Speaker 2 (00:04):

Dan Patrick show seat and update the poll results. Please,
I'd be happy to day. Okay, we've got two of
them going right now. Blaming the refs in basketball is
(00:46):
dot dot dot smart strategy to get calls later in
the series.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Or blame.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Okay, you want to take a guess which one of
those is currently leading right now?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Blame yes.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Seventy eight end of the audience say it is super
lame to blame the refs in basketball.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, you can't spell blame without L A M. I
don't know what that means, but just came's.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Got a blame l E b r L and me Lebron,
le blame Lebron lame?
Speaker 6 (01:21):
How do we.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Get blame leblarnow? Okay, here's uh Lebron toron blames.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Here.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Here is Lebron talking about replace center after the loss
last night.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I don't understand what's going on in replay center. To
be honest, I said it. I think I said it
this year, last year. Whatever Delo clearly gets hitting a
face on a drive. Do we have a replay center?
This is going to go? That doesn't It doesn't make
sense to me, makes no sense to me. It bothers me.
Sorry to ask your question.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
But that is like.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
And then I just saw what happened with the uh
sixers nickname too.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
What how are we doing well?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Down twenty the Nuggets beat the Lakers at the buzzer
and a wild final twenty seven seconds as the Knicks
go up two to oh in the seventy six ers.
You got Suns, Timberwolves, Pacers, Bucks, Mavericks and the Clippers
coming up tonight. By the way, Saturday, the Premier League
continues on NBC in Peacock the Battle of Survival. It's
(02:24):
Everton looking to stay above relegation as they take on Brentford,
NBC and PEACONK All right, are we changing up our
pole question for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well, we also had up there team down two most
likely to make a comeback. Your options are the Magic,
the Lakers, and the Sixers. Right now at sixty six
percent of the both the Sixers running away with that one.
Lakers are still in last place.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay, yeah, they've played well, but then they've also played poorly.
Like you can't say, boy, they played well last night
and then you blow a twenty point lead. They played
well enough to get a twenty point lead, and then
they played poorly enough to have that evaporate. And here
is how it sounded, with Jamal Murray with the ball
in his hands, dunting at the time out.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Real time.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Don't call it tie ball game.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Worst can happen?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
We go all the time, Murley, make some moms, Kevin Harlan,
Reggie Miller on the call.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
They didn't call a time out. They knew what play
they wanted to run, which you know great teams have
that you already know. All right, this is the situation,
this is what we're going to do. And you could
see Joker news going to be a pick and roll,
probably going to have a d switch out on him.
And was there going to be enough time if Jamal
had to throw it back to Joker to try to
(03:53):
get a shot off. Probably not. You know, they were
going to live and die by that shot because the
game was tied. If the game wasn't tied, I wonder
if they would have taken that shot if they were
down one, would they have somehow got it to Joker
and that he would have I mean, he's not always
the go to guy, but then he's just as dangerous
being a passer, you know. You know Lebron is like
(04:15):
that as well. You know that Lebron can find the
open man, but he's also not afraid to take the shot.
His shot selections, though, are questionable at times, Like there
are times Lebron thinks he's Steph Curry and I'm going
to pull up from three because people don't think I'm
a great He's not a great shooter. Imagine being the
all time leading scorer and you're not a great shooter
(04:36):
because he's not. He's streaky and he'll get on a roll,
but he's never going to be confused with Klay Thompson.
He did have a play last night where he dunked,
he got a steal and then went the distance and
then dunked and it was like, all right, he still
got it. But it does feel like, certainly in Denver,
(04:57):
that you can see when Lebron does like he's thirty nine.
Most of the time he does it, but there are
times when you go, he's gassed, he's winded, and understandably
so you're asking him to play a lot of minutes,
ad a lot of minutes because Denver's going to play
their stars a lot of minutes. Last night, Joker once
(05:20):
again putting up historical numbers twenty seven to twenty and
ten that's been turned in by three other players in
NBA history have put up those numbers in the postseason.
Wilt did it twice, Dave Cowens with the Celtics, and
then Kareem did it once. I mean, these are incredible numbers,
but you can watch and you almost they need to
(05:41):
tell you what his stats are sometimes because you'll go
that seems like he's got a few assists, always got
ten or rebounds now a lot of offensive rebounds, a
lot of offense, you know, and that's effort. You know,
offensive rebounding is effort. Defense is usually just position. Know,
they take the shot, you're underneath the hoop, you get
(06:02):
the rebound. Offensive rebounding that takes effort, and then you
put up, you know, once again, twenty seven points. But
he can do it in a way where you go wow,
like Scotty Scheffler esque, Oh wow, yeah, rare air there, yeah,
where you're going, Wow, he's got some pretty good numbers there.
(06:22):
Where do those numbers stack up? Who else has done
that in NBA history?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Wilt Kareem and then Dave Cowens did it once. Yes, Pauline,
I found a weird stat, but this is confirmed. Players
who played twenty or more seasons in the NBA, how
many dunks did they have in their twentieth season? Lebron
has over sixty dunks this year in counting the last
day check it was over sixty. Who is second all
time dunks in a season in their twentieth season? It's
(06:50):
an obvious name. He played a long time, had kind
of two career seaton.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh, Vince Carter.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Vince Carter's correct Woh, Kobe Bryant had five dunks in
year twenty What about Kareem. I don't have Cream on
the list. Now, that might be one of those since
the nineties, because a lot of stats are since ninety six.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But Kareem played twenty years. Yes, Robert Parrish played twenty years.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
I got Kevin Willis with seven dunks. Kevin Garnetta had
three in season twenty okay, you donnas has them. Unfortunately
had zero dunks.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
No, there a.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Minutes fifty five hours until the NFL Draft. Oh, synchronize
our watchers.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Fifty five We got fifty five hours.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're waiting for something to happen. Is there gonna be drama?
PAULI has an NFL draft theory. You guys can chew
this up if you like theory.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I saw a lot of reports that a lot of
people think that Arizona, who has the fourth pick, will
trade down.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Okay, then they could.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
Get a receiver or whatever it may be, and that's
the spot that everyone's got to trade up. I think
that the New England Patriots are waiting to see what
Arizona does with that fourth pick and they want to
trade out. So someone's going to trade up with Arizona,
such as Minnesota, Denver, Vegas Giants, and Once the New
England Patriots have that information what the prices, they're going
(08:15):
to trade with the other team. So the first trade
will be someone will trade up for the fourth pick
with Arizona. And right after that, the New Yank Patriots
will trade out knowing the price, and they'll aast for more.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Why don't I just trade up with the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
People will try, but the Patriots will hold because then
they they will now have leverage if Arizona trades out.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, what if they wait too long, then I will
and they're stuck with the pick that would be. And
then poor Drake May, who joins this tomorrow, has to
go to New England and.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Play for that team. He would love to play there. No,
he wouldn't. He's going to say that he would love to,
and I.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Don't you know.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Once again, that's when a team can be to your debt,
to your growth in New England.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Might be that the Jets were that.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
To Zach Wilson, I still never understood that, even with
the Jets mess at quarterbacking. And then I look at
the Cleveland Browns. Could you make the argument Cleveland and
the Jets are probably equally talented, like they're really good defense,
got some skilled position guys. Cleveland lost their running back
(09:25):
and lost their quarterback, and then they get Joe Flacco
and they go to the playoffs. Like the Jets to me,
were poorly coached. That yes, you lost Aaron Rodgers, but
then you weren't ready just in case a quarterback who's
going to be thirty nine years of age gets hurt.
And then you got Zach Wilson, who you don't even
want to play. And then you have Tim Boyle, who
(09:47):
is basically Aaron Rodgers buddy. If they would have had
a respectable like Gardner Minshew, like the Jets had, the talent,
defense is good, had a running you got a really
good wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I just think they were poorly coached. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
More, have you ever been around a team where one
side of the ball hated the other because they weren't
performing like they should have.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
The Ravens, Yeah, the Ravens had a real problem their
defense with their offense. And I remember Ray Lewis was
telling me this. He said, I remember just saying to Trent,
just get his ten points, all right, just score ten points.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
We'll take care of that.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
The problem was they did don't give you ten point.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's all they gave them to be like, here's ten.
Hope you're happy, all right, we'll hold him to seven.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Yeah, Paul, you're right, though, the Browns won eleven games
this year, and mostly because what they did with Flacco.
They didn't just sit and wait and give up on
the season. The Jets won seven games basically without a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yes, I mean it's inexcusable, it's malpracticed.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Though.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I thought Robert Sala did a poor job, and you know,
and then he's there's leaks in the organization and they
want to find them.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I mean, it was a mess, really was a mess.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Rogers. Aaron Rodgers as a GM did a poor job.
Robert solid as a head coach did a poor job,
and they should have been a playoff team, or they
should have been a ten to eleven win team. If
Joe Flacco is the difference. I that says a lot
about coaching. And Kevin Stefanski did a great job, and
the Jets could have had Joe Flacco. I think that's
(11:22):
where he wanted to go, but that is sort of
lost in all the Aaron Rodgers drama. It was just
poorly coached team. Yeah, I'm Marv sorry.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Going back to the Ravens, they lost three straight games.
They lost to the then the Redskins ten to three.
They lost to the Titans fourteen to six, and he
lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers nine to six.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You could see why they were a little frosty, little frosty.
Andrew in Vegas joins us, Hey, Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (11:54):
DP five ten, one fifty. I may have heard this wrong,
but did Mannick say joker over bird then throw his.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Head into host?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, somebody needs to.
Speaker 11 (12:09):
Take the hat and then just throw it right back
at him.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
All right, thank you, Andrew. Yeah, Chris Mannis threw his
name in the hat to be my successor. I've had
two people reach out that I think people would be
interested in. But once again I've said this, I don't
know what the dan nuts are going to do when
I retire. I don't know what they want to do.
(12:35):
And then I would say to these guys, who do
you want to work for? And then what if to
say they'd like to work for that person, and two
for that person? Then I got to come in and
cast the vote. That's not fair. So this might be
I put you guys in a jury room and you
guys are not coming out until we have a verdict.
You're going to be sequestered.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yes, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I just, I guess mistakenly assumed that has some autonomy
over my future wants to show.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You do, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You can walk away if you want, but if you stay,
then you guys would have to vote on who you
would want as a successor, right right, So you do
have autonomy over yourself if you want to walk away.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Or do they have to buy a building and stuff tour?
Is it just in this one?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And then you like all Lisa, I won't make you guys,
that's a good idea a different place. So if somebody
comes in and Ross Tucker wants to come here and
you know, be the host everything, then it'll it'll be
I've got my garage, it'll be here that whoever would
come in would have to come in here.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, Mar would you.
Speaker 10 (13:42):
Call it the Dan Patrick Show featuring Ross Tucker, Tyler.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Perry, Yes, yeah, I would, it'd because it'd be Dan
Patrick's Ross Tucker Show.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, Ruth's Chris, Yeah, The Dan Patrick Show featuring Ross
Tucker and the Dan nuts and their tuckers.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
H Hyler, Perry, Paul.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
In Florida, high ball idea in that stituation, then media,
that'd be Todd.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
It's going to be you hosting Dan. You're just going
to be dressed up as a cat. You know it's
not I'll be dressed up as a woman. Paul in Florida,
Good morning, Paul. How can we help you?
Speaker 12 (14:21):
Hey, Dan?
Speaker 13 (14:21):
Get into your best teams ever? Surprised nobody hit on
the Miami Hurricane football program eighties and nineties, fifty eight
straight home victories, which was gonna be a while before
somebody even touches it. I think Georgia is currently at
twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Well, we were talking basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
There's a thirty for thirty documentary on the U, so
I don't think they're forgotten. There's two documentaries on the U,
so there nobody forgot about Miami that we were talking
basketball teams, college basketball in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
TJ and Charlotte. Hey, TJ, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Hey Dan? I know this is a group of guys
that likes to laugh at others teams. So I have
a funny story from last night. I had a fifteen
leg parlay and the first four The first fourteen had
already hit, and this would pay out thirty thousand dollars.
The last leg is for Austin Reeves to hit over
(15:25):
one and a half threes. He gets one in the
third quarter, and then in the fourth quarter, it's about
a minute fifty to go. He gets a wide open
look and when he shoots it, I swear the ball
stays in the air for about four hours before it
clangs off the back of the room and I lose
my parlay right there. And I was hoping Jamal Murray
(15:46):
miss so I got five extra minutes, but of course
he didn't watch that happened.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, congratulations on the fourteen that did hit. If it's
just the final one that didn't, lost thirty.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And that's a pretty safe one to take.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Austin Reeves over one and a half threes, that's not
that's not crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I don't how many games did he have of two
made three pointers this year?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I don't know, but I know if I saw that number,
I'd be like, take it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, why not? Well, I mean, what do you go
what if he stopped at thirteen? Why do you got
to go to the fourteenth?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I don't know, because that's that's why when you do parlays,
the odds are stacked against you.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We love parlays, so does Vegas. Yes, yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Austin Reeves for the Lakers average one point nine threes.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Made again this year. Okay, but that's not two. However,
it is over one and a half.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
In the playoffs, he's outing one point five threes made.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You're right, it's not. It's over one and a half,
but it's still not two. Last night he had one
point nine. He had one nine threes. Yes, all right,
let me take a break. Good buddy, Chris Haynes. He
was on the sidelines. He was the court side reporter
NBA on TNT at the Garden last night. We'll get
his thoughts on that back after this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 14 (17:23):
Hey, what's up everybody? It's me three time pro bowler
LeVar Arrington, and I couldn't be more excited to announce
a podcast called Up on Game? What is up on Game?
You asked, along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman,
Zada and Super Bowl Champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
(17:45):
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Hutchman, Zada,
and Plexico Burrs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or
wherever how you get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
From if you miss last Hour. We had Chris mannigs on.
He covers the NBA for Sports Illustrated and I said,
is the Joker already above Karl Malone on the all
time list? And he said yes, and then throw out
some other names, and then I said, what about surpassing
(18:22):
Larry Bird? And he said yes, and I went, uh oh,
that could be blasphemous. Chris mannis, but you know, with
three MVPs, if he would happen to win another title. Now,
all of a sudden, you start to go into a
whole different category. There to be continued there. Chris Haynes
was on the sidelines. I saw him last night, all
(18:44):
decked down, Bleacher Report, NBA Insider, court side reporter. He
was there at the garden and got a chance to
witness it all. Listen to it all. Give me what
the environment was like with a minute to go in
the garden, Chris.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Thanks for having me on DP. It was an incredible experience.
Speaker 15 (19:04):
That was my first Nick playoff game working as a
Sidelum reporter, so I was very interested in seeing how
that turnout was going to shape out.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
But it was incredible.
Speaker 15 (19:15):
But that last minute my seat, I have a seat
directly behind the Sixers, bitch, and a minute left into
that game, you know, you're just seeing the Sixers. They're
they're you know, they're pounding their chests, they're they're excited.
They believe they got this game. They believe they're about
to finish this game. And you know it was the fans.
(19:38):
They were they were down in somber. It looked like
we were going back to Philadelphia on one in one
and then it happened.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
And when I say.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
It, a lot happened, I mean it was it just
turned that place upside down. They're look, I know the call,
the controversial non call holding of Tyrese Maxi and the
Sixers have asked the league to review that. They founded,
(20:08):
you know, found a complaint on that. I don't think
anything is going to come of that. But with that
being said, take that away. The Knicks crash the boards
off his rebounds. Uh dove on the ball, I mean
dove on the floor to get the ball.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
They wanted it. They they really wanted it.
Speaker 15 (20:26):
And that's the thing when I look at this, when
when I look at this matchup, I believe talent wise,
I believe Philadelphia has the better team talent wise. But
the Knicks they got some dogs. They got some dogs
over there. Josh hart Hartn's thing. Uh Dante difference, I
can't I don't want to mess with his name. Different
(20:49):
will always have a hard time saying that, I only
stay with Dante. They got some dogs over there, and
so I think ultimately that's what's that's what's putting them
in favor and putting them ahead as of right.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Now, should be favored.
Speaker 15 (21:00):
Now you gotta you gotta stay the Knicks. I mean
they took they took care of home court advantage. This
is my if I'm a Sixers fan, my concern going
into Game three is that.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
They might not be over Game two, just the way
that it ended and the complaints that they have valid complaints.
Valid complaints.
Speaker 15 (21:26):
You can obviously see Jalen Brunson kind of pulled that
Tyrese Maxi's jersey.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Valid complaints.
Speaker 15 (21:33):
But you know, there's a time where you have to
kind of move on and you can't let that settle in.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
And I'm not saying that's the case, but you.
Speaker 15 (21:44):
Could see a scenario play out in which Game two
might have been the game that broke the series down.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I don't know Philly still has.
Speaker 15 (21:54):
You know, they got home court now for the next
two days, two games, I should say, but that that
was a brutal loss for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Why didn't Philly take a timeout?
Speaker 15 (22:02):
Well, Nick Nurse was actually calling the timeout. The ref
looked like he didn't see him or he ignored them.
So you could see on the sideline Nick Nurse trying
to get the ref's attention, but also Kyle Lowry, who's
inbounded that ball. He could have they would have seen
him if he would have called a timeout, you know.
So I think it was a situation where the ref
(22:24):
was they were looking at the players, and it's that
environment was loud like DP. It was one of the
better playoff environments I've been in in a long time,
so it was loud, so I can I guess I
can see that the ref probably didn't hear Nick Nurse
on the sideline trying to call a timeout, but they
would have saw the players. If Kyle Lowry would have
signal for a time out, I think they would have
(22:46):
got it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, but I'm looking at it right now. It's like
Nick Nurse wants to call the timeout. He hesitates a
little bit there, and then the ball is loose, so
you can't call that timeout if the ball is loose.
So I think he missed the op opportunity to call
the time out.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 15 (23:03):
And also like Kyle Lowry, you know he'll being a veteran,
being a champion like he, I believe he knows they
still have a time out left, like he has to.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
He has to feel it, you know, he has a tick.
You know, he has a ticking clock in his head.
Speaker 15 (23:18):
He understands, you know, it's about to be close to
being a five second call, like he has to. He
has to know understand the time as well. So I
don't know what happened right there. Maybe the players didn't
know they had a time out. I don't know, but
that was an unfortunate situation.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He's Chris Haynes NBA on TNT Courtside Reporter. Next up,
he'll have the heat in the Celtics series for the
next three games. Also check out his basketball podcast with
Mark Stein hashtag This League Uncut. We had Chris Mannis
on last hour and we were talking about Joker. You
get three MVPs in four years, you get a title,
(23:53):
and at what point does he start to get into
the conversation of all time greats? Not a top ten, certainly,
not yet. But is Joker in that top twenty player
category all time? Let's say top top twenty in your opinion.
Speaker 15 (24:11):
Top twenty. Look, I will say this, and I'm gonna
ask you a question. I'm not gonna dip from it, Okay,
but I heard, you know, I heard Manics say that
he's already better than Karl Malone.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Yeah, right, would you say Carl Malone is top ten,
top fifteen.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
He's not top ten, maybe top fifteen, maybe top fifteen.
Speaker 15 (24:34):
Okay, So I think talent wise, Joker is a top ten,
maybe even hmm, maybe even top eight seven. I don't
maybe talent wise, but as far as we're talking career,
you know, That's where like I kind of I'm a
little bit hesitant on the malone because I know the
championships in the MVP, I get that, but it's the longevity.
(24:57):
It's still something to be said about, you know, having
longevity in this league. But with that being said, top twenty, yeah,
I would put him in the top twenty right now,
top ten. I want to see more. I want to
see more because you know, it's like I used to
make this, you know, when Bo Jackson was playing, probably
(25:17):
you know, people at the time were saying he was
arguably the best running back ever just in that timeframe,
in that window that he had, and you can still
make the case like pound for pound, you know, arguably
being the best or one of the best running backs period,
but he didn't have that longevity. So with Joker, that's
you know, I want to see more time and window.
But talent wise, we're talking just talent. Talent wise, he's.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Among the greats.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Is it a good thing that the best players in
the game are from other countries?
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I don't think it's a bad thing. I Mean, this
is what David Stern wanted.
Speaker 15 (25:52):
He wanted the NBA to branch out and to become
a global game, and it has. The world has caught up,
and I think it's good to have different styles of
basketball and different people of different countries and races ethnicity
representing this game.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
So I don't I don't see it as a bad
thing at all.
Speaker 15 (26:09):
And I think if you're an American, if we're complaining
about it, we'll just put you, put your work in
and get out there and try to take them down.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
But I would love to see the US versus the
world at the All Star Game. I do think that
might have a little more country pride and you know,
then maybe there's a little bit more to it. I mean,
we're at the point now where there's not many other
options to dress this up and make it seem like
(26:40):
it's an actual game.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Okay, let me say this, DP, you may ask you.
This sounds cool, sounds sounds like a good idea. I've
heard it before. But the world does the world have
fifteen twelve to fifteen European All Stars? Legitimate All Stars?
Are we at that stage yet?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Well? They get Canada too?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Still are we at that stage?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Well? I know I've got the honest joker.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
You can't you can't consider MB on the world team anymore.
He's playing for the US national team. So you got
the joker Yannis. Uh shake Jose Alexander when by Yamama?
Uh let me see.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, Laurie Marknen, now you grasping now, Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
All I know is I like my starting five better
than you're starting five.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Okay, Okay, Well, I think I think the US has to.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Beth Uh, Chris tops porzingis.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
You still.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Rudy, Rudy Gobert, Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
You throw Rudy in there, you throw in there.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But you know, Josh, all right, before I let you go,
you're running the Warriors. What do you do in the
off season.
Speaker 15 (28:10):
I'm checking in with Clay to see what his asking
price is to stay. It's a reasonable price. You bring
him back. I think that's the fair move. My concern
would be that Clay may feel that he can get
more on the open market.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
But with that being said, uh, you gotta check with Steph.
Speaker 15 (28:35):
If Steph wants the team back in place, you gotta
kind of run with that. But you also have to
bring in more younger guys. And I think they did
a good job of incorporating cominga and you know, they
had the big man. The big man came through at
the center spot, gave him a just an aerial threat.
(28:57):
And then you have Brandon Vezinski, defensive guy hard. Those
guys a doll. So they did a good job and
incorporating some young guys. But I still think ultimately you
got to check in with Steph to some of what
he wants. If he feels like you want to bring
those three back, excuse me, Draymond and Klay Thompson back,
I think you kind of kind of you gotta lean
that way. But with Clay, you definitely have to figure
(29:19):
out the pricing situation.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, would you ask Steph if he would like to
play elsewhere?
Speaker 15 (29:27):
I don't even think I asked that Q. I can't
ask that question. I can't ask him that question. The
reason I can't why I can't ask him that question
because I think he would think that you guys are
thinking about let me go now.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I know I would just say, out of respect for
you winning a championship, if you feel like you can
win a championship here, then you know we can bring
everybody back. But if if it's important to you with
everything you've done for this franchise, if it's important to
win another championship and you feel like you have a
better chance else where, then we would try to accommodate that.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
This is why I say I wouldn't.
Speaker 15 (30:05):
I wouldn't ask him that question because there are three
players that I've known that I've covered. I won't name,
but I've covered them throughout their career. Management propose that
question or ask that question, ask them that question, and
they took it as management or ownership is starting to
look in a different direction, and they took it as.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
A site all right.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
So that's the reason why I said I wouldn't ask
them that question. I think for a player of that caliber,
if that player is still now, I think you could
ask that question. If you know the star player is
on a downhill and even like, you know what, we'll
keep because of what you've done for this organization, but
you know, are you you know, are you willing to
go elsewhere?
Speaker 7 (30:47):
You know? They can take it a different way. But
I would let that player. I would let that player
bring that to the table.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Hey what about Yakadal?
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
The All international team? I got.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
There, you go DP. That was my response.
Speaker 16 (31:11):
That's my thing, because if we want to go to
the world versus the United States. Then you're going to
have some United States players that feel snub because you're
given eight or nine All Star spots to players in
the world who aren't of that caliber yet. So that's
that's the discrepancy, and that's the controversy that I can
(31:31):
see happening.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
How about the.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
No, Okay, we want to we want to have a game.
That's fine, But I'm telling you right now, there's a
lot of players who have to have bonuses. You know,
they make an All Star team, and now you're you're
you're taking away fifteen spots to have the world versus
the United States. So I'm just I'm hey, do it,
do it at your own risk, Adam Silver and Deep.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I do love my starting five though.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Hey that's a good start to find, but it's about dip.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
All I know is I got Joker, I got Luca,
I got one Byana, I got Janis, I got Shay Gilgess.
You can bring whoever you got. We ain't afraid. And
you know what, they're playing the entire game. No bench,
I'm giving you the rest of the roster spots for
(32:29):
the players from the US. I got my five my
five's on the floor.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Epte.
Speaker 15 (32:34):
Good luck trying to convince their respective coaches but letting
him play.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
All don't be a buzz kill. Don't be a buzzkill.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Back in my day, we played every minute. Hey, safe
travels there. Thanks for joining us as always, buddy, Thank
you for having me one of our favorites. Chris Haynes
NBA on TNT Courtside Reporter. He's going to be covering
the Heat and Celtic over the next three games and
is podcast with Mark Stein hashtag this league uncut? All right,
(33:07):
last call for phone calls? What we learn once in
store tomorrow We're going to try to accomplish all of
that next.

(33:33):
Still waiting for one of those bombs to go off.
There's a news element here. Something's gonna happen. It's too quiet.
Don't trust these gms. Chris and Huntington Beach. Good morning, Chris,
how can I help you?
Speaker 17 (33:49):
Good morning dan first time, longtime five So a suggestion
for when you retire. We love you, we love the
dan Attes. We'd love to see the show continue. Instead
of bringing in a new head lead, why not let
each Danette lead the show for a month and then
(34:12):
rotate the next month so each one gets a chance.
We'd love to see it continue.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
All righty, well, thank you, thank you, Chris. I'll take
that under advisement. Being a Danette and being a host
is a little bit different. And I don't know if
anybody has aspirations to host a show for three hours,
five days a week, but I mean it takes like mentally,
(34:38):
there's a lot going on that you have to be
kind of in charge of. And at the end of
the show, I couldn't do four hours. And I even
said to the dan autes last week, let's make this
show two hours. Feels like two hours would be awesome.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
We all seemed very receptive to me.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You did.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, it was more money, less work. To quote Dustin
Johnson going to the live tour. Hey, that's great, less golf,
more money. This day in sports history, Pauline.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Got a couple for you.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
Here Dan in Chicago, Illinois, the first baseball game at
Wrigley Field took place.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Not the Cubs though.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
And let's see Hank Aaron in nineteen fifty four with
the Milwaukee Braves hit his first major league home run.
Here's my favorite. Nineteen sixty four. You remember this guy,
Ken Johnson of the Houston Astros through the first no
hitter for a loss. The game was one zero and
he lost to Cincinnati Reds. He was throwing a no hitter.
They walked Pete Rose. They threw over to keep my
(35:36):
first base error another era, Pete Rose scores. A guy
loses but throws a no hitter.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Did Britt Burns throw a no hitter and lose? White
sonks pitcher? Does that sound right.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Checking? Okay?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Fernando Tattoos on this day hit two grand slams in
one inning, both against Chanaho Park. Ouch And uh, is
it Wegman Field or Wegman Field. It's Wegman that used
to be Wrigley Field w E E G H M
(36:17):
A N. So it's Wegman Field now Wrigley Field. And
that was the first baseball game. Oh, by the way,
Connor McDavid Connor McDavid had five assists last night. That
hasn't happened in a playoff game since nineteen and nineteen
ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Five assists, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
Is Connor McDavid, the joker McDavid of the NHL, where
he's playing his way into the top ten all time.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Man, he's he's as close to Gretzky. I think I
know that Sidney Crosby, you know, people looked at him
as he was the next Gretzky. But Connor McDavid, he's
on great He's on a great pace. Here win some
cups though. Let's see Aerican Oklahoma. Hi, Eric, what's on
(37:09):
your mind today?
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (37:10):
What's Dan? How are you great?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Great?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (37:14):
I was listening earlier about the European or international player debate,
and I was curious for this example. I want to
use soccer and basketball, you know, seeing as two global games.
Why is it when Europeans or international players come over
to play in the NBA they have great success, But
we send American players to European leagues and they're great.
(37:36):
I mean, they're fine, but they're not top of the
world success. Is it the fact that they don't get
professional experience? As early as Europeans do. Wanted to kind
of hear your thoughts on the whole year international VERSUS
American player debate in different sports.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, I think how they're teaching basketball players in a
lot of European foreign countries is you learn the fundamental
that they teach you ball handling. If you're a seven footer,
ball handling, footwork is really important. I think that they're
more skilled at a younger age, or at least they're
(38:12):
at least taught that way to understand the fundamentals of basketball.
A lot of the problems with basketball over here is
aau that you're just out there firing away, and I
think it's probably a little more structured in a lot
of these countries of going to academies and teaching you
how to play basketball, because a lot of these players
who come over are well rounded, and I think that's
(38:36):
probably the difference. It's not like, hey, you're going to
be one dimensional. They want you to be able to
be an all around player. Seeton, why do you think
the US born soccer player maybe doesn't succeed the way
the European players in basketball succeed over here.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Because we don't know how to develop soccer players here mostly,
but I think that they you're brought into a different
environment in Europe and you're taught fundamentals at a very
early age, and you're focused on that. In the United States,
if you're not the biggest, strongest kid, you're thrown off
the team immediately in favor of the bigger, stronger kids
(39:16):
who might be faster, they might be running hard, they
might whatever.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
But saying.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
In soccer, you might have more technical ability with the ball,
meaning you're better at the ball at your feet, you
can move it better. You might just be undersized a
little bit because of development, and here those kids are
usually shown the door in favor of Yeah, but that
kid can run fast. He can't do anything with the
ball at his feet, but at least he's faster.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah, I just go by what I remember Dirk Davitsky
talking to me about this, because he said, you know,
we're taught fundamentals early Luca. When you saw Luca as
a fifteen or sixteen year old, he's playing with grown men,
but it's because he knew how to play basketball fundamentals. Yes, right, Yeah,
So I think they don't say this is position, this
(40:01):
is what you need to learn to do. It's position
less in how they teach you.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
We reward athleticism here much more than just like effort
or work on the ball.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
You know, final results of the poll question. Let me
see here, we got a couple of them.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Here are you which team down zero to two it's
most likely to make a comeback? Sixers still got that one,
and most people believe a large majority this might be
a Lebron bias. Blaming the refs in basketball is super lame.
That's at eighty percent. Yeah, nobody ever credits the referee. Never,
No one goes after the game.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Hey, before we get started, I just want to say
the refs called a great game.
Speaker 7 (40:42):
Nice job.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
That was totally traveling, because if you say it, I'm
sure the other team's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Man, the referees were crappy.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
It feels like they swallowed their whistle though so far
during the NBA playoffs, Todd, would you learn today.
Speaker 9 (40:55):
We got a double bang from Mike Breen or Codunthie's
even gento game win.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Or Leftie loved h see. Yeah, the rare double bang.
It's like a double rainbow in the sky. It's fantastic.
Speaker 10 (41:05):
Marvin Mannics put his name in the hat. Yeah, yes
he did, Paulie.
Speaker 9 (41:09):
It's very hard to unbust yourself.

Thanks for joining us for Fritzy Seat and Marv Paulie,
(41:34):
yours truly in the back room. Guys, we'll talk to
you tomorrow.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Final Hour on this Tuesday show, Dan and the Dan
That's Dan Patrick Show once again tomorrow. In the newsletter

Dan Patrick show seat and update the poll results. Please,
I'd be happy to day. Okay, we've got two of
them going right now. Blaming the refs in basketball is
(00:46):
dot dot dot smart strategy to get calls later in
the series.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Or blame.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Okay, you want to take a guess which one of
those is currently leading right now?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Blame yes.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Seventy eight end of the audience say it is super
lame to blame the refs in basketball.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, you can't spell blame without L A M. I
don't know what that means, but just came's.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Got a blame l E b r L and me Lebron,
le blame Lebron lame?
Speaker 6 (01:21):
How do we.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Get blame leblarnow? Okay, here's uh Lebron toron blames.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Here.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Here is Lebron talking about replace center after the loss
last night.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I don't understand what's going on in replay center. To
be honest, I said it. I think I said it
this year, last year. Whatever Delo clearly gets hitting a
face on a drive. Do we have a replay center?
This is going to go? That doesn't It doesn't make
sense to me, makes no sense to me. It bothers me.
Sorry to ask your question.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
But that is like.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
And then I just saw what happened with the uh
sixers nickname too.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
What how are we doing well?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Down twenty the Nuggets beat the Lakers at the buzzer
and a wild final twenty seven seconds as the Knicks
go up two to oh in the seventy six ers.
You got Suns, Timberwolves, Pacers, Bucks, Mavericks and the Clippers
coming up tonight. By the way, Saturday, the Premier League
continues on NBC in Peacock the Battle of Survival. It's
(02:24):
Everton looking to stay above relegation as they take on Brentford,
NBC and PEACONK All right, are we changing up our
pole question for the final hour of the program.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well, we also had up there team down two most
likely to make a comeback. Your options are the Magic,
the Lakers, and the Sixers. Right now at sixty six
percent of the both the Sixers running away with that one.
Lakers are still in last place.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay, yeah, they've played well, but then they've also played poorly.
Like you can't say, boy, they played well last night
and then you blow a twenty point lead. They played
well enough to get a twenty point lead, and then
they played poorly enough to have that evaporate. And here
is how it sounded, with Jamal Murray with the ball
in his hands, dunting at the time out.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Real time.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Don't call it tie ball game.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Worst can happen?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
We go all the time, Murley, make some moms, Kevin Harlan,
Reggie Miller on the call.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
They didn't call a time out. They knew what play
they wanted to run, which you know great teams have
that you already know. All right, this is the situation,
this is what we're going to do. And you could
see Joker news going to be a pick and roll,
probably going to have a d switch out on him.
And was there going to be enough time if Jamal
had to throw it back to Joker to try to
(03:53):
get a shot off. Probably not. You know, they were
going to live and die by that shot because the
game was tied. If the game wasn't tied, I wonder
if they would have taken that shot if they were
down one, would they have somehow got it to Joker
and that he would have I mean, he's not always
the go to guy, but then he's just as dangerous
being a passer, you know. You know Lebron is like
(04:15):
that as well. You know that Lebron can find the
open man, but he's also not afraid to take the shot.
His shot selections, though, are questionable at times, Like there
are times Lebron thinks he's Steph Curry and I'm going
to pull up from three because people don't think I'm
a great He's not a great shooter. Imagine being the
all time leading scorer and you're not a great shooter
(04:36):
because he's not. He's streaky and he'll get on a roll,
but he's never going to be confused with Klay Thompson.
He did have a play last night where he dunked,
he got a steal and then went the distance and
then dunked and it was like, all right, he still
got it. But it does feel like, certainly in Denver,
(04:57):
that you can see when Lebron does like he's thirty nine.
Most of the time he does it, but there are
times when you go, he's gassed, he's winded, and understandably
so you're asking him to play a lot of minutes,
ad a lot of minutes because Denver's going to play
their stars a lot of minutes. Last night, Joker once
(05:20):
again putting up historical numbers twenty seven to twenty and
ten that's been turned in by three other players in
NBA history have put up those numbers in the postseason.
Wilt did it twice, Dave Cowens with the Celtics, and
then Kareem did it once. I mean, these are incredible numbers,
but you can watch and you almost they need to
(05:41):
tell you what his stats are sometimes because you'll go
that seems like he's got a few assists, always got
ten or rebounds now a lot of offensive rebounds, a
lot of offense, you know, and that's effort. You know,
offensive rebounding is effort. Defense is usually just position. Know,
they take the shot, you're underneath the hoop, you get
(06:02):
the rebound. Offensive rebounding that takes effort, and then you
put up, you know, once again, twenty seven points. But
he can do it in a way where you go wow,
like Scotty Scheffler esque, Oh wow, yeah, rare air there, yeah,
where you're going, Wow, he's got some pretty good numbers there.
(06:22):
Where do those numbers stack up? Who else has done
that in NBA history?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Wilt Kareem and then Dave Cowens did it once. Yes, Pauline,
I found a weird stat, but this is confirmed. Players
who played twenty or more seasons in the NBA, how
many dunks did they have in their twentieth season? Lebron
has over sixty dunks this year in counting the last
day check it was over sixty. Who is second all
time dunks in a season in their twentieth season? It's
(06:50):
an obvious name. He played a long time, had kind
of two career seaton.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh, Vince Carter.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Vince Carter's correct Woh, Kobe Bryant had five dunks in
year twenty What about Kareem. I don't have Cream on
the list. Now, that might be one of those since
the nineties, because a lot of stats are since ninety six.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
But Kareem played twenty years. Yes, Robert Parrish played twenty years.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
I got Kevin Willis with seven dunks. Kevin Garnetta had
three in season twenty okay, you donnas has them. Unfortunately
had zero dunks.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
No, there a.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Minutes fifty five hours until the NFL Draft. Oh, synchronize
our watchers.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Fifty five We got fifty five hours.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're waiting for something to happen. Is there gonna be drama?
PAULI has an NFL draft theory. You guys can chew
this up if you like theory.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I saw a lot of reports that a lot of
people think that Arizona, who has the fourth pick, will
trade down.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Okay, then they could.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
Get a receiver or whatever it may be, and that's
the spot that everyone's got to trade up. I think
that the New England Patriots are waiting to see what
Arizona does with that fourth pick and they want to
trade out. So someone's going to trade up with Arizona,
such as Minnesota, Denver, Vegas Giants, and Once the New
England Patriots have that information what the prices, they're going
(08:15):
to trade with the other team. So the first trade
will be someone will trade up for the fourth pick
with Arizona. And right after that, the New Yank Patriots
will trade out knowing the price, and they'll aast for more.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Why don't I just trade up with the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
People will try, but the Patriots will hold because then
they they will now have leverage if Arizona trades out.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, what if they wait too long, then I will
and they're stuck with the pick that would be. And
then poor Drake May, who joins this tomorrow, has to
go to New England and.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Play for that team. He would love to play there. No,
he wouldn't. He's going to say that he would love to,
and I.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Don't you know.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Once again, that's when a team can be to your debt,
to your growth in New England.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Might be that the Jets were that.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
To Zach Wilson, I still never understood that, even with
the Jets mess at quarterbacking. And then I look at
the Cleveland Browns. Could you make the argument Cleveland and
the Jets are probably equally talented, like they're really good defense,
got some skilled position guys. Cleveland lost their running back
(09:25):
and lost their quarterback, and then they get Joe Flacco
and they go to the playoffs. Like the Jets to me,
were poorly coached. That yes, you lost Aaron Rodgers, but
then you weren't ready just in case a quarterback who's
going to be thirty nine years of age gets hurt.
And then you got Zach Wilson, who you don't even
want to play. And then you have Tim Boyle, who
(09:47):
is basically Aaron Rodgers buddy. If they would have had
a respectable like Gardner Minshew, like the Jets had, the talent,
defense is good, had a running you got a really
good wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I just think they were poorly coached. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
More, have you ever been around a team where one
side of the ball hated the other because they weren't
performing like they should have.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
The Ravens, Yeah, the Ravens had a real problem their
defense with their offense. And I remember Ray Lewis was
telling me this. He said, I remember just saying to Trent,
just get his ten points, all right, just score ten points.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
We'll take care of that.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
The problem was they did don't give you ten point.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's all they gave them to be like, here's ten.
Hope you're happy, all right, we'll hold him to seven.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Yeah, Paul, you're right, though, the Browns won eleven games
this year, and mostly because what they did with Flacco.
They didn't just sit and wait and give up on
the season. The Jets won seven games basically without a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yes, I mean it's inexcusable, it's malpracticed.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Though.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I thought Robert Sala did a poor job, and you know,
and then he's there's leaks in the organization and they
want to find them.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I mean, it was a mess, really was a mess.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Rogers. Aaron Rodgers as a GM did a poor job.
Robert solid as a head coach did a poor job,
and they should have been a playoff team, or they
should have been a ten to eleven win team. If
Joe Flacco is the difference. I that says a lot
about coaching. And Kevin Stefanski did a great job, and
the Jets could have had Joe Flacco. I think that's
(11:22):
where he wanted to go, but that is sort of
lost in all the Aaron Rodgers drama. It was just
poorly coached team. Yeah, I'm Marv sorry.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
Going back to the Ravens, they lost three straight games.
They lost to the then the Redskins ten to three.
They lost to the Titans fourteen to six, and he
lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers nine to six.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You could see why they were a little frosty, little frosty.
Andrew in Vegas joins us, Hey, Andrew, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (11:54):
DP five ten, one fifty. I may have heard this wrong,
but did Mannick say joker over bird then throw his.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Head into host?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, somebody needs to.
Speaker 11 (12:09):
Take the hat and then just throw it right back
at him.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
All right, thank you, Andrew. Yeah, Chris Mannis threw his
name in the hat to be my successor. I've had
two people reach out that I think people would be
interested in. But once again I've said this, I don't
know what the dan nuts are going to do when
I retire. I don't know what they want to do.
(12:35):
And then I would say to these guys, who do
you want to work for? And then what if to
say they'd like to work for that person, and two
for that person? Then I got to come in and
cast the vote. That's not fair. So this might be
I put you guys in a jury room and you
guys are not coming out until we have a verdict.
You're going to be sequestered.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yes, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I just, I guess mistakenly assumed that has some autonomy
over my future wants to show.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You do, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You can walk away if you want, but if you stay,
then you guys would have to vote on who you
would want as a successor, right right, So you do
have autonomy over yourself if you want to walk away.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Or do they have to buy a building and stuff tour?
Is it just in this one?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And then you like all Lisa, I won't make you guys,
that's a good idea a different place. So if somebody
comes in and Ross Tucker wants to come here and
you know, be the host everything, then it'll it'll be
I've got my garage, it'll be here that whoever would
come in would have to come in here.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yes, Mar would you.
Speaker 10 (13:42):
Call it the Dan Patrick Show featuring Ross Tucker, Tyler.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Perry, Yes, yeah, I would, it'd because it'd be Dan
Patrick's Ross Tucker Show.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, Ruth's Chris, Yeah, The Dan Patrick Show featuring Ross
Tucker and the Dan nuts and their tuckers.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
H Hyler, Perry, Paul.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
In Florida, high ball idea in that stituation, then media,
that'd be Todd.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
It's going to be you hosting Dan. You're just going
to be dressed up as a cat. You know it's
not I'll be dressed up as a woman. Paul in Florida,
Good morning, Paul. How can we help you?
Speaker 12 (14:21):
Hey, Dan?
Speaker 13 (14:21):
Get into your best teams ever? Surprised nobody hit on
the Miami Hurricane football program eighties and nineties, fifty eight
straight home victories, which was gonna be a while before
somebody even touches it. I think Georgia is currently at
twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Well, we were talking basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
There's a thirty for thirty documentary on the U, so
I don't think they're forgotten. There's two documentaries on the U,
so there nobody forgot about Miami that we were talking
basketball teams, college basketball in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
TJ and Charlotte. Hey, TJ, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Hey Dan? I know this is a group of guys
that likes to laugh at others teams. So I have
a funny story from last night. I had a fifteen
leg parlay and the first four The first fourteen had
already hit, and this would pay out thirty thousand dollars.
The last leg is for Austin Reeves to hit over
(15:25):
one and a half threes. He gets one in the
third quarter, and then in the fourth quarter, it's about
a minute fifty to go. He gets a wide open
look and when he shoots it, I swear the ball
stays in the air for about four hours before it
clangs off the back of the room and I lose
my parlay right there. And I was hoping Jamal Murray
(15:46):
miss so I got five extra minutes, but of course
he didn't watch that happened.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, congratulations on the fourteen that did hit. If it's
just the final one that didn't, lost thirty.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And that's a pretty safe one to take.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Austin Reeves over one and a half threes, that's not
that's not crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I don't how many games did he have of two
made three pointers this year?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I don't know, but I know if I saw that number,
I'd be like, take it.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, why not? Well, I mean, what do you go
what if he stopped at thirteen? Why do you got
to go to the fourteenth?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I don't know, because that's that's why when you do parlays,
the odds are stacked against you.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We love parlays, so does Vegas. Yes, yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Austin Reeves for the Lakers average one point nine threes.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Made again this year. Okay, but that's not two. However,
it is over one and a half.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
In the playoffs, he's outing one point five threes made.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You're right, it's not. It's over one and a half,
but it's still not two. Last night he had one
point nine. He had one nine threes. Yes, all right,
let me take a break. Good buddy, Chris Haynes. He
was on the sidelines. He was the court side reporter
NBA on TNT at the Garden last night. We'll get
his thoughts on that back after this Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 14 (17:23):
Hey, what's up everybody? It's me three time pro bowler
LeVar Arrington, and I couldn't be more excited to announce
a podcast called Up on Game? What is up on Game?
You asked, along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Hutschman,
Zada and Super Bowl Champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
(17:45):
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me LeVar Arrington, TJ. Hutchman, Zada,
and Plexico Burrs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or
wherever how you get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
From if you miss last Hour. We had Chris mannigs on.
He covers the NBA for Sports Illustrated and I said,
is the Joker already above Karl Malone on the all
time list? And he said yes, and then throw out
some other names, and then I said, what about surpassing
(18:22):
Larry Bird? And he said yes, and I went, uh oh,
that could be blasphemous. Chris mannis, but you know, with
three MVPs, if he would happen to win another title. Now,
all of a sudden, you start to go into a
whole different category. There to be continued there. Chris Haynes
was on the sidelines. I saw him last night, all
(18:44):
decked down, Bleacher Report, NBA Insider, court side reporter. He
was there at the garden and got a chance to
witness it all. Listen to it all. Give me what
the environment was like with a minute to go in
the garden, Chris.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Thanks for having me on DP. It was an incredible experience.
Speaker 15 (19:04):
That was my first Nick playoff game working as a
Sidelum reporter, so I was very interested in seeing how
that turnout was going to shape out.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
But it was incredible.
Speaker 15 (19:15):
But that last minute my seat, I have a seat
directly behind the Sixers, bitch, and a minute left into
that game, you know, you're just seeing the Sixers. They're
they're you know, they're pounding their chests, they're they're excited.
They believe they got this game. They believe they're about
to finish this game. And you know it was the fans.
(19:38):
They were they were down in somber. It looked like
we were going back to Philadelphia on one in one
and then it happened.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
And when I say.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
It, a lot happened, I mean it was it just
turned that place upside down. They're look, I know the call,
the controversial non call holding of Tyrese Maxi and the
Sixers have asked the league to review that. They founded,
(20:08):
you know, found a complaint on that. I don't think
anything is going to come of that. But with that
being said, take that away. The Knicks crash the boards
off his rebounds. Uh dove on the ball, I mean
dove on the floor to get the ball.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
They wanted it. They they really wanted it.
Speaker 15 (20:26):
And that's the thing when I look at this, when
when I look at this matchup, I believe talent wise,
I believe Philadelphia has the better team talent wise. But
the Knicks they got some dogs. They got some dogs
over there. Josh hart Hartn's thing. Uh Dante difference, I
can't I don't want to mess with his name. Different
(20:49):
will always have a hard time saying that, I only
stay with Dante. They got some dogs over there, and
so I think ultimately that's what's that's what's putting them
in favor and putting them ahead as of right.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Now, should be favored.
Speaker 15 (21:00):
Now you gotta you gotta stay the Knicks. I mean
they took they took care of home court advantage. This
is my if I'm a Sixers fan, my concern going
into Game three is that.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
They might not be over Game two, just the way
that it ended and the complaints that they have valid complaints.
Valid complaints.
Speaker 15 (21:26):
You can obviously see Jalen Brunson kind of pulled that
Tyrese Maxi's jersey.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Valid complaints.
Speaker 15 (21:33):
But you know, there's a time where you have to
kind of move on and you can't let that settle in.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
And I'm not saying that's the case, but you.
Speaker 15 (21:44):
Could see a scenario play out in which Game two
might have been the game that broke the series down.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I don't know Philly still has.
Speaker 15 (21:54):
You know, they got home court now for the next
two days, two games, I should say, but that that
was a brutal loss for sure.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Why didn't Philly take a timeout?
Speaker 15 (22:02):
Well, Nick Nurse was actually calling the timeout. The ref
looked like he didn't see him or he ignored them.
So you could see on the sideline Nick Nurse trying
to get the ref's attention, but also Kyle Lowry, who's
inbounded that ball. He could have they would have seen
him if he would have called a timeout, you know.
So I think it was a situation where the ref
(22:24):
was they were looking at the players, and it's that
environment was loud like DP. It was one of the
better playoff environments I've been in in a long time,
so it was loud, so I can I guess I
can see that the ref probably didn't hear Nick Nurse
on the sideline trying to call a timeout, but they
would have saw the players. If Kyle Lowry would have
signal for a time out, I think they would have
(22:46):
got it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, but I'm looking at it right now. It's like
Nick Nurse wants to call the timeout. He hesitates a
little bit there, and then the ball is loose, so
you can't call that timeout if the ball is loose.
So I think he missed the op opportunity to call
the time out.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 15 (23:03):
And also like Kyle Lowry, you know he'll being a veteran,
being a champion like he, I believe he knows they
still have a time out left, like he has to.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
He has to feel it, you know, he has a tick.
You know, he has a ticking clock in his head.
Speaker 15 (23:18):
He understands, you know, it's about to be close to
being a five second call, like he has to. He
has to know understand the time as well. So I
don't know what happened right there. Maybe the players didn't
know they had a time out. I don't know, but
that was an unfortunate situation.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He's Chris Haynes NBA on TNT Courtside Reporter. Next up,
he'll have the heat in the Celtics series for the
next three games. Also check out his basketball podcast with
Mark Stein hashtag This League Uncut. We had Chris Mannis
on last hour and we were talking about Joker. You
get three MVPs in four years, you get a title,
(23:53):
and at what point does he start to get into
the conversation of all time greats? Not a top ten, certainly,
not yet. But is Joker in that top twenty player
category all time? Let's say top top twenty in your opinion.
Speaker 15 (24:11):
Top twenty. Look, I will say this, and I'm gonna
ask you a question. I'm not gonna dip from it, Okay,
but I heard, you know, I heard Manics say that
he's already better than Karl Malone.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Yeah, right, would you say Carl Malone is top ten,
top fifteen.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
He's not top ten, maybe top fifteen, maybe top fifteen.
Speaker 15 (24:34):
Okay, So I think talent wise, Joker is a top ten,
maybe even hmm, maybe even top eight seven. I don't
maybe talent wise, but as far as we're talking career,
you know, That's where like I kind of I'm a
little bit hesitant on the malone because I know the
championships in the MVP, I get that, but it's the longevity.
(24:57):
It's still something to be said about, you know, having
longevity in this league. But with that being said, top twenty, yeah,
I would put him in the top twenty right now,
top ten. I want to see more. I want to
see more because you know, it's like I used to
make this, you know, when Bo Jackson was playing, probably
(25:17):
you know, people at the time were saying he was
arguably the best running back ever just in that timeframe,
in that window that he had, and you can still
make the case like pound for pound, you know, arguably
being the best or one of the best running backs period,
but he didn't have that longevity. So with Joker, that's
you know, I want to see more time and window.
But talent wise, we're talking just talent. Talent wise, he's.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Among the greats.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Is it a good thing that the best players in
the game are from other countries?
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I don't think it's a bad thing. I Mean, this
is what David Stern wanted.
Speaker 15 (25:52):
He wanted the NBA to branch out and to become
a global game, and it has. The world has caught up,
and I think it's good to have different styles of
basketball and different people of different countries and races ethnicity
representing this game.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
So I don't I don't see it as a bad
thing at all.
Speaker 15 (26:09):
And I think if you're an American, if we're complaining
about it, we'll just put you, put your work in
and get out there and try to take them down.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
But I would love to see the US versus the
world at the All Star Game. I do think that
might have a little more country pride and you know,
then maybe there's a little bit more to it. I mean,
we're at the point now where there's not many other
options to dress this up and make it seem like
(26:40):
it's an actual game.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Okay, let me say this, DP, you may ask you.
This sounds cool, sounds sounds like a good idea. I've
heard it before. But the world does the world have
fifteen twelve to fifteen European All Stars? Legitimate All Stars?
Are we at that stage yet?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Well? They get Canada too?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
Still are we at that stage?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Well? I know I've got the honest joker.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
You can't you can't consider MB on the world team anymore.
He's playing for the US national team. So you got
the joker Yannis. Uh shake Jose Alexander when by Yamama?
Uh let me see.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, Laurie Marknen, now you grasping now, Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
All I know is I like my starting five better
than you're starting five.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Okay, Okay, Well, I think I think the US has to.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Beth Uh, Chris tops porzingis.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
You still.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Rudy, Rudy Gobert, Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
You throw Rudy in there, you throw in there.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But you know, Josh, all right, before I let you go,
you're running the Warriors. What do you do in the
off season.
Speaker 15 (28:10):
I'm checking in with Clay to see what his asking
price is to stay. It's a reasonable price. You bring
him back. I think that's the fair move. My concern
would be that Clay may feel that he can get
more on the open market.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
But with that being said, uh, you gotta check with Steph.
Speaker 15 (28:35):
If Steph wants the team back in place, you gotta
kind of run with that. But you also have to
bring in more younger guys. And I think they did
a good job of incorporating cominga and you know, they
had the big man. The big man came through at
the center spot, gave him a just an aerial threat.
(28:57):
And then you have Brandon Vezinski, defensive guy hard. Those
guys a doll. So they did a good job and
incorporating some young guys. But I still think ultimately you
got to check in with Steph to some of what
he wants. If he feels like you want to bring
those three back, excuse me, Draymond and Klay Thompson back,
I think you kind of kind of you gotta lean
that way. But with Clay, you definitely have to figure
(29:19):
out the pricing situation.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, would you ask Steph if he would like to
play elsewhere?
Speaker 15 (29:27):
I don't even think I asked that Q. I can't
ask that question. I can't ask him that question. The
reason I can't why I can't ask him that question
because I think he would think that you guys are
thinking about let me go now.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I know I would just say, out of respect for
you winning a championship, if you feel like you can
win a championship here, then you know we can bring
everybody back. But if if it's important to you with
everything you've done for this franchise, if it's important to
win another championship and you feel like you have a
better chance else where, then we would try to accommodate that.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
This is why I say I wouldn't.
Speaker 15 (30:05):
I wouldn't ask him that question because there are three
players that I've known that I've covered. I won't name,
but I've covered them throughout their career. Management propose that
question or ask that question, ask them that question, and
they took it as management or ownership is starting to
look in a different direction, and they took it as.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
A site all right.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
So that's the reason why I said I wouldn't ask
them that question. I think for a player of that caliber,
if that player is still now, I think you could
ask that question. If you know the star player is
on a downhill and even like, you know what, we'll
keep because of what you've done for this organization, but
you know, are you you know, are you willing to
go elsewhere?
Speaker 7 (30:47):
You know? They can take it a different way. But
I would let that player. I would let that player
bring that to the table.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Hey what about Yakadal?
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
The All international team? I got.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
There, you go DP. That was my response.
Speaker 16 (31:11):
That's my thing, because if we want to go to
the world versus the United States. Then you're going to
have some United States players that feel snub because you're
given eight or nine All Star spots to players in
the world who aren't of that caliber yet. So that's
that's the discrepancy, and that's the controversy that I can
(31:31):
see happening.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
How about the.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
No, Okay, we want to we want to have a game.
That's fine, But I'm telling you right now, there's a
lot of players who have to have bonuses. You know,
they make an All Star team, and now you're you're
you're taking away fifteen spots to have the world versus
the United States. So I'm just I'm hey, do it,
do it at your own risk, Adam Silver and Deep.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I do love my starting five though.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Hey that's a good start to find, but it's about dip.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
All I know is I got Joker, I got Luca,
I got one Byana, I got Janis, I got Shay Gilgess.
You can bring whoever you got. We ain't afraid. And
you know what, they're playing the entire game. No bench,
I'm giving you the rest of the roster spots for
(32:29):
the players from the US. I got my five my
five's on the floor.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Epte.
Speaker 15 (32:34):
Good luck trying to convince their respective coaches but letting
him play.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
All don't be a buzz kill. Don't be a buzzkill.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Back in my day, we played every minute. Hey, safe
travels there. Thanks for joining us as always, buddy, Thank
you for having me one of our favorites. Chris Haynes

(33:07):

store tomorrow We're going to try to accomplish all of
that next.

(33:33):
Still waiting for one of those bombs to go off.
There's a news element here. Something's gonna happen. It's too quiet.
Don't trust these gms. Chris and Huntington Beach. Good morning, Chris,
how can I help you?
Speaker 17 (33:49):
Good morning dan first time, longtime five So a suggestion
for when you retire. We love you, we love the
dan Attes. We'd love to see the show continue. Instead
of bringing in a new head lead, why not let
each Danette lead the show for a month and then
(34:12):
rotate the next month so each one gets a chance.
We'd love to see it continue.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
All righty, well, thank you, thank you, Chris. I'll take
that under advisement. Being a Danette and being a host
is a little bit different. And I don't know if
anybody has aspirations to host a show for three hours,
five days a week, but I mean it takes like mentally,
(34:38):
there's a lot going on that you have to be
kind of in charge of. And at the end of
the show, I couldn't do four hours. And I even
said to the dan autes last week, let's make this
show two hours. Feels like two hours would be awesome.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
We all seemed very receptive to me.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You did.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, it was more money, less work. To quote Dustin
Johnson going to the live tour. Hey, that's great, less golf,
more money. This day in sports history, Pauline.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Got a couple for you.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
Here Dan in Chicago, Illinois, the first baseball game at
Wrigley Field took place.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Not the Cubs though.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
And let's see Hank Aaron in nineteen fifty four with
the Milwaukee Braves hit his first major league home run.
Here's my favorite. Nineteen sixty four. You remember this guy,
Ken Johnson of the Houston Astros through the first no
hitter for a loss. The game was one zero and
he lost to Cincinnati Reds. He was throwing a no hitter.
They walked Pete Rose. They threw over to keep my
(35:36):
first base error another era, Pete Rose scores. A guy
loses but throws a no hitter.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Did Britt Burns throw a no hitter and lose? White
sonks pitcher? Does that sound right.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Checking? Okay?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Fernando Tattoos on this day hit two grand slams in
one inning, both against Chanaho Park. Ouch And uh, is
it Wegman Field or Wegman Field. It's Wegman that used
to be Wrigley Field w E E G H M
(36:17):
A N. So it's Wegman Field now Wrigley Field. And
that was the first baseball game. Oh, by the way,
Connor McDavid Connor McDavid had five assists last night. That
hasn't happened in a playoff game since nineteen and nineteen
ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Five assists, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
Is Connor McDavid, the joker McDavid of the NHL, where
he's playing his way into the top ten all time.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Man, he's he's as close to Gretzky. I think I
know that Sidney Crosby, you know, people looked at him
as he was the next Gretzky. But Connor McDavid, he's
on great He's on a great pace. Here win some
cups though. Let's see Aerican Oklahoma. Hi, Eric, what's on
(37:09):
your mind today?
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (37:10):
What's Dan? How are you great?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Great?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Hey?
Speaker 12 (37:14):
I was listening earlier about the European or international player debate,
and I was curious for this example. I want to
use soccer and basketball, you know, seeing as two global games.
Why is it when Europeans or international players come over
to play in the NBA they have great success, But
we send American players to European leagues and they're great.
(37:36):
I mean, they're fine, but they're not top of the
world success. Is it the fact that they don't get
professional experience? As early as Europeans do. Wanted to kind
of hear your thoughts on the whole year international VERSUS
American player debate in different sports.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, I think how they're teaching basketball players in a
lot of European foreign countries is you learn the fundamental
that they teach you ball handling. If you're a seven footer,
ball handling, footwork is really important. I think that they're
more skilled at a younger age, or at least they're
(38:12):
at least taught that way to understand the fundamentals of basketball.
A lot of the problems with basketball over here is
aau that you're just out there firing away, and I
think it's probably a little more structured in a lot
of these countries of going to academies and teaching you
how to play basketball, because a lot of these players
who come over are well rounded, and I think that's
(38:36):
probably the difference. It's not like, hey, you're going to
be one dimensional. They want you to be able to
be an all around player. Seeton, why do you think
the US born soccer player maybe doesn't succeed the way
the European players in basketball succeed over here.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Because we don't know how to develop soccer players here mostly,
but I think that they you're brought into a different
environment in Europe and you're taught fundamentals at a very
early age, and you're focused on that. In the United States,
if you're not the biggest, strongest kid, you're thrown off
the team immediately in favor of the bigger, stronger kids
(39:16):
who might be faster, they might be running hard, they
might whatever.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
But saying.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
In soccer, you might have more technical ability with the ball,
meaning you're better at the ball at your feet, you
can move it better. You might just be undersized a
little bit because of development, and here those kids are
usually shown the door in favor of Yeah, but that
kid can run fast. He can't do anything with the
ball at his feet, but at least he's faster.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah, I just go by what I remember Dirk Davitsky
talking to me about this, because he said, you know,
we're taught fundamentals early Luca. When you saw Luca as
a fifteen or sixteen year old, he's playing with grown men,
but it's because he knew how to play basketball fundamentals. Yes, right, Yeah,
So I think they don't say this is position, this
(40:01):
is what you need to learn to do. It's position
less in how they teach you.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
We reward athleticism here much more than just like effort
or work on the ball.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
You know, final results of the poll question. Let me
see here, we got a couple of them.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Here are you which team down zero to two it's
most likely to make a comeback? Sixers still got that one,
and most people believe a large majority this might be
a Lebron bias. Blaming the refs in basketball is super lame.
That's at eighty percent. Yeah, nobody ever credits the referee. Never,
No one goes after the game.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Hey, before we get started, I just want to say
the refs called a great game.
Speaker 7 (40:42):
Nice job.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
That was totally traveling, because if you say it, I'm
sure the other team's gonna go.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Man, the referees were crappy.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
It feels like they swallowed their whistle though so far
during the NBA playoffs, Todd, would you learn today.
Speaker 9 (40:55):
We got a double bang from Mike Breen or Codunthie's
even gento game win.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Or Leftie loved h see. Yeah, the rare double bang.
It's like a double rainbow in the sky. It's fantastic.
Speaker 10 (41:05):
Marvin Mannics put his name in the hat. Yeah, yes
he did, Paulie.
Speaker 9 (41:09):
It's very hard to unbust yourself.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
