Dan Patrick Show, 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.200 got a busy show coming up. Jim Jackson, the Turner 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.160 Sports NBA analyst, will recap what we saw last night. 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.120 The Nets rolled the Celtics, Lakers beat the Suns, MAVs 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.920 up two oh and the Clippers. We'll also check in 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.440 with Clayton Kershaw the Dodgers. Dodgers against the Astros last night. 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.479 It was spirited. Kershaw pitched really well. He'll join us 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.919 in the final hour of the program. Chris Simms from 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.159 Pro Football Talk will tell you where he thinks Julio 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.560 Jones wants to go. Whether he'll end up in either 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.319 one of those places remains to be seeing. He'll join 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.800 us coming up a little bit later on. We're part 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.160 of the Fox Sports Radio lineup. iHeart Radio nearly four 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.720 hundred cities around America carrying this program, and you can 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.600 watch streaming services Peacock download the app. You can watch 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.040 for free. Phone numbers eight seven seven three DP show 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:13.360 operator Marvin is standing by the tweets gathered by Mario 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.080 and if you'd like to email good luck, they may 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.039 find their way into my hands. Not quite sure, but 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.959 eight seven seven three d P show email address DP 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.960 at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.080 tonight the Wizards at the seventy six Ers, Hawks at 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.720 the Knicks, and the Grizzlies at the Jazz. When we 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.040 talk about super teams, we say things like the Big 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.360 three or the Big two. We tend to forget how 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.560 important the rest of the roster is. The Lakers couldn't 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.560 have won the title last year if you didn't have 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.240 role players stepping up. The Brooklyn Nets are a super team. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.160 They've got the Big three, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.760 James Harden. Joe Harris had seven three pointers last night, 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.600 and the Nets over a Celtic team that doesn't have 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.960 Jalen Brown don't really stand a chance. Then you get 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.320 contributions from Harris, Blake Griffin, Jeff Green, and if they 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.960 get that, they're gonna be tough to beat. Because we 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.760 know that Duran and Irving Harden can get hot on 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.760 any given night. But if you have that strong supporting 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.119 cast that gives you that insurance policy if let's say 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.920 two of the Big three goes cold on a particular night. 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.680 It's a formula that's worked through the first two games 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.200 against Boston, could work all the way through the NBA Finals. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.000 And we're seeing this with the Clippers last night. Paul George, 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:36.440 Kyrie Irving both played well once again to the great 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.800 wing defenders in the NBA couldn't stop Luca don Chick. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.799 But Paul George playoff pee said, don't worry, not yet. 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.800 There's no level of concern. I mean, we just gotta 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.000 play our game. We gotta play through this. We got 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.239 we gotta incorporate our defense. Lucas gonna get his touches. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.480 We just gotta do a better job defensively. Have just 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.520 quite everyone else. Well, they didn't do that, because the 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.480 map shot fifty eight percent from the floor last night, 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:13.080 and Luca don Chick has played eight playoff games, all 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:18.040 against the Clippers. He's averaging about thirty two points a 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.840 game for those eight playoff games. Got to figure out 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.160 a way to slow him down. This isn't a case 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.240 of hey, let's shut down everybody else. You didn't do either, 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.280 one last night. But if you're shooting fifty three percent 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:37.480 from three point range and you have two great wing defenders, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.640 I don't get it now. I don't put all of 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.080 this on Paul George and Kawhi Leonard Kawai had forty one. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.360 You know, the supporting cast is just not strong and 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:55.440 some of the signed. They signed Luke Knard to a 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.680 sixty million, seventy million dollar contract in the offseason. He 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:06.200 has a played He's a healthy scratch. When Sergeibaka's your 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:11.040 big offseason acquisition, it's just you gotta have a supporting cast. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.080 You know. The Lakers know this, the Nets know this. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.080 You gotta have some people who can fill in, step up. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.680 And right now, the Clippers, I mean, Paul George is 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.640 saying the right thing. Hey, he's trying to say that's 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.479 almost something you say in the locker room. Hey, let's 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:34.240 not panic here, but outwardly, yes, you should be concerned. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.960 You just lost two games at home to the Dallas Mavericks. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.640 You wanted the Mavericks, Remember, you didn't want the Lakers. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.159 You wanted to get them in the you know, not 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.960 the second round, third round. Okay, you wanted this. This 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:53.360 was your strategy. Well, stop being you know, overly concerned 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.320 about facing the Lakers and worry about stopping Luca don 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.440 Chick and his supporting cast or it will be over quickly. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.120 And now the series goes to Dallas. The Lakers did 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.120 what they were supposed to do. You win in Phoenix. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.680 Chris Paul's injury certainly played a role. Sons made an 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.040 interesting late in the game. Anthony Davis did what I said, 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.120 this sounds like common sense. You got to get to 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.360 the free throw line. You've got to force the issue here. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.880 He had twenty one free throw attempts. I mean, this 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.320 isn't you know, some great strategy. You don't have to 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.839 be a zen master. It's just you're the biggest guy 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.760 on the floor. Get to the hoop, get fouled, shoot 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.679 free throws. You're good at shooting free throws. Get them 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:47.360 in foul trouble. DeAndre Ayton has played pretty well both games, 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.640 but without Chris Paul, or at least a substandard Chris Paul, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.880 Phoenix is not going to win this series. He's that 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.320 valuable to them. I mean, you know, keep that in mind. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.279 It might be a top five MVP candidate, and he 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.359 was certainly limited last night. Anthony Davis has now scored 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.080 at least thirty points in nine playoff games since joining 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:11.919 the Lakers, the most of any player in the NBA. Kawhi, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.840 Lebron and Hardener tied for second with eight, and they 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.760 avoided going down zero two thanks to Anthony Davis's thirty 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.800 four point performance last night. Now I need a back 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.400 to back performance. Now you have to come home and 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.600 you know, don't fall back to Hey, I got sixteen 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.960 points and nine rebounds. That's just not going to cut it. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.880 Now is when you this is where you can rest 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.159 if you're able to put away the Phoenix Suns, if 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.440 you come back home and you win these games. But 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.440 it feels like there's always that inconsistency, and a lot 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.719 of that is just this team getting back on the 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.839 floor together and getting that rhythm. And you saw a 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.279 little bit more of that last night. But it comes 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.800 with Anthony Davis. As great as Lebron is. You're not 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.440 winning the title without Anthony Davis being great. And we 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.040 saw that in the bubble last year. Nick Lovin, what's 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:10.520 the poll question today? Okay, this is mean, but do 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.120 you think if you ask Kawhi Leonard. Honestly, would he 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.320 want a mulligan and stay in Toronto and never go 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:20.960 to the Clippers. I think he likes La, likes the lifestyle, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.160 wanted to go back home, got to play with Paul George. 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.920 I think he would like a mulligan on some of 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.360 the players that they were going to bring in in 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.360 the off season. I mean, imagine, you go, hey, we 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.600 got Luke Kennard, all right, good shooter, played at Duke, 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:45.040 got playoff Rondo. Remember playoff Rondo got Patrick Beverley, he's 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:53.040 the past, one of the Morris brothers. Okay, like you're going, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:58.280 sir Jamaka, Okay, there's nobody who's going. Did you see 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.560 who the Clippers got? Oh my god, did you see 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.880 who they signed? I don't think there was one of 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.160 those moments. Yeah, point oh, I may like it. You know, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.760 you could. You could to have June off. You had 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:11.640 to work in June when you played for the Raptors. 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:17.680 Uh not this year? Though not this year? What else 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.960 do you have? Okay, another a completely mean question, and 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.160 this might be totally inappropriate, but if Chris Paul and 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.400 the Signs go out in this round and Chris Paul's 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.280 reaching the end just based on age. Will his career 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.199 be a little bit disappointing because he never had any 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:41.559 playoff success? No, I don't think it will be because 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.120 I think he's better than people thought he was going 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.880 to be. I mean, he's a wonderful story at wake Forest, 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.599 but you still weren't quite sure how good he was 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.120 going to be in the pros. And he almost got 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.560 traded to the Lakers, and you wonder what his career 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.000 would have been like. And that was ten years ago 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.640 where the NBA staped him because the NBA was running 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.520 the team in New Orleans at the time, and they 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.520 said no, David Stern said, no, I'm not going to 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.480 allow that trade to go through. He's not a guy 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.439 who jumps high. He's not fast. I mean, just a 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.800 smart basketball player, tough basketball player. But no, I wouldn't 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.400 view it as a disappointment. Yeah. Do you think I 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.600 think Chris Paul is a free agent this summer player? 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.439 He has a player option to be a free agent. 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.680 Do you think a guy like him will be attractive 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.040 to a team that's real close They just wants to 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.840 add that point guard. He could pick up another thirty million. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.520 He showed this year he's still got a good amount left. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:36.679 I thought he was going to go to the Lakers, 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.960 but I think he likes what they have in Phoenix. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.320 I think he likes his role there, and and he's 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.400 a leader. I think he likes being that that veteran leader. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.960 I mean, he did it in Oklahoma City. They surprised everybody. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.360 It's like, you know, I thought you guys were tanking, 0:09:55.080 --> 0:10:00.439 not with Chris Paul. But he's certainly made a lot money. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:07.800 If I career's salary for Chris Paul, Yeah, do you 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.200 got any music for that with you? All right? How 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:17.280 about the careers salary game for Chris Paul. Here's your host, Paulie. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.040 I might need a second, here, might need a calculator. Yeah, 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.760 with your thunder. He made thirty eight million with the Suns. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.240 They're paying him forty one large, and he's got forty 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.439 four coming next year, forty four play and it's a 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.680 player option. He could just say sure, I'll stay. I 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.079 think if it's forty four, you're staying. Yeah, I think 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.720 he's staying in Phoenix. Like, I'm not paying Chris Paul 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.800 more than forty four million, I'm stay in prison for 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.600 forty four million. Okay, closest to the whole, Chris Paul. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.800 Total salary including this year, not including next year, the 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.920 forty four. How many years, little boy? I think fourteen 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:03.160 or maybe a little low here. Fourteen years, okay, fourteen years, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.520 fifteen season, fifteen seasons. Can I ask what the lowest 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.920 he made in a season as a rook He made 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.320 three point one million, okay, and then he went on 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.400 to he never got major paid until second half of 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.280 his Clipper career. I made up for it in a hurry. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:30.000 How about I do fifteen years averaging eighteen How about 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:35.600 fifteen years averaging eight seen night, Let's put this way. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.600 He doesn't need the state farm commercials. That's just say okay, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.120 that's tip money. Okay. How about fifteen years? He average 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.960 is eighteen million dollars a year? Okay, total number, yeah, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.800 Chris Paul? Yeah whatever. Fifteen times eighteen is? You need 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.559 to hire side. You know what fifteen times eighteen is? 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.800 I thought it was two seventies. That sway towards and 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.920 seventy thousand. He's made one eighty and double three sixties 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.640 between those two two seven to seventy. I'm not I'm 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.120 not telling you that two hundred and seventy million. You're 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.520 saying something no, yeah, but I'm gonna go I'm gonna 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:15.040 go two seventy five. For Chris Paul fifteen years, averaging 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.440 a little over eighteen million dollars a year, He's at 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.280 the end of the season, he will have made three 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.480 hundred million even in his pro career, and he's got 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:31.319 another forty four coming case things go bad. Let's say investments, yes, eleven, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.200 and like that's guaranteed forty fourth the NFL where they 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.080 can pull the plug on. All right, yeah, getting forty four. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.200 What's it like though, when you go from like, all right, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.559 this year, I'm gonna make forty four million and next year, 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.520 oh only seven. Okay, Well when he retires, he's gonna 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:50.760 go from forty four to zero. Yeah.

Yes, point, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.400 Chris Paul will make more money next year than Michael 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.040 Jordan and Larry Bird made their careers on the court.

Mercedes spends Vans 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.959 built equipped, an engineered to be ready for anything, go 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.000 that extra mile, taking the all important first step into 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:28.120 an authorized dealership today. What other poll questions? Mcluck Okay, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.480 Luca dominating. Yeah, time for the twenty four and under poll? 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.360 Who are you building around? I know the recency bias 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.040 is going to be all Luca, but a couple other 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.120 players Jason Tatum's twenty three, Lucas twenty two, Devin Booker 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.559 is an old twenty four, Trey Young emerging on the 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.240 scene twenty two, and Zion is twenty. Is there any 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.840 that's a runaway pole? Right? Yeah, it's Luca. I mean 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.439 you might put even Janis twenty six, Yoka twenty six, 0:13:55.480 --> 0:14:02.280 it's still Luca, right, yeah? Probably? So you know, Zion 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.520 would get love just because of the excitement level. And 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.000 you know, we haven't seen the ceiling. You know. I 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.800 feel like I know what Luca can do. I don't 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.160 know how much more he can do. It's just being 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.000 consistent and it's not one of those He's not one 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.320 of those players where you go, well, when he starts 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:24.120 to slow down, like he's not fast now, but he's 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.200 just a smart player. I like how Paul George goes, 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:31.400 you know, Luca is good, No, lucas great. Maybe that's 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.120 part of the problem. Luca is not good, he's great. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.680 Then he went on to say, well he's a special player. Yeah, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.440 he's great and a special player, and you should probably 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.680 treat him that way. Yeah, Paul, Zion's not that far 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.760 behind at the same age and the second year, Zion's 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.240 averaging twenty seven and seven, Luca's averaging twenty nine and eight. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:55.000 It's really close numbers on. Luca's got more stats, more threes, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.400 more assists, but Zion's only a point and a half 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:00.960 behind him. Scoring well, he can, but he's not going 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:05.200 to shoot the three even a rebound wise, Luca is 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.640 probably as good, if not better, rebounder, and obviously a 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.040 better passer. But I mean, Luca's just a better all 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.480 around player. And Zion if he gets that mid range 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.960 jumper and he does have a nice shot, but it's 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.520 a set shot. Zion when he gets the ball, he 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.520 does something with the ball right away, where Luca has 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.760 the ball the whole time, yeah, McLevin. To win in 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.880 the playoffs, don't you need a guy like Luca who 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.600 will handle the ball and create its own shot and 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.640 crunchtein or Zion's never going to be that Lebron Luca 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:44.280 ball handler type. Probably not, But he's still an explosive scorer. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.360 We know that. I know he plays some point guard, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.360 but it's a little different though. Yeah, then with Luca, 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.360 Lucas got to improve his free throw shooting. If you 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:55.560 have the ball, anybody who has the ball that amount 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.520 of time, you just you got to be at least 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:02.000 an eighty percent free throw shooter. Do And that's the 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.400 problem with the Greek freak. He has the ball and 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.120 he's not a good free throw shooter. Now, Lebron is 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.680 a spotty free throw shooter. There's certain guys that big 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:16.280 situation they shoot better when there's more pressure there. But yeah, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:18.720 those are concerns that I have with some of these 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.720 younger players. You know, Ben Simmons, you have the ball 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.080 at the time, you got to shoot free throws better. Yeah, point, 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.320 I think Zion could be the guy with the ball 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.760 at the end of the game where he makes the play. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.760 Barkley morphed into that, like his second like when he 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.880 hit his prime, Barkley became the guy at the top 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:33.160 of the gay. Now he'd take it to the lane 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.680 and pull up and drive. He wasn't taking threes. But 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.000 I think Zion could be exactly what Barkley was in 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.240 his prime. Joe and Florida leads this off this morning. Joe, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.240 what's on your mind? Hey Dan, how's it going? Fellas? 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:47.880 Is it just me or is it kind of obvious 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.240 that the Clippers are just that's just who they are, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.200 whether it was Katino Mobili and Elton Brand or it 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.200 was lob City. You know, there's just it seems like 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.480 a little gimmick of a franchise to doing a lot 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.880 of things to sell tickets, and it seems like that's 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.760 just the always ways they'll be. They'll always be forever 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.679 chasing the purple and gold. You guys have a great one, 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.119 all right, Thank you, Joe, Gus and Los Angeles. I 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.200 guess what's on your mind today? Good morning, missus DP. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.280 We've got my Lakers winning, the Dodgers getting some revenge, 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.560 the Clippers losing. It's a great day for LA Sports. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.320 I will tell you that, mister Patrick. Great day and 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.400 It's got me feeling good today because look, unfortunately, without 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.359 Chris Paul, this series is over. There's no way that 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.160 Chris Paul coming back now got me feeling a little 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:40.520 confident to once again give the Dannetts a redemption. I 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.160 called in last season. I said the Lakers were gonna 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.760 do it. Nobody manned up. I'm calling again to see 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.920 if anyone's got the stones to challenge me to a 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.040 shower of shame. I'll gladly go to Santa Monica Beach. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:18:00.520 Throw some sanding honey on me. Who wants some, Paulie, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.000 it's actually honey than sand sand, and that's a honey. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.200 Nothing actually happens. The sand just cascades down your body. Okay, 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.480 all right, all right, Gus. I knew what Gus was 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.680 talking before. McLevin, are you sold on your your nets? 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.440 By the way, mclovin did guarantee the Lakers we're gonna 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.680 win last night? I know. So I get to pick 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.080 me Friday, Yeah you do. I just prepared the menu. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:25.840 You're not gonna like it. Okay, but so what's about exactly? 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.280 It's uh, Gus has the Lakers winning at all? You 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.679 get every other team? Yeah, Seaton. I'll take that, okay, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.760 all right, there you go, Gus Seaton. Seaton wants a 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.280 piece of you. All right, there we go.

We had 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:22.679 fun yesterday.

This our fourth year 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.000 doing the calendar. Yeah, Po, you guys remember the first 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.720 album where you opened it and read what was on 0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.480 the back and it was like an experience growing up. 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.359 Was there one that stood out? We're like, this is something, 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:58.560 the picture, the words, the notes. I remember my brother 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.639 had albums. I couldn't afford the albums, but I remember 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:08.080 he had Jimmy Hendricks had Credence, Clearwater Revival, and he 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.920 had a Zeppelin album. And then I remember when he 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:15.720
