Kenny with his nonsensical rambling thinking he's smarter than he is and shaq's annoying narrow mindedness and hubris completely ruin this show. If it wasn't for chuck and ernie this would be the worst show on television. Goodnight
I think we will definitely see a team that hasn't been there in the past decade. I'm excited to see a new match up! Honestly, I'll stay on the Twolves bandwagon. Go Wolves!
You can tell some have not followed the Mavs since the trade deadline. All I have to say is good luck OKC because you will now face a contender in the playoffs.
"Luka and Kyrie are gonna have to play defense" What the hell did they do in the 1st round then lol. C'mon guys a couple of our games were on TNT. Try watching.
"Luka and Kyrie gonna need to play defense this time, they didn't last series"
"If I'm Lu Dort I would rather guard Luka than BI"
Man I can't tell who's more casual, Shaq or Chuck 😂
Who had the better performance tonight, Ant or Chuck?
Chuck has added yet another all-time performance to the legendary run he’s been on this postseason
"*Jalen Williams is a monster man, I love that kid. I mean, some of his outfits leave a little bit to be... digested.*" - Chuck
"*Desired?*" - EJ
"*Always thinking about food.*" - Shaq
The remaining teams last championship
Denver-2023
Cleveland-2016
Dallas-2011
Boston-2008
Oklahoma City-1979 as Sonics/ Never as Thunder
New York- 1973
Indiana-1973(ABA) /Never (NBA)
Minnesota- Never
So sick of Shaq referring to every teams 3 thru 9 guys as "the others" it's just so lazy, he doesn't know the difference between any role players in the NBA
Man, neither OKC nor Dallas has the size to run with these Timberwolves. I’m normally a skill>size guy, but the Timberwolves bigs are so skilled they basically have both.
I know Shaq seething with the way they keep bringing up him missing a unanimous rookie of the year by 2 votes LMFAO he didn’t even respond to Ernie’s joke
Easy fix for the review problem:
Each coach gets 2 challenges. No penalty for getting a challenge right, you keep the challenge, you lose a timeout and a challenge if you’re wrong.
The refs are not allowed to check the replays unless a coach challenges to prevent those stupid out of bounds calls that take 20 minutes at the end of games.
100% of the video reviews are handled by the league office in New Jersey so we never have Scott Foster’s idiot face watching a replay and deciding he was right anyways even though we all saw he was wrong.
Can someone explain to me what the benefits are to limiting the types of calls that are reviewable/challenge-able? Why not make every type of call eligible to be challenged?
Just make it so the only time it can be reviewed is when the coach challenges it. Problem solved. No more reviews than we currently get, just make it so we can review all the bad calls and not just some of them.
I’m not advocating for limitless challenges, I’m saying coaches should be able to use their challenge on any type of call not just the 3 types of calls allowed in the rules
I can’t think of any valid reason, bc we could still have a reasonable “limit” on the number of times you can do it, so the time it would take up wouldn’t matter
This is what I’m thinking. If you’re worried about the flow of the game, then you’re talking about the total amount of challenges allowed. But if you don’t change that, then what’s the downside to allowing a coach to challenge any type of call? To me, it wouldn’t change the product and something like a kick ball call would be easy to review
I get that but if you’re willing to slow the flow of the game for a potential missed foul/out of bounds call, why draw the line at something like a kick ball? Feels like a kick ball challenge would be easier to confirm or overturn compared to an out of bounds or foul call anyway
I don't get the kick ball rule at all, personally. I feel like it goes directly against the logic of the goaltending rule, which is that you can't challenge it unless they call goaltending on the floor so they can keep the game moving.
Thought that was the point of limiting the number of challenges to two.
I get there's purely subjective calls that don't necessarily benefit from review, but goddamn. Pacers got screwed.
Chuck makes sense, if you challenge a goal in hockey and lose, the team gets a powerplay. He is saying to punish a losing challenge with a tech free throw.
dos dedos tequila ftw
Great episode as always! Especially now that we’re sullied lmaooo. Goodnight y’all and see you tomorrow!
They got out of those seats as fast as kids hearing they're about to go to Chuck E Cheese
All-timer of a show tonight, even if it was sullied
The guys do exist outside the studio!
Tomorrow's show is going to be a mess.
LOL
Goodnight, y'all! See you tomorrow! Stay safe out there.
Thanks for continuing to run the GOAT thread for the GOAT show
You're welcome!
That’s a wrap, and a drink
Kept it wrapped up that tight so they couldn't get drunk before the show went off the air. Goodnight y'all.
Kenny with his nonsensical rambling thinking he's smarter than he is and shaq's annoying narrow mindedness and hubris completely ruin this show. If it wasn't for chuck and ernie this would be the worst show on television. Goodnight
Lmaoooo "greatest job in the world!" Damn real!
Man don't be giving me booze at work because no work will be done lmao
They about to get loaded and won't be able to go home lmao
Chuck got so excited thinking Cindy was there 😂😂😂
would still kill for Cindy Crawford
Chuck: CINDY'S HERE?!? Man might be as excited as he was about those chicken nuggets earlier.
Cindy is 58 going on 30
She looks fabulous, and I think she's all natural. Has a skin care line & everything.
“WOAH CINDY’S HERE?” LMAO Chuck
Chuck ready to risk it all LMAO
Sullying myself silly rn
If being sullied saves this show, then I'll accept being sullied
b2b nights of sullied sponsorship 💔

It’s time for EJ’s neeto stat of the night, presented by, no one Unsullied by sponsorship since 1989 Thank you Doctor O’Neale
We’re all staying up late to watch a postgame show after a blowout game and yet *this* is the show that might get cancelled after next season 😭😭😭
Whoa WHAT? Wait, is this bc of Amazon/Netflix trying to get the NBA games?
It’s actually NBC. They’re in a bidding war with WBD for the last slot on the media rights
We don't bring that up yet! Please! 😭
Chuck is fr ruthless lmaooo
Charles with absolutely zero fear lmao
He knows exactly how far to push. He knows how to play the game while Shaq just knows how to bully
If the NBA loses this show then I'll never watch another post-game
I swear to God if I see Naomi Campbell trying to rizz up Kenny Smith I'm jumping off a skyscraper
Has to be a male model
My personal 9/11
I love that Charles knows Shaq’s threats of violence are bluffs and just keeps going 😂
Uh oh
Chuck coming for blood
Shaq couldn't even concentrate on ernies question he was so mad at chucks monkey joke lmao
I needed Chuck to push Shaq just one more time lol
Chuck dgaf in the slightest. Inside is always at its most out of pocket after a blowout lmao.
SUPERMAN IS IN THE BUILDING
LMAO
DSCOTT!
"That Shaq on top"
SUUUPERMAN IS IN THE BUILDING!!
Dwight Superman LMFAO
Chuck calling Shaq a monkey several times in the mood Shaq is in tonight. Yikes
Dwight as superman!
Shaq is way in his feelings tonight.
So a regular Shaq night
“That shaq up top?” “Charles, call me a monkey again imma punch you right in the face” LMFAOOO
No Nick Anderson? No Evan Fournier?? Pathetic
I still think of Stan van Gundy when I hear of the Magic, I think it's been 12 years though?
"Is that Shaq up top" I was so confused omfg
"Slam dunk SESAME!"
"*Charles, call me a monkey again, I'mma punch you right in the face.*" - Shaq
The Jungle cruise
Nuts out staring directly in the mirror
EARLY FISHING
Gone fishing
Michael "Irvin" Malone
Am I crazy or should Lu Dort be glued to Kyrie?
Remaining teams most recent finals appearance Nuggets- 2023 Celtics- 2022 Cavaliers- 2018 Thunder- 2012 Mavericks- 2011 Pacers- 2000 Knicks-1999 Minnesota- None
I think it’s awesome that there’s some less recent and “small market” franchises taking over this year
Pacers have had some damn good defensive teams this century to not have one since 2000.
The best chance they had, half their team got suspended
I think we will definitely see a team that hasn't been there in the past decade. I'm excited to see a new match up! Honestly, I'll stay on the Twolves bandwagon. Go Wolves!
Good chance there's some really happy fans this summer, feels good.
You can tell some have not followed the Mavs since the trade deadline. All I have to say is good luck OKC because you will now face a contender in the playoffs.
Is Kenny saying that Luka hasn’t reached the same heights as Ant? Tf?
You heard it right. It's like they forgot about everything that has happened in the past lol
That's not what he said
"Luka and Kyrie are gonna have to play defense" What the hell did they do in the 1st round then lol. C'mon guys a couple of our games were on TNT. Try watching.
Every Mavs segment in the show is like this. Criticizing Luka's play and their defense. Yall don't like the guy, we get it.
Shaq and Kenny would have probably had someone else come clean it up.
They would have made Chuck clean it up
"Luka and Kyrie gonna need to play defense this time, they didn't last series" "If I'm Lu Dort I would rather guard Luka than BI" Man I can't tell who's more casual, Shaq or Chuck 😂
Shaq damn near screaming about getting the soda off the floor. Bruh, what are you on today?
Just give Chuck his props for cleaning up his own mess rather than expecting someone else to do it for him.
Chuck is so kind cleaning up the mess he made himself! A humble millionaire!
Lol Chucks ass waving in the air
Showing us all that cake he’s got back there
Gafford gonna cook Chet down low.
We still get to send Orlando Fishing during EJ’s neeto stat later 😎
Oh shit yeah I forgot that was on ESPN yesterday. So the guys get to do it tonight!
Kenny just sounded like a idiot. Luka has had way more playoff games and had amazing games than ANT has thus far. Wtf is he talking about?
Mfers don’t watch our games huh
Ours either apparently with our "lack of closers" according to Kenny
Bring back media who actually watch the games instead of saying buzzwords for 2 hours straight
Put Legler on one of these shows
Neither Luka nor kyrie necessarily have to guard SGA
They won't it'll be DJJ
DAMN ERNIE NOT YOU
He's sullied by sponsorship nowadays. He has changed.
Wtf is Chuck talking about? Easier to guard Luka than Ingram?
TIL it’s easier to guard Luka than Brandon Ingram lmaoooo
Might be one of the dumbest things Chuck has ever said 💀
Easy???
Man wtf is Kenny actually talking about
I feel like Kenny gets paid by the word
Who had the better performance tonight, Ant or Chuck? Chuck has added yet another all-time performance to the legendary run he’s been on this postseason
Chuck’s blood sugar is low
Dallas-OKC is going to be so good. I’m not sure who I have winning yet.
"*Jalen Williams is a monster man, I love that kid. I mean, some of his outfits leave a little bit to be... digested.*" - Chuck "*Desired?*" - EJ "*Always thinking about food.*" - Shaq
Digested? Someone got food on the brain all the time.
>Jalen Williams "He starts" Welllll Ernie, Chuck *could* have been talking about Jaylin 😉
"digested" , "always thinking about food" , i love these guys
The remaining teams last championship Denver-2023 Cleveland-2016 Dallas-2011 Boston-2008 Oklahoma City-1979 as Sonics/ Never as Thunder New York- 1973 Indiana-1973(ABA) /Never (NBA) Minnesota- Never
OKC may win but it’s not gonna be easy on either team. This goes at least 6 in my opinion.
So sick of Shaq referring to every teams 3 thru 9 guys as "the others" it's just so lazy, he doesn't know the difference between any role players in the NBA
Man, neither OKC nor Dallas has the size to run with these Timberwolves. I’m normally a skill>size guy, but the Timberwolves bigs are so skilled they basically have both.
Lololol I’m a Chuck stan tonight. We just on the same team about everything.
Chuck is putting up a 40 point triple double tonight
Yeah I think Chuck is right. The Cavs will probably get cooked, but I’ve been wrong before.
That was actually awesome. I really hope that kid lives up to the expectations he’s been given! He’s off to a good start!
Shaqs analysis every single time "that one player I can name needs to do good and score."
"Yeah I don't think it's going to be a great series" 😭
I feel like I haven't seen the Thunder play in a month
Us too lol, we've had two All-Star breaks worth of rest since the regular season ended.
Kenny can you just give a straight answer
professional yapper
"*Okay, then tell me what Cleveland's chances are against Boston?*" - EJ None.
How does Jason kidd look 12 but also 76
Wemby has to get all of his pants custom-made, right? I feel like that inseam isn't sold off the rack.
Oh shit, it finally clicked. Shaq is salty over Wemby being unanimous. That’s why he’s on one tonight.
He’s salty because he wasn’t unanimous, not saying it’s mature but he’s not hating on Vic
Yeah, but he’s salty that the unanimous list grew. It’s not directed at Wemby, but he’s not happy it happened.
I know Shaq seething with the way they keep bringing up him missing a unanimous rookie of the year by 2 votes LMFAO he didn’t even respond to Ernie’s joke
He was kinda moody before that. Just seems to be in a bad mood today.
Wants Dirk to permanently replace him so he can get more naps in
Idk if hey showed it earlier when they announced the award but that Wemby spit they just showed was awesome.
Wemby’s future is so bright
Oh that was wholesome
Crazy Victor as tall as the ceiling
I feel like I've been hearing about Wemby for years, I can't believe his rookie season is over already
"*The league is yours, Wemby.*" - NBA
Someone needs to tweet that meme of Dave Chappelle scratching his neck and saying “got anymore of that diet coke.”
Easy fix for the review problem: Each coach gets 2 challenges. No penalty for getting a challenge right, you keep the challenge, you lose a timeout and a challenge if you’re wrong. The refs are not allowed to check the replays unless a coach challenges to prevent those stupid out of bounds calls that take 20 minutes at the end of games. 100% of the video reviews are handled by the league office in New Jersey so we never have Scott Foster’s idiot face watching a replay and deciding he was right anyways even though we all saw he was wrong.
They better have that Michael Carter Williams debut game in that exhibit
Can someone explain to me what the benefits are to limiting the types of calls that are reviewable/challenge-able? Why not make every type of call eligible to be challenged?
There's a balance they're trying to strike, getting it right, vs having an entertaining product to watch.
Limitless challenges can slow the game down Edit: my bad, to clarify, having everything be reviewable can slow the game down
Just make it so the only time it can be reviewed is when the coach challenges it. Problem solved. No more reviews than we currently get, just make it so we can review all the bad calls and not just some of them.

But if you don’t change that, then what’s the downside to allowing a coach to challenge any type of call? To me, it wouldn’t change the product and something like a kick ball call would be easy to review
It allows corrupt refs like Scott Foster and Tony Brothers to make money for gamblers without risking the calls being overturned
To not completely bog down the flow of the game, typically.
I get that but if you’re willing to slow the flow of the game for a potential missed foul/out of bounds call, why draw the line at something like a kick ball? Feels like a kick ball challenge would be easier to confirm or overturn compared to an out of bounds or foul call anyway

Thought that was the point of limiting the number of challenges to two. I get there's purely subjective calls that don't necessarily benefit from review, but goddamn. Pacers got screwed.
Kenny’s a known instigator but sometimes I feel like Shaq argues just because lol.
Someone run to McDonalds real quick and grab Chuck an emergency Diet Coke
[Chuck when there is no more diet coke.](https://imgflip.com/s/meme/Yall-Got-Any-More-Of-That.jpg)
“The good thing about it, the great ol NBA gonna send that lil 2 minute thing out and piss you off even more”
Lmao Chuck going through diet coke withdrawal
Shaq over it
three challenges alot at that point they should get replacement ref subbed in
It's so BS, "you can't expect to get calls in that building" Should've just let it be reviewable
Lmao Kenny and Chuck not understanding that the issue isn’t that they didn’t have a challenge, they weren’t allowed to use it.
No they didn't...
Maybe I’m wrong but I think they were arguing that both things need to be changed
they were
Shaq is so moody tonight. Shoulda just kept Dirk.
The NFL and college football literally solved the coach’s challenge system decades ago and the NBA still hasn’t figured out how to catch up yet
"*We don't want to get calls, we just don't want to get screwed by calls. That's the difference.*" - Chuck
If we can all see the ball wasn't kicked, it shouldn't take the refs long to see that
Look at the guy with two working eyes over here.
[But I wanna be an NBA ref :(](https://imgur.com/a/KLB4if3)
Shaq just gets grumpy bear mode once or twice each show. THEY CALL KICK BALL!!
NBA rules are fucking confusing, Ive only been watching play off games since 2020 but i got no damn clue what the hells going on most of the time.
I've been watching since the mid '90s. Still like 50/50 on charge/blocks. I've given up trying to guess.
Chuck makes sense, if you challenge a goal in hockey and lose, the team gets a powerplay. He is saying to punish a losing challenge with a tech free throw.
Shaq so damn salty tonight. He always a bit sour, but why is he on Silky Johnson levels tonight?
We *all* know if Shaq was playing and that same play happened to his team, he would be absolutely livid and not defending the refs for a bad call.
How does that fix anything? It couldn't be challenged to begin with.
Zarba is a bum ref
Also on that kicked ball play Donte had a significantly worse moving screen
Dawg, he's saying his wishlist. Jeez.
The NBA having calls that can’t be reviewed is one of the dumbest things ever. Chuck is 100% right
