1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. What up? Good morning to you Dan Patrick's Show,

00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Wherever you're listening, Thanks so much. We

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: had a great confluence weekend right yet, Ramadon passover and

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: of course Easter, whichever you celebrate. You had a good one, Dan.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: The Dannett's off all week so you'll get the pot

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: pourri of of guests host today. You got me and

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre and j J. Mac. You know we've only

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: had what one, right, one kind of epic game so

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: far in the playoffs? Is that? Is there another one

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: that was? Well? Dallas last night was fun. I know

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: nobody really cares about the MAVs without Luca, who is

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA against the Utah Jazz,

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: but it was a great night. I mean, MAVs covered

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the spread. They won on the money line. If you

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: watched it, they were great from deep and I bet

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: against Rudy Gobert and it was profitable. I love that

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: game last night. I would love to talk about Jalen Brunson,

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: but I've been told that's a no fly zone from Douglin. No, no, no,

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: that's not what I said. Somebody said look and and

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: and look Jason Kidd. Jason Kidd answered it at the

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: at the podium last night where he's like, look, I

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: don't know if he needs an agent, but I'll be

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: his agent. That guy deserves to get paid. I mean,

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson is an awesome story. I mean he's the

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean like, look, he's in the first of all

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: two time nca champion, and I mean he's a he's

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: a winning basketball player. And I don't know, I didn't

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: see he's I didn't see this in him. You know,

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna be somebody's starting point guard next year. And um,

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think he'd be this good at No one

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: thought he had he was quick enough, dude, his handles ridiculous.

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's it's total control forty one. Um. I

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: love his game. I think he's a starting point guard

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: of the Knick six year. You know I know that

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: so far you're like getting like so far ahead of yourself, right, So,

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: but why why not? Because he's still playing for the Mavericks.

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: But he's a free agent. He's a free agent, yeah,

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, but they still have his rights. There's you know,

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: they have his bird rights, don't they. I mean, there's

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: they do, there's a chance they keep him. I just

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: it's a tough one for the MAVs. And I'm telling you,

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I know I just slid that in there, because if

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: you guys listened to the opening, I slid in Steph

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: Curry's second best point guard in NBA history. I just

46
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: slid it in the MAVs one without Luka. Donchis the

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: best player in the NBA, and for my money, he

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: is the best. He makes everyone around him better. I

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: would have voted Jannas for the MVP because I thought

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: he had the best season, but I think Luca makes

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: everyone around him better. The problem is what do you

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: do when it's Jayalen Brunson who kind of needs the

53
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: ball in his hands to create. He's not like a

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: spot up shooter, although he's a very good shooter. I

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: think if you keep him in Dallas, I think the

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: MAVs have a chance to maybe make the finals, you know,

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: like next year. That's how good I think this team is.

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: But if you're Bronson, you could get more money from

59
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks and be running the show in Madison Square Garden.

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: You know, his dad's a former pro so he you

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: could just tell he walks and carries himself like a pro.

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: I just like the whole Jalen Brunson's story. I love

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: everything about him. He's amazing. He's a total flatliner. And

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: it's one of those guys where you see him, you're like,

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't get it in no way, right. I mean,

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: he's six one, maybe he's he's not by anyone's estimation fast,

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: but he's he's that kind of I mean, like total

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: of nova guy where he does all the little things

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: and then he has just this craftiness and a build.

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: He just he he is basketball like Hugh is so

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: far in a way above he and Luca. There's that

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: those similarities there to where they just the game is

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: very slow to them, and and the way the Mavericks

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: play that court is is wide open and it gives

75
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: you the ability to read. But he can make the

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: plays and he is he's tremendous, just a tremendous basketball player.

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: By the way. I just I don't, I don't, I

78
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: don't understand the I mean I am maybe maybe this

79
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: is like, are you a Knicks fan? Is that the

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: like I was born in New He's got to go

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: to the Knicks. Like, first of all, there's there's thirty teams,

82
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: so there's lots of teams that would have me, well

83
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: the Okay, So this is a good discussion, Doug. And

84
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: by the way, there is a college basketball topic. I

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: will try my best to get on here in the

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: final hour, folks. Doug's been ranting about it on social media,

87
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: and I like the topic. That being said, if you

88
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: look around the league, Doug, like, point guard is the

89
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: most popular position. Every almost everyone has a point guard,

90
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Trey Young. I mean, just look around the league. There

91
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: are not a lot of opening spots for point guards

92
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: to pay a lot of money. Lead lead guards guys

93
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: that you know, dominate the dominate the basketball. Okay, okay,

94
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: And I've looked at almost every team and I cannot

95
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: find a spot for him for a team that has

96
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: money other than the Knicks. Yes, but you're thinking that

97
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: they're all gonna come back, right, I mean, like, look,

98
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: if you really want to do this exercise, and I

99
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a if it's one that other

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: people care about, let's bang it out real quick, let's

101
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: do it well. Okay. So, but so you go through,

102
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: first of all, the strongest and most likely scenario is

103
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: you you resign with your team, right that that's the

104
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: most likely scenario. But anything else, it's it's not like

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you're only going to you have to You're right, you

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: have to move a guy off a spot. So Golden State, Memphis, Phoenix,

107
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 1: um Denver, right when Jamal Murray returns, like, those aren't

108
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: possible destinations? Minnesota, New Orleans, you'd think those are? Those

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: are all out? Yeah, those are all out every player.

110
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: And then you go to the East. Yeah, okay, And

111
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't think Miami would have the money or that

112
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: would be in the wheelhouse. Um, Boston obviously they it's

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: right now. Remember there was talk of Marcus Smart being out,

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: but that wouldn't doesn't make sense because you already got

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: two guys that dominate the ball not named Marcus Smart.

116
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: Milwaukee doesn't fit, don't need him. Philly, you know that

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: they're not going there. No money, Gronto, they have Van Valet,

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: who is they paid a lesser version? Yeah, of Jalen Brunson,

119
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: and they already have that. Well, he might be I

120
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: don't know about a lesser version. He's a very good defender. Um,

121
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that he can be your best player

122
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: or second best player on a on a championship contender.

123
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: He's very good. But bottom line is Brunze is not

124
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: going to Toronto. Bulls paid Lonzo right um, Hawks have Trey,

125
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: the Calves have Garland, Charlotte and let's have Kyrie for now. Yep.

126
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: The Charlotte's got to save money for ball. Lonzo's their guy.

127
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: So then you look at the non playoff teams and

128
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, Indiana, they know, Detroit has Kate Cunningham. Orlando.

129
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that it makes any sense for them.

130
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: They seem to like Cole Anthony, Who's who's cheap? I know,

131
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunts is way better. And you just look at

132
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: the non playoffs you wouldn't go to I look, I

133
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: understand the allure of New York, okay, and the need

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: that they have. Okay, now, that would also mean are

135
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: they gonna move on from RJ. Barrett or you're gonna

136
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: play RJ Barrett with him? I mean, I think I

137
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: think your trio you're hoping for is Brunson, RJ. Barrett

138
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: and then Star TBD. Is that Karl Anthony Town's forcing

139
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: his way out. But at this point I just think

140
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: if you look at the massive like, look, there's always

141
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: the stories about Donovan Mitchell to New York. Right wait,

142
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: Donovan the Utah jazz guy. Okay, Donovan Mitchell to New York.

143
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 1: So I just there there's so much like we're sitting

144
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: here saying it's all set, right, it's all set. But

145
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: but as we've seen in the NBA, pieces move greatly,

146
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and I would like to believe that we know the

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Nicks are the only possible destination. But again, for that

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: to happen, now, you got to come off of a

149
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: guy that you've kind of sort of started to build around.

150
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: And I don't like this is this This means that

151
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: you're you're done with that current project and you're moving on,

152
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: which which I don't think is crazy. Okay, but you're

153
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to move pieces. Yeah, well hardaways come

154
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: back for Dallas too. Remember next year he's back from injury.

155
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: It's just it. They've got a lot of pieces. They

156
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: got to figure it out. I don't think it's an

157
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: easy solution. Of course, the Knicks have like no pieces,

158
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: so they've got to overpay. As we talked about earlier,

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: you got to overpay. We newn't have anybody. It's just

160
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: a fun topic. And Douglas, sorry, let me just crowbar

161
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 1: this in. You know, we always love in the NBA

162
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: to talk about the future, what's coming up in free agency,

163
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: what's next. That's the most fun thing to talk about

164
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: because as has been the topic for years. Well, the

165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: games aren't that interesting. I don't know if you saw

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: this news, but this past weekend's games, according to I

167
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: think it's a sports business journal, one of the highest

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: rated NBA opening weekends in years. And this Nets Celtics game,

169
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: which was incredible. According to the numbers, it is the

170
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: highest first round rating since Game four Warriors Rockets in

171
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, the highest rated game. Seven million viewers are

172
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: about that highest game in six years. Well, it's given

173
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: us a bunch of stuff, right, gives you. It gives

174
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,239
Speaker 1: you Kyrie going back, It gives you kd the Celtics,

175
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: and you know, I Jason Tatum, I don't think is

176
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: a breakthrough star outside of basketball. Even if in basketball

177
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: the last month of the season he might have been

178
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: the best score. He was probably the best score in

179
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: the league. Um, but it gives you a Boston Garden

180
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: they put it. I you know, you put it on

181
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: network TV like it's a big deal and there's a

182
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: lot there. Um, but I also think that you look

183
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: at sports across the boards right now are rating very well.

184
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: People are people are are happy to see people back

185
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: in the seats as well. Huh. USFL football did a

186
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: good number. I think it did. Had over three million

187
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: people watch. Yeah, people are starved for four four million people?

188
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Uh for over four million people watch the the women's

189
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: National Championship. Like yeah, by the way, I didn't even

190
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: this is a little dated, but college basketball. How did

191
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: the final four numbers do? How were they? Um? The

192
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: semis were better than the finals because you had Duke

193
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: and remember it was on TBS. Yeah, so it's not

194
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: ever gonna do well. It obviously did very well for TBS,

195
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: but just not the natural you know, there are still

196
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: some people to do the rabbit ears and um, you

197
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: know where TV always always rates better. Yeah, it did.

198
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: It did well all things considered. Like, you're not going

199
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: to do any better now on TBS. Yeah. No, I

200
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: know they're jacking up cable prices around the country and

201
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: then everybody's streaming stuff a doug. I'm a little old school.

202
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: I demand cable. Um, you know, we we work in

203
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the sports business. I can't be thirty seconds behind. I'm

204
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: obviously doing a lot for gambling for Fox Sports. You

205
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: can't live bet when you're streaming because you're behind the action,

206
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, So I advocate true, I actually, I'm I'm

207
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm totally honest with you this. I probably shouldn't just

208
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: lose this. I've always had cable and satellite, you know,

209
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I've always done both. Um, I didn't know that. Yeah, no, well,

210
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: streaming is a little behind. What if you do what

211
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: if you do your cable app? Right? I still do

212
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: the boxes, because yes, I have the boxes as well. Okay,

213
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: do the But does the app is that the cable app?

214
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: Does that run behind? I don't really know. I try

215
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: not to watch too much of it. I did have

216
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: to watch some because my son plays basketball and he

217
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: had a three games in a road Saturday, and I'm like,

218
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: I can't miss this Minnesota Memphis game, so I'm streaming

219
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: some of that. I think it was behind. You know,

220
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: it's fun to stream, but Doug, on your phone, you

221
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: can't stream, do texts, jump on social media all at

222
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: the same time. Yeah, it's I'm an old school guy,

223
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: I love me some cable boxes. I'm sorry, you know,

224
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm an ad for cable guys. You still still so

225
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: we don't we don't have an answer to that question.

226
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: We do not. We do not. Look I I'm watching

227
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's gonna take It's gonna take

228
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: a you know, public takes a while to catch up, right, indeed,

229
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: are we gonna catch up to the fact that the

230
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Warriors are back? Like this is what a segue? Look

231
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: at that, Doug well done? Oh? I mean, like, yeah,

232
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: there's a there's like a streaming delay in the Warriors

233
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: a right, like Clay Thompson coming around. They got like

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: a new weapon into Jordan Pool, Miss Steph Curry thirty four,

235
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: thirty four and twenty three minutes off the bench. That

236
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: that's insane. That's insane. I mean, look, part of it is,

237
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: and anybody, you know, is one of the things about

238
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: coming out the benches. You're playing against other guys to

239
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: come out the bench, and they come out the bench

240
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: for a reason, you know. And and as much as

241
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I love Monte Morris, like Jamal Murray's the starter for

242
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: a reason, he's a better player. So but if Monte

243
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Morris is coming out the bench. It's different than, you know,

244
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: than where they are now. Hey, hey, Doug, let me

245
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: toss this out there. So Jordan Pool, you just mentioned

246
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: his name. I don't know if people have seen the

247
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: highlights from games one or two. He is electric and

248
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: last night he was dribbling toward the basket and then

249
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: just decided, you know what, I'm quicker than the big guy.

250
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: He dribbled out to the three point line in the

251
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: corner so fast and fired up a three. Ye're just like,

252
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: what is this guy doing? It went in. Of course,

253
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: I decided to look this up. Jordan Pool. Do you

254
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: want to guess how many stars of a recruit he

255
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: was coming out of high school in twenty seventeen? Now

256
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: four star recruit? Was he a top one hundred recruit?

257
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: Four means yeah? Probably they have him as one hundred

258
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: and sixth in the country. He was being recruited by

259
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Bradley Drake Green Bay, and then Michigan came in late

260
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: and got him. Yeah. I love this guy story because

261
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Pool right now is emerging as you know, listen,

262
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: he's not obviously. He was also very young. He was

263
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: exactly he was young. He was young in high school.

264
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: I think he was. I think he was seventeen. You know,

265
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: he said he was seventeen, and it's it's somehow in

266
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: and they he was a bee line special. But I

267
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: feel like he hit a great three point and developed.

268
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: Some of it is that Steph's absence or Clay's absence, um,

269
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: but the the last two years as allowed him to

270
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: have some of that role. The way they play fits him.

271
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: He's improved as well. So um yeah, I mean, and

272
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: and he's he was very young when he came out

273
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: into the NBA draft. Remember he came out what was

274
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: it in twenty nineteen, right, and he's birthday. I think

275
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: his birthday is like, uh, late May. So I want

276
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: to say he was eighteen when he was drafted or

277
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: close to eighteen nineteen when he's drafted. He's very young.

278
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: And we've seen guys a lot of these guys that

279
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: are young talented kind of emerging. Tobias Harris was a guy.

280
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: He was he was the youngest guy in the draft.

281
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: A lot of times those are the guys who and

282
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell that they're going to develop. But

283
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: part of it is Golden State developing him. Part of

284
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: it is his confidence and growth, maturation, his body changing

285
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: as well. But he's a stunt. He's a superstar. This

286
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: guy but his name Pool, and he plays with the

287
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: splash like that. That just that like indeed, these things

288
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: are meant to be quickly. A couple of guys from

289
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen draft. Darius Basley, remember him, the kid

290
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: who skipped. He went twenty third, Tied Jerome from Virginia

291
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: twenty fourth. Cavin Gelly, who I liked a lot coming

292
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: out of FSU. He had a great tournament, good player.

293
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't he's not really being a factor in the NBA.

294
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Of course. The Calves took Dylan Windler from Belmont. You

295
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: remember that kid. Jordan Pool goes twenty eighth, and he

296
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: is almost the most improved player in the league. I

297
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna win the award, but he's

298
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: certainly in the mix. Is the league last year, it's

299
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: pretty hard. I mean, Doug this when you put Clay,

300
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Pool and Curry on the court, I mean, I

301
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: like and Andrew Wiggins. You want fun, This team is

304
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: the NBA because they know, hey, Man Bucks Suns last

305
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: year did an okay rating in the finals, nothing special

306
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: but gold Look go look at the best rated games

307
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: this year for the NBA. They all involved the Golden

308
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: State Warriors or were on Christmas Day. The league people

309
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: cannot get enough of cur And now you add another

Speaker 1: for the day. The Dan dan Etts got the week off.

361
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Gottliebum we're gonna get with big shot Bob

362
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: Robert Orry is going to join us. But I do

363
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting. I was actually um, I went

364
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: out with with some some folks last night and we

365
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: were discussing the Lakers and like, how you how you

366
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: fix it? And I think the like, there's been so

367
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: many like names thrown out there, Jason, who do you

368
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: think can cote? What's like possible? Because I know you

369
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: got the Nick Nurse early on, Like, no, no, no,

370
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: I don't think he's not leaving hold on before we

371
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: go further on that day. Did I don't know who

372
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: reps Nick Nurse, but I heard he's a Clutch agent.

373
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Is that Cluses his agency? Clutch Sports? Is Nick Nurse's

374
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: agency or falls U? I don't know, because if that's true,

375
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear he just wants a raise at any rate.

376
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: I think more realistically, Doug, we're looking at two names.

377
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: If the Jazz loses a series to the mass something's

378
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna happen in Utah. It feels like the end of

379
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Portland with Okay, we'll fire the coach, then we'll break

380
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: up CJ and Dame and we'll just press the reboot button.

381
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: I think Utah's had a good playoff run, they can't

382
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: get over the hump. I think you've got the choice.

383
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: Do we do we dump Quinn Snyder with a year

384
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: left on his deal, or do we split up Gobert

385
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: and Mitchell or both. Obviously you don't want to lose Mitchell.

386
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: I think Quinn Snyder probably gets dusted. That opens the

387
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: door for him to go to the Lakers. The other

388
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: name not gonna be popular Mark Jackson, the announcer who

389
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: has tried desperately to get into the league. He's had

390
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: multiple interviews flamed out spectacularly. He is clutch, and we

391
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: all know in the NBA there's the zigzag theory for gambling.

392
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: There also is the zigzag theory for coaching. If you

393
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: not always, but sometimes, Doug, if you release a white coach,

394
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe you fill in that void with an African American

395
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: the next time, and vice versa. So I think there

396
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: is a path for Mark Jackson getting to the Lakers.

397
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: We know Lebron loves to give guys chances. I don't

398
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: know if Lebron is going to have much say in this,

399
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: given how well the Russell Westbrook experiment went I'll put

400
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: it down to Mark Jackson or Quinn Snyder for now.

401
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: I heard Juwan Howard is kind of a dark horse.

402
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: He apparently had an interviewed with the Lakers back in

403
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, obviously was in Miami with Lebron and has

404
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: done some good things at Michigan. Obviously had the incident

405
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: there late in the season with the reference with the

406
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: opposing team and a slapper punch. I don't think that matters.

407
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how with the Lakers. Look, Juan Howard

408
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: would be viable. The problem with Juan Howard is he's

409
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: supposed to coach both of his sons at Michigan, and

410
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: does he want to leave that and leave the security

411
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: of it. You know, he's he's so well regarded there,

412
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: so well like there, whereas the Lakers. Part of the

413
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: problem with the Lakers is they carry themselves like their

414
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: three time back to back, you know that they've won

415
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: back to back to back championships, that they're above the rest.

416
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: When it's a hard job. Man, Frank just won the

417
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: title two years ago. He's out. You know, you've gone

418
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: through the cycle, coaches, and like, look, you're gonna have

419
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: to figure out a Lebron James who's going to play

420
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: fewer and fewer games, and Anthony Davis who's constantly injured,

421
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: and quite possibly coach Russell Westbrooks as well. You know,

422
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: so there's a there's a lot there. There's a lot

423
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: too to deal with and you know it'll be in

424
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to implement a culture in year

425
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 1: one to change things. And I don't know how good

426
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: a job it is. Nobody knows what that team is

427
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: going to look like. Um, I don't think the Mark

428
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: Jackson thing. Boy, that'd be that'd be tough. That that

429
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: would be tough. You know that there's so many other

430
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: jobs he could get and there is a way in

431
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: which that organization likes to do things, and you know,

432
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: and the all, all of the all of the feedback

433
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: from Golden State Oakland was not good. And um, you know,

434
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Steve Kirk gives him a nice amount of credit and says, hey,

435
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: Mark laid the foundation, but they were light years better

436
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: to the second that he was gone, despite the fact

437
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: that many guys genuinely like right well, we would also

438
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: say Jason Kidd in Milwaukee, you know, they were great

439
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you dust Kid and

440
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: Bootenholzer wins a championship, went two years later, maybe three. Um, everybody,

441
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: this is America, Doug. We love to give people second

442
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: chances in thirds and fourths, and I think Mark Jackson,

443
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, kind of deserves another chance. Now. I know

444
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: there's plenty of guys waiting who have waited their turn.

445
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: But again we're talking about the Lakers and Lebron James.

446
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you could just get in some guy

447
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: who's never done jack squat in the NBA. It's hard.

448
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: It's a hard one. Like if you if you hire

449
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: a clutch client, you have acquiesced power, complete power. I

450
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: this that is a huge there's a power struggle with

451
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: the Lake. Make no mistake about it, right, make no

452
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: mistake about it. Like, look, even the what Lebron did

453
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game, they were still fine for

454
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: the for the playoffs, the All Star Game, and Lebron

455
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: was coming back and they didn't have Anthony Davis back.

456
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: They're still fine, They're still fine. But he goes to

457
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: the All Star Game that starts talking about a year

458
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: and a half, am now in Cleveland and his son

459
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: and all these other things, instead of the only thing

460
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: he should have done to be on messages when I

461
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: get back, we gotta get better, we gotta make sure

462
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: we're in the playoffs, and he didn't, and they stunk

463
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: out of the break, and then by the time that

464
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: by the time he's like, no, no, we gotta refocus,

465
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: it was over. It was over. So wait, wait, wait

466
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: are you what you are you blaming Lebron for the

467
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: downfall of the Lakers this season? Is that what I

468
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: just heard? There's definitely a portion of blame. I didn't say, heves.

469
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: What do you mean, well, Anthony Davis injury, Kendrick Nunn.

470
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: Kendrick Nunn did not play one game this season compilation

471
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: of the roster. Obviously, Lebron bears some of that, but

472
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: comments also at the All Star Break had zero to

473
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: do with the Lakers cratering down the stretch. Zero. Okay,

474
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: did they play? Did they? Did they play with great

475
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: energy and passion out of the break? Did they play

476
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: like a team that was desperate to win games to

477
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: play together? They played like an entitled team all season.

478
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: You are who your best player is, Jason Well, Lebron.

479
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: Lebron was an All NBA player this year, Doug, He's

480
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: going to be an All NBA second team maybe third. Um. So,

481
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: if that's who the Lakers are, that he was so good,

482
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: why couldn't he elevate them into one of the top

483
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: ten teams in the West? Well, Anthony Davis most a

484
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: billion games? Westbrook? Ok Well, why couldn't he elevate Russell Westbrook?

485
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: That was his handpicked choice? Was Russell Westbo? Well, that's

486
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: that's use Westbrook. Yes, Okay, he couldn't make it work

487
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: with Wessell Westbrook. He couldn't get what Russell Westbrook to

488
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: buy into a role he didn't end. Lebron didn't playing

489
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: defense anymore. Okay, he didn't play defense anymore. You can't

490
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: convince me otherwise. It's not that he's not He's not

491
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony, another guy who they acquiesced and brought in

492
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: because he's Lebron's guy. Can't guard the chair that I'm

00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: last night and the Kyrie Irving stuff in Boston. But

504
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: if you had your choice, if Ganie picked up the

505
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: phone and said, Robert, you've won seven NBA titles, who

506
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: would you hire to be the head coach of the Lakers?

507
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. The outside of me, it's it's so

508
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: weird because you have a I think now, and I

509
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: think future, and I think. Two guys that come to

510
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: mind for me are Darvin Ham and Sam Putzell because

511
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, if people not even gonna think about those

512
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: two guys, and dam Kutzel because he you know, he's

513
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: won championship as the player, he plays against Lebron and

514
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: all these guys, so he understands the game, and he's

515
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: been on the dock for a long time, so he's

516
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: learned doc. And then I go to Darvenham, who's been

517
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, a guy who's been on the bud. He's

518
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: been in that pop system, so he knows how to coach,

519
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: and he is a dog and he and plus you

520
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: know you have to say, Okay, who is he coaching

521
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: now that has a contract that's going to expire in

522
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years. That's one of the most dominant

523
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: players in the league that might want to leave that

524
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: small market in Milwaukee. So who God is a Darvenham

525
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: who has a relationship with Yanna, So maybe we get

526
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: Ganna to come on over to the Lakers and something

527
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: like that. So that's how I because you know, you've

528
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: got a lot of names I did that floating around

529
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: like nurse Snyder, um uh, Martin Jacksons. For me, I

530
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: think all those guys have had chances, and I would

531
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: want some new new blood because I kind of hate

532
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: when they keep recycling these coaches over, but but over

533
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: over Robert Helping If I'm wrong though, Okay, and again

534
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: this is this is from a guy who's watched and

535
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: but has not played at that level. I always operated

536
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: on the premise that in order it's here's the hard part.

537
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: To win an NBA championship. You have to have the

538
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: respect of the best players in the world, of respect

539
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: of that locker room. Right, And this is where I

540
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: think I hear you with Darvin Ham and with Sam

541
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: Cassell because they've done it as players, especially Sam Hey.

542
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: But you to get that respect usually you have to

543
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: have one before, right. That that's there's the hard part.

544
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: It's like it's it's that catch twenty two. To have

545
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: the respect of the best, you have to Steve Kurd

546
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: do before. You got to go to State Warriors because

547
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: he had I guess because he had played, he had

548
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: been a GM and and and he also he also

549
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: had a special group. Like it was kind of a

550
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: like that that thing was he just had to tinker

551
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: with a couple of things and then let it fly free.

552
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: But my whole thing is the point is he had

553
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: no experience. He has experience of coaching, but he came

554
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: in the system, he got the right team, and he

555
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: just tweaked some things. To your point that you always

556
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: got to do is tweak some things. Well, I think

557
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: when you look at the Lakers, and I think the

558
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me as as as someone who covers

559
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers, I think they got to stop tweaking the

560
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: team every year. Um, you gotta get some guys, get

561
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: some coheat in this because you think, right when he

562
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: won the championship, they didn't change the team three times,

563
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: you know. And and it's hard for players to, you know,

564
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: play when you don't know who you're gonna be playing

565
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: with the next season, because you don't get that ononness.

566
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: And one, this is a huge thing that comes into

567
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: playing this game because look at why Miami heats back

568
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: on top. He was likely why mid walks back on top.

569
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: Look like the prior the team that I think is

570
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: going to win it. To see the Suns, you know

571
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: they're they're back on top, and that's what you have

572
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: to look at, the team that stuck together to win together. Yeah,

573
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: Robert Ory obviously hit one of the most important shots

574
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: I think from my NBA youth, the shot against the

575
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. I'll never forget where I was when you

576
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: hit that shot. Robert, Hey, I got a quick, quick point.

577
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: I absolutely love mentioning Darvenham and Sam Cassell. I've heard

578
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: nobody say either of those names, So props to you.

579
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: But the only problem is I don't like how you

580
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: said new Blood because a guy that you just said

581
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: you like, the Sons, Monty Williams, had his chance in

582
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans couldn't get out of the first round twice,

583
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: and Monty Williams, a great human being, been through a lot,

584
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: gets another chance of Phoenix and he gets to the

585
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. Now, I know they got Chris Paul, but

586
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: I do believe in second chances. But I will say

587
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: Sam Cassell is super interesting. I don't know if he

588
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: has a relationship with Lebron at all or not, but

589
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: that's a that's a juicy name. I do want to

590
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: move on briefly from the Lakers to you. I agree

591
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: with you. I'm all about second chances, but third and

592
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: fourth chances that would be yes to me. No, No,

593
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: that's too many, all right, that's too many players get

594
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: traded five or six times. Why the coach. I don't

595
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: think coaches me to go to team four or five

596
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: six times, you know, especially if you have any one

597
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, it's interesting you say that.

598
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm curious. Frank Vogel, he had the chance in Indiana,

599
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: was great with Paul George, then went to Orlando a

600
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: dumpster fire, but nobody wins there, and got a third

601
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: chance with the Lakers. Who wins a championship. Now he'll

602
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: get a fourth chance, because you know that's how the

603
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: NBA is. I'm really quick, Robert on Kyrie Irving, I

604
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: just have to ask about this guy. I've heard some

605
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: horror stories behind the scenes. It's all about Kyrie all

606
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: the time, anywhere he goes. Where are you on? Just

607
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving instigating at the age of thirty. This is

608
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: not some young twenty two year old hothead middle fingering

609
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: the fans and instigating stuff on press conferences. This is

610
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: a thirty year old grown man acting like a buffo.

611
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: I kind of love it, but at the same time,

612
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like, what happens, Robert, it came to us

613
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: somebody throwing something at him, or Kyrie goes in the stands,

614
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: Like are we getting close to something like that? Man?

615
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: You know what I think sometimes with Kyrie, he left

616
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: his emotions get the best of him. And when you

617
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: that's the one thing as an asset, You've got to

618
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: understand that fans are gonna say some outlanders things. They're

619
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: going to react in certain ways, and that's the part

620
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: of the job. You know, you got to say you

621
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: knew the job was dangerous when you took it, and

622
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: you've seen how people are acted with the malice in

623
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: the palace. You've seen the things that with burning, and

624
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: you've seen the things that go on how fans reacted,

625
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: and you've got to understand this comes for fans. For

626
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: you to get upset at people calling you things and

627
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: calling out your names, you got to be bigger than that,

628
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: because the fans, just like you want to go out

629
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: on the court and you know, push a guy and

630
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, you know, pull a guy's shorts. You try

631
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: to irritate them, and that's what fans. They try to

632
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: irritate you. And I think with Kyrie, he has to

633
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: be bigger than he came with his emotions get the

634
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: best of them because he know he's had a crazy

635
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: career and he's one of the most talented guys you

636
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: would ever see played his game, and he got to

637
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: understand that you you got to be bigger than the fans.

638
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: You gotta be bigger than things that are going on.

639
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate that he's trying to be involved in a

640
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: lot of dames and put his voice to work. When

641
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: you're on that court, people are going to try to

642
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: put their voices to work that up to fetch you.

643
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: So he just got to keep his head. Man. It

644
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: feels like he's like amplifying like those that stuff has

645
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: always existed and probably always will exist, right, I mean,

646
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think. I mean, I know you didn't

647
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: experience it because everybody everywhere you went you won, and

648
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: you had a role which you could just be likable,

649
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, big shot Bob. Right. But but everybody's doing

650
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: those it feels like they'll buy. It's like it's like

651
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: retweeting some egg that's like some negative nasty Like why

652
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: are you giving that guy a platform and pretending like

653
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: it matters when when it shouldn't matter. I want to

654
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: ask you really quickly, um, like I love the Suns

655
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: and they've been kind of under the radar and you're

656
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: watching what Chris Ball does and it's amazing. Where are

657
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: you on the Warriors and the likelihood they can be

658
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: competitive at the Sun's level. You know it's play. You

659
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: say that after watching that guy come off the bench

660
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: to do what he did last night when being crypto Ball,

661
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, he is an ultimate trolle for me, you know,

662
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: for him to sit back and say, you know what,

663
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: we gotta just as system going and I'm not I'm

664
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: not going to interrupt that. And you know, if you

665
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: really think about it, go to state has the nineteen

666
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: to four oars. I been on Live nineteen to four,

667
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: you know, and then you turn around and look at

668
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: the seeming Stone, who's eleven to five odds. Ain't gonna

669
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: be a good match up. You know, you've got two

670
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: of the best two guards on the two best shoot guards.

671
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: We havent talk about Dylan Booker enough on how will

672
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: he shoots the ball? He's overshot about how will clearly

673
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: and sprads brother to but you know, they playing extremely

674
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: high and I have to give credit with critics do

675
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not a Phoenix Suns fan at all.

676
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: I love Monty. I think he's the coach at the end,

677
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: he was coaching the year and I think he's great.

678
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: But you got to take the hats off to eight,

679
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: you know, for a guy who's been disrespected by the organization.

680
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: But it's still going on and played its hardest possible,

681
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: still doing this thing, still putting up the numbers, still

682
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: putting up a double double, and everybody in the league

683
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: that got dropped on them has gotten paid except him. Man,

684
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: you got to really understand this day, this day and

685
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: ain't casts all about getting their money and they pot

686
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: when they don't. But this guy has been the up

687
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: and throw, the up of the teammate and going out

688
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: and playing well. So I think when you got guys

689
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: like that, that's that that that can just put things

690
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: aside and play hard for their organization, for their team,

691
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: and for their teammates. It's gonna pay dividends for them.

692
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: And I think the Phoenix Suns to win it all

693
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: this year. Robert real quick Uh, We've seen guys like

694
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony basically be excommunicating from the league if they

695
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't adapt and be cool with a ventral. Alan Iverson

696
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: quickly was vanquished from the league. I mean, I ask

697
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: you this, it's a tough one. Russell Westbrook has one

698
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: more year left on his deal, whether he's with the

699
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: Lakers or Houston or wherever next year. Do you think

700
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: he gets a contract after next season to continue playing

701
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: in the NBA? He would get get another contract, Would

702
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: he get a forty million dollars contract? I don't think so,

703
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: because he's really thinking about it. Russe is still better

704
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: than a lot of these guys in the league, and

705
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: it's all about putting him in the right system. It's

706
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: about getting a chance to go out there and play

707
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: and do things if you can. I can't name all

708
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: the guys, but there's a history of guys that have

709
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: been playing for others. For us is up in age,

710
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: but it's been a history of guys that have gone

711
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,959
Speaker 1: to other teams and floors because the system didn't fit them.

712
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: And I think with Rushbrook, he has to be a

713
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: person that is in a situation where he can dominate

714
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: the ball. And I don't think he and Lebron had

715
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: enough time on the court together where they can understand

716
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: who's going to dominate the basketball. And I think, um,

717
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: Lebron should refer to Westbrook last season a little more

718
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: because Lebron is so dynamic without the ball. He can

719
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: post up, he can do all these other things. But

720
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: it was it was hard for day one because if

721
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: you remember, they never played together, they only played like

722
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty games together. Needed a big D M a D.

723
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: So it was a hard Robert And look again, I

724
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: know you cover for Spectrum Sports that so you see

725
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: every game. And I got a pod out that's dropping

726
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow with Stanley Johnson and he kind of said the

727
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: same thing like just wasn't enough time. I don't know, man,

728
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: the guy can't shoot at all and you can't. There's

729
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: no space, there's no space, there's no he can't he

730
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: had you know what, you know, you can't blame Westbrook.

731
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: Westbrook shot the ball. Badh shot the ball. Bad Ad

732
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: shot the ball bad. I don't like Bron and I

733
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: get it, But but how is it going to get better?

734
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: Over time? He'll be a year older, he's he's shooting

735
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: has gotten worse, not better. You know, it's you have

736
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: to you have to figure things out, man. You know, Uh,

737
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: there's so many it's so many ways you can make

738
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,959
Speaker 1: a player bet. And I know this day in age,

739
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: if we all look at the three ball and we

740
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: judge guys on it if they can shoot the three

741
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: or not. But you know, there's ways you can figure

742
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: around because I sometimes you have to think to deal

743
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: with the bad. And I just don't think Westbrook on

744
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Lebron or a d should get to blame for this

745
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: year because they didn't make the playoffs. I just think

746
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: they had a bad luck year when it came to

747
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: injuries and not playing together. And I know a lot

748
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: of people are always critical as the lagas because they

749
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: are all the lagers. They're always critical of guys who

750
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: are getting that upper echelone for so long. They want to,

751
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, blame them for everything. But last time I checked,

752
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 1: it's about five players on the court at one time,

753
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: not the three the best players on the court. So

754
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, it's not to blame of one.

755
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: It's it's a team blame. He's a great Robert or

Speaker 1: This is the Dan Patrick Show. Um, okay, So look

772
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs tonight. You got Atlanta Miami. Uh and obviously

773
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: Miami dominated Atlanta and Tree Young was awful in Game

774
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: one Memphis Minnesota. Minnesota got the road win in Game one,

775
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: and Phoenix dominated New Orleans in Game one. So two

776
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: home teams. One of course Minnesota stole one on the road.

777
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: What jumps out at you? Jay? So I'm betting nightly

778
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: for Fox Sports and I'm twelve and six so far,

779
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: it's been a really nice run tonight. I like Jaren

780
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: Jackson over fourteen and a half points. He's gonna have

781
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: a good bounce back game. I think he defends cat Well.

782
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: I like Memphis to win. I don't know about cover.

783
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just I don't like this Atlanta Hawks

784
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: matchup against Miami. I know a lot of people think

785
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: oh Hawks are gonna show up Doug is Capella playing tonight,

786
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's back yet. I like

787
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: Miami in this one. I think Miami takes care of Atlanta.

788
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: I think they go up to nothing. I think we

789
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: could see a sweep or gentleman sweep. And then I'm sorry,

790
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm not getting in front of the Phoenix train. I

791
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: got in front of the Jordan Pool train last night

792
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 1: like an idiot. Oh, he's not gonna have another great game.

793
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: He had an a great game, Tyrese, Maxie and Jordan

794
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: pooled two of the hottest players in the league right now.

795
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: And Phoenix has one who can who can cook quickly

796
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: and booker. Chris Paul took over in the fourth. By

797
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: the way, Doug, did you see that Chris Paul was saying,

798
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: Willie Green is a former is coaching the Pells, but

799
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: he used to coach his sons. So Willie Green was

800
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: calling out the defensive assignments in the fourth quarter, and

801
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: Chris Paul knew the defensive assignments because Willie Green used

802
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: to be a Sons coach. And Chris Paul just torched

803
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: them like every time down the floor, called out exactly

804
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: what they were going to do. And I think he

805
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: scored like fourteen points in the fourth. It was pretty

806
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: awesome to watch him, and I'm not even They changed

807
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to try and like, let's make Chris

808
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 1: Paul beat us by shooting, because Chris Paul really wants

809
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: to beat you by, you know, with creating for others.

810
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: And Chris Paul was like, okay, I mean his ability

811
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: to to do two things simultaneously. One obviously make the plays,

812
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: but to know what's coming and have a feel for

813
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: what the what the answer is so so okay. From

814
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: a gambling perspective, Doug, do you think Willie Green changes

815
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: and says we're gonna hard double everything Chris Paul does

816
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands as a gambler?

817
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Is the move then to bet Chris Paul points under

818
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: or assists over or both, because I think obviously New

819
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: Orleans has to change what they're doing defensively, right, Yes, okay,

820
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: you have coached at a lot of levels. What's the

821
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: movie Defenders? Huh do you switch? Defenders? Do you double?

822
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: Do you hard double? You can't go under? I don't think.

823
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't think, well there's not you can't. You can't

824
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: just have one coverage. And I think that was the

825
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: brilliance to Emi Udoka, right they they defended it differently

826
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: in the last possession they did the rest of the game.

827
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: They just threw through to a Kyrie Irving and he

828
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't come off the ball. Um, I look, I do

829
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: I would do under in the points. I would do

830
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: under in the points. You know, is there is there

831
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: a chance that that they're just like, hey, we're gonna

832
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: make Chris Paul beatus the whole game. See if you

833
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: can get forty. That's that's one way to live. That's

834
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: generally why he scores more in the playoffs than he

835
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: does in the regular season. It's the same thing with

836
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, Lebron ways have been the playoffs because people

837
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: know that the best thing they do is create for

838
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: other people more than create for themselves. Is there a

839
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: dog that you like tonight? Everybody's all over the favorites.

840
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: My Atlanta would be the dog just in terms of

841
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: if they can get hot and shooting. And I can't

842
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: think Tray would be that bad again, would Jason mcadire.

843
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: I'm Doug Gottlieb have a great day. The Sedan Patrick Show.
