1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Hello, welcome inside our two of the DP 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Jason Smith, Ryan Hollins 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: in for Dan and the Danettes today. They're coming up 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: in a couple minutes. We have big news out of 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: the Olympics. We still have the Olympics, but things are 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: gonna be quite different. But before we get to that, 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: I promised this a few minutes ago. Last night, Yankees 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: beat the Mariners five four. Okay, oh, the Yankees win. No, 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: this is not a conversation about Aaron Boone or everybody 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: getting fired. It's audio that you just have to hear 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: because it's absolutely priceless. So Aaron Judge homers for the 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Yankees last night as part of the Yankees win. Now 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: the second time he comes up, John Sterling, longtime Yankee 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: play by play man, you're doing the play by play 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: of the game. He's working remotely, all right, so still 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: a lot of MLB teams don't have their broadcast teams 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: traveling to sites. So he's doing the game and calling 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: the game off a monitor. Now, apparently he must have 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: looked away because he thought when Aaron judged up into 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: the batter's box. He hit another home run, except what 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: they did was they showed a replay of his home 23 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: run from earlier in the game. But John Sterling thought 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: it was real. And here's how that call sounded. High. 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: Here is judge man, the breaking ball is hit in 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: the air to deep left. That ball is high, it 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: is far, head is gone. Unfortunately, that was a replay 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: of the home run. But it was a good replay. Hey, 29 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's on the monitor. Am I supposed to do? 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: This is a great way to do a game in 31 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: it Yep, yep. Oh just looked away for a second 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: and oh it's a home run. And he got he 33 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: got the uh he got? What happens, like Ryan, when 34 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: when you go out and watch football on Sunday and 35 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: in the you know, in a bar, and when there's 36 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: everybody is around, and somebody gets like a live replay 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: of something for the first time, and they stand up 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: and they're yelling, oh, go go go, and people go replay, replay, 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: and the guy sits down doesn't say anything. Um the joys. 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: As Susan Waltman, his co host, said, of doing games remotely, 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: I know you've done games remotely. Is it like that. 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: Do you look up sometimes ago what's happening? What are 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: they showing? And I gotta get going on this? Well, 44 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: I just I'm gonna lean on the producers that much more. 45 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: You know, the producers are the ones, the guys behind 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: the scenes making things happen. That that's who you lean on, 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, when you're calling the game, and I've I've 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: had a blunder, but I wouldn't say that type of 49 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: blunder where you know you kind of have to sit 50 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: back and and wait until the play happens, you know, 51 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: before you jump out there. Um so I've jumped in 52 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: on some replays. I remember one time the play by 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: play guy his WiFi cuts out and for like darn 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: there a quarter of a I had a chance to 55 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: call some remote u G League games this year. You know, 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm doing play by playing the calls, and I'm like, 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, like the poor person at home who 58 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: has to suffer and listen to do this. Okay, the worst, 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: the worst thing ever. Listen, Hey, Jason, if there's not anything, brother, 60 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: I love it, appreciate you for what you're doing on 61 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: the other side. Okay, I don't I don't want to 62 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: come in or out of breaks or tease anything. All right, 63 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: that's what you should have called me. I would I 64 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: would have hopped on for you and called the action 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: so you didn't have to go, what a what a 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: shot by that? Ryan? How do you think? Well, I'm 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: glad you asked me that, Ryan, Thanks for telling me that. 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: I mean, is it is it just the case of 69 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: when it happens because something happens on the monitor in 70 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: front of you, or you don't. Is it just like 71 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: you if you look away for a second, something like 72 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: what is it that does that for you? If you 73 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: get hit out of rhythm? And sometimes you know, the 74 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: producer do excellent job. They'll come in with a you know, 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: it'll be a read, possibly a replay. There's different things 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: that are coming in, so you know, you gotta be 77 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: ready for what's coming your way. So you know, if 78 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: you're not listening or you know, I'll hit that talkback button. 79 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: For those who don't know, the talkback button is how 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: you you're not heard on the airways, but you can 81 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: talk to the producers behind the scene. I'll say, Hey, 82 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: is this our stuff right here? Is this a go? 83 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: What do we tell me? Blatan? What are we doing? 84 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: Coming out of the break. You'll hear me ask that 85 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: a millions out what are we doing coming out of 86 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: the break? You know, you gotta be overly clear, especially 87 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: especially when working remotely and doing a broadcast. Now, remote 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: radio is one thing, right, just kind of it's it's 89 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: just kind of like being on a phone conversation, a 90 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: very long phone conversation. But ultimately, when you're calling the game, 91 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: it is tough because you come out of break in 92 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: different ways that you gotta be on your p's and 93 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: q's with that man, and you know, maybe he was, 94 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: you know, playing with this cat behind the scenes or something. 95 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: Who knows. Man, This is where the producer says, all right, listen, 96 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: just in the pre show meeting, you gotta hold Hollands 97 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: his hand the entire game, right, He's always gonna ask 98 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: what's going on and what we're doing. Just explain it 99 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: to him and then let him go out. I know 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be frustrating because he's gonna ask you all 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: the time what's going on, Judge. Just talk to him 102 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: and he'll be all good with the broadcast. So, hey, 103 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: doing games remotely, right, is there that much of a difference, 104 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: Because when I when watching from home unless you see 105 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: a mistake like this. We're kind of used to that now, 106 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, we kind we've kind of seen that. And look, 107 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: you've now different leagues have opened the door to do 108 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: we really need to pay for for people to travel? 109 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Can Can we still call the games as long as 110 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: it's a good enough setup, Like I don't think for 111 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: a second if you have somebody in their house and 112 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: they're trying to watch a game on one monitor, that's 113 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: a good setup. But if you have it, if if 114 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: you have it where hey, you're coming into our studio 115 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: and you're gonna watch the game is on like seven 116 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: different TVs and we have all the technology you need 117 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: and the producers can come in and talk to you. 118 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: Is there that much of a difference in doing the 119 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: game from from being there live too? If you were 120 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: doing it calling it remotely, if you're well, you'd always 121 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: want to be with your partner, that's the best. But 122 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: if you don't have a rapport with your play by 123 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: play guy from the analyst side already, that can be off. 124 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: Because everybody has nuances, Okay, Like Jason, you know my 125 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: nuances all right, so you kind of know when I'm 126 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: getting in when I'm getting out, like, whether we're here, 127 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: whether we're across the world, is gonna be a good 128 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: show for the most part. But when we're working with 129 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: someone that I don't know, I'm a little more careful. 130 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: You know. I don't like to jump in. I don't 131 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: like to step on toes, you know, because the worst 132 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: thing you want to be doing, Jason, you know it 133 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: is to be talking at the same time, not talking 134 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: to each other at the same time, but just talking 135 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: at the same time or stepping on each other's toes. 136 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: So that's the toughest part is synchronizing. And like I said, 137 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: if it's someone that you haven't worked with before, you 138 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: don't know the nuances. You know, you don't have the 139 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: feel of the arena, you don't have the adrenaline pumping 140 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: through your veins of being there. But just it's it's 141 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: a it's a fine tool man. Peanut butter and jelly 142 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: don't grow on trees, you know what I'm like. It 143 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: ain't peanut butter and and something else. It's peedup butter 144 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: and jelly. Okay, So when you fight Jason Smith working 145 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: with Ryan Hollins, you just close your eyes and you 146 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: know you you throw the Jason you throwed a lib 147 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: but with your eyes cool.

If my job was to 296 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: watch the game and broadcast on it and then I 297 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: still wound up saying a goal when it was a replay, 298 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: and then I would have had issues with it.

Hey, we're coming 326 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: out of the pandemic. You know, we're gonna get to 327 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: do this. Look, we have all the we have all 328 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: the athletes that are here. They're all mixing together and 329 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: they're all competing, and this is going to be a 330 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: big moment of bringing everyone together across the globe. And 331 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: now it's lost a lot of its teeth for that. Yeah. Man, 332 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: And this is tough because you have people and obviously 333 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: we know COVID as COVID, but it's as far as 334 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: the as far as the playoff excuse, as far as 335 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: the Olympics. People have planned for years, man, I mean 336 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: literal years to go out and watch the Olympics. And 337 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: sometimes you're gonna have some first timers there, you're gonna 338 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: have some only timers there at the Olympics that have 339 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: people that have actually qualified. So I think this it's tough, 340 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: but I understand it, and I get it because COVID 341 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: has so many different variants. And please don't I'm not 342 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: claiming to be a medical professional, but just seeing from 343 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: the outside in, there's so many different variants that you're 344 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: bringing people from around the world to step into one 345 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: stadium and in one place. And if if COVID sparks 346 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: back up or we you know, we get a strand 347 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: we're not comfortable and we're not used to. Man, this 348 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: could set the row of back. We know how Hey Jason, 349 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: I know how far we've been set back from what 350 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: we've seen. But and I do not want to see 351 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: another setback. Man. No, I don't want to see it either. 352 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: That's why. That's why it's tough. But I get it. 353 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Like I like, there's certain times during this year where 354 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: sports has has shown me, hey, we're we're getting there. 355 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: We're getting back, right, like seeing seeing fans at baseball 356 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: status the moment that Hey, we're getting back.

We talked about the Bucks last hour, and 461 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: what you know I talked about I think they need 462 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: to do if they're gonna win tonight. If I gave 463 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: you the film the Blank Line, Ryan, and I said, okay, 464 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: for the Suns to win game two, this is what 465 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: has to happen. What do you tell me. You gotta 466 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: keep making adjustments, you know, play to whatever the defense 467 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: gives you. Believe in what you've been doing. You know, 468 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: find the hot hand and aiden keep rolling to the 469 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: rim strong Chris, uh, you know, read the read the 470 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: one on one matchups. Keep beating your one on one matchups, 471 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: and and be a playmaker. Once you get into the lane, 472 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: stay aggressive to your left hand when you get to 473 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: the lane, into the lane and you score a high clip. 474 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: This is a different team. You know. When Chris scores 475 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: at the rim, the Sun's become upstoppable. And when I 476 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: played with Chris, when he got to the rim and scored, 477 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: it was tough because now you have to put an 478 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: extra defender or put a little more help over there. 479 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: You gotta rotate more. So Chris can scored the rim. 480 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: To me, that's everything for his game. Uh, Devin Booker, 481 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't care how many shots you miss or make. 482 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: You keep getting to the line, You stay aggressive, and 483 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: you be the best player that you can be because 484 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: you got a big dog over here cleaning, cleaning the 485 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: glass and aiden. So I think this is the beautiful 486 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: part for the Suns is they're in a sweet spot 487 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: where they just have to keep being them and they 488 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: don't have to do anything special because I don't I don't. 489 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, like what changes does Milwaukee have? What adjustments? 490 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: So you know, can they I'm sure they can make 491 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: what are they willing better? Yet? So to make well, 492 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: that's Mike Buttenholzer. You know, he doesn't like to change, 493 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, really quick, you know. And that's the thing 494 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: is that when you're too stubborn, that gets to you. 495 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: Look at got to the Knicks in the playoffs, We're 496 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: gonna play defense like we have all season long. Trey 497 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Young is killing you, killing you. You gotta figure nine. No, No, 498 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: this is what got us here. This is what got 499 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: us here. And that's kind of what the Bucks have 500 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: been doing, so, yeah, they have to make sure. Let's 501 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: adjust and let's make sure we try to stop Chris 502 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: Paul first and let the other guys beat us. You know, 503 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: That's where I am with the Bucks. But for the Suns, 504 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, just to to to just 505 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: narrow it down a bit, is that if Devin Booker 506 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: turns back into Devin Booker, it doesn't matter what the 507 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: Bucks are gonna do because O're not gonna be able 508 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: to st both him and Chris Paul. But Devin Booker 509 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: has struggled big time shooting the basketball since Game one 510 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: of the Clippers series. He's not shot well, He's thirty 511 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: five percent from the floor. If he goes back to 512 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: being Devin Booker and and suddenly, you know, all his 513 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: shots into a thirty five or thirty eight point game, 514 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the Bucks do. But really the key 515 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: for me is him, because if the Bucks try to 516 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: make him beat them, which is what they should do, 517 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: and Booker has another night where he shoots eight for 518 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: twenty five from the from the field, I mean that 519 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna play right in the Bucks hands. That's how 520 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: the Bucks win the game. Yeah, no, no, You're right, Uh, 521 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: defense is gonna be huge and they couldn't get stops 522 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: on Chris Paul. And you know, like you said, I 523 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: hear you. Are you is a guy who's thirty six 524 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: years of age and had some injury history. Is he 525 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna beat you that? You know all series long? You 526 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: know how much is he going to have to work? Um? 527 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: And you know, I want to address something another two, Jason, 528 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: I don't think the question is that, Okay, the Bucks 529 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: are switching too much and there a team that didn't 530 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: switch before is because you put Broke Lopez in a 531 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: situation where he has to switch. Clearly, you got to 532 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: have common sense and not play drop coverage, which means 533 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: that you leave a big gap between the ball hand 534 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: which is Devin Book or Chris Paul and the defender 535 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: behind him where he can just shoot a wide opened 536 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: mid range shot. You're going to have to make changes 537 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: that may take brook Lopez off the floor of not 538 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: play him as many minutes as he's played. And I 539 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: know how huge he is to the Bucks roster, but 540 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: in playoff situations, they're gonna pick on you play after 541 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: playoff to play, they go and pick on a week 542 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: matchup So I don't know if it's that that's switching 543 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: is a problem, and so you gotta have switching personnel. 544 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: And that's why we don't fall in love with a 545 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: lot of teams. And if Brooke is on the floor, 546 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: you have to make guys pay. On the other end, 547 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: if Jay Crowder's Garden, Brook Lopez Jason, you had to 548 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: give him the ball on the block, and the Bucks 549 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: don't make those adjustments. Fox Sports Radio The Dan Patrick 550 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: showed Jason Smith Ryan Hollins in for Dan and the Danette. 551 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: So there's Big Dog's take on it. Joining us now 552 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: on the Hotline, sports enterprise reporter for the Watchington Post, 553 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: long time NBA insiders covered the league for nineteen seasons. 554 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: It's Michael Lee, Michael, what's happening, man? Hey, you know, 555 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: just uh, relaxing, all right, getting ready for the game too. 556 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, So let me ask you, Let wait, 557 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: let me let me, let me bring in a conversation 558 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: we're having here on the show. Ryan thinks he's crazy. 559 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: He's like the only person who's not heard of the 560 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: phrase double vaccination, like forgetting the vaccine, Like he didn't 561 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: know the phrase double vax Is that on him? For 562 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: not knowing it, or is that something that's okay, wait, wait, 563 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: double vax? What do you mean double vax the getting 564 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine, when you get the fires or of 565 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: the madaria. You have to get both shots. That's called 566 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: when you get both it's double vacs. He had never 567 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: heard of that term and thought he had to go 568 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: out and get like two more vaccinations. Na. See when 569 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: you say double it, that means double it. That means 570 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I get four shots. Oh see, we don't see, thank you, 571 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm not alone vax right because because because you because 572 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: you're not vaxed the first time, the first shot, you're 573 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: not vac how yes, how scary? Did did that sound 574 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: for a second? Because I heard I heard you tremble 575 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: a little bit, brother, Mike, Are you Mike? It scared you? 576 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: Like it scared me? Right? Yeah? I was like, wait, 577 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: I gotta go back now. All right, So I clearly 578 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: I've lost this argument here for a while. Okay, so 579 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: let's go. Let's get to the finals here. You know, 580 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: I just hit Ryan with this with this question about 581 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: what the Suns need to do if they're gonna take 582 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: Game two, and we talked about Devin Booker needing to 583 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: turn back into Devin Booker. Can the Suns win this 584 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: series if he's who he's been for the past six 585 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: or seven games? Um, you mean you mean, how do 586 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: you mean? Well? Who? He's been struggling shooting the basketball. 587 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: He's been like thirty five percent from the field. Hasn't 588 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: really been Devin Booker since Game one of the series 589 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: against Clippers. Well, I mean I think, yeah, a team 590 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: just kind of figured out just to be really overly 591 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: physical with him and kind of push him out of 592 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: out of his spots and force him to take difficult shots. 593 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 1: Um that just don't adjustment he's gonna have to make. Um, 594 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: They've been able to win without him being at the 595 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: highest level. So I think they still can because they 596 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of other weapons. And I think the 597 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: fact that there's so much focus and attention on Devin 598 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: Booker it opens up the floor for Aiden and for 599 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: Chris Paul and for Michael Ridges and for so many 600 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: other guys to get these open looks. So he's actually 601 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: doing his job. I mean, he may not be having monsters, 602 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, performances and putting up big scoring numbers. I mean, 603 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: as I was getting to the foul line. But I 604 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: think that he's doing his job in terms of open 605 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: up the floor for his teammates. So yeah, they've proven 606 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: that they're winning, you know, without him having a you know, 607 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: a great shooting night. But he's still able to you know, 608 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: produce points. And I think he has value in that 609 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: just from the attention he draws. Mike, I played ten 610 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: years in the NBA, was never a superstar, but no championships. 611 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: I came a game away from making it to the 612 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: NBA finals. So for me to say and think it's 613 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: a fair statement, it's safe to say there's a strong 614 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: chance Jannis onto the Cooper and Chris Paul never make 615 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: it back to the NBA finals. The rest of that, 616 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: there's a strong chance they possibly don't make it back. 617 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: Let's let's say I'm right who winning an NBA championship 618 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: this year? Would this mean more for obviously Chris Paul. 619 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't. I can't rule out of Yannis 620 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: right now. He's just twenty six years old, um and 621 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: he's already a two time MVP, and he's making his 622 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: first final trip. This is Chris Paul's first trip at 623 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: thirty six. I mean, this is a major for him. Um, 624 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get at this time, who's to say 625 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: he'll be back in this position. I think Finnix is 626 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: built for the long haul. I think they're gonna be 627 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: a perennial contender based on the talent they have, the 628 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: young soccer talent they have. But I mean, Chris may 629 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: never be in his position. He may not ever be 630 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 1: as fortunate as he was this year to have so 631 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: many of the opponents getting hurt um, you know, and 632 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: then having you know, being able to take advantage of 633 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: those situations. Yannis on the other hand, I honestly I'm 634 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: never going to count him out at twenty six. He 635 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: still had a long way to go m on his career, 636 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: and I think he's one of the greatest greatest best 637 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: players in the game right now, could potentially become an 638 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: all time great just always already accomplished. Chris Paul's gotta 639 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: get it now. You don't think he was fortunate too 640 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: on his side, Yeah, to reach the finals. Yeah, but 641 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: I still think that he's got room to improve his game, 642 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: The Bucks have room to improve the team. I mean, 643 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: he's already a two time MVP, so at twenty six, again, 644 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: he's got at least ten more years probably in this league. 645 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: I think he's got a better shot than Chris Paul, 646 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: who's definitely seen, you know, played his best basketball right now. 647 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: It's just about closing and getting that ring. Michael, does 648 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: he look healthy enough to you to be able to 649 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: dominate like Yannis normally does. He's moved around pretty well. 650 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: In the first game. Yeah, I mean that that that 651 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: chasedown block was probably one of the most impressive things 652 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: I've seen, especially coming off a bum knee. But he 653 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: didn't have that explosion. He didn't have that that dominant, 654 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, presence that you expect from Yannest when he's 655 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: out there on the floor. It it sort of felt 656 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: like he was sort of playing a preseason game, just 657 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: trying to eat himself where back into the rhythm of 658 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: the basketball. You can't do that in the finals because 659 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: that's the highest level of intensity and everybody else is 660 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: going full speed. It felt like he was going and 661 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, at like seventy percent. And I think part 662 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: of that is because he's got to gain confidence in 663 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: that knee again and he's got a trust that he 664 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: can do what he wants to do. And I remember 665 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: the picture from the Championship elebraation is he looks a 666 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: little swollen. I know he's got the rap on there, 667 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: and so I know he's playing through a lot of pain. 668 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be hard for him to do it 669 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: because we all know how much Yannis. This game is 670 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: relied upon speed, athleticism, and quickness, and if he doesn't 671 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: have that, he has to adjust, and that's going to 672 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: be a difficult adjustment to make in the most intense 673 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: stage of om all Michael, when you look at how 674 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: this series can unfold from here on now, like I 675 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: gave Ryan the statement, Okay, the Suns win, if what happens, 676 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: I throw this to you for the Bucks. The Bucks 677 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: come back and win this series. If what happens for 678 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: them over the course of the rest of the series, 679 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: if they remember that they're a big team. They are 680 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: the big team when they when they smashed the Hawks 681 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: these last two games without a Yannis, they won because 682 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: they pound to the ball inside and they use the 683 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: fact that they got Drew Holiday you can do things 684 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: in the post. They got Brook Lopez, who, even though 685 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: he's a great three point shooter now at the stage 686 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: in his career, he also a guy that can do 687 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: things in the low block as well. Yannis is a 688 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: seven footer. I mean when you look at you know, 689 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: Eighten is a great defensive player. But if he's out 690 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: there by himself while they're just going right at him, 691 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: get them in foul trouble or just trying to use 692 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: their height to their advantage, I think that's that's where 693 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: they have the edge. They didn't really utilize that. If 694 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: you if you got big guys just out there shooting jumpers, 695 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: then you're basically leveling the field for the Suns to 696 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: just run you off the floor. But if you can 697 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: kind of slow the game down a bit and really 698 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: just you know, smashed them inside and forced them adjust, 699 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: then I think you got a good chance. You know, 700 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: you just talked about Yannis being twenty six in the future, 701 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: being bright. Well, let's talk about the Suns a little bit. 702 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: Let's say Chris Paul moves forward like you said, you know, 703 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: he may not have a lot of time left, so 704 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: you see the sense of urgency in the way he 705 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: walks and plays the game, aim and his playing right now. 706 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: But how optimistic are you in you know, Aiden and 707 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: Booker being the next superstars, next faces of the league. 708 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: Where what do these guys go from here? Do you 709 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: still see a huge upward trajectory or is this just 710 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, it just kind of it is what we're 711 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: going to get from them. Nah. I've been thoroughly impressed 712 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: by them. I mean, Chris Paul's got an all the 713 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: attention because he's a name that must people recognize, but 714 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: he's missed a couple of games this postseason and they've 715 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: been able to win without them. They won the first 716 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: two games of the Conference finals without them, and I 717 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: think that that stuff goes a long way and fling 718 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: your confidence. We know what the bubble experience did for 719 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: them last year, but they're really doing it in the postseason. 720 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: They're doing it against the MVP. Yok, They're doing it 721 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: against um, you know, Paul George and the Clippers. They're 722 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: doing it against the Lakers. I mean, so they're they've 723 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: got confidence in who they are, and they kind of 724 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: remind me. I don't want to necessarily see they're set 725 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: for this kind of run or anything, but they remind 726 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: me of a team that came out of nowhere, like 727 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: the Warriors, where that first championship they won in twenty fifteen, 728 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: it was kind of dismissed. It's like they got lucky, 729 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: you know, because they played a bunch of injured teams 730 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: on the on the road, and the Clippers blew a 731 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: chance to face him in the US, and so I 732 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: mean even Darc Rivers said that they were lucky. So 733 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: everybody's thought the Warriors were just going to be a 734 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: team that kind of snucky and got a ring, got out, 735 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: and they're a team that's been relatant. They were relevant 736 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: for the next five years. So I'm not saying it's 737 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 1: under that kind of team, but I think that when 738 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: you have this unun this position, you have success, all 739 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: it does is feed It makes you hungrier. And I 740 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: got like Aiden, who's finally getting the attention and recognition 741 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: that he's long saw a guy like Devin Booker's in 742 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: the same position. They're gonna come away from this's feeling like, 743 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: oh man, y'all can't touch me next year, especially guy 744 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: like Yokis. I mean, the guy like um Aiden, who 745 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: who already you know, played great dan Yo kich Um 746 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: and he's had some success this postseason that can only 747 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: just make him want to be bigger and better next 748 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: year and make the All Star team. Do all the 749 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: type of things that he hasn't done yet. So I 750 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: the tremendous upside for this group. It's covered the NBA 751 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: for nineteen season Sports enterprise reporter for the Washington Post. 752 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: You can fall on Twitter at mister Michael Lee. That's 753 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: at mister Michael Lee. Michael has always appreciate your time. 754 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: Let's my friend, enjoy the games. We'll talk to you. 755 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: Appreciate Mike Hey, thank you for me home. Take care. 756 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: All right, there goes Michael Lee. Are you with him 757 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: that that the Sons are built for the long haul 758 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,919 Speaker 1: because this, you know, the pandemic championship that we're seeing 759 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: here with so many guys getting hurt and and teams 760 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: running their teams a different way with signing free agents, 761 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: not knowing what the season was going to be. Are 762 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 1: the Sun's a long haul team for you? That they're 763 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: built to succeed more than just this year? Yeah? I 764 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: believe in Devin Booker m playoff basketball finals. Basketball is 765 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: completely different than any other basketball that you're gonna see. 766 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: So well, you may say there's some holes in his game, 767 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: or you know, excellent point about the physicality bothering him. 768 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: Guys being gonna beat you up and put their hands 769 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: on United and night Out. Devin Booker, we had at 770 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: Earl Watson on the podcast. Nevin put it obsessive enough 771 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: to go out in the summers and work on what 772 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: he needs to get better at to succeed at a 773 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: high level. He idolizes Kobe Bryant had a chance to, 774 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, grow close to him before he passed, So 775 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 1: I think that the future is bright. And DeAndre Aiden's 776 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: kind of found a real sweet spot in the league 777 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: and said, Hey, I'm not gonna go out and try 778 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: to be Tim Duncan. I'm gonna be David Robinson. You know, 779 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a twenty rebound, twenty point type of 780 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: guy and just set excellent screens, rim run and like 781 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: put my athleticism on display. Like he's found a really 782 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: sweet spot that I think it's is a lost art 783 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: because some you know, some of the big men are 784 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: forced to Hey man, I gotta shoot more threes. I 785 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: gotta you know, be a point guard. And Eton is 786 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: just in this amazing place and people don't know Jason 787 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: and used to run the wing in high school. So 788 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,399 Speaker 1: for him to play the paint, he's accepted. Hey, through 789 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: Monty Williams. What does my team need of me? This 790 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: is how they can excel. I'm gonna step up and 791 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: do it. So I'm just really excited if those those 792 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: two guys moving forward, and like I said, experience is 793 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: always king man. They've seen what it looks like now. 794 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Ryan Hollins in for Dan and the dan 795 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: 's Today we got more NBA on the way, so 796 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: Ryan's believing in the long term success of the Signs. 797 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: But for Chris Paul and Jannis, the finals comes down 798 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: to one word.

Really, you know, 820 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: the two players the finals are about the most or 821 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: Chris Paul and Janisnica Kunpo. And if you're looking at 822 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: who's under more pressure to win, because clearly both of 823 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: them have the sense of urgency because yeah, of course 824 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: both guys really really want to win. You know, you 825 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: look at Chris Paul and go, okay, well, the pressure 826 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: is on him to win because you know he may 827 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: not get back to the finals. I kind of disagree 828 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: with that, Ryan, because you know, his legacy was sealed 829 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: when he got to the conference finals. As he is, 830 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: and it's he's a point god, the top five point 831 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: guard of all time. That was the reaction. Look, everybody 832 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: likes Chris Paul. He's got a great reputation. He gets 833 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: to the conference finals and it's look at Chris Paul. 834 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: If he loses, the reaction is going to be, Oh, 835 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: it's too bad, but what a great year, what a 836 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: capper to his career. Chris Paul is. If Yannis loses, 837 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,959 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like Lebron light where it no matter 838 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: what Jannis does for many people, it's not gonna be enough. Look, 839 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: he's very polarizing. Yannis is great, but why can't he 840 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: get to the finals? They're great in the regular season, 841 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: they fall short. Now they get to the finals. Why 842 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: couldn't they win? It's on Janniss. Yannis is fault. There's 843 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: more pressure on him because of the doubters that are 844 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: going to continue to pile on if he doesn't win. 845 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: Whereas for Chris Paul, if he doesn't win, his legacy 846 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: is secure and look, and Lebron is walking around going, wait, 847 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: a guy can just get to the conference finals and 848 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: people say all kinds of great things about him. I 849 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: get to the NBA Finals with nobody in losing. It's 850 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: Lebron doesn't do enough. You know, clearly the pressure is 851 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: more on Yannis. No, no, no, listen, Jannis is gonna 852 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: be under fire. But I think we've kind of conceded 853 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: of what Jannis is. He's two time MVP and he 854 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 1: got a Defensive Player of the Year award there, and 855 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us, you know, expect him 856 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: to turn into Kevin Durant or Lebron James. Now he 857 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: has a chance, possibly once those guys hang it up, 858 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: that maybe he could fall somewhere in the middle of 859 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: you know, or on the tail end, with the right 860 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: pieces around him to be one of those guys. But 861 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: in terms of Chris, this was the big knock on 862 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: his career is that he didn't show up in all 863 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: these big, major playoff games. And at the end of 864 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: the day, we are going to look back and we're 865 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, man, it was the most fortunate NBA 866 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: finals ever. But guess what, you know, Steve Nash doesn't 867 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: have a championship. You know, Johnny Stockton couldn't beat Michael 868 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: Jordan just one time, just once, you know, in the finals. 869 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: So you know, Chris Paul, even though he never got 870 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 1: an MVP, this is gonna be a huge you know, 871 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a lot of people are lead 872 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: proguing him into the top five all time. I'm not 873 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: quite gonna do that. But this is huge for him, 874 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: trust me, because he doesn't have this, and at his age, 875 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna credit it a little more. And for a 876 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: guy who plays the political card the right way, and 877 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: you know it is in a lot of people's favor 878 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 1: because I respected he is through his career. This is 879 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: huge for Chris Paul. I can't say I can't minimize this. 880 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: Our kids say it's more for Giannis. Well, no, of course, 881 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,479 Speaker 1: it's big. Look like I said, both guys, of course, 882 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: really really want to win. It's a legacy thing. But 883 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: none of those players you mentioned, whether it was Steve 884 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: Nash or John Stockton, none of them have the reputation 885 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: of Chris Paul. In that he is so well liked 886 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: by the media, by fans, by other players. It's no 887 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: one's gonna sit back and say, yeah, well, that's his fault. 888 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: They didn't win. That's all on Chris Paul. He's not 889 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: gonna get one ounce of blame, even if he stinks 890 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: the the way he shots two for nineteen in every 891 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: game and they lose, He's not gonna get any of 892 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: that plane he's gonna get well, he ran out of gas. 893 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: He's an older player. When you like players, when players 894 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: are liked, more excuses are more made for me. This 895 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: is not to say this is what's going to happen 896 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: in the finals, but when you have that kind of 897 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 1: reputation and you have an image that you are liked, 898 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get nearly the daggers that you're gonna 899 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: get if you're a polarizing player. And Yannis because of 900 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: how talented he is, right, will we think he should 901 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: be doing this just what you know? He should be 902 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: doing it better, He should be winning already. I mean 903 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: CP three's reputation plays a lot into this. It does. 904 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: It is huge, But there's a lot of people that 905 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,919 Speaker 1: are realist out there now, and you know they don't 906 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: have him. I look, I didn't have him about Westbrook 907 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: until this run. He needs it to jump Westbrook. Even 908 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: in my mind, if you look at those career stats, 909 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: Westbrook has him Twitter at how about Afresca Ryan at 910 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: the Ryan Hollins at CP three? Is it Gianni's Twitter 911 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: at how about Afresca Ryan at the Ryan Hollins Jason 912 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: spread Ryan Hollins for Dan Patrick. Coming up next, we'll 913 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: take a look ahead at Game two and find out 914 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: the one thing the Bucks need to do if they're 915 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: going to get back in the series and tie it up. 916 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 1: Fox
