It’s like inside the NBA pointed out, the Timberwolves coach letting the other team go on a 21-0 run without calling a time out is just bad coaching
Yes but the players are just as accountable
@@rayquaza1245 The players are responsible for executing the game plan that the coach drafts up. Once the coach sees that his YOUNG team is lost out there, then yes, call a timeout to make adjustments. This is why you have timeouts…change what is NOT working for the team. Silly just silly
@@scottsmith1986 Dont see what that has to do with what I said
That loss was completely embarrassing and I can totally see the coaching staff being fired after that. They literally did not call a single time out on a 21-0 run!
Just got an extension
KAT with 8 Points was embarrassing
Players can call timeout too…
Butler would have never allowed this
@@jaymoore9181 and?🤷♂️
KAT been talking big but performances like this is why many refuse to put him in the same conversation as Embiid or Jokic.
Joker and Denver looking like straight suckas in that GS series.
They don’t respect him he soft
@@samfolkestad1726 he on the 3 point line because he can't score inside against good Big man's.
Outscored 37-12 in the 4th quarter! I’ve never seen such pathetic basketball in my life tbh.
That's just an average timberwolves game 😂😂
Nets
I’ve seen the Warriors back in 2019 blow a 31 point lead in a playoff game.
They did end up winning the series but still mind boggling how they can give up such a massive lead like that.
This era seems to be more proned to comebacks and choke jobs
@@Terror832 not focus, that easily happens. Next thing you know y’all trailing
Disgusting
this is clearly a collapse … they chocked TWO .. NOT ONE, two 20 point leads during the game
The game aside, that kat and Ja father thing is heartwarming asf
KAT needs to step up. In my opinion, the Timberwolves were tired that game. You can see it in the 4th quarter. They put it everything they had early in the game with the big lead. No timeouts called on a 21-0 run, which means more energy drained. Once 4th quarter hit, there was Bad glass cleaning (too many second chances), no screen and rolls, inconsistency on perimeter shots. That’s just from what I saw.
KAT is riding that 3 pt title wave and things he is Shaq with a jump shot.
Pat bev things he can pest his way to a championship.
Edwards is the guy who cares and trying the best.
Beverly bricking at end was a lovely sight
😂😂
The Grizzlies beat a team by 70! They are capable of going on spurts. Their shot has been off the first 2 games. Bane hit 7 3's last night. The next game will be a blowout!! Grizzlies by 30!!! Whoop em!!
Bane hitting 7 3’s is not happening again nor is KAT with. 8 points. 🫣
@@Trap323a Kat has already happened 2 times this playoffs haha
"Whoop that trick"
@@Trap323a bane could definitely hit 7 again. He's done it all year.
Charles Barkley's rant is all you want to hear about this game tbh
As a player on the court I'm FINDING a reason to call timeout during that run 21-0 run I'm making my shoe come off while running or something we getting this timeout 🤷🏾♂️ LoL
loooool
Everyone last week: Pat Bev brings that experience veteran presence and toughness.
Yesterday:……..
Bruh pat Beverly is the reason they got off to a great start. I'm a grizzlies fan lol. Kat just soft as he'll. And the team was dumb by not taking advantage being up +20 by having Kat go inside and pound the ball. That mane sawft as he'll. They kept shooting jumpers. Meanwhile the grizz kept attacking the paint and making timely jumpers here and there. Once they were within 16 they 3 ball started falling. It was a wrap for them. Coach not calling a timeout to stifle the run was also the backbreaker.
I really thought Minnesota had this 1 in the bag, smh 😂
Never
The coach soft , kat soft & DLo gotta go.
Sotta timber pillows..
Why? Their the 7th seed playing a 2 seed? Lol a 2 seed with the best bench in the NBA, best winning record without their MVP caliber point guard? 🤔 All that & u thought Wolves had this in the bag? 💀
@@LjSwaGGin92 simply based off the lead margin 🤷🏾♂️ anything can happened in the NBA at any moment, irregardless of all those pointless facts y’all try to throw around 🥱 this is Playoff basketball we’re talking about
Perk dont cap, this was a major collapse
Can Stephen A ever accept the fact that Perk has a different opinion than him and move on with life. Wether or not you agree with Perk, he is passionate with his takes. Stephen A not once has ever acknowledged that and just calls him ridiculous every single time.
Not directly saying this applies to this segment, just in general.
It's a DEBATE show. Shut up
And thats the reason why we are watching this show...
Ya naw you wrong on so many levels. Perk isn’t some newbie to need all that support and confidence building
how about you quit watching the show then
There’s a reason Jimmy Butler went off on the Timberwolves. He knew KAT didn’t have the “it” factor!
jimmy butler was right about the twolves back then... at least wiggins seems to have learned his lesson now at golden state
Im gonna show up to work late and when my boss says why you late I'm going to say "next question".
Absolutely right Stephan A
Towns is a paper tiger. How do you score 8 points in 33 minutes during a playoff game? Butler was exactly right. It's why Embiid destroys him one on one. No heart. They will NEVER go anywhere with him in the middle.
To say Minn didn’t blow that game is ignorant af, I literally turned the game off.
*6:03* 🤣 SAS isn't even listening to Perk. Neither are the rest of us. Be funny if that was a beer can and not a soda can.
did stephen a crack a drink at 6:03? Ahahaha
Spot on Perk!!! Ant is franchise player not KAT!! In his KAT thinks he is but nope!!!
Honestly I’m a long long long time fan of the timberwolves- every team makes a run- they had a chance to make some noise at home- up by 25 going into the final quarter I turned off the tv- you could see their defeat and the lack of confidence- the here we go again playoff losing mentality- that is coaching
I thought i was tripping Minnesota had that huge lead in the 1st half but they were playing sloppy they were just scoring most if their points in transition
Give credit to Memphis, but this was ALL on Minnesota. An absolute joke of a team. They let this game slip away from them TWICE. They can bounce back, but boy do they need to get their act together.
wasn’t all minnesota. of course going on two big runs as a young team is tough. the grizz out played, out dawged, out coached the timberwolves simple
Nah Minnesota gave it away. If they had blown just one lead then that’s the grizzlies, they blew two 20 point leads in one game
I think it was bad defense and GRIZZ was hot and hit shots in the 4th
Perk, youre wrong on ANT being the face/franchise (this season) of the Wolves. Even though he has a better potential to be greater than Kat, even though he plays better than Kat, let's not remove the *responsibility* off of Towns. Ant is just on his 2nd year, Kat on the other hand is paid so much and on his 5th or 6th season. This situation is not the same with rookie Mitchel were there is no prominent older star on the Jazz that he became their star right away.
Kat has never led a team though... it took a 2nd year ant dropping 22ppg plus carrying in important moments to win games. That's the guy now. You don't become the guy cause u win regular season games. You become the guy when it matters most
@@grandmaster3211 True Dat. I think KP meant face of the franchise as far as AE having a much more domineering personality. Although KAT has been more expressive lately
karl’s mom passed recently ease up white steven
KAT is soft, Perk nailed it. Front runner. Talkin noise when he's up, salty and quite when he's down. He has done absolutely nothing in this league except win a 3pt contest...Every year he's been the main guy they are a bottom lottery team.
I don’t know how anybody watching KAT this year calls him soft. He’s been bowling into the lane all year. Didn’t Memphis DT him a lot to just take him out of offense?
HOW DO YOU NOT CALL A TIMEOUT AT ALL DURING A 21-0 RUN!
The million dollar question right there. This game pretty much proved Charles Barkley's point
Kat is very talented, but his terrible IQ has rubbed off on everyone. Kat is more like big play or nothing player instead of focusing on the little things. This is why they been so bad since jimmy butler has left Towns.
I’m back here after he answer the call give him his credit, Memphis is lucky is tied up at 2-2 just cuz Minnesota gave that game away series supposed to be 3-1
KAT Joked about Russ now playin just like him in the playoffs😭
“We in Minnesota now” 😂😂😂
KAT with a ferocious.....8 points....at home 😐🤦
tbh I agree with them both. Point is he has to show up
Listen man. I thought the Twolves had 0 shot, and they hella young so they’ll be back. KAT will hopefully take this to heart and work to get better, with what he’s gone through in his life we want him to succeed. But they lost 2 25 point leads. That’s unacceptable. You gotta get up that big and crush the Grizzlies throat and make sure they can’t come back.
KAT is a 7 year veteran there is no way you can defend him. He cries every time he commits dumb fouls gets no rebounds and takes no shots against smaller opponents it is embarrassing
I knew the wolves would take one maybe 2 games but I never believed they would win the series D’Angelo russel plays to cook for school kat idk what to say about him and even tho Anthony edwards is extremely talented he’s very streaky game to game there been games where he would have 21 in the first half and finish the game with 24 I had them losing off the fact that they have no consistency and they’re top guy is mentally weak because when it comes to talent the wolves might be top 10 in the league talent wise
Towns being exposed once again… Pat Beverly got them guys running round huffin and puffin like they wolves, they lil puppies.. He had the nerve to talk crazy to Lebron last month, he hasn’t done anything in the league… solid average player…
No he can't respect the fact of Kendrick Perkins having his own opinion
Minnesota was scared Outta their minds.Deebo came for his 40, and they bought him a liquor store.
😂
Went to sleep end of third quarter thinking my grizzlies ticket was cooked
The timberwolves are sorry they should be the first team ever to be disqualified from the 1st rd.
This is all about the collapse. Memphis didn’t play good. Memphis shot 42% from the field. This was all about Timberswolves blowing 2 20 point leads and KAT choking. Memphis didn’t get back in this game by playing hard and dominating. They played just good while the Timberwolves just blew it as always.
They did dominate in the 4th took great shots and they were on a roll and Timberwolves defense this not step up. So it's both.
That grizz D tho
@@thisistheway3812 Timberwolves defense is horrible. They were the 24th rated defense this year and the Grizzlies were the number 1 scoring offense. You are expected to do this. And the fact that you couldn't get it going until the 4th was disappointing with KAT not playing with foul trouble. But one thing good about Minnesota is the offense ranked number 2 and the fact that they couldn't keep a 20 point lead when their offense was rolling before and their offense got shutdown in the fourth was more of a meltdown by the Timberwolves than Memphis hustling.
Watching the game I wondered why Pat Bev was shooting more than KAT
perk right on KAT he is who we thought he is and thats edwards francise
I think Anthony edwards gonna take that place as the franchise player real soon . I know edwards can be streaky and Kat better . But Kat is soft idc 4 shot attempts shows softness and lack confidence and I don’t want to hear about double teams , Embid and Jokic get double most of the time and they still produce
He might. But right now KAT and Pat Bev are the face of the franchise.
@@eliasnordin3979 pat bev not the face 😂 he just got there . But he does help
Perk, Stephen A and JJ Reddick need to be the permanent crew for First Take.
i almost thought Perkins said "they play a gender free basketball"
Thats what i heard. What did he say actually?
@@varocardenas79 "agenda free" lol he took me out for a second with that one 🤣🤣🤣
KAT was always the issue. But they made andrew wiggins the scapegoat
pat bev is unfortunately our best player
I am not a Grizzlies or Timberwolves fan but Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards are ballers and both teams are on a come up I will keep saying that. I think this will be a 7 game series. I agree with Big Perk, the Grizzlies took this game. Timberwolves blew a big lead yo. I agree with Stephen A. to it's about both teams. Yo Charles Barkley called the Timberwolves dumb that's wild. 😄 Karl- Anthony Towns could ball
Ja be really talkn about perk “stay on that side”
Throw the Wolves franchise away.
How do you let a team get a 21-0 run or whatever and not call a timeout makes no sense
Even if the Warriors steal a game in Memphis whether it's Game 1 or 2, the Grizz are more than capable winning a game at the Chase Arena. They just won a game in an arena that sounded like the Roman Coliseum. That atmosphere was intense.
Yea ok Warriors in 4
But they’re inexperienced. GSW got true vets and ex champions…it’ll be a fight but I doubt they’ll beat GSW
Lol warriors in 5
Pat4Clippers just a last night you tweeted that the grizzlies were done for. Lmao your a big ol’ flip flopping jinx
"Next question" didn't irritate me near as much when he talked about drinking wine after the game.
The 1st run had nothing to do with Ja Morant tho. That's embarrassing. 17-0 run. 2nd run was just icing on the cake
And the sky is blue
I think KAT was drinkin wine b4 the game the way he played....
As a English black man.
Why do America's allow a sport journalist to be prominently in a sports conversation
Is Steven Adams injured??? He hasn’t been out there
They changed the game plan
KAT is acting like he is a lock in Hall of Fame, u had 8 points dude have some self-awareness
I think it was both Memphis was hot and had great defense. But the Wolves in the 4th could not hit wide open shots and the Grizzlies could not be stopped.
a loss like tht will lose u a whole series its over
Twolves coach was shook...no timeout on a 21-0 run lol
he really doesnt seem like a great coach lately.
even the 2K AI would call a timeout. that’s just malpractice.
Perk on the Memphis wagon right now (anybody but warriors 🙄) WHO will he jump to after Dubs take the grizzlies? 🤔 Oh, & perk it is not fair to say the Joker & the Nuggets are basically garbage, that’s BS. ✌🏽
I'm still processing what happened
Perk does make some valid points
if it's true that he should be blamed then it would be because he was not contributing to winning plays, not just plays where he scores. watch the tape.
Lmao Kat thought he was russ saying next question
Stephen A " I disagree with you but I don't disagree with what you said" Smith
as a DOTA player we call what the coach did a 322
Molly 😍😍
I think Pat Bev taught KAT to be all talk HAHAHA
Carry on
You know when Stephen a bouta baptize you lol. He gon start off with that “he’s a good brother”
kat´s westbrookin it^^. he may have no expectations too?
I guess a grizzly bear beats a wolf.
Perk how was this not about the timberwolves collapse? It’s almost shocking you could say it was all about Memphis with a straight face lol
We in Minnesota now
So Jimmy B was right about KAT being soft.
They told Perk to say grizzlies comeback imo
Time for T-Wolves to trade Kat for some picks and a center. Start building around Edwards, it's his team now. And for Pete's sake, WAIVE PAT BEV! He is a distraction.
"We in Minnesota now"
FYI, the Grizzlies will have homecourt advantage over the Warriors in the next round. And they beat the Warriors once in San Francisco. The Warriors don't play in The Roaracle any more. Nearly unbeatable in 2016 only to choke the last two..
Assuming both teams will move on (GS most likely will)
you’re taking one good season by memphis and completely disregarding 5 straight finals runs by the core in GS. lay off the weed bro
Pat4Clippers by next friday you’ll be back on the warriors wagon. Your flip flopping by the day now. Aren’t you embarrassed of your jinxing ways?
KAT was thinking about his pink moscato
Typical for a Minnesota sports team. That's why many of us Minnesotans don't get excited when our teams make the playoffs. It's predictable year after year after year. Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Timberwolves... 😖
Stephen never gives the grizzlies enough credit. Dude is blind
Yeah that was a choke job by the Wolves
KAT was feeling himself trying to ne like Patrick but hasn't won 🏆
How have y’all not talked about the Mavs yet?? Smh they talking about ZION and every other game but the Mavs
Bro they haved talked about the jazz after every game stop complaining
@@moman3w did I say the Jazz?
Love the KAT slander
Perk is struggling to even speak here someone check on him lol
If you had to watch one show between first take and Keyshawn JWILL MAX .......Whats your pick?
not first take lol
Uh it’s a twolves collapse. Epic all time
Refs swang momentum from those trash calls they give ja
Perk With straigh face said that was More about the grizz than the wolves.. Bro! .. was about the wolves and a very bad coaching.
There not giving the ball to Kat
Kat you chew your own word 🤣🤣🤣🤣
