BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM
DALLAS'S WIN IN LA.
>> YOU KNOW THE SUPERSTARS
FOR DALLAS STEPPED UP,
ESPECIALLY LUKA. YOU KNOW I
SAID AT HALFTIME WHEN A
SUPERSTAR HAS A BAD GAME I'M
ALWAYS ANXIOUS TO SEE THE
SECOND GAME. HE WAS VERY
AGGRESSIVE. HE HIT SOME
TOUGH SHOTS. AND THIS IS
WHAT SUPERSTARS DO. THIS IS
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, KENNY.
AND CHUCK KNOWS THIS IS WHAT
YOU HAVE TO DO. IF YOU WANT
TO PROPEL YOUR TEAM FOR A
WIN AND YOU KNOW, TO MOVE
ON. SERIES FOR SERIES AND,
YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY AND HAVE
THE POSSIBILITY OF, YOU
KNOW, WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP
. AND KYRIE, HIS
COUNTERPART, HE PLAYED WELL
TOO, THEY KNEW THEY PLAYED
TERRIBLE THE FIRST GAME.
THEY HAD TO STEP IT UP AND
THEY DID. AND THEY GOT A
WIN. NOW THEY'RE GOING HOME
AND THEY'RE REALLY PLAYING
WELL AT HOME ESPECIALLY THE
OTHERS.
>> YEAH I THINK OVERALL
AGAIN LIKE LUKA RIGHT HERE
THIS IS TO ME IS TOO MUCH
TIME WHEN THE GAME IS ON THE
LINE AND HE HAS THE ABILITY
TO TAKE 6 OR 7 DRIBBLES
REGARDLESS IF IT'S A TOUGH
SHOT OR NOT. HE IS ONE OF
THE BEST ONE ON ONE PLAYERS
IN BASKETBALL, IF NOT THE
BEST AT TIMES, BUT HE'S A
LEADING SCORER IN THE LEAGUE
. YOU HAVE TO. I'M JUST YOU
GOT TO GET THE BALL OUT OF
HIS HAND OR YOU GOT TO
PRESSURE HIM.
>> AND I DISAGREE WITH THAT.
YOU WANT HIM SHOOTING THE
BALL I THINK I THINK HE WAS
ON 11 FOR 26, BUT HE'S GOING
TO BE AT THE RIGHT 11. BUT
NO, HE WAS ON THE LEFT. I
THINK THE THING THAT'S
FRUSTRATING FOR THE CLIPPERS
TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE, THEY
DEFERRED TO KAWHI TOO MUCH
BECAUSE THEY BECAUSE YOU
KNOW PAUL GEORGE AND JAMES
DIDN'T PLAY LIKE THEY DID IN
GAME ONE. BUT THAT'S
HAPPENED.
>> WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THAT
THOUGH. SOMETIMES WHEN A GUY
HAS BEEN HAS MISSED THE LAST
NINE GAMES AND THEN YOU
INCORPORATE HIM BACK IN.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE
CASUALLY. YOU DON'T FORCE IT
LIKE THEY DID TONIGHT
BECAUSE THOSE GUYS THAT GAME
DIDN'T LOOK NOTHING LIKE
SUNDAY, NOTHING LIKE SUNDAY.
AND IT WAS UNFORTUNATE
BECAUSE THE MAVS, IF YOU
LOOK AT THEIR STATS, IF
LUKA'S GOING TO GO LEFT FOR
26 AND KYRIE GO GO EIGHT FOR
18, YOU'RE LIKE OH MAN THE
CLIPPERS SHOULD WIN THIS
GAME. BUT THEY'RE ONLY
AVERAGING 16 ASSISTS A GAME.
UNDERDOG JUST TOLD ME THAT I
TOLD YOU MAN THEY COULD BE
SO MUCH BETTER IF THEY
PLAYED AT A FASTER PACE. AND
LUKA KICKED THE BALL. JASON
KIDD WAS ONE OF THE BEST
EVER AT KICKING THE BALL
AHEAD. YOU GOT TO TRUST YOUR
OTHER PLAYERS. HE GOT MUCH
BETTER PLAYERS WITH KYRIE,
PJ GAFFORD AND ALL THOSE
GUYS. HE'S GOT TO TRUST
THOSE GUYS MORE BECAUSE IF
HE MAKE THOSE SHOTS KENNY
THOMAS YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT
SHOT. IF HE MAKES THAT SHOT
YOU JUST SHAKE HIS HAND.
THAT WAS GOOD DEFENSE.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE
SHAKING HIS HANDS. YEAH 99
9693 MAKES THAT SHOT.
>> IS YOUR FINAL SCORE. AND
SO THE SHOT THE MAVS AND THE
CLIPPERS ALL TIED UP AT ONE
APIECE. AND THEY PLAY AGAIN
ON FRIDAY. JUST LIKE YOUR
SUNS ARE GOING TO PLAY AGAIN
ON FRIDAY. CANDACE PARKER
ABOUT TO BE INSTRUCTED BY.
>> YOU RIGHT LUKE STEVENS
COME ON TALKING TO THE
GODFATHER LIKE MONSTER
TRUCKS.
>> AND I'VE BEEN SPENDING
ALL DAY TOGETHER. STEAM
ROOM. OH, YEAH.
>> WE HAD A GREAT TIME ON
THE STEAM ROOM TODAY.
>> NOW YOU'RE KISSING UP.
>> NOW YOU'RE KISSING U
