Jeff Teague REACTS to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s foul baiting in Thunder-Timberwolves | Club 520

Thunder took care of the Wolves yesterday 114 to 88. Uhhuh. Uh it was a rocky start. You know what it is though? They had the plan with SGA. They just foul them too much. Yeah. Like some of them shits ain’t fouls. Yeah, they not. But like couple of them J McDaniels got a and y’all know that’s my second favorite player in the league. He got to like quit reaching. He always put his hand in there. He’s super aggressive and shape play like James Harden. soon as you put your hands on him, he gonna throw his arms in the air and it’s a foul. It’s really a foul, but he just got to use his lymph paws and just keep his hands out the cookie jar, man. Yeah, yesterday was definitely a tell two half. Like you said, um for the first half, you thought that Minnesota had a game plan that was going to be successful. Uh and when that third quarter hit, it got real spooky, but SGA showed up yesterday 319 and five. Jaylen Williams 1985 and five, five steals. He was getting aggressive yesterday. Jr. had 28 and 8 and AE had 18 down and three. That ain’t going to cut it. That ain’t going to cut it. Not enough. That and Jan most of that in the first half. Yeah, true. I don’t think that will cut it, but everybody so far as a role player shot horrible yesterday. I take Deven Chenzo, bro. He got to make a shot, bro. I told you. Hey, boy. Making us look bad, boy. You going to take that damn zero off T. Hey, man. For real. He got zero outside the table to say you know I love you brother. You my dog for life but boy get that zero. Clean it up now. He got hit a shot. But all they role players played terrible though y’all for real. It wasn’t even the role players. Everybody played terrible yesterday. Everybody was shooting yesterday. I feel like if everybody played good so far as the role players and had 18 and n they could have probably made some shake. Yeah. Nikio Alexander Walker didn’t shoot the ball. Nobody shot the ball well for that. said, “Let’s just go through the list of this of two percentages yesterday.” Uh Jay McDaniels three for five. Cool. He couldn’t play. He was in foul trouble. Yeah, cuz Yeah, kept hacking. And also, like I said, we’ll talk about this SJA foul shortly. He going to be in foul trouble this whole series, bro. Julius Randle nine for 13. All right, cool. He hit all threes, though. Yeah, that ain’t for that ain’t the aggressiveness I need from first quarter. Like, he hit four threes in the first quarter. Buckets y’all be talking about that’s legit. Well, see, I can’t say that because they has been Julius Randle been killing the first half and then a clean up in the second. Yeah, he post. So, I can’t be mad at him for setting the tone. Yeah, that’s cool. But I’m saying I think if they role players would have played good, bro. It been a different game. He got us 28. AE would have got us 30, we probably been. Yeah, it’s a different story. But the way Julius Randle got his 28, like we know that he’s a he’s like a bull in a china shop, bro. He attacks the rim. He’s physical. Yeah. Him shooting threes. Nothing wrong with that. If he making them, he making them. But he need to put pressure on Cadet and all these dudes to get him in foul trouble. But I told y’all that Caruso, that damn Caruso. Yeah, he didn’t figure out and he know how to heard. That was crazy. I said this Caruso, he the most valuable player on the team. Can we go back to the Timberwolves, please? Yeah, their shooting percentages are awful. Um, you look at AJ 5 for 13. Nasty work. Mike Connley two for eight. Come on, Naptown. We got to have more of that. Chad was comfortable with Julius Randle Garden. He was looked real comfortable. Chad looked real comfortable. Yeah. So Chad looked real comfortable. I thought I agree with you, too. I was like, damn. Jewish Randles is strong, but seeing Chad going against him, I’m like, “Oh, he think sweet.” But what the Jeff saying, he ain’t making him play no defense, bro. He let him off the hook, bro. Beat him up a little bit, then make him come down play offense. Yeah, most definitely. Nas Reed one for 11. That’s never going to cut it. Uh, Dante 3 for 14. Nasty work. Mhm. He killed Walk Alexander three for 11. You’re not going to be nobody shooting like that. Yeah, that’s dead. And there was at one point at the beginning of the game they dro Rudy a dime and he dropped that so bad that they sub to Nazi and he came in immediately missed a shot. I like say it was going to be a long night for the Timberwolves. Yeah, I think they they going to shake back though. N they going to shake back. They not going to shoot this bad. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I don’t think they going to shoot bad. But I just don’t I don’t know. I can’t take away from OKC defense, bro. Nah. Yeah, they locking They was They was locking up. So, I wanted to ask both of y’all about this. How did y’all feel? I saw um the game master starting off. You had Card Ae. Yeah, but they just switching. That That wasn’t a real That ain’t a real thing. Okay. They just switching. I don’t like that though. He said, “Yo, like that.” No, he’s not got him. No, that’s just He’s going to score 40 on him if that’s They probably just He probably picked him up in transition or they just was switching. That’s Lou Dort. Yeah, that’s it. That’s his assignment. Him and Caruso. OKC dude got a good ass defense, bro. Lord is built like Ryan Artes, bro. Caruso being able to go all these big people is crazy. He guard Julius Randle, bro. That’s crazy. With no help. Nah. How they play all they play well together. I think they probably had four people in double figures. They play a team game. SGA struggle. That’s what I mean. If Ant is struggling. Yeah. The role players should fill in like OKC. Yeah. Cuz SGA was struggling at first, bro. Yeah. He start first half. At one point he was two for 12. I’m saying text. He saying he sent a text that they was on their way to losing like I told y’all about SCA. They were on their way to the moment though when something cuss me out my DM say yeah ass like damn I wanted to shout you out but you was a hoe a but you a hoe n but I was watching I said this he called this but he just I don’t know he just turned it around bro he really a dog because he don’t stop bro he don’t stop he keep attacking yeah he’ll shoot 30 times and don’t yeah he don’t care He was going to the cup yesterday, but I’m just saying he don’t stop attacking. So, if he miss a couple, that’s not going to waver his confidence at all. No, not at all. I want to ask y’all, um, there’s been a lot of questions about SJ being a foul merchant. How do y’all feel about that? Is he doing what he’s supposed to do or is it a little too extra? Playing within the rules, bro. It’s part of the game. If you can do it, do it. He good. He the best at it. So, If other people do it, they’ll do it. Jaylen, do that too. But I’m saying so many more people that have done Trey Young do that. They took it out the game with Trey Young, though. They they made they hated Trey Young so much that they took it out the game for him. Yeah. But they kept it in for SGA just because the way Trey Young like y’all understand I’ve learned through the NBA Trey Young get a lot of text. Yeah. Okay. Like Trey Young will cuss the ref out fake you know you see him get ejected fake spin the ball to the ref. He talk to him. And um SGA don’t do that. You know what I mean though? We doing the same thing. They don’t like me. But it’s the way you treat me. You know, it’s a how you treat, you know, you treat your leg. You know what I’m saying? You’re right, bro. You right. I didn’t know that was a thing. They still human. Trey Young used to do that the worst, bro. He used to be getting all kind of fs. I mean, I know that, but I’m talking about how Jeff saying his attitude. They don’t with him. They don’t the league don’t with Trey Young. It’s cuz the like and he is a cold basketball player, but it’s just the way he respond to the refs. Yeah. It’s like James Harden, he always talk cool to the refs. Yeah. I don’t ever You rarely see James Harden get attacked. Yeah. But the ones that talk bad to the refs that do the same you be like, “Damn, he going to the basket. He don’t get no calls.” I called it with Fred Van Fleet. Boom. Oh yeah. Got w in the playoffs. They were getting fresh You got to treat them boys right. You tell them, “Hey man, you missed that one. But it’s all good. I know man, you got the hardest job in the league, bro. I ain’t complaining, but check me out, bro. They they following me, bro.” Yeah. And in the league, you know them rush for years. You got a relationship with them, bro. For sure. Act like they refing you for the weekend. Yeah. This is not AU. They are holding precious. You got a 15 year career that ref been repping for 28 years, boy. What adjustments names all that bro? Yeah. What adjustments are y’all making for next game? If y’all I mean, flat out make shots, bro. He got to give us more. I mean, I know he had his little ankle but you got to give us more. And Julius Randle, get to the rim. Get in the post. Attack the rim. Uh, for me, I’m gonna have to see if uh Lou Dorton, Jaylen Williams going to make shots, right? So, I’mma load up a little more on SJ. Obviously, he’s driving the ball like a mad man. Every single time he was driving it, driving it, driving it, trying to create I’m going to make him see more bodies, you know, and I probably ain’t going to start Jaylen uh Jay McDaniels on him, even though that he’s a great defender. I’mma let him be a help defender. Oh, and I need you to guard him at the end. Yeah, I’mma let him be a help defender. And I’m probably going to put Mike on him cuz Mike can guard, right? That’s I see it. That’s cool because even if he torch Mike, he’s going to torch anyway, bro. So, let him cook. See if Jayen Williams I don’t think Jaylen Williams can knock down like like that. I don’t think he didn’t air ball a bunch of threes. He be like second half. But he a little shaky in that first half. Jayen Williams hit a three and air ball like but to y’all point I much rather you beat us and we just keep letting SGA get to his spot cuz there was points especially after our quarter where he got to the free throw line. bump, get off me, fade away. And I’m saying like they got so many long defenders. I mean, Jaden McDaniels being the primary defender. SGA kind of figured him out like I’mma bump him. He get his hands close. He play he handsy defender. I’mma get him in foul trouble. I’mma keep attacking him. Mike is a what you call a balanced defender. Like he gonna stay right in front of you. He going to make you shoot over him, which SGA probably going to shoot over him. But when you got help defenders like AE and Jay McDaniels that can come and contest like a second contest and stuff like that and he might have to kick it to Caruso. I don’t think Caruso can hit 10 threes. He might. I don’t know if Jaylen Williams or Lord take your chances with Lord. I will take them. I’d rather lose to y’all than him. I will take them. It’s just y night if y if y’all hit this. Yeah. It’s a regular night if he do. Yeah. who know hitting five six threes is I’m not saying he can’t say they can’t but but the difference is between like they looking at how Jay McDaniels guarded Luca against Shay that’s a different they both get fouls but Luca more of a physical like boom boom and he was using his quickness to stay in front of him well Shay just as quick just as fast handle just as tight just a little bit more crafty all the time Luca not playing that fast Luka shooting step backs can contest like he is downhill all the time. Yeah. There’s at one point I remember SGA caught him on the left hash and bumped him got the foul cuz he pushed off sold it and hit the f I’m like yeah Luka you could have pushed back and got in there move that fast got to bump you then he going to side step and his arms long enough he was quick enough to get back even though Luca still was killing it was just looking a little tougher SGA boy he moving just as fast as

Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen react to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Game 1 beatdown over Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves to start the Western Conference Finals. Jeff and the guys debate whether SGA seeks a foul too much, and is too worried about getting to the free throw line instead of running an offense.
