He went from a regional early morning radio host to a very early morning FS1 TV host. Its literally his job to be brash and say outlandish things.

Even the loudmouth national guys like Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless aren't even slightly suggesting Ant going anywhere else - and he's becoming one of the biggest topics of discussion among everyone.

Just enjoy it. Don't try to seek out negativity that just isn't there.

You do know a C-Section puts her out 6-8 weeks of carrying anything over 10 Pounds?

They could induce also.

As dominant a first half I've ever seen in a playoff game.

Amazing how different playoff BB is compared to the regular season. When the refs let them play our defense becomes absolutely suffocating.

SUFF-O-CATE-ING!!!!

That 2nd Qtr was ELECTRIC. ⚡️

Nice to see the refs eat the whistles there,
for a change.

Wow, so fun to watch.

Denver wasn't used to that kind of defense.....I thought Murray was going to cry.

What kind of suspension or fine should the Denver coach get for the altercation with the ref and Murray get for throwing a hot pack.

They are going to look back at the film and it will look even worse....the Wolves played really good aggressive defense.

They hopefully can turn it up on Friday....as Barkley said Jokic wasn't the best or maybe even the 2nd best player on the floor. KAT outplayed Jokic last night and Naz played really good defense to boot also.

Should have been a T on coach. Nothing more.

Murray should get suspended one game. You can't throw things at the ref.

The second quarter reminded me of the 1990's, back when TBS "superstation" carried the Bulls nationwide. First half, usually the Bulls would generate a lead. Third quarter, they'd completely shut down the other team and blow them off the court. Fourth quarter, Pippin & Jordan would be laughing on the bench, cheering on teammates, massive ice bags strapped onto their knees.

I suspect the Twolves had that defensive plan fully prepped, waiting for when the Gobert baby arrived.

The NBA highlights are hilarious. In the second quarter, for a big stretch they show *every* Nugget score — like, the only way the Nuggets could score was with a highlight worthy play. Meanwhile the Twolves get further and further ahead.

So much fun...

The funniest thing about TNT was the Barkley and Shaq exchange about the KAT foul/no foul. Players used to flop on Shaq so he hates that and Barkley said it was a foul on KAT. Denver does have some floppers.

Game was too late for me. I watched it this morning. Holy shit! What a beat down! Loved watching Denver lose it's composure and completely unravel in the 2nd quarter.

The Ant / Murray non call was strange. Looked to me like Murray fouled KAT and then KAT fouled Murray. Refs didn't know what to do, so they played on.

Can't believe how many times Joker got his shot blocked. They swarmed him every time down low.

Barkley is the second video up. Not sure how to get the clip direct. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There also was a couple plays where Murray just grabbed a couple of players by the waist when shooting shots. Jaden was held on one of the instances.....(Murray) he must be confused what is good defense versus a foul.

I just don't see the Denver coach playing the tape.....just damn good defense; nothing to blame the refs on.

I like the part of what Kenny the Jet and Barkley said. I remember really good defenses with 2-3 short guys...the Wolves have Conley who is short but everyone else has so much length.
