It's called in the Bonus You Just typ Been Doug
Gotlip Show, where you get to your podcast and you

(01:13):
Eastern Conference Finals Game two tonight. Our guy Max Good
is going to join us. Longtime coach, he's been a
like me at Division one head coach. He's been a
head coach at Maine Central Institute when they were the
best prep school in the country. And we bring him
in for our Boston Celtics analysis as the Celtics just
found a way to win in Game one. Wait to
(01:37):
hear what Charles Barkley had to say about the WNBA
and Joe Varden's going to join us as he covers
the NBA for the Athletic We'll find out who's gonna
be the next head coach in Cleveland as the Cavs
seem to have a pretty good year and yet Dan
Gilbert still pulled the plug on the bicker Staff era.
But let's start with last night. Last night, the Dallas
(01:58):
Mavericks end up holding off the Minnesota Timberwolves to take
a one game to none series lead. Here's Luka Doncik
talking about what got him going in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We'll got you roll on offensively in the fourth I
just said to him, I said, you know, we got
to win this game. I gotta be way better because
three quarters I didn't play good. So I just came
into fourth, get to my spot and led the team
to win.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Competitive greatness Can he be great when greatness is called upon?
And I understand that Luca has not gotten past the
Western Conference finals. I understand that we have not seen
him in an NBA finals, so we don't see him
as a champion, and we see him as somebody even
going back to the Thunder series, Remember he missed that
free throw at the end of Game four that could
have tied the game. But Luca did was a part
(02:49):
of a European Championship with Slovenia, he was the MVP,
and a FIBA Championship with I think Real Madrid when
he was nineteen years old. As that in him. And
while we're sitting there thinking to ourselves, and it still
may happen that this is the series where Anthony Edwards
(03:10):
really does put himself in that elite conversation. You know,
it's the Anthony Edwards takeover. Maybe it still happens. It's
only game one, but if you watched last night's game
and you think Anthony Edwards was the best player on
the floor, I would ask you to go and get
your eyes adjusted. Now, look, Luca, he was actually a
(03:32):
minus nine by his own admission, didn't play well through
three quarters, but he ends up with thirty three points,
eight assists, six rebounds, three steals, a block shot, and
a hard fought three point win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
(03:52):
I mean, he is literally everything in that fourth quarter
you could hope he could be, and thanks to Kyrie
Irving who got him there and Kyrie didn't hit any threes,
they end up pulling off the win, pulling out the win.
Here's Luca on the team defense and pace the play.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think our defense could be way better. I think
we played today good defense, but we can be way better.
And then with our price, you know we've been last year.
Our point of view, I mean in the preseason was
to move to move the ball faster, play with space,
and I think we've been doing that fun.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Here's Jason Kidd, the head coach of Dallas Mavericks, talking
about Kyrie Irving, who was incredible in the first half.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
What was Kyrie doing in the first half? Tason went
the twenty four foster kind of set the tone he was.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Being Kai you know, just picking his spots, using you know,
different places on the floor to attack. I thought he
did a great job of helping everybody relax, you know,
on the offensive end, and then I thought defensively he
was competing. We got to do a better job of
guarding a three point line. But I thought Kai was
(05:00):
for us in that first half and got us off
to a good start and we were only down three
and we just felt like we didn't play well.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, you know, it's it is really interesting that you
can can you survive when you're not playing well to
allow your best player to ultimately play well. But I
also think a good portion of it is the matchups.
And this is such a different matchup, different matchup for
(05:29):
the Wolves, a different matchup obviously for the pacers, I
mean for the pacers, for the for the Mavericks, and
that's what gives us a different outcome. Then, Hey, the
Timboleves took down the defending champion, so the Timbolves have
to be the best team. The Timbolves have better depth
than they're going to beat the Dallas Mavericks. And this
is just different, you know, It's just different. And I
(05:50):
also think that Anthony Edwards as good as he was defensively,
going back to their last series and even in their
first series against the LA Lakers, it's totally totally different
when you're guarding, and he got matched up sometimes with
Kyrie Irving, who you struggle to keep up with that
speed and quickness. You know, every defensive player doesn't guard
(06:13):
every position well. And Anthony Edwards, who's a scorer, been
trying to really buy in on defense. I think it's
hurting his offensive game. And I also think that with
Kyrie when we get cross match there, that didn't work
out well. But the I don't know. The bigger takeaway
to me is I've been trying to tell everybody how
good Luka Doncik is. People in the NBA know how
(06:36):
good Lukadancik is. My only question is do now people
at home understand how.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Good he is.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And maybe this is it's a lot like the size
of NBA players, you can't truly appreciate it until you
sit courtside. Maybe it's the speed of the NFL that
you can't really appreciate unless you go and sit close
in an NFL game. Maybe it's the physicality of soccer,
like soccer at a high level professional soccer, international soccer.
(07:07):
Unbelievably physical, but you can't really see it unless or
you're deep dive in there, you've played it yourself, or
you're really really close to the game. I don't know
if it's he's wearing black shoes which make you look slower,
he isn't particularly fleet of foot, like, it's not a
lot of cut on his arms, and all of a
sudden he ends up with thirty three points and eight
(07:27):
assists in six rebounds. But the Luca takeover is for real,
and whether you don't like him because he complains about
every call, or you don't like him because it looks
like he's moving in slow motion. And we grew up
thinking that Michael Jordan jumping over small buildings with the
(07:48):
single bound was the only way to be a great
basketball player. And the reality is that though Tracy McGrady,
for example, could score, could jump, I could score and
could jump way higher than Luca Doncik, Luca is a
better basketball player.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
This is the best of the Don dot Leap Show

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Er.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Uh, you know, I never in my life thought it
was possible for us to continue talking about the WNBA,
but it is a thing. And uh, last night I
believe in the dub in the dub the Caitlin Clark's team,
(09:01):
which is the Indiana fever? Why are they naming it
in the fever? Does anybody know? Like, does anybody know?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I have no idea. It's not a very like complimentary name.
And it's like, it's a disease. You know what your
experience when your body reacts to a disease.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You know, it's a great point, do it you? Uh?
You do you starve a fever and feed a cold?
Or do you feed a fever and starve cold? Not
really sure?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And if they really wanted to be alliterative and medical,
they could have called it the Indiana inflammation, ah, because
that also happens when you when you catch a disease inflammation.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh, what would a better Indiana nickname be you know,
you have the Indianapolis Colts, which were really the Baltimore Colts.
So they just took the name over right, The Indiana
Pacers a La paste car in the five hundred. See
what we did there, Like Indiana Pacers is a dad
(10:02):
joke all in there at once. What would the what
would an appropriate what? What would have a better Indiana?
And this is not I don't think it's like a
historic It's not like one of the first couple of
teams in the w NBA. So somebody spent some time
thinking about this and came up with the Indiana Fever.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Go uh So.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
This is from sporting news dot com. Why Sporting News,
Why is Indiana's w NBA team called the Fever? So
it's said, it's not a commentary on big Farmer reminder
to wash your hands.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
It has.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Rather, the name fever appears to do with the metaphor
metaphorical term fever blah blah blah. Mirriam Webster's definition heightened
emotion and contagious, usually temporal craze. The Hoosier State loves hoops.
In fact, it could say it could be said that
Indian residents have developed something of a fever for the topic,
hence the name fever.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yes, basketball fever.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, they should have been called the basketball fever and
then gone by the fever. That would have been a
lot more sense. There's also called basketball.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Jones feverish pace. You know, paces got it?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I still don't love it. Did you guys watch last night?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I don't think it was even on TV? I mean,
could you watch it in the w NBA app?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't know. I I you were, mister Caitlin Clark fan.
I thought I thought that was a w NBA app.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
It was not on It was not televised, but it
might have been on the app. But I do not
And I think there is a service that you could
buy that kind of like a CAPACITYEA. Yeah, if you really,
I don't have that. I don't have that.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I did see they were down three, and they were
in an inbounds play for and the and she dropped
the ball. Yeah, and you got a double team didn't
get it off. In fact, it was it was a
well designed played bad defense and she was open, but
there was actually another teammate who was more open.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
She continued to struggle three point shooting. She's had won
her last game before that. She shot the ball very well,
but two of eight from three. Uh so we'll keep
an eye on that. And they continue to get closer
and closer. Last two games have been close losses. What
how do we get the near miss thing with with airlines?
How is it a near miss? Isn't it a near hit? Anyway?
(12:15):
They nearly won, which is a near hit? Instead, it's
a miss for the Indiana. We no know why they're
called the fever. But what's more interesting is some of
the pushback she's gotten from fellow WNBA players, and Lebron
talked about it two days ago yesterday. This is Charles
(12:38):
Barkley discussing other WNBA players.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
You women out there, no petty man, Hey, Lebron, you
one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Ride on these girls. Hey known Caitlin Clark. Y'all petty girls,
we're the most intecree group in the world. You are,
y'all should be taking that girl again.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Y'all ass private charters, all the money and Ben's a village?
Does she bring into the jump the NBA. Don't be
penny like dudes. Listen what she's accomplished, y'all flowers, don't

Speaker 9 (13:33):
They can't do anything to me.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They gonna hate you today.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They can't. They can't hate on me.
Speaker 9 (13:37):
When that male man better be at my damn house
the first time the fifteen another year.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
For another year.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Uh, that's funny. It's very very funny. But he's right.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Here's the thing, Okay, here's the thing. I gotta be
honest with you. In my twenty one years in the
broadcasting business, I have no doubt that what I'm saying
is most often true. It is not always always true,
(14:14):
it is most often true. What's true in broadcasting is
true in the WNBA. Here's how it is very very
hard to be a woman in the profession. Okay, I
have several friends who are really talented broadcasters. I've worked
with some of the best of the best of the best,
(14:38):
and I think it's hard, and it's hard because look,
most guys they don't really want to hear women talk
about sports. That's just how their brains are wired. You
can call men male, shown his pigs or whatever, but
the reality is most guys they just you know. I
(15:01):
would also say, in reality, it's the same with people
with a foreign accent. Like, stick with you for a
second and see if this makes sense to you. You know,
when you're watching soccer, okay, no matter what World Cup
or even if you watched Champions League whatever, for whatever reason,
when you're watching, you seem to gravitate towards people with
(15:25):
a British accent, right, for whatever reason, you feel like
they know more about the subject matter than Alexi a
lot less. Does you ever notice that? No, I'm serious,
It's like, for whatever reason, now, in the NBA or
in the NFL, if somebody has a foreign accent, British accent,
(15:49):
German accent, heck, even has an Indian accent. If you
have an accent from Australia, you know, I go on
the ri IDEO in Australia. I love my bugs down there.
But when they talk about like NFL football, you will
instinctively find it hard to find them credible. And I
(16:11):
think the reason is because we all assume, right or wrong,
that we know more about the things we did growing up,
and if you grew up the way that we grew up.
Right and Americans, we know football guys, we play football,
we watch football, we go to high school football games,
baseball as well, maybe basketball, and for whatever reason, instinctively,
(16:32):
when we hear a guy's voice with an accent which
is not one of from the United States, we believe
that they know less about people who have some form
of American accent. Well, the same is true for women.
We dismiss their voices oftentimes in sports, wrongfully so most
(16:54):
times because our thought is, well, they didn't they didn't
play when you're growing up, like you, you were doing
other things, When the reality is some women who are
on the radio or on TV are far more accomplished
athletically have a far greater sense of sports, not all
of them. And sometimes you know, like in TV, we
(17:14):
forced stuff, but then many of the men and some
of it doesn't even matter. Like you're reading scores and highlights.
Who cares as men or women just do a good job.
Make me laugh, make me smile, and get out of
the way, like that's truly it. But I will tell
you that having friends who are women in the business,
they'll say, like, look, it could be really hard because
(17:36):
some people don't find women to be credible, no matter
how credible they actually are. That's reality. Here's another reality again,
not all, but a much higher percentage of women are
incredibly petty. If you were to ask the ten biggest
(17:58):
broadcasters in sports and maybe I don't know. I can't
tell you about news. I have some friends and news,
but in sports, you asked the ten based women, they
will tell you that that the people that give them
the most adjuda, that that are the hardest sometimes to
work with and deal with are women, which doesn't make
(18:20):
any sense right like women should it doesn't mean you
have to unite and grow power and all do things together.
But a lot of them, boy, they talk a lot
of trash about the rest of the whereas guys like
I don't, I don't care it is, don't women like man?
Can it be catty? Man? Can it be petty? Jase Stu.
(18:40):
You've worked on a couple of the big television lots.
Do I have any validity accuracy with what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I don't know if I can co sign on that
last part, but I can tell you the testimonials I've received,
and by and large, it is a much tougher business
for women to be in than men. Absolutely, But as
far as who's more petty, I don't know. Barkley seem
(19:09):
to be saying that men are more petty, but you disagree.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, I think I think women are women are. I
think I think NBA guys are super petty and jealous.
Whatever I think most guys, I don't think most is.
I think women can be incredibly petty, incredibly catty, and
not have an understanding that like, like Barkley said, like
if anything, you should champion this woman. What she's doing
(19:37):
is good for all of you. Instead of complaining about
your lot in life, enjoy the fact your lot in
life's pretty good and getting better. And her popularity is
the reason why. You know, her popularity is the reason
why I just look, I've been doing this a long
time and I we we all seen. Can you imagine
(20:02):
if when who came over last year to Miami in soccer? Yeah,
I mean, can you imagine if guys, you know MESSI
comes over and there was just like I, you know,
I can't believe and I get it that this is
MESSI stepping down level of competition. It's not really a
(20:23):
parallel to her stepping up in level of competition. But
it's just this lack of sense of how it actually works.
You had two players from the Phoenix Mercury complaining about
flying about flying commercial from Phoenix to Las Vegas. Now, look,
if the WNBA teams want to fly charter, that's their rights.
(20:48):
But in terms of cost benefit analysis, from Phoenix to
Vegas is maybe an hour flight. Maybe if I'm running
a WNBA team, like, of course I'm flying commercial there,
it's like ten x more expensive to fly charter, and
(21:11):
it's so unnecessary. I'm not saying that charters aren't useful,
especially the Connecticut Sun useful. Phoenix is a hub you
can find anywhere in America, anywhere in the world from Phoenix.
Why the hell do you gotta fly charter to go
to Las Vegas. But what's happened is just the caddydus
and pettiness is at peak. The entitlement is like, what
(21:35):
is going on here? And what's been built up over
time is this resentment of really the NBA and maybe
the media because you feel like you haven't been covered, right,
But the reality to it is, I get over yourself,
cut out the pettiness. And I agree with Barkley. I
(21:57):
agree with the brown women hate on Caitlin Clark, and
you can say, like, look, she's gonna have to get better,
she's gonna have to get more efficient. This this is hard.
She's a rookie. We're the best in the world. She's
got to join us, and she's got to lift up
a franchise that was so don downtrodden. They got the
number one pick. All of that stuff is fine, but
(22:18):
it's a cattiness and the pettiness that just I don't know.
To me, that turn turn turns me off. Okay, so
you got the Chicago sky Is that right? New York
Liberty makes sense?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
That's Angel Reese's team, right, New.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
York Liberty or skygo Scott. Yeah, I guess Chicago Sky
is like Chicago Skyline? Is that is that?
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Why?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah? Yeah, Phoenix Mercury because the thermometer and the mercury, right,
that's where we get.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
The Phoenix Mercury makes sense.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yes, Washington mystics, I don't know I'm not sure that one.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Huh, Wizards to play off the Wizards.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Play off the Misards, right, yeah, okay, l A Sparks
What is that about anyways? Don't know that one's a
weird one.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Maybe because they play in the summer and fourth of
July you use those sparks.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Reach, Stretch, Armstrong Reach Dallas Wings do they play by
the airport? Wings? Was a good show.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
It was good, but it wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, it wasn't great. I said good, I did overseell.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
It right, solid show.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
TV.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Hold on, hold on, I'd like to retract. I'd like
to retract. I'm gonna go with Dan solid solid Uh
Seattle Storm. Yeah, you got the alliteration. Plus it rains
there all the time. Atlanta Dream? Does anybody know I'd
landa dream? Is that?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Is that a play on m m ok yep, I
have a dream? Yeah? That makes sense?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But why Atlanta?
Speaker 8 (24:02):
I think a lot of his work was done in
the state of Georgia and in the city of Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Las Vegas Aces makes sense, Phoenix, Mercury, Okay, Minnesota.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Lynx, Bobcats up there, you know are in Minnesota, I
would assume, so.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Okay, Connecticut, Sun. That's because they playing the Mohegan Son.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
That's kind of a weird one. Huh, that's kind of
a weird one, just because that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
They play in the Mohegan Sun. That's what they got
it from.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And to me, I think I think the Fever should
do the exact same thing. They need to put their
nickname up for sale. I guarantees a major sponsor will
buy that more revenue.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I have a couple of suggestions. Go for popcorn, you know,
I get your popcorn ready? Orville Reddenbacker came from Indiana.
I love that. Yes, get your popcorn right?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Okay, give me another one.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Uh, Princess of Wales.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna skip that one.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Indiana, Princess of Wales. Anybody, anyone.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's just too many memories.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Yes, Nicole, what about Nicole Smith?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Anna, Nicole Smith, Indiana Nicole Smith. That's great, that's good anymore.
You made Sam laugh and not talk. So well done
by you.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But Fever makes me think of night sweats.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, I think it should be Indiana Basketball Fever.
That would be cool, Like like the Knicks are the
New York Knickerbockers, right, But they're called the New York
Nicks Indiana Basketball Fever. They go by the fever. I
love that, and then you could have then you can
have sweat. Should say Indiana basketball Fever, right, and then
the fever is the logo. But Indiana Fever just makes
me think of COVID really.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And the only thing contagious what the fever is losing losing.

be should be kind of interesting, you know, especially considering
we're just trying to figure out how much carry over
there is from game one to game you know, from
Game one on that that's really what it is, and
(26:50):
it's you know, it's one of those things where the
one that got away and we I could, I could
sit here and act like I know that it's gonna
affect the Pacers. I don't. I think it does. I
think it really rears its head when you get late
into a game if it's close. But I don't know
if it affects them for the positive for the negative.
(27:12):
You know, there's an expression I like to credit myself,
but I'll be honest, there's a chance somebody else said it,
but I kind of think I brought it to the table.
It goes like this, you got to feel the pain
before you taste the champagne. You have to go through
the traditional progress of losing before you win. Now that's
(27:34):
usually for a series, for a team, for a level,
to get the NBA Finals, to win a ch NBA championship.
But there is something to in this series that can
the Pacers feel that pain of the game one loss
when they essentially had it won and still taste the
champagne of winning this series? I don't think. I don't
(27:54):
think they can. I think this that was a series
changing loss that could have been a series changing win.
Usually the better team, and the Celtics by all metrics,
are a better team in the regular season. Usually the
better team can struggle game one, but game two they
get their legs. And if this Celtics team gets his
legs in game two, this series is kind of a rap.
(28:15):
But I also don't don't particularly know, don't know because
sometimes some guys get super motivated by it and they're
not in their feelings and they take out that anger
on the opposing team. Or we'll get Mack with Max
Good in a moment.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
There's lots of discussion about the eighteen game NFL season.
I just I got to continue to point out that
one of the most frustrating things in life is when
you have a deal done, signed and delivered and then
somebody goes man, that deal that I agreed to stinks, Okay,
(28:55):
so you can process that by your next deal, not
making that mistake. But you hear former NFL players in
some current ones talking about eighteen games. This is just
lining the pocket, the pockets of the owners, Like we do,
realize that the contracts of players are spiking up, spiking up,
and they're doing so because there's more revenue, and they're
(29:15):
more revenue because there's more games. There's more games because
they mutually agreed in a collective barding agreement to play
more games. It's not I have little sympathy. I have
zero sympathy for NFL players playing eighteen games. Zero. And
(29:37):
I have zero sympathy for the idea of lifetime healthcare
insurance for former players. One ridiculously expensive and two unless
the NFLPA is willing to sit out games when the
con when the contract is over, to get their own way,
what are we doing. You negotiated this deal. It's a
(29:57):
ten year deal, and now you think it's a bad
deal because you negotiated a couple of years ago. That
one doesn't stand up to me.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Hey Dan, Hey, Dan would Yeah? Was your uh? Were
your ears ringing between ten am and noon today? Dan Barr?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Why is that?
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
No, Jason McIntyre was filling in for the herd today
and he had your new partner on the weekends, Carry
Rhodes on the sholf and they had this exchange.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
Dan Byer, great golfer, by the way, is it good? Excellent?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (30:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
One golf all day last Sunday. Okay, I get it now,
I get it.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
Dan Byer Great Golfer by the way, have you loved
maid golf chasing?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Yes, I have went when not the Premiere Network's golf
outing of twenty nineteen, I believe yes. In the the
fall of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Were you great that day?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
We won? Yes, usin the guys from Carshield.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
And buy a Great Golfer by the way.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
It was me J Mack and the two guys from Carshield.
We teamed up and we won the event.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Did J Mack set up the camera so you could
film every stroke?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
There was no camera? H it was. It was a
really fun day. We had a We had a really
good time.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
Didn't buy a Great Golfer by the way.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Ended up providing some good shots for the squad that
brought us home the title that day.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
What's the most rewarding shot in a scramble that you
can provide for your team.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
It's funny because the best shot I ever hit in
a scramble was that day. We actually used my drive
on a par five and we used we hit our
second shots and I thinned one, but thank goodness I
did because it went about twenty yards further rolled up
about a foot from the cup. I was a foot
(31:51):
away from having a two on a par five, so
that the best shot that I've ever hit. That's as
probably as good as it's going to get. It's even
more rare than a hole in one would have been
if it would have went in.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
What do you think of the Scottie Scheffler video.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I can't tell much from it, like there's either just
it's often the distance of where this incident took place.
I don't know what's going to happen. The mayor even
spoke again today, but the charges still stand. I have
a feeling it's going to go away at some point.
I think the last thing that the Louisville Police Department
(32:28):
wants is this to continue to be in the news,
which you know we talked yesterday and why they would
hold the press conference. And I don't know if we
were both right or both wrong, Doug, but I thought
that they had some maybe gotcha video to prove like
this is our this is our guy. All they did
was say, our guy didn't turn on his body cam.
(32:49):
We have punished him for that, and here's video that
you really can't tell what's going on. That's that's what
today was.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I think what they were trying to do is be
completely transparent, and an effort to be completely transparent, they
came across as like, I don't you kind of wasted
my time?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yes, that's how I felt about it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Like great, thank you for sharing. Uh, Now I still
I know less and less now. I watched a video
like five six times. You know me, I'm a I
like watching video. I was hoping for something. I'm like,
am I missing something? Is there something here that that
that isn't aha? And the answer is no, it was
a noha instead of an aha. That was a terrible
(33:35):
dad joke. That's what that was. It's a dog Gotleeb
show here on Fox Sports. Trady, let's welcome in.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
He's the man, he's the myth, he's the legend. He's
Max Good, long time college head coach, assistant coach, legend
in the prep school circuit. And he joins us on
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Max, how
are you?
Speaker 10 (33:56):
I'm going fine? Doug?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
You doing I'm good? Do you have any players for me?
That's the that's the first thing I need to know.
Do you have any players for me?
Speaker 10 (34:04):
Well, Cooper Flyg I know really well and his family
there are awesome people. But he's already going to do.
But I was just gonna say, instead of you being
on the radio show, you my ought to be out recruiting.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Well, it can't be out recruiting. It's a dead period
right now, Max, But I appreciate that. But we but
we can, we can. We can be on the we
can be on the iPads and we can be on
the phones. We can be on the zooms, which I
which which I have been all day. Max, Good Jenny
us here on on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Max, What
what went so wrong for the Celtics to put themselves
in that position where they had to come back to
(34:40):
the night.
Speaker 10 (34:42):
Well, first of all, I think the Patiers have got
a nice team, and uh, they've got a kid that
Aaron Nasmith was drafted by the Celtics in the first
round and he's had a chip on his shoulder because
they got rid of him to get brogged. And now
Brogden isn't even with them, and he is an elite
(35:03):
defender and he really was getting after Tatum the other night.
And but you know, all these guys can play. There
aren't bad players in the NBA. Some are obviously better
than others, and there's a league. One of the Morris
twins hadn't even played hardly for a month, and the
(35:24):
other night he went for thirty in the game. You know,
not the other night, but recently. You know, there's good
players everywhere. But I think the Patients have got a
really nice team, and they play fast and they're hard
to guard. They're relentless. But having said that, I think
(35:45):
the Celtics probably would be health to they had or
zingas obviously, but injuries have been you know, they've been
the beneficiary of Celtics have almost every team they've played
leading up to this have had some major injuries. So
it all comes out in the wash.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yep, Doug got the show here on Fox Sports Radio.
The end of the game. Who's to blame for the Pacers?
Speaker 10 (36:10):
Well, I don't like the point blame, but you know,
they got a rookie, I believe he's a rookie, took
the ball outside, and you know, I don't think if
the Pacers did a good job creating the lead to
get open. You know, I think even if the sie
alchem had caught that ball. He might have walked, or
he might have gone, you know, kept going out of
(36:31):
bounce even if he was able to unless he took
what jump stopped and he was going so fast, he
might have walked anyway. But you know, there were what
fifty two minutes and fifty eight seconds before that happened
for other thing. You know, there are other things that
happened along the game. But people always want to play
the blame game or the you know on one side
(36:53):
and the hero game on the other. But you know,
at the end of the year, you probably have five
or six games it's you shouldn't have won, and you've
lost five or six that's you shouldn't have lost. Just
unfortunate that have happened in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Do you think the Pacers can shake off a loss
where they probably thought they had the game one in
order to and compete tonight, because you know how that
is max win. Like you have a game if you
feel like it's one right, ten seconds ago, three point lead,
good free throw, shoot, get the ball, then get fouled,
make two free throws, let's get out of here. You know,
(37:31):
but you lose that game. How hard is that to
come back from.
Speaker 10 (37:37):
I don't know. I remember two or three years ago
Marcus Smart, who was one of my favorite players and
still is, although I think Drew Holiday is you know,
the is probably as good, if not a little better player,
and he's got beautiful countinence. You know, he never gets flustered,
he never shows frustration. He just plays. But it's gotta
(38:03):
be hard. But they got to dismiss it someone way
or another. They're gonna have to. I think they're capable
of beating Boston, though I surely do. I just I'm
not sold on the Boston, you know. I think offensively,
there's too much I so too much one on one
and it's Tatum and Brown. They're both very capable players. Obviously,
(38:27):
Brown shot may eventually go down in the animals is
one of the biggest shots in Celtic's history, the shot
he made the other night. But I don't know. I
just hope it's a good game. I hope it's a
good game.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Okay, But you take me into Rick Carlisle's coaches locker room.
How do you get guys to not think about concern
themselves with the collapse the other night?
Speaker 10 (38:54):
Well, you know, I don't know that might be a
tough sell, but I think they really like land for him.
They like the freedom he's giving them, they like the
pace they're playing with. And you know, you look at
the plays that Holiday didn't want. Halliburton. I think Halliburton
came out the next day and said Holiday is the
(39:15):
best defender in the NBA. Now I'm sure he means
in regard to guarding him, but you know, yourw Holidays
a handful. He's strong, and he's smart, and you know
he doesn't he just makes winning plays. And I think,
you know, they're professionals. They're professionals. I think they'll bounce back.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I think they will, but I don't know they will.
You know, I think they will, but I don't know
they will.
Speaker 10 (39:46):
Nobody knows they will. And of course the Celtics keep
wandering about Porzingis, and I think, to be honest with you,
of the Celtics, you know, Pacers did a great job
at and Horford. And I love Horford. He just had
a game recently with like twenty three points and fifteen
(40:07):
rebounds in the playoffs. But you know, the Pacers really
made sure that on switches they got to him. And
the Celtics are playing all drop defense and they were
giving up the foul line jumps up shiockem. Really he
doesn't miss many of.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Those, No, no, he doesn't. Stug got show here on
Fox Sports Trader. That's the voice of Max Good, long
time college head coach and of course college assistant and
prep school coach. Just a legend in the basketball professional
Joinges to the Doug Gottlieb Show live atthetyraq dot com studios.
Would would you be okay with saying that if Larry
(40:47):
Bird came out today, he would have a lot of
There would be some attributes which are similar to Luca
you know. Now, look, Bird was not a point guard
Luca is, but in this era you'd probably handle the ball.
But the point is that what Bird had was the
(41:08):
ability to get by you without you know, just being
a blur and to always get a shot off and
always be creative. And I think that's what Luca is.
Is that a fair parallel anyway?
Speaker 10 (41:19):
I think so Bird is. It's like pat Riley said,
he said, if I have to win the game, I
want Jordan take the shot. If I want somebody to
shoot to save my life, it's going to be Larry Bird.
I think Larry Bird would be better in today's game
than he was when he played, because he'd, you know,
(41:42):
hid it kill the three point shot today? That's why
it's JJ Reddick saying that stuff about Bird is kind
of it's absurd, really, Larry Bird. I think I would
take Bird over Lebron, and I think it's not it's foolish.
Steven compare Jordan to Lebron. Jordan is so much better
(42:03):
and so much more competitive Tiger Woods and Tiger Woods
and Jordan are probably the two most competitive athletes, said,
I'm aware of, but Bird would be awesome today in
today's game.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I agree.
Speaker 10 (42:21):
I agree you ten speed speed. Luca Stacy Augman is
one of my very best friends. I have the most
admiration in the world. What an honest, hard knows guy
he is. And I asked him once, I said, coach,
how good is John Morant? He said, Coach, he's good.
He's got a chance to be really good. This was
(42:44):
a couple of years ago. I called him about two
weeks later and I said, how good is he as
good as Luca? He said, bail No, he said Luca Lucas.
He said, coach, he isn't killer, you know in his
own way. He is so dark competitive, and I said, well,
(43:07):
I know he's not tremendously fast. He said, Coach, he
doesn't have to be. He gets even with you here, beat.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
He doesn't put shit by you.
Speaker 10 (43:15):
If he gets even with you. He is so strong
and is so knowledgeable. And and you know he's been
playing important basketball, I mean pressure pack basketball since he's
probably thirteen or fourteen. I think Luka donnots is. You know,
he'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer and he
may end up being one of the five or ten
(43:36):
best players ever played the game.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Wow Max Max goods our guest here on the Doug
Gatlib Show on Fox Sports Radio. Conversely, Anthony Edwards not
really efficientcym to struggle some last night to really explode.
What's your take on the amp Man?
Speaker 10 (43:51):
Well, I really like him. I think he's a great
two way player. But I think people are getting way,
way way ahead of themselves saying he's the next Michael Jordan.
I don't think there'll ever be another Michael Jordan. Ever,
I really don't. And I thought there'd never be another Joker,
and then who's the guy that plays for Houston. He's
(44:14):
got a similar type game. He's a post players.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
That pronounced or whatever. But yeah, he's the Turkish player.
Speaker 10 (44:26):
Yeah, he's got a similar style of the game. But
I just don't think Michael Jordan is so competitive and
he's psychotic and he's a sociopath. I mean, I talked
to Tom Kinsalski about him, and he said he came
up to five star camp. He said he was they
were doing drills and he was the nicest kid in
(44:48):
the world. When they were doing drills. The first day
they played, on the opening tip, he hit the guy
next to him in the throat with an elbow and
rendered him useless for vote. Two more days after that,
he he said, he is just so so, so so competitive,
and you know he's he's he was fearless. I think
Jordan is firing away the best player that ever played,
(45:10):
and I don't. I think I think birds are as
good as well.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Wrong, Prime, Prime Bird, Prime Bird. I would agree with you,
you know, I would absolutely agree with you, Prime Bird. Obviously,
the difference is that the longevity of time which Lebron
has played. Uh, coach, thanks so much, coach, thanks so
much for join us. I can't get on the road
recruiting right now. But you can so go bring me
(45:36):
back some players, would you?
Speaker 10 (45:39):
Okay, Hey, you've got my number, could you call me?
I wanted to talk to you about something on another
issue ironically.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Okay, have you have?
Speaker 10 (45:49):
You got your whole staff? And this isn't for.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
About me, coach, coach, I do not and I will
call you.
Speaker 10 (45:59):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
You're my guy. That's Max good. He's the best. Who
doesn't love who doesn't who doesn't love him? When he's
hit me up to try and try and help him
with my staffing. Here live on National Radio.

We have a great podcast which drops after the show.
It's called in the Bonus You Just typ Been Doug
Gotlip Show, where you get to your podcast and you
can download it. We have two easts. We have the
(01:13):
Eastern Conference Finals Game two tonight. Our guy Max Good
is going to join us. Longtime coach, he's been a
like me at Division one head coach. He's been a
head coach at Maine Central Institute when they were the
best prep school in the country. And we bring him
in for our Boston Celtics analysis as the Celtics just
found a way to win in Game one. Wait to
(01:37):
hear what Charles Barkley had to say about the WNBA
and Joe Varden's going to join us as he covers
the NBA for the Athletic We'll find out who's gonna
be the next head coach in Cleveland as the Cavs
seem to have a pretty good year and yet Dan
Gilbert still pulled the plug on the bicker Staff era.
But let's start with last night. Last night, the Dallas
(01:58):
Mavericks end up holding off the Minnesota Timberwolves to take
a one game to none series lead. Here's Luka Doncik
talking about what got him going in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We'll got you roll on offensively in the fourth I
just said to him, I said, you know, we got
to win this game. I gotta be way better because
three quarters I didn't play good. So I just came
into fourth, get to my spot and led the team
to win.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Competitive greatness Can he be great when greatness is called upon?
And I understand that Luca has not gotten past the
Western Conference finals. I understand that we have not seen
him in an NBA finals, so we don't see him
as a champion, and we see him as somebody even
going back to the Thunder series, Remember he missed that
free throw at the end of Game four that could
have tied the game. But Luca did was a part
(02:49):
of a European Championship with Slovenia, he was the MVP,
and a FIBA Championship with I think Real Madrid when
he was nineteen years old. As that in him. And
while we're sitting there thinking to ourselves, and it still
may happen that this is the series where Anthony Edwards
(03:10):
really does put himself in that elite conversation. You know,
it's the Anthony Edwards takeover. Maybe it still happens. It's
only game one, but if you watched last night's game
and you think Anthony Edwards was the best player on
the floor, I would ask you to go and get
your eyes adjusted. Now, look, Luca, he was actually a
(03:32):
minus nine by his own admission, didn't play well through
three quarters, but he ends up with thirty three points,
eight assists, six rebounds, three steals, a block shot, and
a hard fought three point win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
(03:52):
I mean, he is literally everything in that fourth quarter
you could hope he could be, and thanks to Kyrie
Irving who got him there and Kyrie didn't hit any threes,
they end up pulling off the win, pulling out the win.
Here's Luca on the team defense and pace the play.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think our defense could be way better. I think
we played today good defense, but we can be way better.
And then with our price, you know we've been last year.
Our point of view, I mean in the preseason was
to move to move the ball faster, play with space,
and I think we've been doing that fun.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Here's Jason Kidd, the head coach of Dallas Mavericks, talking
about Kyrie Irving, who was incredible in the first half.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
What was Kyrie doing in the first half? Tason went
the twenty four foster kind of set the tone he was.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Being Kai you know, just picking his spots, using you know,
different places on the floor to attack. I thought he
did a great job of helping everybody relax, you know,
on the offensive end, and then I thought defensively he
was competing. We got to do a better job of
guarding a three point line. But I thought Kai was
(05:00):
for us in that first half and got us off
to a good start and we were only down three
and we just felt like we didn't play well.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, you know, it's it is really interesting that you
can can you survive when you're not playing well to
allow your best player to ultimately play well. But I
also think a good portion of it is the matchups.
And this is such a different matchup, different matchup for
(05:29):
the Wolves, a different matchup obviously for the pacers, I
mean for the pacers, for the for the Mavericks, and
that's what gives us a different outcome. Then, Hey, the
Timboleves took down the defending champion, so the Timbolves have
to be the best team. The Timbolves have better depth
than they're going to beat the Dallas Mavericks. And this
is just different, you know, It's just different. And I
(05:50):
also think that Anthony Edwards as good as he was defensively,
going back to their last series and even in their
first series against the LA Lakers, it's totally totally different
when you're guarding, and he got matched up sometimes with
Kyrie Irving, who you struggle to keep up with that
speed and quickness. You know, every defensive player doesn't guard
(06:13):
every position well. And Anthony Edwards, who's a scorer, been
trying to really buy in on defense. I think it's
hurting his offensive game. And I also think that with
Kyrie when we get cross match there, that didn't work
out well. But the I don't know. The bigger takeaway
to me is I've been trying to tell everybody how
good Luka Doncik is. People in the NBA know how
(06:36):
good Lukadancik is. My only question is do now people
at home understand how.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Good he is.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And maybe this is it's a lot like the size
of NBA players, you can't truly appreciate it until you
sit courtside. Maybe it's the speed of the NFL that
you can't really appreciate unless you go and sit close
in an NFL game. Maybe it's the physicality of soccer,
like soccer at a high level professional soccer, international soccer.
(07:07):
Unbelievably physical, but you can't really see it unless or
you're deep dive in there, you've played it yourself, or
you're really really close to the game. I don't know
if it's he's wearing black shoes which make you look slower,
he isn't particularly fleet of foot, like, it's not a
lot of cut on his arms, and all of a
sudden he ends up with thirty three points and eight
(07:27):
assists in six rebounds. But the Luca takeover is for real,
and whether you don't like him because he complains about
every call, or you don't like him because it looks
like he's moving in slow motion. And we grew up
thinking that Michael Jordan jumping over small buildings with the
(07:48):
single bound was the only way to be a great
basketball player. And the reality is that though Tracy McGrady,
for example, could score, could jump, I could score and
could jump way higher than Luca Doncik, Luca is a
better basketball player.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Er.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Uh, you know, I never in my life thought it
was possible for us to continue talking about the WNBA,
but it is a thing. And uh, last night I
believe in the dub in the dub the Caitlin Clark's team,
(09:01):
which is the Indiana fever? Why are they naming it
in the fever? Does anybody know? Like, does anybody know?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I have no idea. It's not a very like complimentary name.
And it's like, it's a disease. You know what your
experience when your body reacts to a disease.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You know, it's a great point, do it you? Uh?
You do you starve a fever and feed a cold?
Or do you feed a fever and starve cold? Not
really sure?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And if they really wanted to be alliterative and medical,
they could have called it the Indiana inflammation, ah, because
that also happens when you when you catch a disease inflammation.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh, what would a better Indiana nickname be you know,
you have the Indianapolis Colts, which were really the Baltimore Colts.
So they just took the name over right, The Indiana
Pacers a La paste car in the five hundred. See
what we did there, Like Indiana Pacers is a dad
(10:02):
joke all in there at once. What would the what
would an appropriate what? What would have a better Indiana?
And this is not I don't think it's like a
historic It's not like one of the first couple of
teams in the w NBA. So somebody spent some time
thinking about this and came up with the Indiana Fever.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Go uh So.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
This is from sporting news dot com. Why Sporting News,
Why is Indiana's w NBA team called the Fever? So
it's said, it's not a commentary on big Farmer reminder
to wash your hands.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
It has.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Rather, the name fever appears to do with the metaphor
metaphorical term fever blah blah blah. Mirriam Webster's definition heightened
emotion and contagious, usually temporal craze. The Hoosier State loves hoops.
In fact, it could say it could be said that
Indian residents have developed something of a fever for the topic,
hence the name fever.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yes, basketball fever.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, they should have been called the basketball fever and
then gone by the fever. That would have been a
lot more sense. There's also called basketball.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Jones feverish pace. You know, paces got it?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I still don't love it. Did you guys watch last night?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I don't think it was even on TV? I mean,
could you watch it in the w NBA app?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't know. I I you were, mister Caitlin Clark fan.
I thought I thought that was a w NBA app.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
It was not on It was not televised, but it
might have been on the app. But I do not
And I think there is a service that you could
buy that kind of like a CAPACITYEA. Yeah, if you really,
I don't have that. I don't have that.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I did see they were down three, and they were
in an inbounds play for and the and she dropped
the ball. Yeah, and you got a double team didn't
get it off. In fact, it was it was a
well designed played bad defense and she was open, but
there was actually another teammate who was more open.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
She continued to struggle three point shooting. She's had won
her last game before that. She shot the ball very well,
but two of eight from three. Uh so we'll keep
an eye on that. And they continue to get closer
and closer. Last two games have been close losses. What
how do we get the near miss thing with with airlines?
How is it a near miss? Isn't it a near hit? Anyway?
(12:15):
They nearly won, which is a near hit? Instead, it's
a miss for the Indiana. We no know why they're
called the fever. But what's more interesting is some of
the pushback she's gotten from fellow WNBA players, and Lebron
talked about it two days ago yesterday. This is Charles
(12:38):
Barkley discussing other WNBA players.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
You women out there, no petty man, Hey, Lebron, you
one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Ride on these girls. Hey known Caitlin Clark. Y'all petty girls,
we're the most intecree group in the world. You are,
y'all should be taking that girl again.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Y'all ass private charters, all the money and Ben's a village?
Does she bring into the jump the NBA. Don't be
penny like dudes. Listen what she's accomplished, y'all flowers, don't
fan petty all you women out there, she got y'all

Speaker 5 (13:27):
That money and shine to the jump NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Well, they gonna hate you even more, Hatten.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
They can't do anything to me.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They gonna hate you today.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
They can't. They can't hate on me.
Speaker 9 (13:37):
When that male man better be at my damn house
the first time the fifteen another year.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
For another year.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Uh, that's funny. It's very very funny. But he's right.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Here's the thing, Okay, here's the thing. I gotta be
honest with you. In my twenty one years in the
broadcasting business, I have no doubt that what I'm saying
is most often true. It is not always always true,
(14:14):
it is most often true. What's true in broadcasting is
true in the WNBA. Here's how it is very very
hard to be a woman in the profession. Okay, I
have several friends who are really talented broadcasters. I've worked
with some of the best of the best of the best,
(14:38):
and I think it's hard, and it's hard because look,
most guys they don't really want to hear women talk
about sports. That's just how their brains are wired. You
can call men male, shown his pigs or whatever, but
the reality is most guys they just you know. I
(15:01):
would also say, in reality, it's the same with people
with a foreign accent. Like, stick with you for a
second and see if this makes sense to you. You know,
when you're watching soccer, okay, no matter what World Cup
or even if you watched Champions League whatever, for whatever reason,
when you're watching, you seem to gravitate towards people with
(15:25):
a British accent, right, for whatever reason, you feel like
they know more about the subject matter than Alexi a
lot less. Does you ever notice that? No, I'm serious,
It's like, for whatever reason, now, in the NBA or
in the NFL, if somebody has a foreign accent, British accent,
(15:49):
German accent, heck, even has an Indian accent. If you
have an accent from Australia, you know, I go on
the ri IDEO in Australia. I love my bugs down there.
But when they talk about like NFL football, you will
instinctively find it hard to find them credible. And I
(16:11):
think the reason is because we all assume, right or wrong,
that we know more about the things we did growing up,
and if you grew up the way that we grew up.
Right and Americans, we know football guys, we play football,
we watch football, we go to high school football games,
baseball as well, maybe basketball, and for whatever reason, instinctively,
(16:32):
when we hear a guy's voice with an accent which
is not one of from the United States, we believe
that they know less about people who have some form
of American accent. Well, the same is true for women.
We dismiss their voices oftentimes in sports, wrongfully so most
(16:54):
times because our thought is, well, they didn't they didn't
play when you're growing up, like you, you were doing
other things, When the reality is some women who are
on the radio or on TV are far more accomplished
athletically have a far greater sense of sports, not all
of them. And sometimes you know, like in TV, we
(17:14):
forced stuff, but then many of the men and some
of it doesn't even matter. Like you're reading scores and highlights.
Who cares as men or women just do a good job.
Make me laugh, make me smile, and get out of
the way, like that's truly it. But I will tell
you that having friends who are women in the business,
they'll say, like, look, it could be really hard because
(17:36):
some people don't find women to be credible, no matter
how credible they actually are. That's reality. Here's another reality again,
not all, but a much higher percentage of women are
incredibly petty. If you were to ask the ten biggest
(17:58):
broadcasters in sports and maybe I don't know. I can't
tell you about news. I have some friends and news,
but in sports, you asked the ten based women, they
will tell you that that the people that give them
the most adjuda, that that are the hardest sometimes to
work with and deal with are women, which doesn't make
(18:20):
any sense right like women should it doesn't mean you
have to unite and grow power and all do things together.
But a lot of them, boy, they talk a lot
of trash about the rest of the whereas guys like
I don't, I don't care it is, don't women like man?
Can it be catty? Man? Can it be petty? Jase Stu.
(18:40):
You've worked on a couple of the big television lots.
Do I have any validity accuracy with what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I don't know if I can co sign on that
last part, but I can tell you the testimonials I've received,
and by and large, it is a much tougher business
for women to be in than men. Absolutely, But as
far as who's more petty, I don't know. Barkley seem
(19:09):
to be saying that men are more petty, but you disagree.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, I think I think women are women are. I
think I think NBA guys are super petty and jealous.
Whatever I think most guys, I don't think most is.
I think women can be incredibly petty, incredibly catty, and
not have an understanding that like, like Barkley said, like
if anything, you should champion this woman. What she's doing
(19:37):
is good for all of you. Instead of complaining about
your lot in life, enjoy the fact your lot in
life's pretty good and getting better. And her popularity is
the reason why. You know, her popularity is the reason
why I just look, I've been doing this a long
time and I we we all seen. Can you imagine
(20:02):
if when who came over last year to Miami in soccer? Yeah,
I mean, can you imagine if guys, you know MESSI
comes over and there was just like I, you know,
I can't believe and I get it that this is
MESSI stepping down level of competition. It's not really a
(20:23):
parallel to her stepping up in level of competition. But
it's just this lack of sense of how it actually works.
You had two players from the Phoenix Mercury complaining about
flying about flying commercial from Phoenix to Las Vegas. Now, look,
if the WNBA teams want to fly charter, that's their rights.
(20:48):
But in terms of cost benefit analysis, from Phoenix to
Vegas is maybe an hour flight. Maybe if I'm running
a WNBA team, like, of course I'm flying commercial there,
it's like ten x more expensive to fly charter, and
(21:11):
it's so unnecessary. I'm not saying that charters aren't useful,
especially the Connecticut Sun useful. Phoenix is a hub you
can find anywhere in America, anywhere in the world from Phoenix.
Why the hell do you gotta fly charter to go
to Las Vegas. But what's happened is just the caddydus
and pettiness is at peak. The entitlement is like, what
(21:35):
is going on here? And what's been built up over
time is this resentment of really the NBA and maybe
the media because you feel like you haven't been covered, right,
But the reality to it is, I get over yourself,
cut out the pettiness. And I agree with Barkley. I
(21:57):
agree with the brown women hate on Caitlin Clark, and
you can say, like, look, she's gonna have to get better,
she's gonna have to get more efficient. This this is hard.
She's a rookie. We're the best in the world. She's
got to join us, and she's got to lift up
a franchise that was so don downtrodden. They got the
number one pick. All of that stuff is fine, but
(22:18):
it's a cattiness and the pettiness that just I don't know.
To me, that turn turn turns me off. Okay, so
you got the Chicago sky Is that right? New York
Liberty makes sense?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
That's Angel Reese's team, right, New.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
York Liberty or skygo Scott. Yeah, I guess Chicago Sky
is like Chicago Skyline? Is that is that?
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Why?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah? Yeah, Phoenix Mercury because the thermometer and the mercury, right,
that's where we get.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
The Phoenix Mercury makes sense.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yes, Washington mystics, I don't know I'm not sure that one.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Huh, Wizards to play off the Wizards.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Play off the Misards, right, yeah, okay, l A Sparks
What is that about anyways? Don't know that one's a
weird one.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Maybe because they play in the summer and fourth of
July you use those sparks.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Reach, Stretch, Armstrong Reach Dallas Wings do they play by
the airport? Wings? Was a good show.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
It was good, but it wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, it wasn't great. I said good, I did overseell.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
It right, solid show.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
TV.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Hold on, hold on, I'd like to retract. I'd like
to retract. I'm gonna go with Dan solid solid Uh
Seattle Storm. Yeah, you got the alliteration. Plus it rains
there all the time. Atlanta Dream? Does anybody know I'd
landa dream? Is that?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Is that a play on m m ok yep, I
have a dream? Yeah? That makes sense?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But why Atlanta?
Speaker 8 (24:02):
I think a lot of his work was done in
the state of Georgia and in the city of Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Las Vegas Aces makes sense, Phoenix, Mercury, Okay, Minnesota.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Lynx, Bobcats up there, you know are in Minnesota, I
would assume, so.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Okay, Connecticut, Sun. That's because they playing the Mohegan Son.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
That's kind of a weird one. Huh, that's kind of
a weird one, just because that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
They play in the Mohegan Sun. That's what they got
it from.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And to me, I think I think the Fever should
do the exact same thing. They need to put their
nickname up for sale. I guarantees a major sponsor will
buy that more revenue.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I have a couple of suggestions. Go for popcorn, you know,
I get your popcorn ready? Orville Reddenbacker came from Indiana.
I love that. Yes, get your popcorn right?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Okay, give me another one.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Uh, Princess of Wales.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna skip that one.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Indiana, Princess of Wales. Anybody, anyone.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's just too many memories.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Yes, Nicole, what about Nicole Smith?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Anna, Nicole Smith, Indiana Nicole Smith. That's great, that's good anymore.
You made Sam laugh and not talk. So well done
by you.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But Fever makes me think of night sweats.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, I think it should be Indiana Basketball Fever.
That would be cool, Like like the Knicks are the
New York Knickerbockers, right, But they're called the New York
Nicks Indiana Basketball Fever. They go by the fever. I
love that, and then you could have then you can
have sweat. Should say Indiana basketball Fever, right, and then
the fever is the logo. But Indiana Fever just makes
me think of COVID really.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And the only thing contagious what the fever is losing losing.

Don't call Malcome in this Snug Gallep show. It's Fox
Sports Radio. We got Game two tonight and uh should
be should be kind of interesting, you know, especially considering
we're just trying to figure out how much carry over
there is from game one to game you know, from
Game one on that that's really what it is, and
(26:50):
it's you know, it's one of those things where the
one that got away and we I could, I could
sit here and act like I know that it's gonna
affect the Pacers. I don't. I think it does. I
think it really rears its head when you get late
into a game if it's close. But I don't know
if it affects them for the positive for the negative.
(27:12):
You know, there's an expression I like to credit myself,
but I'll be honest, there's a chance somebody else said it,
but I kind of think I brought it to the table.
It goes like this, you got to feel the pain
before you taste the champagne. You have to go through
the traditional progress of losing before you win. Now that's
(27:34):
usually for a series, for a team, for a level,
to get the NBA Finals, to win a ch NBA championship.
But there is something to in this series that can
the Pacers feel that pain of the game one loss
when they essentially had it won and still taste the
champagne of winning this series? I don't think. I don't
(27:54):
think they can. I think this that was a series
changing loss that could have been a series changing win.
Usually the better team, and the Celtics by all metrics,
are a better team in the regular season. Usually the
better team can struggle game one, but game two they
get their legs. And if this Celtics team gets his
legs in game two, this series is kind of a rap.
(28:15):
But I also don't don't particularly know, don't know because
sometimes some guys get super motivated by it and they're
not in their feelings and they take out that anger
on the opposing team. Or we'll get Mack with Max
Good in a moment.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
There's lots of discussion about the eighteen game NFL season.
I just I got to continue to point out that
one of the most frustrating things in life is when
you have a deal done, signed and delivered and then
somebody goes man, that deal that I agreed to stinks, Okay,
(28:55):
so you can process that by your next deal, not
making that mistake. But you hear former NFL players in
some current ones talking about eighteen games. This is just
lining the pocket, the pockets of the owners, Like we do,
realize that the contracts of players are spiking up, spiking up,
and they're doing so because there's more revenue, and they're
(29:15):
more revenue because there's more games. There's more games because
they mutually agreed in a collective barding agreement to play
more games. It's not I have little sympathy. I have
zero sympathy for NFL players playing eighteen games. Zero. And
(29:37):
I have zero sympathy for the idea of lifetime healthcare
insurance for former players. One ridiculously expensive and two unless
the NFLPA is willing to sit out games when the
con when the contract is over, to get their own way,
what are we doing. You negotiated this deal. It's a
(29:57):
ten year deal, and now you think it's a bad
deal because you negotiated a couple of years ago. That
one doesn't stand up to me.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Hey Dan, Hey, Dan would Yeah? Was your uh? Were
your ears ringing between ten am and noon today? Dan Barr?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Why is that?
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
No, Jason McIntyre was filling in for the herd today
and he had your new partner on the weekends, Carry
Rhodes on the sholf and they had this exchange.
Speaker 11 (30:28):
Dan Byer, great golfer, by the way, is it good? Excellent?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (30:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
One golf all day last Sunday. Okay, I get it now,
I get it.
Speaker 11 (30:37):
Dan Byer Great Golfer by the way, have you loved
maid golf chasing?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Yes, I have went when not the Premiere Network's golf
outing of twenty nineteen, I believe yes. In the the
fall of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Were you great that day?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
We won? Yes, usin the guys from Carshield.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
And buy a Great Golfer by the way.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
It was me J Mack and the two guys from Carshield.
We teamed up and we won the event.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Did J Mack set up the camera so you could
film every stroke?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
There was no camera? H it was. It was a
really fun day. We had a We had a really
good time.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
Didn't buy a Great Golfer by the way.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Ended up providing some good shots for the squad that
brought us home the title that day.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
What's the most rewarding shot in a scramble that you
can provide for your team.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
It's funny because the best shot I ever hit in
a scramble was that day. We actually used my drive
on a par five and we used we hit our
second shots and I thinned one, but thank goodness I
did because it went about twenty yards further rolled up
about a foot from the cup. I was a foot
(31:51):
away from having a two on a par five, so
that the best shot that I've ever hit. That's as
probably as good as it's going to get. It's even
more rare than a hole in one would have been
if it would have went in.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
What do you think of the Scottie Scheffler video.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I can't tell much from it, like there's either just
it's often the distance of where this incident took place.
I don't know what's going to happen. The mayor even
spoke again today, but the charges still stand. I have
a feeling it's going to go away at some point.
I think the last thing that the Louisville Police Department
(32:28):
wants is this to continue to be in the news,
which you know we talked yesterday and why they would
hold the press conference. And I don't know if we
were both right or both wrong, Doug, but I thought
that they had some maybe gotcha video to prove like
this is our this is our guy. All they did
was say, our guy didn't turn on his body cam.
(32:49):
We have punished him for that, and here's video that
you really can't tell what's going on. That's that's what
today was.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I think what they were trying to do is be
completely transparent, and an effort to be completely transparent, they
came across as like, I don't you kind of wasted
my time?
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Yes, that's how I felt about it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Like great, thank you for sharing. Uh, Now I still
I know less and less now. I watched a video
like five six times. You know me, I'm a I
like watching video. I was hoping for something. I'm like,
am I missing something? Is there something here that that
that isn't aha? And the answer is no, it was
a noha instead of an aha. That was a terrible
(33:35):
dad joke. That's what that was. It's a dog Gotleeb
show here on Fox Sports. Trady, let's welcome in.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
He's the man, he's the myth, he's the legend. He's
Max Good, long time college head coach, assistant coach, legend
in the prep school circuit. And he joins us on
the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Max, how
are you?
Speaker 10 (33:56):
I'm going fine? Doug?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
You doing I'm good? Do you have any players for me?
That's the that's the first thing I need to know.
Do you have any players for me?
Speaker 10 (34:04):
Well, Cooper Flyg I know really well and his family
there are awesome people. But he's already going to do.
But I was just gonna say, instead of you being
on the radio show, you my ought to be out recruiting.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Well, it can't be out recruiting. It's a dead period
right now, Max, But I appreciate that. But we but
we can, we can. We can be on the we
can be on the iPads and we can be on
the phones. We can be on the zooms, which I
which which I have been all day. Max, Good Jenny
us here on on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Max, What
what went so wrong for the Celtics to put themselves
in that position where they had to come back to
(34:40):
the night.
Speaker 10 (34:42):
Well, first of all, I think the Patiers have got
a nice team, and uh, they've got a kid that
Aaron Nasmith was drafted by the Celtics in the first
round and he's had a chip on his shoulder because
they got rid of him to get brogged. And now
Brogden isn't even with them, and he is an elite
(35:03):
defender and he really was getting after Tatum the other night.
And but you know, all these guys can play. There
aren't bad players in the NBA. Some are obviously better
than others, and there's a league. One of the Morris
twins hadn't even played hardly for a month, and the
(35:24):
other night he went for thirty in the game. You know,
not the other night, but recently. You know, there's good
players everywhere. But I think the Patients have got a
really nice team, and they play fast and they're hard
to guard. They're relentless. But having said that, I think
(35:45):
the Celtics probably would be health to they had or
zingas obviously, but injuries have been you know, they've been
the beneficiary of Celtics have almost every team they've played
leading up to this have had some major injuries. So
it all comes out in the wash.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yep, Doug got the show here on Fox Sports Radio.
The end of the game. Who's to blame for the Pacers?
Speaker 10 (36:10):
Well, I don't like the point blame, but you know,
they got a rookie, I believe he's a rookie, took
the ball outside, and you know, I don't think if
the Pacers did a good job creating the lead to
get open. You know, I think even if the sie
alchem had caught that ball. He might have walked, or
he might have gone, you know, kept going out of
(36:31):
bounce even if he was able to unless he took
what jump stopped and he was going so fast, he
might have walked anyway. But you know, there were what
fifty two minutes and fifty eight seconds before that happened
for other thing. You know, there are other things that
happened along the game. But people always want to play
the blame game or the you know on one side
(36:53):
and the hero game on the other. But you know,
at the end of the year, you probably have five
or six games it's you shouldn't have won, and you've
lost five or six that's you shouldn't have lost. Just
unfortunate that have happened in the in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Do you think the Pacers can shake off a loss
where they probably thought they had the game one in
order to and compete tonight, because you know how that
is max win. Like you have a game if you
feel like it's one right, ten seconds ago, three point lead,
good free throw, shoot, get the ball, then get fouled,
make two free throws, let's get out of here. You know,
(37:31):
but you lose that game. How hard is that to
come back from.
Speaker 10 (37:37):
I don't know. I remember two or three years ago
Marcus Smart, who was one of my favorite players and
still is, although I think Drew Holiday is you know,
the is probably as good, if not a little better player,
and he's got beautiful countinence. You know, he never gets flustered,
he never shows frustration. He just plays. But it's gotta
(38:03):
be hard. But they got to dismiss it someone way
or another. They're gonna have to. I think they're capable
of beating Boston, though I surely do. I just I'm
not sold on the Boston, you know. I think offensively,
there's too much I so too much one on one
and it's Tatum and Brown. They're both very capable players. Obviously,
(38:27):
Brown shot may eventually go down in the animals is
one of the biggest shots in Celtic's history, the shot
he made the other night. But I don't know. I
just hope it's a good game. I hope it's a
good game.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Okay, But you take me into Rick Carlisle's coaches locker room.
How do you get guys to not think about concern
themselves with the collapse the other night?
Speaker 10 (38:54):
Well, you know, I don't know that might be a
tough sell, but I think they really like land for him.
They like the freedom he's giving them, they like the
pace they're playing with. And you know, you look at
the plays that Holiday didn't want. Halliburton. I think Halliburton
came out the next day and said Holiday is the
(39:15):
best defender in the NBA. Now I'm sure he means
in regard to guarding him, but you know, yourw Holidays
a handful. He's strong, and he's smart, and you know
he doesn't he just makes winning plays. And I think,
you know, they're professionals. They're professionals. I think they'll bounce back.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I think they will, but I don't know they will.
You know, I think they will, but I don't know
they will.
Speaker 10 (39:46):
Nobody knows they will. And of course the Celtics keep
wandering about Porzingis, and I think, to be honest with you,
of the Celtics, you know, Pacers did a great job
at and Horford. And I love Horford. He just had
a game recently with like twenty three points and fifteen
(40:07):
rebounds in the playoffs. But you know, the Pacers really
made sure that on switches they got to him. And
the Celtics are playing all drop defense and they were
giving up the foul line jumps up shiockem. Really he
doesn't miss many of.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Those, No, no, he doesn't. Stug got show here on
Fox Sports Trader. That's the voice of Max Good, long
time college head coach and of course college assistant and
prep school coach. Just a legend in the basketball professional
Joinges to the Doug Gottlieb Show live atthetyraq dot com studios.
Would would you be okay with saying that if Larry
(40:47):
Bird came out today, he would have a lot of
There would be some attributes which are similar to Luca
you know. Now, look, Bird was not a point guard
Luca is, but in this era you'd probably handle the ball.
But the point is that what Bird had was the
(41:08):
ability to get by you without you know, just being
a blur and to always get a shot off and
always be creative. And I think that's what Luca is.
Is that a fair parallel anyway?
Speaker 10 (41:19):
I think so Bird is. It's like pat Riley said,
he said, if I have to win the game, I
want Jordan take the shot. If I want somebody to
shoot to save my life, it's going to be Larry Bird.
I think Larry Bird would be better in today's game
than he was when he played, because he'd, you know,
(41:42):
hid it kill the three point shot today? That's why
it's JJ Reddick saying that stuff about Bird is kind
of it's absurd, really, Larry Bird. I think I would
take Bird over Lebron, and I think it's not it's foolish.
Steven compare Jordan to Lebron. Jordan is so much better
(42:03):
and so much more competitive Tiger Woods and Tiger Woods
and Jordan are probably the two most competitive athletes, said,
I'm aware of, but Bird would be awesome today in
today's game.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I agree.
Speaker 10 (42:21):
I agree you ten speed speed. Luca Stacy Augman is
one of my very best friends. I have the most
admiration in the world. What an honest, hard knows guy
he is. And I asked him once, I said, coach,
how good is John Morant? He said, Coach, he's good.
He's got a chance to be really good. This was
(42:44):
a couple of years ago. I called him about two
weeks later and I said, how good is he as
good as Luca? He said, bail No, he said Luca Lucas.
He said, coach, he isn't killer, you know in his
own way. He is so dark competitive, and I said, well,
(43:07):
I know he's not tremendously fast. He said, Coach, he
doesn't have to be. He gets even with you here, beat.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
He doesn't put shit by you.
Speaker 10 (43:15):
If he gets even with you. He is so strong
and is so knowledgeable. And and you know he's been
playing important basketball, I mean pressure pack basketball since he's
probably thirteen or fourteen. I think Luka donnots is. You know,
he'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer and he
may end up being one of the five or ten
(43:36):
best players ever played the game.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Wow Max Max goods our guest here on the Doug
Gatlib Show on Fox Sports Radio. Conversely, Anthony Edwards not
really efficientcym to struggle some last night to really explode.
What's your take on the amp Man?
Speaker 10 (43:51):
Well, I really like him. I think he's a great
two way player. But I think people are getting way,
way way ahead of themselves saying he's the next Michael Jordan.
I don't think there'll ever be another Michael Jordan. Ever,
I really don't. And I thought there'd never be another Joker,
and then who's the guy that plays for Houston. He's
(44:14):
got a similar type game. He's a post players.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
That pronounced or whatever. But yeah, he's the Turkish player.
Speaker 10 (44:26):
Yeah, he's got a similar style of the game. But
I just don't think Michael Jordan is so competitive and
he's psychotic and he's a sociopath. I mean, I talked
to Tom Kinsalski about him, and he said he came
up to five star camp. He said he was they
were doing drills and he was the nicest kid in
(44:48):
the world. When they were doing drills. The first day
they played, on the opening tip, he hit the guy
next to him in the throat with an elbow and
rendered him useless for vote. Two more days after that,
he he said, he is just so so, so so competitive,
and you know he's he's he was fearless. I think
Jordan is firing away the best player that ever played,
(45:10):
and I don't. I think I think birds are as
good as well.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Wrong, Prime, Prime Bird, Prime Bird. I would agree with you,
you know, I would absolutely agree with you, Prime Bird. Obviously,
the difference is that the longevity of time which Lebron
has played. Uh, coach, thanks so much, coach, thanks so
much for join us. I can't get on the road
recruiting right now. But you can so go bring me
(45:36):
back some players, would you?
Speaker 10 (45:39):
Okay, Hey, you've got my number, could you call me?
I wanted to talk to you about something on another
issue ironically.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Okay, have you have?
Speaker 10 (45:49):
You got your whole staff? And this isn't for.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
About me, coach, coach, I do not and I will
call you.
Speaker 10 (45:59):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
You're my guy. That's Max good. He's the best. Who
doesn't love who doesn't who doesn't love him? When he's
hit me up to try and try and help him
with my staffing. Here live on National Radio.
