That would be the priorities there. 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: Keeping Aaron Rodgers off COVID list must be packers priority. Well, 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. You drafted Jordan Love If he goes 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: on the COVID list, you got your backup, And isn't 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: that why you drafted him? As Snotton goes out of 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: my nose, they're laughing at my own joke. Welcome to 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: the program.

Kevin Durant 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: on the Play for Keeps podcast had his peck on 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: which team is going to win the NBA title. But 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: I could choose, I would go Clippers, Bucks in a championship, 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: and I'll go to Clippers. That talent is just undeniable 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: to me. When you got PG and kawais just at 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: the wings, that's what you need to win as wings. 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: You got those two at the wings argusly the top three, 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: top four at the wing position on one team, and 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: then you got the two best bench, well not the 29 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: two best, but the best combo. It's perfectly fitting a 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: big card, all right. So Kevin Durant thinks the Clippers 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: are going to win the title facing the Milwaukee Bucks. 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: I mentioned in the first hour, we look at the 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: Lakers and we go, okay, number one seed in the West. Well, 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: there's no real home court advantage, so you have to 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: go okay. Let's move on from that. The question is 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: who are you going to play first round of the postseason. 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: You have the Pelicans. It's going to come down to 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: I think the Pelicans and the Blazers fighting it out. 39 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: Memphis without Jared Jackson, He's out for the rest of 40 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: the season. Torn Meniscus, and they have a tough schedule. 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: They have Oklahoma City, Toronto, Boston, and Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: Pelicans have Sacramento, Washington, San Antonio, Sacramento, and Orlando. Not 43 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: exactly murderers row there. Blazers have Denver, the Clippers seventy 44 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: six Ers, Dallas and Brooklyn. If you're going to handicap this, 45 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: the Pelicans have the easiest route in, but they have 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of They have to make up a 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: couple of games here to get there. And also, if 48 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: you're the eighth seed and you're facing the ninth seed 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: for the right to face the Lakers as the eighth 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: seed in a three game series, you must just win 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: one game. If you're the ninth seed, you have to 52 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: win two games to advance to face the Lakers and 53 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: back to the Lakers. I love what they're doing with 54 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: their bench, Caruso Kuzma, Dion Waiters, but the starting lineup 55 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: there's some concern here. And I think if you start 56 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: to look at these other teams in the West, Clippers 57 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: got offense, Nuggets got offense, Jazz don't have offense. Thunder 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what their numbers are. I'm gonna guess 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: thunder have some pretty good offensive numbers. Houston has good 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: offensive numbers, The Mavericks have good offensive numbers. Blazers have 61 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: good offensive numbers. So the Lakers are they're gonna have 62 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: to find a starting lineup that's gonna. I don't want 63 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: them in a hole when the bench guys come in, 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: and we saw that when they faced Toronto. You gotta 65 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: get off to a good start here, and just you're 66 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: not having Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo. That affects the 67 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: whole rotation here. It's just something to file away. The 68 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Lakers offense and their rotations I think will be a concern, 69 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: should be a concern with Frank Vogel and that staff. Yeah. 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: Point for this entire season. The entire season, the Lakers 71 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: are seventh in the West and scoring offense, but they're 72 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: number one in shutting down opponents, number one in scoring defense. Yeah, 73 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: well that help with Avery Bradley, he's a really good 74 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: on bald defender. JaVale McGee has helped out an awful lot. Yeah. Mclovin. 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: I don't get their Clippers thing. By the way, I 76 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: know that they have all that talent, but if they 77 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: shown you anything that makes you think that they're they're 78 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: even going to get to the conference finals. Well, I 79 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: think I'd like to see him fully assembled. So if 80 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: you get everybody in there and let me see what 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: that lineup is going to look like, they I that's 82 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: the deepest team, and you've got Kawai who has proven 83 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: on a big stage that he can produce. I'm waiting 84 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: for Paul George to be great. But they have a 85 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: lot of pieces there. Yeah, mclovid, but don't any teamwork 86 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: and jeling and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And 87 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: that's going to be an issue, you know for these 88 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: teams that are just sort of, you know, moving along 89 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: at a leisurely pace here and then you're going to 90 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: hit the ground running or at least your hook to 91 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: when the postseason starts. That's why I think people like 92 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: the Blazers. If the Blazers face the Lakers, they like 93 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 1: the Blazers because the Blazers have to fight to get 94 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: into the postseason and they're going to have that playoff 95 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: mentality to start the first game of the postseason. Now, 96 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: we'll see teams when they just start out or if 97 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: there's a layoff as far as you facing a quality 98 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: opponent or something on the line, it usually takes that 99 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: team at least one game to get ready. And in 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: the bubble, where there's no home court advantage, you can't 101 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: afford to get off to slow starts here. But that's 102 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: why I think people look at the Pelicans and say, 103 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: all right, could they be a team that gives the 104 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: Lakers trouble? Yeah. I think we looked at that matchup 105 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: before they know the season shut down and said, you know, 106 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: the Pelicans might be facing the Lakers in the opening 107 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs, and it might turn out to 108 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: be the case. Because if Zion's coming back and playing 109 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes, I think this will be the really 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: the true test of what's going on with Zion. And 111 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: in his minutes restriction, you go from fifteen minutes, thirteen, fifteen, 112 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: and then you go to twenty five. Do you go 113 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: any further than twenty five because you have to win 114 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: these games. If you have a minute's restriction, then stick 115 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: to it, but be strategic and when you play Zion, 116 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: play him in the second half if that's the case, 117 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: but make sure you stay stay true to that and 118 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: that if that's your blueprint here for him. Then great. 119 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: I think that you're gonna have a couple of nervous, 120 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: anxious moments where Alvin Gentry is gonna go how many 121 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: minutes he played? He's played twenty four and a half. 122 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: All right, we'll leave it in another minute. Yeah. Point, 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: But I wonder if there's a sliding scale to this 124 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: at all, because Alvin Gentry game one was upset. You 125 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: could tell he's upset after the game because he's stuck 126 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: to the minutes of the doctor said, but did the 127 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: doctors alter their decision based off the competitive nature of 128 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: the team. Do they need this game or not? Or 129 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: do they go in and say, here's our number. It 130 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: cannot be floated, It cannot be changed, even if you 131 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: need him for ten more minutes. But I think it's 132 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: going to change almost quarter to quarter with him. But 133 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: it shouldn't know, because I mean, he's not He's the 134 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: same person he was four days ago. Based on what 135 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: I was told when I said, hey, you know you're 136 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: gonna play in three minutes at a time, I think 137 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: he's got a better chance or worst chance of getting 138 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: injured by playing in a short burst because he's gonna 139 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: want to try to do too much I'd rather that 140 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: he paced himself. Now, he doesn't look in great shape, 141 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: but he's such a phenomenal athlete, and he just plays 142 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: this bullyball. He's going at you. You may block it 143 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: the first time, he's gonna get it and he's gonna 144 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: put it back in. It's just so powerful inside. But 145 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: if you get any kind of consistency, if Brandon Ingram 146 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: is great and you've got Zion, Lonzo Ball can hit 147 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: some three pointers, Reddick provides some damage there. You know 148 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough. You know, these young teams, they're tougher. 149 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: Lakers got an old team, Yeah, Paul, Jeff. I think 150 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: it was Jeff Van Gundy who has talked about how 151 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: one of the reasons he thinks Zion needs to be 152 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: in better shape is to run the break he goes. 153 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: He said that nobody wants to get in front of 154 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: him on the break. People will move out of his 155 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: way like they do the past five years with Lebron. 156 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: You see Lebron on the break, sometimes he just goes 157 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: right down because no one wants a piece of six 158 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five pounds. Yeah, he just he 159 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: doesn't look in shape, and I understand why they want 160 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: to limit his minutes, but I think that they're gonna 161 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: roll the dice here and you're probably gonna get into 162 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: a situation where you play maybe a little more than 163 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: you had planned to. All right, McLevin, which pull question 164 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna go with? Well, I put up for the 165 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: first hour a poll question just to see if anyone 166 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: copied it. Whose career would you rather want, Jim Tomy 167 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: or Ben Zobris, which a lot of shows are going with. Yeah, 168 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: we need to change that because it was applicable in 169 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: the first hour for a little while. I was just 170 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: talking about Mike Trout. He manned his career and really 171 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: almost like a Ted Williams career where he has nothing 172 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: to show for it in the postseason. Okay to me 173 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: one seventy three, all right, well, thank you? Ah, what 174 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: are you talk? First of all, Tony, he's awesome, but 175 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: it was all right, move on. Paul Y asked, do 176 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: you want to see if you hate the Lakers then 177 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: lose in the first round or losing the NBA Finals 178 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: games happening? By the way, dude, a lot of people 179 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: hate the Lakers. I wasn't sure they're in that Notre 180 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: Dame Duke category right now. I think it comes down 181 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: to Lebron. I don't know if you look at this 182 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: Laker team and say, boy, I don't like them, it 183 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: comes down to you either like Lebron or you don't. 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: And I don't know of any other player. Where you go, 185 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: there's so many people rooting for and so many people 186 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: rooting against. And you would probably have that with Lebron, Well, Davis, Caldwell, 187 00:09:53,840 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: Pope too, Yeah, of course, yeah, absolutely, yeah, very polarizing, yes, absolutely, yes, 188 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: How would you what do you think people would answer that? 189 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: I have no idea, because I mean, you don't hate 190 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: the Lakers. I think people would love to see them 191 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: go out the first round. I think they'd be like, oh, 192 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: we told you kind of thing. Well, you know, we're 193 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: the main sports station in Los Angeles, and I'm going 194 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: to guess that those people, they love their Lakers, they 195 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: want to see them at least go to the NBA Finals. 196 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: We're also big in Portland, though, yes we are, but 197 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: there's more people in LA than Portland. We're huge in Portland. 198 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: But if Portland they probably would I'm gonna guess first 199 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: round because if if Lebron gets back to another NBA Finals. 200 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: How many would that be for him? Would that be ten? 201 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: The fact that we don't know, and I know people 202 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: would go, yeah, but he lost. I mean, like just 203 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: to get there, it should be an a compliant, an achievement, 204 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: something to be proud of. But for so many years, 205 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: if you got to the super Bowl and lost, you 206 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: basically had a bad season. Yeah, but you're lost in 207 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. By twenty one, we got to the 208 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl, but Lebron got there. Yes, time. It is 209 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: a shame like with Jim Kelly and the Bills that 210 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: more people don't say, you won the AFC Championship four 211 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: times in a row, you got to the super Bowl, 212 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: but you'll never hear them if they won two of those. 213 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: If they went two and two, we would look at 214 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly differently, those Buffalo Bills differently. We would talk 215 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: about them as a baby dynasty of what was almost 216 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: a dynasty, or maybe it was a dynasty. Going to 217 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: four Super Bowls they won two, we'd look at them differently, 218 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: but we do not give them credit that they went 219 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: to four in a row. Yeah, but they lost, Okay, 220 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: I you know, I look at Brady that if you're 221 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: going to go to nine Super Bowls. I mean, it's amazing. 222 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: It's so hard to go to one. Like Patrick Mahomes 223 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are talking about, We're hey, we're gonna 224 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: win four or five six. Maybe maybe if they win 225 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: two more, I would be surprised. But what Brady did 226 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: and what you know Lebron did, I mean, it's truly 227 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: phenomenal to get teams to the Super Bowl. Yeah. Point, 228 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: the last time Lebron James was not in the NBA 229 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: finals it was twenty ten. He's been to seventh straight. No, 230 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: because they didn't make the playoffs. Talk about his run 231 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: he went to seventh straight. So I'm going back to 232 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and ten. He had a seven year run 233 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: where he appeared in the finals. No, yeah, because he 234 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs last year. Uh yeah, I mean 235 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: it's incredible. It's the same thing with Brady. What what 236 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: are you don't make me say the argument, You're gonna 237 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: make me be the guy. If the East, anybody could 238 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: have gotten out of the East. It's like, and the 239 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: Patriots dominated the AFC East. Why did another team do it? 240 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: Because all the good teams are in the West. I know, 241 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: But when they're another team in the East, they could 242 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: just go to the finals like the seven best teams. 243 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: When they're another football team that could go. In the AFC, 244 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: we all saw Fritzie's Broncos beat the worst crowd of 245 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: AFC playoff teams ever and get demolished by the NFC 246 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: year after year. There's a long time ago. What did 247 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: the Broncos do against Cam Newton? That's it's a different thing. 248 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of balance because of the salary 249 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: cap in the NFL. How about Pittsburgh Ravens. What about him? 250 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: They're in the a FC. No, I know, But now 251 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: now there's it's not like there was back in the NFL. 252 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: There's a salary cap, so there's parody across the sport. 253 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: But back in the day there was a huge in balance, 254 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: just like there is. The West is so much better 255 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: than the East now in the NBA. Okay, so lebron 256 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: is number one seed. So what's going to be the 257 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: argument if he wins the title this year, it's his 258 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: most in many ways, it's his impressive. No, it's not 259 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: what he did with the Cavaliers most impressive trip to 260 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: the finals. Get to the finals this year I mean, 261 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: who were the Cavs beating? Who is their rival in 262 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: the East. I don't even remember who they'd beat. The Celtics, 263 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: weren't they arrival? It seemed kind of easy for a 264 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: few of those years. Okay, what about the Niners when 265 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: Joe Montana won Super Bowls? Yeah, back in back in 266 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: the day in the NFL, it was okay, but having okay, 267 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: But like, you can't pick and choose that all of 268 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're gonna go to Brady AFC's and nobody 269 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: was good in the a FC. E's the Jets went 270 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: to two AFC title games, didn't they. Mclovin, come on, 271 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: did they? I don't understand how the salary cap argument though, 272 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: like has any bearing on Tom Brady. No brat he 273 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: lived in the salary cap era that you just said 274 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: created parody across the league, right, So there's not the 275 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: the huge amounts I was just throwing in the Patriots 276 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: as a dig. It was a but it used to 277 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: be back in the day. The NFC was so much 278 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: better than the AFC, And now in the NBA it's 279 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: always the West has been so much better than the 280 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: East for a while. That's Lebron himself said He's like, yeah, 281 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: this is amazing. If I could get through this West, 282 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: that's a big thing. Nobody said that when you know, 283 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: the Celtics were winning titles with Larry Bird and they went, yeah, 284 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: but what about the East or whoever it was coming 285 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: out of the West right the back. Then they used 286 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: to say it about the West because the Lakers would 287 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: beat a bunch of nobody. But nobody brought down up 288 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: except me. Young Andrew prov was like, oh, come on, 289 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: the Lakers just got an automatic buy into the finals. 290 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: Then the Rockets beat them twice. By the way, when 291 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: did you become a hater? I'm not a hater. I'm 292 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: just yesterday it's Luca. Now, you don't like Lebron. I 293 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: do like Lebron, but you don't respect the Patriots with 294 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: what they did, or that Peyton Manning's cults for winning 295 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: the AFC South. Don't forget that. Yeah, oh I know, 296 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: I believe me. I remember that. I'm just stating someone 297 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: had to say the Lebron argument because we all know it. 298 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: That's what people talk about a sports parts. It's like, wow, 299 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: Lebrod got out of the East. I'm not saying it's fair, 300 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: but that is you know, that's the party line. So 301 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: he accidentally got out of the East and went to 302 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: what nine NBA finals, Right, but people say it's not 303 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: as valuable. I mean the win over that when Cleveland won, 304 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: that was incredible. That was pretty good. They beat a really, 305 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: really good team that year. They beat a team that 306 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: won seventy three games. Somehow they got out of the 307 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: East and faced off with the Golden State. No, nobody 308 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: was injured, were they Curry? His knee missed two serious? 309 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: Wasn't the same Curry? Well, so he wasn't the same 310 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: guyster Well, then then Kawahi has an asterisk next to 311 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: his name that to give it right? They do you 312 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: hate Kawai too? I don't know hate. Just because I 313 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: give a key two asterix titles doesn't mean that I 314 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: hate him. I will not allow you to give maya 315 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: chimlajuan two asterisk titles. I love a cue. All right, 316 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: we'll take a break here, we'll get to phone calls. 317 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: Let's come up with another poll question here, okay, or 318 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: is that too LA specific? Do you I'm not sure? Well, 319 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: it's it's la it's a negative, yeah, LA specific. What 320 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: if we put up who do people want to see 321 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: as the eight seed? The Blazers, the Pelicans, are the Grizzlies. 322 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna pick the Grizzlies, right, and maybe they don't 323 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: even maybe the Spurs or the Suns will be ahead 324 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: of them anyway. Yeah, well they're they're wounded now now 325 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: even with Jaren Jackson, like they were at least formidable, 326 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: but not now, and with the schedule getting tougher for them. 327 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think they're gonna make the playoffs nineteen. 328 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: After the hour, h we'll get to your phone calls 329 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: coming up here. Take a break back after this from 330 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show.

Open to the open to the group. 384 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: By the way, now are you saying twenty five years? 385 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: To bring somebody else into the equation? So tiger would 386 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: be the obvious answer, but tiger is not the answer. 387 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: Would you would you give me that that Tiger is 388 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: not the right answer? I would say that you are 389 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: very close with that. Yes, tiger, Tiger sounds like the answer, 390 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: but is not the answer. Tigers. Second, Phil Mickelson has 391 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: the most rounds in the sixties. Phil Mickelson has one 392 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: hundred and nine rounds in the sixties. You want to 393 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: take a guess at tigers ninety nine rounds in the sixties. 394 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: Very good, Very good. Now, who has the most birdies 395 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: of any player in the majors over the past twenty 396 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: five years?

Well, I'm figuring if Phil has the most 399 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: rounds in the sixties. Phil has the most birdies. Amazing. Yes, 400 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: if Phil Mickelson said that's this game, you're on fire. 401 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: I think Callaway sent his to I tried to change it. 402 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: I tried to trick you up with going two fill 403 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: questions right back to back. Yeah, Phil has over thirteen hundred. Okay, 404 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: Bertie's again, so we'll stick with Phil here. Okay, Phil 405 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: exciting was leading after thirty six holes at the Travelers 406 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: right after he turned fifty. When was the last time 407 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: someone fifty plus led after thirty six holes on tour? 408 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: I was gonna go burn Hard longer.

That shouldn't names shouldn't be so much fun 412 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: to say, But for some reason it is Bernhard longer. 413 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: You kind of go inside Bernard, you kind of go 414 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: burn Hard, burn Hard longer. Now. I know Freddie Couples 415 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: led after one round of the Masters, but I don't 416 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: know if he led after two rounds of the Masters. 417 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go burn Hard longer.

Yeah, 495 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean you don't really remember who was the guy 496 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: who got traded to Tampa Oh, Logan Mankink and yeah, 497 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: every time you see Nate Solder, by the way, you're like, oh, yeah, Patriot, 498 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: that was like ten years ago. He opted out, by 499 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: the way, So tonight would have been the Hall of 500 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: Fame game between the Cowboys and Steelers. M you know, 501 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: this is where your undrafted free agents are going to 502 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: have a really hard time making the roster. And I 503 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 1: mean think about Tony Romo without a preseason when he 504 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: was first signed by the Cowboys. He was an undrafted 505 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: free agent. So you're gonna have you know, we have 506 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: these long shots where guys make the team, but they 507 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to make the team because there is 508 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: a preseason. Doug in North Carolina joins us Hi. Doug, 509 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Well, then I've 510 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: got a name of another one of the all time 511 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: baseball greats who had a kind of abysmal um postseason career. 512 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: But before I get to that, I would like to say, 513 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: if you're diving up parts of your remains, yes, I 514 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: would like to claim your baby blue eyes. Oh wow, Okay, Doug. 515 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: Nobody has claimed that I said I want to be 516 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: cremated and that I was going to divvy up my 517 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: body in the fourth for the Danets. But you know, 518 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: I can I can see if I can set the 519 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: eyes aside for you dog, they can be I don't 520 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: want the actual you know, oh you don't spooking? Who knows? 521 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: Um My, my suggestion, my recommendation is if you have 522 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: to overlook his early on in his career when he 523 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: was in the bullpen. But Nolan Ryan as a starting pitcher, 524 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: one of the great pitchers ever starting rotation, didn't really 525 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: have a postseason career other than eighty six when he 526 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: when we were playing the Mets. But other than that, 527 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: he's one of the all time greats and never really 528 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: did anything in the postseason. Yeah, he's he's probably the 529 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: statistical anomaly when it comes to the regular season, Thank you, Doug, 530 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: because Nolan Ryan, you know, he would win three hundred games, 531 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: but he lost what, you know, two hundred and sixty games. 532 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: He always got a decision, always got a decision, and 533 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: he would you know, strike out twelve, walk eight, give 534 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: up two hits. He was so dominating. And he was 535 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: also with the sixty nine Mets. He was a relief 536 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: pitcher for the sixty nine Mets, so he got a 537 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: title there. Joe and Ohio joins us. Hey, Joe, thank 538 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: you sir one a hard one nine. You guys cracked 539 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: me up when he was thanks for taking my car. 540 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: I just wanted to time in really quick on the 541 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: whole polarizing Lebron comments. I get teased by my friends 542 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: because I'm from Ohio and I've never really been a 543 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: big Lebron fan. But there's this a variety of things 544 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: that he's done throughout his early career that kind of 545 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: bled into his later career, starting off with how he 546 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: got swept in oh seven, which of course wasn't really 547 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: his fault. He didn't really have a good team around him. 548 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: But then the embarrassing two thousand and ten interview that 549 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: we all know, and his performance in the two eleven 550 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: finals where he only scored eight point. It's those kind 551 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: of things from a great player that we respect his talent, 552 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: but he hasn't always shown up, and yet when he has, 553 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: if his team moses, he tends to kind of put 554 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: the blame on his teammates, which is not really that flattering, 555 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: but I just wanted to share that and thanks for 556 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: taking a call. Yeah. I mean, look, he's flawed. Lebron 557 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: has had his moments, absolutely, but you can't deny the 558 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: greatness that you're seeing. There's been no player like him ever. 559 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if there ever will be a player 560 00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: like him, A past first superstar who also is going 561 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: to be maybe the leading scorer in the history of 562 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: the game. Right just think about that, a pass first 563 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer who might be the all time leading 564 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: scorer in the history of the game. Imagine if Magic 565 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: Johnson averaged twenty eight points per game for his career 566 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: for eighteen years, that's what you'd have. But Lebron's a 567 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: better defender, better rebounder. Magic's a better you know, floor 568 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: leader in my opinion, better passer. But Lebron is a 569 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: willing passer. And this, you know, I don't know if 570 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: his personality is going to change when they the deeper 571 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,479 Speaker 1: they get into the postseason, because to me, Anthony Davis 572 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: has to be the star. Anthony Davis has to put 573 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: up thirty a night, thirty five a night, and it's 574 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: up to Lebron to make sure that he gets into 575 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: that great rhythm you find him in good positions, you 576 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: get him some baskets here. You forget how great Anthony 577 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: Davis can be because he was that in New Orleans. 578 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: Just nobody was watching New Orleans play, but he is. 579 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he can do everything there. He doesn't have 580 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: the handle I was looking at, and I always maintain 581 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: he was the Greek Freak before the Greek freak. This 582 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: ability to be that tall and be able to and 583 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: he's a better shooter than the Greek freak. He's not 584 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: a better ball handler, but he's got a wonderful shot, 585 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: great touch and that ability to get into the paint. 586 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: Great defender as well. Anthony Davis has to be great, 587 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: and I feel like Paul George has to be great 588 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: for the Clippers. Chris Middleton has to be great for 589 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: the Bucks. You know, with the Raptors, Kyle Lowry has 590 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: to be great. Pascal Siakam, you know, like you have 591 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: these guys where you go, one guy's not going to 592 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: do it. You need to have somebody else who is 593 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: going to be great, not good, not very good, but great. 594 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook and James Harden must be great. The Blazer's 595 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: backcourt must be great. Porzingis and Luca must be great 596 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: if you're going to advance. You know, the seventy six ers. 597 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: Can you have Ben Simmons and Joe lmb be great? 598 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: And I doubt it. Kemba Walker is not the same. 599 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: So it's got to be Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum must 600 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: be great if you're going to do some damage here, 601 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: because one guy is not going to lead you. And 602 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: as great as Lebron has been, he's always needed help. 603 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: You needed, you know, the other guys with Dwyane Wade 604 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: and Chris Bosh in Miami, you needed Kyrie and Kevin Love. 605 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: In Cleveland. As great as Steph Curry is, he still 606 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: needed Draymond Green and lay Thompson and then Kevin Durant, 607 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: he needed help to win his championships. You're not winning 608 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: a title by one person. Bill Russell was surrounded by 609 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: I believe eight, seven or eight other Hall of Fame 610 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: in his career. Go back and look, I think seven 611 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: or eight of the so eight of the twelve guys 612 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: on the roster became Hall of famers. Can't do it alone, 613 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: but you must be great, and Anthony Davis has to 614 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: be great. Who's calling in? Todd? Mister Dan Dockage from Indianapolis. 615 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: What does want?

I don't know who 642 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 1: made the decision for Yukon to shut down their football program. 643 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: I know that they're spinning this that this is about 644 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: the health and safety of the kids. I think it's 645 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 1: the health of the athletic department. Now, could be both, 646 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: but if you don't have anybody to play, then it's 647 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: kind of hard to have a season. And how costly 648 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: would football be for Connecticut. I think that's why they 649 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: were shutting this down.

I took it and it 677 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: was fine. Oladipo went a little Paul Georgian us, He 678 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: went a little Paul Georgian went a little diva on 679 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: us for a little bit. But he's back. But I'm 680 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,800 Speaker 1: telling you Dan, t J. Warren people talking about his shooting, 681 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: but my man has been brilliant. I mean he is cutting, 682 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: he is backdoor, he is getting in the midpost. I 683 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: called the Bondsi Wells Era area and he made I think. 684 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: There's a kid name Wangu who is from Kansas State 685 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 1: that was trying to guard him the other day. And 686 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: he may look sick, maybe look like a little kid. 687 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: This team is good, Dan, this team is smart. This 688 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: team is good. Brogden, Malcolm Brogden has missed and this 689 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: is bad. He's missed games because of eight different ailments. 690 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: He's a tad fragile apparently. But when those three guys 691 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: are on the court, and I'm talking about Brogden, Oladipo 692 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: and t J.

Yeah, but you said, if 694 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: they on the floor, if they're on the floor. You're 695 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: right if they are on the floor, and then you 696 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: throw in TJ. Warren, you got sabonus in there. Yeah, 697 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: they could, they could provide some damage. Do you mean? 698 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: You know? And I'm not one of those guys that 699 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: poop Poo's were a small market. I mean, I don't 700 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: need to talk about it. But I'm all Portland's small 701 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: market too, and I'm talking about Portland today. Yeah, but 702 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 1: they're not any good. I mean they they're like an 703 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 1: eighth seed.

Nobody talked about it when bird was running 709 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: through the east. Now, all of a sudden, because for 710 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: whatever the reason, we're all mad about Lebron's success and 711 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Why do you sound surprised that I 712 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: had a great point. Well, it's because I know you, Dan, 713 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: and it's just so rare. He's sitting there listening to you, 714 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: and I heard blah blah blah blah blah, and then 715 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was a great point, and 716 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: I woke up almost spilled my coffee. Who's gonna win 717 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: the East? Dan, I'm Milwaukee? Okay, So then at this 718 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: a moot point?

Uh everybody doesn't like something about their employee, Okay, 732 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: And he may not have liked that, but that's not 733 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: the reason he stepped down. And Larry, Larry's been very upfront. 734 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: He's like, look, you know when he coached, he said, 735 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm only coaching for three years because that's all players 736 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: want to listen to you, is three years. And when 737 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 1: he was a general manager here locally, he always talked 738 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 1: about when he knew it was time to get out, 739 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: when he couldn't travel because he was a guy. Larry 740 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 1: Bird was a guy that would sit in the front 741 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: row at Portsmouth, Dan and I was there. I've been there, 742 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: I've seen him. He sits in the front row Portsmouths 743 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: while everybody's talking to each other, Larry was working, and 744 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: Larry would fly out and Larry's he literally had his 745 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: back was such that he couldn't do what he wanted 746 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: to do. And he said it the entire time he 747 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: was here. When it gets too much, And I know 748 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: that that Kevin and Chad Buchan in the restaurat to go, 749 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm gone. I'm gonna stay around and be 750 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: I'd be an advisor if they need me, but I'm going. 751 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: And then I read that stuff and I'm like, Number one, 752 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: why do we even bring that up? Because the Pacers 753 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: will spend has never really been an issue. It's just 754 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: who the deal was spending. Dan, as you will know, 755 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: is two sided like I can say, Dan Patrick, I'm 756 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: the Pacers. I want to sign you, which I never would. 757 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: But I could say that and somebody and you say, well, 758 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to go there. It's too sided. It's 759 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: like recruiting. Just because you offer money doesn't mean people 760 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: are coming in. Paul George whatever, paula, whoa, whoa, when 761 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: you were talking about recruiting and offering money here, Wow, 762 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: all right he got signed.

I thought it 767 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: was a big build up there. Who's gonna win, Oh Milwaukee? 768 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: And then just because they offer you money doesn't mean 769 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna go to that school. I think he threw 770 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: that in as well. Yes, McLevin, Indiana only won in 771 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: basketball because they were the Big ten of football conference 772 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: all those years.
