WEBVTT - Dan Patrick - Hour 3 – NBA Insider Ric Bucher 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.640 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.120 Sports Radio. Hello, and welcome inside Final Hour today the 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.000 Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio on a 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.360 middle Finger Monday, which is now threatening to being takeover 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.400 by four Loving Thunder Monday. As the trailer for Thor 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:20.439 just came out about a half hour ago, and I 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.720 gotta say, Mike, this track was a little nervous because, look, 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.920 Ragnarok was pretty good. Now Loving Funder, they're obviously passing 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:34.040 the baton to a new Thour and they're doing exactly what. Yeah, 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:35.600 I'm not going to ruin the trailer for anybody, but 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.360 they're doing exactly what I think all the Marvel movies 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.040 should do now, and you're going to see it. With 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.839 Doctor Strange all the other ones. Is making every standalone 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.400 movie involve other Avengers and other characters, because the standalone 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.880 movies by themselves now they just don't have the Jews. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.760 It was an entire Doctor Strange movie be like, okay, 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.000 but you got Scarlett which is involved. Other Avengers are 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.800 involved this one. You have other people from the MCU 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.840 that are all over the trailer for this, and it 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.440 makes it much more interesting. And now people are gonna 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.160 see this and go, oh, I like Thor, but oh man, 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.840 I'm gonna go see it for these guys who are 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.000 in the movie. So yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that's 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.560 kind of the way to go. What once they did 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.399 Captain America's Civil War, it was, wait a minute, this 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.160 really works, Like, you know, we don't need it to 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.080 be just a one standalone movie just with one superhero 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.480 and and the bad guys. If we put other Avengers 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.120 in it, other MCU heroes in it, it makes it 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.760 better and more interesting. Because honestly, if you told me 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.319 here's a standalone Thor movie versus here's a Thor movie 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.120 with a bunch of other people from the MCU in it, yeah, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.080 that makes it way more interesting. And I think every 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:42.520 movie should be this way. The way the way it 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.720 goes down. Well, yeah, it's the bottom line. You mentioned 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.480 Ragnar Well, wa Titi's back at the Helm for this one, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.920 which means there's gonna be some comedy, there's gonna be 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.280 some one liners and some snark, which means I'm in 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.040 And I know you had a terrible experience with the 0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:01.520 latest Fantastic Beasts movie, so you needed this On a 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.840 middle finger Monday, you might have done that to the 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.440 end credit to that one. I mean, I know, we've 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.000 got day baseball here, I'm looking up odds as we 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.880 get ready for Marathon Monday, and and the Boston Red 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.720 Sox doing their thing where we get real the early 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.480 baseball here on the West Coast, and The Batman which 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.320 is now streaming. So I mean, there's a lot of 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.480 multi screen. But you're trying to recover from Fantastic Beast 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.560 because you did not like the performance from Sting. Oh yeah, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.280 I mean Jude Law, Jude Law. I just kept waiting 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.440 for him to break out in the song if I 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.280 ever Lose my Faith, and it never came. Here's the 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.000 thing about fantastic pieces. Okay, you know my house is 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.000 huge Harry Potter fans, right, all the biggest Harry Potter 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.200 fans in the world. And fantastic piece. It wasn't awful. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.760 It was just really boring. The first ninety minutes was 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.840 so incredibly boring. Thank goodness for the last, you know, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.000 half hour or forty minutes of it, But the first 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.920 ninety minutes, I'm like, something's got to happen here, right, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.080 because when you have when you have a boring movie 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.600 and the other thing is all the actors. They're boring. None, 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.639 none of them are. None of them are exciting, none 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.919 of them are. Oh my goodness, I know they're all. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.280 That's been the issue with Fantastic Beats from the beginning 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.560 is you have a lot of boring people and you 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.400 don't really have plots because I feel like you have 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.600 half a movie everyone that's come out. So when you 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.680 when you couple boring plots with boring characters, you're gonna 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.600 get the first ninety minutes of Secrets A Dumbledore, even 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.000 Jude Law is boring, and I'm going there's got to 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.920 be some kind of excitement here at some point. But 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.840 it was. It's really difficult. In fact, I don't know 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.840 that they'll do another one because it's already it's not 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.120 getting great reviews. It's the worst reviewed one of all. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.400 I wonder if now they're going to hit pause on 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.840 this and go, you know what, maybe the Harry Potter World, 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.640 We wait and do the Curse Child movie and then 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.760 we can get back to Fantastic Beasts, because wow, it's 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.680 just I mean, every movie that comes out, it's it's 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.720 it's not quite as good as the one before it. Man, 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.760 I don't I think might be good. Be done with 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.800 Fantastic Beast movies for a while. Comes down to does 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.920 it make enough money across the globe? Because remember, we 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.320 folks get fixated on domestic I always trying to remind 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.000 you of the international And according to the Wonderful World 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.520 of Box Office Mojo, internationally it did one hundred and 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.120 fifty million dollars. So if that's the case, they'll be 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.480 just fine. They'll be just fine. And this was after 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.320 three and a half years. And I mean some of 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.800 it's going to be a bit of blowback towards JK 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:27.479 Rowling and some of her comments and opinions that she's expressed. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.960 So there's there's a little bit of that, and from 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.800 a critical standpoint, you're right, nothing happens. It was a 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.520 lot of all right build up to what And add 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.520 Ezra Miller, who I'd never understand the fascination. Obviously he's 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.120 got his uh off the screen transgressioncy we can do 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.800 that outside of sports too. That are making it difficult, 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.159 you know, with him for not only this franchise, but 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.960 also going back to the DC universe and the Flash movie. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:01.280 So a lot of handwringing consternation and confusion over what 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.080 he's done off screen as to how they handle things 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.520 going forward. But I know you didn't like The Fantastic Beast. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.720 Hopefully you had at least a trailer or two that 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.160 made you entertained. Oh, it had Top Gun at that time, Mark, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.040 I had Top Gun back. I saw the movie. That's 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.640 all I needed. That's all I needed, right even though 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.520 even though there's no movie, there's no movie. The trust me, 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.200 there's no movie. They're gonna find a way to not 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.760 have it come out. They only shot a trailer. There's 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.080 no movie there. They're not gonna have it. It's do 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.080 you think if we had a watch party here in 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.239 southern California, we invited our colleagues at Fox Sports Radio, 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.760 our friends. You know, if the our buddies Dan and 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.000 the Dan Nettes want to want to join us for it, 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:40.440 we could all do it. Do you think if we're 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.880 all standing there holding a beer and getting ready for 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.880 the opening scene, it's just Miles Teller and Tom Cruise 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.479 laughing at us that we showed up? Is that really 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.280 what it's gonna be at that at this point, what 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:52.960 they're gonna do is they're gonna show you, you're gonna 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.200 get to the movie. You're gonna see the trailer again, 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.159 and then you're like, oh, that's pretty cool. And then 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.040 they're gonna show you the old Top Gun and you're 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.520 not gonna care because you get and see the old 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.560 Top Gull in the big screen and you're gonna leave 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.480 and go, Man, that was great. Oh I didn't get 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.880 to see the new movie, and people just forget about it. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.280 Trust me, there's no movie. There's no four years ago, 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.280 they've been waiting for this movie, but there's no movie. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.960 There's no movie. It's not happened. By the way, I 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.960 got to imagine at some point we do get the 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.960 announcement that you will be able to go see the 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.680 original on the big screen. I mean, that's just leaving 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.880 money in our pockets, you know, the old gift of 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.600 take my money please. I mean, that's exactly what would 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.960 happen for a lot of us nerds of a certain age. Now, 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.200 I always yell at the end, I say something into 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:35.640 the Top Gun trailer when we go to the movie. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.960 So the trailer ended yesterday and I yelled out great 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.080 balls of fire, and oh, I got so many collaps 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.800 from from people in the audience. I was like, yeah, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.279 I'm the king, I'm always of fire. Yeah, and you know, 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:52.039 and that's the thing that was more fun than fantastic pieces. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.279 There was more fun. No, yeah, no, I to trust me. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:57.880 If somebody went to the movie said, what was the 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.280 most fun part of that movie when that Yahoo yelled 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.880 great balls of Fire after the top gun trailer. Because 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.640 there's no fun elements in this Harry Potter movie. I 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.800 don't know. I could do a whole two hours of 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.880 Kowalski and be just just give him his own movie, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.800 right right, a movie for him, there's but there's no fun. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.280 It's so dark. And even when the Harry Potter movies 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.400 got dark as you went on with once you got 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.120 to gobblet of fire in order, there was still so 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.679 many elements of fun. There's no fun in this movie. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.960 It's like, wow, man, it's it's it feels cold when 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.280 you watch the movie now telling you, well, I gotta 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.560 tell you I saw it in the greatest theater ever. Though, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.000 you know, not to make it all about me, and 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.120 you know, weekend stuff, but uh, you know, Santa Barbara 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.200 is a beautiful place to go and visit. Right, A 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.520 lot of great vacationing to be done there and and 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.560 just wine country and all that. I went to a 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:50.160 theater that was two thousand seats, Wow, music and theater 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.440 or whatever like. There might only been fifty people that 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.200 showed up because we went on a mid afternoon on Friday, 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.040 after getting in getting ready for a business trip of 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.480 a soccer game that my daughter had the following morning. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.119 But well, I was seeing it in that space because 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.760 it had, you know, kind of just the I don't 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.920 know the proper architectural terminology, but it was just a 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.480 sweet setup, like not a stale, you know, multiplex kind 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.560 of theater, right old timey, and they little lounge with 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.080 all sorts of cool tiling and photos of people who'd performed, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.360 their pictures of guys like George Burns and things like 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.600 that as cool as hell. So I mean that that 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.280 was a fun way to see him a movie that 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.000 otherwise wasn't terribly exciting twitter at how about a Fresca 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.559 Mike as Swollen Dome Jason Smith, Mike Harmon in for 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.240 Dan and the Danet's Day, But for Love and Thunder 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.240 That look that looks at more fun than anything I 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.520 saw on fantastic piece Okay, so there's that a big 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.120 weekend in the NBA. We got Rick Bucker coming up 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.120 in about fifteen minutes to stop buy and break it 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.360 down with us. And still on middle finger. Monday, we're 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.080 talking about Kyrie Irving. Irving who had a great game 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.000 yesterday against the Celtics, Nets go down to defeat the 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:04.079 last second lay up Jason Tatum, but with Kyrie Irving deciding, 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.360 you know, I'm not happy with how the fans are 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.880 treating me, so I'm gonna give them middle finger as 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.920 I go up and down the court. Okay, then I'm 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.800 gonna give it to him again as I put my 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.480 middle finger behind my head, going hey yeah, middle finger, 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.200 middle finger. Then I'm gonna curse it a fan on 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.200 the way to the locker room, and then I'm gonna 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.440 curse the postgame press conference. This was the day for 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.000 Kyrie Irving, not happy with what people were yelling at 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.559 him in the crowd, and he said, I'm going to 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.520 give it back to them. Let's take a listen to 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.600 Kyrie Irving. This is him from yesterday about why he 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.360 behaved the way he did during and after the game. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:43.280 Let's layar. You know, it's nothing new when I come 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:44.920 into his building what it's going to be like. But 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.040 it's the same energy to have for me, and I'm 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.960 gonna have the same energy for them. And it's not 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.200 every fan. I don't want to attack every fan, every 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:55.920 Boston fan, but you know when people start yelling with 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:57.760 all this stuff is but so much you can take 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.600 as a competitor, and you know where the one is 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.640 expected to be docile and be humble and take a 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.040 humble approach. Not the best of playoffs is what it is. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.400 You know, I've I know what to expect him here 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.280 and it's the same energy I'm giving back to do him. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.360 Now here's where I'm gonna zig instead of zagging on 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.280 Kyrie Irving my carment because you know, you know my 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.480 thoughts on Kyrie. He's ridiculous. He's a wild card. You 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:25.000 can't trust him. Basketball is not his priority. While this 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.679 is on brand for him. Clearly, this is clearly on 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.480 brand for Kyrie Irving. Something that if you're expecting of 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.640 any player to flip off the fans, you would say, oh, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:37.200 it's got to be Kyrie Irving. Uh, this is kind 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.440 of overblown, and is it something that you want a 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.760 player to do No. Clearly you'd rather him not do it. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.360 The NBA would rather him not do it. And you 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.800 wonder what kind of fine he's going to get because 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.280 this wasn't just one instance of cursing. It was two 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.920 separate middle finger events and then cursing in the post 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.400 game and cursing at a fan. You'd rather him not 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.280 do it. But it's kind of overblown because one, it's 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.480 not affecting his game at all, right, I mean like 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.200 if he was four for twenty three, if you had 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.440 a Kevin Durant type game from the floor and he 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.320 was cursing out the fans, you would say, you see, Kyrie, 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.120 he's focused on the wrong things, and everybody's going crazy 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.160 about it. Now, Kyrie someone who can do this and 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.200 still play at a high level. It's what still gives 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.199 him appeal to teams and across the league is that 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.040 this is just part of who he is. Yeah, I 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.400 can be a man with the fans. I could still 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.200 put up thirty eight and I can still basically win 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.360 the game with a three at the end. But it 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.439 comes down to it and the Celtics make a great play. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.880 It's not affecting him on the court at all. Plus 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.880 I get that players are upset that they feel that 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.880 it's open season on them, that fans have taken it 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.040 to the next level as far as yelling at them, 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.280 throwing things at them, and when he says we're supposed 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.160 to be doss Island take it no, Well, yeah, again, 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.240 to go back to what I said, you'd rather him 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.440 not do this, But I kind of get it because 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.720 players get frustrated, right, they feel like the league doesn't 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.080 have our back, fans are out of control. What we 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.480 had the video of Devin Booker a couple weeks ago, 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.240 you know, yelling at a fan, you know, as he's 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.680 dribbling the ball up the court. Guys are just sick 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.959 of it, and and you know they want something to 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.680 feel like, hey, we have control of the situation. We're 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.840 the ones playing on the court. So I get that 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.720 part of it, and that's part of what drives Kyrie 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.160 on this. There's many things I really disagree with him 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.640 on and and and his motivation and playing, but this, yeah, 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.400 I think this is a little overblown. Well, I mean, 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.400 in the end, he did take some of the heat 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:29.480 off of it, and really it means that the protest 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:34.600 isn't going very far. Yeah, people gluing themselves to the floor, Okay, 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.680 that's one. Yeah, and then you have someone else chaining 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.360 themselves to the stanch. I want to know how they 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.679 got the chain in. It's one of the Yeah, that's 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.640 mistress disturbing as they go back to Taylor and the 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.000 tea Wolves for all of that, But for Kyrie, I mean, 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.960 the first double bird was pretty sly in terms of 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.800 to the television camera, right because it was behind his head. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.840 It was like he was scratching the back of his head. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.559 Uh and into his hair. All right, I was setting 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.640 up a big play. What do I got here? Huh? 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.679 And it was And then he started egging them on. Well, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.040 game two will be interesting, and you've seen a number 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:11.760 of the the NBA legends with their television jobs chiming 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.079 in saying, well, you're embolding in them. Okay. Then then 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.720 it comes down to crowd control and whether anybody cares. 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.679 And we'll see how he responds in game two. Certainly, 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.600 if it helps him to elevate his game, nets aren't 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.959 going to complaint as long as Kevin Durant brings similar energy, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.280 even if he doesn't respond in the same fashion and 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.079 shoots better than nine to twenty four. All of a 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:38.320 sudden we got potential long term ramifications to all this. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.520 But for Kyrie Irving, now it's a question fifty thousand 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.199 does he get multiple infractions? Does he get a full 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.320 two hundred k out of his pocket? Are they separate 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.080 enough incidences where Adam Silver? Does Adam Silver feel compelled 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.120 to make a statement out of it? That's the question 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.920 on him Monday morning. For you, Jason, does he feel 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.400 like he needs Oh no, no, are you kidding? He 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.240 wants to do nothing as love never comes off this 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.679 hes the excitement and generated. No, he will never do 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.559 anything that makes him appear appear that he is disagreeing 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.640 with a player on anything. That's why the players love him. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.640 They know they can push him around. They know that 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.800 whatever they want Adam Silver will do for them. So 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.120 you know he's gonna do. Yeah, I'm gonna find what's 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.640 the maximum? We find him, that's it. It's gonna be 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.760 over and and that's He's not even Kyrie, who is 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.840 a player where you can stand up and say hey, 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:26.600 I think this is how you should be doing it, 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.880 You'll get a lot of support. Doesn't want to do it, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.680 has no desire to. He will be very quietly. He'll 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.080 get fined, and that'll be it. Because I just like 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.040 to come into my office every day and see that 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.560 my name plate is on the desk and everything looks great. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.560 It's nice and shiny. I don't want anybody to say 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.480 anything on social media about me. I like when Lebron 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.840 and and and all the players say how much they 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.520 like me as commissioner. Yeah, because they push you around 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.960 and you do whatever they want to. So yeah, we're 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.200 not getting anything out of Adam Silver on that. Yeah. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:57.320 The curiosity then extends to you know, the social media, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:02.080 you know, boom right, because the NBA enjoys a lot 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.320 of love and certainly you know, we've got the Twitter 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.600 masters that have gone through and it memes for every 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:15.960 situation seemingly instantaneous anymore. But the push on each social 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.640 right from TikTok, Instagram, Live, et cetera, and the run 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.440 that you get from NBA games. But the players association, 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.040 as much as they love it, also go how about 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.400 we treat this like a Dave Chappelle comedy show where 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.760 your phone goes into a bag when you come in 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.600 so you don't try to get clout by shouting stupid 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:40.440 things at our players and trying to incite Twitter and 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.200 out about a fresca Mike a swollen dome. Now you 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.400 make a big point about the Nets to make this 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.640 conversation go further than than Look, Kyrie flipped everybody off. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.600 It's it's actually okay. The Nets lose this game, right, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.480 and and Jason Tatum lay up at the end is phenomenal. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.120 All the Celtic please, Oh yeah, dude, Kyrie irving standing there, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.800 He's like Hollywood and wolf Man. Where'd he go? Hollywood said, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.920 where do you go? Kyrie's looking around, trying to touch, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.240 trying to get a hand on Jason Tatum. It was 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.600 a phenomenal play. But I would not be surprised if 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.640 the Nets backdoor swept this series, all right, the Nets. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.000 The Nets didn't get anything out of Kevin Durant. He 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.760 was awful. Is he gonna shoot like that again in 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.840 this series? No way, No, Kevin Durant is still too good. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.120 He's not gonna have another game like that. Kyrie can 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.840 obviously have another game that way. But then and the 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.080 Nets are imperfect. But it doesn't matter. It's the first 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.520 round of the playoffs, and the East teams are closer 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.040 to each other, then it's the West. This is not 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.120 a we got the sun to the top and everybody else. No, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.720 teams are close to each other. So with the two 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.880 of them playing scoring thirty thirty five a game, Yeah, 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.520 because this is a game the Celtics won on a 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.240 last second layup when they got everything out of all 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.360 the players they need to there if they're starting five, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.480 everybody was in double figures. Al Horford looked like he 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.640 was going to score sixty points the first ten minutes 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.080 of this game. They got everything they needed. Are they 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.680 gonna get that every single game? I don't see it? 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.959 And with Boston being imperfect, Yeah, thirty from Jason Tatum 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.320 is great? Is that going to be enough? As long 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.240 as Kevin Durant is still Kevin Durant. I can see 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.800 the Nets winning the next four games and the Celtics 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.679 are going what happened to us? We had all the 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.880 great feels after that first game and the incredible come 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.400 from behind win. No man, I can I can see 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.320 the Nets come winning the series and saying here we come. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.040 We're the big bad Nets. Now, Well we kind of 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.520 anticipated that, and you know, all they needed to do 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.240 was get in, right, That's what everybody was hoping on 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.119 the Los Angeles side, If the Lakers could just get in, 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.639 maybe there's enough getting Now they're done, and now all 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.560 they're doing is eating popcorn, drinking some wine and commenting 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.600 on organizations and how they grow players. You want to 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:54.280 talk about side swipe your leaders in your organization. That's 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.760 about as disrespectful as it gets. But yeah, you had 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.160 a throwback game for Al Horford and everybody said, wait, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.480 Al Horford did what? Huh? Not Al Horford? Kid? No, 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.960 this is Al Horford. This is still Al Horford. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.240 I mean he did this against Memphis back on the 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.359 third of March. He had a twenty one fifteen game. 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.160 Other than that, you know there's a double double mix 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.320 they're in. But that kind of effort, Yeah, we were 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.040 looking at it going same guy, same guys still there. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.680 Huh how about that? Good for him, Good on him. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.040 But no, I would expect the Nets to roll through. 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.000 I hope, I hope we get every blow by blow 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.840 like it's a heavyweight fight. I don't want to backdoor sweep. 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.760 I think the Nets move on, but I think it's 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.600 hard fought and it's a mess to the end. Why 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.240 because we deserve that. On a middle finger, Monday, watch 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.040 out for the nets this way, watch out. The NBA 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.920 Playoffs means next level basketball, So getting on the first 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.000 round action with Draft Kings sports Book, an official sports 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.760 betting partner of the NBA, This week, new customers can 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.600 bet five dollars on any team to win and get 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:01.000 one hundred and fifty dollars in free bets instant.
