Jokić & Chuck Have a Priceless Moment After Denver’s Game 7 Win 🤣👏 | NBA on TNT

>> VERY RARELY, WE START AN INSIDE THE NBA AT 1001 EASTERN TIME, BUT THAT IS WHAT WE’RE DOING TONIGHT. SINGLE GAME, 1030. WE OUT ALL WE HAD 1030. ALL WE HAD WAS THAT ONE GAME. IT WAS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN AND IT WAS A GAME SEVEN. >> AND IT ESCALATED QUICKLY. >> YES, IT GOT OUT OF HAND IN A HURRY. WELCOME, EVERYBODY. ERNIE JOHNSON, SHAQUILLE O’NEAL. >> YOU’RE NOT GOING TO SHOW THESE HIGHLIGHTS. >> CAIN SMITH AND CHARLES BARKLEY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN ARE WE GOING TO SEND. >> THEM ROOTING FOR THE CLIPPERS? WHAT ARE YOU ROOTING FOR THE CLIPPERS. NO, I DIDN’T SAY I DON’T ROOT FOR ANYBODY. I PICKED THE CLIPPERS. I DON’T ROOT FOR ANYBODY I DON’T CARE. >> I WAS JUST GIVING HIS OPINION ON HOW A GAME SEVEN WOULD. >> PLAY AS THE SAME THING. NO IT’S NOT. YEAH. NO IT’S NOT. STOP IT. HEY HEY HEY! >> STOP IT! ZEKE. WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE BEFORE WE HIT THE TC? >> MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE HOCKEY GAME UP IN THE CORNER, TOO, BECAUSE I’VE BEEN WATCHING THAT ALL NIGHT. >> OH, WE GOT ANOTHER GAME SEVEN TOMORROW NIGHT. >> WE GOT A GAME SEVEN GOING ON RIGHT NOW. >> WARRIORS AND ROCKETS. THAT FOLLOWS GAME ONE OF THE PACERS SERIES. THAT’S GOING TO BE A GREAT DOUBLEHEADER TOMORROW. >> YOU KNOW WHAT WE. >> SHOULD DO. PLEASE JOIN US AT 530 WHEN WE HIT THE AIR. >> YEAH THERE YOU GO. THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT BOBBY. PAPILLON. IS THAT PAPILLON? >> IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER, BUT IT IS. BOBBY. >> THAT’S JENNA. >> OKAY, HERE WE GO. >> I GO THE CYBORG. >> KAWHI AND THE CLIPPERS IN A GAME SEVEN ON THE ROAD AGAINST THE JOKER AND THE NUGGETS. AND EARLY ON LOOK AT THIS PASS. >> THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE. >> CHRISTIAN BROWN ON THE OTHER END BAM. THIS WAS A GAME FOR A QUARTER. AND JUST A TOUCH OVER THERE. >> YEAH I DON’T I CAN’T BELIEVE THE CLIPPERS JUST GOT BEAT DOWN LIKE THAT I MEAN THAT WAS THAT WAS THAT WAS THIS GAME. THAT WAS RIDICULOUS. WELL WELL WHAT. >> THEY DECIDED TO SAY WE’RE GOING TO LET OTHERS BEAT YOU. THEY LEFT GUYS WIDE OPEN. GREAT HUSTLE PLAY HERE BY RUSSELL WESTBROOK. BUT NBA PLAYERS I DON’T CARE WHO THEY ARE. YOU CANNOT LEAVE WIDE OPEN. >> ESPECIALLY IN GAME SEVEN AT THE CRIB. BUT YOU KNOW THEY DID. OH MAN. LOOK AT IT. >> HOW ABOUT THAT FROM KAWHI. SEE RIGHT NOW IT’S STILL A GAME. IT WAS 3936 AFTER THE THREE POINT PLAY. >> IT WAS A GAME FOR A HALF ERNIE IN FAIRNESS RUSS COME. >> ON IT WAS. BUT THEY STARTED THIS. THEY HAD A BIG SECOND QUARTER I MEAN THEY HAD A 3721. >> THIS IS A LACK OF HUSTLE RIGHT HERE. I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENS ERNIE. YEAH YOU DON’T BOX OUT. WELL BUT IT WAS TWO GUYS UNDER THE BASKET. THEY COULDN’T GET THE REBOUND. >> YEAH THE NUGGETS FINISHED THE HALF 19 TO 11. >> OH STOP THE BALL. >> OH YEAH. AND WE’RE UP BY 11 AT THE BREAK. SO NOW WE GO TO THE THIRD. AND THE CLIPPERS HAD THE FIRST BUCKET. AND THEN THE NUGGETS WENT 18 TO NOTHING ON THEM. >> YEAH THAT WAS UGLY THANK GOD. HEY NATHAN MACKINNON JUST SCORED AGAIN. >> THAT WAS A TOUGH TOUGH THREE. MICHAEL PORTER JUNIOR SHOT THE BALL EXTREMELY WELL TODAY. NO HESITATION I KNEW HE CAME INTO THE LEAGUE. WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD PLAYER. BUT I DIDN’T KNOW HE’D BE SUCH A GREAT SHOOTER. >> HE’S A GREAT SHOOTER KENNY WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BULLY BALL. GIVE ME THAT. JOKER DIDN’T PLAY GREAT TODAY BUT DIDN’T HAVE TO. OH. REVERSE. >> AARON GORDON. 82 TO 54. AT THAT POINT. >> THEY DIDN’T PUT ANY RESISTANCE. COME ON MAN. >> CHRISTIAN BROWN FOR THREE. >> COME ON MAN. >> HE HAD A SERIES HIGH 21. >> ANOTHER ONE WE’RE GOING TO DOUBLE I’M STILL TAKING IT BUT RUSSELL WESTBROOK WAS WIDE OPEN. >> YOU COULD HAVE PASSED THAT BALL. GIVE ME THAT LOOK. >> AT WESTBROOK. >> RUSSELL WESTBROOK WAS TRYING TO GET A TECHNICAL YES. NO. SEE I. >> USED TO BE A CLIPPER. >> WITHOUT QUESTION. NO. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT’S FUNNY ABOUT THAT ERNIE. HE DID IT EARLIER AND TRIED TO GET A TECHNICAL. AND THE REF DIDN’T CALL IT. >> HE DIDN’T HANG ON IT LONG ENOUGH THAT FIRST TIME. >> WELL HE TRIED. THOUGH BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO STICK IT TO THE CLIPPERS. >> YEAH. 120 TO 101 IS YOUR FINAL. BUT IT WASN’T THAT CLOSE. THEY LED BY AS MANY AS 35. IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE NIKOLA JOKIC JOINING US FROM DENVER. AND THERE HE IS A JOKER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING SOME TIME GUYS. LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT HOW THE SEASON ENDED LAST YEAR WHEN YOU GUYS WERE UP 20, IN A GAME SEVEN LOSS TO MINNESOTA IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIS. HOW DID THAT MEMORY PLAY INTO YOUR PREPARATION FOR THIS GAME? >> SEVEN TO BE HONEST, MY PERSONAL IS ZERO BECAUSE I DON’T THINK ABOUT FAILURES. I DON’T THINK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED ONE YEAR AGO. MY WHOLE FOCUS, MY WHOLE ENERGY WAS TODAY, THIS MOMENT, TO BE PRESENT AND TRY TO TRY TO BEAT A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY TALENTED TEAM. >> JOKER SHAQ HERE, YOU’RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR YOUR GUYS WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, DISTRIBUTING THE BALL. BUT TODAY DID YOU COME IN AND SAY, OKAY GUYS IT’S GAME SEVEN. THEY’RE GOING TO DOUBLE ME. I NEED YOU GUYS TO BE READY WHEN I KICK IT OUT. DID YOU HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE GUYS TODAY? >> NO, I THINK I THINK THEY WERE READY AND I THINK, I THINK I THINK ACTUALLY THEY WERE NOT DOUBLING ME THAT MUCH. YOU KNOW, IT WAS A REALLY KIND OF HARSH, KIND OF REALLY HARSH RINK. AND BUT THE GUYS WERE STEPPING UP AND MAKING SHOTS, YOU KNOW, I THINK CB RUSS MIKE HAD A REALLY GOOD, REALLY GOOD IMPACT IN THE GAME. I THINK PEYTON WATSON HAD A REALLY BIG CORNER THREE. SO EVERYBODY WHO PLAYED, EVERYBODY WHO PLAYED KIND OF STEP UP AND GIVE SOMETHING TO THE GAME. >> HEY, YOU KNOW YOUR COACHES KNEW OBVIOUSLY. WHAT IMPACT HAS HE HAD Y’ALL TRYING TO ADJUST TO A DIFFERENT VOICE? >> I DON’T THINK HE’S NEW. HE’S WITH US LIKE LAST FIVE, SIX, SEVEN YEARS. I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER. SO HE WAS ALWAYS WE HEARD HIM. HE WAS ALWAYS VOCAL. HE WAS ALWAYS GIVING US TIPS THAT HE CAN HELP US. AND I THINK RIGHT NOW, LIKE HE’S MORE EMPHASIZING THOSE TIPS AND THOSE LITTLE, LITTLE, LITTLE, LITTLE, LITTLE DETAILS THAT HE WANTS TO AMPLIFY IN OUR GAME. >> YOU KNOW, CONGRATULATIONS FIRSTLY. BUT AS YOU MOVE ON, AS YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE. AND LIKE CHUCK JUST SAID NEW COACH. DO YOU ALSO IT SEEMS I DON’T KNOW FROM AFAR. I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’RE JUST SHOWING MORE. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU’RE MORE VOCAL IN THE TIMEOUTS AND THE HUDDLES AS WELL. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE PUTTING THE EMPHASIS TO? >> I THINK THEY’RE JUST SHOWING MORE. TO BE HONEST. I THINK I WAS, I WAS VOCAL, I WAS TALKING TO THE GUYS AND I ALWAYS SAY IF I SEE SOMETHING AND I THINK THEY CAN, IT CAN HELP TO THE GROUP. I’M GOING TO ALWAYS SAY I’M GOING TO ALWAYS SAY IT. SO I THINK THE MEDIA IS JUST KIND OF BUMPING UP THE STORY A LITTLE BIT. >> WHAT ARE YOUR WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AT THIS POINT? I KNOW YOU’RE CELEBRATING A WIN, BUT GOING UP AGAINST OKC, YOU GUYS WERE TWO TWO. YOU STARTED THE SEASON. YOUR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON WAS AGAINST THE AGAINST THESE GUYS. YOUR INITIAL THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW ABOUT MEETING THEM IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIS? >> I MEAN THEY’RE DEFINITELY VERY, VERY SCARY TEAM ON BOTH ENDS. THEY’RE REALLY PLAYING PUSHING THE PACE. THEY’RE PLAYING. THEY’RE TRYING TO ATTACK YOUR BACK AND LIKE TRYING TO ATTACK YOU IN TRANSITION AND EVERYTHING. WHAT THEY DO IS REALLY, REALLY HARD, REALLY LIKE A FULL, FULL, FULL, FULL SPEED. SO BUT HOPEFULLY, HOPEFULLY WE CAN WE CAN MATCH THEM AND EVEN EXCEED THAT. >> ABSOLUTE LAST THING ON OUR END WOULD BE THIS. WE SAW YOU ON THE SIDELINES. THIS WAS LIKE THE SERBIAN THING WITH DEANDRE JORDAN. IS THIS A WHAT IS THIS? >> AND THE KISSES AND 3′ KISSES. YES. YEAH IT’S A SERBIAN THING. HE WANTS TO BE A SERBIAN. >> SO YOU KNOW. >> THE BLACK BALKAN. >> SO I GOT I GOT TO LET HIM I GOT TO LET HIM HAVE A LITTLE PEACE. >> THREE KISSES. >> IS THAT THE UGLIEST PERSON YOU EVER KISSED IN YOUR LIFE? >> NO, ACTUALLY. >> LEAVE IT ALONE. LEAVE ME ALONE. >> LEAVE IT ALONE. >> OH, YOU’RE THE BEST MAN. WE APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH. THANKS FOR TAKING A LITTLE TIME WITH US, MAN. >> APPRECIATE YOU. OF COURSE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU GUYS. ENJOY. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK. >> YOU KNOW. >> YEAH. THERE WAS. NO SERBIAN COMING FROM SHAQ TONIGHT. WHAT THE HECK. >> YEAH. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO START OUT WITH KOKUSAI. BUT I’LL TELL YOU SOMETHING. >> ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE, STEPHEN COLBERT. WHAT A GOOD DUDE. HEY. >> YOU DIDN’T COME OUT WITH IT. >> SO WHAT WERE YOU SAYING? >> YOU SPEAK SERBIAN? DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CLIPPERS? >> LITTLE CROATIA? >> YEAH. THIRD STRAIGHT FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF EXIT FOR THE CLIPS. SAME THING. >> DAMN. I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE ME AN OPTION FOR $36 MILLION. I COULDN’T GET TO THE PEN FAST ENOUGH. BUT WHAT? 6′ 36 POINTS. HIS OPTIONS. HIS OPTION WAS TO GET TO THE PEN OR NOT. YEAH. >> HEY, OPTION. HOW DID THIS GAME TURN THAT QUICKLY AND GET SO OUT OF HAND SO FAST? >> WELL, THE ONLY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY PUT UP ANY RESISTANCE WAS KAWHI LEONARD. HE ACTUALLY HAD A GOOD FIRST HALF. NOBODY ELSE JOINED THE PARTY. NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THEIR TEAM COMPETED. I MEAN, KAWHI WAS ACTUALLY TRYING AND TRYING AND THEN ONCE DENVER GOT ROLLING, I THINK THEY KIND OF PACKED IT IN. WELL. >> I THOUGHT ALSO THAT SOME OF THE GAME PLAN DID NOT WORK. HUSTLE PLAYS FIRST. WE SHOWED THAT IN THE FIRST HALF. >> THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S COMPETING. >> THAT’S 5050 BALLS. LIKE IT’S A LOOSE BALL. WHO’S GOING TO GET IT? DENVER WON ALL THOSE. BUT SECONDARILY, I THOUGHT THE GAME PLAN DIDN’T WORK. MEANING LIKE WE’RE GOING TO LET BRAUN AND WE’RE GOING TO LET WESTBROOK AT TIMES SHOOT OPEN JUMP SHOTS. AND THOSE GUYS KNOCK DOWN SHOTS AT TIMELY TIMES. WHEN THERE WERE EIGHT POINT LEADS, THEY PUSHED IT TO 1111 POINT LEADS. THEY PUSHED IT TO 14. SO THOSE TIMELY WIDE OPEN SHOTS SAYING WE’RE GOING TO FORCE THOSE GUYS TO MAKE SHOTS THEY DID TONIGHT. >> THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, ERNIE. THE DENVER NUGGETS PLAYED A PERFECT GAME. WHAT WHAT ALL PLAYERS DO AFTER THE GAME IS THEY GO LOOK AT THE STAT SHEET. BEAUTIFUL STAT SHEET. 15 22, 16, 21, 1616 NINE. THEY PLAYED A PERFECT GAME. THEIR BEST PLAYERS WERE NOT THE LEADING SCORERS DIDN’T HAVE GREAT GAMES, BUT EVERYBODY CHIPPED IN AND THE CROWD WAS ENGAGED. THEY GOT OFF TO THAT LITTLE RUN. THEY WERE HAPPY, THEY WERE DUNKING, THEY WERE GETTING TECHNICAL FOULS AND THEY PLAYED THE PERFECT GAME FOR A GAME. >> SEVEN AND 52% SHOOTING DOESN’T HURT. THIRD STRAIGHT GAME. THE NUGGETS HAVE SHOT AT LEAST 50%, AND THEY MOVE ON TO TAKE ON THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIS. CHUCK SAID THAT KISS JOKIC GAVE. >> THAT’S DEFINITELY THE UGLIEST PERSON I’VE EVER KISSED. CHUCK I KNOW IT AIN’T CHUCK. I’VE SEEN YOU. AN UGLY PERSON I EVER KISSED WAS CHARLES BARKLEY. NO IT AIN’T CHUCK. >> YOU’LL HEAR FROM TYRONN LUE ON THE NIGHT I. >> THINK. >>HA TT WAS THE FIRST. >> ONE RIGHT THERE ERNIE. YEAH H
