Speaker 3 (01:03):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app,
and our radio affiliates around the country, you can dial
us up. Operator Tyler is sitting by eight seven to
seven to three DP Show tonight Calves Celtics Game five.
Don't know the availability of Donovan Mitchell probably won't matter
the MAVs at the Thunder And for entertainment purposes, I'll

(01:26):
give you the betting lines. The Calves are getting fourteen
and a half. The MAVs are getting four. Against Oklahoma
City last night, surprise surprise, not that the Knicks won,
but the way they won. They blew out the Pacers
one twenty one ninety one, so they're up three games
to two. Forty four for Jalen Brunson, and the Nuggets

(01:47):
handled the Timberwolves. Joker goes for forty, but not just forty.
He didn't have a turnover. He had forty points, he
had tennissist thirteen assists, I should say no turnover. So
in the last forty years, Joker is the second player
to have a forty ten zero turnover playoff game. Chris

(02:09):
Paul the only other player in the last thirty years
to do so.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Who how stead of a day stant of a day,
stat of a day, scant of a day, this is
the stut of the.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Day, scat of the day, brought to you by Putani America.
By the way, the Pacers, congratulations the third team in
NBA history to win a playoff game by thirty and
then lose their next game by at least thirty. Wait,
you're in good company. You joined the twenty sixteen Golden
State Warriors and also the two thousand and eight Cleveland Cavaliers.

(02:50):
And I'm watching the Knicks game and I'm thinking they're
probably just hoping for momentum. And are you able to
put the previous game behind you where you got blown out?
You basically arresting your starters for the second half of
the game. Get ready for Game five at the Garden
and give Jalen Brunson credit. I don't know how healthy
he is. The bench is depleted, but he went out there. Now,

(03:14):
I was disappointed in the effort by the Pacers. You
just won, you just dominated. Now you have a chance
to prove you're a really good team. You're ready for
this moment, and they didn't prove that. You keep waiting.
You have no excuses. You're healthy. The knickser banged up,

(03:36):
they were just blown out. Yes, you're going into the
Garden and the Garden was alive and kicking again. Here
is Jalen Brunson after that performance last night.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
One thing that I've learned in the playoffs is that
one game does not have any effect on the next,
no matter what the situation is, whether you lose, I won,
I lose by thirty and so has nothing to do
with next game. So honestly, once we leave here tonight
and this is over with, it's all about how do
we prepare for game game six?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
He's right, it's hard to do that. It's like the
mind of a closer. You know, you can go in
big moment, give up a big hit, lose the game.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
You have to forget about it. Now.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's easier said than done. And players will say, no,
we'll just forget about that. Well, they're still lingering memories
there have to be. And I give the Nix a
lot of credit. Played well. They had energy there, certainly
the Garden giving them energy. And now what's going to happen.
Are the Pacers going to prove that hey, we belong,

(04:42):
we should be going to the Eastern Conference Finals because
last night they didn't show me anything. Isaiah Hartenstein, who's
going to be a free agent, he had twelve offensive rebounds.
That's one of the best performances in NBA playoff history.
Moses Malone I think had fifteen or sixteen in one game,
and Shack had I think around fourteen or fifteen offensive rebounds.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
And when you have these guys who know their roles,
like they know this is what I do.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I don't need to have an X number of touches
or shots, set a pick, go to the boards, play defense.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Josh Hart, what do you want me to do? I'll
do it. Dante de Vangenzo, what do you want me
to do? I'll do it. What a luxury.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And when they do it, they can do it at
a high level because if I can let Brunson be Brunson,
now I just have to basically shut down everybody else.
And they didn't do that last night. Brunson had his way,
and your role players, you know, contributed when they needed to.
But the energy was there and it wasn't there for
the Pacers. Very very surprised, disappointed with what the Pacers did.

(05:51):
Then you have the joker. I don't know if the
NBA has a perfect game. If you if you have
a certain performance where you go, that's a perfect game.
I mean, joke came pretty close. I don't think there's
ever been a player in playoff history, who accounted for
seventy points his team seventy of his team's points with

(06:14):
points and assists, but Joker and no turnovers. That's and
even afterwards. I loved Anthony Edwards. I love his press
conferences because it just feels like, you know, he's young
and he's going to give you an honest answer. And
he talked about the greatness of Joker after the game.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
I just laugh. That's all I can do. I mean,
I can't.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
I can't be mad because he just he good man man.
I think I said that after game won, when we
won in game two, like he'd MVP. He's best player
in the NBA, and.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
He showed it the last three games, three games in
a row. And yeah, tonight he was special tonight. I
got to give him his flowers.

Speaker 8 (06:52):
It was.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know what we
were supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah he was.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
He was that guy tonight.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
And I know that people are going to sing Rudy
Gobert Defensive Player of the Year and he's won the
award four times. Well, you can be a great defensive
player as a help defender. Ben Wallace was not a
great on ball defender. But he was a great help
defender and he won Defensive Player of the Year I
think three times. You know, this is Rudy Gobert. When

(07:20):
he's matched up head to head with Joker, he doesn't
do well. He's a great help defender. He's the last
line of defense. And I know people are going to
carve him up today. Well, Joker carved him up last night.
But Draymond Green saying, you know it's barbecue time. Yes,
he is doing that to anybody who guards him. Joker
took Rudy Gobert outside behind the shed. But I'm not

(07:45):
going to say, well, he didn't deserve the defensive Now,
first of all, I wouldn't have given it to him.
I would have given it to when Bayama. But Rudy
Gobert is a really good help defender. Not many guys
are great on ball defenders, just because you know, the
skill level is extreme dingly high on these players. And
to be able to guard somebody shut him down, that's

(08:05):
really really rare. And for those hoping he's going to
be able to do that, keep hoping he will not.
You don't stop. You only try to contain the Joker.
And you saw that last night. But to watch him
like he got a rebound, barely had it in his
hand and he threw a touchdown pass like it was
just like wow, got it, tapped it, tapped it, and

(08:26):
then threw it down the other end of the floor.
With Jamal Murray, he plays at a different level. He's
playing a different game. And there are players who do
this Checkers chess. He plays chess. You play checkers and
you even know what's going to happen. It's not like
you go, goh lea blew right by. It's right in
front of you and here it is. He's not gonna dunk.

(08:50):
He had twenty five.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Dunks this year.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
In fact, he was asked about the lack of dunks
in his game Game three.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
You had the dunk over Anthony Edwards tonight you drove.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Is that a product of all at all of Minnesota's importation?

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Do you feel like you need to finish with more
authority when you have the chance?

Speaker 9 (09:08):
I mean, I had to open land and just you know,
I'm a freak of nature and who why not to
show my athleticism.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's funny, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I mean, you lose your first two games at home,
We're ready to christ and Anthony Edwards the next Michael Jordan.
I said when the series started, I thought Minnesota could
win this series.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
And it's not over yet.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
If we're going to say Anthony Edwards reminds us of
Michael Jordan, now's not the time to doubt him, because
you never doubted Michael Jordan. So I'm not going to
doubt him, But I'm going to doubt some of his teammates,
Karl Anthony Towns, who once scored sixty points in a game.
You got to step up. And that's the problem. Minnesota

(09:57):
can play defense, they don't have enough offense, and when
they look at this roster in the offseason, they will
have to address that. But you're watching Joker play at
a very very high level. Got his MVP last night.
That probably pumped him up a little. I don't even
know if anything motivates him. Here's Mike Malone, the head coach.
Michael Malone on motivating Joker.

Speaker 10 (10:20):
Yeah, he doesn't need to be nudge man. That's Nikolajoki.
She's one to nine, three time MVP. I don't have
to nudge him. He reads a game and I trusted
him one thousand percent yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
That's a great luxury. If you're a head coach, you
can just say run the offense through Joker will be fun.
Caitlin Clark made her debut. It was in front of
a pack talents in Connecticut. She did not play well,
certainly in the first half, foul, trouble, ten turnovers. She
did get twenty points, but they got blown out ninety
two to seventy one. And look, this isn't a referendum

(10:55):
on what it's going to be like, but she's going
to have nights like this. And that's why I go
back to what Diana Tarassi said and forewarned, hey, get ready.
I mean these are grown women, and I know most
people were like, well yeah, but she shoots so far
out and she you know, no, they will have somebody

(11:16):
who is a defensive stopper. They will have somebody that's
their job. They're guarding Caitlin Clark the entire night. And
you saw that last night. But it wasn't the debut
that I think many people thought was going to happen,
and she was frustrated afterwards.

Speaker 11 (11:33):
I think just a lot of things will learn from it.
I didn't think we played well and we had cut
into six in the third quarter, So I think that's
a positive. You look at like, we really did not
play a good game, but we were right there at moments,
and then it kind of got away from us at
the end of the third and fourth quarter. Didn't have
the greatest start, So I think, just a lot to
learn from. You know, it's the first one. There's some
begod ons, there's any bad ones. And you know, like

(11:55):
we said, the Long Room, like we play on Thursday,
you got to learn from it and move.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
On and be ready to go.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yes, and she's gonna have nights where she gets points.
She's gonna have rough nights like she did tonight last night.
But keep in mind there was no rest after the season,
only a few weeks. What are we five weeks after
the end of the college basketball season and here she is.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Obviously it's a debut.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
It's a big night, Mothership roll out the coverage there
and she did not look good. Also, the two fouls early.
The fans weren't thrilled with that. There were a lot
of fans who came to see Caitlin Clark, including Paulie
and his daughters. You know, you go into the casino,
you know, everything funnels through the casino.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's like when you go to Disney.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And you get off the ride and you got to
go through the gift shop and then you come out.
That's that's what when you go into a casino, certain casinos,
it's like, no matter how old you are, so imagine
you're dragging, you know, your eight year old through a casino.
You got these hardened guys, you know, smoking heaters and
drinking some scotch while they're playing you know whatever. And

(12:59):
then way, what are they doing? They're gambling there? Are
you allowed to smoking?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Signed?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yes you can. Then all of a sudden you get through.
It's like the casino gives birth to you. Like like
it there you go, Now, go out, go out to
the arena, and then you're done with the game.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
You gotta come back through the casino. Yeah, Paul, hundreds.

Speaker 12 (13:20):
And hundreds of squeaky clean nine year olds with their
moms and dads. Then you go to the casino and
there's like Marlboro red smoke in the air and people
who are walking funny and they're having.

Speaker 13 (13:30):
A rough day.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah at the tables hip juxtaposition, Yeah, sitting there with
the one arm bandits Yeah, a couple of cold ones. Yes,
Marvin smoking cigarets. What an oxygen tank is wild?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
It's double dipping. Yeah yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Know Tuesday night, Tuesday, late afternoon and you're there. It
can be kind of depressing, kind of like I get
Friday and Saturday night and everybody's having a great time
and all dressed up. But you know, a Tuesday at
four and you're there by yourself, gambling blackjack.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Hit me. Yes, it seems like a pretty good time.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's that's something Shane Irving and Dylan did in Vegas.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
It's like a pretty good Tuesday. Actually, the kid's doing here.

three DP show operator Tyler is sitting by ready for

for the first hour with my pole question.

Speaker 13 (16:32):
Okay, first one. Who's in more trouble right now? Pacers
Timberwolves both down three to two after we just saw
over the last day or two.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
All right, all right, that's a classic sports radio pole
rist kind of boring on my birthday.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Sports radio car.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, I'm gonna say Minnesota. I'm gonna say Minnesota. They
don't have an answer for Joker. They had their change.
You know what, We're gonna look back on one moment
in this series. If Denver wins the title, there'll be
one moment that will stand out with this Minnesota Denver series. Marvin,

(17:11):
would you like to guess?

Speaker 6 (17:13):
I think it's when Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony town.

Speaker 13 (17:16):
No Todd when Jamal Murray threw the heating.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Pad when he did not get suspended, Oka, he did
not get suspended. We might look back on that if
let's say Denver, you know, goes back to back. Now
we've already had Yukon Men back to back, Kans City
Chiefs back to back, Las Vegas Aces back to back.

(17:41):
Could we have another back to back with the Denver Nuggets.
So if Jamal Murray was suspended, he would have missed
Game three, and I think the series changed. He didn't
get suspended, Now I thought he should have. He didn't
get suspended. And by the way, Rudy Gobert with the
money sign, I mean, come on, cost you seventy five thousand.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Now I know that.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
His head coach Chris Finch said, wait, he did the
money sign and he got fined more than Jamal Murray
did for throwing a heating pack on the floor.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
And he's right about that.

Speaker 12 (18:15):
Yeah, PAULI, the NBA doesn't have a billion dollar heating
pad sponsor and partner that they're working with. H they
have billion dollar betting partners, all right.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Any other poll questions there, would.

Speaker 13 (18:26):
You want a surprise birthday party?

Speaker 8 (18:28):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (18:28):
That would be a hoot. No, thanks, let's keep it
low key.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
No, I don't want a surprise party.

Speaker 8 (18:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
It's happened before, and it was one where my wife
had planned it, and I remember I was hanging around
the house and she said, hey, you got to go
pick up your daughter. She's at this place. And I go, really,
you know I have to go and watching something. She goes, no, no,

(18:55):
you have to go. You know the person that parents
want to meet you or the dad wants to Now
she keeps talking and then it's like, damn, she really
wants me to go pick up my daughter and meet
the dad who's she's at their house. So I get there,
I leave the car running, leave the car running, and

(19:19):
I go in and next thing I know, surprise. Three
hours later I went out and realized the car had
still been running, and I said to my wife, I said, Han,
don't no more surprises.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
I just don't. My heart can't take it. No more surprises.

Speaker 12 (19:38):
Yes, pay didn't you have a birthday party at a
country club maybe five years ago that we all attended.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (19:43):
Was that not a surprise?

Speaker 3 (19:45):
That was a surprise one too.

Speaker 12 (19:46):
Okay, you didn't see what was going on in the
room just before you got there. I don't know who
was in charge. It was some tall guy with a
friend of your family. Yeah, he's telling everyone shut up,
shut up because they spotted you in the parking lot.
People started crouching down behind like the table, and they're like, well,
it's not we're not trying to like attack him like
Lord of the Flies, a surprise attack up when everyone

(20:08):
screams shut up.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not a big surprise party guy.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
I don't know who is though what time.

Speaker 13 (20:18):
I kind of like a surprise birthday party.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's fun, people went, have you ever had one?

Speaker 16 (20:22):
I did for my think of my fortieth birthday. My
wife put something together and uh, it was very nice.
It wasn't a whole big to do, but.

Speaker 13 (20:29):
I appreciate the time I know you then.

Speaker 16 (20:32):
I think you did, but I think it was like
more of like just a family. Oh, although you are
kind of part of it. I know you over twenty years. Yeah,
it was like at some restaurants. I don't know much
about it, but I got a big John Elway sign
framed thing that some people chipped in for and it
was a it was pretty cool.

Speaker 13 (20:48):
I thought it was nice that they thought to do that.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
My wife thought to just imagine what I would have
gotten you if I had been invited.

Speaker 13 (20:55):
Could have been something really.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Sor yeah, something really special.

Speaker 13 (20:58):
Had von Miller show up and like on a parade flow?

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah good? Yeah, you could have any other pol questions.

Speaker 16 (21:04):
The other one I had to put down is how
excited are you about the NFL schedule release tonight?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Extremely, somewhat whatever, dude.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Okay, I feel bad for those hosting shows tonight because
the NFL should have buttoned this up so it really
was a watch party. This is for the hardcore fan.
This is for the fan who travels and says, oh,
are the Dolphins going to be on the Northeast, you
know around Christmas? Or maybe my team is going to

(21:33):
be playing the Chargers of the Rams, or maybe my
team is playing Tampa and I could go there for
the holidays. That's really what it is.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Now.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
You do want to see when you place it, you
know who you're playing. You just want to see how
many road games do we have, how do we end
the season? Who are we playing in the last two
or three games of the regular season, So they there's
still some drama to it, but everybody's been leaking out
works were allowed to leak out one game or two games.

(22:03):
Sheefty's leaked out a couple of them. And if I'm
hosting a show, I'm like, come on, man, it's a
watch party. So I get it. I don't get excited
about it, but I do get it that people want
to watch and they want to listen to the analysts
talk about your team strength to schedule. I think the
Browns have the toughest schedule this year, the AFC North does.

(22:27):
At least Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland might have the three
toughest schedules. Strength to schedule now, it always changes because
you'll have teams that don't live up to what they
were the previous year, and then you'll have some teams
that are a lot better than we thought. But the
Bengals have a last place schedule, so they're going to

(22:48):
be in a better position with the other teams.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
And the Bengals had nine wins.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Last year and a healthy ish Joe Burrow back, and
hopefully they get their content situations. Uh Trey Hendrickson, I
think they just signed him, and uh t Higgins is
I don't know what's gonna happen with t Higgins unless
I miss something. It felt like he was gonna be traded.

(23:13):
Wanted to be traded, So all right eight seven seven
three DP show email under SDP at Danpatrick dot com
Twitter handle at dp show. By the way, PAULI went
to the game last night with Caitlyn Clark. And when
you have the PA announcer in a lot of arenas,
you'll get the guy.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
He's the hype guy. He's excited, you.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Know, welcome to them, Ohiggins Son arena, and then all
of a sudden, your Connecticut son. And then they start
with the Indiana fever. So to be at guard five
to eleven out of wherever, Sally Smith at guard six
foot out of Iowa, Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
And now that's when you played the music, Martin, no no, no,
I want the music.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
I'm like, yeah, get on your feet connecticuant sun fan.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yo Connecticut song. I had a DJ there last night.

Speaker 2 (24:21):

Keith in California, Hi, Keith, what's on your mind?

Speaker 8 (28:11):
Five ten and a soft three hundred soft? So happy birthday, Dan,
A proud member of the dead Dad club here, just
like yourself. But is it really a happy birthday because
you're one year closer to answering that club. I'm just saying,
quick question. Where did you get the golden pipes from

(28:34):
from your dead dad? Just wondering?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Uh No, I got him from my grandmother.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
She had a deep voice, and my one of my
older brothers has a voice very similar to mine. Yeah,
very lucky. I didn't do anything, didn't develop it. It
was just it was there one day, I think puberty,
and then all of a sudden, It's like I was
talking like this, and then all of a sudden, I'm
talking like this.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
But uh, yeah, I'm very lucky.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Uh Joe and Orlando, Hi Joe, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 19 (29:06):
Happy birthday to the Goat of course, Dan, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
Jo.

Speaker 19 (29:10):
Lastly, I just got a question, what is it going
to take for jokiic to be in that most dominant category?
I know Shag was there for a while, and I
think that may be why he has been a little
irritable lately. But that dude, Joker is just different. Man,
He's different. What is it going to take him to
be the most dominant? Because he dominates that.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Every Yeah, but he's not going to get credit Joe,
And look, it's a great question, but he's not because
it's the style in which he dominates. There's certain guys
who have style points. We look at them and you go, God,
that guy's unbelievable. Joker is not unbelievable. He doesn't make
the highlights, or at least he didn't used to. Now
you have to put him in Now Last Night, of

(29:52):
course you will. But normally it's a nice, crisp pass,
or maybe it's a tough, you know, three point shot,
you know, high arching shot. Shaq gave you style points
like you were like, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
You see Shack.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
You know Kobe, Mike, you know, Bird had style points.
But Joker, joker, he doesn't care. It gets just like,
all right, I must score. He would he would much
rather pass. How many all time greats would rather pass
than score, and especially a big guy magic bird, they

(30:30):
would much rather pass than shoot. Maybe Lebron most of
his career, Yeston.

Speaker 14 (30:36):
Yeah, but how many all time greats are allowed to
get away with passing and not shooting? All time grates
is usually like your balls in this end. If they
pass it off, they're scared to take the last shot.
That means you're not great. You're scared to take the
last shot, then you can't be great. But we've spent
years on topics like that. But this dude, it's like, ah, man,
how great is he? He doesn't even want to shoot, He
wants to pass it. Well, he did win a title.

(30:59):
That helms if he didn't then we now we just
did that with Lebron. I don't think he wasn't saying
the name. No, I don't think we've done that to
anybody else. It was just like a Lebron. I'm just
saying Lebron didn't want to take that shot. We didn't
say that.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Michael Jordan didn't hit big shots in the in the finals,
Steve Kerr and John Paxson did. Nobody said, oh, Mike
didn't want to take the shot. It was oh, he
made a smart move. He found the open guy. Now,
if Lebron had done that, Skip Bayless spends his whole
morning talking about that. But that's the only guy. It's

(31:34):
just and you know, I think joker people are like,
when when does this end? Like okay, all right, we
get it. You were really really good. When's when's the
next way? Where's Anthony Edwards or some of these younger guys.
He just he's not going to slow down because he's
already slow, and he's not going to come back to
earth because he's not gonna be able to jump high

(31:55):
because he can't jump high. It's he just has, you know,
a brilliant way of seeing the floor. And that sounds
strange to people because in all sports how do you
see something? And the guy played water polos, so you're
already with the ball in your hand and you're surveying

(32:15):
the whole landscape there. So that's that's how he grew up,
understanding where everybody is and what I can do. What
a great advantage, great footwork, great touch, sees the floor,
willing to pass, a create You have to have an
imagination to be a great passer, whether it's in football
or in basketball, you have to you have to go

(32:37):
I can do that, I can see that. And that's
what's the brilliance of some of these players who see
something that you don't see, and it's something you're born with.
It's it's not a learned skill, but you know. To
watch him do what he does over and over and over,
I gets I marvel at it. But I don't think

(32:59):
he's ever We're going to get credit as being a
dominating player. He'll have dominating stats. I just don't think
people will go golly when he got on fire. He
was unbelievable. It's like Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan was unbelievable.
But tell me the best highlight of Tim Duncan's career
probably a bank shot. They're just but no style points,

(33:24):
but a lot of trophies. And that's all Joker cares about,
which is what That's all you should care about.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
He just wants to win, all right.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
We'll take a break Play of the day up next,
and uh more of your phone calls as well, plus
a quick NBA quiz the most points in an NBA
game with zero turnovers. Paully says, the answer is a
surprising answer. That'll keep you, that'll keep you in your

B Shard shot stall.

Speaker 3 (34:26):

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Sir, I love the call. That's Oiler's radio network. I

Shard scored the game winner. Eleven assists, fifteen points, the
most among NHL defensemen in the playoffs. Your play of
the day play of the Day, brought to you bond

(34:49):
the great folks at tire raq dot com. The way
tire buying should be. Uh So, we have a poll.
It's not a poll question, it's a quiz. An NBA
quiz is most points in an NBA regular season game
or playoff game with no turnovers. Paul either the most
points playoff in an NBA game where the player had

(35:11):
no turnover no turnover. Before you guess, I'm gonna give
you a series of hints and just jump out and
yell your answer when you feel ready. Once you answer,
you're out. Larry Bird incorrect.

Speaker 12 (35:24):
Okay, first hint, the player had sixty two points and
zero assists. Sixty two points and zero assists, So.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
That could have been Kobe. Okay, could have been Mike.
Who's the greatest hint?

Speaker 12 (35:42):
Because it think of someone who loved it. This is
ten years ago. Here's the second ten years ago, twenty
fourteen against Charlotte. Marvin's got it.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Marvin Carmelo came, Anthony, I love this stet.

Speaker 12 (35:57):
He had sixty two points, zero turn overs, zero steals,
zero blocks, and zero assists.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
I'm here to shoot. That's quite a box score. There.

Speaker 12 (36:08):
I've got twenty players in NBA history had fifty or
more points in the game with zero turnovers. Carmelo is
the only one who didn't have an assist.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Some of the names.

Speaker 12 (36:19):
Kobe had a couple iverson Reggie Miller had fifty seven
points and zero turnovers.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Bonies Coverage how many assists? I think he had like
four assists, maybe Reggie eight assists.

Speaker 12 (36:33):
Oh, okay, let me find the most assists in a
game like this. Distributor um Luca had fifty one nine assists,
zero turnovers, Michael had a few, Giannis had a few,
Kyrie had.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
A few, like Tatum should be in there, is in there.

Speaker 12 (36:51):
Oh, sixty points, zero turnovers and that was three years ago.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Okay. How many assists did Booker have when he had sixty? Oh?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
How many assists did Karl Anthony Towns have when he
had sixty?

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Checking?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
All right, Cavs are getting fourteen and a half tonight.
MAV's getting four against Oklahoma City. So this isn't turnovers.
I'm asking about assist I'm more interested in you score
all those points and you have no assists. I mean,
the no turnovers that's impressive, but no assists. It's like
when it goes to you, it's not coming back to

(37:26):
anybody else. Steve in California, Good morning, Steve, what's on
your mind?

Speaker 20 (37:32):
Good morning, Dan? Five eleven to ten. First off, I
wanted to say happy birthday to you, and also today
is my wife and Eye's twentiest wedding anniversary. Any suggestions
Dan on how to make it another.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Twenty Well, you either know it by now or you're
in trouble. Steve, you should have the game plan down
if you've lasted twenty years. I just think, make each
other laugh and respect each other every day. Just always
think what can I do? What's a small thing that

(38:10):
you do? It's it's just it's the little thing.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
What Todd?

Speaker 13 (38:17):
That's very well said.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (38:19):
I love the humor part of it and those go
a long way.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
But that doesn't work for you with your wife, not.

Speaker 13 (38:25):
To talk at all? Whatever possible.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Chemo in Virginia, Beach II, Keimo.

Speaker 17 (38:31):
Hey Damny, happy birthday. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
My question is.

Speaker 17 (38:36):
For your birthday, would you rather hit like a game
winning mid range jumper for Dayton or like with the
guys on a Sunday afternoon? Would you rather come out
of a bunker. It just knocked down a tournament winning shot.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
I'd rather hit a jumper, but I don't want a
mid range jumper. I want to three Thank you, Kimo.
I don't do either, but if I had my brothers,
I'd rather hit a three pointer.

Speaker 12 (39:06):
Yes, Paul, I have the stat for most assists in
a game where a player scored fifty points or more.
Would you like to guess this? It's a lot of
these are recent history because of the shooting aspect. A
couple old school players, Nate Archibald, had a couple fifty
point fourteen assist games, right, but the current guy is

(39:27):
still playing out West. They had fifty three points seventeen
assists eight years.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Ago for Houston James Harden.

Speaker 12 (39:38):
James Harden is correct, fifty three and seventeen.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Then I hope it was a win.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Now those days are long gone, long gone. Dallas in
Seattle as opposed to Seattle in Dallas.

Speaker 17 (39:52):
Good morning, Dan, thank.

Speaker 21 (39:53):
You for calling me back on your busy birthday.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Yep, you're welcome, Dallas, five nine sixty.

Speaker 17 (40:02):
All right.

Speaker 21 (40:02):
So I have two boys in elementary school, and they're
busy with all their sports activities, and every year I
find myself more and more involved with volunteering, helping out, coaching.
So I was wondering for you, mister Dan Patrick. Have
you ever got asked to coach basketball or did you
ever want to coach basketball?

Speaker 3 (40:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I have just been asked to help out. I don't
want to be a head coach. I was going to
help with grade school. That's fun to be able to
teach when they're still willing to listen to you. I
don't know if they're willing to listen anymore, but yeah,
I was always the aspect. I was very fortunate that
I had great hands on coaches and really wanted to

(40:48):
make you a better person as well as a better
basketball or baseball player.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
So there was that element.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
I don't want to be like Doug Gottlieb and all
of a sudden go I'm going to coach I know
Wisconsin Green Bay.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
I probably could, but Doug's gonna do that.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Paulie, would you look around see if there's an opening
for somebody with a no coaching experience hosting a national radio.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Show Wisconsin Stevens Point, and we have an opening.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Ooh, Terry Porter, Yes, Terry Porter, Wisconsin Stevens Point.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Doug Gottlieb will join US.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Coach Gottlieb will join us coming up hour two on
the way
