Chuck Thinks Game 4 of the WCF is a Must-Win for the Wolves 👀 | NBA on TNT

CAR BUYING SHOULD BE. >> I’M GOING BACK TO INDIANA. INDIANA WHERE I’M FROM. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS HERE I COME, NOT WHERE I’M FROM. I DON’T KNOW MAYBE I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW. CAN YOU GET THAT HIGH, CHUCK. NO MY BOYS DON’T. YOU KNOW I DO. FRANK SINATRA. I MEAN, CAN YOURS. NO, I CAN’T. >> I CAN’T. >> HEY, SO WE’RE WATCHING THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL LAST NIGHT AND OKC JUMPS OUT TO A FOUR NOTHING LEAD. AND THE MINNESOTA GOES 25 TO 5. AND IT WAS BASICALLY OVER. THEY WIN IT 143 TO 101. HERE IS JARED GREENBERG WITH THE GRISLY DETAILS. >> IT’S NOT OFTEN WHEN WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE BEST TEAM IN BASKETBALL, HAVING TO BOUNCE BACK FROM A 42 POINT BEATDOWN, BUT FOR A TEAM THAT HAS NOT LOST BACK TO BACK GAMES THIS POSTSEASON, THE THUNDER ARE CONFIDENT IN THEIR PROCESS AS THEY HEAD INTO GAME FOUR. >> YOU’RE GOING TO TASTE YOUR OWN BLOOD SOMETIMES, AND IT’S NOT EVEN THE WORST THING FOR YOU. AND WE’VE BEEN WE’VE HAD A GREAT YEAR. WE HAVEN’T HAD A LOT OF GAMES LIKE THAT, BUT THE TEAM’S ALWAYS DONE A GREAT JOB OF RESPONDING TO THE EMOTION OF ANY GAME, INCLUDING WINS. LET IT GO AND BE THE BEST TEAM WE COULD BE AND THROW OUR BEST PUNCH AND GAME FOR. >> I MEAN, IF ANYTHING, IT JUST HURTS YOUR PRIDE A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, THEY ALL COUNT FOR ONE. BUT, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY JUST AS COMPETITORS LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU DON’T WANT TO LOSE GAMES, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THAT FASHION, IT’S NOT A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE TIMBERWOLVES. I THINK THEY WERE PLAYING FOR THEIR LIVES AND WE DIDN’T COME OUT WITH THE RIGHT MINDSET. THINGS THAT WE CAN CONTROL, WE DIDN’T CONTROL LAST GAME. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THROUGH THAT LENS, IT PRESENTS ITSELF IN A WAY THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO HIT AN EMERGENCY BUTTON, BUT YOU DO NEED TO COURSE CORRECT AND GET BACK TO WHO YOU ARE. >> SHAQ. DRAWING FROM YOUR VAST EXPERIENCE, HOW DID GAMES LIKE THAT HAPPEN? A 42 POINT GAME IN THE IN THE POSTSEASON, YOU GET COMFORTABLE. YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE OKC BUNCH IS NOTHING REALLY MESSES WITH THEIR MENTORS. THEY THEY LOOK A LITTLE REALLY HAPPY OUT THERE AT THE GAME TOO. AND THEY SHOULD THEY’RE PLAYING WELL MVP CELEBRATION, ALL THAT STUFF. BUT YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WHEN YOU COME IN AND YOU REALLY THINK, OH WE GOT THIS TEAM AND YOU DON’T REALLY FOCUS AND YOU DON’T TAKE THAT FIRST PUNCH. THAT EARNING THAT FIRST PUNCH WAS A KNOCKOUT. AND THEY WENT TO THE HOSPITAL. AND THEY’RE JUST NOT WAKING UP THIS MORNING. WELL, YOU KNOW, ERNIE, THERE COMES A POINT IN EVERY GAME WHERE YOU’RE IF YOU’RE IF YOU’RE ON THE OTHER END AND YOU’RE DOWN, LET’S SAY 10 OR 11 AND YOU SAY, OKAY, WE’RE GOING TO WE’RE GOING TO FIGHT, WE’VE GOT TO GET BACK IN THIS GAME AND WE’RE GOING TO FIGHT. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU GO TO 19, SO YOU GO, OKAY, ALL WEEK THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH. ARE WE GOING TO GO FOR IT AND SPEND ALL OF THIS ENERGY, OR ARE WE GOING TO KNOW THAT WE’RE UP TWO ONE? AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS. AND THEY REALIZED THEY WERE LIKE, WE’RE NOT GOING. WHEN THEY GOT TO 19. THEY’RE LIKE, OKAY. THEY THEY THEY PULLED OFF THE GAS AND THEY’RE LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS IT. AND NOW IT GOES TO 42 BECAUSE MINNESOTA IS LIKE, NO, WE’RE GOING TO GO WIN THIS GAME. AND SO THAT WAS THAT WAS IT. IT WAS THAT’S A HUMAN NATURE THING GAME I ALWAYS SAY GAME THREE AND FOUR IS WHERE THE STARS ARE MADE. THAT’S WHERE THEY ARE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE PIVOTAL GAMES IN MOST OF THE TIME IN THIS SERIES. YEAH. YOU COULD ALMOST FELT IT. LOOK, LOOK, THERE ARE 35IN THE SECOND QUARTER WHEN THEY CUT IT. AND DON’T LAUGH WHEN THEY CUT IT TO 22. IN THE THIRD QUARTER, YOU HAD MADE UP SOME GROUND AND YOU SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? IF HE GOT A COUPLE OF STOPS AND GET THIS UNDER 20, IT MIGHT, BUT NEVER HAPPENED. WELL, OBVIOUSLY MINNESOTA HAD TO PLAY WITH DESPERATION. THEY DID AND THEY GOT IT. THEY MADE A LITTLE RUN IN THE SECOND HALF. LIKE YOU SAID. IT GIVES YOU 22. THEN THEY’RE LIKE OKAY LET’S JUST GO. LET’S GO GET READY FOR THE NEXT GAME. BUT ALL THE PRESSURE IS STILL ON MINNESOTA. TOMORROW IS A MUST WIN FOR MINNESOTA. IT’S NOT A MUST WIN FOR OKC. ALL MINNESOTA DID WAS GET KIND OF BACK IN THE SERIES. BUT THEY EXTENDED IT. THEY EXTENDED IT. SO NOW THEY HAVE TO WIN TOMORROW. BUT YOU KNOW OKC DOES NOT HAVE TO WIN IN MINNESOTA. THEY CAN MAKE IT A SHORTER SERIES. BUT EVEN THOUGH MINNESOTA AND THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER YOU WIN BY 1 OR 40 IT DON’T MATTER. IT’S JUST ONE GAME. ALL THE PRESSURE TOMORROW IS STILL ON THE TIMBERWOLVES BECAUSE IF THEY DON’T WIN TOMORROW, THEY’LL BE DONE. GAME FIVE GOING TO OKC FOR A FOR A GAME FIVE IN THAT SERIES. MEANTIME, EARLIER IN THIS SERIES I GUESS IT WAS WAS IT FRIDAY NIGHT IN NEW YORK WHERE WE HAD DRAYMOND WITH US AND YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MINNESOTA’S NICKEIL ALEXANDER-WALKER. BUT YOU WERE HAVING A BIT OF DIFFICULTY A LOT OF WITH THE WITH THE PRONUNCIATION SHADES, COUSIN MICHAEL ANDERSON OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS. ALEXANDER. ALEXANDER. I MEAN, IT’S ALL HANDS ON DECK, MAN. IT’S ALL HANDS ON DECK AGAINST OKC. YEAH. WHAT DO YOU SAY. HE WAS JUST WHAT’S HIS NAME. HE WAS LAUGHING ALEXANDER AT YOUR TEMPLE. WHAT IS IT. HEY MAN. IS IT. WHAT IS IT? NIKHIL! NIKHIL! ALEXANDER. NIKHIL. IS IT REAL NAME? NIKHIL? YEAH. NO, IT’S FAKE NAMES. NIKHIL. ROY. SOMEBODY JUST MADE UP SOME STUFF AGAIN. NIKHIL IS NOT A NAME. >> I THOUGHT LIKE IN MEDIA. YOU KNOW THEY GIVE THEM THAT THE YOU KNOW IN DICTIONARIES HOW THEY HAVE LIKE THAT PRONUNCIATION THING. MAYBE HE’S NOT READING IT, I DON’T KNOW, BUT YEAH. MY NAME IS NICKEIL ALEXANDER-WALKER. >> THE PHONETIC SPELLING. GOT ANOTHER BROTHER NAMED DIAMOND QUARTER. HIS FRENCH BROTHER, HE’S FRENCH, HE NOT FRENCH, AND HE’S NOT FRENCH CANADIAN. ALEXANDER NOT ANDERSON. I’M JUST SAYING THAT YOU HAD THE NAME. NICOLE IS NOT A NAME. THAT’S. MY NAME IS KELLY. DADDY NAMED NICK. I LIKE NICKEIL ALEXANDER-WALKER. GREAT PLAYER, GREAT YOUNG PLAYER. THANKS FOR WATCHING US TONIGHT. I APPRECIATE YOU, BROTHER. GOOD LUCK TODAY A NIGHT OFF. GOOD LUCK TOMORROW. WE GOT SOME. WE GOT SOME CHUCKS SINGING. OH YOU CAN HIT THE HIGH NOTES. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS I HATE Y’ALL, MAN. THAT WASN’T SINGING THAT JUST. OH NO THAT WAS THAT WAS JUST A HIGH. WE WERE DOING SOME WITH THE 6′. FOR THE THING. YOU HAD A LIST. YOU USED TO HAVE A LIST. HOW’D YOU GET RID OF YOUR LIST? I MEAN, THERE’S SPEECH COACHES. YOU MIGHT HAVE A SPEECH COACH. YOU USED TO TALK LIKE THIS. USED TO TALK. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID. KENNY, YOU SOUND GREAT NOW. THANK YOU. KENNY. ERNIE, WE SHOULD DO THE WHOLE TALKING LIKE THIS AT THE HIGH TALK. YEAH. THAT’S OKAY. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU’RE YOU’RE GOING TOO THAT. I TAKE THE DAY OFF. WE’LL COME BACK WITH MORE. WE’LL BE BACK. WE’LL BE BACK FROM INDIANAPOLIS. OH, YOU’RE GOING TO BE LIKE THAT IN A FEW WEEKS. THAT WAS FLY RIGHT. THAT WAS IN GQ, Y’ALL. I KNOW Y’ALL KNOW WHAT THA
