Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. It's the final hour on this Tuesday, Dan
and the Dan That's Dan Patrick Show, come on in
stay awhile one of the great shooters in NBA history,
Big Shot Bob Robert Or will join us on loan
from Spectrum Sportsnet. As the Nuggets close out the Lakers, well,
at least they got a win this year as opposed

(00:22):
to last year. Thundersweet the Pelicans. Celtic's up three to
one on the Heat, but they may have lost Chris
TOMPs Porzingis for a little while as he injured his calf.
Seventy six ers at the Knicks coming up tonight. Just
got word that Joel Embiid missed the morning shoot around
ahead of Game five tonight because he has a migraine. Also,

(00:44):
Kelly Oubray Junior he missed the shoot around he has
an illness. So you already have Embiid, who is questionable
with that left knee injury. He's banged up, Bell's palsy
in his face and now you have a migraine. Watch
him go for fifty tonight. By the way, according to DraftKings,

(01:05):
the UH Sixers are getting four The over under for
Joe l Embiid is thirty two and a half over
under Jalen brunch In thirty four and a half, Tyrese
Maxey over under twenty five and a half. Magic are
getting four and a half against the Cabs and the
Bucks are getting four against the Pacers. Whole question for

(01:27):
the final hour is going to be what seed no' connor?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, yeah, right now, we had better signing yesterday Travis
Kelcey or Jason kelce Right now it's gotten much closer.
Actually it's fifty two percent. And now say Jason kelce
it was up to almost over sixty before. All right,
just pretty good. Uh, and then we're just putting up there,
how many more years does lebron James continue to play?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
One?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Two, three or more? Two feels like the safe answer.
It almost feels like what I should have done was
put one or three or more. If he's more likely
to go one of the two.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Ways, retirement would be shot right now, that would be
that would shock a lot of people. I'm gonna guess,
I'm gonna say two. Let's say two. I don't know
if if Bronnie gets drafted and he gets drafted by
the Lakers. Lebron's on the Lakers, then he plays one season,
then he's accomplished what he wants to accomplish. I don't

(02:19):
know how important winning another title is as opposed to
playing on the same team with your son. And I
don't know if you can have both. Because if you
would have said, Lebron and Ad, we're going to be
somewhat healthy this year, or play in over seventy games,
I would have said, I'll sign up for that, and

(02:40):
Austin Reeves would play in over seventy games, okay, And
then I'm thinking the younger guys you're bringing in. Now
I got a deep roster. Now I got somebody who
can counteract Denver. Now we can bring in reinforcements here.
I don't have to have Lebron and Ad play all
those minutes in all those games, and they're gonna be
fresh when we get to the postseason. Well, they struggled

(03:03):
towards the finish line as far as where they were seated,
and it feels like it's been an uphill climb. And
then you run into the team that swept you last
year and you end up winning one game, and then
you have Jamal Murray beat you at the buzzer again.
Was this a good year for the Lakers? I'd say no,

(03:24):
it almost feels like it could have been a good year.
It was just bad timing that you ran into Denver
once again. But I said it, and I was told
by this by an NBA person, you want to play
Denver early. You don't want to play them late, because
once they get into that playoff rhythm, they're going to
be really hard to beat. I said, well, it feels

(03:44):
like they're hard to beat no matter when, and he said, no,
if you're gonna like the Lakers were in an enviable position,
if there is such a thing facing Denver, it's get
them early. But they play them close. But the difference
is normally you would think a Lebron team would be
the team that wins in the end. It's close. You

(04:05):
like their chances, but even at the very end, and
it was a microcosm to me of maybe what's happened
with this team? No timeout and really they had no
idea what they were doing. After Jamal Murray hits the shot,
at some point, don't you say, hey, if they make
a shot, this is the play I thought Joker made

(04:28):
one of the smartest moves. It was so small, but
you have to watch it again. Lebron gets the ball inbounds,
and you know the sideline, the baseline is your friend,
and Joker, you know, kind of guides him over to
the side. Lebron has to give the ball up. Prince
has a shot at the very end and they bow out.

(04:49):
But it was it was very subtle. You must go
up the middle of the court. You never go to
the left or right side. The middle of the court's
your friend. And Lebron went to the left. Joker cut
him off, and then all of a sudden you'd have
to throw it up, and then it's a desperation shot.
Three seconds to go, you can get a shot. Three

(05:10):
point six seconds, you can get a shot. And you
can see Austin Reeves. He's going down the sidelines. Ad
doesn't even look. He gets it right to Lebron. Well,
I don't want it to Lebron. If he's getting it
ninety feet away from the basket, Can I make an
inbounds pass where maybe we're going to be sixty feet
away where we can get a really good look there.

(05:34):
But no time out and Denver advances here, all right,
tonight seventy six Ers, Nicks, Magic Cabs, Pacers, and the
Bucks pull question for the final hour? Are we going
to change anything up? Seet no counter Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now we're going to see how much longer Lebron is
still playing.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dan Okay, So Joe El Embiid has a migrain bad
knee and I haven't heard if there's any update on
his availability there, Yes, Marvin, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
But don't you want to be at the garden tonight?
They're gonna have a championship parade with the Knicks.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
One of the night here, they're up three to one.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh my.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
They every time they advance to a round, the Knicks
fans never seen the disappointment.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
There's gonna be some youngsters. They're gonna have their shirts off,
and there's gonna be rallying crowd and they're gonna be
yelling and screaming, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
We do you want Boston?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
No, no, no, you don't want Boston. You're getting Boston.
At least one of the following Lebron James, Kevin Durant,
Steph Curry has played in the second round of the
NBA playoffs every postseason since two thousand and six. Two
thousand and five NBA postseason, the last time none of
these players played in the second round of the playoffs.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Stet of the day, Start of the day, Start out
of a day, scout out a day. This is the
start of the day, all right.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
A couple of phone calls in here, Uh, Tom and
Philly Lee just saw Final Hour? Hi Tom, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Dan?

Speaker 7 (07:07):
Goodrning?

Speaker 8 (07:07):
How are you great to have me on?

Speaker 9 (07:09):
Yeah? We read my wife and I read the Billy
Joel Show on Friday as well as an incredible show.
And we see you and Christy Brinkley up on the
jumbo Tron during Uptown Girl.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
We were not together, Tom, Christie and I were not together.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
No, no, yes you were, and you were both showed
up on the Jumbo trot.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (07:30):
And then after the show, we're taking a petticab to
meet up with friends for drinks, Rosen and Jess, and
we're blaring Captain Jack and singing along and we have
this woman pull off next to us a couple of
times and she's filming us, and all of a sudden
we realize it's Christy Brinkley filming us. So we get
out in traffic and we're taking pictures with Christy. She
could not have been she could not have been nicer.

(07:51):
She's coming back from the show. She's so friendly. And
then this morning we found out we put us up
on her Instagram. So it was an incredible night, incredible show.
Just went to share that with you. I know you
were there.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Thank you, Tom. Yeah, I'm looking. They're playing Uptown Girl
and then I just I look up on the jumbo
trying Christy Brinkley's up there, and I look down the
row that I'm in about twenty feet and there she
is just dancing, singing. It's like she heard the song
for the first time man's supposed to be written about her.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yes, Mark, how many artists can do what Billy Joel did,
Like just go to an arena Staples the Garden, TD Garden.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I think you met his dating history. I totally thought
you met his dating history.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Well that too, But how many people can have a
residency somewhere outside of Vegas, like at an arena that
seats twenty thousand, impact it every single time you perforce?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Well, East Coast Guy, New York Guy, Garden Springsteen could
do it. I mean, there's a few artists that can
do it. Now if you're talking about bands or just
as singular an artist, you know, and that's that's probably
a little bit smaller number that they were able to
pull that off. But Billy Joel at one point report

(09:01):
was dating Christy Brinkley and El McPherson, Like, come on.

Speaker 10 (09:06):
That's like Jackson making the Pro Bowl in two different sports.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
That is that is stat of the day right there.
I don't know if El McPherson's ever made stat of
the day, but she's made my stat of the day.
But do you imagine that Christy Brinkley and then Elle McPherson.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
Good for him?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Uh? Adam in Los Angeles, Good morning, Adam, what's on
your mind? Hey Adam? Well I did make him wait
for an hour? Shawn and Sacramento, Hi, Sean, welcome back, my.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
Uncle from another mother and my brothers behind the boards.
Great conversation. Man. I gotta say for that AT and
T commercial is because they did the exact room. Can
you usually want the opposite from your athletes? They stay silent,
maybe drop a line or two, and you let a
real actor handle the business. I'm on a whatever that
model's name is, she should have been headlining that commercial.
But I'll go ahead and lay down on that one.

(10:05):
But I did want to comment though, Seaton opened up
a pan of worms earlier with the whole best meal
of the day. And I'm a big proponent of breakfast
for dinner, usually around two am, usually after hitting a
couple of bars, and you're one hundred percent of rice
in Italy. Terrible breakfast country. Man, If I had to
have one more espresso or cappuccino with a with a

(10:26):
with a soft pastry, come on, man, you got to
get some meat, man. They got to get some heavier
breakfast items out there.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Okay, but here's the problem, thank you, Sean. Having just
gotten back from Italy, they eat so late that they
then get up late, and then they get up late
and it's already time for cappuccino and espresso pastry, and
then they'll get to lunch, and then they'll take their nap,
and then all of a sudden they come back later

(10:53):
in the day and then they go yea, have dinner
at nine o'clock at night. Breakfast isn't important because they're
not up early for breakfast. That's what I'm surmising from
the situation.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
See, it's a great coffee culture. I'm all about the cappuccino, espresso,
all of it. Heck, yeah, just let's get some eggs
going sometime in the morning.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't get this where we would walk by and
there would be like this place where you would just
get these little cubs of cappuccino. And I said to
my wife, I said, they only give you a little bitch.
He goes, well, they have to just give you a
little bit because it's going to carry the rest of
the day.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
If you go to like a rest stop on a highway,
on an Italian highway, you could stop off and get
gas or whatever, and you jump in, You're going to
get a coffee.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
The coffees are that big.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
You'd sit there right at the counter, you'd drink the coffee,
leave the cup, and then take off.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
It'd be like if you went into a bar and said,
just give me a shot, and you did a shot
and then he left. It's exactly what it is. That's
exactly what their rest ups are like. The rest ups,
by the way are awesome.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
You can get phenomenal sandwiches there.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, Jimmy and Arizona. Hi Jimmy wents on your mind tonight.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Hi, dan him.

Speaker 11 (11:59):
Jim you were talking about the NFL schedules. I was
going to throw out if they go to a to
an eighteen game schedule, they need to go to twenty
weeks and two buys. Then take the buys and work
them with the Thursday night games so there's no more
two games in five days. They can easily work this schedule,
maybe give up one or two weeks of the Thursday game,

(12:21):
but now you have ten.

Speaker 12 (12:22):
Days to prepare ten days. If you want to get
to eighteen games safely, they got to get rid of
the two games in five days, and they can do
it very easily by adding a buy two preseason games.
I'm gonna go through the season and we end up
on President's Day.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Thanks Pellosten, Thank you, Jimmy. I agree. I've said that before.
You can't have professional football players play two games in
five days. Can't do it, and somehow they figure that out. Look,
I'm I wasn't big with expanding, Like I don't want
everybody making the playoffs. I don't need, you know, more games.
I need better games. I need healthy players to be

(13:00):
able to play, because, let's face it, you get to eighteen,
you get to twenty it's just a game of attrition.
How many guys are going to be able to play
those games? At what point do you get load management
in the NFL? Mike in La, Hi, Mike, what's on
your mind today?

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah? Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. You know,
when I was watching that first round of the NFL Draft,
there's always going to be that one team that makes
me scratch my head, and until this morning, it was Atlanta.
But now thinking about, you know, their tampering charges and
possibly losing that first round pick, I think in lieu
of that, they just say, hey, let's just take a

(13:41):
quarterback right now. And now it makes perfect sense to me.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, that was brought up to me that if you
lose your first round pick next year, but how high
are you going to be picking next year? You have
the eighth pick. If Kirk Cousins plays well, then maybe
you're in the twenties next year. Maybe you don't have
that opportunity. I understand it, but I don't think I'm

(14:05):
taking Michael Pennix because we're going to lose a first
round pick because we were tampering. Let's let's, you know,
go back to the beginning here. Why did you feel
the need to tamper with Kirk Cousins. You want him
so badly, and then do you really want him badly?
You kind of want him badly. It's like when you
are trying to get this girl to date you, and

(14:26):
then she dates you, and then you go, hmm, okay, hey,
who's that? Well that's what happened, Kirk. Will you go
out with this?

Speaker 7 (14:36):
Kirk?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Would you Kurk, would you please go out with you?
Will go out with us?

Speaker 11 (14:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Okay, Oh wait a minute, look at that. Who's that?
Oh his name is Michael Michael. We love you Falcons,
fall in love tamper. Now, all of a sudden, you
got a guy who's going to be watching Michael pennixs
Tay all the first team reps in OTAs, and those

(15:04):
players are gonna know. They're gonna be like, dang, this
guy's good and he is. This isn't about Michael Pennix.
It's about having a strategy, and I think the Falcon
strategy is flawed. All right, we'll take a break. We'll
talk to Robert or as Lebron played his last game
as a Laker. If you're the Lakers, do you have

(15:25):
to draft Lebron James's son I'll be coming up next.

Hey, this is Tom Verducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
And I'm Joe Madden.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
We're going to be around to talk a little bit
about manager decisions and what may have occurreded to the dugout,
maybe in the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 13 (16:03):
It's the Book of Joe podcasts. I can't wait for this, Joe.
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in Major.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Djokachaz and The Peyton Murray Duck, Doug Lacron, Taylor Crown
James get the hell out of the way. Courtesy of
Altitude Radio Network. Jamal Murray had two dunks of the
forty eight field goals he made in the series. Two
of those field goals won the game. It's your play

(16:46):
of the day, post play of the day. Here seems successive. Yeah,
Lebron James, get the hell out of them. I know
that's necessary. Robert Or, a Lakers commentator for Spectrum Sportsnet,
seven time NBA Champ three with the Lakers joint, just
show on the program. How you feeling today?

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Really good? Brother? How are you man? Good to see?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Good to see you when Nuggets had the ball game tied?
Or are you thinking trap?

Speaker 5 (17:14):
That's what I was thinking. Trap and rotate.

Speaker 15 (17:17):
You know, that's the thing when you got shooters like Murray,
and he can be bad one, two, three those quarters,
but that fourth quarter he comes alive. And for me,
you get the ball out of the most dangerous manhand.
And I'm a strong believer in that, and a lot
of people like say that's old school basketball. But make
someone else be the superstar, make someone else knock down

(17:37):
a big shot, get it out of the head of
the snake's hand and the Lakers didn't do it. They
were just content with switching.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Well, I wondered about that, and you're saying that they
should have forced somebody other than Jamal Murray to take
that shot. So you would have been comfortable if Joker
ended up with the ball with the game on the line.

Speaker 15 (17:55):
No, in that situation, you got the Joker and Murray
in the pick and roll. Soon as you see that
pick can roll, the backside defense should be talking, I'm gone.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
We used to call it amazingly. We used to call
it Denver.

Speaker 15 (18:06):
Where you run over and you trap the ball and
someone else stays on the big and you make someone
else beat you.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
And you got to think about it.

Speaker 15 (18:13):
It's three seconds left to go on the clock, and
guys are looking at the clock on the from the
other end of the floor, and you say, hey, go
and then you square up because that three seconds you
gotta pass it. You gotta that trap makes you go
further away from the office. It's so many things that
can happen in that play, but you gotta stand.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
Guys are too good. Now one of them.

Speaker 15 (18:33):
It doesn't matter if you put the best defending and
be on them or the worst defending guys are gonna
get buckets.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
All right, Lakers? Moving forward? What would you do in
the off season?

Speaker 15 (18:45):
You know what it's for me is to make sure
these guys come back. I think you need to run
it back and with everybody, with everybody. I know a
lot of people down on Dlo's a lot of people
down on all these guys. I think Dlo earn something
this season that he can be a player in this league.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
And if he wants to play defense, and that's the thing.

Speaker 15 (19:06):
If you watch d Low when he wants to play defense,
he can play defense. And I think with this team,
you know, if d Lo gets high, he had a
great season and Lebron comes back. But the key is
if you bring that core back, you have to make
Ady the focal point.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
You have to you know, Lebron has to.

Speaker 15 (19:23):
Take a back see ar, all these guys have to
take a back seat because tell me what guy in
the league can stop ad Nobody. So you go with
that advantage.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Well, look, he had a good year this year. If
you would have said he's going to play seventy five games,
I would have been like, there is no way.

Speaker 15 (19:43):
But I've made a bet with some friends of mine
that he would play seventy five games because I believed him,
because I looked at his body come into this season.
He looked really good. He had no belly. You know,
that's how you can tell if guys worked out, they
got a little pooch, you know, they got a little flippiness.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
He had no fleffiness coming into the season.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, can I get that season again from him? Can
Lebron give me that season again?

Speaker 5 (20:08):
Can?

Speaker 9 (20:09):
Like?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's what I'm concerned about, Robert, is they had good
they had a good year this year. Yeah, it's just
they ran into the team that they can't get by.

Speaker 15 (20:19):
Yeah, they Nemesis, but they found that, they found a
way to contend with that. And so now you're looking like, Okay,
this is how we beat this this is this team,
this is the formula, Lebron. I know you're gonna be
what what forty?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
But Robert, Robert, are the Lakers better than Minnesota?

Speaker 5 (20:36):
You know what? I think? So?

Speaker 15 (20:38):
And the reason is you don't look at records all
the time. You look at matchups. And when you look
at matchups, you look at you got guys like Ruie,
who has a big body that I'm not gonna say
he can stop it man, because he's playing amazing. That
can stay in front, that can handle that strength, you know,
meet force with force, and that's what this is about.
Can you meet force with force? And think about it.

(21:00):
Every time Lakers play Minnesota, Gobert can't stop ad Cat
can't stop eighty And that's the biggest key, you know.
And I think Cat, he's become a three point shooter,
so you don't have to worry about that post up aspect,
so you can put Ruey on him, and so the
matchups are perfect.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
It's all about matchups.

Speaker 15 (21:19):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
What's Lebron?

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Do you know?

Speaker 15 (21:24):
I think Lebron, with all the projects he have going
up here in LA, I think he's going to use
that leverage to get one last big contract. And I
know a lot of people are saying, oh, he wants
to play with Brian and he wants to do this,
you know, I think with Brianni, you know, I know
he's in the portal now, but he depends on what
he's gonna be. But I think he's gonna stay because
at the end of the day, you look at all
let's look, let's take James Harden for instance. You know,

(21:46):
he set a record that they making thirty points on
five different team. Do you really want that have a
part of your legacy jumping from team to team to team.
You think about the greats, you know, Kobe, Dirk, you
know Tim These guys then't jump from team to team.
They stayed on one team. No, Lebron has been on
three teams, and I don't think he wants that to
be a part of his legacy.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Okay, but do the Lakers have to draft his son?

Speaker 15 (22:07):
No, they don't. You know, at the end of the day,
the Lakers are about winning basketball. Now, if you have
a slot, and let's be honest, this draft, it ain't
the best draft. There's no dominant number one player, there's
no dominant top five players. It could go anyway, you know,
because of the draft it is so weak. You draft him,
you know you drafted because you know I watched him play.

(22:27):
You know, my son and him play against each other.
Sarah Kenyon, Harbor, Westlake. I've seen him play. The guys
athletic is hack. He can play. You know, he's a
great defender, so he could be a project player. I'm
not saying he gonna come in the league and set
the league on fire, but if he does play, he
does leave to go to the NBA, someone can take
the project player, because that's what he's gonna be, because
he's not ready yet, because he's still you know, needs

(22:49):
to learn the game, like a lot of these guys
coming into the draft.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
He's Robert or the Lakers commentator for Spectrum Sportsnet. How
good are the Nuggets?

Speaker 15 (22:57):
The Nuggets are real good, but you you do see
a flaw in their their their armor, and that's their bench.
And you know, with Murray having to play so manytes,
you know, Yokis. You know, that's the first time last
night I saw Yokis look like out of wits. He
had so many turnovers, he didn't go to the free
throw line. It was so many things. So I know
he tweaked this ankle earlier in the series. Is that

(23:19):
affected him? But I think this next series is going
to be the test, you know. Other than that, I'm
not worried about anybody else anywhere but Minnesota, and it
comes to beat in Denver because I think Minnesota they
give them problems their size and their strength and the athleticism,
and that's the only team that's going to give Denver
nuggas problems, but I see there is a chink in
the armor.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, I agree. I agree that Minnesota is dangerous and
it's all about matchups. Who does Jokis remind you.

Speaker 15 (23:46):
Of uh Sabonis, not the young Sabonis, the old vetas
our Vitas Sabonis. You know, the thing is you have
to watch the Vetis when he was young, not the
Portland Uh Sabonis, because his athleticism was amazing. You know,
you got to see little little snippets of him. And
when he came into the league in Portland, know he

(24:06):
was killing it. His ability to pass that behind the
back pass that that Yokis did the other night, so
Bonners was doing that to Dame and start amound every
time on the post. It was the most unique past
that you ever see. And I just think, you know,
Yokis the way his ability to knock down threes and
rebound and you know he can't jump over a curve,

(24:27):
but somehow he knows how to position himself put himself
in the right position to get rebounds.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
You know, like Dennis Robin.

Speaker 15 (24:32):
Now Dennis Robin can jump, but he was that guy
that he knew exactly when that ball hit the rim
where it was gonna go, and he went to that
spot and got the rebound.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Going forward a better chance to win a title the
Warriors or the Suns.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
That's a trick question. Man.

Speaker 15 (24:50):
The Warriors are their aging dynasty. And when you can't
count out step and it all depends on Clay Man.
You know, I look at Clay's health and and I
love Clay. He was one of those quote unquote two
way players that you just admire when he plays a game,
but his body is just you know, he's letting him down.
And and you know the volatility of Draymond. You don't

(25:12):
know what's gonna go on with that. But I think
when you got a gunner like Steph, you get a big,
you know, a big that could you know, anchor their back,
you know, get some rebounds, play some defense, block some shots.
I think they can run it back. Because they're an
undersized team. Draymond can't do all that anymore. He can't
block the shot. He can get the rebounds, but he
can't block the shots. So when you have a shot

(25:32):
blocker that can protect guys when they press up on
them like that, I think they can run it back.
So I will say the Warriors the Suns. They just
I think they getting ready to have a coaching change,
which will be wrong. They gonna try to they got
they make the Big Three make too much money, so
they can't get any players in there. They're just they're
gonna be in the shambles for the next couple of years.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Okay, but could you see Durant saying, let me go
someplace else.

Speaker 15 (26:01):
You know, it's almost the reverse of what I said about,
you know, James going. But I don't think Durant mines.
You know, he wants to win. He's trying to find
the right location.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Like if I said Miami, Hey.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
Oh that would be nice right there.

Speaker 15 (26:15):
He went to Miami because I think, you know, one
of the things we don't talk about with Durant is
his ability to play defense. And I think Durant he
would buy into the quote unquote heat culture and think
about it, Miami really doesn't have a prolific score. I
know Jimmy Buckets can get but but that's not who
he is. He just likes to play the game and

(26:35):
take what's given to him. If you put him on
that team, now you got a new King of the East.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
I just and I don't know anything. I don't have
any knowledge. Nobody told me anything. I just wondered, sure
if I'm KD. No, if I'm KD uh huh. I
don't like this mix with Phoenix. Frank Vogel's got like
what four or five more years left on that contract.
Bradley b is always nice in a Wizard uniform, but

(27:02):
now you're playing in big games, and I mean, Devin Booker,
Can you trade Devin Booker? Would Devin Booker want to
be traded? Maybe you get some assets there.

Speaker 15 (27:14):
You know, Devin Booker is to me one of the
great players in this game that doesn't go talked about,
you know, because he's in Phoenix.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
And it's weird because if you think about guys.

Speaker 15 (27:23):
Who can score at every point on the four post
of mid range three, he can do it all. But
because he hasn't been able to get over that hump.
You know, they've been to the finals, they weren't able
to go to that hump. It's just like they forget
about him. But I think he is a valuable asset
and whoever gets him if he goes in it. But
I don't think he wants to go anywhere because he

(27:45):
he has all those cars in Phoenix. He likes riding
in Phoenix. He can't do that in New York. He
can't do that in Miami. So that's the perfect place
for him. So he can really love those cars. So
I don't think he's gonna go anywhere he.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Could go to. You go to Utah. Plenty of space
out there to drive your car around. If that's the case.

Speaker 15 (28:03):
Yeah, but he has no supporting cast. I think it's
gonna get him to the promise left.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Do you believe in the Knicks?

Speaker 13 (28:09):
You know?

Speaker 5 (28:10):
I do not.

Speaker 15 (28:11):
I think I think you know, Bronson is a hell
of a score, and he's doing what you did. But
I think at the end of the day, they need
some size. They're not big enough, you know. With healthy
mb you know, and with them being able to play,
I think it'd been a different story. But who knows, though,
you know, sometimes you might be able to have that
three guard front, you know, and and get pass it.

(28:33):
I just think they're too little at the end of
the day.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Always great to talk to you, Thank you, Robert. I
hate saying it, but have a nice offseason.

Speaker 15 (28:42):
It's good And lets you know, I hung my Gary jersey,
so I hung it in my atrium.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Oh you did, yes, finally because he talked so bad
about me. Well, you had it there, but you didn't
hang it.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
I just I had to hang it.

Speaker 15 (28:56):
You know.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
I thought about you when I was.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Hanging Thank Youbert at Robert Dorry, Lakers commentator for a
Spectrum Sports Net, seven time NBA champ one three of
those with the Lakers. Yeah, I'd unpack some of this here.
If I'm durant, I probably say, you know what, let's
explore something here. Because he's what thirty six, he'll be

(29:21):
thirty seven? Maybe Lebron is going to stay for a
couple of years. Do you draft his son? Probably? Yeah?
How old is Kadie Marv He's thirty five? Thirty five? Okay,
maybe an older thirty five? Yes, definitely banged up a

(29:43):
little bit there. Let me get a couple of phone
calls in here. Brandon in Wisconsin, Hey Brandon, Hey Dan.

Speaker 9 (29:53):
Thanks taking my call?

Speaker 5 (29:54):
Man.

Speaker 16 (29:54):
Sure, Hey guys, So I'd like to make my case
for Jordan Love being a top five quarterback. Well, I
feel like maybe it's because of the draft and all
the new shiny toys that are coming out, but it
seems like everybody's kind of forgetting.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
About Jordan Low.

Speaker 16 (30:09):
I mean, the kid was top five in most important
stats last year, not to mention brought him almost two
playoff victories against teams we shouldn't ever been in the
game again, So I don't know. Again, I think it's
just being around draft time.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Okay, but give me your top five then Brandon.

Speaker 16 (30:28):
Well, you got to go Mahomes, you gotta go Burrow.
But then you run into like do you take Justin Herbert?
Do you take just or Jordan Love?

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Right now, I would take Justin Herbert. I mean, and
I'm gonna put Lamar in there, and I'm gonna put
Josh Allen in.

Speaker 16 (30:45):
There, and then I mean, you have the conversation, don't you.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well I've said that Jordan Love is a top ten
quarterback and that's after one season. So it's like, I'm
fine with that, and you should be fine with that.
Once you get into the top five. Now all of
a sudden, it's like, hey, you got to win. You
got to win consistently. I mean, that's what we're asking
Josh Allen take the next step. Joe Burrow, can you

(31:10):
get back to the Super Bowl? Lamar Jackson, you got
to go further in the playoffs. Justin Herbert, you had
a melt down second half against Jacksonville in the play like,
that's what goes along with the territory. And Jordan loves
got to be ready to be able to step up
every time when you have those moments. And he's only
played one year and the second half. He didn't play

(31:31):
well in the first part of the year, but second
half he played really, really well. You beat Dallas. Look,
you could have won that next game as well. Played well.
Get no arguments here, but I would say, let's just
let's just get into the top ten. Don't have to,
you know, leapfrog everybody. It's okay, do it this year.

(31:56):
Then you got a chance to be in the top five.
Hunter in Missouri, Hi Hunter, what's on your mind?

Speaker 17 (32:04):
Hey, DP, appreciate you guys taking my call. Second time,
long time. I joined the Dead Dad's Club last week,
so I wanted to call in and welcome myself to
the club. And then this commercial that you guys were
talking about earlier. I'm on board to get this thing

(32:25):
off air however I can be. It has been a
topic of discussion in my house since we first saw it.
It's the worst commercial ever, and then I just wanted
to say thank you to you guys. Man Like times
like these make you appreciate the little things, and you
guys just bring levity and joy into my life every day.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
So thank you well, thank you Hunter, and welcome to
the Dead Dad's Club. Marvin, could you play the commercial
that Hunter is bothered by the Oklahoma City thun.

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Thank you for exactly what I pronce. What are Throne needs?
Whatever makes me happy?

Speaker 15 (33:00):
He says me, free, good, a little bit slap, We'll
get better.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
I think ched Holmbern thinks he nailed it. I think
that that that might be part of the problem.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Because I think they kind of did nail it whilst
also not.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Wait what do you mean, like they were they good
at bad?

Speaker 2 (33:22):
I think that they I think that it isn't necessarily
them that's flawed. They executed the commercial exactly the way
it was supposed to be done.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
It's just a flawed commercial. Well wait a minute. They
could sing better.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, but then they wouldn't be able to be like, oh,
there's a little flat, but then it would be to
be a.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Different Oh, but then you just nap each other and
you go killed it nailed it.

Speaker 18 (33:45):
Yes, time Shadows had some nerdy hand gestures at the
end of that. It's just on top of the bad
singing was just brutal, and it's.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Wait, wasn't he doing like a pit bull or something? Nerdy?
What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (33:55):
That was riz right there.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
That's what the young kids says.

Speaker 18 (33:57):
He's like pointing to himself at the end of his
was weird, and I'm thanking you.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I'm never gonna listen to you when you say something's
not cool, Todd just say, here's this finger on the pulse.
You're You're the last I'm going to go to when
the is that cool?

Speaker 18 (34:14):
I think I'm more bothered by the Actually the wing
Stop no fleck zone, no flex zone, no flex zone.
The commercial that's over and over again. If you watch
any NBA you must have seen the commercial a thousand times.
That's the second that it goes to a commercial. You
run out of the room. It's a Wingstop commercial and
they just say, no fleck.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
The guy's playing Jango or something.

Speaker 18 (34:32):
I don't know how you guys not know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
It's funny though, because we all know the AT and
T one, but I can't even think of this other one.

issues there, and you're going into the garden tonight where
the knicks are favored by four Jim and palm springs.
I Jim, what do you have for me today?

Speaker 17 (36:00):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (36:00):
Hey, good morning Dan, thanks for taking my call. Hey,
a couple of quick takes. I heard your Jack Daniels
tiasco yesterday. Okay, eating way around that Seaton probably knows
very well. And this is my long standing little way
I get around that is a half pint of Jack Daniels,

(36:20):
stick down the front of your pants, get a large
dict coke, and you're good for the whole show.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Well, thank you, Jim. I didn't even think I don't
have Jack and coke. I just thought, you know what,
I gotta stay up. This is probably going to end
at around ten thirty eleven, and I just thought, give
me some little caffeine, So I thought Jack and I
went double Jack and coke, and then it tasted so
good that I went double Jack and coke again. Second

(36:47):
half of the concert, Billy Joel, Yes, Tom, you're.

Speaker 18 (36:49):
Singing Captain Jack and that got you in the mood
for that particular.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Maybe maybe that's a good point. Conscious Marvin did find
the commercial that Fritzy says is worse than the Shake
Guild Chad Holmgren commercial No Flex, No Flex. Okay, yeah,

(37:17):
I remember that.

Speaker 18 (37:18):
Yeah, they think they runned every commercial break when when
the NBA goes to a commercial NBA on TNT, Yeah,
it's a wingstop commercial and a guy's playing Jenga with
his family and they're trying to taunt him with chicken
sandwiches and wings so that he'll mess up the Jengas range.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Oh that's crazy, Yeah, that's wild this day sports history, Pauline,
what do you have for just a couple?

the trade the changed basketball. The Hawks traded the rights
to Bill Russell to Boston for Ed McCauley and Cliff Hagen.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Even trade.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, although easy, Ed McCauley and Cliff Hagen, we're really
good players. Bill Russell going to the Celtics. You know,
I can't imagine what that was like when Red Arbach
would call you up, Like at some point, did you
just Saydellima, not here because it wasn't going to go
well for you, Like when Jerry West would call you up,
say hey, A got a deal for you. So wait

(38:51):
a minute. We get Vade and you get the rights
to Kobe. Yeah, okay. Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning in
nineteen ninety eight the Knicks Game four scuffle with the Heat,
and that's when Jeff Van Gundy was holding on to

(39:13):
Alonzo Morning's leg. I love Van Gundy, but how much
money would he pay for us to like, wipe that
from our minds. Yeah, let me see. So we got that.
