My Golden Knights at the Hurricanes Game two coming up tonight.
(01:11):
Last night, the Knicks over the Spurs by ten. There
was a twenty four point turnaround. The Knicks were down
by fourteen and then all of a sudden they end
up winning by ten. The scary part is now the
Spurs won't play this badly, but the Knicks will play
better because Brunson didn't have a great game for the
(01:33):
first three quarters. But you want to talk about a closer,
and there's very few of these players. There's a lot
of guys who were great those first three quarters. Fourth quarter.
Jalen Brunson has been unbelievable and the numbers back this up.
In the fourth quarter this postseason, he's shooting fifty nine
percent from the floor, sixty two percent from three point range,
(01:57):
ninety three percent from the free throw line. He has
every shot he's got, you know, go right, shoot left,
(02:18):
go left, shoot left, pull up, little tear drop. He
can shoot the three. And he didn't have a good
game last night. I mean, that's the scary part. The
Spurs and Victor wemben Yama looked a little spent, and
understandably so. But Wemby is settling for threes that can't happen.
(02:40):
He's got to go inside to then go outside. You
gotta put some people in foul trouble. I don't want
you shooting threes. Now you can shoot threes, I don't
want you taking nine threes. Dearon Fox has to act
like a guy who's getting paid fifty million dollars a year,
because that's an embarrassing notion. I didn't understand. It felt
(03:04):
like Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor
there for a while, and then all of a sudden,
I go, where is Dylan Harper? So there were a
few things that were kind of puzzling last night. But
Darren Fox, now this is a guy who once won
the Clutch Player of the Year award back in twenty
twenty two. Twenty twenty three, Harper scores sixteen, their leading
(03:26):
scorer midway through three quarters. He plays four minutes in
the fourth quarter. I don't know if there was something else,
if there's injury, if there's analytics, but I was puzzled
by that. Carl Anthony Towns, come on down. You played great,
and this is what you wanted from Chad Holmgren. You
(03:49):
wanted aggression, and this is what Karl Anthony Towns did.
He took it to Victor Winbinyama and lived to tell
about it. That was one of the big differences, Josh Hart.
If you look at the stats and you go, man,
not a good shooting night. He did everything else. We
talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Every team
(04:11):
has one of these guys. If you're winning a championship,
you gotta have one of these guys. Could be Caruso
with OKC. I mean, down through history, championship teams have
one of these guys. You had fifteen rebounds, you have
six assists, four steals. He was plus twenty two when
(04:33):
he was on the floor. A glue guys what we
called them, but man, every loose ball. I was surprised
if somebody else got a loose ball when he was
on the floor. He was that impressive. Here is Jalen
Brunson being asked about the comeback, and you.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Guys comebacks in so many games. Resilience has been the
story of your season. Is there a sense of calm
or familiarity when you're in that situation, you know, trailing
in the second half. I don't want to say calm this,
but I think we know what we have to do.
I think we're a pretty together group, be able to
trust each other and still just get to you to
fight out each other's back, and just know that we
(05:11):
gotta keep chipping away, chippy away. It's a credit to
the ben teller we have as a team. But I
mean we catch just be satisfied that we have a
long way to go. We a lot of things we
can do to be better, but have it begin with
a win.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, this isn't a coincidence. This is who they are.
This is their identity. Down twenty two, we'll come back,
down fourteen NBA Finals, We'll come back. And that's one
of those each possession, this is what coaches tell you.
You're not gonna have a ten point play. Each possession,
each possession, chip away, chip away, chip away. And that's
(05:45):
what they did last night. But when you look at
the Spurs, I looked at their turnovers. Half of their turnovers.
We're in the fourth quarter. That's a tired team. And
I give credit to the Knicks. You know, they put
the pressure on them, even Jalen Brunson was playing defense.
Now I don't stats can lie sometimes, but according to
(06:07):
the Mothership, the Spurs were one for fourteen with Jalen
Brunson as the primary defender, including zero for seven in
the second half. When did he become Gary Payton? I mean,
do you want that? Because we've heard all along Kat
and Brunson don't play defense very well. Last night, I
(06:27):
didn't think the Knicks played well. I think they played
well when they needed to, and the Spurs got to
figure out exactly what is their game plan and stick
to it because it felt like, hey, this guy comes in,
because that's what we've done all along, We're going to
take that guy out. It felt analytical. It felt a
little too you know, like think analytic dependent, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
And another thing was I thought somebody like Jose Alvarado
had a really big end of the first half when
Brunston got hurt with that knee injury, when Harrison Barnes
went into his knee and he came in to sub in,
he came up big here, like seven points. And if
you get seven points from Jose Alvarado, yeah, that's huge.
Landry Shammon thirteen points. If you get twenty points out
(07:13):
of those guys, that is huge because you're not expecting
that from night.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, Knicks fans have reminded me. Didn't you say the
Knicks didn't have a great bench yet? You're right, I did,
but they did last night and we talked about this.
There is something about this team and it is a team.
It is a team. When I talk about Spurs, I
usual just talked about Victor Webbenyama with the Knicks. Yes,
(07:37):
it's bruns and heavy, but it is a true team.
Og nanobe like, you're gonna ask these guys to just
give me something, and it might be your defense against Wemby.
It might be, you know, give me five minutes, come
in and spell this guy. Whatever it is, the Knicks
will play better, but the Spurs better. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
The other thing I was wondering you mentioned this before
not playing Dylan Harper much in the fourth quarter. Do
you think that's some type of analytics play where you
stick to the plan that got you where you are now?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
It felt like it, yeah, because could you analytics people
ignore their gut? I would assume, I believe, so. I
don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I think there's just a feeling sometimes you've been at
a game, or maybe you've been in a game where
all of a sudden you just go it's my night,
or it's not my night, it's not our night, and
you might have to disrupt that. But it felt like
Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor for
a little while there and then all of a sudden
(08:48):
he didn't get to play. Yes, uh, yes, touch and analytics.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Often to me speak to normally in this situation or
generally or usually it is no definites even with numbers,
so there is room for or gut instinct though as
far as what you're saying, it's an off night or
I just have a thing, this guy should be playing
more minutes, So this one needs.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
To come out, yes, Dylan, Yeah, and analytics makes more
sense in uh, slower paced sports like football and baseball.
But there's basketball such a momentum thing and it's constant,
so it's like there's a flow, particularly in the playoffs,
where it's like sometimes you just got to use some intuition.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think, yeah, I agree with that that baseball is
a matchup and it's a pitch and then you you know,
everything slowed down. This is I mean, you want to
use analytics playing blackjack, I'm fine with that, but there's
a flow to the game, there's a there is a
gut feeling, and I think gut feeling should override analytics
(09:42):
at times, and it you know, you're dependent on that
and it's like you got a notebook and it tells
you what to do. But it felt like there was
something that was off. Also, at the very end of
the game, Jalen Brunson goes to Scott Foster and he
said something, but he he's saying something to Scott Foster,
(10:04):
but he's saying it past Scott Foster, like something is
going on here. And I didn't know if he was
complaining about he was getting banged up, because you know,
he got banged up twice last night. But Chris Haynes,
great NBA reporter, is going to join us next hour,
and he talked to Brunson about that moment, So I
(10:24):
don't know what was going on. But he was animated
is too strong of a word, but he was bothered
by something. Now, I don't know, it's not like Scott
Foster goes, you know, hey, why are you yelling at me?
Or don't be talking to me that way. He was
saying something as if was there something in the crowd.
It was just a moment that I thought was out
(10:47):
of character for Jalen Brunson. But we'll find out about
that coming up next hour. Your phone calls are welcome.
You got to pull question for the first hour of
the program, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Yeah, we have a couple Dan for starters. What was
the bigger impact on the game last night, the Knicks
playing well or the Spurs playing objectively not well.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well, I think the Knicks made the Spurs not play well,
So I'm giving the Knicks the credit here. They played.
They played like I expected them to play. I thought
Brunson would be better. He didn't play well early, but
then all of a sudden, it's fourth quarter, game on
the line, ball in his hands. Things happen, Karl Anthony
(11:28):
Towns being aggressive, Josh Hart being aggressive, OG and Nnobi
being aggressive, guys coming off the bench contributing. I mean,
if you can win games and Brunson doesn't play like
we expect him to get thirty five, that's kind of
scary because you've already got the split here in San Antonio.
Now you're five and a half point underdogs coming up
(11:49):
in Game two, which doesn't matter to the Knicks, but
I'm just saying this for the betting crowd. You've already
gotten what you wanted to get here. Now you go
for the jugular. Now you go, Hey, you know what,
let's push them even harder this time around. Uh. If not,
you go back to the garden, and the garden is
(12:10):
going to be waiting. I think that'll be an interesting
element here of the aggression. You know, the spurs. I
don't know where you get your energy from. If you
don't have it in game one, where are you getting
it in game two? Yes? Doing Yeah, And.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
It's like the Knicks are basically playing with house money relative.
You know, you go in to San Antonio as underdogs
when a slug fest in game one, and it's like,
whatever happens next game? If they lose, we're back to
square one.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
What's what are the other pool questions?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Paula sent one over. Okay, if you need a two
to win a playoff game, who are you taking Jalen Brunson,
Shag Gilgess, Alexander Luka, Doncic or other?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Well, it's gonna be recency biased. I would take Brunson
because I've seen it happen late in games, and that's
if you're talking about, Hey, you got a you're taking
a two here. Well, I'm assuming we're not talking about
first three quarters. We're talking about late in the game.
Brunson gets his shot, and he's got every shot. Now,
(13:12):
I know Luca has every shot. Shay gilgis no not
necessarily a great three point shooter. There's a lot of
guys who can get points, get buckets. But I've seen
Brunson do this at a very high level, and I
would I would take him. He has this inate ability.
(13:33):
And I talked to Reggie Miller about this. It's you
gotta know angles and Paulie and I talk about Chris Paul.
Chris Paul wasn't really that athletic. He wasn't big, he
wasn't strong, he wasn't quick, not a jumper. He just
floated and he looked for the angle. He looked for
his spot. And that's what Brunson does. Steve Nash used
(13:55):
to do this. Nash would go underneath the basket, you know,
like Gretzky would get behind the net and then feed
his teammates. Steve Nash would just kind of room and
then they look for their moment. And that's what Brunson does.
It's I need to get to that spot, or if
I don't get there, I can get there. He always
(14:15):
has a plan B and I think that's the beauty
of seeing creative scores. And he is truly a creative
score because he has to be. It's not like he
can go I'm Durant. I'm seven foot and I'm you know,
seven to nine wingspan. See if you can get my shot.
Runson's not a big guy.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yes, Jim Durant though, prime Durant. If you need a
two to win a game? Oh maybe all time?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
He yes, absolutely, Yeah, he's one of the greatest scorers
all time. I mean, you're not picking somebody where I go.
I didn't think of him. Kevin Durant. How many points
has he scored? I don't know, thirty thousand? Couple? All right, Well,
take a break. Phone calls coming up, settle on a
poll question. Got a busy day on this Thursday. We're
(15:06):
back after this.

question not answered last night. You got Keldon Johnson sixth
Man of the Year. You play him eight minutes four
minutes less than Harrison Barnes two minutes less and Luke
Cornett okay, uh? The darn Fox mystery. Dylan Harper sitting out,
(16:08):
not really playing much in the fourth quarter four minutes.
So some puzzling movements there last night as it kind
of melted down for the Spurs. There's a fan that
ran on to the court taking a selfie with Victor Wendanyama.
I'm surprised we don't have more of that in the
NBA because of the proximity of the seats. You know,
(16:33):
where a football stadium, baseball stadium. You know you have
to jump over, jump down, run too basketball. You're kind
of right there. No nobody in the front row is
going to do it because they don't want to give
up those expensive seats first five rows. You're not going
to be doing that. But somebody ran on the floor
taking a selfie with Victor wen Danyama ushrim off police, Like, oh,
(16:57):
there should be a moment where these security guys get
to rough him up and I go, no, no, no, I.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Would not be polite with him as he's escorted off
the floor. They should make sure that he was really
close to Wemby, like arm's length and security. I know
doesn't expect it, but don't. I don't think he deserves politeness.
Anyone deserves politeness when they run.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
On the floor. Well, you won't get politeness when we
get you out of the specter of eighteen thousand fans. Now,
you just don't let him back in. He doesn't get
to go back to a game. That's it.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Yeah, Dylan, I feel like it feels different if it's
like a girl runs onto the court, it feels like
less of like a potentially threatening thing than a guy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, no, no, you can't think that way. No, I
mean MORGANA the Kissing Bandit used to do this all
the time. But MORGANA was a very endowed stripper. I
think we're retired stripper. There you go and she I
mean it would take her a while to get to,
(18:03):
you know, Nolan Ryan on the mound. I g'd be like,
and here she comes Morgan of the Okay, I got that.
But then when guys run on the football field, I
have no problem with you tackling them. I mean, in
that environment, you can tackle them. And now I hope
football players don't do that, but if they happen to,
(18:23):
it's okay. Run on the field. Hey, look at me.
Baseball guys running in the outfield running away from security guys, yes,
time and.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Security I would think are trained.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
They have to assume the worst.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
This person isn't necessarily going to just look for a
photo or shake someone's hand and hug them.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
You know, I don't know what they got carrying in
their in their pocket.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
By the way, that's quite an outfit you got on today.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Thanks.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
I'm on the Mix of City Dance team.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
With my wristbands.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You look like if there's an AARP version of the
Knicks dance team. Well, no, just your age, but you
have your Knicks shirt on.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I got Nicks pants and I got Royal blue wristbands
and it's kind of goofy, but I thought I dress
you know, I like to play dress up at the
news of the day, you know, warrants.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I don't know if it's called playing dress up.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I called play dress up.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Well, for a fifty six year old man to put
on something that like maybe you know, a seven year
old would wear, that's gonna questionable.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, well, you are a diehard Knicks fan.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
I'm all about the Knicks.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, yes, Paul, Okay, let's be the jury for this
young man who ran on the court. I looked it
up and I don't think he's been given a punishment yet.
But here are some of the recent punishments for people
have run on the court in the NBA. The home
team can ban him for life or for the rest
of the season. There could be criminal charges for trespass
or disorderly conduct, or a league wide ban. The entire
(19:47):
NBA can bar the individual. What would you guys do?
Just not let him come back in the arena.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
That's it. I mean, do I give him a lifetime ban.
I'd have to know more about him. It's not a
big deal to me. Like he came on the floor, Okay,
something stupid happens, nobody got hurt. Take him off the floor.
You don't let him back for a year? Great? Move on? Yes? Yes,
uh Marvin, I'm going.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
With a lifetime band.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I grew up with the motto, you play stupid games,
you win stupid prizes.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I got I don't.
I mean, I saw it. It's unfortunate it happens. Get
him off the floor, move on, Yes, Dylan, What.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Do you think would be the most fun one to do?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Like?
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Which one to run on? I play baseball, right, you
get to run, maybe get the second base, round one
of the bases and before you get tackled. I know,
so running on taking a selfie? I once he had
to do one. No, I wouldn't do any of them.
Never even thought about it. Like, man, I could run
right there.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I could jump over and run onto the field and
then do what.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Well, there was that guy who at the super Bowl
he met on there to be a streaker at the
super Bowl and then he's sat the game. That's pretty brilliant.
I'm sure they probably took They probably canceled the bet
after they found out that he fixed it.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But yes, Marvin, I know who should have gotten fired
the security at the Atlanta Braves when Hank Aaron hit
seven fifteen and those two guys came on. Hank Aaron
was getting death threats here, I know, and you let
these two guys on, like who's watching?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And apparently they had snipers up on the roof of
Fulton County Stadium because they were worried about something happening
with Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record. Okay, there's more
at stake there. He got death threats, hate mail, so
the Braves were well aware this was a black player
breaking a white player's all time record. So there's two
(21:44):
guys that meet him at shortstop unfortunately and ruin the
moment for one of my heroes. And at home plate,
Craig Sager is the guy in the white trench code
holding a radio microphone. They should have kicked Sager out
of there too. He's there at home plate with Hank
(22:05):
Aaron crossing home plate. Craig Sager's there with a trench
coat and he's holding a little microphone. I don't even
know if Seger was on radio any place. I don't
think Seger ever got in trouble with that. But these
two knuckleheads who are rounding the bases with Hank Aaron
when he got to short stop, and you can see
(22:26):
Hank trying to knock them off like they're patting him
on the back. He doesn't know. I mean, they showed
some of the letters that he got during that home
run chase. Embarrassing, sad and here he is breaking that
record and two guys run on the field. What do
(22:48):
you think Hank is thinking? And that was a sad,
sad moment that they took away one of the great
moments of his life.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Yeah, pol, going back to last night, I just watched
the play again with the fan ran out of the court.
The ball was in play, it wasn't between shots or
something like that. So the Knicks actually got penalized a
bit on the play because Dylan Harper threw the ball.
The Knicks were about to complete a steal, but the
ball was not in anyone's hands, so the refs had
to talk and do a jump ball that the Spurs
(23:18):
got back. So the Knicks actually lost a possession on
that play.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Age seven seven to three DP show email address DP
at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled a DP show
Did we settle on a pull question? Dylany?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Yeah, we got those two up right now. Do you
want some early results?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Sure, why not?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Bigger impact on the game last night? Fifty three percent
say the Spurs playing poorly over the Knicks playing well?
All right, and then if you need to to win
a playoff game, who are you taking Jalen Brunson, Sga,
Luka Donci or other little recency bias. Jalen Brunson's got
thirty seven percent.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Now, if you said you got first pick and you
take Jalen Brunson and I get Sga, I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that because Sga is more unstoppable but
runs in big game fourth quarter. It's not a coincidence.
He finds a way to find a bucket. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
What about this? What if you need a guy to
flop at the end of the game to go to
the line. Who you're taking Brunson or Sga?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Uh? Sga?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, it's kind of writing the book on that, like
an instructional video. And Sga teaching you how to flop.
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Chris and Syrahcuse starts us off this morning. Good morning, Chris, Hey.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Thank you. Danny had a few comments on last night's game,
And if you watch that clip of Hank Aaron, he
looked very nervous when that happened, and in fands, we're
very vocal. Last night at times they took over the crowd.
And yeah, when that nut job came on the floor
for the selfie with Wemby, Wemby's so tall, he only
got as high as Wemby's jersey, and it was too
(25:03):
bad because Wemby had a little smirk on his face
like he was kind of entertained by it. Yeah, Wemby
really takes everything and strive. And last night the Spurs
looked a little overwhelmed by the moment and in contrast,
the next looked like the veteran team in comparison, which
they are. And I agree with you, Dan totally. Kat
to me was the key factor in that game. He
(25:26):
kept the Knicks in it defensively and offensively till brunts
and heated up and Yeah, to me, Karl Anthony Towns
was the MVP last night.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, he was aggressive. That's what I wanted. Take it
to Wemby and just continued to do that. You know,
and sometimes it can be really simplistic, like it's not intricate.
It's not like the triangle offense. It's just we need
you to do this tonight, or this guy isn't scoring,
we need you to help score. But I thought San
(25:55):
Antonio looked tired, and certainly in the fourth quarter, your
shot us are short and there's turnovers. That's a tired team.
Lucas Texas, Hi, Luke, Hey, then good morning, good morning.
You know, a couple of quick comments about the game.
You kind of mentioned already this was a roster win.
(26:17):
It felt like if you felt like the Knicks roster
overall played better. I think there were two key.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
Moments and you kind of alluded to it. It was
in the third quarter. I think the Spurs were up
by something like thirteen. Wimby came out for a couple
of minutes and that's where Kat really got aggressive. I
think they got a quick eight points. It's just remarkable
how instantaneously their offensive mindset switched and they were much
more aggressive in the paint with Wimby out. That was
(26:43):
really great to see. The second thing was gruntson towards
the end. Obviously he's just a master of the backboard,
of just the angles that you were saying. But I
think the big reason why he's so much more likable
than SGA style of plays, even though he was also
trying to get to the line trying to get some fouls,
it felt like he never lost the chance to try
to actually make the basket, Like making the basket was
(27:05):
more important than the potential of two free throws. He
was always about two and one, and so I think
that's why it's just a lot more endearing. It just
felt a lot more competitive from him than a lot
of SGA stuff over the last couple.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Of weeks, Thank you, Lucas. Victor had twenty six twelve
three blocks, but he had six turnovers. I mean, these
are nice numbers, but this is where you watch a
game and you get a different feel than just seeing
highlights and looking at the box score, because if you
watch the game, you're like, damn, Josh hart is everywhere
(27:37):
you look at the box score. He didn't shoot well,
but he did everything else. And if he can give
you a surprising number in any of those categories, it's
such a value. Like what do you need for me
to do? We need you to rebound, all right, we
need you to distribute. Okay, because this is when the
(27:59):
chess match really starts. This next game, this is when
it starts because New York is going to expect something.
The question is what is Mike Brown expecting and what
is san Antonio going to give them? What is going
to be different? I would say to Wemby, no threes.
No threes to start the first first half. No threes inside.
(28:22):
Now if he hits him, I might be saying something different,
but we've said before. I want him inside to then
come outside. I want you to establish yourself, get some
fouls called, and then then if you go out on
the perimeter, you want to take some threes. Great. It
felt like he was settling, like he was running kind
(28:44):
of from three point line to three point line, and
I don't want him out guarding somebody outside the three
point line. You've got the reach there, come back. I
want you. He was expending too much energy on things
that he didn't need to. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I thought the big thing was he's got to defend Cat.
So he had his arms up and Cat pump fakes
and kept driving to the basket. And he's making him
work on the defensive end. And even those guys were
getting good looks at the basket because Wenby had to
stay out there with Cat, because Cat with a Triller
three pointer is money out there, game changer.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah. I want you tired. I want them running Wemby
Rick in Vegas, Hi, Rick, what do you have for
me today?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Dan, thanks for calling me.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
I got a conspiracy theory for you. So you notice
how I call it the Fritzy curse because you notice
how like McLevin was in the back row, then Seating
and now Dylan. Well, mclovin and Seatan are both gone.
How long before Delan's gone? And just for for Fritzie's
purpose A little rhyme, right, because it's mclob ben, cheat
(29:51):
Pin and Delan. All I can say is Marvin staying
in the front row.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Brother, Wow? Wow, very interesting.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Yeah, different kind of numerology there.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, kiss of death back here, I know, deep dive
on the back road. Let's see Seth in West Virginia, Hi, Seth,
Hey Dan, thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 12 (30:14):
So yesterday, as you and Todd celebrated your anniversary, my wife,
Courtney and I celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary. It's
been of a tradition over the last couple of years
that Fritzy Sarah neades us with a little Bruce Springsteen.
So if he can give us a little squawk off,
it would be much appreciated. Thanks, guys, keep up all
(30:35):
the good work.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
All right, well, thank you, Seth, Todd, you got it
in you to.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Have to sit put out a kiss of bed heaving by.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Well the split up against its tuve gone by.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Now all right, heppy anniversary, Oh yeah, all right, all right,
come on now.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
Okay real oh now.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yes, Marvin, sorry, going back to the game real fast.
When Web put it on the floor, those guys were
in the cookie. Their hands were all in the cookie
jars Alvarado, Heart Annobe Michel Bridges. So they won't lett
him get a clean drive to the basket because he
kept putting it on the floor.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Yes, when it's on the floor, it's fair game.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Whenever a big man puts the ball on the floor,
go get it. Yes, still and back.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
To Todd for a second. That was my first live
Bruce Springsteen. I think getting to like watch it in person.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yes, it's yeah, how did it feel? He gets very pink.
There's definitely some veins popping. Yeah, well he's got the
guns popping today with that T shirt.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Man, no little stuck in the waist, in the hips
in a lot of places.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, well, it's very form fitting.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
You gotta find the shirt where it's tight on the
arms and chest and then a lot more forgiving as
you go down.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I think you need blousey. I think that's the word
you're looking.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
For, and there's a company that does that. It's like
the sleeves are and then it's like it hides your
gut in the middle. I forget the name of it,
but I think they made a killing Oh okay, true classic.
Oh maybe that's it. Yeah, I don't know. I saw
them as like, that's brilliant. It's like spanks for dudes.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Like the untuck it because it's a brutal If I
try to tuck in a shirt, that's just not a
good Stine.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Well, it's good that you don't have to tuck in
a shirt anymore. Like it's okay, Like there was that
point where you go, man, so I can untuck my
shirt and it's okay. I don't know when that started,
but it has to be a decade right where you go, Yeah,
it's okay, you can walk with your shirt tail out. Yes, put.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I hesitate to bring this up, but what do you
guys think about white sneakers with suits on TV?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Hate it?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
It kills the suit. You could have a thousand dollars
suit on it and if you're wearing white sneakers.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, but you can find thousand dollars white sneakers too. Yeah.
It's like it's not for me. If I'm getting if
I'm putting a suit on, then I'm gonna put dress
shoes on.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
It's bad tires on a Porsche. That's what it is
to me.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But I get at my daughter's wedding, I'm not gonna
wear a tuxedo in there. Then wear sneakers.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
No sneakers and tuxedo would be a wild combo.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
But I've been to weddings where you get guys who
wear the low top Chuck Taylor black Converse with their tuxedos.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
This was in Brooklyn, right, No, the hipsters. Yeah, yes, marvn.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I went to a wedding where the groom and all
the grooms men wore air Jordan elevens with their tuxis.
And the thing was the wife already knew. She was like,
she has to know.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, you can't surprise her. Yeah you want. No,
there's going to be surprises at your wedding on or
your reception. There will be. You just want to make
sure you clue your wife in on what doesn't have
to be a surprise. Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Can't imagine that pitch being like, all right, sweetheart, So
the entire groomsmen are gonna look like the cast of
Space Jam for the wedding, all wearing Jordan elevens. I
don't know that. I feel like the wife to be
would care about that.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Well, she might not, but you have to run a buyer.
You can't go. I got a surprise for you. I
had a friend that they wrote h ELP on the
bottom of his shoes, so when he's kneeling at the altar,
everybody started laughing because they put help on the bottom
(34:32):
of his shoes. Yes, Martin, that was the.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Only request that he had. And the thing was the
wife like I know both of him. She was like, well,
I know who I'm married. Yeah, right, Like, if you
know him, you know he's gonna wear these like it
is fine. And if you look at those shoes, they
look clean, the patent leather. Those are the sneakers that
you would wear.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I'm alright with that.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Were they the conquered elevens.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
But you know, here's another thing. They don't do the
cut the cake anymore at all. I've been to like
three weddings recently and the bride and groom didn't cut
the cake. They brought pieces of the cake out, but
they didn't do the ceremony. I don't I don't know
if they want to speed up, you know, the reception
(35:16):
here we uh, due to time constraints, there will not
be any cutting of the cake.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Yes, Mark, have you ever have you ever been to
a wedding where the bride and groom smashed each other?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah? Yeah, that's bad. It's bad because the bride spends
so much time looking her best. I hate it, Yes, Ton, Well, if.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
They just put like a little bit on each other's
cheek or nose, just a little fun shot to put
for the.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Feed each other, but not smash her in the face.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Yes, if there is anyone who would be against wasting cake,
you think it'd be tied.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
I'm finally just like a little did like a little
cute thing.

for me? Good morning, Dan? What's up? Dan?
Speaker 13 (38:11):
As then, the intensity of both hockey and NBA has
been just phenomenal. I don't think we could have asked
for a better final for both for both series going on.
But I will say last night watching the San Antonio game,
I felt like the New York crowd was dominated. It's
almost like they had a play full of mixed fans
(38:32):
that went down there specifically to hold it down. And
it got to the point where I was thinking San
Antonio fans just passive. I might be upsending a whole
fan base, but in my opinion, you cannot let another
fan bases go in there and run it. And I
felt like they suck the air out of that arena.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Well, they were loud, there were more Spurs fans, the
Knicks fans were vocal. It's I can't overstate how important
this is to the city of New York work. This
fan base. This is crazy generational. They've had nothing at all.
(39:09):
If you're under thirty, you've had nothing. Even older than that,
I mean, you've had appearances in the NBA Finals, they
didn't go well. You got to go back to nineteen
seventy nineteen seventy three. It almost skipped another generation. And
now you have a younger generation and they will not
be denied. They will do They're gonna do whatever it
(39:32):
takes to be those fans on the road at home
to make sure that they win a title. Yes doing.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
I saw this from yesterday from boardroom. The cost to
attend Game three of the NBA Finals at the Gardens
in the four thousand dollars range. The cost the combined
cost to attend all the remaining home games for the Yankees, Mets,
New York Giants, and New York Jets this year is
about four thousand dollars. Get in price and.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
You got something magical here, the potential for something magical. Yes.

that this woman.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Were you the most famous person at the watch party?
Speaker 8 (40:19):
I was not.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
No, I wasn't even close to being the most famous.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Okay, can we guess who was the most famous.
Speaker 8 (40:29):
It wasn't like, oh there's I don't.
Speaker 2 (40:33):

My Golden Knights at the Hurricanes Game two coming up tonight.
(01:11):
Last night, the Knicks over the Spurs by ten. There
was a twenty four point turnaround. The Knicks were down
by fourteen and then all of a sudden they end
up winning by ten. The scary part is now the
Spurs won't play this badly, but the Knicks will play
better because Brunson didn't have a great game for the
(01:33):
first three quarters. But you want to talk about a closer,
and there's very few of these players. There's a lot
of guys who were great those first three quarters. Fourth quarter.
Jalen Brunson has been unbelievable and the numbers back this up.
In the fourth quarter this postseason, he's shooting fifty nine
percent from the floor, sixty two percent from three point range,
(01:57):
ninety three percent from the free throw line. He has
every shot he's got, you know, go right, shoot left,
(02:18):
go left, shoot left, pull up, little tear drop. He
can shoot the three. And he didn't have a good
game last night. I mean, that's the scary part. The
Spurs and Victor wemben Yama looked a little spent, and
understandably so. But Wemby is settling for threes that can't happen.
(02:40):
He's got to go inside to then go outside. You
gotta put some people in foul trouble. I don't want
you shooting threes. Now you can shoot threes, I don't
want you taking nine threes. Dearon Fox has to act
like a guy who's getting paid fifty million dollars a year,
because that's an embarrassing notion. I didn't understand. It felt
(03:04):
like Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor
there for a while, and then all of a sudden,
I go, where is Dylan Harper? So there were a
few things that were kind of puzzling last night. But
Darren Fox, now this is a guy who once won
the Clutch Player of the Year award back in twenty
twenty two. Twenty twenty three, Harper scores sixteen, their leading
(03:26):
scorer midway through three quarters. He plays four minutes in
the fourth quarter. I don't know if there was something else,
if there's injury, if there's analytics, but I was puzzled
by that. Carl Anthony Towns, come on down. You played great,
and this is what you wanted from Chad Holmgren. You
(03:49):
wanted aggression, and this is what Karl Anthony Towns did.
He took it to Victor Winbinyama and lived to tell
about it. That was one of the big differences, Josh Hart.
If you look at the stats and you go, man,
not a good shooting night. He did everything else. We
talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Every team
(04:11):
has one of these guys. If you're winning a championship,
you gotta have one of these guys. Could be Caruso
with OKC. I mean, down through history, championship teams have
one of these guys. You had fifteen rebounds, you have
six assists, four steals. He was plus twenty two when
(04:33):
he was on the floor. A glue guys what we
called them, but man, every loose ball. I was surprised
if somebody else got a loose ball when he was
on the floor. He was that impressive. Here is Jalen
Brunson being asked about the comeback, and you.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Guys comebacks in so many games. Resilience has been the
story of your season. Is there a sense of calm
or familiarity when you're in that situation, you know, trailing
in the second half. I don't want to say calm this,
but I think we know what we have to do.
I think we're a pretty together group, be able to
trust each other and still just get to you to
fight out each other's back, and just know that we
(05:11):
gotta keep chipping away, chippy away. It's a credit to
the ben teller we have as a team. But I
mean we catch just be satisfied that we have a
long way to go. We a lot of things we
can do to be better, but have it begin with
a win.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, this isn't a coincidence. This is who they are.
This is their identity. Down twenty two, we'll come back,
down fourteen NBA Finals, We'll come back. And that's one
of those each possession, this is what coaches tell you.
You're not gonna have a ten point play. Each possession,
each possession, chip away, chip away, chip away. And that's
(05:45):
what they did last night. But when you look at
the Spurs, I looked at their turnovers. Half of their turnovers.
We're in the fourth quarter. That's a tired team. And
I give credit to the Knicks. You know, they put
the pressure on them, even Jalen Brunson was playing defense.
Now I don't stats can lie sometimes, but according to
(06:07):
the Mothership, the Spurs were one for fourteen with Jalen
Brunson as the primary defender, including zero for seven in
the second half. When did he become Gary Payton? I mean,
do you want that? Because we've heard all along Kat
and Brunson don't play defense very well. Last night, I
(06:27):
didn't think the Knicks played well. I think they played
well when they needed to, and the Spurs got to
figure out exactly what is their game plan and stick
to it because it felt like, hey, this guy comes in,
because that's what we've done all along, We're going to
take that guy out. It felt analytical. It felt a
little too you know, like think analytic dependent, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
And another thing was I thought somebody like Jose Alvarado
had a really big end of the first half when
Brunston got hurt with that knee injury, when Harrison Barnes
went into his knee and he came in to sub in,
he came up big here, like seven points. And if
you get seven points from Jose Alvarado, yeah, that's huge.
Landry Shammon thirteen points. If you get twenty points out
(07:13):
of those guys, that is huge because you're not expecting
that from night.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, Knicks fans have reminded me. Didn't you say the
Knicks didn't have a great bench yet? You're right, I did,
but they did last night and we talked about this.
There is something about this team and it is a team.
It is a team. When I talk about Spurs, I
usual just talked about Victor Webbenyama with the Knicks. Yes,
(07:37):
it's bruns and heavy, but it is a true team.
Og nanobe like, you're gonna ask these guys to just
give me something, and it might be your defense against Wemby.
It might be, you know, give me five minutes, come
in and spell this guy. Whatever it is, the Knicks
will play better, but the Spurs better. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
The other thing I was wondering you mentioned this before
not playing Dylan Harper much in the fourth quarter. Do
you think that's some type of analytics play where you
stick to the plan that got you where you are now?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
It felt like it, yeah, because could you analytics people
ignore their gut? I would assume, I believe, so. I
don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I think there's just a feeling sometimes you've been at
a game, or maybe you've been in a game where
all of a sudden you just go it's my night,
or it's not my night, it's not our night, and
you might have to disrupt that. But it felt like
Dylan Harper was the best player on the floor for
a little while there and then all of a sudden
(08:48):
he didn't get to play. Yes, uh, yes, touch and analytics.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Often to me speak to normally in this situation or
generally or usually it is no definites even with numbers,
so there is room for or gut instinct though as
far as what you're saying, it's an off night or
I just have a thing, this guy should be playing
more minutes, So this one needs.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
To come out, yes, Dylan, Yeah, and analytics makes more
sense in uh, slower paced sports like football and baseball.
But there's basketball such a momentum thing and it's constant,
so it's like there's a flow, particularly in the playoffs,
where it's like sometimes you just got to use some intuition.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I think, yeah, I agree with that that baseball is
a matchup and it's a pitch and then you you know,
everything slowed down. This is I mean, you want to
use analytics playing blackjack, I'm fine with that, but there's
a flow to the game, there's a there is a
gut feeling, and I think gut feeling should override analytics
(09:42):
at times, and it you know, you're dependent on that
and it's like you got a notebook and it tells
you what to do. But it felt like there was
something that was off. Also, at the very end of
the game, Jalen Brunson goes to Scott Foster and he
said something, but he he's saying something to Scott Foster,
(10:04):
but he's saying it past Scott Foster, like something is
going on here. And I didn't know if he was
complaining about he was getting banged up, because you know,
he got banged up twice last night. But Chris Haynes,
great NBA reporter, is going to join us next hour,
and he talked to Brunson about that moment, So I
(10:24):
don't know what was going on. But he was animated
is too strong of a word, but he was bothered
by something. Now, I don't know, it's not like Scott
Foster goes, you know, hey, why are you yelling at me?
Or don't be talking to me that way. He was
saying something as if was there something in the crowd.
It was just a moment that I thought was out
(10:47):
of character for Jalen Brunson. But we'll find out about
that coming up next hour. Your phone calls are welcome.
You got to pull question for the first hour of
the program, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Yeah, we have a couple Dan for starters. What was
the bigger impact on the game last night, the Knicks
playing well or the Spurs playing objectively not well.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well, I think the Knicks made the Spurs not play well,
So I'm giving the Knicks the credit here. They played.
They played like I expected them to play. I thought
Brunson would be better. He didn't play well early, but
then all of a sudden, it's fourth quarter, game on
the line, ball in his hands. Things happen, Karl Anthony
(11:28):
Towns being aggressive, Josh Hart being aggressive, OG and Nnobi
being aggressive, guys coming off the bench contributing. I mean,
if you can win games and Brunson doesn't play like
we expect him to get thirty five, that's kind of
scary because you've already got the split here in San Antonio.
Now you're five and a half point underdogs coming up
(11:49):
in Game two, which doesn't matter to the Knicks, but
I'm just saying this for the betting crowd. You've already
gotten what you wanted to get here. Now you go
for the jugular. Now you go, Hey, you know what,
let's push them even harder this time around. Uh. If not,
you go back to the garden, and the garden is
(12:10):
going to be waiting. I think that'll be an interesting
element here of the aggression. You know, the spurs. I
don't know where you get your energy from. If you
don't have it in game one, where are you getting
it in game two? Yes? Doing Yeah, And.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
It's like the Knicks are basically playing with house money relative.
You know, you go in to San Antonio as underdogs
when a slug fest in game one, and it's like,
whatever happens next game? If they lose, we're back to
square one.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
What's what are the other pool questions?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Paula sent one over. Okay, if you need a two
to win a playoff game, who are you taking Jalen Brunson,
Shag Gilgess, Alexander Luka, Doncic or other?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Well, it's gonna be recency biased. I would take Brunson
because I've seen it happen late in games, and that's
if you're talking about, Hey, you got a you're taking
a two here. Well, I'm assuming we're not talking about
first three quarters. We're talking about late in the game.
Brunson gets his shot, and he's got every shot. Now,
(13:12):
I know Luca has every shot. Shay gilgis no not
necessarily a great three point shooter. There's a lot of
guys who can get points, get buckets. But I've seen
Brunson do this at a very high level, and I
would I would take him. He has this inate ability.
(13:33):
And I talked to Reggie Miller about this. It's you
gotta know angles and Paulie and I talk about Chris Paul.
Chris Paul wasn't really that athletic. He wasn't big, he
wasn't strong, he wasn't quick, not a jumper. He just
floated and he looked for the angle. He looked for
his spot. And that's what Brunson does. Steve Nash used
(13:55):
to do this. Nash would go underneath the basket, you know,
like Gretzky would get behind the net and then feed
his teammates. Steve Nash would just kind of room and
then they look for their moment. And that's what Brunson does.
It's I need to get to that spot, or if
I don't get there, I can get there. He always
(14:15):
has a plan B and I think that's the beauty
of seeing creative scores. And he is truly a creative
score because he has to be. It's not like he
can go I'm Durant. I'm seven foot and I'm you know,
seven to nine wingspan. See if you can get my shot.
Runson's not a big guy.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yes, Jim Durant though, prime Durant. If you need a
two to win a game? Oh maybe all time?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
He yes, absolutely, Yeah, he's one of the greatest scorers
all time. I mean, you're not picking somebody where I go.
I didn't think of him. Kevin Durant. How many points
has he scored? I don't know, thirty thousand? Couple? All right, Well,
take a break. Phone calls coming up, settle on a
poll question. Got a busy day on this Thursday. We're
(15:06):
back after this.

question not answered last night. You got Keldon Johnson sixth
Man of the Year. You play him eight minutes four
minutes less than Harrison Barnes two minutes less and Luke
Cornett okay, uh? The darn Fox mystery. Dylan Harper sitting out,
(16:08):
not really playing much in the fourth quarter four minutes.
So some puzzling movements there last night as it kind
of melted down for the Spurs. There's a fan that
ran on to the court taking a selfie with Victor Wendanyama.
I'm surprised we don't have more of that in the
NBA because of the proximity of the seats. You know,
(16:33):
where a football stadium, baseball stadium. You know you have
to jump over, jump down, run too basketball. You're kind
of right there. No nobody in the front row is
going to do it because they don't want to give
up those expensive seats first five rows. You're not going
to be doing that. But somebody ran on the floor
taking a selfie with Victor wen Danyama ushrim off police, Like, oh,
(16:57):
there should be a moment where these security guys get
to rough him up and I go, no, no, no, I.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Would not be polite with him as he's escorted off
the floor. They should make sure that he was really
close to Wemby, like arm's length and security. I know
doesn't expect it, but don't. I don't think he deserves politeness.
Anyone deserves politeness when they run.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
On the floor. Well, you won't get politeness when we
get you out of the specter of eighteen thousand fans. Now,
you just don't let him back in. He doesn't get
to go back to a game. That's it.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
Yeah, Dylan, I feel like it feels different if it's
like a girl runs onto the court, it feels like
less of like a potentially threatening thing than a guy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, no, no, you can't think that way. No, I
mean MORGANA the Kissing Bandit used to do this all
the time. But MORGANA was a very endowed stripper. I
think we're retired stripper. There you go and she I
mean it would take her a while to get to,
(18:03):
you know, Nolan Ryan on the mound. I g'd be like,
and here she comes Morgan of the Okay, I got that.
But then when guys run on the football field, I
have no problem with you tackling them. I mean, in
that environment, you can tackle them. And now I hope
football players don't do that, but if they happen to,
(18:23):
it's okay. Run on the field. Hey, look at me.
Baseball guys running in the outfield running away from security guys, yes,
time and.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Security I would think are trained.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
They have to assume the worst.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
This person isn't necessarily going to just look for a
photo or shake someone's hand and hug them.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
You know, I don't know what they got carrying in
their in their pocket.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
By the way, that's quite an outfit you got on today.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Thanks.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
I'm on the Mix of City Dance team.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
With my wristbands.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You look like if there's an AARP version of the
Knicks dance team. Well, no, just your age, but you
have your Knicks shirt on.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I got Nicks pants and I got Royal blue wristbands
and it's kind of goofy, but I thought I dress
you know, I like to play dress up at the
news of the day, you know, warrants.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I don't know if it's called playing dress up.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I called play dress up.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Well, for a fifty six year old man to put
on something that like maybe you know, a seven year
old would wear, that's gonna questionable.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, well, you are a diehard Knicks fan.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
I'm all about the Knicks.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, yes, Paul, Okay, let's be the jury for this
young man who ran on the court. I looked it
up and I don't think he's been given a punishment yet.
But here are some of the recent punishments for people
have run on the court in the NBA. The home
team can ban him for life or for the rest
of the season. There could be criminal charges for trespass
or disorderly conduct, or a league wide ban. The entire
(19:47):
NBA can bar the individual. What would you guys do?
Just not let him come back in the arena.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
That's it. I mean, do I give him a lifetime ban.
I'd have to know more about him. It's not a
big deal to me. Like he came on the floor, Okay,
something stupid happens, nobody got hurt. Take him off the floor.
You don't let him back for a year? Great? Move on? Yes? Yes,
uh Marvin, I'm going.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
With a lifetime band.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I grew up with the motto, you play stupid games,
you win stupid prizes.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I got I don't.
I mean, I saw it. It's unfortunate it happens. Get
him off the floor, move on, Yes, Dylan, What.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
Do you think would be the most fun one to do?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Like?
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Which one to run on? I play baseball, right, you
get to run, maybe get the second base, round one
of the bases and before you get tackled. I know,
so running on taking a selfie? I once he had
to do one. No, I wouldn't do any of them.
Never even thought about it. Like, man, I could run
right there.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I could jump over and run onto the field and
then do what.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Well, there was that guy who at the super Bowl
he met on there to be a streaker at the
super Bowl and then he's sat the game. That's pretty brilliant.
I'm sure they probably took They probably canceled the bet
after they found out that he fixed it.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
But yes, Marvin, I know who should have gotten fired
the security at the Atlanta Braves when Hank Aaron hit
seven fifteen and those two guys came on. Hank Aaron
was getting death threats here, I know, and you let
these two guys on, like who's watching?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And apparently they had snipers up on the roof of
Fulton County Stadium because they were worried about something happening
with Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's record. Okay, there's more
at stake there. He got death threats, hate mail, so
the Braves were well aware this was a black player
breaking a white player's all time record. So there's two
(21:44):
guys that meet him at shortstop unfortunately and ruin the
moment for one of my heroes. And at home plate,
Craig Sager is the guy in the white trench code
holding a radio microphone. They should have kicked Sager out
of there too. He's there at home plate with Hank
(22:05):
Aaron crossing home plate. Craig Sager's there with a trench
coat and he's holding a little microphone. I don't even
know if Seger was on radio any place. I don't
think Seger ever got in trouble with that. But these
two knuckleheads who are rounding the bases with Hank Aaron
when he got to short stop, and you can see
(22:26):
Hank trying to knock them off like they're patting him
on the back. He doesn't know. I mean, they showed
some of the letters that he got during that home
run chase. Embarrassing, sad and here he is breaking that
record and two guys run on the field. What do
(22:48):
you think Hank is thinking? And that was a sad,
sad moment that they took away one of the great
moments of his life.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Yeah, pol, going back to last night, I just watched
the play again with the fan ran out of the court.
The ball was in play, it wasn't between shots or
something like that. So the Knicks actually got penalized a
bit on the play because Dylan Harper threw the ball.
The Knicks were about to complete a steal, but the
ball was not in anyone's hands, so the refs had
to talk and do a jump ball that the Spurs
(23:18):
got back. So the Knicks actually lost a possession on
that play.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Age seven seven to three DP show email address DP
at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled a DP show
Did we settle on a pull question? Dylany?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Yeah, we got those two up right now. Do you
want some early results?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Sure, why not?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Bigger impact on the game last night? Fifty three percent
say the Spurs playing poorly over the Knicks playing well?
All right, and then if you need to to win
a playoff game, who are you taking Jalen Brunson, Sga,
Luka Donci or other little recency bias. Jalen Brunson's got
thirty seven percent.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Now, if you said you got first pick and you
take Jalen Brunson and I get Sga, I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with that because Sga is more unstoppable but
runs in big game fourth quarter. It's not a coincidence.
He finds a way to find a bucket. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
What about this? What if you need a guy to
flop at the end of the game to go to
the line. Who you're taking Brunson or Sga?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Uh? Sga?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, it's kind of writing the book on that, like
an instructional video. And Sga teaching you how to flop.
Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Chris and Syrahcuse starts us off this morning. Good morning, Chris, Hey.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
Thank you. Danny had a few comments on last night's game,
And if you watch that clip of Hank Aaron, he
looked very nervous when that happened, and in fands, we're
very vocal. Last night at times they took over the crowd.
And yeah, when that nut job came on the floor
for the selfie with Wemby, Wemby's so tall, he only
got as high as Wemby's jersey, and it was too
(25:03):
bad because Wemby had a little smirk on his face
like he was kind of entertained by it. Yeah, Wemby
really takes everything and strive. And last night the Spurs
looked a little overwhelmed by the moment and in contrast,
the next looked like the veteran team in comparison, which
they are. And I agree with you, Dan totally. Kat
to me was the key factor in that game. He
(25:26):
kept the Knicks in it defensively and offensively till brunts
and heated up and Yeah, to me, Karl Anthony Towns
was the MVP last night.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, he was aggressive. That's what I wanted. Take it
to Wemby and just continued to do that. You know,
and sometimes it can be really simplistic, like it's not intricate.
It's not like the triangle offense. It's just we need
you to do this tonight, or this guy isn't scoring,
we need you to help score. But I thought San
(25:55):
Antonio looked tired, and certainly in the fourth quarter, your
shot us are short and there's turnovers. That's a tired team.
Lucas Texas, Hi, Luke, Hey, then good morning, good morning.
You know, a couple of quick comments about the game.
You kind of mentioned already this was a roster win.
(26:17):
It felt like if you felt like the Knicks roster
overall played better. I think there were two key.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
Moments and you kind of alluded to it. It was
in the third quarter. I think the Spurs were up
by something like thirteen. Wimby came out for a couple
of minutes and that's where Kat really got aggressive. I
think they got a quick eight points. It's just remarkable
how instantaneously their offensive mindset switched and they were much
more aggressive in the paint with Wimby out. That was
(26:43):
really great to see. The second thing was gruntson towards
the end. Obviously he's just a master of the backboard,
of just the angles that you were saying. But I
think the big reason why he's so much more likable
than SGA style of plays, even though he was also
trying to get to the line trying to get some fouls,
it felt like he never lost the chance to try
to actually make the basket, Like making the basket was
(27:05):
more important than the potential of two free throws. He
was always about two and one, and so I think
that's why it's just a lot more endearing. It just
felt a lot more competitive from him than a lot
of SGA stuff over the last couple.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Of weeks, Thank you, Lucas. Victor had twenty six twelve
three blocks, but he had six turnovers. I mean, these
are nice numbers, but this is where you watch a
game and you get a different feel than just seeing
highlights and looking at the box score, because if you
watch the game, you're like, damn, Josh hart is everywhere
(27:37):
you look at the box score. He didn't shoot well,
but he did everything else. And if he can give
you a surprising number in any of those categories, it's
such a value. Like what do you need for me
to do? We need you to rebound, all right, we
need you to distribute. Okay, because this is when the
(27:59):
chess match really starts. This next game, this is when
it starts because New York is going to expect something.
The question is what is Mike Brown expecting and what
is san Antonio going to give them? What is going
to be different? I would say to Wemby, no threes.
No threes to start the first first half. No threes inside.
(28:22):
Now if he hits him, I might be saying something different,
but we've said before. I want him inside to then
come outside. I want you to establish yourself, get some
fouls called, and then then if you go out on
the perimeter, you want to take some threes. Great. It
felt like he was settling, like he was running kind
(28:44):
of from three point line to three point line, and
I don't want him out guarding somebody outside the three
point line. You've got the reach there, come back. I
want you. He was expending too much energy on things
that he didn't need to. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I thought the big thing was he's got to defend Cat.
So he had his arms up and Cat pump fakes
and kept driving to the basket. And he's making him
work on the defensive end. And even those guys were
getting good looks at the basket because Wenby had to
stay out there with Cat, because Cat with a Triller
three pointer is money out there, game changer.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah. I want you tired. I want them running Wemby
Rick in Vegas, Hi, Rick, what do you have for
me today?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Dan, thanks for calling me.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
I got a conspiracy theory for you. So you notice
how I call it the Fritzy curse because you notice
how like McLevin was in the back row, then Seating
and now Dylan. Well, mclovin and Seatan are both gone.
How long before Delan's gone? And just for for Fritzie's
purpose A little rhyme, right, because it's mclob ben, cheat
(29:51):
Pin and Delan. All I can say is Marvin staying
in the front row.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Brother, Wow? Wow, very interesting.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Yeah, different kind of numerology there.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, kiss of death back here, I know, deep dive
on the back road. Let's see Seth in West Virginia, Hi, Seth,
Hey Dan, thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 12 (30:14):
So yesterday, as you and Todd celebrated your anniversary, my wife,
Courtney and I celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary. It's
been of a tradition over the last couple of years
that Fritzy Sarah neades us with a little Bruce Springsteen.
So if he can give us a little squawk off,
it would be much appreciated. Thanks, guys, keep up all
(30:35):
the good work.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
All right, well, thank you, Seth, Todd, you got it
in you to.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
Have to sit put out a kiss of bed heaving by.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Well the split up against its tuve gone by.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Now all right, heppy anniversary, Oh yeah, all right, all right,
come on now.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
Okay real oh now.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yes, Marvin, sorry, going back to the game real fast.
When Web put it on the floor, those guys were
in the cookie. Their hands were all in the cookie
jars Alvarado, Heart Annobe Michel Bridges. So they won't lett
him get a clean drive to the basket because he
kept putting it on the floor.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Yes, when it's on the floor, it's fair game.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Whenever a big man puts the ball on the floor,
go get it. Yes, still and back.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
To Todd for a second. That was my first live
Bruce Springsteen. I think getting to like watch it in person.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yes, it's yeah, how did it feel? He gets very pink.
There's definitely some veins popping. Yeah, well he's got the
guns popping today with that T shirt.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
Man, no little stuck in the waist, in the hips
in a lot of places.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, well, it's very form fitting.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
You gotta find the shirt where it's tight on the
arms and chest and then a lot more forgiving as
you go down.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I think you need blousey. I think that's the word
you're looking.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
For, and there's a company that does that. It's like
the sleeves are and then it's like it hides your
gut in the middle. I forget the name of it,
but I think they made a killing Oh okay, true classic.
Oh maybe that's it. Yeah, I don't know. I saw
them as like, that's brilliant. It's like spanks for dudes.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Like the untuck it because it's a brutal If I
try to tuck in a shirt, that's just not a
good Stine.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Well, it's good that you don't have to tuck in
a shirt anymore. Like it's okay, Like there was that
point where you go, man, so I can untuck my
shirt and it's okay. I don't know when that started,
but it has to be a decade right where you go, Yeah,
it's okay, you can walk with your shirt tail out. Yes, put.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I hesitate to bring this up, but what do you
guys think about white sneakers with suits on TV?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Hate it?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
It kills the suit. You could have a thousand dollars
suit on it and if you're wearing white sneakers.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, but you can find thousand dollars white sneakers too. Yeah.
It's like it's not for me. If I'm getting if
I'm putting a suit on, then I'm gonna put dress
shoes on.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
It's bad tires on a Porsche. That's what it is
to me.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But I get at my daughter's wedding, I'm not gonna
wear a tuxedo in there. Then wear sneakers.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
No sneakers and tuxedo would be a wild combo.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
But I've been to weddings where you get guys who
wear the low top Chuck Taylor black Converse with their tuxedos.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
This was in Brooklyn, right, No, the hipsters. Yeah, yes, marvn.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I went to a wedding where the groom and all
the grooms men wore air Jordan elevens with their tuxis.
And the thing was the wife already knew. She was like,
she has to know.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, you can't surprise her. Yeah you want. No,
there's going to be surprises at your wedding on or
your reception. There will be. You just want to make
sure you clue your wife in on what doesn't have
to be a surprise. Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Can't imagine that pitch being like, all right, sweetheart, So
the entire groomsmen are gonna look like the cast of
Space Jam for the wedding, all wearing Jordan elevens. I
don't know that. I feel like the wife to be
would care about that.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Well, she might not, but you have to run a buyer.
You can't go. I got a surprise for you. I
had a friend that they wrote h ELP on the
bottom of his shoes, so when he's kneeling at the altar,
everybody started laughing because they put help on the bottom
(34:32):
of his shoes. Yes, Martin, that was the.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Only request that he had. And the thing was the
wife like I know both of him. She was like, well,
I know who I'm married. Yeah, right, Like, if you
know him, you know he's gonna wear these like it
is fine. And if you look at those shoes, they
look clean, the patent leather. Those are the sneakers that
you would wear.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I'm alright with that.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Were they the conquered elevens.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
But you know, here's another thing. They don't do the
cut the cake anymore at all. I've been to like
three weddings recently and the bride and groom didn't cut
the cake. They brought pieces of the cake out, but
they didn't do the ceremony. I don't I don't know
if they want to speed up, you know, the reception
(35:16):
here we uh, due to time constraints, there will not
be any cutting of the cake.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Yes, Mark, have you ever have you ever been to

for me? Good morning, Dan? What's up? Dan?
Speaker 13 (38:11):
As then, the intensity of both hockey and NBA has
been just phenomenal. I don't think we could have asked
for a better final for both for both series going on.
But I will say last night watching the San Antonio game,
I felt like the New York crowd was dominated. It's
almost like they had a play full of mixed fans
(38:32):
that went down there specifically to hold it down. And
it got to the point where I was thinking San
Antonio fans just passive. I might be upsending a whole
fan base, but in my opinion, you cannot let another
fan bases go in there and run it. And I
felt like they suck the air out of that arena.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Well, they were loud, there were more Spurs fans, the
Knicks fans were vocal. It's I can't overstate how important
this is to the city of New York work. This
fan base. This is crazy generational. They've had nothing at all.
(39:09):
If you're under thirty, you've had nothing. Even older than that,
I mean, you've had appearances in the NBA Finals, they
didn't go well. You got to go back to nineteen
seventy nineteen seventy three. It almost skipped another generation. And
now you have a younger generation and they will not
be denied. They will do They're gonna do whatever it
(39:32):
takes to be those fans on the road at home
to make sure that they win a title. Yes doing.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
I saw this from yesterday from boardroom. The cost to
attend Game three of the NBA Finals at the Gardens
in the four thousand dollars range. The cost the combined
cost to attend all the remaining home games for the Yankees, Mets,
New York Giants, and New York Jets this year is
about four thousand dollars. Get in price and.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
You got something magical here, the potential for something magical. Yes.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I went to a watch party last night in New
York City and the girl in the booth next to me,

Speaker 2 (40:25):
