(00:24):
And then all of a sudden you go, well, that's

it's a little bit longer than you might think. But
they're here. But they're a big underdog again against OKAC.

you liked you didn't like, Charles Barkley. In a little
more than an hour from now, we will give you
our best and worst to the weekend, and the SEC
Commissioner Greg Sanke will stop by as well. It didn't
take long. It didn't take long after the Knicks were
(01:28):
limited on Saturday that the finger pointing has started in
New York and most of the fingers are pointed at
Carl Anthony Towns. So there were reports out of New
York suggesting the team grew increasingly frustrated with Carl Anthony
Town's defensive habits throughout the playoffs. This isn't a new revelation.
(01:49):
He's never been a good defender and he's a a
what do you say, Marvin. He is not a big man.
He's a tall man.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Correct, Okay, right, He's not a power forward. He's just
a forward.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's really good at scoring, really good at scoring, and
he's good at letting the other team score as well.
But he's not a rint protector like I don't this
Of all the things coming out of New York, Man,
you gotta blame somebody. We didn't go to the finals.
So it's Karl Anthony Towns. You traded for him, You
(02:25):
knew exactly what you were getting. There's no secret. It's
not like he stopped playing defense once he got to
New York. He didn't play it in Minnesota. That's why
they had the stifled tower in there. Rudy and the
go bets because Carl Anthony Towns is he's a seven
foot shooting guard.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yes, Martin, the Pacers were targeting Carl Anthon Town's in
the fourth quarter that pick and roll barbecue chicken.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay, See if Karl Anthony Towns, who doesn't play defense,
Jalen Brunts is undersized. He's not a good defender either,
and you're playing for a coach who is a defense
I minded coach. So you can blame Karl Anthony Towns. Defensively.
Offensively played really well. His numbers were really good. But
if the Knicks want to start pointing fingers, I think
(03:12):
I'd look in the mirror right now, because now what
do you do? Karl Anthony Town's going to be one
and done? Now all of a sudden, you're going to
try to package him. Now I'm hearing, hey, would you
trade Karl Anthony town straight up for uh Jannis? I go, wait,
if I'm Milwaukee, No, if I'm the Knicks, of course,
(03:34):
would you trade Karl Anthony Towns straight up for Kevin Durant? Sure?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean it's a lot younger guy. I mean, these
are the things that you're hearing already in New York
this morning, and I'm thinking, would I try to package
something for Jannis?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But you got to give me something more than Karl
Anthony Towns. I always wonder, you know, when we he
had these trade proposals, why are you getting rid of
that guy? Now? Giannis may want out, and he's still
one of the top five players, but he wants out
because he wants to win a championship. Karl Anthony Towns
doesn't win out of New York, they might want him
out of New York. He had one more block shot
(04:15):
than I did in the entire series against Indiana. You're
seven feet tall. Jalen Brunson had more blocks than Karl
Anthony Towns. Out of the day Brought to you by
Panadia America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
(04:39):
We should not be surprised at any of this. Usually
what happens is, remember, Joker can't play defense. Remember that
was the knock that he wasn't going to win the MVPA. Hey,
he can't play defense. Well, they're called defensive rebounds, and
he's one of the best defensive rebounders in the game. Looking,
I mean, it looks like Bill Russell compared to Karl
Anthony Towns. But you know, Jalen Brunson, It's never been
(05:03):
brought up the Jalen Brunson can't play defense. Never, but
he can't. He's undersized.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He's a great offensive player. You know, has some bad passes,
stupid fouls sometimes, but you know, I love watching him play.
But we'll single out like Steph Curry can't guard anybody,
Steve Nash can't guard anybody. Joker not a good defender
that you know. Somehow that tips the scales to some
Nobody's ever said I Shay Gilgess can play defense. I've
(05:33):
never heard it, but sometimes when you're pointing out somebody, Hey,
he's really good on offense, but he's terrible on defense
like Luca. Oh, he's a bad defender. Okay, he's a
really good offensive player. I do know that. So at
the end of the day, how does it even out? Uh,
he's probably going to have more points than you and
more assists than you. But when it comes to defense,
(05:56):
Karl Anthony Towns can't play defense. No one should be
surprised because he has never been able to. And now
are you going to have him on the move? But
you got to have somebody to blame. They're even asking
the question to Jalen Brunson about is Tom Thibodeau the
right coach for the Knicks?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Gentlemhen you talk about the confidence. Obviously, I feel like
nobody takes more criticism than Tom, and this team obviously
has turned around during his tenure. Do you kind of
feel that going forward he's the same guy to sift
you guys the rest of the way at next level?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Is that a real question right now?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
He just asked me if I believe that, if he's
the right guy?
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Yes, thanks, guys, fun.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Come on, awkward, Is that a real question? What do
you think he's gonna say? First of all, and okay,
maybe you're trying to lead the witness a little bit.
Maybe maybe he gives you something, but he's going to
back his guy. Do you think he's the right guy? No, no,
I do not. All right, guys, that's it. Thank you
(07:04):
have good offseason? Yes, Todd, even in.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
A moment of terrible disappointment that if you don't love
the question, are you looking to embarrass the report of there?
Is there another way Brunton could have made his point.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Without Oh no, no, no, no, you're backing your guy. No, no, no.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
But you can't back him by saying, of course he's
our guys.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You have to say, come on, you're really asking me that.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well, I think in that situation you want to back
your guy. Maybe over back your guy. But yeah, I
probably would have said the same thing. Is he the
right guy?
Speaker 9 (07:34):
He's the right guy. We haven't lost any confience in him.
He's taken us this far and we'll go that much
further next year. Really, dude, that's what you got for me?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But do you you don't blame the reporter for asking
that question.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
Not the greatest question, but the question was asked, and
you have an opportunity to embarrass him in front of
his peers. Or answer it short of make him feel foolish.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm going to side with Jalen Brunson with that just lost. Hey,
do you think Tom's still the guy to lead you?
Is that a Is that a real question?
Speaker 9 (08:07):
What would you say to those who think Tom Tibodeau
should be with another team next year and you should.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Have I would say, who are those people?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
There are people who say who who?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
No, No, I would turn it back on you because
that that is our fallback, you know where we go.
You know, people are saying I would say, who's saying
let me know who?
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Those people are nameless right now, but they are saying
that maybe's.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Not Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller saying that Timothy Shalomey is
saying that.
Speaker 10 (08:38):
Yes.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
See, you kind of sound like in forty year Old Virgin,
where they're like, uh no, just always ask questions to women.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You just ask whatever they say back, She's like, how
you doing? How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Can I help you find something? I don't know?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Can you help me try something? Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Pole?
Speaker 11 (08:57):
Question first hour is going to be what you like
to do it yourself? Let's see we got some options here.
How about this offseason? The Knicks need to make a
dot dot dot hmm, big move or minor tweaks.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, I think when they lost Isaiah Hartenstein, I really
liked him. I mean very underrated. Now he's playing for OKC,
but I mean Karl Anthony Towns, that's he says that
he is kind of revolutionizing the big man or whatever
his compliment was of his game. He is a skilled scorer.
(09:34):
But okay, if you have a defensive minded coach, you
got an undersized point guard and you got a big
man who's not really a big man. Okay, Now, Anonobi
and Mikale Bridges and Mitchell Robbins, Okay, Josh hart you
guys better play some really really good defense because those
guys can't. Okay, But I still inquire about Giannis. Absolutely,
(10:02):
I mean every team should. Toronto is another team that's
emerging now, there should be Boston should be in the
mix with this. But what are you giving? What are
you giving? Milwaukee? Obviously the Knicks would go, hey, we
want him, what are you giving up? Well, you're not
giving up Brunson. You know, Anonobe, you you got draft
(10:27):
picks and you know you got to make all this
work here. But we we live in a fantasy world.
Sometimes with these trades, we're like, man, their Knicks, they're
going to get this guy. It's like you know sports
radio call in people talking about the Yankees. You know,
we we we want to get this guy, and we're
going to give up you know, Luis Soto or whoever.
(10:48):
You know, Yes time, assuming.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
You're not giving up heart either, is that you giving
up Bridges and cat that's enough to get Yannis.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I don't even want to go down that road because
it's silly. It's it's you know, you're trying to put
pieces together and you got first round picks, and then
you're gonna throw in this and this and this and this.
It's really hard to make these kind of moves unless
sometimes you need a third team involved in this. But
do the Knicks need to make a move I think so.
I mean they made a move last season and then
(11:15):
all of a sudden they missed Julius Randall because Randall,
you know, he's a good passer and he'll play defense. Now,
all of a sudden they never should have gotten rid
of Julius Randall.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (11:28):
Yes, Seaton, right, you're gonna have to do like to
get Jannis. Karl Anthony Townsend like three first round picks
or something. So now now you're starting to look at
the twenty thirty draft, the first round, the conditional first round,
some of these things.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, it's tough because if you're going to trading there,
where are those draft picks going to be? I mean,
you're gonna get the twenty sixth pick in the draft,
because that's what it would be with the Knicks with
how they finished. So but all right, so we kind
of have a poll question here, the Nick should do
(12:05):
something small medium, Well, I.
Speaker 11 (12:07):
Should they'd make a big move or just some minor
tweaks in the offseason. I also am going to put
up their better better finals right now? Pacers Thunder or
Oilers Panthers. Hmm, which are you most looking forward to?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, I'm obviously a basketball fan. I want to see
what Indiana's offense can do against okay See's defense. Now
granted that's not tune in factor, just letting you know
in my world that's what I want to see because
there's you know, we always talk about sex appeal or
kind of the drive by with the remoter. Are you
(12:46):
going to stop if you're watching? You know that game
is on, and maybe you don't but if you're asking me,
okay sees defense against Indiana Pacers, I want to see
h Connor mcd david be great. You know, you got
the stage, you had the stage last year, and Florida
with what Florida has done and Tampa Bay prior to that,
(13:10):
I mean, it's pretty amazing. But watching the team not
panic the way Florida does is pretty remarkable. And Edmonton
might have the two best players in the finals with
you know, Conor McDavid and Dry title of course, who
never gets mentioned until the postseason on this show, Leon
(13:30):
Dry citle Yes, mart.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
We never hear about him until play the name.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's true, that is true. But that's on us, you know,
we we haven't been tuning into Edmonton games.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, Marvin next October, Leon Dry sitle yes, very night.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Hell yeah. Today. By the way, win or lose, we celebrate.
That's our model around here. Since we don't win, we
do lose and celebrate all remitting T shirts. Just ten

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Phone calls on Monday, best and Worst of the weekend.
Once you saw that you liked, you didn't like. The
Pacers were fifty to one to win the NBA title
to start the season, so if they win, they would
be the longest long shot to win the title in
the last forty years. Stat of the day, Sat of
(15:49):
the day, that Boss, stat of the day, stat of the.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Day here comes that what stat of the day?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I think you will? Ferrell and the Thunder are big
favorites to win the title if you go back since
two thousand and five, only the twenty eighteen Warriors had
shorter odds heading into the NBA Finals than OKC. So
Vegas is looking at this that OKC is going to win.
The question is in how many games? But it feels
(16:20):
like the Pacers have already won. OKC has to win
the title. You got the MVP, you dominated teams during
the regular season and the postseason, you got the home
court advantage. You should win the NBA title. And how
many times have we had the MVP Scoring champ and
(16:42):
the NBA Champion in the same year. I'm good to
guess Michael Jordan did that quite a few times. I
don't know if when's the last time somebody other than
Michael Jordan won the scoring title, won the MVP and
then won the NBA Championship. Did Steph Curry lead the
league in score when they won a title.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I don't think so. Maybe Shack, maybe two thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Shack, which is the last time the Pacers were in
the NBA finals quarter century, Yeah, twenty five years. Yeah,
we should check that because Shay Gilgen normally your leading scorer.
You're not going to the NBA finals. But I know
Jordan did it a few times, but Shay Gilgess led
the NBA in scoring. All right, we'll get to phone
(17:26):
calls here decide on our poll question. From hour one,
I thought body language wise, Tyrese Haliburton was ready to
walk up and get the Larry Bird trophy. Damn, he
took a step, not a travel though, No, No, if
(17:46):
he took three steps, then that would be a travel.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
The more I watch that video is more like he
euro stepped his way up there. The emotions become more
exaggerated the more I see.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
He took two small and then you have to go
back to steps. Was I surprised at that?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I was?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
You know, he's the leader of the team. Pascal Siakam
is the hall of very good. But I thought Tyree's Halliburton.
It all goes through him. But you know, you have
a bad game, you know, the game five and then
all of a sudden and there's only like eight or
nine voters for this. But yeah, Pascal Siakam wins. I
(18:32):
was waiting for Tyrese Haliburton's dad to come on to
the floor. He'd have something to say about them.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Gus in La leads us off. Good morning, Gus, how
are you, buddy?
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Good morning, misstating hope you and the boys had a
great weekend. Yeah, that was the operator of the weekend
right there, that little up. No, you don't get to
cook me the best of the weekend. Even though we
lost last night. My Dodgers taking two out of the
three of the Yankees, including the eighteen to beat down
on Saturday. That was very refreshing to see. You know,
(19:04):
Dodgers haven't been playing that well a ball of late,
so for them to be able to do that soundly
against the Yankees quote unquote eights and next free that
was very positive. Size of the presssy worst to the weekend. No,
I mean, even though they're a little bit of a
rival of the Dodgers diving back a Corbyn Burns signaling
(19:27):
to the trainer to come out, and then he bounced
out the words that my elbows done, it's dead, and
never came back and now they're saying that it's even
done and over with. So speedy recovery for him. Always
good to see the Diamondbacks and Dodgers play the best
at the same time, and now that he's done kind
of puts the damper on the rivalry for the season.
(19:48):
But that's it for me. Boys. You boys had a
great week. You gotta take care.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Thank you, guys. Yeah, I watched a lot of the
Yankees and the Dodgers last night. Still a great environment
Dodger Stadium. Yeah, it just looks like it's out of
a movie, out of a picture, a portrait. The Rockies
were swept again, third fastest to fifty losses in baseball history. Congratulations,
(20:13):
they're now nine and fifty, nine and fifty and they're
getting blown out. They are getting out. They're on pace
to get outscored by what four hundred and fifty runs, Paulie.
Speaker 14 (20:26):
That was the pace last week. It's up to over
five hundred runs. Will be the run differential this season
at the current pace. To compare that, the White Sox
last year, which were all time bad, got outscored by
three hundred and ten runs.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
And when you look at just how bad they've been,
they've yet to win ten games. So they're nine and fifty,
third fastest to get to fifty losses. The teams that
did this before aren't even teams. You have to go
back to eighteen eighty four, the Kansas City Unions, the
eighteen seventy six Red Stockings, and the eighteen eighty nine
(21:01):
Louisville Colonels. They were embarrassing, yes, and then you throw
in the Colorado Rockies. Just when you thought baseball can't
be any worse after the White Sox last year, it
can be this is historical and not only to lose,
but to be blown out. They are on page to
(21:23):
be outscored by five hundred runs this year. Then it's
through fifty nine games so far. Kenny in La, Hi, Kenny,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Hey, Danny.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I always enjoy hearing Dustin's takes. I was actually out
at the stadium on a Friday night to see the
Dodgers beat the Yankees. Dodgers were down side to tune
that game. It was an epic judge at at home
in the top of the first then so it hit
two home runs, so that was great. But in that
same game, we had a situation that occurred last year too.
(21:59):
So Otani in the sixth inning leads it off with
the second home of the game. They bat around our
number nine hitter, Rojas is up grounds into a double
play instead of going for a sacrifice buns to suicide
squeeze or just take the cave show. He has not
(22:21):
come up with many runs, many runners on this year.
In fact, if you look at it his RBI total,
it's it's unbelievably low for his twenty two homers. I
think he's at thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, but it's not important for guys to get on base.
The Yankees have a guy who has like thirteen home
runs and twenty six RBIs it just it used to
be walks as good as a hit, and then guys
tried to have two hundred hits in a season. It was,
you know, important, And I was wondering about that with
(22:52):
RBI totals, sort of where are we now because that
that was a big stat and somebody drive in one
hundred and thirty one hundred and four what he runs
and guys still do that. It's just there seems like
they're just more solo home runs. That's that's still prevalent.
Uh Andy and Rhode Island. Hi, Andy, welcome back.
Speaker 15 (23:14):
Good morning, Dan Dennet. It might be Monday, but there's
always tear one pressure.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Dan.
Speaker 16 (23:19):
I have two best for you today, Dan.
Speaker 15 (23:22):
My first, it's gonna have to be with the TNT.
Speaker 16 (23:25):
Crew on it uh the NBA cant crew, the farewell
man it was Hotfeld, and it's you know, it's gonna
be great to see them continue continue their legacy on ESPN.
And my second best then celebrating my mom's birthday over
the weekend, she finally fired up.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
That that would Ridge series.
Speaker 15 (23:44):
Uh Trager, My goodness, Dan.
Speaker 16 (23:46):
She even said it should come with a with a
Warner label because it is just too good.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Dan.
Speaker 15 (23:51):
It's so good and we appreciate.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It, but it's not that. Thank you, Andy, and happy
birthday to your mother. Firing up the Tragger Girl getting
a sponsorship plug in there. We appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
TNT said goodbye to Inside the NBA. Now moving to
the mother Ship, and Shack and Charles and Kenny and
Ernie said their goodbyes. Heartfelt by Ernie and I like
how every time Charles comes on, he reminds us or
the rest of the sports world and those at ESPN
not gonna work every day, not gonna be on the
(24:27):
morning show. I'm not gonna do get up, I'm not
gonna be doing this. I'm not gonna be doing that.
All right, good luck with that. I just don't know.
It's the esp andification of Inside the NBA that would
be the only concern that I would have with ESPN,
because when you think that you're smarter than everybody, or
(24:48):
you're gonna make something better, we gonna make it like
our you know, make it ESPN like you know, don't
do anything to it. Stay away from it. It's fool proof.
Don't be foolish and try to change it. Do something different.
You don't need to. Now you want to sprinkle in
stephen A, sprinkle him in, but just sprinkle. It's a
(25:13):
little bit because I don't want stephen A at the garden,
you know, being a Knick fan to open up the
season and handing the baton inside the NBA with those guys.
Let him come on, but they're the stars, not you
on their show. Let them still have their show. You
(25:33):
want to have Malika Andrews come in or I don't
know if Big Perk is going to be on since
Shaq and Charles have taken shots at him, but that
would be my only concern. Let inside the NBA, be
inside the NBA and try not to have it all
over the place. I mean, the beauty of it is
(25:56):
that you know, it wasn't on every night, you know,
so it was bite sized portion, so you'd look forward
to it. It'd be twice a week maybe and hopefully
it stays that way.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
ESPN has a way of you know, over exposure, you know, McAfee,
steven A, Dicky v Chris Berman, you know myself, probably
for a while, Stewart for a while. You know, they
do that, but we're on every day or every night,
and it's different. And that should help the inside the
(26:29):
NBA because you'll look forward to it. It'll be great
when it comes on. But I get the feeling Charles
might be working a little more than he thinks, a
little more than he thinks. Hey, we need you guys
to be at the SPI's what, yeah, we need you
to hand out an award? What yes?
Speaker 14 (26:49):
One of the great things about the NBA and T
and T. It felt like they were saying the things
we wanted to say. Barkley would say, I'm not staying
up for the Bobcats and he can make fun of
it or this game, or they would play segment where
Charles doesn't know the name of NBA players.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Do you think all that will be fine with the
new regime.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I don't know it's fine. I don't even know the
new regime. It just seems like they're just big on
personalities and whatever you say, whatever you do, they're fine
with that. I don't know. They're not exactly caught up
with journalism. I think this is more entertainment great. You know,
that's your hitch your wagon to this great you know
(27:30):
the great. Bob Lee came out and lament to the
fact that ESPN has kind of lost its way with journalism. Yeah,
they have, but you know, we're old school. That's how
I was brought up. That you still cover stories, you know,
you try to investigate. Now it just seems like just
to have an opinion. So what if you're wrong, You
(27:51):
move on and you lived it to have another hot take.
I mean, that's really what the business has become. It
shouldn't be, but that's what it's becomes about entertainment, not
necessarily the way we were kind of raised at ESPN,
and Bob Lee was the you know, the forefront. He
was the godfather of that. It was really really really
important to him. But ESPN you got to satisfy your shareholders.
(28:16):
You got to be like, hey, look at that stock,
you know, look at what we're doing. But they kept
the show together. That's the important part of it. And
hopefully they there's you know, no seat belt that they
have to wear. But we'll talk to Barkley coming up
next hour. Jeremiah in Indiana, h Jeremiah.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Hey, DP, thanks for taking my call best and worse
of the weekend. Obviously, without a doubt that the NBA
Pacers going to the NBA Finals for the second time
in twenty five years. It's phenomenal. And to get to
win in the house and that's just outstanding itself. Reggie
(28:58):
being present and the award ceremony and just you know,
it's still an emotional factor for all of us here.
And I wouldn't necessarily say the worst, but the downfall
is the ending of the TNT broadcast. Ernie was very,
very on point, and it's one of those that you know,
(29:19):
still kind of gets choked up a little bit because
it's the highs and lows of the game. The win
was outstanding, but then the somberness of the end of
the broadcast for tn T. Now those guys are going
to go on to ESPN. But the people that worked
for T and T that got the broadcast going, those
are kind of forgotten ones that we think.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
They all stay together. They're going to keep the show
in Atlanta. It's not leaving to go to Bristol, Connecticut.
It's not going to the Mothership. It's it's like McAfee
does his show in Indiana, Indianapolis. They just rent the show.
That's all this is inside the NBA. It's outsourced would
(30:01):
be the TV term probably for that. Adam in La Hi, Adam,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (30:08):
Add six, one, two, fifteen. Best of the week definitely
getting two teams the NBA Finals who have never won
a championship before. I always root for that in any
sport if my own team, which is the Clippers, So
that's not going to happen eight times soon, but yeah,
(30:29):
that's great to see. Worse for the week was Max
verstapp and intentionally crashing into George Russell at the Spanish
Grand Prix, which was just, uh yeah, that was kind
of mind blowing. So yeah, that's where I was at.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
All right, thank you, Adam, max Verse stopping he got
spank there a little bit. He said that he was
frustrated and then did that kind of out of character.
Uh but yeah, thank you for the phone call there.
Max Verse stopping Arnaldo in Charlotte, Arnaldo in charlottey five seventy.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
So I had a question, is the next season still
a success? I know they didn't win the championship that
he lost in the in the East of Conference finals,
but I'm a Knicks fan and we're and I think
we're in a positive trajectory here going towards the future.
I'm not dooming gloom. I think only one team wins
the championship and everybody else does not necessarily have a
failure as a season if they don't win the same ship.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, it depends on the expectations. Because you could look
at the Cavaliers and say they had the best record
in the East. That might be a disappointment. The way
they went out the Boston Celtics with the injury to Tatum,
that's a disappointment the Knicks. I think the Knicks got
as far as I thought the Knicks were going to get.
(31:57):
I mean, keep in mind, the Cavaliers were a better team.
In my opinion, Indiana is a better team the Tatum injury,
with the Celtics, the Bucks having Dame Lillard's situation, the
seventy six ers aren't any good. So there was a
true opportunity here and you didn't take advantage of it.
Does Milwaukee do something with Giannis? I believe so. Do
(32:19):
the Celtics do something? Do the Cabs do something? So
it's not just do the Knicks do something. What about
the other teams, yes, Heaton.
Speaker 11 (32:27):
Yeah, I mean I think listening to what you just
said there, they got way further than anybody would have
thought they could have. I mean, just they shouldn't have
gotten by Really, they shouldn't have gotten by any of
those teams.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yeah, you go back to that game one loss against
Indiana with Haliburton, and I know we can do what
it could have, should have all of that. But I
can also go back to a call that wasn't made
in the Detroit series in Detroit, whether it was a
foul that should have been called him, it's breaks of
the game. It's luck obviously their skill. But if I'm
(32:58):
a Knicks fan, do I look at them as a success?
I would say yes, I would. Now moving forward, you're
not going to win a title with that team, in
my opinion, you're not going to Boston. Should still be good,
but you know, I don't see Porzingis or Drew Holliday
there next season. Would you make a deal with Jalen
(33:20):
Brown and get Jannis in there? How about that?
Speaker 14 (33:25):
I did the eyebrow raise on that one when you
did that one.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
How about that? Because I'd certainly now they may not
want to trade Jannis in the East, but i'd certainly
explore that.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Yes, Marvin, Well, if you're a Knicks fan, I think
beating the Celtics was a big deal and they said,
all we got to do is beat the Pacers. There's
no Calves, there's no Bucks, there's no Celtics. It's just
a team that we think we can beat. And for
them to lose that I think at least a sour
taste Knicks fans mouth.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Well, they geared up to beat the Celtics. Their roster
was to beat the Celtics. It's like teams would do
this with the Patriots. You kind of devised your team
because that's the team you were going to have to
beat eventually, and the Celtics were wounded. Nicks end up winning,
But you know, Indiana was a better team. Cleveland to
(34:16):
me was a better team. Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the Knicks
have a history of doing this.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
I think the Knicks they geared up to beat the
lebron Heat, but they ended up losing to the Pacers
because they had nobody to stop Roy Hibbert, Like, so,
you know what, we're trying to stop this one team,
but we can't beat this team.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
You know players to win the scoring title, win the MVP,
and win an NBA title in the same season Marvin

Speaker 18 (37:27):
Hey Danny, great talking to you. I have a best
and a worse. My best is the Brewers sweeping the Phillies.
We're affecting high hopes, or we have high hopes for
the Brewers just because we know we're going to use
Lewis Jannis here in Wisconsin. The worst is doing yard
work this week and I hurt my back, which I
have a double header. I'm forty years old. I play
(37:48):
right center and I bat fift and now my status
is up in the air. So I'm hoping my trainer
aka my wife can get me in shape and ready
to go.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
All right, Well, good luck with that, Corey. Keep an
eye out for the highlights on Sports Center. Eric in Indiana,
Hi Eric, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Hey?
Speaker 19 (38:07):
DP, have we doing six?
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 19 (38:12):
That's best and kind of best. Worst of the weekend.
I was in Unich for the Champions League final, go PSGH,
and then had to you know, don't tell the authorities,
had had to channel a stream for the Pacers game
at two o'clock in the morning over there, and really
haven't sleepsance in but but go Pacers.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
All right, well thank you, Eric. Yeah, I saw the
rioting after PSG one. I never understood when you win
and you riot. When you lose, okay, maybe you're upset,
but when you win and then you all of a
sudden start ripping up your your city, I don't get it.
Baker and Bozeman, Hi, Bake, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 19 (38:54):
Tap Bunny?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Danny? Hello Dan.
Speaker 20 (38:56):
You're talking about the T and T crew and the
coming to ESPN, and you know that Charles doesn't want
to get sucked into all these ESPN shows. I think
that the great model to emulate would be when Troy
Aikman and Joe Buck came over to do Monday Night Football.
You don't see those guys on every other show on ESPN.
They're still their own special thing, and I think that
he and he could absolutely got to emulate that model.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Well, you're gonna want Charles on your show. I mean,
I love Troy and Joe. They're nowhere near the star
power that you know, Shack and sure certainly Charles. But
they did do Sports Center. You'd see Troy and Joe
on a Monday Night they'd be doing Sports Center. I
just you know, every show is gonna want those guys
(39:41):
always yes, yes.
Speaker 11 (39:43):
Yeah, I tend to agree with the caller and that
I think that the days of like the car wash
for superstar talent like that are pretty much over. And
I don't think you're bringing in Charles Barklay and he's
going to be there for twelve straight hours and he's
got a hit on radio and that he's doing dot
com and then he's going over to news and then
he's doing like all of that crazy stuff where it's like, what,
(40:04):
I don't really think that talent like that they I
don't think they treat those.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Guys that way.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
It was always my philosophy, my advice when somebody would
ask me, hey, think about going to ESPN, and I said,
even Jason Kelcey, I said, just be careful, you don't
get caught in the car wash, because you don't want
to water down all the things that you could be
saving for yourself. And he had his podcast with his
brother and he was doing Monday Night Countdown. So for
(40:31):
the most part, he has steered clear of that. And
maybe there is that mindset of let's not overwork, over
expose the talent that we're bringing in now. Stephen A.
Is going to overexpose himself. He signs up for everything.
He's involved in everything, and he's very popular because of that.
And McAfee does the same thing. Those guys they love
(40:51):
to work. But Charles loves to golf, Charles loves to gamble.
Charles doesn't want to be in a car wash. But
we'll talk to about that. I'm sure that he will
tell us of what his role. I don't even know
if he signed his contract. Lives he part of ESPN?
Now are they? Are they officially part or do we
wait till the NBA season? So Charles will join us?

Boy, it feels like it's going to be a little
more than a minor tweak there. Yeah, you didn't utilize
any depth. Did you have depth? You just decided not
to use it. Karl Anthony Towns. Can you build around
him and Jalen Brunson. Brunson, you can. I don't know
about Karl Anthony Towns. We asked Charles Barkley about that

our best and worst to the weekend, and the SEC
Commissioner Greg Sanke will stop by as well. It didn't
take long. It didn't take long after the Knicks were
(01:28):
limited on Saturday that the finger pointing has started in
New York and most of the fingers are pointed at
Carl Anthony Towns. So there were reports out of New
York suggesting the team grew increasingly frustrated with Carl Anthony
Town's defensive habits throughout the playoffs. This isn't a new revelation.
(01:49):
He's never been a good defender and he's a a
what do you say, Marvin. He is not a big man.
He's a tall man.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Correct, Okay, right, He's not a power forward. He's just
a forward.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
He's really good at scoring, really good at scoring, and
he's good at letting the other team score as well.
But he's not a rint protector like I don't this
Of all the things coming out of New York, Man,
you gotta blame somebody. We didn't go to the finals.
So it's Karl Anthony Towns. You traded for him, You
(02:25):
knew exactly what you were getting. There's no secret. It's
not like he stopped playing defense once he got to
New York. He didn't play it in Minnesota. That's why
they had the stifled tower in there. Rudy and the
go bets because Carl Anthony Towns is he's a seven
foot shooting guard.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yes, Martin, the Pacers were targeting Carl Anthon Town's in
the fourth quarter that pick and roll barbecue chicken.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay, See if Karl Anthony Towns, who doesn't play defense,
Jalen Brunts is undersized. He's not a good defender either,
and you're playing for a coach who is a defense
I minded coach. So you can blame Karl Anthony Towns. Defensively.
Offensively played really well. His numbers were really good. But
if the Knicks want to start pointing fingers, I think
(03:12):
I'd look in the mirror right now, because now what
do you do? Karl Anthony Town's going to be one
and done? Now all of a sudden, you're going to
try to package him. Now I'm hearing, hey, would you
trade Karl Anthony town straight up for uh Jannis? I go, wait,
if I'm Milwaukee, No, if I'm the Knicks, of course,
(03:34):
would you trade Karl Anthony Towns straight up for Kevin Durant? Sure?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean it's a lot younger guy. I mean, these
are the things that you're hearing already in New York
this morning, and I'm thinking, would I try to package
something for Jannis?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But you got to give me something more than Karl
Anthony Towns. I always wonder, you know, when we he
had these trade proposals, why are you getting rid of
that guy? Now? Giannis may want out, and he's still
one of the top five players, but he wants out
because he wants to win a championship. Karl Anthony Towns
doesn't win out of New York, they might want him
out of New York. He had one more block shot
(04:15):
than I did in the entire series against Indiana. You're
seven feet tall. Jalen Brunson had more blocks than Karl
Anthony Towns. Out of the day Brought to you by
Panadia America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
(04:39):
We should not be surprised at any of this. Usually
what happens is, remember, Joker can't play defense. Remember that
was the knock that he wasn't going to win the MVPA. Hey,
he can't play defense. Well, they're called defensive rebounds, and
he's one of the best defensive rebounders in the game. Looking,
I mean, it looks like Bill Russell compared to Karl
Anthony Towns. But you know, Jalen Brunson, It's never been
(05:03):
brought up the Jalen Brunson can't play defense. Never, but
he can't. He's undersized.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He's a great offensive player. You know, has some bad passes,
stupid fouls sometimes, but you know, I love watching him play.
But we'll single out like Steph Curry can't guard anybody,
Steve Nash can't guard anybody. Joker not a good defender
that you know. Somehow that tips the scales to some
Nobody's ever said I Shay Gilgess can play defense. I've
(05:33):
never heard it, but sometimes when you're pointing out somebody, Hey,
he's really good on offense, but he's terrible on defense
like Luca. Oh, he's a bad defender. Okay, he's a
really good offensive player. I do know that. So at
the end of the day, how does it even out? Uh,
he's probably going to have more points than you and
more assists than you. But when it comes to defense,
(05:56):
Karl Anthony Towns can't play defense. No one should be
surprised because he has never been able to. And now
are you going to have him on the move? But
you got to have somebody to blame. They're even asking
the question to Jalen Brunson about is Tom Thibodeau the
right coach for the Knicks?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Gentlemhen you talk about the confidence. Obviously, I feel like
nobody takes more criticism than Tom, and this team obviously
has turned around during his tenure. Do you kind of
feel that going forward he's the same guy to sift
you guys the rest of the way at next level?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Is that a real question right now?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
He just asked me if I believe that, if he's
the right guy?
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Yes, thanks, guys, fun.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Come on, awkward, Is that a real question? What do
you think he's gonna say? First of all, and okay,
maybe you're trying to lead the witness a little bit.
Maybe maybe he gives you something, but he's going to
back his guy. Do you think he's the right guy? No, no,
I do not. All right, guys, that's it. Thank you
(07:04):
have good offseason? Yes, Todd, even in.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
A moment of terrible disappointment that if you don't love
the question, are you looking to embarrass the report of there?
Is there another way Brunton could have made his point.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Without Oh no, no, no, no, you're backing your guy. No, no, no.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
But you can't back him by saying, of course he's
our guys.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You have to say, come on, you're really asking me that.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well, I think in that situation you want to back
your guy. Maybe over back your guy. But yeah, I
probably would have said the same thing. Is he the
right guy?
Speaker 9 (07:34):
He's the right guy. We haven't lost any confience in him.
He's taken us this far and we'll go that much
further next year. Really, dude, that's what you got for me?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
But do you you don't blame the reporter for asking
that question.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
Not the greatest question, but the question was asked, and
you have an opportunity to embarrass him in front of
his peers. Or answer it short of make him feel foolish.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm going to side with Jalen Brunson with that just lost. Hey,
do you think Tom's still the guy to lead you?
Is that a Is that a real question?
Speaker 9 (08:07):
What would you say to those who think Tom Tibodeau
should be with another team next year and you should.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Have I would say, who are those people?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
There are people who say who who?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
No, No, I would turn it back on you because
that that is our fallback, you know where we go.
You know, people are saying I would say, who's saying
let me know who?
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Those people are nameless right now, but they are saying
that maybe's.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Not Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller saying that Timothy Shalomey is
saying that.
Speaker 10 (08:38):
Yes.
Speaker 11 (08:38):
See, you kind of sound like in forty year Old Virgin,
where they're like, uh no, just always ask questions to women.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You just ask whatever they say back, She's like, how
you doing? How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Can I help you find something? I don't know?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Can you help me try something? Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Pole?
Speaker 11 (08:57):
Question first hour is going to be what you like
to do it yourself? Let's see we got some options here.
How about this offseason? The Knicks need to make a
dot dot dot hmm, big move or minor tweaks.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, I think when they lost Isaiah Hartenstein, I really
liked him. I mean very underrated. Now he's playing for OKC,
but I mean Karl Anthony Towns, that's he says that
he is kind of revolutionizing the big man or whatever
his compliment was of his game. He is a skilled scorer.
(09:34):
But okay, if you have a defensive minded coach, you
got an undersized point guard and you got a big
man who's not really a big man. Okay, Now, Anonobi
and Mikale Bridges and Mitchell Robbins, Okay, Josh hart you
guys better play some really really good defense because those
guys can't. Okay, But I still inquire about Giannis. Absolutely,
(10:02):
I mean every team should. Toronto is another team that's
emerging now, there should be Boston should be in the
mix with this. But what are you giving? What are
you giving? Milwaukee? Obviously the Knicks would go, hey, we
want him, what are you giving up? Well, you're not
giving up Brunson. You know, Anonobe, you you got draft
(10:27):
picks and you know you got to make all this
work here. But we we live in a fantasy world.
Sometimes with these trades, we're like, man, their Knicks, they're
going to get this guy. It's like you know sports
radio call in people talking about the Yankees. You know,
we we we want to get this guy, and we're
going to give up you know, Luis Soto or whoever.
(10:48):
You know, Yes time, assuming.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
You're not giving up heart either, is that you giving
up Bridges and cat that's enough to get Yannis.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I don't even want to go down that road because
it's silly. It's it's you know, you're trying to put
pieces together and you got first round picks, and then
you're gonna throw in this and this and this and this.
It's really hard to make these kind of moves unless
sometimes you need a third team involved in this. But
do the Knicks need to make a move I think so.
I mean they made a move last season and then
(11:15):
all of a sudden they missed Julius Randall because Randall,
you know, he's a good passer and he'll play defense. Now,
all of a sudden they never should have gotten rid
of Julius Randall.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (11:28):
Yes, Seaton, right, you're gonna have to do like to
get Jannis. Karl Anthony Townsend like three first round picks
or something. So now now you're starting to look at
the twenty thirty draft, the first round, the conditional first round,
some of these things.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, it's tough because if you're going to trading there,
where are those draft picks going to be? I mean,
you're gonna get the twenty sixth pick in the draft,
because that's what it would be with the Knicks with
how they finished. So but all right, so we kind
of have a poll question here, the Nick should do
(12:05):
something small medium, Well, I.
Speaker 11 (12:07):
Should they'd make a big move or just some minor
tweaks in the offseason. I also am going to put
up their better better finals right now? Pacers Thunder or
Oilers Panthers. Hmm, which are you most looking forward to?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Well, I'm obviously a basketball fan. I want to see
what Indiana's offense can do against okay See's defense. Now
granted that's not tune in factor, just letting you know
in my world that's what I want to see because
there's you know, we always talk about sex appeal or
kind of the drive by with the remoter. Are you
(12:46):
going to stop if you're watching? You know that game
is on, and maybe you don't but if you're asking me,
okay sees defense against Indiana Pacers, I want to see
h Connor mcd david be great. You know, you got
the stage, you had the stage last year, and Florida
with what Florida has done and Tampa Bay prior to that,
(13:10):
I mean, it's pretty amazing. But watching the team not
panic the way Florida does is pretty remarkable. And Edmonton
might have the two best players in the finals with
you know, Conor McDavid and Dry title of course, who
never gets mentioned until the postseason on this show, Leon
(13:30):
Dry citle Yes, mart.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
We never hear about him until play the name.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's true, that is true. But that's on us, you know,
we we haven't been tuning into Edmonton games.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, Marvin next October, Leon Dry sitle yes, very night.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Hell yeah. Today. By the way, win or lose, we celebrate.
That's our model around here. Since we don't win, we
do lose and celebrate all remitting T shirts. Just ten

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Phone calls on Monday, best and Worst of the weekend.
Once you saw that you liked, you didn't like. The
Pacers were fifty to one to win the NBA title
to start the season, so if they win, they would
be the longest long shot to win the title in
the last forty years. Stat of the day, Sat of
(15:49):
the day, that Boss, stat of the day, stat of the.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Day here comes that what stat of the day?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I think you will? Ferrell and the Thunder are big
favorites to win the title if you go back since
two thousand and five, only the twenty eighteen Warriors had
shorter odds heading into the NBA Finals than OKC. So
Vegas is looking at this that OKC is going to win.
The question is in how many games? But it feels
(16:20):
like the Pacers have already won. OKC has to win
the title. You got the MVP, you dominated teams during
the regular season and the postseason, you got the home
court advantage. You should win the NBA title. And how
many times have we had the MVP Scoring champ and
(16:42):
the NBA Champion in the same year. I'm good to
guess Michael Jordan did that quite a few times. I
don't know if when's the last time somebody other than
Michael Jordan won the scoring title, won the MVP and
then won the NBA Championship. Did Steph Curry lead the
league in score when they won a title.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I don't think so. Maybe Shack, maybe two thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Shack, which is the last time the Pacers were in
the NBA finals quarter century, Yeah, twenty five years. Yeah,
we should check that because Shay Gilgen normally your leading scorer.
You're not going to the NBA finals. But I know
Jordan did it a few times, but Shay Gilgess led
the NBA in scoring. All right, we'll get to phone
(17:26):
calls here decide on our poll question. From hour one,
I thought body language wise, Tyrese Haliburton was ready to
walk up and get the Larry Bird trophy. Damn, he
took a step, not a travel though, No, No, if
(17:46):
he took three steps, then that would be a travel.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
The more I watch that video is more like he
euro stepped his way up there. The emotions become more
exaggerated the more I see.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
He took two small and then you have to go
back to steps. Was I surprised at that?
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I was?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
You know, he's the leader of the team. Pascal Siakam
is the hall of very good. But I thought Tyree's Halliburton.
It all goes through him. But you know, you have
a bad game, you know, the game five and then
all of a sudden and there's only like eight or
nine voters for this. But yeah, Pascal Siakam wins. I
(18:32):
was waiting for Tyrese Haliburton's dad to come on to
the floor. He'd have something to say about them.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Gus in La leads us off. Good morning, Gus, how
are you, buddy?
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Good morning, misstating hope you and the boys had a
great weekend. Yeah, that was the operator of the weekend
right there, that little up. No, you don't get to
cook me the best of the weekend. Even though we
lost last night. My Dodgers taking two out of the
three of the Yankees, including the eighteen to beat down
on Saturday. That was very refreshing to see. You know,
(19:04):
Dodgers haven't been playing that well a ball of late,
so for them to be able to do that soundly
against the Yankees quote unquote eights and next free that
was very positive. Size of the presssy worst to the weekend. No,
I mean, even though they're a little bit of a
rival of the Dodgers diving back a Corbyn Burns signaling
(19:27):
to the trainer to come out, and then he bounced
out the words that my elbows done, it's dead, and
never came back and now they're saying that it's even
done and over with. So speedy recovery for him. Always
good to see the Diamondbacks and Dodgers play the best
at the same time, and now that he's done kind
of puts the damper on the rivalry for the season.
(19:48):
But that's it for me. Boys. You boys had a
great week. You gotta take care.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Thank you, guys. Yeah, I watched a lot of the
Yankees and the Dodgers last night. Still a great environment
Dodger Stadium. Yeah, it just looks like it's out of
a movie, out of a picture, a portrait. The Rockies
were swept again, third fastest to fifty losses in baseball history. Congratulations,
(20:13):
they're now nine and fifty, nine and fifty and they're
getting blown out. They are getting out. They're on pace
to get outscored by what four hundred and fifty runs, Paulie.
Speaker 14 (20:26):
That was the pace last week. It's up to over
five hundred runs. Will be the run differential this season
at the current pace. To compare that, the White Sox
last year, which were all time bad, got outscored by
three hundred and ten runs.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
And when you look at just how bad they've been,
they've yet to win ten games. So they're nine and fifty,
third fastest to get to fifty losses. The teams that
did this before aren't even teams. You have to go
back to eighteen eighty four, the Kansas City Unions, the
eighteen seventy six Red Stockings, and the eighteen eighty nine
(21:01):
Louisville Colonels. They were embarrassing, yes, and then you throw
in the Colorado Rockies. Just when you thought baseball can't
be any worse after the White Sox last year, it
can be this is historical and not only to lose,
but to be blown out. They are on page to
(21:23):
be outscored by five hundred runs this year. Then it's
through fifty nine games so far. Kenny in La, Hi, Kenny,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Hey, Danny.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
I always enjoy hearing Dustin's takes. I was actually out
at the stadium on a Friday night to see the
Dodgers beat the Yankees. Dodgers were down side to tune
that game. It was an epic judge at at home
in the top of the first then so it hit
two home runs, so that was great. But in that
same game, we had a situation that occurred last year too.
(21:59):
So Otani in the sixth inning leads it off with
the second home of the game. They bat around our
number nine hitter, Rojas is up grounds into a double
play instead of going for a sacrifice buns to suicide
squeeze or just take the cave show. He has not
(22:21):
come up with many runs, many runners on this year.
In fact, if you look at it his RBI total,
it's it's unbelievably low for his twenty two homers. I
think he's at thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, but it's not important for guys to get on base.
The Yankees have a guy who has like thirteen home
runs and twenty six RBIs it just it used to
be walks as good as a hit, and then guys
tried to have two hundred hits in a season. It was,
you know, important, And I was wondering about that with
(22:52):
RBI totals, sort of where are we now because that
that was a big stat and somebody drive in one
hundred and thirty one hundred and four what he runs
and guys still do that. It's just there seems like
they're just more solo home runs. That's that's still prevalent.
Uh Andy and Rhode Island. Hi, Andy, welcome back.
Speaker 15 (23:14):
Good morning, Dan Dennet. It might be Monday, but there's
always tear one pressure.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
Dan.
Speaker 16 (23:19):
I have two best for you today, Dan.
Speaker 15 (23:22):
My first, it's gonna have to be with the TNT.
Speaker 16 (23:25):
Crew on it uh the NBA cant crew, the farewell
man it was Hotfeld, and it's you know, it's gonna
be great to see them continue continue their legacy on ESPN.
And my second best then celebrating my mom's birthday over
the weekend, she finally fired up.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
That that would Ridge series.
Speaker 15 (23:44):
Uh Trager, My goodness, Dan.
Speaker 16 (23:46):
She even said it should come with a with a
Warner label because it is just too good.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Dan.
Speaker 15 (23:51):
It's so good and we appreciate.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
It, but it's not that. Thank you, Andy, and happy
birthday to your mother. Firing up the Tragger Girl getting
a sponsorship plug in there. We appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
TNT said goodbye to Inside the NBA. Now moving to
the mother Ship, and Shack and Charles and Kenny and
Ernie said their goodbyes. Heartfelt by Ernie and I like
how every time Charles comes on, he reminds us or
the rest of the sports world and those at ESPN
not gonna work every day, not gonna be on the
(24:27):
morning show. I'm not gonna do get up, I'm not
gonna be doing this. I'm not gonna be doing that.
All right, good luck with that. I just don't know.
It's the esp andification of Inside the NBA that would
be the only concern that I would have with ESPN,
because when you think that you're smarter than everybody, or
(24:48):
you're gonna make something better, we gonna make it like
our you know, make it ESPN like you know, don't
do anything to it. Stay away from it. It's fool proof.
Don't be foolish and try to change it. Do something different.
You don't need to. Now you want to sprinkle in
stephen A, sprinkle him in, but just sprinkle. It's a
(25:13):
little bit because I don't want stephen A at the garden,
you know, being a Knick fan to open up the
season and handing the baton inside the NBA with those guys.
Let him come on, but they're the stars, not you
on their show. Let them still have their show. You
(25:33):
want to have Malika Andrews come in or I don't
know if Big Perk is going to be on since
Shaq and Charles have taken shots at him, but that
would be my only concern. Let inside the NBA, be
inside the NBA and try not to have it all
over the place. I mean, the beauty of it is
(25:56):
that you know, it wasn't on every night, you know,
so it was bite sized portion, so you'd look forward
to it. It'd be twice a week maybe and hopefully
it stays that way.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
ESPN has a way of you know, over exposure, you know, McAfee,
steven A, Dicky v Chris Berman, you know myself, probably
for a while, Stewart for a while. You know, they
do that, but we're on every day or every night,
and it's different. And that should help the inside the
(26:29):
NBA because you'll look forward to it. It'll be great
when it comes on. But I get the feeling Charles
might be working a little more than he thinks, a
little more than he thinks. Hey, we need you guys
to be at the SPI's what, yeah, we need you
to hand out an award? What yes?
Speaker 14 (26:49):
One of the great things about the NBA and T
and T. It felt like they were saying the things
we wanted to say. Barkley would say, I'm not staying
up for the Bobcats and he can make fun of
it or this game, or they would play segment where
Charles doesn't know the name of NBA players.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Do you think all that will be fine with the
new regime.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I don't know it's fine. I don't even know the
new regime. It just seems like they're just big on
personalities and whatever you say, whatever you do, they're fine
with that. I don't know. They're not exactly caught up
with journalism. I think this is more entertainment great. You know,
that's your hitch your wagon to this great you know
(27:30):
the great. Bob Lee came out and lament to the
fact that ESPN has kind of lost its way with journalism. Yeah,
they have, but you know, we're old school. That's how
I was brought up. That you still cover stories, you know,
you try to investigate. Now it just seems like just
to have an opinion. So what if you're wrong, You
(27:51):
move on and you lived it to have another hot take.
I mean, that's really what the business has become. It
shouldn't be, but that's what it's becomes about entertainment, not
necessarily the way we were kind of raised at ESPN,
and Bob Lee was the you know, the forefront. He
was the godfather of that. It was really really really
important to him. But ESPN you got to satisfy your shareholders.
(28:16):
You got to be like, hey, look at that stock,
you know, look at what we're doing. But they kept
the show together. That's the important part of it. And
hopefully they there's you know, no seat belt that they
have to wear. But we'll talk to Barkley coming up
next hour. Jeremiah in Indiana, h Jeremiah.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Hey, DP, thanks for taking my call best and worse
of the weekend. Obviously, without a doubt that the NBA
Pacers going to the NBA Finals for the second time
in twenty five years. It's phenomenal. And to get to
win in the house and that's just outstanding itself. Reggie
(28:58):
being present and the award ceremony and just you know,
it's still an emotional factor for all of us here.
And I wouldn't necessarily say the worst, but the downfall
is the ending of the TNT broadcast. Ernie was very,
very on point, and it's one of those that you know,
(29:19):
still kind of gets choked up a little bit because
it's the highs and lows of the game. The win
was outstanding, but then the somberness of the end of
the broadcast for tn T. Now those guys are going
to go on to ESPN. But the people that worked
for T and T that got the broadcast going, those
are kind of forgotten ones that we think.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
They all stay together. They're going to keep the show
in Atlanta. It's not leaving to go to Bristol, Connecticut.
It's not going to the Mothership. It's it's like McAfee
does his show in Indiana, Indianapolis. They just rent the show.
That's all this is inside the NBA. It's outsourced would
(30:01):
be the TV term probably for that. Adam in La Hi, Adam,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (30:08):
Add six, one, two, fifteen. Best of the week definitely
getting two teams the NBA Finals who have never won
a championship before. I always root for that in any
sport if my own team, which is the Clippers, So
that's not going to happen eight times soon, but yeah,
(30:29):
that's great to see. Worse for the week was Max
verstapp and intentionally crashing into George Russell at the Spanish
Grand Prix, which was just, uh yeah, that was kind
of mind blowing. So yeah, that's where I was at.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
All right, thank you, Adam, max Verse stopping he got
spank there a little bit. He said that he was
frustrated and then did that kind of out of character.
Uh but yeah, thank you for the phone call there.
Max Verse stopping Arnaldo in Charlotte, Arnaldo in charlottey five seventy.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
So I had a question, is the next season still
a success? I know they didn't win the championship that
he lost in the in the East of Conference finals,
but I'm a Knicks fan and we're and I think
we're in a positive trajectory here going towards the future.
I'm not dooming gloom. I think only one team wins
the championship and everybody else does not necessarily have a
failure as a season if they don't win the same ship.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah, it depends on the expectations. Because you could look
at the Cavaliers and say they had the best record
in the East. That might be a disappointment. The way
they went out the Boston Celtics with the injury to Tatum,
that's a disappointment the Knicks. I think the Knicks got
as far as I thought the Knicks were going to get.
(31:57):
I mean, keep in mind, the Cavaliers were a better team.
In my opinion, Indiana is a better team the Tatum injury,
with the Celtics, the Bucks having Dame Lillard's situation, the
seventy six ers aren't any good. So there was a
true opportunity here and you didn't take advantage of it.
Does Milwaukee do something with Giannis? I believe so. Do
(32:19):
the Celtics do something? Do the Cabs do something? So
it's not just do the Knicks do something. What about
the other teams, yes, Heaton.
Speaker 11 (32:27):
Yeah, I mean I think listening to what you just
said there, they got way further than anybody would have
thought they could have. I mean, just they shouldn't have
gotten by Really, they shouldn't have gotten by any of
those teams.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yeah, you go back to that game one loss against
Indiana with Haliburton, and I know we can do what
it could have, should have all of that. But I
can also go back to a call that wasn't made
in the Detroit series in Detroit, whether it was a
foul that should have been called him, it's breaks of
the game. It's luck obviously their skill. But if I'm
(32:58):
a Knicks fan, do I look at them as a success?
I would say yes, I would. Now moving forward, you're
not going to win a title with that team, in
my opinion, you're not going to Boston. Should still be good,
but you know, I don't see Porzingis or Drew Holliday
there next season. Would you make a deal with Jalen
(33:20):
Brown and get Jannis in there? How about that?
Speaker 14 (33:25):
I did the eyebrow raise on that one when you
did that one.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
How about that? Because I'd certainly now they may not
want to trade Jannis in the East, but i'd certainly
explore that.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Yes, Marvin, Well, if you're a Knicks fan, I think
beating the Celtics was a big deal and they said,
all we got to do is beat the Pacers. There's
no Calves, there's no Bucks, there's no Celtics. It's just
a team that we think we can beat. And for
them to lose that I think at least a sour
taste Knicks fans mouth.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Well, they geared up to beat the Celtics. Their roster
was to beat the Celtics. It's like teams would do
this with the Patriots. You kind of devised your team
because that's the team you were going to have to
beat eventually, and the Celtics were wounded. Nicks end up winning,
But you know, Indiana was a better team. Cleveland to
(34:16):
me was a better team. Yes, Marvin, Yeah, the Knicks
have a history of doing this.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
I think the Knicks they geared up to beat the
lebron Heat, but they ended up losing to the Pacers
because they had nobody to stop Roy Hibbert, Like, so,
you know what, we're trying to stop this one team,
but we can't beat this team.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
You know players to win the scoring title, win the MVP,
and win an NBA title in the same season Marvin
Bloop bloop Shack in two thousand. Jordan did it four times,
and prior to that, Kareem Abdul Jabbar with the Bucks

Corey in Wisconsin, Hi Corey, Hi Corey.
Speaker 18 (37:27):
Hey Danny, great talking to you. I have a best
and a worse. My best is the Brewers sweeping the Phillies.
We're affecting high hopes, or we have high hopes for
the Brewers just because we know we're going to use
Lewis Jannis here in Wisconsin. The worst is doing yard
work this week and I hurt my back, which I
have a double header. I'm forty years old. I play
(37:48):
right center and I bat fift and now my status
is up in the air. So I'm hoping my trainer
aka my wife can get me in shape and ready
to go.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
All right, Well, good luck with that, Corey. Keep an
eye out for the highlights on Sports Center. Eric in Indiana,
Hi Eric, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5 (38:07):
Hey?
Speaker 19 (38:07):
DP, have we doing six?
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 19 (38:12):
That's best and kind of best. Worst of the weekend.
I was in Unich for the Champions League final, go PSGH,
and then had to you know, don't tell the authorities,
had had to channel a stream for the Pacers game
at two o'clock in the morning over there, and really
haven't sleepsance in but but go Pacers.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
All right, well thank you, Eric. Yeah, I saw the
rioting after PSG one. I never understood when you win
and you riot. When you lose, okay, maybe you're upset,
but when you win and then you all of a
sudden start ripping up your your city, I don't get it.
Baker and Bozeman, Hi, Bake, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 19 (38:54):
Tap Bunny?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Danny? Hello Dan.
Speaker 20 (38:56):
You're talking about the T and T crew and the
coming to ESPN, and you know that Charles doesn't want
to get sucked into all these ESPN shows. I think
that the great model to emulate would be when Troy
Aikman and Joe Buck came over to do Monday Night Football.
You don't see those guys on every other show on ESPN.
They're still their own special thing, and I think that
he and he could absolutely got to emulate that model.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Well, you're gonna want Charles on your show. I mean,
I love Troy and Joe. They're nowhere near the star
power that you know, Shack and sure certainly Charles. But
they did do Sports Center. You'd see Troy and Joe
on a Monday Night they'd be doing Sports Center. I
just you know, every show is gonna want those guys
(39:41):
always yes, yes.
Speaker 11 (39:43):
Yeah, I tend to agree with the caller and that
I think that the days of like the car wash
for superstar talent like that are pretty much over. And
I don't think you're bringing in Charles Barklay and he's
going to be there for twelve straight hours and he's
got a hit on radio and that he's doing dot
com and then he's going over to news and then
he's doing like all of that crazy stuff where it's like, what,
(40:04):
I don't really think that talent like that they I
don't think they treat those.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Guys that way.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
It was always my philosophy, my advice when somebody would
ask me, hey, think about going to ESPN, and I said,
even Jason Kelcey, I said, just be careful, you don't
get caught in the car wash, because you don't want
to water down all the things that you could be
saving for yourself. And he had his podcast with his
brother and he was doing Monday Night Countdown. So for
(40:31):
the most part, he has steered clear of that. And
maybe there is that mindset of let's not overwork, over
expose the talent that we're bringing in now. Stephen A.
Is going to overexpose himself. He signs up for everything.
He's involved in everything, and he's very popular because of that.
And McAfee does the same thing. Those guys they love
(40:51):
to work. But Charles loves to golf, Charles loves to gamble.
Charles doesn't want to be in a car wash. But
we'll talk to about that. I'm sure that he will
tell us of what his role. I don't even know
if he signed his contract. Lives he part of ESPN?
Now are they? Are they officially part or do we
wait till the NBA season? So Charles will join us?
(41:12):
Coming up a little bit phone calls eight seven to
seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter
handle a TP show see would you update the poll
results from the first hour of the program.
Speaker 11 (41:25):
Yeah, we got up there right now this offseason, the
Knicks need to make a big move or just some
minor tweaks right now, minor tweaks has about sixty percent
of that vote.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
Boy, it feels like it's going to be a little
more than a minor tweak there. Yeah, you didn't utilize
any depth. Did you have depth? You just decided not
to use it. Karl Anthony Towns. Can you build around
him and Jalen Brunson. Brunson, you can. I don't know
about Karl Anthony Towns. We asked Charles Barkley about that
(41:58):
coming up.
