Yes, that is a 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: calendar photo. We weren't able to do it. There was 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: a lack of equipment from what I'm told was that 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: the official excuse or I couldn't get a wide enough 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: lens there. Dan so Seaton is shooting. We're shooting iconic 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: album covers and I was ready yesterday. I thought we 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: had the French Kid coming over with his camera seton 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: was going to be naked in my pool, and then 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: I was told equipment didn't arrive. Is that what it was? 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: Some type of equipment failure? You can make your own joke. Yes, boy, 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: was Seaton moments before going to be in your powder 27 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: room like Dirk Diggler like in uh, yeah, you're a star, 28 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: You're a star, You're a star. Yes, you're saying he's 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a six tool player in this calendar. He's 30 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: not a six tool player. No, oh my god. Aaron 31 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Boone was with us and we were talking about Derek 32 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Jeter and I said I was a five tool host. 33 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: I was sort of like the Derek Jeter of host. 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: And he said, well, he's a six tool player and 35 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: I I, you know, he was using that the other 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: tool for being clutch, and I of course went in 37 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: a different direction. They said, oh with the ladies. And 38 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: his reaction is that's like a meme, I think because 39 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: he went what like, I think he thought he had 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: said something when he didn't. I just led my perverted 41 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: mind to lead him that way. Lakers played their first 42 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: home playoff game in eight years last night. Now, they 43 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: won the title in the Bubble last year, but they 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: haven't been in LA for the postseason since twenty thirteen. 45 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: Even though, well, you had the seasons with Kobe, you 46 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: had Dwight Howard. It didn't work and they return home 47 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: as a number seven seed. But it's clear they're no underdogs. 48 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: You know, they were bigger, got to the free throw line, 49 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: they dominated on the glass, in the paint, and they 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: won one ninety five. And I was judging the reaction 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: of the Lakers bench. When the bench starts to have fun, 52 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: then you feel like the team has confidence that, hey, 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: we're we got this under control. Now you have this 54 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: under control with the Phoenix Suns because they don't have 55 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: a rim protector Anthony Davis. You know last night scored 56 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: thirty four, but you got Lebron and a D you 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: play really good defense. And then we're wondering, do the 58 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: MAVs knock off the Clippers? And if that's the case, 59 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: then who is that next team that might be able 60 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: to step up. I don't want to discount the Utah 61 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Jazz any more. Than we probably already have. But you 62 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: got a deep team, you got some veterans there, you 63 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: got home court, you got a rim protector, and Rudy Gobert, Donovan, Mitchell, 64 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: Mike Conley. They got it and they shoot the three. 65 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: That that is a formidable team. And there are certain 66 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: teams that are built for the regular season, certain teams 67 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: or built for the postseason. I don't know if utalls 68 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: built for the postseason, because you have to be able 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: to win when you're not playing great. Some teams during 70 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: the regular season, all right, you know we can go 71 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: from this opponent to that opponent. Houston Rockets would do 72 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: this occasionally, you know where you know they would be 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: great during the regular season. Entertaining during the regular season, 74 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: can you win a game that you have to win, 75 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: not Hey we lost a game in Memphis, no worries, 76 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: We're going to Orlando. Plus also, playoff basketball is just different. 77 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: It's more physical half court and you're not able to 78 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: just have free reign there and you start to see 79 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: you saw that with Devin Booker last night where he 80 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: pushed Dennis Shrewder. I get it's a little more physical. 81 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Everything means more. And that's where you want to see 82 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: can a team step up? Can the Milwaukee Bucks win 83 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: four games against the Sixers? Can they win four games 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: again the Nets? I don't know, but I picked the 85 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: Bucks to go to the NBA Finals. The Lakers, I 86 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: don't think you can beat them. If Anthony Davis and 87 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: Lebron are healthy, you're not gonna beat them. Furs, You're 88 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: not gonna win four games out of seven. It's not 89 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: going to happen. And then you got the maps with 90 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: the Clippers season today. I mean it feels like Portland 91 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: Portland's future and the Clippers future is started, you know, 92 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: sort of hanging in the balance here because I don't 93 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: know what happens in Portland other than Terry Stotts. Their 94 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: coach will probably get fired. And then do you start 95 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: to look at this roster and go, we need to 96 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: do something different. And then you have the Clippers. Clippers 97 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: don't have a good supporting cast. But I don't know 98 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: how people thought. There were people who last year said 99 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: the Clippers and this year didn't learn their lessons and 100 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: said the Clippers. Luke Kennard Sergeibaca, like these are your 101 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: off season acquisitions. Well, Luke Kennard is not playing because 102 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: of matchup problems. Sir Jebaca, you're the Clippers now, granted 103 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: you can say the Lakers Marcus Saul all right, but 104 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: Dennis Shrewder was a really good pickup for this team. 105 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: But if you're in the West, can you win four 106 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: games against the Lakers, and if they're healthy, I don't 107 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: think you can. And in the East, can you beat 108 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: the Nets four games? And the only reason why I 109 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: picked the Bucks was because I thought, can the Nets 110 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: stay healthy? And I don't know, you know, for the 111 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: next couple of playoff series, but I do think Milwaukee 112 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: is an underdog, makes them extremely dangerous, and they're up 113 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: three games to none. We'll talk to Jeff Van Gundy, 114 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: the analyst for the Mothership. He'll join us coming up. 115 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: Frank Vogel, the Laker head coach, talked about what Lebron 116 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: and Anthony Davis did last night. A d even though 117 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: at you know, was was dinged up with his knee 118 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: and it was a little bit hobbled, really committed to 119 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: what worked for us in game two, which is really 120 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: running the floor, being the first big down, putting pressure 121 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: on their transition defense and had opened up a lot 122 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: of driving lanes for Braun who mentally made the you know, 123 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the decision, you know, to get downhill and just live 124 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: in the paint and live at the rim. He was 125 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: dominant baronet stretch and you are those two guys really 126 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: reversed the whole course of the game. Yeah, and they 127 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: shot eighty percent from the line, eighty six percent from 128 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: the line, got fifty eight points in the paint. You 129 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: should win the Yes, you're better than this team and 130 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: take advantage of your size. And that's what they're doing. 131 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: Get to the free throw line, don't shoot fadeaway jumpers 132 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: eight seven seven three d P show email address DP 133 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: of Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. 134 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls Preston in Ohio.

I think Colter got it right yesterday. It's 139 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 1: all about social media. It's just easier to share it now. 140 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: About five years ago, six years ago, Jordan Shepley's rookie year, 141 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: whatever it was.

Well, the first super Bowl we took 169 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: our kids too was believe it or not, Patriots and Seahawks. 170 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: And and the fact that the thing that they remember 171 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: most about it were the Patriots fans around them as well, Dan, 172 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: because they were just chit chatting with their own Jimmy's 173 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: and Tom's and Mike the entire game. And Katy Perry 174 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: comes out at halftime, and I'm sitting in the stands 175 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: as well as the first Super Bowl I ever did 176 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: not work the postgame show, So that was the first 177 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: one I actually sat in the stands for myself because 178 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: I normally would have to be getting ready to do 179 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: a postgame. But any rate, so Katy Perry's coming out 180 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: and she does her halftime and my son Zan is 181 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: dressed in a Tom Brady Jersey and he's just dancing 182 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: his head off. And then halftime ends and a Patriot 183 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: fan looks at me and he just wags me over 184 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: to him and I'm like, okay, what are we going 185 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: to talk about here? And he just leans over he goes, 186 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: your son is one hell of a day. Answer just 187 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: like and they were just all like best friends the 188 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: rest of the game. And it was one of those 189 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: things as well where you said that the game that 190 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: you took him to was so memorable and exciting. Um, yeah, 191 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: I will tell them like you were. You had a 192 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: front row seat. We were right there in the mezzanine, 193 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: right on the goal line when Malcolm Butler picked off 194 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. They don't they don't remember it. They're literally 195 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: talking about Katy Perry to this day. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, 196 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: you know what resonates with them. And I just I 197 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: dropped them off at the super Bowl and I had 198 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: to host Sports Center that night, and uh, you know 199 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: then they came back but just to get my daughter's 200 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: film developed, and all it was was that these two 201 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: guys you like, I said, Guy said, Grace, what are you? 202 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: What are you doing? She was od Dan, I just 203 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: took pictures and then they both passed out like that. 204 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: I think they got tired. And it's like it's like 205 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: the Ronal credits to the Hangover, right, like you get 206 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: the you get the camera back, you don't know what's 207 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: in it, Yeah, and you take a look at But 208 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: I guess the question half for you as well, because 209 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned the first Super Bowl was New England versus Carolina. 210 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: That was um, that was NFL Networks for Super Bowl. Um. 211 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: I was in the building as well. That was also 212 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: the wardrobe malfunction halftime. Did you ever have a conversation 213 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: with your kids about that one? They had no idea 214 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: where their seats were. Rich they had they could see. 215 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: They weren't sure if there was a football game going on, 216 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: but you know, wow, yeah they did after the fact 217 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: because my wife was did they see the you know 218 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: what happened with I go? No? I said, hunt, No, 219 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: they did? They did? Not? Hey, before I let you 220 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: go the Julio Jones situation, where where where? Because it 221 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: feels like it's not if, but when, but how about where? 222 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: I don't know? New England sound is the right spot 223 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: to me because they can absorb it immediately. They could 224 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: truly use him. They're talking about it, and it would 225 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: make a ton of sense, an absolute ton of sense. 226 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: But then you know the report I think it was, 227 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: it was from Diana Russini, a espnum that they already 228 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: have a one in their back pocket. That does not 229 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: sound like New England to me, although New England is 230 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: the only team Atlanta could say too. When they ask, 231 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: they say, we'll just give you two. They're like, you know, 232 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: that's what we got from Mohammed Sanu from V So 233 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, let's let's let's realize that we're talking about here, right. So, um, 234 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: that makes sense. The Titans would make a ton of 235 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: sense too, because they're I just don't see them trading 236 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: them within their conference. Green Bay is the one that 237 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: makes the most sense to me, Dan, it really does. 238 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: It fixes everything, you know, And I know this sounds 239 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: like a fantasy football trade. But telling Atlanta you needed 240 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: you were looking for, you know, the successor to Matt Ryan, 241 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: well we've got him, and you can take a look 242 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: at him yourself. He looks great in practice, but his 243 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: presence is kind of, you know, pissing off our MVP quarterback. 244 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: And we'll give you, we'll give you him and a two, 245 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: and you give us Julio Jones, and then you look 246 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: at Aaron Rodgers and you say, Okay, you wanted to 247 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: stay here, and you wanted the best possible team as 248 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: a window of opportunity. How about the best wide receiver 249 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: tandem in football maybe this entire twenty first century. How 250 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: does that sound? Let's go. And we've already put Aaron 251 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: Jones on the credit card, and you got Big Bob 252 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: Tanyan and you let's go. Let's it kind of makes 253 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: an insane amount of sense, which means it probably won't 254 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: happen in a million years. I just want to let 255 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: you know that the desert we're on the air. Just 256 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: want to let you know. I should have told you 257 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: that up front, that we were. Yeah, but I was 258 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: going to sail him out of NFL network. But you 259 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: know now that I know him on the air, I'll 260 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: just keep that to myself. Well, thank you, Rich, thank 261 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: you for me joke. Dan. Yeah, I could tell when 262 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: you disapprove. I can tell when you disapprove. Oh no, 263 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: you paid it off. I didn't want to try to 264 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: challenge it. I'd let it breathe. You should let you look, 265 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: you should. I should let that's just my fault. I 266 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: should let you put the button on the conversation. It's 267 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: your show. I'm a guest. My bad. Dan, I'm sorry. Yeah, 268 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean you put a bow on it. But look, 269 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: I know I know humor. Rich, Okay, I mean yeah, 270 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: I'll leave it to you. Dan, Like, how many Sandler 271 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: movies have you been in? Rich, I've been in a 272 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: couple of CSI Miami's Dan, So you know I've got 273 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: that going. There's nothing funny about CSI Miami. I disagree, sir. 274 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: You and I will have to have a conversation at 275 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: another date. But all right, Dan, all right, that's Rich Eisen, 276 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: who joins us on the program on Loan for the 277 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: NFL Network and the Rich Eisen Show that follows this 278 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: one on Peak. Yeah. I didn't want to top him. 279 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: I let him put the bow on it. You had 280 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: a real nice line there, call back to you're on 281 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: the air right now. Yeah, that's all. And he said, 282 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: oh I was about to drop on leaving NFL Network. 283 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: That was a nice little pay off. Yeah. Yeah, you 284 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: guys teamed up nicely. Yeah, but I'd let him have 285 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: the line. It's all Uh, Brandy and Iowa joins us 286 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: and we'll take a break. Jeff van Gundy will join us. 287 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: Coming up, Hey Brandy, Hey, but oh hello, Hey, happy 288 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: meet Friday, might meet Mark. Yeah. I have to say, 289 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: the only two food you find in Iowa is in 290 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: HoTT and flower soup, so I don't think we'd have 291 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: to have that problem here. Yeah. Yeah, but looking to 292 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: see if you can settle a disagreement that I'm having 293 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: with the Detroit fan in my house. So we're having 294 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: a discussion about all time graeps, right, So example, Lebron 295 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Durant all time grapes to these fan bases when players 296 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: move and play for say three to five years, get 297 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: to claim that player as they're all time great. So, 298 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: for example, is Durant an all time Golden State great 299 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: or just an all time great player? I say they're 300 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: an all time great rental, and that's where he and 301 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: I disagree. So I'm either to get off your long 302 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: guy or not hip enough as he well, Kevin Durant's 303 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: an all time great for the Thunder, He's not an 304 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: all time Greade for the Warriors. Agreed that we're on 305 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: the same page. Yeah, and he's wrong. Yeah, absolutely, he's stupid. 306 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: I will pass that on a Troy fan, Yeah, what's 307 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: he gonna do? But yeah, I agree, same thing. But 308 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: the bandwagon fan, I mean the fans, especially like the Lakers. 309 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: They've gone nuts over Lebron being an all time Laker 310 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: great and it's like he's been there two minutes and 311 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: fifty seconds. But you know that's kind of my thought 312 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: process as well, right, Brandy, I have a great weekend. Yes, 313 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: it's one issue. Though. Let's say you go to a 314 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: town for a short period of time and you win 315 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: them a title, like Kawhi Leonard is a Toronto Raptors 316 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: all time great. He is because he went there, gave 317 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: them the title they wanted, and then moved on. Well, 318 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: he gets to the amount of time that you stay 319 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: or is it what you accomplish when you stay there? 320 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: It's usually time. But this is a case where they 321 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: will retire his jersey, Kawhi Leonard, Probably they've got room. 322 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: They've got they haven't retired that many. I don't know 323 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: if Mopete got his jersey retired. Is Chris Bosh an 324 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: old time Miami heat grade? Is run Is Shock an 325 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: ald time Miami Heat Grade. He was there when they 326 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: won a title. I think there has to be a 327 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: limit on the number of years that you spend there, 328 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: Like maybe would just establish it's five years. I guess 329 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: Brady an all time Tampa Bay buccaneer. Definitely a ring 330 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: of honor guy or whatever they got down there for sure. Well, yeah, 331 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: they can't keep inducting all the players from that one 332 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl winning team. With Gruden, yeah, I think he 333 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: is like, shouldn't you shouldn't you have to have a 334 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: certain amount of time with a franchise. Chris Bosh is 335 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: an all time raptor more so than Kawhi leonard Is. 336 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: I think Bosh was there, got drafted there, was great there, 337 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: and then ended up leaving and going to Miami. Yeah. Boy, 338 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner feels like an all time Arizona Cardinals great 339 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: and they got to the Super Bowl. They didn't win it, 340 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: but he feels like he is for that franchise. But 341 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: as a Hall of Famer, is he an all time 342 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: New York Giant great because he did play there? Like, 343 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think there's gray area here. Jeff 344 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: Van Gundi will join us coming up next.

I 357 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: don't understand what Miles Teller is doing. This actor who's 358 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: spending all this time with Aaron Rodgers in Hawaii. You 359 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: know that they're significant others are there as well, But 360 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: he just sent out a tweet that said, congrats on 361 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: signing with the Packers. Do I have that right, PAULI? Yeah, 362 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: he was probably across a table for lunch with the 363 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his fiance. Okay, but why would he 364 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: do that. I don't get the joke there. It's like, 365 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: is it a joke? Is he trolling? Likely he had 366 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: to get Aaron Rodgers approval. Right, we actually called from Milesteller. 367 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: No response. Okay, I watched Whip last year other night. 368 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: Again it holds up pretty well. Yeah, yeah, it is 369 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: non sequitic. Yeah, thank you, Jeff Van Gundy, the ESPN 370 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: NBA analysts. ESPN's playoff coverage continues seven games over the weekend. 371 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: Jeff's gonna call the Nets and Celtics tonight. That's an 372 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: eight thirty Eastern Sunday's game between the Suns and Lakers. 373 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: ESPN's NBA playoff audience includes the play in tournament is 374 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: up eighty five percent from twenty twenty heading in to 375 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: the weekend. Jeff, thanks for joining us. Good morning. How 376 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: are you? He lost? Jeff? I asked Todd to do 377 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: one thing today, make sure Jeff Van Gundy showed up. Okay, 378 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: that's what I got a real nice intro to you. Yeah, 379 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: it was. That was a big intro. Let's see if 380 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: we can get Jeff reconnect with Jeff Van Gundy. Yeahmick 381 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: Club maybe got stuck in traffic outside of Mats Square. 382 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: Gardener's Shoheo Tani style late for his appearance. That'd be 383 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: odd because he's going to Boston for the Nets and 384 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: Celtics there. Yes, this point years ago, when jeff An 385 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: Gutty first got the next job, my friend and I 386 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: were going on a next game. We got to the 387 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: game about an hour early, and we're in line at 388 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: Wendy's and jeff An Gutty was in line waiting for 389 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: a burger and fries. Did you say anything, No, but 390 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a new Knicks coach. And my buddy 391 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: goes he would never be at Wendy's an hour or 392 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: four game time. Yeah. They usually have a decent spread 393 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: usually before the games for the media. I know that. 394 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm guessing. Yeah, isn't that all you ate? Pretty much? 395 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: Pretty much? When I was working in New York at 396 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: CNN and I didn't make any money. I remember those, uh, 397 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: the spreads for the media at any of those events, 398 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: I dove in like I'd put shrimp in my pocket, 399 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, if I could. It's like, Uh, I'm gonna 400 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: Tommy Hearns boxing press conference. I'm like stuff in shrimp 401 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: in my pocket. Did you make up a question just 402 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: to justify the food? No, No, I was. I was 403 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: supposed to interview Tommy Hearns and the like. You know, 404 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: I remember some boxing person said, are you you're gonna 405 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: sit down? Yeah, waiting for my cameraman. There is Jeff 406 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: van Gundy with us. We believe. Okay, Hey, Jeff, Hey, 407 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: what's up? How are you good yourself? I'm doing okay. 408 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: Did you go to Wendy's before a Knicks game when 409 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: you were first in New York first year as a coach? McDonald's. Oh? So, 410 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: how I celebrated getting hired? H I signed my contract 411 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: and uh stopped in the drive through on the way 412 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: up the West Side Highway. I don't even think that 413 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: McDonald's is still there, but yeah, that uh the number 414 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: one combo never tasted so good. But there's a Wendy's 415 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: across the street, though, and PAULI said that he saw 416 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: you there one time, and it's very possible. Absolutely get 417 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: the chili. Are you kidding me? I'm sure That's all 418 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, Jeff. I just wanted to 419 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: find out. Are the Knicks a good team? Are just 420 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: a good story? No? There, they're They're a good team 421 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: that maxed out the talent at hand in the regular season. 422 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: And we see this every once in a while where 423 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: expectations for playoff success rises because of what happened in 424 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: the regular season. But there's no question Atlanta has more 425 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: more offensive talent. The depth of their talent is better. 426 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean the Knicks can't win. But I picked Atlanta. 427 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: I thought they were a slight favorite going in just 428 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: because I think they have just more weapons offensively. Yeah, 429 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: I picked Atlanta as well. I was also wondering about 430 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: the atmosphere because you coached in New York. Can you coach? 431 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: These were big games, playoff games? But can you? Did 432 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: you ever? Were you ever aware of the surroundings, you know, 433 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: fan behavior while you were coaching, Not necessarily the behavior, 434 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: but the the intensity and passion of the crowd. Absolutely, 435 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: And I think the Garden was never louder than it 436 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: was in Game two of this series. I mean it 437 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: was overwhelming. I've never seen a crowd that I remember 438 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: in the Garden standing an entire half and it looked 439 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: like the whole place was standing up the entire second half. 440 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: And I think so the crowd intensity and passion, yes, 441 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: aware of I'll tell you, I am a little. I'm 442 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: very disturbed though by some of these incidents that fans 443 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: becoming emboldened to try to you know, feel like they 444 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: can spit on, dump popcorn on. That's really disturbing though, 445 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know what it is, Jeff. Are the 446 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: fans any different? I mentioned social media plays a role here, 447 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: but are they more passionate? You know, people trying to 448 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: pandemic like oh, you're being let out of the house, 449 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: They like, you're not going to your your job today 450 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: and spitting on somebody or pouring popcorn on something like. 451 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what the reasoning is behind this. Well, 452 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: I would say probably at a lot of places, alcohol 453 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: plays a major factor. I'm also disappointed in the well, 454 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, they're banning them from the arena. First of all, 455 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: that's of no consequence because people can come right back in. 456 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: It's not like the people charged or perceptually they're band 457 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: they can't get in. It's not like there's facial recognition 458 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: and they're get they can't come in. We don't even 459 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: know who they are. Particularly with the Trey Young incident 460 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: spitting on someone, he should have the person should have 461 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: been arrested, Like there has to be harsher consequences for 462 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: these type of actions. And you know, but you're right, 463 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: like it's not that much different. Some of the things 464 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: said to Patrick Ewing at Rhode Arenas. I gotta say, 465 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: like back in the night, it would you know, today 466 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: people were gonna be would be like stunned at how 467 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: bad it was at times. So I don't know, other 468 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: than alcohol, how you can explain, you know, these bad behaviors. 469 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: But certainly a few people just you know, it's criminal activity, 470 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: is what it is. And I don't know how Patrick 471 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: was able to just internalize that. I mean, Trey Young 472 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: getting spit on and you know, you just and you 473 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: got to play a game, and I you know, we've 474 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: all been down there with Press Rowe and you hear 475 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: what is said or football game or basketball or baseball. 476 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: Have you ever had to say anything to any of 477 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: your players like hey, stay in the moment or don't 478 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: let it bother you. I don't remember doing that, damn. 479 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: But I gotta say, like some of these things, like 480 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have you know, they have security behind the bench. 481 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: I think this is where basketball is a little bit 482 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: different than football football. There's more separation between the fans 483 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: and you know, the players in basketball, particularly when we're 484 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, not in a COVID season. I mean, they're 485 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: right on top of you, and the things they say 486 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: or could do, you know, make the basketball players much 487 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: more vulnerable to two things. And so I don't remember 488 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: every saying it, but I gotta say that sometimes I 489 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: was actually stunned that they didn't react more often. You know, 490 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: the idea when I think Westbrook went after somebody, I 491 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: remember way back Vernon Maxwell went in the stands after somebody. 492 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: You know, I know they shouldn't do it. But until 493 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: you're in that situation where people you know, can say 494 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: these things because they know they're being protected by you know, 495 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: the rules, and the league will actually you know, protect 496 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: the fan more oftentimes and they protect the players. I 497 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: think it's trying. They're trying to get better at it, 498 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: but we still have a long way to go. He's 499 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundhi of the Mothership. He'll be on the 500 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: call Nets and Celtics anyway. The Nets, I gotta say, 501 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,959 Speaker 1: I love when you say Mothership. That just makes me 502 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: laugh each and every time. Go ahead, I've been saying 503 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: it for decades. I know, I love it. I love it. Anyway. 504 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: The Nets don't reach the NBA Finals, well, yeah, there's 505 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: a way, but to me, they're the prohibitive favorite. I 506 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: think the path in the Eastern Conference. You know, they're 507 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: going to have to play an outstanding Milwaukee team most 508 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: likely in the next round if they're to advance, if 509 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: they're advanced past the Celtics, and then they've got to 510 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: face a team they most likely had to face terrific 511 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: Philadelphia team who's great defensively and with a power post 512 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: up player that they really don't match up great with. 513 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's there's a course, uh and a path 514 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: that they don't certainly because I think the competition at 515 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: the top half of the East, those top three teams 516 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: could all advance easily to the NBA Finals. If I 517 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: gave you the Lakers or the field in the West. Wow, 518 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: if you would have said that before the playoffs, I 519 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: would have said the field. You know. Now, like I 520 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: see them ratchet up that defense, you know, if they're 521 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: if they're able to advance past Phoenix, you know, Portland 522 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: or Denver. Denver, particularly because they're injured, I could I 523 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: can't see either one of those teams beating them. So 524 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: you know it's their defense, Dan, I mean, they're they're big, 525 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: and they're tough, and they guard and when Anthony Davis, 526 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, gets big numbers, and you got James Uh. 527 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: You know, neither one had a great first half, but 528 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: they come out in that second half and they just pound, 529 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: you know, a really good Phoenix team. So I'd have 530 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: to take La now that you said, you know, if 531 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: you'd pose that same question to me, I'm gonna I'm 532 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna probably take La. What if the Clippers bow out 533 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: opening round? What kind of ramifications fallout any? If any? Yeah? Unknown, 534 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: because I think Kawhi Leonard could be a free agent 535 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: if he chooses to be UM. You know, obviously I 536 00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: don't really understand their messaging. UM And people ask them 537 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: after the second loss, is there any concern and they said, 538 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: no concerns, And I'm like, like, that's far different from 539 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: saying we're not panicked, we're still confident. But to not 540 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: have any concern, I mean, Luca Donta in and of 541 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: itself is a concern down two oh is a concern, 542 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, their inability to guard in a manner in 543 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: which like they should be a great defensive team. They 544 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: have every component you need to be a great defensive team. 545 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: So if I was their players, I think the proper 546 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: messaging would be Yeah, still confident, but concerned. We need 547 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: to be more urgent, you know, we need to play better. 548 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: And I think this started with their attitude towards the 549 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: last couple of games of the regular season, where you know, 550 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: they lost. I don't want to say on purpose, but 551 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: they certainly weren't playing to win. And the way his 552 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: hard like Dallas is no joke. I mean I think 553 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: they beat him by fifty earlier in the season. So 554 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: obviously this is a really good team, a dangerous offensive team, 555 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: and they've got a pre eminent star in Is there 556 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: a younger, a young player you would take over Luca 557 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: to start your team? Well, I'm trying to think off 558 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: the top of my head, but I'll give you first choice. 559 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: And if I get I get Dog. I'm good. I'm 560 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: good with like like the way this, you know, what 561 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: impresses me about him is as he's improved to shooting 562 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: later in the year, Like when he gets into the lane, 563 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: he's so big, so strong, with such great vision. There's 564 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: no great way to handle him in the two man game. 565 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: Like in the pick and roll. You can trap him 566 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: and he can see over the trap, and he's a 567 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: willing passer and they have rate shooting around him. If 568 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: you drop deep in the lane with your big he's 569 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: so big and strong that he takes it deep and 570 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: he can either finish or make every pass necessary. And 571 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: if you switch, particularly if you play a traditional center, 572 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: he just obliterates those guys. So there is no good 573 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: coverage for him. And I think he's more dialed in. 574 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: He's not a good individual defender per se, but he's 575 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: more dialed in defensively because he knows that ultimately you 576 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: have to guard to win. And so I think this 577 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: guy is a you know, just a great, great player. 578 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if you put him as your MVP and 579 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: many in a ballot, I mean he's going to be 580 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: in the top eight, no question. Yeah, he might turn 581 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: out to be like Mike Trout, where he's always in 582 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: the conversation for MVP. The question is is he going 583 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: to win championships just like Mike Trout. Mike Trout is, 584 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: you know, obviously one of the great players, but you're 585 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: not winning a championship anytime soon. And Luca may have 586 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: a situation that's similar to that. Well, so much of 587 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: winning a championship, as you know, Dan is who you 588 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: play with and who you play against. Some players were 589 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: just born at the wrong time, and even though they 590 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: had good players around them, they just didn't have, you know, 591 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: enough around them to win at all. So, you know, 592 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: I think they have a very good team. I know 593 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: they got off to a bad start this year. You know, 594 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 1: Porzingis injury I think had an impact. I think Done 595 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: didn't shoot the ball particularly well. But since Rick Carlisle 596 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: has gone to Richardson off the bench, starting hardaway with 597 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: Finney Smith, Kleiba, Porzingis and don Chi, that starting lineup 598 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: is big, it's versatile, and it has a lot of 599 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: answers at both ends of the floor. You coached against Jordan, 600 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: later Jordan, you coached against Kobe. You coached against Lebron, 601 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 1: a young Lebron game plan wise, who did you who 602 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: did you figure out a little bit better than the 603 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: other two? Mm, there's no there wasn't there's really no 604 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: figuring now great players. I think what you try to 605 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: do with all great players, Dan is you can't give 606 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,720 Speaker 1: them everything. Um So, for instance, where we always started 607 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: off with game planning against great players. You know, first 608 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: of all, O'Neill was by far the hardest guy. Like, 609 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: there was no game plan for the power of O'Neill. So, 610 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: but on thoset perimeter players, what you try to do 611 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: is take away transition layups and try to take away 612 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: free throw attempts the pull up game. You know, some 613 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: of the threes we see Lebron James making now off 614 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: the dribble. He made one in Game two against Phoenix, 615 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, left corner off the dribble. Faith, there's nothing 616 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: you can do with that. You've got to take away layups, 617 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: you got to take away free throws. And the harder 618 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: you make them make it on great players in the 619 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: half court, they try to figure out, all right, I 620 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: gotta get out and transition more. I gotta get to 621 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: the offensive boards more. So you've got to fight him 622 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: in the effort areas. But there's truly no way to 623 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: stop him. But you can't give him everything. So for James, 624 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: you know, like you can't give him thirty points and 625 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: double digit assists, like you're he's gonna get probably one 626 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: or the other, but you can't give him both. It's 627 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: always great to talk to you, Jeff. Have fun tonight 628 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: it's the Nets and the Celtics. That'll be at eight 629 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: thirty eastern on the Mothership and Sunday's game will be 630 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: Suns Lakers at three thirty Eastern on ABC. If you 631 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: can slip in Mothership tonight, that'd be kind of nice. Well, 632 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: I think we're on ABC tonight, so I think we are, 633 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: So I think tonight. Yeah, it's an eight thirty game 634 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: because I think the other games are on the Mothership. 635 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 1: Nick's come on at seven and I believe at nine 636 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: thirty ish Dallas. Right, So two games on the Mothership, 637 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: one on ABC. And if I am going to get 638 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: Mothership in tonight, and Mark Jackson will probably reprimand me immediately, 639 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 1: but that's all right, Yeah, I can I can handle that. Yeah, 640 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry about Mark Jackson. Mike Breen's a Hall 641 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: of Famer. I'd worry about him, but hey, yes, he 642 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: is great to talk to you, Jeff. All right, thank 643 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: you for joining us.

I don't think the 693 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: audience would have anything to do on the computers on 694 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 1: more and long and no mc hayton, you do not 695 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: look like Clive Owen. Take a seat, Fogel. There's a 696 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: reason your show name is mclovin. But the biggest issue 697 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: I have with the system Danette himself is the absolutely 698 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: disgracing of meat Friday.
