade. Uh, you know, that’s a great question, Kenny. Actually, what is I don’t know which one’s going to be better. Didn’t you ask the question? I did cuz I wanted some I want some help. I’m not You’re like, that is a great question, Kenny. You asked him. And you can’t tell yourself that you you ask yourself a great question. A lot of go one of my favorite players right there, Scotty. Scotty Barnes. Yes. You think he’s top 20? I do. Easily top 20. Top 20. Oh yeah. TD. I don’t know. No. Scott Barn is top 20 for sure. Top 25, not 20. No. Well, no. Oh, what about this guy? He talked. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Alpurn Shenon. Shenon is Tari E. Oh, that’s from half court. That’s I like Trey E, man. Good. I like T. Good energy, dude. Tell you what, the Rockets, man, they a lot of expectations on them down there. Yes, it is. Scotty Barnes for three. But if they had He had 31. Oh, those expectations would be met. 29 for Brandon Ingram. So, those guys combined for six KD cash. That’s automatic. You know, who’s also playing pretty well? Your guy Jabari Smith. Oh my god. He listen. Anybody go to Auburn going to be a good player? Didn’t his dad go to LSU? Yes, he did. Shoot that thing, Jabari. 8467 at that point. Oh, good move. Scotty Barnes along the baseline. It’s going to be interesting in the Western Conference. Who can come? Who going to rise up and play with Oklahoma City? KD for 31 on this night. 11 out of 19 and four out of eight from deep. Why do that wide open? I I was about to say the exact same thing. How do you double up a Kevin Durant to leave him off with the three? Jeez. Gosh. 139121. Uh points in the paint in that game. 6636. How you give up 139 points? Fast break points. 27-7. If you get 121 points, you should win a game. You shouldn’t give up 139. That Charles Barker like defense. Houston did something they’ve not done. What’s that? 135 points or more, 55% field goal percentage in back-to-back games. It’s the first time they’ve ever done that. How about that? Well, they got a really nice squad. That impress anybody? They got to They got to rise up cuz you got to go through Denver and OKC to get out of the West. Who so far, Chuckster has been? I mean, OKC is undefeated. Then who’s number two right now? Is it Denver or is it is it Houston? Is it San Antonio undefeated? I’m not going to give San Anton. They going to prove it to me. I would go with Denver. I think Denver’s the second best team in the West in my opinion. I think the addition I really like Cam Johnson going there. Uh I really like him a lot. Jamal Murray, he’s on fire right now. The Joker, man. This guy is so great. He’s He’s had like three triple doubles in a row and we just kind of like uh It’s four. Four. Yeah. Only other guys to do that. This is an easy one. Only other guys to get have four straight triple doubles to start the year. Magic Johnson. to start the year, fool. Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook. Why? Why? Why bad Oscar Robertson the first to start the year? Not the whole It’s still not a bad guess. It is a bad guess. How many He’s I bet he’s in the top five all time. But the obvious answer is the guys that average triple double should be a dummy. Hey, listen, man. That’s obvious. Hey, go back to making up words. Secondary. Okay. Third dairy. Third dairy collusion. Yeah, I I got third dairy after I went to dinner with you. Third dairy. Third dairy meal. All right. That’s amazing though to average a trip. Fourth straight triple doubles. When we come back, more highlights. Go to sleep. No more jokes for you. Look who’s uh look who’s coming up uh in the next segment. Who’s up? Well, you like to uh make their their sound. One, two, three. No. Oh, sorry. I’m I’m sorry. Oh, come on. You too sleep. You sleep. No one’s jumping for you. My bad. I’m done. You’re done. We welcome you back inside the NBA here on ESPN. Hawks and the windless Brooklyn Nets. Right back. Oh my gosh. Mohamed Gay fell into Trey Young. Young leaves with a right knee sprain and he would not return. Some might see how hard Trey I hope that’s just a sprain and it is they’re going to have an MRI. Quinn Snider said it is not an ACL. I didn’t know Quinn was a doctor. Well, I imagine that they told him that Jaylen Johnson. Boy, great to have him back in Atlanta. Tell you what, man. That was high expectation for this Hawks team this year, especially from you, Michael Porter Jr. There’s no hope for Brooklyn 30. Luke Canard. Get him. Nice addition with that southpaw three. He had 17. And then Johnson again. Who he play for? Just keeps driving to the top. It’s going to be a long year in Brooklyn. Yes, it already is. They’re 0 and5 to start the year. We can start we can start the uh the ripple countdown and um Atlanta going to two and three points. Remember when Orlando lost all the game and I drink Ripple on the air. Yeah. Points off turnovers in that on another network. 27 to seven. I do remember that. Bring the ripple in. Next time we’re on the air. Look on your fingers like Shaq eating the hot chip. Zack Lavine back in Chicago. Spent eight years with the Bull. Oh my damn jeez. I didn’t know he still had Oh yeah, he’s he’ll always have that. Yeah, that’s Yeah, that’s Yeah, but I’m telling you this is one of the surprise teams that they Oh my god. 6462 at the half. Yeah, they’re celebrating. I got to give the Bulls their flowers. They they giddy over there. Oh, 39-27 was the way they outscored him in the third quarter. And again, no count. It’s open. Okay, Mis. I’m tell you, Modus is playing excellent. Good pass, boy. Oh, Jaylen Smith from Josh Giddy. That boy Bazelas is nice. He is. Okay. Minus 275. Giddy 20. Oh, they got harder, too. Well, yeah. The the red car to shoot that thing. And Veovich, who’s been carrying them so far. 134 and seven. The Bulls are 4-0 for the first time since Michael Jordan was alive. No, since 2122 season when they started 4-0. 21-22. Yeah. Well, that that didn’t work out. But they haven’t they haven’t started 5-0 since Jordan. Oh yeah. [Music]
