(01:11):
have the Eastern Conference Finals Game two tonight. Our guy
Max Good is going to join us. Longtime coach, he's
been a like me at Division one head coach. He's
been a head coach at Maine Central Institute when they
were the best prep school in the country. And we
bring him in for our Boston Celtics analysis as the
Celtics just found a way to win in Game one.
(01:35):
Wait to hear what Charles Barkley had to say about
the WNBA and Joe Varden's going to join us as
he covers the NBA for the Athletic We'll find out
who's gonna be the next head coach in Cleveland as
the Cavs seem to have a pretty good year and
yet Dan Gilbert still pulled the plug on the bicker
Staff era. But let's start with last night. Last night,
the Dallas Mavericks end up holding off the Minnesota Timbolves
(02:00):
to take a one game to none series lead. Here's
Luka Doncik talking about what got him going in.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The fourth quarter, Well, got you roll on offensively in
the fourth I just said to him, said, you know,
we got to win this game. I gotta be way
better because three quarters I didn't play good. So I
just came into fourth, get to my spot and led
the team to win.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Competitive greatness Can he be great when greatness is called upon?
And I understand that Luca has not gotten past the
Western Conference finals. I understand that we have not seen
him in an NBA finals, so we don't see him
as a champion. We see him as somebody. Even going
back to the Thunder series, remember he missed that free
throw at the end of Game four that could have
tied the game. But Luca did was a part of
(02:48):
a European Championship with Slovenia, he was the MVP, and
a FIBA Championship with I think Real Madrid when he
was nineteen years old. He has that in him. And
while we're sitting there thinking to ourselves, and it still
may happen that this is the series where Anthony Edwards
(03:09):
really does put himself in that elite conversation, you know,
it's the Anthony Edwards takeover. Maybe it still happens. It's
only game one, but if you watched last night's game
and you think Anthony Edwards was the best player on
the floor, I would ask you to go and get
your eyes adjusted. Now, look, Luca, he was actually a
(03:31):
minus nine by his own admission, didn't play well through
three quarters, but he ends up with thirty three points,
eight assists, six rebounds, three steals, a block shot, and
a hard fought three point win against the Minnesota Temberwolves.
(03:51):
I mean, he is literally everything in that fourth quarter
you could hope he could be. And thanks to Kyrie
Irving who got him there, and Kyrie didn't he hit
any threes, they end up pulling off the win, pulling
out the win. Here's Luca on the team defense and
pace the play.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I think our defense could be way better. I think
we played today good defense, but we can be way better.
And then with our price, you know we've been last year.
Our point of view, I mean in the preseason was
to move to move the ball faster, play with space,
and I think we've been doing that fun.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Here's Jason Kidd, the head coach of Dallas Mavericks, talking
about Kyrie Irving, who was incredible in the first half.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
What was Kyrie doing in the first half?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Jason went the twenty four foster kind of set the tone.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
He was being Kai, you know, just picking the spots,
using you know, the different places on the floor to attack.
I thought he did a great job of helping everybody relax,
you know, on the offensive end, and then I thought
defensively he was competing. We got to do a better
job of guarding a three point line. But I thought
(04:57):
Kai was big for us in that first half, got
us off to a good start and we were only
down three and we just felt like we didn't play well.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, you know, it's it is really interesting that you
can can you survive when you're not playing well to
allow your best player to ultimately play well. But I
also think a good portion of it is the matchups.
And this is such a different matchup, different matchup for
(05:27):
the Wolves, a different matchup obviously for the Pacers, for
the Pacers, for the for the Mavericks, and that's what
gives us a different outcome. Then, Hey, the Timboleves took
down the defending champion, so the Timbolves have to be
the best team. The Timboleves have better depth than they're
going to beat the Dallas Mavericks. And this is just different,
you know, It's just different. And I also think that
(05:49):
Anthony Edwards as good as he was defensively, going back
to their last series and even in their first series
against the LA Lakers, it's totally totally different when you're guarding,
and he got matched up sometimes with Kyrie Irving, who
you struggle to keep up with that speed and quickness.
(06:10):
You know, every defensive player doesn't guard every position well.
And Anthony Edwards, who's a scorer, been trying to really
buy in on defense. I think it's hurting his offensive game.
And I also think that with Kyrie when you get
cross match there, that didn't work out well. But the
I don't know. The bigger takeaway to me is I've
been trying to tell everybody how good Luka Doncik is.
(06:32):
People in the NBA know how good Luka Doncik is.
My only question is do now people at home understand
how good he is. And maybe this is it's a
lot like the the size of NBA players, you can't
truly appreciate it until you sit courtside. Maybe it's the
speed of the NFL that you can't really appreciate unless
(06:55):
you go and sit close in an NFL game. Maybe
it's the physicality of soccer, like soccer at a high
level professional soccer, international soccer, unbelievably physical. But she can't
really see it unless or you're deep dive in there,
you played it yourself, or you're really really close to
the game. I don't know if it's case. He's wearing
(07:17):
black shoes, which make you look slower. He isn't particularly
fleet of foot like, it is not a lot of
cut on his arms, and all of a sudden he
ends up with thirty three points and eight assists in
six rebounds. But the Luca takeover is for real, And
whether you don't like him because he complains about every call,
or you don't like him because it looks like he's
(07:39):
moving in slow motion. And we grew up thinking that
Michael Jordan jumping over small buildings with the single bound
was the only way to be a great basketball player.
And the reality is that though Tracy McGrady, for example,
could score, could jump, I could score and could jump
way higher than Luka Dancik, Luca's a better basketball player.

(08:35):
Don't call welcome in this snug Gallep show. It's Fox
Sports Radio. We got game two tonight and uh should
be should be kind of interesting, you know, especially considering
we're just trying to figure out how much carry over
there is from game one to game you know, from
game one on that that's really what it is. And
(08:58):
it's you know, it's one of those things where the
one that got away, and we could I could sit
here and act like I know that it's gonna affect
the pacers. I don't. I think it does. I think
it really rears its head when you get late into
a game if it's close. But I don't know if
it affects them for the positive for the negative. You know,
(09:21):
there's an expression I like to credit myself, but I'll
be honest, there's a chance somebody else said it, but
I kind of think I brought it to the table.
It goes like this, you got to feel the pain
before you taste the champagne. You have to go through
the traditional progress of losing before you win. Now that's
(09:42):
usually for a series, for a team, for a level,
to get the NBA Finals, to win a ch MBA championship.
But there is something to in this series that can
the Pacers feel that pain of the Game one loss
when they essentially had it won and still taste the
champagne of winning this series. I don't think. I don't
(10:02):
think they can. I think that was a series changing
loss that could have been a series changing win. Usually
the better team, and the Celtics, by all metrics, are
a better team in the regular season. Usually the better
team can struggle game one, but game two they get
their legs. And if this Celtics team gets his legs
in Game two, this series is kind of a rap.
(10:24):
But I also don't don't particularly know. Don't know because
sometimes some guys get super motivated by it and they're
not in their feelings and they take out that anger
on the opposing team. Or we'll get Mack with Max
good in a moment. You know, there's lots of discussion
about the eighteen game NFL season. I just I got
(10:48):
to continue to point out that one of the most
frustrating things in life is when you have a deal done,
signed and delivered and then somebody goes man, that deal
that I I agreed to stinks. Okay, so you can
process that by your next deal, not making that mistake.
But you hear former NFL players in some current ones
(11:09):
talking about eighteen games. This is just lining the pocket
the pockets of the owners. Like we do, realize that
the contracts of players are spiking up, spiking up, and
they're doing so because there's more revenue. And they're more
revenue because there's more games. There's more games because they
mutually agreed in a collective baring agreement to play more games.
(11:33):
It's not I have little sympathy. I have zero sympathy
for NFL players playing eighteen games zero. And I have
zero sympathy for the idea of lifetime healthcare insurance for
former players. One ridiculously expensive and two unless the NFLPA
(11:57):
is willing to sit out games when the con when
the contract is over to get their own way, what
are we doing. You negotiated this deal. It's a ten
year deal, and now you think it's a bad deal
because you negotiated a couple of years ago. That one
doesn't stand up to me.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Hey Dan, Hey, Dan?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Would Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Was your uh? Were your ears ringing between ten am
and noon today? Dan Barr?
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, Jason McIntyre was filling in for the Herd today
and he had your new partner on the weekends, Carry
Rhodes on the show and they had this exchange.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Dan Byer, Great Golfer by the way, is it good? Excellent?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
No, wonder golf all day last Sunday.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Now, I get it, Dan Byer, Great Golfer By the way,
have you loved maid golf chasing mc Yes?
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Yes I have. When not the Premiere Network's golf outing
of twenty nineteen, I believe yes. In the fall of
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Were you great that day?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
We won? Yes, us and the guys from Carshield.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Dan buy a great Golfer by the way, it was
me J.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Mack and the two guys from Carshield. We teamed up
and we won the event.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Did J Mack set up the camera so you could
film every stroke.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
There was no camera. It was It was a really
fun day. We had a really good time.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Dan Buy, a great golfer by the way, ended.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Up providing some good shots for the squad that brought
us home the title that day.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What's the most rewarding shot in a scramble that you
can provide for your team.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
It's funny because the best shot I ever hit in
a scramble was that day. We actually used my drive
on a par five and we used we hit our
second shots and I thinned one, but thank goodness I
did because it went about twenty yards further, rolled up
about a foot from the cup. I was a foot
(13:59):
away from having a two to on a par five.
So that the best shot that I've ever hit. That's
as probably as good as it's going to get. It's
even more rare than a hole in one would have
been if it would have went in.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
What do you think of the Scottie Scheffler video.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
I can't tell much from it, like there's either just
it's often the distance of where this incident took place.
I don't know what's going to happen. The mayor even
spoke again today, but the charges still stand. I have
a feeling it's going to go away at some point.
I think the last thing that the Louisville Police Department
(14:36):
wants is this to continue to be in the news,
which you know we talked yesterday and why they would
hold the press conference. And I don't know if we
were both right or both wrong, Doug, but I thought
that they had some maybe gotcha video to prove like
this is our this is our guy. All they did
was say, our guy didn't turn on his body cam.
(14:58):
We have punished him for that, and here's video that
you really can't tell what's going on. That's that's what
today was.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I think what they were trying to do is be
completely transparent, and an effort to be completely transparent, they
came across as like, I don't you kind of wasted
my time? Yes, that's how I felt about it, Like great,
thank you for sharing. Now I still I know less
and less now. I watched a video like five six times.
(15:29):
You know me, I'm a I like watching video. I
was hoping for something. I'm like, am I missing something?
Is there something here that that isn't aha? And the
answer is no. It was a noha instead of an Aha,
that was a terrible dad joke. That's what that was.
It's a Dog Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports. Ready,
let's welcome in. H He's the man, he's the myth,
(15:49):
he's the legend. He's Max Good, a long time college
head coach, assistant coach, legend in the prep school circuit.
And he joined us on the Doug Gottlieb Show on
Fox Sports Radio. Max, how are you?
Speaker 8 (16:04):
I'm doing fine, Doug? You doing?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm good. Do you have any players for me? That's
the that's the first thing I need to know. Do
you have any players for me?
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Well, Cooper Fly I know really well and his family
there are awesome people. But he's already going to do.
But I was just gonna say, instead of you being
on the radio show, you my ought to be out recruiting.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well, it can't be out recruiting. It's a dead period
right now, Max, But I appreciate that. But we but
we can. We can. We can be on the we
can be on the iPads and we can be on
the phones. We can be on the zooms, which I
which which I have been all day. Max Good, Jenny
us here on on the Doug Gottlieb show Max what
what went so wrong for the Celtics to put themselves
in that position where they had to come back the
(16:48):
other night.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Well, first of all, I think the Pacers have got
a nice team, and uh, they've got a kid that
Aaron was drafted by the Celtics in the first round
and he's had a chip on his shoulder because they
got rid of him to get Brogden. Now Brogden isn't
even with them, and he is an elite defender and
(17:14):
he really was getting after Tatum the other night. But
you know, if all these guys can play, there aren't
bad players in the NBA. Some are obviously better than others,
and there's a league. One of the Morris twins hadn't
even played hardly for a month and the other night
he went for thirty in the game. You know, not
(17:35):
the other night, but recently. You know, there's good players everywhere.
But I think the Patients have got a really nice
team and they play fast and they're hard to guard.
They're relentless. But as having said that, I think the
Celtics probably would be health to they had or Zingas obviously,
(17:57):
but injuries have been you know, they've been the beneficiary
of Celtics have almost every team they've played leading up
to this have had some major injuries. So it all
comes out in the wash.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yep, Doug got the show here on Fox Sports Radio
the end of the game. Who's to blame for the Pacers?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Well, I don't like the point blame, but you know,
they got a rookie. I believe he's a rookie. Took
the ball outside, and you know, I don't think if
the Pacers did a good job creating the lead to
get open. You know, I think even if the sie
alchem had caught that ball, he might have walked, or
he might have gone, you know, kept going out of
(18:40):
bounce even if he was able to unless he took
what jump stopped and he was going so fast, he
might have walked anyway. But you know, there were what
fifty two minutes and fifty eight seconds before that happened.
For the thing, you know, there are other things that
happened along the game. But people always want to play
the flame game or the you know on one side
(19:02):
and the hero game on the other. But you know,
at the end of the year, you probably have five
or six games. It's you shouldn't have won, and you've
lost five or six, that's you shouldn't have lost. Just
unfortunate that have happened in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Do you think the Pacers can shake off a loss
where they probably thought they had the game one in
order to and compete tonight, because you know how that
is max win. Like you have a game if you
feel like it's one right, ten seconds ago, three point lead,
good free throw, shoot, get the ball, then get fouled,
make two free throws, let's get out of here. You know,
(19:40):
but you lose that game. How hard is that to
come back from?
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I don't know. I remember two or three years ago
Marcus Smart, who was one of my favorite players and
still is, although I think Drew Holiday is you know,
the is probably as good, if not a little better player.
He's got beautiful countenance. You know, he never gets clustered,
he never shows frustration. He just plays. But you know
(20:11):
it's it's gonna be hard, but they got to dismiss
it someone way or another. They're gonna have to. I
think they're capable of beating Boston, though I surely do.
I just I'm not sold on the Boston. You know,
I think offensively, there's too much. I so too much
one on one and it's Tatum and Brown. They're both
(20:33):
very capable players. Obviously, Brown shot may eventually go down
in the animals is one of the biggest shots in
Celtic's history, the shot he made the other night. But
I don't know. I just hope it's a good game.
I hope it's a good game.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Okay, But you take me into Rick Carlisle's coaches locker room.
How do you get guys to not think about concern
themselves with the collapse the other night.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Well, you know, I don't know. That might be a
tough sell, but I think they really like playing for him.
They like the freedom he's giving them, they like the
face they're playing with. And you know, you look at
the plays that Holiday didn't go on Halliburton. I think
Halliburton came out the next day and said Holiday is
(21:23):
the best defender in the NBA. Now, I'm sure he
means in regard to guarding him, but you know, your
Holidays a handful. He's strong, and he's smart, and you
know he doesn't he just makes winning plays. And I
think you know they're professionals, they're professionals. I think they'll
(21:47):
bounce back.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I think they will, but I don't know they will.
You know, I think they will, but I don't know
they will.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Nobody knows they will. And of course the Celtics keep
wandering about Porzingis, and I think, to be honest with you,
the Celtics, you know, Pacers did a great job the
targeted Horford. And I love Horford. He just had a
game recently with like twenty three points and fifteen rebounds
(22:16):
in the playoffs. But you know, the Pacers really made
sure that on switches they got to him. And the
Celtics are playing all drop defense and they were giving
up the foul line jumps up shiackem. Really he doesn't
miss many of those.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No, no, he doesn't. Stug Ot show here on Fox
Sports Treaty. That's the voice of Max Good, long time
college head coach and of course college assistant and prep
school coaches, a legend in the basketball professional judges of
the Doug Gottlieb Show live atthetyraq dot com studios. Would
would you be okay with saying that if Larry Bird
(22:57):
came out today, he would have a lot of There
would be some attributes which are similar to Luca.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Now, look Bird was not at point guard Luca is,
but in this era you'd probably handle the ball better.
The point is that what Bird had was the ability
to get by you without you know, just being a
blur and to always get a shot off and always
be creative. And I think that's what Luca is. Is
that a fair parallel anyway?
Speaker 8 (23:28):
I think so Bird is. It's like pat Riley said,
he said, if I have to win the game, I
want Jordan to take the shot. If I want somebody
to shoot to save my life, it's going to be
Larry Bird. I think Larry Bird would be better in
today's game than he was when he played, because he'd
(23:49):
you know, he had kill the three point shot today.
That's why it's JJ Reddick saying that stuff about Bird
is kind of it's absurd, Really, Bird, I think I
would take Bird over Lebron, and I think it's not
it's foolish. Steven compare Jordan to Lebron. Jordan is so
(24:10):
much better and so much more competitive Tiger Woods and
Tiger Woods and Jordan are probably the two most competitive
athletes that I'm aware of. But Bird would be awesome
today in today's game.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
I agree, you can't speed speede Luca Stacy Augman is
one of my very best friends. I have the most
admiration in the world. What an honest, hard knows guy
he is. And I asked him once, I said, coach,
how good is John Morant? He said, Coach, he's good.
(24:50):
He's got a chance to be really good. This was
a couple of years ago. I called him about two
weeks later and I said, how good is he as
good as Luca? He said, Bail, No, it's Luca Lucas.
He said, Coach. He is a killer, you know, in
(25:10):
his own way. He is so dark competitive. And I said, well,
I know he's not tremendously fast. He said, Coach, he
doesn't have to be. He gets even with you here, beat,
he doesn't us sit by you if he gets even
with you. He is so strong and is so knowledgeable,
and and you know he's been playing important basketball, I
(25:32):
mean pressure pack basketball since he's probably thirteen or fourteen.
I think Luca donnots is. You know, he'll be a
first ballot Hall of Famer and he may end up
being one of the five or ten best players ever
played the.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Game Wow Max Max goods our guest here on Doug
Gatlib Show on Fox Sports Radio. Conversely, Anthony Edwards not
really efficient, seem to struggle some last night to really explode.
What's your take on the on the ant man, Well, I.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Really like him. I think he's a great two way player.
But I think people are getting way, way way ahead
of themselves saying he's the next Michael Jordan. I don't
think there'll ever be another Michael Jordan ever. I really don't.
And I thought there'd never be another Joker, and then
who's the guy that plays for Houston. He's got a
(26:22):
similar type game. He's a post players that.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Pronounce or whatever. But yeah, he's the Turkish player.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, he's got a similar style of the game. But
I just don't think Michael Jordan is so competitive and
he's psychotic and he's a sociopath. I mean. I talked
to Tom Kinsalski about him, and he said he came
up to five Star camp. He said he was they
were doing drills and he was the nicest kid in
(26:56):
the world. When they were doing drills. The first day
they played on the opening tip, he hit the guy
next to him in the throat with an elbow and
rendered him useless for both two more days after that,
he said, he is just so so so so competitive,
and you know he's he's he was fearless. I think
Jordan is firing away the best player that ever played,
(27:19):
and I don't. I think I think birds are bit
as good as Lebron.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Prime prime bird, Prime Bird. I would agree with you,
you know, I would absolutely agree with you, prime Bird.
Obviously the difference is that the longevity of time which
Lebron has played. Uh well, coach, thanks so much, coach,
thanks so much for join us. I can't get on
the road recruiting right now, but you can so go
(27:44):
bring me back some players, would you.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Okay, hey, you've got my number? Could you call me?
I wanted to talk to you about something on another issue, ironically.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Okay, have you have you got your whole staff?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
And this isn't.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Coach, coach, I do not and I will call you.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You're my guy. That's Max good. He's the best. Who
doesn't love who doesn't who doesn't love him? When he's
hitting me up to try and try and help him
with my staffing. Here live on National Radio.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Doug gottlib Show, Fox Sports Radio. Welcome in. Help you
having a great day? I don't know. I'm like Sam,
I love you, but we don't have to reinvent the
wheel here?
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Right? What's up?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
What are we reinventing?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
H you want to handle this, Jason, I've tried to off.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
The air, so maybe we need to take it on
the air. And I welcome Dan to do it too.
We have this discussion. You know, we've been doing bump
songs for a long time on the show. A lot
of them you brought over yourself, and then Ramos kind
of it in his own very much liked it. And
I've said to Sam could we please mix those in?
I know you like your own style, your own music,
(29:09):
but can we mix some of the old ones in?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And he said, can I give you the And like
this is good? This is like a what's the show meeting?
This is like a show meeting? Okay, yeah, very professional?
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Yeah, okay, do it?
Speaker 8 (29:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
What's wrong with the song?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
I just played?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, Because here's the thing we've been doing this show
for over fifteen years, and that doesn't mean that the
bumper music hasn't changed. Okay, but there's the reality to
how I want to do something. Is I want somebody
who has listened at maybe listening seven years ago, and
(29:45):
is scrolling around the dial and got into red a
car and presses the buttons, looks sing for sports radio.
They hear the bumper music that they're used to hearing,
they hear the voice that they're used to hearing. There's
a comfort in in it. You want to push to
be different, like Dan works really really hard at game time. Okay,
(30:07):
we have had game Time in some form or fashion
for fifteen plus years. Right, I want it to sound
sort of the same so that you can not listen,
you know, you get caught in a phone conversation and
you but you know what the Doug Gottlib show sound is,
and and and and it's it's not doing that.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
That was red hot Chili Peppers, I understand, And that
was called Taste the Pain.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
So you were talking about this.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Show trying to be clever and you're listening to the show.
I know the song my daughter Grace.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Is a huge fleet, So what's the issue, then I
didn't play some two minutes worth of this week, and it's.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Not necessarily an issue. An issue makes it as if
I got to send an email, we got to go
to HR of a meeting or whatever. It's a as
we progress going forward. I don't like to micromanage anybody.
I don't micromanage Jason. Jason doesn't micromanage me. Nobody micromanages you.
The philosophy that I like with this show is we
(31:13):
will continue to push the envelope. And again, what I
like in terms of small tweaks and changes is what
Dan does. And by the way, when Dan is going
to try something, you know what he does, Sam. He says,
I'm gonna try something here. What do you guys?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
So I'm supposed to bounce off you some song that's
been around for forty years.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Let's get to Dan BYRSA, this is game time.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
On the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
The other way we can do it is I can
just light it, write on a list of songs and
we do those as bumpers. That's I think what we're
working towards.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
And what he got Doug the game today is.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I feel a draft.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
All right, We're drafting all the songs. We don't like
that Sam is played over the last I still don't understand. No,
I'm kidding, we'll get wrong with the song. That's a
good song, great song. We are drafting what NBA player
would you take for the next ten years? Okay, for
the next ten years, Sam, because because you're in the
(32:25):
hot seat right now, you're actually getting picked Numero uno.
All right, yes, you get picked number one, then Doug,
then Jason, and then myself.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm gonna take Anthony Keatis.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
He actually thought he was going a different way. But
take Shade, gilgos Alixander, Okay, number one, s g.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
A, Okay, does Luca Dudgeon?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
All right, all right, so you've left me, uh maybe
Jordan or my pick. The pick that I'm going to
use Victor Wembanyama v W is what I call him.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's a really good pick.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
I am going to take Anthony Edwards. I do think
I'll say I'll say this, And there was a point
in Anthony edwards career and I don't know if it
was still in place in this twenty three twenty twenty
four season where his diet was a conversation on multiple
(33:35):
levels Karl Anthony Towns had talked about it in press conferences.
We had found out that he eats like twenty bags
of Chester hot fries in a week, and last night
and guarding Kyrie Irving and him getting as winded as
he was, I thought was, it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
See he's tremendous.
Speaker 8 (33:58):
He is he is.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
But I mean, you know, now, now's the point when
you could go to that next level that maybe there
are things that you have to end up changing. Fair enough,
fair fair, unfair.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Totally fair point, totally fairpoint.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
Next ten years, this is, this is, there's there's a
couple of ways that I've been thinking. I've got a
couple of candidates, and I'll bring them out, but I'm
just gonna say. I'm gonna say Yokic because I think
the next four will still be really really good top
(34:40):
level basketball. I don't know what I'm gonna get in years,
you know, five through ten, but the next four I
feel really really good about. So I would take Nikola
Jokic at five.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I'm wondering that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
I'm wondering why Dan the left this guy is it
because he's too old? I don't know, oh how old
is this guy? Uh tenth season? So Jannis isn't isn't
uh something you want for the next ten years? Does
that mean he's too old?
Speaker 8 (35:13):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 7 (35:15):
I'll say this, there's parts of Gianni's game that I
don't know if they'll ever get better. And I think
that Jokic is the more complete player. Uh So, okay,
I'll take you honest, okay, twenty nine years old?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Now, Uh you know, I was, I was, I was.
I was thinking about uh, oh man, what Memphis Grizzly
is always in trouble? What what Jah? I was thinking
about Jah for the next ten to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Let's put let's put a gun, cheer head, would you
still come on?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Sorry? I like butchered the line I've had for the
next ten to fifteen I think, Uh, but I'm gonna
go off board here you ready? Cooper flag, m Cooper flag.
And to people who say, well, you can't talk about yes,
I can. I just mentioned his name. He's also not
(36:17):
coming to play for us here at GreenPAK. Cooper.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
All right, Sam, your final pick, I'll take Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Interesting, solid, solid, I want there's no chance you'd actually
take him for the next ten years.
Speaker 7 (36:35):
I wondered if Halliburton was going to make this really.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yes, I don't think either of those guys are at
the level that we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
But that's you know, we're also talking growth in where
they could be. No, Jason Tatum, I.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Mean, Jason Tatum is a guy that that that that
that that is the guy probably missing the most.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
I considered Devin Booker, but yep, and I also considered
Paulo bang Caro.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I like peul Ban Crow. And that is game time.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
All right, coming up next to the Doug Gotlieb Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. First it was Lebron, although
then he equated it to his son, which is weird.

(01:11):
have the Eastern Conference Finals Game two tonight. Our guy
Max Good is going to join us. Longtime coach, he's
been a like me at Division one head coach. He's
been a head coach at Maine Central Institute when they
were the best prep school in the country. And we
bring him in for our Boston Celtics analysis as the
Celtics just found a way to win in Game one.
(01:35):
Wait to hear what Charles Barkley had to say about
the WNBA and Joe Varden's going to join us as
he covers the NBA for the Athletic We'll find out
who's gonna be the next head coach in Cleveland as
the Cavs seem to have a pretty good year and
yet Dan Gilbert still pulled the plug on the bicker
Staff era. But let's start with last night. Last night,
the Dallas Mavericks end up holding off the Minnesota Timbolves
(02:00):
to take a one game to none series lead. Here's
Luka Doncik talking about what got him going in.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The fourth quarter, Well, got you roll on offensively in
the fourth I just said to him, said, you know,
we got to win this game. I gotta be way
better because three quarters I didn't play good. So I
just came into fourth, get to my spot and led
the team to win.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Competitive greatness Can he be great when greatness is called upon?
And I understand that Luca has not gotten past the
Western Conference finals. I understand that we have not seen
him in an NBA finals, so we don't see him
as a champion. We see him as somebody. Even going
back to the Thunder series, remember he missed that free
throw at the end of Game four that could have
tied the game. But Luca did was a part of
(02:48):
a European Championship with Slovenia, he was the MVP, and
a FIBA Championship with I think Real Madrid when he
was nineteen years old. He has that in him. And
while we're sitting there thinking to ourselves, and it still
may happen that this is the series where Anthony Edwards
(03:09):
really does put himself in that elite conversation, you know,
it's the Anthony Edwards takeover. Maybe it still happens. It's
only game one, but if you watched last night's game
and you think Anthony Edwards was the best player on
the floor, I would ask you to go and get
your eyes adjusted. Now, look, Luca, he was actually a
(03:31):
minus nine by his own admission, didn't play well through
three quarters, but he ends up with thirty three points,
eight assists, six rebounds, three steals, a block shot, and
a hard fought three point win against the Minnesota Temberwolves.
(03:51):
I mean, he is literally everything in that fourth quarter
you could hope he could be. And thanks to Kyrie
Irving who got him there, and Kyrie didn't he hit
any threes, they end up pulling off the win, pulling
out the win. Here's Luca on the team defense and
pace the play.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I think our defense could be way better. I think
we played today good defense, but we can be way better.
And then with our price, you know we've been last year.
Our point of view, I mean in the preseason was
to move to move the ball faster, play with space,
and I think we've been doing that fun.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Here's Jason Kidd, the head coach of Dallas Mavericks, talking
about Kyrie Irving, who was incredible in the first half.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
What was Kyrie doing in the first half?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Jason went the twenty four foster kind of set the tone.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
He was being Kai, you know, just picking the spots,
using you know, the different places on the floor to attack.
I thought he did a great job of helping everybody relax,
you know, on the offensive end, and then I thought
defensively he was competing. We got to do a better
job of guarding a three point line. But I thought
(04:57):
Kai was big for us in that first half, got
us off to a good start and we were only
down three and we just felt like we didn't play well.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, you know, it's it is really interesting that you
can can you survive when you're not playing well to
allow your best player to ultimately play well. But I
also think a good portion of it is the matchups.
And this is such a different matchup, different matchup for
(05:27):
the Wolves, a different matchup obviously for the Pacers, for
the Pacers, for the for the Mavericks, and that's what
gives us a different outcome. Then, Hey, the Timboleves took
down the defending champion, so the Timbolves have to be
the best team. The Timboleves have better depth than they're
going to beat the Dallas Mavericks. And this is just different,
you know, It's just different. And I also think that
(05:49):
Anthony Edwards as good as he was defensively, going back
to their last series and even in their first series
against the LA Lakers, it's totally totally different when you're guarding,
and he got matched up sometimes with Kyrie Irving, who
you struggle to keep up with that speed and quickness.
(06:10):
You know, every defensive player doesn't guard every position well.
And Anthony Edwards, who's a scorer, been trying to really
buy in on defense. I think it's hurting his offensive game.
And I also think that with Kyrie when you get
cross match there, that didn't work out well. But the
I don't know. The bigger takeaway to me is I've
been trying to tell everybody how good Luka Doncik is.
(06:32):
People in the NBA know how good Luka Doncik is.
My only question is do now people at home understand
how good he is. And maybe this is it's a
lot like the the size of NBA players, you can't
truly appreciate it until you sit courtside. Maybe it's the
speed of the NFL that you can't really appreciate unless
(06:55):
you go and sit close in an NFL game. Maybe
it's the physicality of soccer, like soccer at a high
level professional soccer, international soccer, unbelievably physical. But she can't
really see it unless or you're deep dive in there,
you played it yourself, or you're really really close to
the game. I don't know if it's case. He's wearing
(07:17):
black shoes, which make you look slower. He isn't particularly
fleet of foot like, it is not a lot of
cut on his arms, and all of a sudden he
ends up with thirty three points and eight assists in
six rebounds. But the Luca takeover is for real, And
whether you don't like him because he complains about every call,
or you don't like him because it looks like he's
(07:39):
moving in slow motion. And we grew up thinking that
Michael Jordan jumping over small buildings with the single bound
was the only way to be a great basketball player.
And the reality is that though Tracy McGrady, for example,
could score, could jump, I could score and could jump
way higher than Luka Dancik, Luca's a better basketball player.

(08:35):
Don't call welcome in this snug Gallep show. It's Fox
Sports Radio. We got game two tonight and uh should
be should be kind of interesting, you know, especially considering
we're just trying to figure out how much carry over
there is from game one to game you know, from
game one on that that's really what it is. And
(08:58):
it's you know, it's one of those things where the
one that got away, and we could I could sit
here and act like I know that it's gonna affect
the pacers. I don't. I think it does. I think
it really rears its head when you get late into
a game if it's close. But I don't know if
it affects them for the positive for the negative. You know,
(09:21):
there's an expression I like to credit myself, but I'll
be honest, there's a chance somebody else said it, but
I kind of think I brought it to the table.
It goes like this, you got to feel the pain
before you taste the champagne. You have to go through
the traditional progress of losing before you win. Now that's
(09:42):
usually for a series, for a team, for a level,
to get the NBA Finals, to win a ch MBA championship.
But there is something to in this series that can
the Pacers feel that pain of the Game one loss
when they essentially had it won and still taste the
champagne of winning this series. I don't think. I don't
(10:02):
think they can. I think that was a series changing
loss that could have been a series changing win. Usually
the better team, and the Celtics, by all metrics, are
a better team in the regular season. Usually the better
team can struggle game one, but game two they get
their legs. And if this Celtics team gets his legs
in Game two, this series is kind of a rap.
(10:24):
But I also don't don't particularly know. Don't know because
sometimes some guys get super motivated by it and they're
not in their feelings and they take out that anger
on the opposing team. Or we'll get Mack with Max
good in a moment. You know, there's lots of discussion
about the eighteen game NFL season. I just I got
(10:48):
to continue to point out that one of the most
frustrating things in life is when you have a deal done,
signed and delivered and then somebody goes man, that deal
that I I agreed to stinks. Okay, so you can
process that by your next deal, not making that mistake.
But you hear former NFL players in some current ones
(11:09):
talking about eighteen games. This is just lining the pocket
the pockets of the owners. Like we do, realize that
the contracts of players are spiking up, spiking up, and
they're doing so because there's more revenue. And they're more
revenue because there's more games. There's more games because they
mutually agreed in a collective baring agreement to play more games.
(11:33):
It's not I have little sympathy. I have zero sympathy
for NFL players playing eighteen games zero. And I have
zero sympathy for the idea of lifetime healthcare insurance for
former players. One ridiculously expensive and two unless the NFLPA
(11:57):
is willing to sit out games when the con when
the contract is over to get their own way, what
are we doing. You negotiated this deal. It's a ten
year deal, and now you think it's a bad deal
because you negotiated a couple of years ago. That one
doesn't stand up to me.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Hey Dan, Hey, Dan?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Would Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Was your uh? Were your ears ringing between ten am
and noon today? Dan Barr?
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
No, Jason McIntyre was filling in for the Herd today
and he had your new partner on the weekends, Carry
Rhodes on the show and they had this exchange.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Dan Byer, Great Golfer by the way, is it good? Excellent?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
No, wonder golf all day last Sunday.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Now, I get it, Dan Byer, Great Golfer By the way,
have you loved maid golf chasing mc Yes?
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Yes I have. When not the Premiere Network's golf outing
of twenty nineteen, I believe yes. In the fall of
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Were you great that day?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
We won? Yes, us and the guys from Carshield.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Dan buy a great Golfer by the way, it was
me J.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Mack and the two guys from Carshield. We teamed up
and we won the event.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Did J Mack set up the camera so you could
film every stroke.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
There was no camera. It was It was a really
fun day. We had a really good time.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Dan Buy, a great golfer by the way, ended.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Up providing some good shots for the squad that brought
us home the title that day.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What's the most rewarding shot in a scramble that you
can provide for your team.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
It's funny because the best shot I ever hit in
a scramble was that day. We actually used my drive
on a par five and we used we hit our
second shots and I thinned one, but thank goodness I
did because it went about twenty yards further, rolled up
about a foot from the cup. I was a foot
(13:59):
away from having a two to on a par five.
So that the best shot that I've ever hit. That's
as probably as good as it's going to get. It's
even more rare than a hole in one would have
been if it would have went in.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
What do you think of the Scottie Scheffler video.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
I can't tell much from it, like there's either just
it's often the distance of where this incident took place.
I don't know what's going to happen. The mayor even
spoke again today, but the charges still stand. I have
a feeling it's going to go away at some point.
I think the last thing that the Louisville Police Department
(14:36):
wants is this to continue to be in the news,
which you know we talked yesterday and why they would
hold the press conference. And I don't know if we
were both right or both wrong, Doug, but I thought
that they had some maybe gotcha video to prove like
this is our this is our guy. All they did
was say, our guy didn't turn on his body cam.
(14:58):
We have punished him for that, and here's video that
you really can't tell what's going on. That's that's what
today was.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I think what they were trying to do is be
completely transparent, and an effort to be completely transparent, they
came across as like, I don't you kind of wasted
my time? Yes, that's how I felt about it, Like great,
thank you for sharing. Now I still I know less
and less now. I watched a video like five six times.
(15:29):
You know me, I'm a I like watching video. I
was hoping for something. I'm like, am I missing something?
Is there something here that that isn't aha? And the
answer is no. It was a noha instead of an Aha,
that was a terrible dad joke. That's what that was.
It's a Dog Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports. Ready,
let's welcome in. H He's the man, he's the myth,
(15:49):
he's the legend. He's Max Good, a long time college
head coach, assistant coach, legend in the prep school circuit.
And he joined us on the Doug Gottlieb Show on
Fox Sports Radio. Max, how are you?
Speaker 8 (16:04):
I'm doing fine, Doug? You doing?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm good. Do you have any players for me? That's
the that's the first thing I need to know. Do
you have any players for me?
Speaker 8 (16:13):
Well, Cooper Fly I know really well and his family
there are awesome people. But he's already going to do.
But I was just gonna say, instead of you being
on the radio show, you my ought to be out recruiting.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well, it can't be out recruiting. It's a dead period
right now, Max, But I appreciate that. But we but
we can. We can. We can be on the we
can be on the iPads and we can be on
the phones. We can be on the zooms, which I
which which I have been all day. Max Good, Jenny
us here on on the Doug Gottlieb show Max what
what went so wrong for the Celtics to put themselves
in that position where they had to come back the
(16:48):
other night.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Well, first of all, I think the Pacers have got
a nice team, and uh, they've got a kid that
Aaron was drafted by the Celtics in the first round
and he's had a chip on his shoulder because they
got rid of him to get Brogden. Now Brogden isn't
even with them, and he is an elite defender and
(17:14):
he really was getting after Tatum the other night. But
you know, if all these guys can play, there aren't
bad players in the NBA. Some are obviously better than others,
and there's a league. One of the Morris twins hadn't
even played hardly for a month and the other night
he went for thirty in the game. You know, not
(17:35):
the other night, but recently. You know, there's good players everywhere.
But I think the Patients have got a really nice
team and they play fast and they're hard to guard.
They're relentless. But as having said that, I think the
Celtics probably would be health to they had or Zingas obviously,
(17:57):
but injuries have been you know, they've been the beneficiary
of Celtics have almost every team they've played leading up
to this have had some major injuries. So it all
comes out in the wash.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yep, Doug got the show here on Fox Sports Radio
the end of the game. Who's to blame for the Pacers?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Well, I don't like the point blame, but you know,
they got a rookie. I believe he's a rookie. Took
the ball outside, and you know, I don't think if
the Pacers did a good job creating the lead to
get open. You know, I think even if the sie
alchem had caught that ball, he might have walked, or
he might have gone, you know, kept going out of
(18:40):
bounce even if he was able to unless he took
what jump stopped and he was going so fast, he
might have walked anyway. But you know, there were what
fifty two minutes and fifty eight seconds before that happened.
For the thing, you know, there are other things that
happened along the game. But people always want to play
the flame game or the you know on one side
(19:02):
and the hero game on the other. But you know,
at the end of the year, you probably have five
or six games. It's you shouldn't have won, and you've
lost five or six, that's you shouldn't have lost. Just
unfortunate that have happened in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Do you think the Pacers can shake off a loss
where they probably thought they had the game one in
order to and compete tonight, because you know how that
is max win. Like you have a game if you
feel like it's one right, ten seconds ago, three point lead,
good free throw, shoot, get the ball, then get fouled,
make two free throws, let's get out of here. You know,
(19:40):
but you lose that game. How hard is that to
come back from?
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I don't know. I remember two or three years ago
Marcus Smart, who was one of my favorite players and
still is, although I think Drew Holiday is you know,
the is probably as good, if not a little better player.
He's got beautiful countenance. You know, he never gets clustered,
he never shows frustration. He just plays. But you know
(20:11):
it's it's gonna be hard, but they got to dismiss
it someone way or another. They're gonna have to. I
think they're capable of beating Boston, though I surely do.
I just I'm not sold on the Boston. You know,
I think offensively, there's too much. I so too much
one on one and it's Tatum and Brown. They're both
(20:33):
very capable players. Obviously, Brown shot may eventually go down
in the animals is one of the biggest shots in
Celtic's history, the shot he made the other night. But
I don't know. I just hope it's a good game.
I hope it's a good game.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Okay, But you take me into Rick Carlisle's coaches locker room.
How do you get guys to not think about concern
themselves with the collapse the other night.
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Well, you know, I don't know. That might be a
tough sell, but I think they really like playing for him.
They like the freedom he's giving them, they like the
face they're playing with. And you know, you look at
the plays that Holiday didn't go on Halliburton. I think
Halliburton came out the next day and said Holiday is
(21:23):
the best defender in the NBA. Now, I'm sure he
means in regard to guarding him, but you know, your
Holidays a handful. He's strong, and he's smart, and you
know he doesn't he just makes winning plays. And I
think you know they're professionals, they're professionals. I think they'll
(21:47):
bounce back.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I think they will, but I don't know they will.
You know, I think they will, but I don't know
they will.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Nobody knows they will. And of course the Celtics keep
wandering about Porzingis, and I think, to be honest with you,
the Celtics, you know, Pacers did a great job the
targeted Horford. And I love Horford. He just had a
game recently with like twenty three points and fifteen rebounds
(22:16):
in the playoffs. But you know, the Pacers really made
sure that on switches they got to him. And the
Celtics are playing all drop defense and they were giving
up the foul line jumps up shiackem. Really he doesn't
miss many of those.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No, no, he doesn't. Stug Ot show here on Fox
Sports Treaty. That's the voice of Max Good, long time
college head coach and of course college assistant and prep
school coaches, a legend in the basketball professional judges of
the Doug Gottlieb Show live atthetyraq dot com studios. Would
would you be okay with saying that if Larry Bird
(22:57):
came out today, he would have a lot of There
would be some attributes which are similar to Luca.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Now, look Bird was not at point guard Luca is,
but in this era you'd probably handle the ball better.
The point is that what Bird had was the ability
to get by you without you know, just being a
blur and to always get a shot off and always
be creative. And I think that's what Luca is. Is
that a fair parallel anyway?
Speaker 8 (23:28):
I think so Bird is. It's like pat Riley said,
he said, if I have to win the game, I
want Jordan to take the shot. If I want somebody
to shoot to save my life, it's going to be
Larry Bird. I think Larry Bird would be better in
today's game than he was when he played, because he'd
(23:49):
you know, he had kill the three point shot today.
That's why it's JJ Reddick saying that stuff about Bird
is kind of it's absurd, Really, Bird, I think I
would take Bird over Lebron, and I think it's not
it's foolish. Steven compare Jordan to Lebron. Jordan is so
(24:10):
much better and so much more competitive Tiger Woods and
Tiger Woods and Jordan are probably the two most competitive
athletes that I'm aware of. But Bird would be awesome
today in today's game.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
I agree, you can't speed speede Luca Stacy Augman is
one of my very best friends. I have the most
admiration in the world. What an honest, hard knows guy
he is. And I asked him once, I said, coach,
how good is John Morant? He said, Coach, he's good.
(24:50):
He's got a chance to be really good. This was
a couple of years ago. I called him about two
weeks later and I said, how good is he as
good as Luca? He said, Bail, No, it's Luca Lucas.
He said, Coach. He is a killer, you know, in
(25:10):
his own way. He is so dark competitive. And I said, well,
I know he's not tremendously fast. He said, Coach, he
doesn't have to be. He gets even with you here, beat,
he doesn't us sit by you if he gets even
with you. He is so strong and is so knowledgeable,
and and you know he's been playing important basketball, I
(25:32):
mean pressure pack basketball since he's probably thirteen or fourteen.
I think Luca donnots is. You know, he'll be a
first ballot Hall of Famer and he may end up
being one of the five or ten best players ever
played the.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Game Wow Max Max goods our guest here on Doug
Gatlib Show on Fox Sports Radio. Conversely, Anthony Edwards not
really efficient, seem to struggle some last night to really explode.
What's your take on the on the ant man, Well, I.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Really like him. I think he's a great two way player.
But I think people are getting way, way way ahead
of themselves saying he's the next Michael Jordan. I don't
think there'll ever be another Michael Jordan ever. I really don't.
And I thought there'd never be another Joker, and then
who's the guy that plays for Houston. He's got a
(26:22):
similar type game. He's a post players that.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Pronounce or whatever. But yeah, he's the Turkish player.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, he's got a similar style of the game. But
I just don't think Michael Jordan is so competitive and
he's psychotic and he's a sociopath. I mean. I talked
to Tom Kinsalski about him, and he said he came
up to five Star camp. He said he was they
were doing drills and he was the nicest kid in
(26:56):
the world. When they were doing drills. The first day
they played on the opening tip, he hit the guy
next to him in the throat with an elbow and
rendered him useless for both two more days after that,
he said, he is just so so so so competitive,
and you know he's he's he was fearless. I think
Jordan is firing away the best player that ever played,
(27:19):
and I don't. I think I think birds are bit
as good as Lebron.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Prime prime bird, Prime Bird. I would agree with you,
you know, I would absolutely agree with you, prime Bird.
Obviously the difference is that the longevity of time which
Lebron has played. Uh well, coach, thanks so much, coach,
thanks so much for join us. I can't get on
the road recruiting right now, but you can so go
(27:44):
bring me back some players, would you.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Okay, hey, you've got my number? Could you call me?
I wanted to talk to you about something on another issue, ironically.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Okay, have you have you got your whole staff?
Speaker 8 (27:59):
And this isn't.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Coach, coach, I do not and I will call you.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You're my guy. That's Max good. He's the best. Who
doesn't love who doesn't who doesn't love him? When he's
hitting me up to try and try and help him
with my staffing. Here live on National Radio.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Doug gottlib Show, Fox Sports Radio. Welcome in. Help you
having a great day? I don't know. I'm like Sam,
I love you, but we don't have to reinvent the
wheel here?
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Right? What's up?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
What are we reinventing?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
H you want to handle this, Jason, I've tried to off.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
The air, so maybe we need to take it on
the air. And I welcome Dan to do it too.
We have this discussion. You know, we've been doing bump
songs for a long time on the show. A lot
of them you brought over yourself, and then Ramos kind
of it in his own very much liked it. And
I've said to Sam could we please mix those in?
I know you like your own style, your own music,
(29:09):
but can we mix some of the old ones in?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And he said, can I give you the And like
this is good? This is like a what's the show meeting?
This is like a show meeting? Okay, yeah, very professional?
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Yeah, okay, do it?
Speaker 8 (29:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
What's wrong with the song?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
I just played?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, Because here's the thing we've been doing this show
for over fifteen years, and that doesn't mean that the
bumper music hasn't changed. Okay, but there's the reality to
how I want to do something. Is I want somebody
who has listened at maybe listening seven years ago, and
(29:45):
is scrolling around the dial and got into red a
car and presses the buttons, looks sing for sports radio.
They hear the bumper music that they're used to hearing,
they hear the voice that they're used to hearing. There's
a comfort in in it. You want to push to
be different, like Dan works really really hard at game time. Okay,
(30:07):
we have had game Time in some form or fashion
for fifteen plus years. Right, I want it to sound
sort of the same so that you can not listen,
you know, you get caught in a phone conversation and
you but you know what the Doug Gottlib show sound is,
and and and and it's it's not doing that.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
That was red hot Chili Peppers, I understand, And that
was called Taste the Pain.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
So you were talking about this.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Show trying to be clever and you're listening to the show.
I know the song my daughter Grace.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Is a huge fleet, So what's the issue, then I
didn't play some two minutes worth of this week, and it's.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Not necessarily an issue. An issue makes it as if
I got to send an email, we got to go
to HR of a meeting or whatever. It's a as
we progress going forward. I don't like to micromanage anybody.
I don't micromanage Jason. Jason doesn't micromanage me. Nobody micromanages you.
The philosophy that I like with this show is we
(31:13):
will continue to push the envelope. And again, what I
like in terms of small tweaks and changes is what
Dan does. And by the way, when Dan is going
to try something, you know what he does, Sam. He says,
I'm gonna try something here. What do you guys?
Speaker 4 (31:30):
So I'm supposed to bounce off you some song that's
been around for forty years.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Let's get to Dan BYRSA, this is game time.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
On the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
The other way we can do it is I can
just light it, write on a list of songs and
we do those as bumpers. That's I think what we're
working towards.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
And what he got Doug the game today is.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I feel a draft.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
All right, We're drafting all the songs. We don't like
that Sam is played over the last I still don't understand. No,
I'm kidding, we'll get wrong with the song. That's a
good song, great song. We are drafting what NBA player
would you take for the next ten years? Okay, for
the next ten years, Sam, because because you're in the
(32:25):
hot seat right now, you're actually getting picked Numero uno.
All right, yes, you get picked number one, then Doug,
then Jason, and then myself.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm gonna take Anthony Keatis.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
He actually thought he was going a different way. But
take Shade, gilgos Alixander, Okay, number one, s g.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
A, Okay, does Luca Dudgeon?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
All right, all right, so you've left me, uh maybe
Jordan or my pick. The pick that I'm going to
use Victor Wembanyama v W is what I call him.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's a really good pick.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
I am going to take Anthony Edwards. I do think
I'll say I'll say this, And there was a point
in Anthony edwards career and I don't know if it
was still in place in this twenty three twenty twenty
four season where his diet was a conversation on multiple
(33:35):
levels Karl Anthony Towns had talked about it in press conferences.
We had found out that he eats like twenty bags
of Chester hot fries in a week, and last night
and guarding Kyrie Irving and him getting as winded as
he was, I thought was, it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
See he's tremendous.
Speaker 8 (33:58):
He is he is.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
But I mean, you know, now, now's the point when
you could go to that next level that maybe there
are things that you have to end up changing. Fair enough,
fair fair, unfair.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Totally fair point, totally fairpoint.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
Next ten years, this is, this is, there's there's a
couple of ways that I've been thinking. I've got a
couple of candidates, and I'll bring them out, but I'm
just gonna say. I'm gonna say Yokic because I think
the next four will still be really really good top
(34:40):
level basketball. I don't know what I'm gonna get in years,
you know, five through ten, but the next four I
feel really really good about. So I would take Nikola
Jokic at five.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I'm wondering that's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
I'm wondering why Dan the left this guy is it
because he's too old? I don't know, oh how old
is this guy? Uh tenth season? So Jannis isn't isn't
uh something you want for the next ten years? Does
that mean he's too old?
Speaker 8 (35:13):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 7 (35:15):
I'll say this, there's parts of Gianni's game that I
don't know if they'll ever get better. And I think
that Jokic is the more complete player. Uh So, okay,
I'll take you honest, okay, twenty nine years old?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Now, Uh you know, I was, I was, I was.
I was thinking about uh, oh man, what Memphis Grizzly
is always in trouble? What what Jah? I was thinking
about Jah for the next ten to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
Let's put let's put a gun, cheer head, would you
still come on?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Sorry? I like butchered the line I've had for the
next ten to fifteen I think, Uh, but I'm gonna
go off board here you ready? Cooper flag, m Cooper flag.
And to people who say, well, you can't talk about yes,
I can. I just mentioned his name. He's also not
(36:17):
coming to play for us here at GreenPAK. Cooper.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
All right, Sam, your final pick, I'll take Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Interesting, solid, solid, I want there's no chance you'd actually
take him for the next ten years.
Speaker 7 (36:35):
I wondered if Halliburton was going to make this really.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yes, I don't think either of those guys are at
the level that we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
But that's you know, we're also talking growth in where
they could be. No, Jason Tatum, I.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Mean, Jason Tatum is a guy that that that that
that that is the guy probably missing the most.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
I considered Devin Booker, but yep, and I also considered
Paulo bang Caro.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I like peul Ban Crow. And that is game time.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
All right, coming up next to the Doug Gotlieb Show
here on Fox Sports Radio. First it was Lebron, although
then he equated it to his son, which is weird.
Now it's Charles Barkley. Are we talking about the w
n B A, Yes we are. That's next to the
Doug Gotlieb Show.
