Scary that's funny.
All good for the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight a win away from the NBA Finals will have all the highlights and the dump King finale.
After inside the NBA presented by Tia keep it right here we'll be right back to okc just a bit yeah.
For the first time this season the Golden State Warriors have lost back-to-back games and they are on the brink of elimination against the oklahoma city thunder.
Here in okc tonight $YEAR 11 18 294 and lead the series 3 games to one a chance to close it out in Game five in open on thursday we welcome you inside the NBA presented by Kia Ernie Johnson Shaquille O'Neal Kenny the jet Smith and Charles Barkley will have the highlights in just a second a reminder the finale of the dunk king with a hundred thousand clams on the line comes your way after inside the NBA stick around after the show here's the way this one when Trayvon greenwood play even after kicking Steven Adams and making me miss Anthony and that the permanent America step Korean Russell Westbrook great start for OKC Iran hits the fadeaway now this is christy the pressure that Russell Westbrook in conference tonight was spectacular.
I think the one thing that go to the state is really going to have to look at don't step curry got him around the city you've got the wrong person I think I'm times he's just getting worn out yeah another turnover by Golden State there they had seven in the first quarter i'll finish that President lead is 14 22 28 you think goes they will come out a lot more energy may be increasing it feels like my energy.
Hey listen we always talk with other team that ok he got energy to get dollar 43 this was just like team three big early lead and then that stuff and state gets back here yet look at Steven Adams with the second time but festive sincerely makes it a four-point game look at hangar 12 every decision that restaurant is me.
Offensively all right off . just like that pass by stephen and Andre Roberson right-wingers wanted more to me again I don't know about that show about getting a think they wanted to know they didn't want it more than just got being day they were better than what I don't know if it was lack of effort tonight I thought it was just like they could not go home Scott it's got that little effort they're gonna stop that shot right there and just like I'm certainly willing to win more talking money for 211 way top two in the hand best to guard in the world with on fire yeah 19 . third-quarter not just 19 points 19 straight Golden State forward at this park and what God doing a house on fire didn't need to get the children out because you have a fireman in the building a Russell Westbrook and he put the fire out.
Look at this they alter within six is two or three about enough of giessen you know that that's incredible.
I've never seen another like him turn out i was writing a paper 30 years he's the most explosive flare I understand that position he had multiple like this rose around here not like this happened in Rosewood incredible before you got hurt but this guy's on another planet man there's a 12-point lead going into the fourth quarter any at two knee surgeries another good thing slowed and bound up and Golden State scored 12 points in the fourth quarter outscore 24 to 12 giving it to get up to Robert some too but just moving without the ball making yourself available there Andre Roberson 17 points and 12 rebounds and they are ecstatic in Oklahoma City.
And you saw the look on the Golden State bench the champs down three games to one is Oklahoma City wins at 118 294 run a night for Russell Westbrook 36 points 11 rebounds 11 assists guy who met the NBA with 18 triple-doubles in the regular season.
It's his first triple-double of these playoffs joining draymond Green LeBron James in that category here steve / after the game.
No idea i thought we competed tonight but we didn't play very intelligently you know we way too many turnovers careless passes you know this this is the probably the longest team in the league they were facing and we are continuing to try to throw passes over the top of their outstretched arms probably not a great idea so 21 turnovers many of them unforced and then of course you know they're they're taking care of business on the boards and you know we're forcing stops were getting stops but we're not going and getting the ball then we have to be able to chase down loose balls and long rebounds and otherwise they're getting just way too many possessions compared to us coach Michael Kenya they had an overwhelming advantage on the free-throw line was that just them being more aggressive or just your defense is playing a little bit more with hands fe we did commit some silly fouls tonight but also they were very aggressive and that advantage of the free to call or okc throw down a 90-mile scoring at the strike this party continued facts.
Russell Westbrook's night first against the defending champion first triple-double a triple-double against the defending champions chucked it at 93 but that's not good with all the Robinson LeBron James out good with me i could set a 30-10 in 10 games off the problem with my command for you only did it once and as far as the rebounds go as steeper mention it was 56 240 this time around but the night belongs to me the loss of Westbrook me is available to get into the party i'm not i'm not going to say they do you think about it they could not let steph curry got another chance.
Let's just keep it a hundred yeah there's no way it should be got him.
I think it takes too much away from him offensively you can put them on represent Robinson and you can have a different feel for the game he doesn't have to God him and think about them as much to have him on that guy is just too much question coming and Chuck are you guys and aspiring coaches didn't want to be a hold on.
Anywhere you to come to think about matchups home something against these guys because you're right you can stay in front of me just the world at the ranch do too well right Westbrook shoots are too well and then they can pound on the board because you can't really rebound that well in the NBA in his own against its own into college you can but in the NBA is very difficult because of the size all around but I just feel Steph Curry cannot stay I don't care.
Long stints on West Russell Westbrook let him be who he is offensively and ok he's a better offensive player in a d4 player and that is the most explosive basketball player at that position.
Why would you want him to go you can't go out he's too little he's just too little and it seems like it's wearing down another and also he can't make a shot so Stevie going to like the idea to the regular season play is going to have to go out to point guard and you can let him roam against rover soon but there's no way stuff is great option suppliers he can't he can't play office and defense because he has to play well for Golden State to win teams down 3149 and 223 in series one of those nine was your team against his team do you see in this Golden State team what it takes to win three straight and win the series.
Well you could always say you know you cannot us to make the heart of a champion obviously great call by rudy tomjanovich but the one advantage that they do have is the two out of three games would be a golden state and that's the same thing we had so we were talking about in the back with Charles if you win Game five.
What you should you should go home and win the pressure of winning Game six really is more on Oklahoma City even more the pressure of it because you you put so much into one game being away to the NBA Finals you lose that game it's tough to get back up for James seven it's a game not unlike tonight if Golden State goes home and wins Game five then you come back here no but I know but you also talked about the fact that that Oklahoma City add to what we got donuts and you have to win this game but they have to win the game but picking back up kids . i think that's when I knew when we had we were up 31 I said okay you got a free game not really free games like all the pressures on go to state now but then when you come up against it you don't we are good all the pressure in the world is on your leg but they want two in a row the momentum of on their team but what I told Kenny was and we're telling us it's gonna be easier for Oklahoma City win the next game then it would be good god is going to be autonomous pressure on Golden State because they don't they they got to play a really good game or their fishing just to get it back here so the next game is our it's gonna be huge obviously it's gonna be a great game we're gonna play well at home but I'm color wondering what this does to a team hasn't lost two games and roll your body still together on the argument locker room where that mental state gonna be out there going to be fine at home and you know again they're one-two punch has to outplay okc . not going to shoot the ball well we gotta play with they don't do that but you know I will Monica opportunity will go home you think about you gear in that locker room and you go there's no way we can lose two games at home.
We've already lost one at home so it's actually I think so your confidence is superhot go home you're just worried about Game six of your Golden State that's what they have taking inaccurate but no you think you're getting five we like when we were there we like we can win that but Game six is what they're thinking about and that but is that accurate thinking possibly not you may have seen Mickey Marshall our stage manager walk into the shot there was a good reason for they told it to I know Justice League Energy Arena the the folks here have have made these for closer uniform family and their earnings and not every shape and very tasty at that what you're looking for you right now proceeded to like you know I'm right now man would like the man over it would like what he's passing out cupcakes but alright know you were you making capacity don't certain tomorrow decreases will give us give us some of cupcakes wrong but just about surviving cakes here.
We're gonna get him out and we go get him out because they want to seem Kristen.

Download it now and get an all-access look into all things playoffs about this all things playoffs Eastern Conference Finals tied up at two games apiece going back to Cleveland for Game five on know on wednesday night I don't know if anybody thought that at this point that series would be closer than this series this one stands 31 Oklahoma City the other 22 with more on the eastern conference finals are man Jared Greenberg you remember the classic tale of the Sharks vs the Guppies don't you once upon a time will really last week sir charles barkley channeled his inner marine biologist but now shockingly we've got some questions about the story starting with the cavs 113 million dollar power forward who hasn't been finishing games of late.
Kevin Love shooting under twenty two percent in back-to-back Cleveland losses but a sore knee is not to blame a lot of a lot of great shots see knocking down simple as that.
A lot of confidence and shooting the ball a lot of really great wide-open threes especially start that first quarter just you know number of women out so you know it's either continue to stay aggressive i don't think i've been at the foul line both came so that's something I just need to keep telling myself and feel good.
We just missed shots i missed part again I mean you know he's been playing great all play also up at some point you got missing shots but that's not my main concern that we've got to be better defensively and we're going to make shots you talking about not playing in the fourth quarter of the last two games that talk to him now we're just you know just he understood that channel is playing well and I just decided to drive a chance because his plan so so good at the time and I can understand that.
Coach Lou also says he has not talked to his team about the possibility of facing Jonas Valanciunas on Wednesday night the Raptors big man did not play monday however he was active and available for the first time this series coach Lou might be taking a bit different approach here saying he won't include Valentinus into the scouting report until after he takes the court now in terms of Valanciunas his role he told me that he's cool coming off the bench his back Diablo has been playing so great he wants biz to continue to start covering what is now a best-of-three Eastern Conference Finals I'm Jared Greenberg all right Thank You Jared so Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan gets done in game for the Raptors tie the series at two games apiece.
Hey Shaq has as Toronto stolen a little bit of mojo from the cab's here i want to install the Mojo you know cauliflower definitely has his confidence back is playing well and you know when you when you have a team and you want to advance everyone have to play well especially your superstars and careful of is not really stepping up right.
He's not really playing with this guy right you know we were riding merrily just stuck it out he's getting his confidence back he's getting to a sweet spot he's making those little shot right there he's feeling at home guys love to go home and play your comfortable at home you don't get to eat your food you get to drive your route know the fans support you and love you can make mistake is to ensure you on this guy has his confidence back.
Cleveland has to take his conference away and do with that both bill and the superstars have to step up and play well especially 230 million dollar man you see solo second mount I find out is fascinated watching all these idiots on TV I'll be what everybody brain blame everything on capitalism going to stop and hold you got your superstars time to get my point out that's a cabinet member lizzyletloose you gotta look at Kevin looking for some you gotta stop cabinetry missed some shots or mr. i won its first but i think the cavs are further along with the three-point shot more than anything but why does Kevin Love get the blame for Kyrie Irving another point guard getting lit up with 67 nobody ever thinks we're capable of can't play defense he didn't guard DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry give up 67 . not a jump drive me crazy when everybody blames everything on camera in love I told you question so many threes you fell in love with threes against it now to go back down and the post y'all were too i think 34 28 at halftime know the matter got a big hole they don't really look great when they go in they look great flood waters when they go in but it bothers me how all these people on television they playing every single thing like a limitation on the best thing probably what happened to Toronto to be honest with Valanciunas get hurt because beyond has been gorgeous because he can master Justin Thompson energy right you know battle Judas is not going to be the math Tristan Thompson who hasn't played in the forecourt 22 seconds but nobody says anything about him but somebody thereby want to blame everything on camera love and JR smith shopper they can't give up six or seven points and then say Kevin Love in play different ups let's move on going jet walk I just want to shout out my case because there was a time when everyone said star Cory Joseph you know he's stuck with his guy he's stuck with the guy who got him there he understood and it's still two more confidence inside of him because i always say coaches can take they can't give you confidence but they definitely could take it away from and he did not take it away from calorie he gave him the opportunity to come back and shine the difference in the series to me is the ability to make outside shots Cleveland they really at times were able to get especially against Atlanta at times and especially its early and if they were going to generate 41-percent for a 2-yard line of 51 pretty exactly I'm a felon no that's what I'm saying it now 33 productive relationship perimeter is just as important and they were they didn't have to defend it if the perimeter into these laughter and I did not come alone don't you didn't break yeah we didn't get the second hold on this one over here is one other story want to talk about before we go to break in this won't take long bismarck beyond oh you know he's been waving the finger city he got the permission from Dikembe Mutombo but apparently as Mutombo told TMZ that's that's not the case why don't you in your best Mutombo voice mommy or Uncle Chuck stir that top paragraph where has it has his quote on my god palazzo home and saw this is what you can so i don't know what we had that conversation took place him and I need to talk to summer where you got this.
That's just the words solo I don't know what the conversation to place me in beyond ball I don't even know his name he did that so now you're making making me know he's just doing things in tournament is the greatest blocker ever in Tristan Thompson is one of the hardest working players in the NBA piombo is working just as hard and it's made Tristan Thompson ineffective I get all my suitemate like a 1d case thank you so much for two layers going to the break.
Go ahead and.
All your break now and then we'll come back if I was very good at I would block that shot no way he could snap shut off the top of the mountain shot you could God you could score like you're okay good job guys waiting on the ball up the energy ATP energy the energy on defense is great we got a community switches and keep rebounding the ball house when we gotta settle and execute execute like crazy.
Rebound down here about five there's plenty of time stops and rebound stop defense right now and rebounding our stamina up letting our salmon a whore well or determination I called Kevin supposed to be hard to just talk about or describe just the mentality and attitude russell westbrook has been playing with in this playoffs what's been that the.
Overwhelming factor that you've seen him play with Russell uh you know just displays with incredible passion you know he's he's uh he's got such great force and great will and he's also really really high basketball IQ player he sees a lot of things going on out there you know just his effort and his energy you know throughout the course of the entire game you even with our team you know is terrific but you know as a coach you sit there and you you have great respect and admiration for something that plays that hard and gives to the game into his teammates what what he gives so Billy Donovan trying to do what Steve Kerr and David Blatt did last year first year coaching in the NBA making it to the NBA Finals Oklahoma City is now one win away obviously Russell whether a common denominator all those three guys honestly have his coaching got good play got no great players they got great great for you.
I think that what with our Billy has been able to do I honestly though is he has never taken russell westbrook off the ball that's the that's probably having a difference of that scene where at times you would say put them at the two and let's let's see what happens in bringing the backup point guard when the backup point guard comes in he comes in for Russell he doesn't move Russell over to the two opposition that's to me is the glaring disc difference that has happened and he has been a point guard and he is staying a point guard and he's going to live and die with those decisions yes and I think he's gotten better because of that and I a hundred percent agree with you can I think this and I've said about Russell you all the time Russell gets in trouble he tries to be a pure point guard he's never gonna be maurice cheeks and John Stockman you just a force of nature will be honored and privileged to play with a guy that talent now doesn't get him in trouble at times of course it goes well let me tell you something Billy Scott birthday the job on that too it will just be fair to Scott Brooks he got this thing going.
Just like Mark Jackson got this Golden State thing going but man he left that kid play but i think you know Russell was trying because I don't think Russell would have said after game 3.
What you said the last couple years he says you know what I got to be a better . God and get more guys in the back in the center to get back into some of your San Antonio series on let's talk about a guy who's not in the spotlight but has been under the microscope a bit and you know you talk about Andre Roberson he talked about golden state leaving him open and daring him to shoot and the sky is more known for his defense but when you keep hearing that kind of stuff sack you have to start taking it personally don't you know you have to play without the ball when you have to be in the right spot and we'll just have to keep moving you know blowing the games that we have.
Not only was just standing and I think he took note to that amount of movement and you know cool to okc five guys in double double figures in this guy you know just easy baskets you know have a few three took them made them with confidence playing very well you know when a guy like this can give you 17 points okc definitely I think one of the things that make a mistake to with robots Robin is their leading believing him completely open yes because the one thing a guy who can't shoot he doesn't want a hand in his face so you just have to be close enough to put a hand in his face you have to be close enough to make him an offensive offensive player then I think to disrespect anyone in the NBA they will figure it out there the better but you have been 27 pleasure what you gotta figure gotta give him credit Okene because you go back to put on the taste in Game one he was just standing out there without question if you showed up like yeah every night did you stand out there and shoot three like it didn't last plate but he made he made the adjustment on all those plates I'm not just gonna stand on her legs really active here he is long as he's active that that's all he needs to do uh as you pointed out check five guys in double figures and now the Thunder 70 in this postseason when they have five guys.
In doubles ever gain real family time.
A drain on green what were his thoughts after game four will hear from the next.
The dunking coordination will happen next.
Int there's only gonna be one first dunk.
Coming up in just a few minutes and this operator there's a twitter take over from Aaron Gordon Wow wait everyone they got going to do after midnight maybe he's helping us on the king of the best dunks for me so this might have been the best in the NBA dunk contest honey maybe seeing what happens to the finals.
I've never seen this done that's the first two kami first battle with the latter don't get to these are a lot of stuff going on that tell you what I told you it was amazing.
Al and I love going out as a player and that will be that come on they won a doctor could I love guys who put on a show like that expressing the dunk contest you know that but I had you ever seen anybody bring a ladder out in fact that you could land and not hit the ladder jump straight away all those look pretty between your levels it was amazing come on this show is coming up moments from now.
Meantime dream on green he was the focal point going into Game four was not suspended did play did not play well six points did have 11 rebounds 1 for 7 from the floor his postgame thoughts look like the same games Game three in terms of their energy and their ability to kind of dictate everything.
Yeah my god said before I bring energy to this team and I have not been that you know so i think our areas you go as minor G going to have been awful so pretty much what I do you think that is so I knew no I would've been better you know but then today I know I got to be better.
Gamespot it's all another room we put too much working and go out like this and i wouldn't be able to live with myself off so i'm going out like that so not sure what it is but whatever it is I do it has it on the bias tire from the regular-season and playoff basketball and we just didn't take care of waters notice a long athletic team the past there are you usually make you can't really make no you gotta make it a different way and I don't think we've adjusted to know where take the last 48 hours affected you tonight no I was like other duh today I look like I look sunday so i don't think the last four hours affect me but I think it's the first time in my life that I didn't respond to critics and that's what kind of been my story and I haven't done that so i gotta do that.
Tell me about draymond Green tonight there Shaq not a great night.
No he says hey at least he says he's the God is bringing energy know at least he's acknowledging that you know it's not putting putting forth a lot of energy and hopefully he can go home and muster up some energy but you know he hasn't played well no nobody over.
Go state play well Steve Kerr was quoted as saying they outplayed us we don't have any answers for good thing as we play well at home we have to figure something out and to me when I watch a basketball game at which separates an average player from a good player and a good play from a great player is just the decisions they make and the decisions that Golden State make on the offensive then and the passing lanes that they anticipate won't be there or will be there to me has been the difference in another series and throughout the year and dream upset about is that the length i don't know but the ability to not make great basketball decisions it's what separates Charles Barkley Shaquille O'Neal from other guys.
It separates Michael Jordan Steph Curry lebron james from other guys.
Steph Curry has not make great decisions klay Thompson at times has not late great this is and draymond Green has made bad decisions that decisions in terms of two on one or whatever happens that's the difference to me that was a difference i hate when people start making excuses I heard some food asked about a tire from the regular season he said the first couple rounds of the playoffs lesson.
Oklahoma City has outplayed his team pretty much in every game we played them this year every game this year except one explosion and third quarter by Steph Curry the only question about Oklahoma City was going to be their mental toughness down the stretch with turnovers and things.
Let's give them credit they have our plate epic one game directly to go to state outplayed him to Oklahoma City blue but in this playoffs on the oneself Korea explosion at third quarter oklahoma city's outplayed his team plain and simple and as a result they lead the series 3 games to one with game five coming up on Thursday night you know back to wrap things are in just a second pair of a couple of days present shots they're not only was he beaten by a grandfather in a point contest there was little there was a let's see i'm not doing the choking neck until that new settings open throughout no green you did for you you'd say no making out making it work wants to take on shaft let's do a three-point.
Manufacturer and stuff now he never said no you didn't you know it's like it heart set on showing blank search for working aerial coverage provided by Goodyear everything Goodyear has learned making tires for game-changing traction inspires what they roll into yours drug that sucks her i like that all the flip I like you're the only way you made a short years or more driven this you have to flip this you and miss a wide-open shots next game in this series two nights from now thursday night in Oakland elimination game Oklahoma City with the other breathing when traffic over golden side to what put Russell Westbrook oh yeah I think you got the wrong guy no he just keep the big part of American Russell Westbrook is yeah I have to agree to show all right it's a well you should background presented by I know one unsullied by sponsorship if you're if you're just joining us and you miss the pregame show we did have a little shootout here not going back to that account know there's a lot going on merchants in this need ok ok question is 20 shots apiece for me and Chuck's transformer and then it was time for the first two racks we were tied at five and the time and I had a chance to win on the last night was trying to hide narrow somebody had a drink there but you missed you missed all five on a rack come on allow me to open up the lead so I want 10 to seven Jerry Rice my generation get somebody teaches your face when you consider the Jerry didn't seem to take me down he said Kenny check and sharpness on let's do it up man Jerry carrying right so that night was not like it wasn't bad enough yesterday night and Shaq beat you at golf when you're around that was incredible shot.
Yeah look at this man look at this Oh driver in mind that was literally top thought oh god you're out it wasn't brought not gonna lie that was impressive check with no check when I'm like no money and no one should know chichi right open your working together so on that but we do have some good news for you chuck sir that 23 years ago tonight whatever you were given your MVP trophy.
