Want to know why this show is so good? It’s because The TNT crew isn’t an analyst show, it’s an interview. Ernie asks a question and we get to hear the opinions from 3 basketball greats with 3 different perspectives. That’s why this show is great!
@@ItsYuhBoyyyy you’d be surprised - hundreds of bench players have failed to deliver anything in the past couple of years, play as if they’re alcoholics once they step into the floor
@@ZT2783 Lol you are doing a disservice to the word "bad." He wasn't great the past few games but today he just flat out stinks. I hope he watched the Lonnie Walker show, dude's getting paid 1/4 of what he's getting paid. That's how a reserve rise up to the occasion, instead of rising up to turn the ball over.
Dude Lonnie's ice-cold look and the control he has over his emotions after such a performance...This guy is unfazed and still hungry. Many players would be smiling from ear to ear after a "break-out" like that, some players might even tear up, most players would at least be more talkative. Stone-cold Lonnie...The fourth...We're gonna see more of him.
I'm really happy for Lonnie Walker IV. I know the new guys from Westbrook trade was the difference maker of the last few weeks of regular season, but we shouldn't forget Lonnie was holding the fort with LBJ in the beginning of the season while the team was struggling with injury and all the drama. Humble, hard working guys like him deserve to be praised.
He had a fantastic game, but let’s calm down on the “been doing it all season” claims lol. He had a a great start to the season, probably the first month. Cooled off around mid December and wasn’t amazing through Jan (The same happened with Thomas Bryant soaking up ADs minutes when he was injured) and then got benched once the trades happened. LW4 is a pros pro so he stays ready, but he hasn’t been doing this all season, there’s a reason why he was benched for months lol
Being a Spurs fan, I'm not surprised by Lonnie, or by Derrick White, they were both amazing with us as well. Nothing but the best to them both, really happy to see them shine!
Congrats to Lonnie Walker IV! He was phenomenal and the reason the Lake Show won tonight. I hope Ham will give him more opportunities to show off his talents.
not a laker fan, but wanted lakers to win , fabulous game, and man o man what a display by this 24yr old Lonnie Walker , his confidence ,crisp moves, decision making and shooting were pleasing to watch. Best wishes to this kid.
Steph curry had a horrible triple dub. In fact, every player played bad with Lonnie being the only exception. AD had an amazing 1st half and then went dark
Parlays are all time high right now so it'll be suns vs lakers and lakers win Boston in the finals. "the story: LeBron demolishing the comparison b/w him and curry, defeating old man Durant in the west conference finals and finally beating the Celtics in a playoff game winning the chip. winning it all having 5 rings and retiring number 6 and 23 in L.A." you heard it here -from the future 2030
I'll be honest the AD critique is actually not valid in this game, yes he can offensively dominate but he's the defensive anchor for this team. What he did on Steph during the last few sequence was a testament to how versatile his defense coverage is. Plus he played 43 minutes. Imo A.D played great, if I was the Coach my only requirement is ad get a few more touches down the stretch
And they talk like it’s so easy to just go on the block and ask for the ball! Man unless you don’t scheme offensively properly teams are not just gonna let you be predictable and go post up ! And if so why don’t they hold lebron to the same standard , because he’s bigger than every player on the warriors, why doesn’t lebron go to block everytime also ? This AD narrative the media wants drive is annoying me ! Ad has been the lakers most important player, even when he has a huge game , half his impact doesn’t even show up on the stat sheet! The mental focus AD has had to upheld this first two series is taxing , first with Memphis dealing with ja and now dealing with the warriors !
@@TheBulaflipped It’s weird. It seems like he’s rooting for the Lakers. I think he’s just giving praise to all of LeBron’s teammates so that he can hate when they eventually lose.
This is the best ive ever seen from kenny smith. He didnt go into a 30 minute story about himself or compared guys to himself. He just analyzed and delivered his take. Need more of that from him. Kept it real smooth this whole video.
@Mikey From The 5ive kenny goes into these analogies that just take way too long and stretch out the show. This whole video was clear concise and to the point. He was just smooth. He's never that smooth. He always seems to be the speed bump when they all get their turn
Walker has been my guy since my Spurs drafted him. Glad to see him get some minutes again, he was the Lakers 3rd best player at the start of the season.
Man I’m so happy for Lonnie kid is super talented super athletic can’t speak for all of Laker Nation but most of us been begging for him to get some more PT. Impact player fasho💯
I’ve been at home talking to the TV for the entire Memphis series to give Lonnie Walker some time. The kid is a very solid shooter and defender. He definitely couldn’t do any worse than what Beasley and Brown were doing. So happy he finally got his opportunity.
i mean they wont their first series and they likely win the second series, so i wont critizise a guy that keeps on winning. if they wouldve lost that first round, then you could critizise him.
They won 1st round without Lonnie. They prob gonna win 2nd round with Lonnie. I dont know why Darvin doesnt get a credit. Its like chuck even when the Lakers wins he still has something to say about AD. If AD demanded the ball in the second half who knows if Lonnie would have stay hot.
@Santiago Spangler a pro's pro is a player who plays and does things the ways that pros, who know the game from the inside and better than anyone, know they should be done.
Walker not only hit 15 points, but some REALLY tough shots and played really hard D. If he plays D that hard moving forward, he's got a chance for a lot more minutes. They did look a little lost sometimes on offense on what to do with him... hopefully they figure it out, his quickness and athleticism is a change of pace.
Agreed But at this point Steph Curry shooting a contested 3 Over Anthony Davis is probably just as good of a shot as Draymond taking a contested layup.
Greg Popovich was very high on Walker during his time drafted and playing for the Spurs. Standout individual with great talent, happy to see him outperforming on the big stage as I'm sure Pop is too.
Eh. I know it’s not up to pop. But the spurs were always dumb to just let Lonnie go. But. Spurs front office do this all the time. They let go of good talent easily
I appreciate hearing Lonnie Walker speak. He seems to be humble, mature, disciplined, and hardworking. I have absolutely enjoyed the Lakers showcasing the athleticism and talent of so many players beyond their top three! Seeing and hearing from those that aren’t typically apart or the conversation keep showing that they are putting in the work and that they are an asset! I hope the Lakers win the Championship because everyone on their team is deserving of the trophy and RING!
I hope they win it too. It would be a crazy storied season if it happened. Just think about where they were earlier in the season….. it looked bad for LBJ and company. What a turnaround! It would be a great addition to LBJ’s legacy.
Being a Minnesota Twolves Fan I really loved to see what a good coach does with his team in the 4th quarter when the game is in the balance. He took Deangelo off the floor and put Lonny Walker IV the game. They kept panning over to Russell as he was hoping to come into the game, but Lonny plays really good defense and that steal sparked the run and win for the team along with his huge buckets in clutch-time. Darvin Ham understands his team, and who to play at the right moments. Kudos.
Will always have love for lonnie he went to high school in reading pa and locally we all knew he was the best player great seeing him excel at this level
Loonie has been a stud since Spurs man, I’m glad he’s getting mins and ballin the fk out! Been wanting this man to get mins of Beasley etc. finally got his opportunity and executed to perfection. That interview almost made me cry! ❤
Because Chuck knows that the Lakers are so deep and the Warriors have no match with them. Shaq's statue should be removed because he has no confidence on this team.
they all asked great questions to lonnie, I really think this is the best sportscasting team ever... I enjoy even going back and watching these clips, I have never done that with any other sport/team.
Many young players could easily have demanded a trade after not getting minutes for a good amount of time, but he instead used it to work on his game and wait for that moment. When that moment came, man, he showed Ham why he needs to start putting more trust in him. I hope Ham also sees that with Christie
That's the crazy thing about the NBA playoffs: You can't always predict who is gonna suddenly 'get in the zone' and be the hero. Lonnie Walker IV had his 'John Paxton moment' when the Lakers desperately needed instant offense. Kudos to Darvin Ham, LBJ, and AD for having the trust and courage to let LW4 do his thing. Conversely as a Warriors fan, I'm disappointed that Steve Kerr has lacked the same level of trust in his bench/role players. Kuminga must be in Kerr's doghouse, because he's barely played this postseason.
Thats the part I don't understand. I've been saying put gp2 in since game 2. Sit Poole down and get kuminga and moody in. Jamychal green is not cutting it either, Sit him. They're desperately missing looney. They literally can't grab a rebound.
Exactly man. Bold moves win games sometimes. And I can't believe how many people have disagreed with me when I've tried to voice my opinion for the Lakers to change their rotation when some guys clearly aren't in form. I called for Lonnie & Tristan to get minutes over Beasley & Gabriel. The first one was - a success? I guess, so far at least? Now DHam needs to be brave enough to experiment Tristan a bit more.. We saw the few minutes he played in garbage time (I think it was Game 3) that he was actually a solid role player overall. Wenyen needs to sit, he must! I have a strange feeling Tristan is the key to unlocking AD. The reason why AD is having up and down games is bc he is so gassed (hence why we've seen him hide near the perimeter sometimes and so slow to get back on defense, which is how GSW scored so many wide open layups.. surprise, surprise). Tristan at the 5 for about 10-12 mins per game max is all you need to give AD a bit of a breather, work your other rotations accordingly, and ultimately, watch AD be able to have good games on a stretch! Otherwise, we're in for a rollercoaster.
@@absxx618 thats what i dont understand in d.ham rotation, tristan thompson got chemistry with lebron, hence the clevland days, i guess the reason is because of the small ball linup of gsw. Maybe if they play denver, if ever denver wins, maybe tristan will be introduce in the rotation. Hopefully.
Lakers are deeper, longer, stronger and willing to let younger players show their skills and heart. Warriors need to realize Thompson and Green and Poole are not all they need to be anymore. Make lineup decisions based on results. Where is Kuminga?
I remember when we were 2-10 then chuck would say “ah first off the lakers stink, the lakers aren’t good, la this la that” but how bout now? Cause we up rn!😂😂😂
They did stink back then man they were trash, their team was structured from the bottom up very differently until the trade deadline and on top of that both lebron and AD especially were in and out of the lineup a lot whereas now they are both healthy and playing every game and you don’t have westbrook missing 65% of all his shots and turning the ball over 4-5 times a game. Stuff like that makes a huge difference, they were straight up about to not even make the play in before they made some trades
@@jeremyroberts8822 thank goodness the Lakers dumped Westbrook like a bad penny stock. This current lineup has only been playing 10 games together like you mentioned it was amazing what the Lakers accomplished in the trade deadline
@@arnarnie6844I see the lakers beating Denver, I see them having a harder time with Boston. I could see them winning though, I wouldn’t say it’s a “fact”.
True dat, Kerr is always refreshing to hear. Gives credit where it's due, never seems to lose his cool or feel too ashamed/embarrassed to face whatever the media has for him. That said, mans has a lot of rings. Lol probably very easy for him to stay classy
I love the impact that Austin Reaves has made by saying "I'm HIM!" Every time his highlights come up someone says it and I love that he's getting noticed.
The Lakers aren't going to lose if the game is rigged. It was already written that Lebron will get his fifth ring this season because of his age; the NBA is going to rig it for him; it is all in the script. The Lakers will beat the Warriors 4-1, which is highly likely if the NBA wants to extend the series for money, and the Lakers will finish it at home 4-2. Next round, the Lakers will face the Suns, and the Lakers will beat them in 5 or 6 games. In the finals, it's Lakers vs. 76ers, and the Lakers will win the series 4-2, and AD will get his first Finals MVP. Now come back here if I'm wrong.

They still think it’s the lakers from 2 years ago. Aside from AD and Bron, everyone else is under 30. Warriors on the other hand have 3 guys who are age 33+. So you tell me who’s the “old team”
@@504Native Bro warriors play defense too. Lost by 3. Only player to show up is Curry. I’m sure GSW know defense wins championships. They the defending champs. Warriors beat themselves. Klay only 9pts Poole didn’t even score. Defense was played, players just couldn’t find a bucket.
I appreciate the greats giving Lonnie Walker IV his flowers... well done fellas. People who haven't hooped at a level like this have no idea the amount of focus it takes to be ready from a cold start, and with a huge game like this on the line. Way to stay locked in Lonnie Walker IV!!
The Los Angeles Lakers have some Ballers on their team but of course they have to wait for Coach Ham to call them off of the bench like Lonnie Walker the 4th.

@@josephedrictiamson You sound like a fool. And Chuck isn't just a fan of the Warriors
Warriors threw that game so hard. So many missed open 3s. Brutal late game TOs. Gigantic W for LAL.
LA tried to throw it too… number zero making unguarded threes in the corner, and ADs butter fingers
why they say live by the 3 die by the 3
Draymond turned the ball over for no reason down 3 with 15 on the clock. He could’ve literally done anything else. That sealed the game.
Tired legs from GS players from missing so many 3s
golden shower relies too heavily on 3s. When they don't make 40% they can't win.
Jordan Poole put his basketball in the bag together with the money
Lonnie's 4th quarter was amazing, but I might be even more impressed by his interview. Seems like the perfect teammate.
they all asked great questions to lonnie, I really think this is the best sportscasting team ever... I enjoy even going back and watching these clips, I have never done that with any other sport/team.
An INCREDIBLE basketball game 💪🏽
Rightly said.. incredible indeed..woww
Yes Yes Yes EPIc!!!!!
Definitely the playoff game we needed too many blowouts the Celtics ot game was fantastic too
Sho was. I hate saying this but i don't want no more great games in this series. Need the Lakers go on just bust em up. I'm gonna have a heart astroke
Fixed hot garbage look at the Lakers getting 50 more FT in the series NBA is dogging there defending champs.
Also jordan poole and jamychal green have been unplayable in this series.
13:14 Kenny was so caught off guard 😂😂
Many young players could easily have demanded a trade after not getting minutes for a good amount of time, but he instead used it to work on his game and wait for that moment. When that moment came, man, he showed Ham why he needs to start putting more trust in him. I hope Ham also sees that with Christie
lonnie is so articulated, great seeing players in nba who are so well spoken ''you know''
True
"Forget LeBron, Forget AD we have Lonnie Walker number 4",-Chuck😂😂😂
Chuck told Draymond to his face the Warriors are cooked during all star break and he may just be right 😂
Chuck also said the Sacramento Kings would make the conference finals he’s not right about anything 😂. Warriors aren’t cooked, Lakers are just BETTER.
Also said he GUARANTEED the Bucks would beat us🤷🏿♂️
@@rj_4mp100 Welp the Lakers are better and the Warriors are cooked. Gn
Klang Thompson and Jordan Toole didn't step up tonight. They need them to produce.
That's the crazy thing about the NBA playoffs: You can't always predict who is gonna suddenly 'get in the zone' and be the hero. Lonnie Walker IV had his 'John Paxton moment' when the Lakers desperately needed instant offense. Kudos to Darvin Ham, LBJ, and AD for having the trust and courage to let LW4 do his thing. Conversely as a Warriors fan, I'm disappointed that Steve Kerr has lacked the same level of trust in his bench/role players. Kuminga must be in Kerr's doghouse, because he's barely played this postseason.
Thats the part I don't understand. I've been saying put gp2 in since game 2. Sit Poole down and get kuminga and moody in. Jamychal green is not cutting it either, Sit him.
They're desperately missing looney. They literally can't grab a rebound.
Man they did poole dirty. put up his 0 points in the graphic lol
Thank You Lakers for using Lonnie Walker like y'all did during the season. Lonnie, Rui and Austin are the pieces to win that title.
Exactly man. Bold moves win games sometimes. And I can't believe how many people have disagreed with me when I've tried to voice my opinion for the Lakers to change their rotation when some guys clearly aren't in form. I called for Lonnie & Tristan to get minutes over Beasley & Gabriel. The first one was - a success? I guess, so far at least? Now DHam needs to be brave enough to experiment Tristan a bit more.. We saw the few minutes he played in garbage time (I think it was Game 3) that he was actually a solid role player overall. Wenyen needs to sit, he must! I have a strange feeling Tristan is the key to unlocking AD. The reason why AD is having up and down games is bc he is so gassed (hence why we've seen him hide near the perimeter sometimes and so slow to get back on defense, which is how GSW scored so many wide open layups.. surprise, surprise). Tristan at the 5 for about 10-12 mins per game max is all you need to give AD a bit of a breather, work your other rotations accordingly, and ultimately, watch AD be able to have good games on a stretch! Otherwise, we're in for a rollercoaster.
@@absxx618 thats what i dont understand in d.ham rotation, tristan thompson got chemistry with lebron, hence the clevland days, i guess the reason is because of the small ball linup of gsw. Maybe if they play denver, if ever denver wins, maybe tristan will be introduce in the rotation. Hopefully.
“Lonnie Walker Numba Fo (IV)!” 🤣✊🏾💯
Lakers are deeper, longer, stronger and willing to let younger players show their skills and heart. Warriors need to realize Thompson and Green and Poole are not all they need to be anymore. Make lineup decisions based on results. Where is Kuminga?
Unselfish basketball for LA. Teamwork. And they developed the youngsters
They're sleeping on Kuminga for sure
Pause
@@Kali-Ikigai thank you 🤣
True point..and so is baisly on the Lakers..i am so expecting of seeing him .n i am so surprised if not seeing him as yet..
Lonnie comes across as a classy guy that goes about his business the right way. Happy he delivered and is getting some serious shine.
Always something so smooth about that raspy “stephortless” harmony 2:31
I remember when we were 2-10 then chuck would say “ah first off the lakers stink, the lakers aren’t good, la this la that” but how bout now? Cause we up rn!😂😂😂
They did stink back then man they were trash, their team was structured from the bottom up very differently until the trade deadline and on top of that both lebron and AD especially were in and out of the lineup a lot whereas now they are both healthy and playing every game and you don’t have westbrook missing 65% of all his shots and turning the ball over 4-5 times a game. Stuff like that makes a huge difference, they were straight up about to not even make the play in before they made some trades
@@jeremyroberts8822 thank goodness the Lakers dumped Westbrook like a bad penny stock. This current lineup has only been playing 10 games together like you mentioned it was amazing what the Lakers accomplished in the trade deadline
had the lakers made no trades this season would have been over a while ago.
when the Lakers win the championship most of y’all gone say it was the easiest path ever 😂
I already see it
Boston, or Denver will definitely win it. Just a fact.
@@arnarnie6844 wanna bet?
@@arnarnie6844I see the lakers beating Denver, I see them having a harder time with Boston. I could see them winning though, I wouldn’t say it’s a “fact”.
For real they wanna hate on them so bad to call their championships illegitimate or rigged or whatever dumb excuse the haters have. 😂
Always impressed with Steve Kerr's class. Always even-keeled even after a loss. And respectful. A dying breed.
nine-time NBA champion and one of the best 3-point snipers in the history of the 3-point shot. class oozes from his pores....
facts... he talks with a lot of respect and class, not like some newbies 2nd 3rd term coaches..
True dat, Kerr is always refreshing to hear. Gives credit where it's due, never seems to lose his cool or feel too ashamed/embarrassed to face whatever the media has for him.
That said, mans has a lot of rings. Lol probably very easy for him to stay classy
Mike brown Enter The 💬
I love the impact that Austin Reaves has made by saying "I'm HIM!" Every time his highlights come up someone says it and I love that he's getting noticed.
His name up there with Lebron and AD’s stats after the recap. So awesome. He’s that him.
Lebron knows GSW that well that he knew the last play. He told AD to stay with Klay. Draymond had no choice but to throw that ball away.
I knew Lonnie was a very good player when he was in San Antonio❤
Warriors fans will still blame the free throws for losing this game
@Aaron Roberto learn to defend without fouling
Refs made Steph and Draymond throw the ball away.
And the refs…
The Lakers aren't going to lose if the game is rigged. It was already written that Lebron will get his fifth ring this season because of his age; the NBA is going to rig it for him; it is all in the script. The Lakers will beat the Warriors 4-1, which is highly likely if the NBA wants to extend the series for money, and the Lakers will finish it at home 4-2. Next round, the Lakers will face the Suns, and the Lakers will beat them in 5 or 6 games. In the finals, it's Lakers vs. 76ers, and the Lakers will win the series 4-2, and AD will get his first Finals MVP. Now come back here if I'm wrong.
@@nbascript 😂😂😂 you’re funny
Ironic how now Steph is the one with no help😭
Karma at it's finest
remember LeBron vs Curry Kd Thompson?
😢

Let’s be real, warriors not gonna win when klay only have 9 pts. And overall we miss lot of open 3s
They still think it’s the lakers from 2 years ago. Aside from AD and Bron, everyone else is under 30. Warriors on the other hand have 3 guys who are age 33+. So you tell me who’s the “old team”
So frustrating as a warriors fan that we lost because of ourselves in the 4th quarter. Missing open threes and making turnovers. It was insane.
No y’all lost because the lakers are the better team 😂😂😂😂 defense wins championships buddy
Quite simple…if it was that urgent then dreymond should’ve went over Schroeder
@@504Native Bro warriors play defense too. Lost by 3. Only player to show up is Curry. I’m sure GSW know defense wins championships. They the defending champs. Warriors beat themselves. Klay only 9pts Poole didn’t even score. Defense was played, players just couldn’t find a bucket.
@@CUTTHACAP klay and poole combined for nine points cuz we locked them down. Wake up and smell the roses y’all are going home😂😂
@@504Native the lakers arent the better team... if you think that we didnt give the game away last night idk what game you were watching
It’s criminal this show doesn’t cover the finals
Disney/ABC corporation is probably worth more than Ted Turner
4:52 that smile of dennis Schroeder 😂
Nice to see Lonnie contribute in the playoffs, always loved watching him as a Spur.
“We got Lonnie Walker number 4” 😂😂😂😂 gotta love Chuck
Lonnie is a well spoken dude. Respect
It’s been said too many times but Green really did punch the talent/confidence out of poole like he was the ball from space jam.
Schroder had a LOT of fun this game.
He made fun of Draymond TWO times this game and both times were hilarious.
nah Dennis realized Dray is with us lol
ice-cold off the bench, though...
@@tommurphy43075-9 and great defense. Ice cold ?
Gotta feel good for LeBron to hug you after you play your heart out I know he feels appreciated
Nobody gonna talk about Shaq saying “YOu gOtTA DuNK tHAt DAVICHECHEI” 😂😂 3:16

LW4*
It’s PHO, FOO!!!
@@RockAndGrohlMe not that deep

“Lonnie Walker the 4th quarter”
I appreciate the greats giving Lonnie Walker IV his flowers... well done fellas. People who haven't hooped at a level like this have no idea the amount of focus it takes to be ready from a cold start, and with a huge game like this on the line. Way to stay locked in Lonnie Walker IV!!
I love Walker's mindset. Stay ready.
The Los Angeles Lakers have some Ballers on their team but of course they have to wait for Coach Ham to call them off of the bench like Lonnie Walker the 4th.
A absolute nail biter!! It was so close, well played to both teams. What a game!
They know Draymond was supposed to pass it to Steph but he panicked. Even Schroder was clowning him 😂😂
Draymond should have shoot that ball.. he was very close to the rim
Draymond this playoff has been awful.
@@mileyviamontilla5040 should’ve SHOT, not SHOOT. Idiocracy confirmed. Educate yourself. No excuses. Be better… Also, WRONG PLAY 🙄 We’re discussing Dray’s TO while dribbling up court… not his offensive rebound. KEEP UP.
@@MultilinguistGlobalFitBlessed Be more humble, arrogance is much worse than the point you're trying to make. To take a typo of mispronunciation that far to say educate yourself, no excuses, be better is pretty shocking.
@@Nicomartz52 are you watching the games?
8:49 I agree with Shaq “Never underestimate the heart of a champion” Rudy T.
I been waiting for ham to play Lonnie..thank u coach..on to game 5💜💛💜💛
That shot at the end with Lebron AD and Lonnie was extra special what a night for a young guy Lonnie is special.
My boy Poole went off tho look at them stats!! 🐐
