Speaker 1: but we're brutal. That's only Wednesday. Yeah, welcome to the program.
Speaker 1: It's our one, Dan and the dan Ets. Dan Patrick Show,
Speaker 1: got a busy show coming up. Jim Jackson, the Turner
Speaker 1: Sports NBA analyst, will recap what we saw last night.
Speaker 1: The Nets rolled the Celtics, Lakers beat the Suns, MAVs
Speaker 1: up two oh and the Clippers. We'll also check in
Speaker 1: with Clayton Kershaw the Dodgers. Dodgers against the Astros last night.
Speaker 1: It was spirited. Kershaw pitched really well. He'll join us
Speaker 1: in the final hour of the program. Chris Simms from
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk will tell you where he thinks Julio
Speaker 1: Jones wants to go. Whether he'll end up in either
Speaker 1: one of those places remains to be seeing. He'll join
Speaker 1: us coming up a little bit later on. We're part
Speaker 1: of the Fox Sports Radio lineup. iHeart Radio nearly four

Speaker 1: tonight the Wizards at the seventy six Ers, Hawks at
Speaker 1: the Knicks, and the Grizzlies at the Jazz. When we
Speaker 1: talk about super teams, we say things like the Big
Speaker 1: three or the Big two. We tend to forget how
Speaker 1: important the rest of the roster is. The Lakers couldn't
Speaker 1: have won the title last year if you didn't have
Speaker 1: role players stepping up. The Brooklyn Nets are a super team.
Speaker 1: They've got the Big three, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and
Speaker 1: James Harden. Joe Harris had seven three pointers last night,
Speaker 1: and the Nets over a Celtic team that doesn't have
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown don't really stand a chance. Then you get
Speaker 1: contributions from Harris, Blake Griffin, Jeff Green, and if they
Speaker 1: get that, they're gonna be tough to beat. Because we
Speaker 1: know that Duran and Irving Harden can get hot on
Speaker 1: any given night. But if you have that strong supporting
Speaker 1: cast that gives you that insurance policy if let's say
Speaker 1: two of the Big three goes cold on a particular night.
Speaker 1: It's a formula that's worked through the first two games
Speaker 1: against Boston, could work all the way through the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: And we're seeing this with the Clippers last night. Paul George,
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving both played well once again to the great
Speaker 1: wing defenders in the NBA couldn't stop Luca don Chick.
Speaker 1: But Paul George playoff pee said, don't worry, not yet.
Speaker 1: There's no level of concern. I mean, we just gotta
Speaker 1: play our game. We gotta play through this. We got
Speaker 1: we gotta incorporate our defense. Lucas gonna get his touches.
Speaker 1: We just gotta do a better job defensively. Have just
Speaker 1: quite everyone else. Well, they didn't do that, because the
Speaker 1: map shot fifty eight percent from the floor last night,
Speaker 1: and Luca don Chick has played eight playoff games, all
Speaker 1: against the Clippers. He's averaging about thirty two points a
Speaker 1: game for those eight playoff games. Got to figure out
Speaker 1: a way to slow him down. This isn't a case
Speaker 1: of hey, let's shut down everybody else. You didn't do either,
Speaker 1: one last night. But if you're shooting fifty three percent
Speaker 1: from three point range and you have two great wing defenders,
Speaker 1: I don't get it now. I don't put all of
Speaker 1: this on Paul George and Kawhi Leonard Kawai had forty one.
Speaker 1: You know, the supporting cast is just not strong and
Speaker 1: some of the signed. They signed Luke Knard to a
Speaker 1: sixty million, seventy million dollar contract in the offseason. He
Speaker 1: has a played He's a healthy scratch. When Sergeibaka's your
Speaker 1: big offseason acquisition, it's just you gotta have a supporting cast.
Speaker 1: You know. The Lakers know this, the Nets know this.
Speaker 1: You gotta have some people who can fill in, step up.
Speaker 1: And right now, the Clippers, I mean, Paul George is
Speaker 1: saying the right thing. Hey, he's trying to say that's
Speaker 1: almost something you say in the locker room. Hey, let's
Speaker 1: not panic here, but outwardly, yes, you should be concerned.
Speaker 1: You just lost two games at home to the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 1: You wanted the Mavericks, Remember, you didn't want the Lakers.
Speaker 1: You wanted to get them in the you know, not
Speaker 1: the second round, third round. Okay, you wanted this. This
Speaker 1: was your strategy. Well, stop being you know, overly concerned
Speaker 1: about facing the Lakers and worry about stopping Luca don
Speaker 1: Chick and his supporting cast or it will be over quickly.
Speaker 1: And now the series goes to Dallas. The Lakers did
Speaker 1: what they were supposed to do. You win in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Chris Paul's injury certainly played a role. Sons made an
Speaker 1: interesting late in the game. Anthony Davis did what I said,
Speaker 1: this sounds like common sense. You got to get to
Speaker 1: the free throw line. You've got to force the issue here.
Speaker 1: He had twenty one free throw attempts. I mean, this
Speaker 1: isn't you know, some great strategy. You don't have to
Speaker 1: be a zen master. It's just you're the biggest guy
Speaker 1: on the floor. Get to the hoop, get fouled, shoot
Speaker 1: free throws. You're good at shooting free throws. Get them
Speaker 1: in foul trouble. DeAndre Ayton has played pretty well both games,
Speaker 1: but without Chris Paul, or at least a substandard Chris Paul,
Speaker 1: Phoenix is not going to win this series. He's that
Speaker 1: valuable to them. I mean, you know, keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: It might be a top five MVP candidate, and he
Speaker 1: was certainly limited last night. Anthony Davis has now scored
Speaker 1: at least thirty points in nine playoff games since joining
Speaker 1: the Lakers, the most of any player in the NBA. Kawhi,
Speaker 1: Lebron and Hardener tied for second with eight, and they
Speaker 1: avoided going down zero two thanks to Anthony Davis's thirty
Speaker 1: four point performance last night. Now I need a back
Speaker 1: to back performance. Now you have to come home and
Speaker 1: you know, don't fall back to Hey, I got sixteen
Speaker 1: points and nine rebounds. That's just not going to cut it.
Speaker 1: Now is when you this is where you can rest
Speaker 1: if you're able to put away the Phoenix Suns, if
Speaker 1: you come back home and you win these games. But
Speaker 1: it feels like there's always that inconsistency, and a lot
Speaker 1: of that is just this team getting back on the
Speaker 1: floor together and getting that rhythm. And you saw a
Speaker 1: little bit more of that last night. But it comes
Speaker 1: with Anthony Davis. As great as Lebron is. You're not
Speaker 1: winning the title without Anthony Davis being great. And we
Speaker 1: saw that in the bubble last year. Nick Lovin, what's
Speaker 1: the poll question today? Okay, this is mean, but do
Speaker 1: you think if you ask Kawhi Leonard. Honestly, would he
Speaker 1: want a mulligan and stay in Toronto and never go
Speaker 1: to the Clippers. I think he likes La, likes the lifestyle,
Speaker 1: wanted to go back home, got to play with Paul George.
Speaker 1: I think he would like a mulligan on some of
Speaker 1: the players that they were going to bring in in
Speaker 1: the off season. I mean, imagine, you go, hey, we
Speaker 1: got Luke Kennard, all right, good shooter, played at Duke,
Speaker 1: got playoff Rondo. Remember playoff Rondo got Patrick Beverley, he's
Speaker 1: the past, one of the Morris brothers. Okay, like you're going,
Speaker 1: sir Jamaka, Okay, there's nobody who's going. Did you see
Speaker 1: who the Clippers got? Oh my god, did you see
Speaker 1: who they signed? I don't think there was one of
Speaker 1: those moments. Yeah, point oh, I may like it. You know,
Speaker 1: you could. You could to have June off. You had
Speaker 1: to work in June when you played for the Raptors.
Speaker 1: Uh not this year? Though not this year? What else
Speaker 1: do you have? Okay, another a completely mean question, and
Speaker 1: this might be totally inappropriate, but if Chris Paul and
Speaker 1: the Signs go out in this round and Chris Paul's
Speaker 1: reaching the end just based on age. Will his career
Speaker 1: be a little bit disappointing because he never had any
Speaker 1: playoff success? No, I don't think it will be because
Speaker 1: I think he's better than people thought he was going
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, he's a wonderful story at wake Forest,
Speaker 1: but you still weren't quite sure how good he was
Speaker 1: going to be in the pros. And he almost got
Speaker 1: traded to the Lakers, and you wonder what his career
Speaker 1: would have been like. And that was ten years ago
Speaker 1: where the NBA staped him because the NBA was running
Speaker 1: the team in New Orleans at the time, and they
Speaker 1: said no, David Stern said, no, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: allow that trade to go through. He's not a guy
Speaker 1: who jumps high. He's not fast. I mean, just a
Speaker 1: smart basketball player, tough basketball player. But no, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: view it as a disappointment. Yeah. Do you think I
Speaker 1: think Chris Paul is a free agent this summer player?
Speaker 1: He has a player option to be a free agent.
Speaker 1: Do you think a guy like him will be attractive
Speaker 1: to a team that's real close They just wants to
Speaker 1: add that point guard. He could pick up another thirty million.
Speaker 1: He showed this year he's still got a good amount left.
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to go to the Lakers,
Speaker 1: but I think he likes what they have in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: I think he likes his role there, and and he's
Speaker 1: a leader. I think he likes being that that veteran leader.
Speaker 1: I mean, he did it in Oklahoma City. They surprised everybody.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I thought you guys were tanking,
Speaker 1: not with Chris Paul. But he's certainly made a lot money.
Speaker 1: If I career's salary for Chris Paul, Yeah, do you
Speaker 1: got any music for that with you? All right? How
Speaker 1: about the careers salary game for Chris Paul. Here's your host, Paulie.
Speaker 1: I might need a second, here, might need a calculator. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with your thunder. He made thirty eight million with the Suns.
Speaker 1: They're paying him forty one large, and he's got forty
Speaker 1: four coming next year, forty four play and it's a
Speaker 1: player option. He could just say sure, I'll stay. I
Speaker 1: think if it's forty four, you're staying. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he's staying in Phoenix. Like, I'm not paying Chris Paul
Speaker 1: more than forty four million, I'm stay in prison for
Speaker 1: forty four million. Okay, closest to the whole, Chris Paul.
Speaker 1: Total salary including this year, not including next year, the
Speaker 1: forty four. How many years, little boy? I think fourteen
Speaker 1: or maybe a little low here. Fourteen years, okay, fourteen years,
Speaker 1: fifteen season, fifteen seasons. Can I ask what the lowest
Speaker 1: he made in a season as a rook He made
Speaker 1: three point one million, okay, and then he went on
Speaker 1: to he never got major paid until second half of
Speaker 1: his Clipper career. I made up for it in a hurry.
Speaker 1: How about I do fifteen years averaging eighteen How about
Speaker 1: fifteen years averaging eight seen night, Let's put this way.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need the state farm commercials. That's just say okay,
Speaker 1: that's tip money. Okay. How about fifteen years? He average
Speaker 1: is eighteen million dollars a year? Okay, total number, yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris Paul? Yeah whatever. Fifteen times eighteen is? You need
Speaker 1: to hire side. You know what fifteen times eighteen is?
Speaker 1: I thought it was two seventies. That sway towards and
Speaker 1: seventy thousand. He's made one eighty and double three sixties
Speaker 1: between those two two seven to seventy. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you that two hundred and seventy million. You're
Speaker 1: saying something no, yeah, but I'm gonna go I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go two seventy five. For Chris Paul fifteen years, averaging
Speaker 1: a little over eighteen million dollars a year, He's at
Speaker 1: the end of the season, he will have made three
Speaker 1: hundred million even in his pro career, and he's got
Speaker 1: another forty four coming case things go bad. Let's say investments, yes, eleven,
Speaker 1: and like that's guaranteed forty fourth the NFL where they
Speaker 1: can pull the plug on. All right, yeah, getting forty four.
Speaker 1: What's it like though, when you go from like, all right,
Speaker 1: this year, I'm gonna make forty four million and next year,
Speaker 1: oh only seven. Okay, Well when he retires, he's gonna
Speaker 1: go from forty four to zero. Yeah. Oh, like whatever
Speaker 1: network is gonna hire me to do with a basketball
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. What are you getting, like, oh, two million,
Speaker 1: which is great money for everyone else in the world
Speaker 1: unless you were just making forty four million a year. Yes, point,
Speaker 1: Chris Paul will make more money next year than Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan and Larry Bird made their careers on the court. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this program brought to you buy Mercedes spends Vans. They
Speaker 1: go far beyond from their customization options, cutting edge tech,
Speaker 1: five star sales service, financial support crew. Mercedes spends Vans
Speaker 1: built equipped, an engineered to be ready for anything, go
Speaker 1: that extra mile, taking the all important first step into
Speaker 1: an authorized dealership today. What other poll questions? Mcluck Okay,
Speaker 1: Luca dominating. Yeah, time for the twenty four and under poll?
Speaker 1: Who are you building around? I know the recency bias
Speaker 1: is going to be all Luca, but a couple other
Speaker 1: players Jason Tatum's twenty three, Lucas twenty two, Devin Booker
Speaker 1: is an old twenty four, Trey Young emerging on the
Speaker 1: scene twenty two, and Zion is twenty. Is there any
Speaker 1: that's a runaway pole? Right? Yeah, it's Luca. I mean
Speaker 1: you might put even Janis twenty six, Yoka twenty six,
Speaker 1: it's still Luca, right, yeah? Probably? So you know, Zion
Speaker 1: would get love just because of the excitement level. And
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't seen the ceiling. You know. I
Speaker 1: feel like I know what Luca can do. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much more he can do. It's just being
Speaker 1: consistent and it's not one of those He's not one
Speaker 1: of those players where you go, well, when he starts
Speaker 1: to slow down, like he's not fast now, but he's
Speaker 1: just a smart player. I like how Paul George goes,
Speaker 1: you know, Luca is good, No, lucas great. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: part of the problem. Luca is not good, he's great.
Speaker 1: Then he went on to say, well he's a special player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's great and a special player, and you should probably
Speaker 1: treat him that way. Yeah, Paul, Zion's not that far
Speaker 1: behind at the same age and the second year, Zion's
Speaker 1: averaging twenty seven and seven, Luca's averaging twenty nine and eight.
Speaker 1: It's really close numbers on. Luca's got more stats, more threes,
Speaker 1: more assists, but Zion's only a point and a half
Speaker 1: behind him. Scoring well, he can, but he's not going
Speaker 1: to shoot the three even a rebound wise, Luca is
Speaker 1: probably as good, if not better, rebounder, and obviously a
Speaker 1: better passer. But I mean, Luca's just a better all
Speaker 1: around player. And Zion if he gets that mid range
Speaker 1: jumper and he does have a nice shot, but it's
Speaker 1: a set shot. Zion when he gets the ball, he
Speaker 1: does something with the ball right away, where Luca has
Speaker 1: the ball the whole time, yeah, McLevin. To win in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, don't you need a guy like Luca who
Speaker 1: will handle the ball and create its own shot and
Speaker 1: crunchtein or Zion's never going to be that Lebron Luca
Speaker 1: ball handler type. Probably not, But he's still an explosive scorer.
Speaker 1: We know that. I know he plays some point guard,
Speaker 1: but it's a little different though. Yeah, then with Luca,
Speaker 1: Lucas got to improve his free throw shooting. If you
Speaker 1: have the ball, anybody who has the ball that amount
Speaker 1: of time, you just you got to be at least
Speaker 1: an eighty percent free throw shooter. Do And that's the
Speaker 1: problem with the Greek freak. He has the ball and
Speaker 1: he's not a good free throw shooter. Now, Lebron is
Speaker 1: a spotty free throw shooter. There's certain guys that big
Speaker 1: situation they shoot better when there's more pressure there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: those are concerns that I have with some of these
Speaker 1: younger players. You know, Ben Simmons, you have the ball
Speaker 1: at the time, you got to shoot free throws better. Yeah, point,
Speaker 1: I think Zion could be the guy with the ball
Speaker 1: at the end of the game where he makes the play.
Speaker 1: Barkley morphed into that, like his second like when he
Speaker 1: hit his prime, Barkley became the guy at the top
Speaker 1: of the gay. Now he'd take it to the lane
Speaker 1: and pull up and drive. He wasn't taking threes. But
Speaker 1: I think Zion could be exactly what Barkley was in
Speaker 1: his prime. Joe and Florida leads this off this morning. Joe,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey Dan, how's it going? Fellas?
Speaker 1: Is it just me or is it kind of obvious
Speaker 1: that the Clippers are just that's just who they are,
Speaker 1: whether it was Katino Mobili and Elton Brand or it
Speaker 1: was lob City. You know, there's just it seems like
Speaker 1: a little gimmick of a franchise to doing a lot
Speaker 1: of things to sell tickets, and it seems like that's
Speaker 1: just the always ways they'll be. They'll always be forever
Speaker 1: chasing the purple and gold. You guys have a great one,
Speaker 1: all right, Thank you, Joe, Gus and Los Angeles. I
Speaker 1: guess what's on your mind today? Good morning, missus DP.
Speaker 1: We've got my Lakers winning, the Dodgers getting some revenge,
Speaker 1: the Clippers losing. It's a great day for LA Sports.
Speaker 1: I will tell you that, mister Patrick. Great day and
Speaker 1: It's got me feeling good today because look, unfortunately, without
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, this series is over. There's no way that
Speaker 1: Chris Paul coming back now got me feeling a little
Speaker 1: confident to once again give the Dannetts a redemption. I
Speaker 1: called in last season. I said the Lakers were gonna
Speaker 1: do it. Nobody manned up. I'm calling again to see
Speaker 1: if anyone's got the stones to challenge me to a
Speaker 1: shower of shame. I'll gladly go to Santa Monica Beach.
Speaker 1: Throw some sanding honey on me. Who wants some, Paulie,
Speaker 1: it's actually honey than sand sand, and that's a honey.
Speaker 1: Nothing actually happens. The sand just cascades down your body. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Gus. I knew what Gus was
Speaker 1: talking before. McLevin, are you sold on your your nets?
Speaker 1: By the way, mclovin did guarantee the Lakers we're gonna
Speaker 1: win last night? I know. So I get to pick
Speaker 1: me Friday, Yeah you do. I just prepared the menu.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna like it. Okay, but so what's about exactly?
Speaker 1: It's uh, Gus has the Lakers winning at all? You
Speaker 1: get every other team? Yeah, Seaton. I'll take that, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, Gus Seaton. Seaton wants a
Speaker 1: piece of you. All right, there we go. Next time

Speaker 1: of sand. I think you got to put sand on No,

Speaker 1: you could be part of the calendar. We are spending
Speaker 1: this entire week shooting famous iconic album covers and we
Speaker 1: got a few of them coming up today. We had
Speaker 1: fun yesterday. The last two days has been a lot
Speaker 1: of fun recreating some of these iconic album covers and
Speaker 1: there are gonna be some album covers that aren't going
Speaker 1: to make the cut, but we'll probably include that in
Speaker 1: the outtakes here with the calendar. But a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: and that calendar will be available for the Christmas holidays
Speaker 1: as we usually do every year. This our fourth year
Speaker 1: doing the calendar. Yeah, Po, you guys remember the first
Speaker 1: album where you opened it and read what was on
Speaker 1: the back and it was like an experience growing up.
Speaker 1: Was there one that stood out? We're like, this is something,
Speaker 1: the picture, the words, the notes. I remember my brother
Speaker 1: had albums. I couldn't afford the albums, but I remember
Speaker 1: he had Jimmy Hendricks had Credence, Clearwater Revival, and he
Speaker 1: had a Zeppelin album. And then I remember when he
Speaker 1: got Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. That kind
Speaker 1: of changed my life because I just remember going, what
Speaker 1: is this and how did they come about? Going this
Speaker 1: is what we wanted? These are the songs, you know,
Speaker 1: time Money, Those were songs with that album, and that
Speaker 1: album stayed on the I think top one hundred chart
Speaker 1: for decades. I think it might be the longest, the
Speaker 1: longest run for an album in history of staying on
Speaker 1: the top one hundred chart. Yeah. See, there are some
Speaker 1: albums that you just have to own, yeah, right, and
Speaker 1: that that's one of them. Like Bob Marley Legend. It
Speaker 1: was a pretty much an album that everybody owned. I
Speaker 1: know it's a compilation of songs, but pretty much everybody
Speaker 1: had that that Pink Floyd out in the same thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: seton or McLevin. It's funny. I was gonna say Pink
Speaker 1: Floyd the Wall when I think of album, because I
Speaker 1: would sit there and read the notes because the album
Speaker 1: like kind of told a story and I couldn't figure
Speaker 1: it all out, and it was so there were so
Speaker 1: many notable songs, just like Dark Side of the Moon.
Speaker 1: I saw the Animals tour with Pink Floyd the album Animals,
Speaker 1: and they had these inflata inflatable animals and just were
Speaker 1: floating around big pig. Yeah. And that's another one of
Speaker 1: those albums where you're listening and you're going, what songs
Speaker 1: are seventeen minutes long? Because the album is an hour
Speaker 1: and a half and there's five songs on it. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. Pauling.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I remember, even though the
Speaker 1: band is somewhat hokey these days, but at the time,
Speaker 1: Kiss was really popular. Early Kiss and those album covers
Speaker 1: with the makeup and they would show them and they
Speaker 1: would never let let out who they are, and they
Speaker 1: embraced it. They were I don't know if it holds up.
Speaker 1: I don't have Kiss holds up, but it was really
Speaker 1: cool in the seventies. I remember my brother was part
Speaker 1: of the Kiss Army, and I looked down upon my
Speaker 1: brother just because he liked Kiss, and I said that
Speaker 1: they're not a real band. And I think at the
Speaker 1: time I said they don't even play their own instruments.
Speaker 1: Whether it was true or not, I just I was
Speaker 1: trying to hurt my brother and I said, you know,
Speaker 1: you're got to listen to The Stones or Zeppelin. I
Speaker 1: remember Sticky Fingers with the Rolling Stones. Did Andy Warhol
Speaker 1: design that album? I think so. I read that somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it had a zipper and I had one of
Speaker 1: my best friends he had to sneak the album into
Speaker 1: his bedroom because his dad was not going to let
Speaker 1: him have an album where you had this guy Torso
Speaker 1: and had his cheine where there's a zipper on the cover.
Speaker 1: Yeah seed. Yeah. Play brings up something that's really interesting, though,
Speaker 1: and that there's a whole generation now of people listening
Speaker 1: to music who don't know what that experience is like
Speaker 1: of opening up, whether it was a CD or for
Speaker 1: me it was cassettes when I was really younger, a
Speaker 1: vinyl record and going through the liner notes and seeing
Speaker 1: what For me, one way that I found out abou
Speaker 1: new bands was to see who a band thanked, you know,
Speaker 1: and then you would know like, oh, these are all
Speaker 1: bands that I should probably check out, and yeah, just
Speaker 1: the way the paper felt and smelt and all of that.
Speaker 1: Nobody has any idea anymore. And I remember going and
Speaker 1: I would just buy in volume. After a while, when
Speaker 1: I had money, I would just go. And you'd come
Speaker 1: back with like, well, at the time, you could spend
Speaker 1: money on an album and it wasn't a prohibitive cost,
Speaker 1: and you could go, I'm gonna take a chance on
Speaker 1: this band, and you know, so what if you didn't
Speaker 1: like the album. But you know, back then you weren't
Speaker 1: able to get all these reviews with an album and
Speaker 1: going out and purchase it. Sometimes that you just go, yep,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna take a chance on this. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: well you could look too at just the label, what
Speaker 1: albums a record label was putting out, and if you
Speaker 1: liked one band on that label, I would just buy
Speaker 1: all of the rest of them. And a lot of
Speaker 1: times they were terrible, they were awful, But that was
Speaker 1: the only way that you knew, Oh this is in
Speaker 1: that same sort of genre music. Yeah, poll had a
Speaker 1: lot of Beatles albums and they were, you know, even
Speaker 1: at the time they were collectibles. And I would go
Speaker 1: into his little study there. I was probably eleven, you know,
Speaker 1: and I would try to put songs on that weren't
Speaker 1: the first song on the album, and I try to
Speaker 1: drop the uh, the needle in the year and he
Speaker 1: would go, what's going on in there? What's going on?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? And I'm like, trying to put
Speaker 1: it on you. I didn't understand how to put it
Speaker 1: on the right way. Yeah, you had to have a
Speaker 1: good sound system, and you you know, I had a
Speaker 1: big Morantz oh amplifier received fifty watch per channel, big
Speaker 1: Wolfer and tweeter Man. I got it going cranking. I
Speaker 1: had a Phillips turntable and I was living large, trying
Speaker 1: to dial in the mids here. Oh it was so good,
Speaker 1: so good. Yes, mclovin, I did something that you probably hated.
Speaker 1: I got into KTEL albums a little later, the best
Speaker 1: of Hits, and I bet your kids have no idea
Speaker 1: what that is. But they were combining a bunch of
Speaker 1: singles for true music people. That's that's a no go, right,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. I mean, at the time, though
Speaker 1: I wanted to buy the individual album, and then after
Speaker 1: a while you'd go, well, why did I buy all
Speaker 1: of these albums when there's now the greatest hits album
Speaker 1: that came out? But you know, I wanted the whole
Speaker 1: catalog with the Stones or the Who or Aerosmith, Zeppelin.
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford all the Beatles, but I had. I
Speaker 1: had quite a few of the Beatles, a few Dylan.
Speaker 1: By the way, Bob Dylan just turned eighty and there
Speaker 1: there was a Rolling Thunder review. They did a documentary
Speaker 1: on this with Bob Dylan and who was the Scorsese? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw that one. Yeah, but but you had Dylan
Speaker 1: wearing white makeup in this documentary, and I always wondered, like,
Speaker 1: what was Dylan saying or what was he not saying,
Speaker 1: or why was he doing this? And apparently he was
Speaker 1: inspired by the band Kiss to wear makeup. So Bob
Speaker 1: put on like this white foundation makeup on and he
Speaker 1: wore it. And I don't know if he ever answered
Speaker 1: it to anybody until later on. Yeah, McLevin, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So the you know, the most critically acclaimed rock guy
Speaker 1: of all time and the least click band of all time,
Speaker 1: but Dylan just turned eighty, and I remember we were
Speaker 1: trying to get Bob Dylan on the show, and I thought,
Speaker 1: you know what, I know he's a baseball fan. I
Speaker 1: think he grew up as Saint Louis Cardinals fan. He's
Speaker 1: from Minnesota, and I thought, if we just say, hey,
Speaker 1: can we have Bob Dylan on and we're only going
Speaker 1: to talk baseball, could we get him on? That didn't work,
Speaker 1: but I thought, man, that's a good shot. It'd be
Speaker 1: fun to hear. And plus I also heard a story
Speaker 1: that Bob Dylan got into the ring and sparred with
Speaker 1: Boom Boom Man Sini, former champ, and I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: can we get Bob on to talk boxing? Maybe if
Speaker 1: Bob's listening right now, if you know Bob, just send
Speaker 1: him a note say we just want to talk sports.
Speaker 1: I mean, I won't bring up blood on the tracks,
Speaker 1: Oh Dylon. And the only time I saw Dylan was
Speaker 1: when he turned to Christianity and he did Slow Train
Speaker 1: a Coming, And I remember going to this show wasn't
Speaker 1: a big concert. People were yelling up like a rolling stone,
Speaker 1: and Bob didn't play any hits. All he did is
Speaker 1: play religious music and he grew up Jewish, then he
Speaker 1: converted to Christianity and he had this and it's a
Speaker 1: wonderful album. You gotta serve somebody. I mean, it's really
Speaker 1: well done. And he had great, great musicians who work
Speaker 1: with him. But Bob just played just that music. People
Speaker 1: yelling out blood on the tracks, Tangled Up in Blue,
Speaker 1: and he's like, idiot, win, Nope, He's just gonna play
Speaker 1: these songs. That's it, all right, We'll take a break.

Speaker 1: Courtesy of the Mavericks Radio Network. Luca has played eight

Speaker 1: the call for the Hawks Nicks tonight on TNT. Then
Speaker 1: he's got the Suns and Lakers game three tomorrow night,
Speaker 1: also on TNT. Jim, thanks for joining us. Your level
Speaker 1: of concern for the Clippers today is what very high,
Speaker 1: damn very high. You know, because I covered them all year.
Speaker 1: So it was a game earlier in the year where
Speaker 1: the Mavericks were up like fifty at half time, and
Speaker 1: I say, well, you know, this an anomaly happens one
Speaker 1: of those games. Now, the Clippers weren't completely healthy, but
Speaker 1: during the course of the year, I mean Dallas just
Speaker 1: even last year in the bubble, it was something about
Speaker 1: that Mavericks team when a matched up against Dallas, I mean,
Speaker 1: when the Mavericks matched up against Clippers, that kind of
Speaker 1: gave them a little fit. And you can see it
Speaker 1: kind of showing up right now, you know, in this
Speaker 1: early series, especially Dallas winning both on the road. But
Speaker 1: you got big games from Paul George in big games
Speaker 1: from Kawhi Leonard. That supporting cast is very suspect here,
Speaker 1: you know. And what's weird about it, Dan, is that
Speaker 1: during the course of the year, Nicholas Toom really played
Speaker 1: well early in the year. Was you know Luke Karnar,
Speaker 1: who's not playing a lot because of matchups in this one.
Speaker 1: Serge Ibaka not being back in the fold I think
Speaker 1: hurts a lot because that was a big component of
Speaker 1: what they did the Clippers with their you know, drill, penetration,
Speaker 1: pick and pop. If you help, you can pop Surge
Speaker 1: out and he can knock in that three, which also
Speaker 1: kept the court spread. And that's not happening. So you
Speaker 1: can bind that with the fact that Tim Hardaway Junior
Speaker 1: is playing well, Prisingas is back in the line up
Speaker 1: playing you go Jalen Brunton, who solid, and of course
Speaker 1: Lucas gonna be Luca. I mean, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Luca has been successful against the slipper team. Everything is
Speaker 1: trending towards the Mavericks from a matchup perspective. But again,
Speaker 1: you win a couple in Dallas, now it's even serious,
Speaker 1: but some things have to be changed. Level of concern
Speaker 1: you would have for the Phoenix Suns youth is the
Speaker 1: biggest thing, even with a Chris Paul. Okay, now you're
Speaker 1: going back to La and that like did their job.
Speaker 1: You know how I used to be said Dan, you
Speaker 1: go in on the road, you just want to get
Speaker 1: one game, whether it's a versa's second game, and you
Speaker 1: would have get make sure you got home court advantage
Speaker 1: now and that's something now. The Phoenix Suns last year
Speaker 1: in the bubble, everything was great. It was isolated in
Speaker 1: the bubble. Now it's a little bit more pressure playing
Speaker 1: on the role. But I think Monty Williams the way
Speaker 1: he got this team locked in. Even that Lakers game
Speaker 1: last night, Okay, Lakers won it, but this thing was
Speaker 1: nipping tuck. You know, it could have went in the
Speaker 1: bound to a shot here of their defensive stop. Phoenix
Speaker 1: could be up to old. I just never know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get from Anthony Davis. When he's great, it
Speaker 1: feels like the Lakers are great, And when he's not,
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like they're great. Do you feel that same?
Speaker 1: You want? Yea, what do you think it is? What
Speaker 1: does your gut tell you? I think he's some. He
Speaker 1: doesn't pick his spots like you should take over the game, Lebron.
Speaker 1: Lebron is able to do that, but he has to
Speaker 1: pick his spots. Anthony Davis should be like, get me
Speaker 1: the ball. And I said yesterday. Get to the free
Speaker 1: throw line. Don't be shooting fade away jumpers. You know
Speaker 1: you got Jay Crowder on you, come on, get to
Speaker 1: the hoop, make them, make them make plays on you.
Speaker 1: And then it feels like that opens up everything else
Speaker 1: for everybody else on the team. Now, did you notice
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game that meant an emphasis
Speaker 1: that kind of really get ad started? I mean, I
Speaker 1: really get him now. He was more aggressive yesterday, you know,
Speaker 1: really looking forward shot and I do think at times
Speaker 1: he settled for bailing his opponent out. But how many
Speaker 1: guys in the league also do that? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's a kind of a different mindset. The easy way
Speaker 1: out is to take a little jump shot instead of
Speaker 1: now you pounding them back of somebody. And now, is
Speaker 1: that a fact that you know the spacing is not
Speaker 1: there at times, or you know it may be a
Speaker 1: double team coming and you're trying to avoid that. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I know what a d and the Lakers,
Speaker 1: and I think your point is valid on this. Lebron
Speaker 1: can't go thirty eight minute and kind of go. He
Speaker 1: just can't. I mean he's not built like that, but
Speaker 1: but he is built in the playoffs for spurs On
Speaker 1: when he can pick, when he can go eighty has
Speaker 1: to be a guy that's constantly going, you know. And
Speaker 1: whether he's shooting or not, I think is not the point.
Speaker 1: It's how aggressive is he to attract in the defense
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, we're gonna have to help or do something,
Speaker 1: and then here comes okay, shot over the top or
Speaker 1: he didn't make the place one of his teammates. If
Speaker 1: I gave you the Lakers or the field in the West,
Speaker 1: who would you take? Oh, Dan, that's a tough one
Speaker 1: right there, because the field is tough. Man. You know
Speaker 1: the field Now, if Donovan Mitchell being healthy, Murray being healthy,
Speaker 1: I still got a hedge towards the Lakers because of Lebron.
Speaker 1: You know. You know, if if there's a you tell
Speaker 1: me a matchup where you think the Lakers would really
Speaker 1: have problem. I think the Clippers match up when well,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if if they can get past
Speaker 1: no doubt. I think they match up with them well. Um,
Speaker 1: But but it's something about Lebron in the situation. You know,
Speaker 1: do you think you'll ever pick against Lebron? It's hard.
Speaker 1: That's like asking you think you can pick against Michael.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because you knew you knew
Speaker 1: it was something there even when they got down to Portland,
Speaker 1: when they played in Portland one or they played they
Speaker 1: lost the first game to the Lakers. You know, back
Speaker 1: then you're like, m maybe not Portland, I mean the Lakers.
Speaker 1: It's just like, guy, it's something about Michael. How many
Speaker 1: times did you have that where you go, we're facing
Speaker 1: a guy and this isn't gonna this isn't gonna go
Speaker 1: well tonight, like you you can't say it, but you're
Speaker 1: thinking it. And maybe all your teammates knew that this
Speaker 1: isn't gonna go well. But you know what, though, Dan,
Speaker 1: here's your thing. It's not so much the guy. Like
Speaker 1: you know that Luca is gonna get hit, okay, you
Speaker 1: know that Lebron is going to be effective in different ways.
Speaker 1: You know fact in the day, Mike was gonna get it.
Speaker 1: What gets you as the X factors? Those are the
Speaker 1: guys that end up having like Dorian Finney Smith in
Speaker 1: that first game against the Clippers. You game plan to
Speaker 1: leave him open, y your game plan, that's your game plan,
Speaker 1: and then he makes you pay for it. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: how many times. Have we seen Robert Ory have big games? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Shaq and Kobe are gonna get there at someone even
Speaker 1: if they're not as effective. But it's always the other
Speaker 1: guys that end up having some kind of impact on
Speaker 1: the game. And then those are the ones that you
Speaker 1: worry about. You know, to me, you faced Michael, you
Speaker 1: faced Kobe, and you faced Lebron. Where do you rank them?
Speaker 1: I said, Mike number one. I mean just for the
Speaker 1: sere fact that Mike offensive being defensively, the way he
Speaker 1: attacked multipositions where you can put him, and he was
Speaker 1: very efficient. Now Lebron is very efficient. But Lebron to
Speaker 1: take Briggs during the game, and what I mean by
Speaker 1: Briggs is he won't be as aggressive offensively. Okay, Mike
Speaker 1: was always at that. Kobe was like that, but Kobe
Speaker 1: would take some bad shots at time. Okay, so he
Speaker 1: can kind of bail you out on something, but when
Speaker 1: he got gone, he got gone. Lebron is so methodical,
Speaker 1: And to think about it that Lebron is so methodical,
Speaker 1: and this thing again, the mindset is like matching. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat you with this, and if I get
Speaker 1: it going from here, I'm fine. Now with with Mike
Speaker 1: beat you from the three point line back in the
Speaker 1: day and not really but free throw line. He gets
Speaker 1: to his spots and he really didn't take bad shots.
Speaker 1: And that's the difference between now Lebron. Do didn't take bad,
Speaker 1: bad shots. But Mike was something about him. Man, it was.
Speaker 1: And I played now, I played against a young Lebron James,
Speaker 1: just preference that I didn't play against this older one.
Speaker 1: Okay when he grew, but man, it was something. And
Speaker 1: Kobe was something else too. His mindset, you know, mindset
Speaker 1: was totally different. Any issues with the nets, if I
Speaker 1: gave you the nets of the field in the East, Nope,
Speaker 1: that was quick. Nope. And the reason why it is
Speaker 1: because it's kind of like Golden State, Remember so when
Speaker 1: they had Durant when he was there and played in
Speaker 1: step more than likely two or the three going to
Speaker 1: have a good game, okay, and even if one is off,
Speaker 1: it's maybe they're five for fifteen, six for eighteen, but
Speaker 1: they still got eighteen points, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: And they had they got a really I like Claxton,
Speaker 1: I like Joe Harris Shammon if he gets his shot going.
Speaker 1: I like Bruce Brown Um, the question is too. It's like,
Speaker 1: as you advanced further now that the three are together.
Speaker 1: And I said this before, they talked about the Big
Speaker 1: three a lot, Dan, but they didn't talk about Steve
Speaker 1: Nash having the Big three in certain situations where now, hey,
Speaker 1: what plays? Am I going to be comfortable running that
Speaker 1: they're come will running because they haven't been together. You know.
Speaker 1: Steve is still learning, Yeah, and so are they, you know,
Speaker 1: just being on the floor at the same time. We'll
Speaker 1: be watching tonight Hawks Knicks at seven thirty Eastern and
Speaker 1: then you got Game three Lakers Sons tomorrow night, also
Speaker 1: on TNT. Jim, thanks for spending time with his buddy anytime. Dan,
Speaker 1: appreciate your brother. That's the great. Jim Jackson. Fourteen year
Speaker 1: NBA VET McLevin. Didn't we settle on a poll question?
Speaker 1: We did not, but I want to do. I hate
Speaker 1: say it is that Nets are the field right now.
Speaker 1: We used to do Lakers of the field. They feel
Speaker 1: like that a little bit or is this recentcy bias? No,
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair question because I'm not as
Speaker 1: sure about the Lakers this year as I was last year.
Speaker 1: But the Nets, it comes down to health if everybody
Speaker 1: is able to play, then the Nets should win the championship.
Speaker 1: Those three and supporting cast should win. Trying to put
Speaker 1: this together, as Lebron found out out in Miami, they
Speaker 1: didn't win the title that first year. Trying to get
Speaker 1: that cohesive feeling and they haven't played what ten games together.
Speaker 1: The Nets are looking at this is a we got
Speaker 1: three years, let's win three titles. That's their feeling. Coming up.
Speaker 1: Where is Julio Jones headed? Chris Simms will tell you.
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Great performance last night.
Speaker 1: He'll join us coming up as well. Hope he'll stay
Speaker 1: with us. One hour in the books, Two more to go.
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick's show
