Jamal Crawford was terrific. Very low key but well spoken and detailed. Barkley brings great humor and comradery with the group but J.C. needs to be given a platform somewhere at TNT or NBA Network.
it's like a great band. If you remove Keith Richards from the RS the band wont be the same or John Lenon from the Beatles. This show must have all these four Palookas to be what it is and we love.
I like Jamal a lot, but this show is rarely funny without Chuck-- I suspect bc he's cracking everyone up even when they're not on the air. Just a different vibe...
I agree! 90% of ex-players come off as awkward and tend to either chat over people or can't work their way in naturally. Crawford was great, didn't step on any toes, great insight, and especially provided a nice perspective of someone who has recently played. Hope to see him more often
AD had only 6 rebounds in 34 minutes, Melo had only 3 rebounds in 28 minutes, Howard had only 1 rebound in 10 minutes. Randle had 15 rebounds in 34 minutes...
Westbrook steals rebounds thats why. AD atleast tries to play defense. Russ gets most of his boards because he straight up just leaves his guy 3 seconds early to go get it.
Jamal Crawford has real gravitas, whatever he says is easy to respect because of how knowledgeable, experienced and reasonable he is. Seeing him play and now listening to his analysis makes it clear why he was so beloved by his fellow players and by the fans when he was playing.
It might has something to do with him playing Center more so this season, the position he is now forced to play on. Don't think he ever liked playing it and probably is uncomfortable at the Center position, affecting his production. Sad thing is that the Lakers apparently 'need' him to play Center this season. Sure doesn't help when you're an injury prone player as well.
Shaq just called it and I hope Shannon Sharp, Mumble Mouth Perkins, Chris Broussard heard Him say When this Laker team was put together it was ohhhhs and aaaahs and The Jet said Now it's just ahhhh's. If the Lakers are at the 6th seed or lower they are going out in the first round of the playoffs. Play in or not which would be worse for them.
Technically, Perk doesn't mumble because he is a "mumble mouth" (i.e., in other words he suffers from a mechanical deficit in the speaking apparatus and associated structures...), he mumbles because he is greened-out.
whats funny is there was a way la could of been stacked without trading for russ...if they don't trade for russ they could of kept schroder caruso drummond(hes better than dj and would let dwight to rest more for the playoffs) kept trezl kuz and kcp and added monk melo maybe nunn wayne and both rondo and dwight back and kept tht to go with davis bron..now thats a title team ...because tht schroder drummond caruso were their free agents none of them would of left cause you can go over the cap to sign guys and they would of taken less...dwight monk melo wayne all signed for low...nunn signed for a little more but 5 mill is worth it for a guy in his prime who can eat regular season minutes up for you without being bad
@@razkable Demar Derozan wanted to play in LA for a lot less money than he makes in Chicago also they could've traded for Lowry. I mean they could've gotten pretty good if they didn't go for the Russ trade so LA were going to keep a lot of their pieces. A starting 5 of Lowry , Derozan , Bron , Ad , Dwight seems legit or replace Dwight with some guard like KCP and play AD 5. I think if they went this way they were going to be fighting with the Warriors for the 1st spot.
@Mr. Isaiah you know what's trash? Lakers defense, Caruso would've been a big help on that end, AD showing flashes of defense from time to time ain't enough.
If they went with Lonzo , Buddy & Caruso instead of Russ they’d be a championship team And moving forward Lonzo & AD could grow into a devastating duo for the Lakers future
Caruso is a HUGE loss for the Lakers they should have done everything to keep him. Hes in the 6th man of the year convo this year and his defense is top notch.
@@futurekillerful I disagree the reason tnt is so good is because of those 4 they have crazy chemistry and replacing Kenny with J who was good would just be a bad idea

The problem with the Lakers is a culmination of the past couple of years and allowing Lebron to dictate the roster to his liking. There were a lot of good role players and developing young stars that were sent packing so that Lebron could have his pick of comfort players around him. Now it's come back to bite them.
It's the same thing that happened in Cleveland. They're finally digging themselves out of the hole now. They traded countless draft picks and talent to build around a 37 yr old star who starting to look old.
I watched the Knicks beat the bucks at home and was just blown away by their consistency. Derrick rose rose to the occasion in the second half to inspire his team to win, and we are talking about a 6th man in his 30's supposedly past his prime.
The media doesn’t want intelligent and articulate black analysts to be on TV sport shows…. Look at Kendrick Perkins 🙄….there’s no way KB should be a sports analyst and Jamal Crawford is not…
Bron is washed and gives 20% effort most of the time unless it's a play that gets him a stat. It's a wrap. This team ain't good enough to carry Bron through reg season. He'll have to contribute, and I'm not sure he's up to the task anymore.
@@user-gc1wj8tt2p Good point but imo I think Lebron, Wade and Bosh worked way better than Lebron, Westbrook and AD. Mainly because of Westbrook, he throws the whole thing off.
Ppl keep saying this but the only one that doesn't fit is Westbrook, the rest are mediocre role players that could fit almost anywhere or borderline useless players that should have retired 2 seasons ago.
For lakers fans i have a question...when you guys *hypothetically* fire vogel who do you guys see coming in and fixing this team you would still have to figure out how you play russ with LBJ and no coach that has been in the league is putting up with russ they can't make moves at the deadline it's looking bad
They gotta figure it out. Plain and simple. Firing the coach won't help at all lol. Just like the 2011 Heat team or 2015 Cavs team. They gotta figure it out.
I would still like to see Westbrook lead the 2nd unit off the bench just to see if that could work. Just have him reck havoc out there with the 2nd unit while Lebron or AD rests
Yeah I totally agree like not like be like the sixth man cuz it doesn’t really matter right he still gonna be in the closing lineup regardless and I thjnk that it would maybe help keep the lakers afloat when bron and AD rest if he runs with the second unit more
What, with his woeful shooting, terrible decision making, non existent defence and turnovers ? It's alright though he'll get his triple doubles which are meaningless empty stats but good for his ego. Guy isn't a winner and never will be with the way he plays and doesn't adapt.
its such a pleasure watching you guys but everytime I see your old faces makes me think how it's all gonna end probably soon and that makes me really sad. but that, in return makes me appreciate seeing you on the show still even more. EJ🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Reasons: 1. Father Time has caught up to Lebron. 2. AD is overrated. He underachieved during his time with the Pelicans. 3. Russ 4. DH and Rondo are way past their prime. 5. Other teams simply got better and have better chemistry.
Blame LeGM for that team and this one as well. Knowing the type of system he likes to play in I don't know why he gets players that don't fit the system. Everyone knew Westbrook would be a horrible fit being a ball dominant guard that shoots low percentage from 3. And they traded away their depth and defense to get him.
Nice to see Jamal Crawford back , unfortunately He’s pretty much done in the league but I would love to see him be a NBA on TNT analyst which would be a great fine addition
Any fool who even thinks the Lakers are title contenders this year and bets on them winning the title deserves to lose their money. James and Davis got really lucky with that bubble championship, but we all knew that their run as serious contenders ended long ago. They won't even make it out of the play-in this time.
It’s simple. Lebron is constantly hurt, and the rest of the team is mostly aging players who aren’t as good as they used to be. They also play in a VERY tough conference.
lakers have 1 meaningful win this year..vs the hornets by 3 at home...their win in ot by 3 at home vs a butler/oladipo less heat team does not mean anything even without lebron....thats two stars on their books salary wise that missed most of that game of the whole game in victor's case...they beat the grizzlies as well by 3 at home but meh that team is inconsistent
it's laughable the amount of so-called fans who pile on Russ. Even the dude getting a triple double you'll be down on him for. Maybe you should watch Netball instead?
Russell played a great game wit his scoring & tempo vs NYK. THT can't afford to be inconsistent when LBJ isn't playing & some of Melo shots were contested & bad shots. I felt like we should've won this game but Quickly was the reason we lost this game. Came in the 4th & was the spark for NYK. Still alot of season left onto Indy LAL
Lakers lose cause they don't have chemistry. AD seems like the future of the lakers. Bron is inconsistent and WB is just triple double man with stat padding. Triple doubles are honestly the most overrated stat in basketball.
Some players seem like they will translate well to TV... but for some reason I wouldn't have expected Jamal to do so well this night. His commentary was so smooth and right on.
5:57 - "I thought you talking about the Dicks too". I can't be the only one that heard this. Also, we know what the Lakers' identity is. "Give the ball to Russ so he can turn it over". And "Carmelo please shoot us back into games".
What's really scary is that everyone forgot about curry and klay in that system in Golden State is virtually unstoppable even before KD the their system is really what got KD those rings it was just perfect that he was a top 5 player but even before that curry and klay we're still the best backcourt that ever graced basketball so let's be real I believe LeBron might just be the greatest if he literally builds systems with role players and wins titles or goes to the finals that's amazing I Q and team development do I don't think this losing will last long
Well yeah, every year they have different players come in to compliment LeBron without having chemistry and years to build. Stop signing all these 1 year deals with players and build a actual team.
Real question, I’m not trying to be ignorant but does it matter? I mean if he’s really in charge then it doesn’t matter who the coach is if he’s just running the team
I live in rancho cucamonga California and sometimes you can't watch a game cause it's not available in your area. So I was about to watch the lakers game and cause I have spectrum live TV, I have the lakers channel but I wanted to watch it on tnt cause I wanted to watch the four guys. I got tnt and it said cannot watch in your area. I got so disappointed because these four guys always make you laugh so much, at least me.
But I thought LeBron fans dubbed LBJ the GOAT and he's going to win it all with Carmelo, AD, Russ and company. Nothing pleases Lakers fans or LeBron fans. It's like a rich guy who has everything but still complains.
Mannn this is crazy. All the young players that used to be on the Lakers…. Ball, Randle, Caruso, Clarkson are all starting to prosper. Now we’re stuck with this… 🤦♂️
@@KingJames023 For what he did over the years. Tampering, joining a superteam, (beating down my Raptors), etc.. It's about time some legitimacy kick in.
@@KingJames023 LeBron creating super teams, playing through an easy eastern conference when other teams from 2012-2017 were riddled with injuries, his constant tampering of trying to recruit players under contract, the list goes on. Stop looking at LeBron as a God. He's an aging player and no one can play the game at 40 like they did when they were 20 and please don't compare Tom Brady having success in his mid-40s playing 18 some odd games in the regular season to LeBron playing 70+. Father time is catching up and once the injuries continue to mount that's when he will call it a career. Heck of a career, but he's not the GOAT, Michael Jordan is.
Rondo, Melo and AD should always be on the floor together even at least 2 out of the 3. And not Westbrook with these guys he can just get all his layups and 2’s with other players.
thats why harden was so important for the thunder in 2011 and 2012..he took russ off ball and let him sit a little more on the bench when he got tired....kd russ harden would of worked but otherwise russ is a loose canon...kd was the perfect player for him to play with...but he was the worst for kd to play with...
I don't think LeBron can take this LA to finals, they're too old and slow, they can't defend, even Davis doesn't look bouncy right now. They probably getting tired catching up Westbrook running so fast all around, in the 4th they don't have energy left.

Jamal crawford needs to be on a team coaching staff
Good to see Jamal Crawford man him and Nate Robinson are the main reason I became a Knicks fans. One of the nastiest handles of all time.
Any fool who even thinks the Lakers are title contenders this year and bets on them winning the title deserves to lose their money. James and Davis got really lucky with that bubble championship, but we all knew that their run as serious contenders ended long ago. They won't even make it out of the play-in this time.
Lakers without Lebron is just the Pelicans with AD.
J-Crossover was great on the show. Hope they bring him back!
Jamaal Crawford is so eloquent, really cool to watch in the show
It’s simple. Lebron is constantly hurt, and the rest of the team is mostly aging players who aren’t as good as they used to be.
They also play in a VERY tough conference.
It always amazes me that so many NBA players in post game interviews never have eye contact with the interviewer. A bit disrespectful where I'm from
Lakers: we're here for the championship.
Westbrook: Don't care. I'm here for triple-doubles.
lakers have 1 meaningful win this year..vs the hornets by 3 at home...their win in ot by 3 at home vs a butler/oladipo less heat team does not mean anything even without lebron....thats two stars on their books salary wise that missed most of that game of the whole game in victor's case...they beat the grizzlies as well by 3 at home but meh that team is inconsistent
it's laughable the amount of so-called fans who pile on Russ. Even the dude getting a triple double you'll be down on him for. Maybe you should watch Netball instead?
Westbrook’s the only reason Lakers didn’t lose by 40
WOW…Jamal Crawford looks and sounds PERFECT! So sharp and concise. I’m truly impressed
Russell played a great game wit his scoring & tempo vs NYK. THT can't afford to be inconsistent when LBJ isn't playing & some of Melo shots were contested & bad shots. I felt like we should've won this game but Quickly was the reason we lost this game. Came in the 4th & was the spark for NYK. Still alot of season left onto Indy LAL
Crawford got a smooth and cool style to his analysis
Lakers lose cause they don't have chemistry. AD seems like the future of the lakers. Bron is inconsistent and WB is just triple double man with stat padding. Triple doubles are honestly the most overrated stat in basketball.
Russ gets too much hate hes been the only bright spot recently
Hes was the future of the pelicans too
triple doubles the most overrated stat in basketball... so basicaly you don't basketball
Jamal speaking sense, and he got that tone. Good addition.
Finally Kenny said some interesting things, he went to the point.
JC every word he says makes sense! Really good analyst!
You can't have Melo and defense on the same team.
He actually been solid at times on that end the defense isn’t on Melo
Same way u can't have Westbrook on ur team and have rings
You really trying to blame Melo ?! …. Melo been solid
Some players seem like they will translate well to TV... but for some reason I wouldn't have expected Jamal to do so well this night. His commentary was so smooth and right on.
As Kenny said success comes from stability. The lakers have no stability or team identity.
Great analysis by Jamal Crawford let's get it look forward to more
AD was the tallest and most skilled player out there and he only gets 6 rebounds? This is who LeBron trusts?
he is inconsistent this season since he now got a fragile legs he got from injury last season
Great great take from Kenny. Shout out to Jcross💙
Where was Chuck?
Jamal Crawford seems natural. I would like to see more of him, commentating and analyzing.
5:57 - "I thought you talking about the Dicks too". I can't be the only one that heard this.
Also, we know what the Lakers' identity is. "Give the ball to Russ so he can turn it over". And "Carmelo please shoot us back into games".
I love Chuck, but I’ve been enjoying Jamal Crawford on the panel as well. One of my favourite player growing up
What's really scary is that everyone forgot about curry and klay in that system in Golden State is virtually unstoppable even before KD the their system is really what got KD those rings it was just perfect that he was a top 5 player but even before that curry and klay we're still the best backcourt that ever graced basketball so let's be real I believe LeBron might just be the greatest if he literally builds systems with role players and wins titles or goes to the finals that's amazing I Q and team development do I don't think this losing will last long
why jamal crawford so well spoken 😂👏🏽 definitely an OG
Well yeah, every year they have different players come in to compliment LeBron without having chemistry and years to build. Stop signing all these 1 year deals with players and build a actual team.
It’s so obvious but 🤷
Jamal needs to be on the show more. Well spoken, intelligent and the best 6th man. Gotta be TNT’s first guy off the bench.
They need to make a fifth seat for Jamal
Jamal Crawford has coach vibes when he speaks. Excited to see what the future holds for him.
lebron should fire Vogel, the lakers has no strategy, players aren’t moving at all
LeGM
I stole Vogel's play book, it was mostly empty, just a few grocery lists 😯 ua-cam.com/video/cddSY9B0u_w/v-deo.html
Real question, I’m not trying to be ignorant but does it matter? I mean if he’s really in charge then it doesn’t matter who the coach is if he’s just running the team
Vogel is doing exactly what he was required to do, obey LeBron, credit goes to LeBron when Lakers win, take all the blame when the Lakers lose.
@@asc8048 that's a great question. LeBron likes coaches with no authority because LeBron is the authority ✅
The franchise and team identity points made by Kenny was nice👍🏾
Can't watch this without Chuck
Jamal is perfect for this type of forum, super bright, high BB IQ, charisma.
You ever notice when lebron wants a coach gone his inner circle don’t play no good and lose winnable games till coach is gone
I live in rancho cucamonga California and sometimes you can't watch a game cause it's not available in your area. So I was about to watch the lakers game and cause I have spectrum live TV, I have the lakers channel but I wanted to watch it on tnt cause I wanted to watch the four guys. I got tnt and it said cannot watch in your area. I got so disappointed because these four guys always make you laugh so much, at least me.
But I thought LeBron fans dubbed LBJ the GOAT and he's going to win it all with Carmelo, AD, Russ and company. Nothing pleases Lakers fans or LeBron fans. It's like a rich guy who has everything but still complains.
Mannn this is crazy. All the young players that used to be on the Lakers…. Ball, Randle, Caruso, Clarkson are all starting to prosper. Now we’re stuck with this… 🤦♂️
Oh well that’s what you wanted
@@troybradley2575 what I wanted was to develop the young core not this.. this is what everyone else was hyping about
Meh who else miss chuck?
Especially for that bloody incident, I want to see Chuck reaction
Kenny proving why he's on that show.been a while
Evan the jet Fournier
I like the insights Jamal Crawford adds to the team.
I feel this is LeBron James' karma. Ever since LeBron became more injury prone, players aren't scared of him anymore.
Karma for what?? 🤣🤣
@@KingJames023 For what he did over the years. Tampering, joining a superteam, (beating down my Raptors), etc..
It's about time some legitimacy kick in.
@@KingJames023 LeBron creating super teams, playing through an easy eastern conference when other teams from 2012-2017 were riddled with injuries, his constant tampering of trying to recruit players under contract, the list goes on. Stop looking at LeBron as a God. He's an aging player and no one can play the game at 40 like they did when they were 20 and please don't compare Tom Brady having success in his mid-40s playing 18 some odd games in the regular season to LeBron playing 70+. Father time is catching up and once the injuries continue to mount that's when he will call it a career. Heck of a career, but he's not the GOAT, Michael Jordan is.
@@nicksirju8717 tampering? When did he do that? Superteam? Warriors are the superteam not Bron's team
Darth Vader Warriors we’re built through drafting. Lakers just the Warriors jv south squad
Jamal Crawford is a nice addition to the show; obviously chuck is top tier, but he’s a nice fill in for sure. Very well spoken
Start Rondo!!!! Westbrook and Melo can lead the second unit
Agreed, Rondo is playing better than Curry this year.
Rondo, Melo and AD should always be on the floor together even at least 2 out of the 3. And not Westbrook with these guys he can just get all his layups and 2’s with other players.
More Jamal Crawford please!!
The thing about Russell Westbrook is that he only knows one style of play, thats the Russ way. That's how it's always been.
thats why harden was so important for the thunder in 2011 and 2012..he took russ off ball and let him sit a little more on the bench when he got tired....kd russ harden would of worked but otherwise russ is a loose canon...kd was the perfect player for him to play with...but he was the worst for kd to play with...
@@razkable facts
Never paid too much attention to Jamal Crawford..but could anyone else listen to this guy analyze and talk basketball forever.
Wrong Jamal. But I hear ya, I love jc’s analyis
@@laz0rama crawford my bad lol
I don't think LeBron can take this LA to finals, they're too old and slow, they can't defend, even Davis doesn't look bouncy right now. They probably getting tired catching up Westbrook running so fast all around, in the 4th they don't have energy left.
Shaq commentary getting better
Kenny has an excuse for everything, can’t take a joke for real
Jamal “speaks so well”. Reminds me of the Chris rock bit.
Kobe rolling over in his grave... Lebron is pathetic 🤣🤣 104th best on ESPN, might as well be.
Pathetic but has accomplished more than you ever will in your lifetime. What does that make you?
LeBron lebubble champion😂
@@christian3050 we got a bronsexual right here
@@jamesmadison4579 ... Yes @Christian is definitely one of those lol
Jamal Crawford sounded like such a natural.
