WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Clarence Hill (07-08-20) 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:07.760 Sports Radio. Yes, indeed, I'm Chris. He's Jason. We call 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.399 him Jay Mack, and we are filling in for Dan 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.680 right here on the Dan Patrick Show and Jay mc 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.680 let's move on to the NBA. We're all obviously excited 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.920 about the restart. I think it's gonna be tremendous. Obviously 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.640 we're hoping and praying that they can get through this 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:26.120 thing because they faced some real obstacles. They silver, Yeah, 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.560 he hasn't been shy, and I respect Adam for that. 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.280 The commissioner, he hasn't been shy and addressing him now, Chris, Chris, 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.040 can I jump in with something real? You just said 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:36.640 a phrase that I haven't heard a lot of, Like 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.120 we all need the NBA, Chris, Like when you disconnect 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.839 from social media and you go out in public and 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:47.040 talk to other dads, other young guys, the number one 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.640 thing I hear, man, we need sports back. I mean, Chris, 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.800 it's getting really bleak. Listen. I get it's been four 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.200 months in the quarantine, but Chris, I mean, at the 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.480 end of the day, it's not good for everybody's mental 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.600 health if all they do is watch the news and 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.040 listen to that idiot leader we've got and then go 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.839 on social media. Chris, we need basketball badly. I'm rooting 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:12.200 for this bubble, maybe maybe more than any team I've 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.880 ever rooted for before in sports history. I'm not kidding, 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.120 and that includes my Jets in a couple of AFC 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.279 title games with Mark Sanchez. But I digressed. I'm rooting 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.600 for the bubble because I want dudes to be healthy. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.839 I'm not desperate. I think this is actually a good time. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.480 Look if we if for some reason, I want sports, obviously, 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.640 that's what I do for a living. I love sports. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.959 Sports has been a huge part of my entire life, 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.200 all right. I'm excited about the NBA, the Major League Baseball, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.520 and of course the NFL startups. Okay, so I'm hyped, 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.640 and I hope that these guys get through it and 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.840 we have a great restart, all right, in a great season. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.600 But I'm not desperate. If they don't have sports, this 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.320 is the time for people to look within and find 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.120 other hobbies, do other things, you know, look at yourself, 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.880 look in the mirror. There's other stuff to do. I 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.120 agree with that, but you know, at the end of 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.920 the day, we grew up watching sports. We grew up. 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.000 At the end of the day, you played sports all 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.240 day outside with your buddies, you know, you hung out 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.400 with your parents, you had dinner, and then maybe you 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.160 flip on a game for a little bit before going 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.440 to bed. I don't know about you. I'm not watching 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.320 any TV lately. I mean maybe, like you know, what 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.080 was it, Britta, not Braveheart? But um, Gladiator was on 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.880 and I started showing my little kids Gladiator and my 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.960 wife's like, are we sure we should do this? You know, 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.800 you know, and I'm like, well, there's no sports. I 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.200 can't turn it on and say, let's watch Lebron dominate, 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.239 you know, against some over overmatched opponent, like sports is 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.880 a unifiers. Like Chris, we could just get together and 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.400 watch a game, and it's just it's depressing at the 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.520 end of the day. I listen, I like you, I'm 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.240 getting religious, uh, read books, you know, talk with my family. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.320 But there's a lot of stuff you could do. But 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.440 Chris has been four months. Can I get a basketball 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.359 game from just like you? Yeah? I want it back 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.640 just like you. And speaking of that, Lebron James just posted, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.519 uh recently a post on Instagram and it's it's it 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:16.000 is interesting to see these guys working out with mask on. 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.600 You know, have you run with a masket or done 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.880 any workout with a mask? Not? Not with a mask. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.000 I've you know, I've I've worked out and stuff, but 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.840 it's not it's not that bad. Really, Yeah, I've run it. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.720 It feels like it would be very uncomfortable, but I 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.320 guess I don't know why. You know, the breathing obviously 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.360 can be a little labored, but I run, like I 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.880 try to run almost four miles like every other day, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.520 and uh, I've done it with a mask A couple 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.119 of times. I've done it with a mask, and it's 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:48.200 not noticeably different on your time at least necessary. I mean, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.240 you're not the other thing. Right Again, I wouldn't say, 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.440 like when I'm out, I'm gonna keep it real. I 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.320 have my mask. Whenever I leave the house, I bring 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.720 a mask, And when I go into stores or whatever, 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.640 I have mask. Yes, But when I'm outside, if my 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.240 family and I or myself is just going for a 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.200 walk or I'm sitting out, you know, at an outdoor 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.119 restaurant with a couple of people, I'm not wearing a Marry. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.000 That's understandable and I'm with you on that. Um, the 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.000 CDC has really screwed up this whole mask narrative. You know. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.920 Remember at the beginning they were like, oh, people don't 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.279 need masks, and they're like, everybody wear a mask, Like 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.080 they really bungled this. But you're right, when you're outside 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.840 running you probably don't need one. I will just say, 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.880 you know, when you're running, you're breathing heavier and the 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.680 droplets come out of your mouth maybe a little further 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.600 because of the heavy breathing running, And if you run 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.760 by an old person, you don't want to infect them. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.040 So let me ask you this, and I don't think 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.720 this is on the table, but do you think they 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.720 should play with masks? I've been invited to play pick 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.920 up basketball and my first question was are you guys 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.320 wearing masks? And they're like, nah, I were good, and 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.440 I'm like, I didn't play well. My wife. My wife 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.240 basically put the kibosh. It's just like, hold up, hold up, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.720 you're not playing basketball with a bunch of guys who 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.040 haven't been and tested. Are they doing temperature checks? And 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:08.200 like myself, yeah, I got tested, Yeah, I got tested. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.240 And I was I didn't have it, thankfully. Was it 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.440 the nosed one? No, it was a blood test, okay, 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.160 pricked me and got it the next day, and uh 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.960 it was all good. So all right, but let let's uh. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.760 Lebron posted a picture of him at the Lakers facility 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.800 working out. He's just kind of standing there, looks like 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.960 near mid court. Um, but he's got a mask on 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.719 and he's ready. And the caption that he tweeted out 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.280 or put out on Instagram is war ready. And here's 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.640 what I want to get to. The hashtag revenge season 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:45.200 continues soon. Now let me start this and then I 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.719 know you're gonna weigh in. I as you know, I 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:53.000 think you know. I like Lebron a lot um big 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.640 fan of his game. Obviously what he does off the court. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.840 It'd be great if he won a fourth ring. I 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.760 have picked the Clippers because I do it objectively. I don't. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.520 I don't. I go with what I believe over my 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.599 I go with my head, over my heart. I think 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.560 the Clippers are the better team. We can get into 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.040 that later. But this one thing I don't agree. I 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:18.080 don't think Lebron needed to put out this hashtag revenge 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.400 season continues soon. And here's why, because when Lebron has 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:27.760 done that in the past, it's backfired on right. I 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.160 could name two times off the top of my head. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.159 Last year when he came back from the groin injury 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.680 and he said, you know, playoff mode, activating, right, and 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.839 then they lose to Memphis. The way he was good, 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.440 he was good, he was fine, but well. But but 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.040 they couldn't even beat these weak sisters. No, it wasn't 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.080 on here, But I'm just saying, like, still, usually by himself, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.200 he can beat teams like Atlanta and stuff like that, 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.120 so that backfired on him. They didn't even make the playoffs. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.120 And then of course when he first went to Miami 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.719 one not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.520 not seven, and of course they get two in four years, 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.760 so that backfire doing him. So I just think Lebron 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.120 needs to just go out there and play and do 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.040 it on the court without all the hashtags and the 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:23.200 braggadose ship. How about that. I don't mind that. Chris, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.360 I kind of like it. You know, he's he's firing 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.280 back at the whole Washed King narrative. This is his 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.520 way of talking to the media without talking to the media. Right, 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.600 this is him saying, oh, y'all said I was washed 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.360 last year when I was thirty four, we missed the 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.160 playoffs after I had gone to eighth straight finals. You 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.360 thought I was washed, huh, because remember he was doing 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.800 washed king that kid from Akron or whatever whatever the 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.880 hashtags were. And now he's on revenge. Morold Chris, I 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.120 love this. Even when he lost on Opening Night to 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.480 the Clippers, and then on Christmas Day to the Clippers, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.640 a lot of people say, oh, Lebron kidt takedown kawhie, 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.000 it's over. He's not getting named rings. And then that 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.880 huge win in March, Chris, oh, that that was one 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.400 of the best games of the NBA season where I 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.560 will forget season. But does it override the two losses? 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.560 I mean I think it does. Yeah. I think what 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:15.000 happened late matters more than what happened when, especially when 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:16.680 one of the guys that helped you win, who had 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.760 six threes and scored twenty four points, Avery Bradley won't 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.360 even be there, Like speaking of who too, I'm just worrying. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.560 Can I ask you, is Lou Williams going to the bubble. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.040 There is still chatter since you you mentioned it. I 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.960 think like two weeks ago, Um, I have been digging 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.400 around in La and Lou Williams is not a lot 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.160 to go to the bubble from what I've heard. Well, look, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.600 we like you said, we don't know, and Lou would 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.200 be a loss. There's no doubt about it. He is 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.040 big for them in the clutch. He's efficient for them 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:51.120 in the clutch. Here's the thing with Lou though. Uh, 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:58.040 the Lakers hunted as Lebron, they hunted for Lou and 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.680 we were wondering, why, what is Doc River get him out? 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.280 You got enough talent? Okay, as good as Lou is, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.240 they have enough talent where he doesn't have to be 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.160 in there at the end of the game. True. But Chris, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.920 and this is where I wonder about chemistry. That's the 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.640 big word for the Clippers. Okay, Lou Williams has been 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.200 a model citizen on that team. He was there several 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.640 years now. Last year when they took the Warriors and 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.960 pushed them and won a couple of games. He's a veteran. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.760 Are you telling me you're gonna push him aside in 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.080 crunch time and play I don't know, Marcus Morris or whatever, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.680 Morris Twin they have or Reggie Jackson over the guy 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.439 who's been there. Lou Williams is really the veteran voice 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.160 in that locker room. Nobody listening to Paul George. He 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.000 doesn't want to playoff game around in six years. Kauwhi 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.800 has been there for five minutes. Lou Williams, He's like, 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.240 what are their leaders in the locker room. I'm not 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.360 automatically taking him out in crunch time, but if it 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.760 becomes a problem and they're hunting him and he's not 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:59.559 he's getting abused, yeah, I'm taking him out. Saying about winning, baby, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.040 and I would think Lou wants to win as much 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.360 as anybody else because I still got Kawhi Leonard, who 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.679 is good in the clutch. I still got Paul George, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.160 who was pretty good in the clutch. I got Pat Beverley, 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.000 who we know is the defender. I got Montress. They 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.080 got enough guys Landry Shammon who can hit threes. No, 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.480 I mean all please, they got more depth than the Lakers. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:27.000 None of those I can't Chris, I can't wait. Why's 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.080 not guarding Lebron in the clutch? They're gonna do the 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.000 same thing. They did last time match up hunt the weakness, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.079 whether it's Shammont, whether it's lou They're gonna be attacking 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.880 one of them. No, But but my point is they're 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.319 going to look. I think it's gonna be a wonderful series. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.679 And I definitely think it's gonna be Clippers and Lakers. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.040 I think the Lakers have a shot, have a shot. 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.080 They have a shot. They're not the favorite. Most people 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.959 are picking wait wait time out. According to Vegas, the 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.160 guys who set the line, the Lakers are the favorites 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:02.840 over the Clippers some shots. You're not worried about Vegas. No, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas. 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:07.079 I mean seriously, Like, come on, I mean, I know, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.600 I'm not worried about Vegas. I'm worried about what my 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.640 eyes see, all right, and my eyes see that the 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.840 Clippers are better. And here's the thing, Jay Mack, you 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.480 gotta answer me this. There's two reasons I picked the 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:27.560 Clippers over the Lakers. And there's two. D's depth and dog. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.800 Oh the dog thing is more depth, especially with Avery 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.560 Bradley leading leaving. And they have more dog, especially with 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.520 Avery Bradley leaving. He was one of the Lakers dogs. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.200 I need that dog and the key factor for the 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.560 Lakers that Jared Dudley. Dudley alluded to it. He said, look, 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.400 obviously he didn't say this, but clearly Lebron's their best 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.320 player and their most important player. But we know Lebron's 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.720 gonna deliver, right, we know what he's gonna give us. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:12:01.640 Anthony Davis in fourth quarters, Jay Mack, Anthony Davis is 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:06.120 will be critical against the Clippers. The Clippers have guys 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.000 that can match up against Lebron Kawhi, Leonard Paul George, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.320 Marcus Morris, not shut him down, but keep it so 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.840 he won't just dominate and abuse him and totally take 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.040 over the game the series. But they don't have a 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.920 guy that will match up with Anthony Davis. And so 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.160 in the fourth quarters, Lebron will play well, but he's 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.880 not gonna just own it. Anthony Davis is the guy 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.880 that has to take over. And here's the problem, Jay Mack. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.480 While he's average twenty six points against the Clippers this season, 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:45.559 three games, he scored eight points total in the three 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.959 fourth quarters twenty one total minutes in the fourth quarter, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:54.200 eight points. I need more from a d and you 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.240 do too. If you think the Lakers are gonna win it, 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.080 you're feeling me on that just to yes, I'll get 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.120 to that in a sect, but whole narrative that like 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:06.120 Lebron and the Clippers. Lebron has dominated the Clippers this year, okay, 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.440 in three matches. Here's his lines. Twenty eight points, nine assists, 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:15.360 eight rebounds on Christmas Day twenty three ten and nine okay, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.840 and on Opening night and nine are not great numbers 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.360 for a thirty five year old on near triple double. 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.640 Come on, that was on even his league averages? What 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.520 are you talking about? On opening night? Did struggle a 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.120 bit shooting first game with basically a new team eighteen 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:35.040 ten eight. Lebron has been He's been dominated. He didn't 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.360 even hit his scoring average. What are you talking about? 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.640 He doesn't need to hit his scoring average because he 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.240 wants to get whether it's Kuzma, whether it's Avery Bradley, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.400 whether it's Anthony Davis. He needs to get everybody. Lebron's 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.559 thirty five. Christie can't do what he did in Cleveland 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.240 or Miami. He just can't physically at thirty five do 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:57.400 that anymore. He has become the leader the one game 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.320 they beat the Clippers. He topped his scoring average two 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.000 games where he didn't where you said he didn't need 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.040 to hit the score in average. They lost. It's not 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.880 all about score, I mean, Chris, twenty eight, twenty three. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.559 It's about how many points you got on the board 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.920 or how many points you can create for your team 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.360 to assist this. No, well you can if you're assisting 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:21.560 Avery Bradley on six threes, you certainly can. Chris, he's 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.440 not gonna be in the bubble. But when you mentioned 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.760 dogs and the Clippers got these dogs? What j R? Smith? 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.280 They know dog Dion Waiters, we know he got dog 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.480 in him and a lot of other stuff too. Those 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.080 But Alex Carusoe's got some dog in him. Listen, man, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.840 you keep talking about dogs. You go watch as much 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.680 dog as the Clippers. Okay, I will answer that. Go 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.680 back and watch that March game on YouTube. Blakers Clippers. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.880 Show me who had more dog in him other than 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.120 Patrick Beverley. I don't see a lot of dog in 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.200 Kawai and Paul George and maybe you can say, hey, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:57.800 it's just a regular I don't see the dog in Kawai. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.960 What kind of dog you got? Mont His Harold, he's 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.840 not a montress. Harold's got dog, He's a dog. And 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.360 Patrick Beverley also, But Patrick Beverly is so much more 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.040 bark than his bite, and he's trying to get people 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.960 injured out here. I'm out on Pat. He's got plenty 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.840 of dudes hurt. I still take the Lakers speaking to bite. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:24.880 J mac cam Newton is biting. He's barking. Actually he's barking. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.240 The question is will he be able to bite because 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.200 he's done with something? Done with what? That's the question. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.000 You'll find out next on The Dan Patrick Show, Chris 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.920 and J Mack.

J Mack, who is that ut bad 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:55.280 baby again? I'm educating you. This is when Chris was 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.480 in his prime. I was not even in the womb 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.200 when these guys were dominating. Ue of the greatest R 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.200 and B groups of the seventies and eighties, the Gap Band, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.640 I'll take it. I'll take your word for it. You know, yes, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.960 them and the mamas and the papas. Is that your 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.760 your speed? I like that one song by the Mamas 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.960 and the Papas California dream was that though I have 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.360 no clue, I don't know, but yeah, but anyway, we're 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.280 brought to you by Mercedes. Benz is Chris and j 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.880 Mac filling in on the Dan Patrick Show.

All right, J Mac, 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.680 let's go back to the NFL, and we talked about 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:55.560 Lebron's braggadosha. Right, Revenge season continues soon, and Lebron's got 0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:01.200 three rings and four MVPs to back up that braggadoshi. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.200 Even though I really didn't want him going there. I say, 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.119 just do it on the court because he's backfired on 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.040 even before. But at least he does have the hardware 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:14.359 to back it up. Cam Newton not so much, all right, 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.439 but Cam put out in Instagram a couple instagrams, and 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.199 I'm gonna read it to you, J Mack, and I 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.200 want your viewpoint, all right, here's what Cam said. He 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.159 was working out at the time too. I'm tired of 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:31.680 all this humble explative because when you're humble, they start 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.560 taking advantage of you. When you don't say nothing, they 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.600 start taking advantage of you. The hyena can do, can 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.160 be doing all that he can do. The elephant can 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.760 be doing all did he do. The giraffe, the antelope, 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:50.640 the chimpanzee, the gorilla can be doing all that they do. 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:56.680 But there's one expletive lion in the jungle and when 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:03.080 he roar, everything stops. And I'm about to expletive roar. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.080 What do you think, Jay Mack. I mean, let's be realistic. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.800 Cam Newton's feelings were hurt when the franchise he played 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.160 for his entire career basically kicked him to the curb 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.520 and then nobody wanted him. I mean, teams are jumping 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.120 and grab Jamis and Andy Dalton and nobody touched camp. 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:26.760 And this is where you know. I took a lot 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.760 of heat when I won on Cowherd Show and I 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.600 mentioned Baker Mayfield so obsessed with his phone in social media, 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.800 and now I've been proven right two years later when 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.120 Baker Mayfield said, hey man, I'm dialing back my phone 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.240 usage in social media. Okay, Cam Newton needs to take 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.439 that lesson and apply it. He's listening too much to 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.040 social media. He's reading his Instagram comments, he's reading Twitter, 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.480 and he's watching the YouTube all these takes, and it 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.720 just you could tell that this is impacting him. It's 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.440 getting to him. That's why he's putting out this nonsense. Cam. 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.680 This is about one thing. You're throwing shoulder. You had 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.360 surgery in twenty seventeen. You had surgery in twenty nineteen, 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.199 and you haven't been the same. That's it. If you 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.000 can get the shoulder right, you will be fine. Whether 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.880 that means releasing the ball half a second quicker, not 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.240 taking as many hits, changing your style. Forget about the 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.919 social media nonsense. Cam, this is about playing quarterback. I 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.960 still think Kim can have a resurgence. We know the 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.479 talent is there. You don't win MVP, you don't go 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.960 number one overall. Do what he did at Auburn, immensely talented. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.240 Forget about the social media nonsense. Chris, that's his z. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.680 I think that's step one, step two, focus on your 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.720 shoulder and your game, and he's back. I see I do. 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.760 I was saying, jamac months ago when everybody, when all 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.200 the reporters were saying, Nah, they're not they're not interested, 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.920 they're not going there. And I didn't. I wasn't predicting 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.200 it was gonna happen. I was just saying I would 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.720 like to see it happen. I was saying it should happen. 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:01.639 I was saying, why not, why not Cam Newton and 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:05.800 Bill Belichick in New England together. So I'm glad this happened. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.399 And I do think that if Cam is healthy, he 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.840 will have a resurgent year. He will lead them to 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.199 the playoffs. If he's healthy, I firmly believe that. I 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.240 don't think it's about oh, can he play like time? 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.359 Are you sure he's gonna be the starting quarterback in 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:28.439 Week one? Yes? Why healthy, he's healthy, he will be 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.760 Okay this See, here's what people are forgetting. And you 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:36.159 you kind of mentioned this a little to yourself, Cam Newton, 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.480 people are forgetting. You glossed over it. I should say, yourself, 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:44.800 people are forgetting in twenty eighteen. You remember this as 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.439 twenty eighteen, Cam Newton in the first half of the 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:54.320 season was a monster candidate. Yes, fifteen TVs four picks, 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.520 sixty seven percent completion with North Turner and they were 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.360 six and two of the Panthers and then he got injured. Now, 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.120 he played through it, which is a credit to him, 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.280 but he obviously wasn't able to be very effective. And 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.320 then he got hurt after in the second game last 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:13.399 year and the rest is history. So it's not like 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.280 you have to go back to twenty fifteen to say 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.399 the last time Cam Newton was good. No, you're one 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.199 hundred percent right, Chris. Let me add that when they 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.399 were six and two, there was a Thursday night game 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.240 Carolina at Pittsburgh and I'll never forget it because I 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.360 bet it. I'm like, you know, doing all this gambling 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.920 stuff for Fox, and I was like, listen, Steelers, you 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:35.200 gotta take them here. There's a no brainer. And they murdered, destroyed, 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.679 absolutely eviscerated Cam and the Panthers. And there was a 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.119 hit by t. J. Watt and you can see it 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.080 on YouTube. He puts his helmet right into Cam's shoulder. 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.359 Cam was never the same. There's a crazy picture of 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.280 it and you're like, oh my gosh, just helmet right 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.960 to the shoulder. Cam never recovered. He hasn't won a 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.560 game since that one. Since that defeat on Pittsburgh, he 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.880 hasn't won one NFL football game, right, And like you said, 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.680 the key is him being healthy. But here's what I say. 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.480 Like I I like the fact that Cam has not 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:11.720 let the haters or even the fact that teams didn't, 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.840 you know, weren't lining up to sign him. I'm glad 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.439
