Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour This Wednesday, Dan and The Day
Speaker 1: That's Dan Patrick Show, Reggie Miller will stop by. We'll
Speaker 1: see what he has to say about his good buddy
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson. His former teammate. Mark is going to be
Speaker 1: taking some heat when he arrives in Denver. Mark, of
Speaker 1: course left the Joker off his MVP ballot. Now he said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, But when you apologize now, that doesn't solve anything.
Speaker 1: Hey you're sorry, but you still didn't put the joker
Speaker 1: on your top five ballot for MVP. Whatever happened to
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry. That's all Mark is saying. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I made a mistake. I left him off my ballot.
Speaker 1: And now he's going to be in Denver doing the
Speaker 1: games starting tomorrow night. Yes, Pauling, but.
Speaker 2: Mark Jackson, it was an accident. It was like a
Speaker 2: brain moment where he just didn't do it. It wasn't on purpose.
Speaker 2: And if he did that on purpose, he shouldn't say sorry,
Speaker 2: which he didn't. Well, why would fans be mad about that?
Speaker 1: I guess there were a couple of fans who got
Speaker 1: on him in Denver and Jeff Van Gundhi was sticking
Speaker 1: up for Mark Jackson, saying that there's a couple of
Speaker 1: clowns here who won't let Mark apologize for making the mistake.
Speaker 1: I don't think Mark's votes prevented the Joker from winning
Speaker 1: the MVP. Now, if it did, then I could understand
Speaker 1: why they'd be a little frosty. But you got your
Speaker 1: team in the NBA Finals. That's the most important thing,
Speaker 1: not an individual award. Like, what do you upset about?
Speaker 1: Because Mark didn't recognize the Joker? It's on him, Like
Speaker 1: who cares plan a parade?
Speaker 3: Yes, Mark, I do love this lack of respect thing
Speaker 3: the Nuggets are going with. But Joker just won the
Speaker 3: last two MVP awards, so it's not like no one
Speaker 3: in an NBA doesn't respect his game.
Speaker 1: Well, if you want to talk about lack of respect,
Speaker 1: it would be the Miami Heat. It felt like every
Speaker 1: game they were eight point underdogs against the Boston Celtics,
Speaker 1: and they'll be big underdogs here against the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1: They don't care. I haven't heard the oh Woe is me?
Speaker 1: Miami Heat, Eric Spolster, Jimmy Butler, Like Jimmy Butler said, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's the motivation, Well, we can and we will win
Speaker 1: this series. That was yet there's nothing else that's been
Speaker 1: headline worthy here, But they don't come out and do
Speaker 1: a pity party. Oh woe is me. You don't take
Speaker 1: a serious whatever it might be, and Denver should adopt
Speaker 1: the same thing.
Speaker 4: Who cares?
Speaker 1: Do you want an apology for Mark Jackson and not
Speaker 1: win the championship? Okay with that, because that seems like
Speaker 1: it's so important. Joker already said Joe ellenb deserved it.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Joker goes over to Mark Jackson and gives
Speaker 1: him a hug, just like he gave a hug to
Speaker 1: Matt Ishbia, the Sun's owner. Like make it all good.
Speaker 1: So it goes away and it shouldn't be a topic
Speaker 1: for the NBA Finals, but I feel like it will be. Yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: See how Denver Nuggets fans though, if they want to
Speaker 2: turn on national sports radio or a national sports TV
Speaker 2: show and their team is not being talked about after
Speaker 2: another playoff victory and it's a throwaway line and the
Speaker 2: Nuggets one. But what happens to blank? What happens to blank?
Speaker 2: Because of you know, analytics for TV. I could see
Speaker 2: how that could be frustrating for a fan base.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Denver's not exciting, but they're attracted to a story,
Speaker 1: a player, exciting. Golden State fit all of that.
Speaker 2: But there's other teams that about out of the playoffs
Speaker 2: that are not exciting to watch. You know, the Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers aren't exciting.
Speaker 1: Yes they are, they're frustrating. No, they got Lebron that's
Speaker 1: not exciting. That's ratings gold. Yeah, his days are watching,
Speaker 1: you know, to see him win or lose.
Speaker 2: His days of being exciting player are over.
Speaker 1: His days. He's still great TV. He is. Denver has
Speaker 1: a great team start to finish, best team, but they're
Speaker 1: not tune in factor worthy. For if you're a casual
Speaker 1: basketball fan and you know the Nuggets are playing, you're
Speaker 1: going to breeze right by there. And if I said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Joker's playing, Jamal Murray's playing, Aaron Gore
Speaker 1: is playing. You're not stopping Michael Porter Junior the third.
Speaker 1: You're not stopping Golden State, You're stopping Jimmy Butler. You're
Speaker 1: probably stopping Celtics. You might because they're the Celtics. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's certain teams and players that you're gonna watch. It's
Speaker 1: just that's the fact. If you ask a TV executive
Speaker 1: what do you think of Denver in the finals, if
Speaker 1: they were honest, they'd go, oh, well, you know, we
Speaker 1: hope for a seven game series.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's odd though, because their style of play is
Speaker 5: super exciting. It's they've been easily one of the most
Speaker 5: exciting teams to watch in the playoffs, easily.
Speaker 1: But Joker is not exciting to a casual fan. I
Speaker 1: love the science of his approach every time, down of
Speaker 1: how he sees it's it's a chess game for him.
Speaker 1: I love it. But it doesn't it It doesn't render ratings.
Speaker 1: It's not like you go, oh my god, how many
Speaker 1: times did we say during the entire year the last
Speaker 1: couple of years, where you went, did you see Joker
Speaker 1: last night? Exactly? It didn't happen. But we would talk
Speaker 1: about stephf or we talk about Lebron or Yannis or
Speaker 1: embiid Luca. There'd be certain players that you talked about
Speaker 1: them individually. Now I'm going to watch it, and I
Speaker 1: hope others do. As I said when the playoffs started,
Speaker 1: when when the Nuggets played the Lakers, I said, I
Speaker 1: hope people get a chance to see the Joker in
Speaker 1: action because you're going to watch because you have to,
Speaker 1: because you're tuning in to watch the Lakers, and by proxy,
Speaker 1: you're going to see the best player in the game
Speaker 1: right now. And he proved that and will probably continue
Speaker 1: to prove that in the NBA Finals here. I love
Speaker 1: that we're at least able to watch him play a game,
Speaker 1: because if you're watching for highlights, you're not getting highlights
Speaker 1: out of the Joker.
Speaker 5: Yes see, that's what's so weird that there's things that
Speaker 5: don't add up.
Speaker 1: How can the best.
Speaker 5: Player in the game not be exciting, you know? How
Speaker 5: can you have a boring triple double?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 5: But that it kind of happens, Yes, it does. It's
Speaker 5: very odd, though it doesn't make sense because right he'll
Speaker 5: get a rebound and then that outlet passed Aaron Gordon
Speaker 5: who's already halfway down the court monster jam. It's an
Speaker 5: exciting play, but but not from his part of it.
Speaker 1: No, Luca will give you a triple double. But Luca
Speaker 1: will give you more exciting plays. And he shoots deep.
Speaker 1: But you know, Luca is sort of a smaller version
Speaker 1: of the Joker with a little better range. There but
Speaker 1: they're great, you know, both great passers, they get their shots,
Speaker 1: they do everything for their team. But Joker is playing
Speaker 1: at a really, really high level. It's just not an
Speaker 1: exciting high level.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marph, you may have a point, but I think
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray, I think he can be incredibly exciting when
Speaker 3: he gets hot, Like when he got hot against the
Speaker 3: Lakers in the fourth quarter, it was like he's throwing
Speaker 3: up horse shots. So I think they have some exciting pieces.
Speaker 3: But the Joker, you know, kind of bumbling and stumbling.
Speaker 3: Like I think the look of the Joker, like if
Speaker 3: he was built like bam Adebayo, I think it may
Speaker 3: be different, but I think.
Speaker 2: It's the I'd rather have the guy who's a little looser.
Speaker 3: No, no, but I'm saying the build, not the game itself,
Speaker 3: just because I think it's the old guy at the
Speaker 3: wide Look.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes we like to see somebody do something that
Speaker 1: we can't.
Speaker 6: Do, that's what. But we also like fat basketball players.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he's going to be able to play
Speaker 1: that way for another fifteen years because it's not like
Speaker 1: they go, hey he's going to slow down or uh,
Speaker 1: he's not going to be able to jump. This is
Speaker 1: who he's going to be for the next ten years. Now,
Speaker 1: he's going to dominate, right. It's not like he's, oh
Speaker 1: my god, he's lost his step. He didn't have a
Speaker 1: step to lose. Yeah, pulling, I think the day is
Speaker 1: the joke.
Speaker 2: It's being Doe or three years ago. He I think
Speaker 2: the guy is jacked now. And there's some guys who
Speaker 2: have different muscle tone, like Kobe Bryant to me, always
Speaker 2: was a guy who never had like the defined muscle
Speaker 2: ton of Michael Jordan or lebron who's gigantia but who
Speaker 2: does right. But like Kobe Bryant, it was always kind
Speaker 2: of like he was always in great shape, clearly, but
Speaker 2: he never looked jacked like or big or strong. And
Speaker 2: Djokis has the same thing. He does not look jacked,
Speaker 2: but he's My guess is you wouldn't want to push
Speaker 2: against him.
Speaker 1: But I don't tune in to see if somebody's jacked.
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's the case, there have been a
Speaker 1: lot of guys who've been in the league where you go,
Speaker 1: that guy's jack can you play no?
Speaker 2: But he looks good like Kevin Willis the powerful he
Speaker 2: was jacked.
Speaker 1: Chris Wilcox yes, yeah, but it's not a knock on
Speaker 1: them because I'm going to watch because I love, you know,
Speaker 1: good quality, pure basketball. And they they run, you know,
Speaker 1: they got scores, they bang the boards, they do the
Speaker 1: right thing, they make the extra pass. It's just not exciting.
Speaker 1: Just not Lakers. Celtics would have been more exciting and
Speaker 1: more eyeballs on it, that's all. It's just the reality
Speaker 1: of it. Scott and Jacksonville. Hi, Scott, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today?
Speaker 7: Good morning, Dan. I think I have the explanation that
Speaker 7: you've been craving about the NHL being the final and
Speaker 7: the NBA being the finals. Okay, with the NHL, you're
Speaker 7: referring to the Stanley Cup, the trophy a singular item,
Speaker 7: so it's final. With the NBA, you're talking about a group,
Speaker 7: the association, so it's finals. And that's what I got.
Speaker 1: Are they both correct.
Speaker 4: In my mind?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, that's all that matters. It's correct in Scott's money.
Speaker 2: Sure sounds like I knew he was talking about it.
Speaker 1: But you get the Stanley Cup and that makes it
Speaker 1: a final. You win the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Speaker 5: It's also a singular thing. Yes, I think the NHL, Well,
Speaker 5: I'm not an association. I believe it is a league
Speaker 5: involving multiple people.
Speaker 2: I think Stanley Cup Final will be grammatically correct because
Speaker 2: it's a series of games that it's an event. It's not,
Speaker 2: but it's final. But the entire event is the final.
Speaker 1: It's not no if the last game would be the final.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think the entire process is called the
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Final. I think grammatically the NHL is winning
Speaker 2: this one because the NBA Finals, there's not multiple finals.
Speaker 2: There's multiple games, but the finals is an event.
Speaker 1: I think, well, it covered both of them and had
Speaker 1: to be corrected. Sometimes it's Stanley Cup Final.
Speaker 2: Better grammar NHL or NBA. Whole question.
Speaker 1: And why an association? Why did they come up with
Speaker 1: an association like min not a league? Yelmore?
Speaker 3: And the best part about that is who want to
Speaker 3: get to the NBA? They say I want to get
Speaker 3: to the league.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They never say I want to get to the association. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So change it to the NBL NBL finals.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 5: And why does baseball put their sport in the middle
Speaker 5: and not the end, or actually at the end and
Speaker 5: not the middle like Major League baseball, but everybody else
Speaker 5: is Naational Football League, National Football League Hockey.
Speaker 1: So Major Baseball League. All right, so we're going to
Speaker 1: change that too.
Speaker 6: That's what if.
Speaker 1: It's a lot to change.
Speaker 5: If it followed the other sports, it would be NBL.
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to follow them playing in
Speaker 1: the NBL. Yeah, let me see. Let me get to
Speaker 1: Seth in West Virginia. Then we'll take a break. Reggie
Speaker 1: Miller will join us, coming up, Hi, Seth.
Speaker 8: Hey Man five, ten thirty five. Thank you. And I
Speaker 8: got some music suggestions from Marvin Casey and the Sunshine Bank.
Speaker 1: And are they Florida?
Speaker 8: They are Florida. That's where they get the sunshine in
Speaker 8: their name.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 1: I like that do a little dance.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like you could have a whole cookout
Speaker 8: just on their playlist. But I was wondering, could we
Speaker 8: throw in if Denver gets the vote, could we throw
Speaker 8: in some Gilligan's Island because Bob Denver played Gilligan.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a stretch, but if we're going to throw
Speaker 1: in John Denver and Bob Denver played Gilligan, Yes, yes.
Speaker 6: Doroda ad Jason, Okay, no to both, Okay, no.
Speaker 1: To Casey No to Casey in the Sunshine Band.
Speaker 3: No, No, they're saying Bob Denver and John Denver. Okay
Speaker 3: said their last names are just well part of Colorado.
Speaker 1: If you want to get John Denver, wouldn't be bad
Speaker 1: to shoehorn him in there to the Cookout playlist. That's
Speaker 1: good radio man. Okay, Casey in the Sunshine Band for sure, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah they were a thing for a while.
Speaker 6: They seem like they had a run.
Speaker 1: Yeah they did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Biscuit's run, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 2: The National Basketball Association was originally called the Basketball Association
Speaker 2: of America, the BA, the baa BA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then golf and tennis have a tour, right, So.
Speaker 2: The Basketball Association of America was found in nineteen forty six,
Speaker 2: and then it merged with the NBL, and that's where
Speaker 2: the NBA was form.
Speaker 1: Let me take a break. Reggie Miller will save the
Speaker 1: program coming up next year, Dan Patrick show, I played
Speaker 1: golf over the weekend and I have not hit the
Speaker 1: ball better in my entire life. Now, I didn't score great,
Speaker 1: probably shot the seventy eight. Now your results may vary,
Speaker 1: but I will say this, and even the guys I'm
Speaker 1: playing with who I played with for a long time.
Speaker 1: They're like, what's the deal, man, And I go, I
Speaker 1: gotta say it's the clubs. It's not me. The PXG clubs.
Speaker 1: They got the all new three to one seven CB
Speaker 1: players irons. I don't use those. I'm not good enough
Speaker 1: to use those. That's the elite level players. But you're
Speaker 1: going to love everything about their clubs what they have.
Speaker 1: As with all PXG irons, you can blend your set
Speaker 1: if you want to. Elite players may want to bring
Speaker 1: in a different version here, and you can mix and
Speaker 1: match if you want to. But the PXG Gen six clubs,
Speaker 1: they're awesome. That's what I use. Also the golf ball
Speaker 1: that they spent a decade on trying to develop. All
Speaker 1: of those things and it makes the game so much
Speaker 1: more enjoyable. PXG dot com find a PXG fitting location
Speaker 1: and get custom fitted. That's PXG dot com. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern
Speaker 1: six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you
Speaker 1: can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or
Speaker 1: stream us live on the Peacock app on the Streets
Speaker 1: of Detroit, returns to the IndyCars Circuit, the world's fastest
Speaker 1: drivers roll in to the Motor City. Sunday three Eastern
Speaker 1: on NBC and Peacock The return of Reggie Miller, the
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. He turned his sports NBA analyst and
Speaker 1: he was working in the Garden when the heat came
Speaker 1: in and stole the Eastern Conference Finals. What was it
Speaker 1: like pre game? What were you what was your thought pregame?
Speaker 1: With that atmosphere in the garden, it.
Speaker 9: Was absolutely electrifying in the garden. They had perhaps maybe
Speaker 9: the best hype tape I had ever seen before. The
Speaker 9: crowd was jack. They had a mixture of video of
Speaker 9: the Red Sox. I believe that was that four four
Speaker 9: when they came back from three to zero versus the Yankee.
Speaker 4: So they had that spliced in with a lot of.
Speaker 9: Game footage and postgame interviews of Game six. And I'm
Speaker 9: here to tell you that crowd was absolutely pumped. The
Speaker 9: atmosphere was there, and then twenty seconds into the game,
Speaker 9: the balloon somewhat popped because and I said this on air,
Speaker 9: and you know this very well. Your stars set the tongue,
Speaker 9: They set the tone in the first quarter of how
Speaker 9: we're going to play.
Speaker 4: Are we going to be aggressive? I'm going to go.
Speaker 9: After that, and sometimes that can have a negative effect
Speaker 9: as well. When Tatum went down with the ankle injury
Speaker 9: and he didn't pop up quickly enough and you could
Speaker 9: see on his face that he had rolled it pretty well,
Speaker 9: to me, that set the tone of how the Celtics
Speaker 9: were going to play again. It's just a feeling. I
Speaker 9: have a gut feeling having been in that situation when
Speaker 9: we were in the Coffee Finals versus Chicago, when I
Speaker 9: had a twisted ankle playing against Jordan the Bulls and
Speaker 9: you're not one hundred percent your guy's feet off of that.
Speaker 4: I felt his teammates feed off of that and they
Speaker 4: played like that.
Speaker 1: Before we get to the matchup. You mentioned the matchup
Speaker 1: against Jordan and the Bulls and what did you make
Speaker 1: of Scottie Pippens comments that Mike when he first got
Speaker 1: into the league was horrible basketball player.
Speaker 4: I think it's more war choice that we're focusing in
Speaker 4: on here. The word horrible.
Speaker 9: No, it wasn't horrible because he was a top three
Speaker 9: player at the time. He was an All Indie player.
Speaker 9: He was electrifying, horrible means he couldn't is like a
Speaker 9: role player.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 9: And to Scotty's point, and what he's trying to say is,
Speaker 9: Mike didn't start winning and playing team basketball until I got.
Speaker 4: On the team.
Speaker 9: I think again, people want to play. Look, we know
Speaker 9: there's an ongoing do you do we want to call
Speaker 9: it a few.
Speaker 1: Between scottis side? It feels like.
Speaker 4: On Scotty side.
Speaker 9: Look, Michael says, Look, I didn't win until Scotty got here.
Speaker 4: Michael, he has said that plenty of times.
Speaker 9: I think, for whatever reason, that whole Last Dance documentary
Speaker 9: really has been a trigger for a Pippin And I
Speaker 9: think it was just poor word choice in saying horrible
Speaker 9: because he wasn't horrible. But he is correct and he
Speaker 9: wasn't playing a brand of team basketball that was winning
Speaker 9: basketball until Pippen got there. That that is true, but horrible.
Speaker 4: Not so much.
Speaker 1: But you know what, when we talk about great teams
Speaker 1: of all time, it's usually Shack and Kobe's Lakers, or
Speaker 1: it might be the Big Three with you know, Bird
Speaker 1: and McHale and Parrish, uh Drexler, Elijah one when they
Speaker 1: were together, you know, Magic and Kareem. We don't say
Speaker 1: Jordan and Pippen, Yeah we do. No, we say Jordan's bulls.
Speaker 9: No, no, we say we say the six pet the
Speaker 9: two three peats, And you do say Jordan and Pippen.
Speaker 4: You just don't say Jordan, because.
Speaker 1: Again I think the public does reg Mike was too big.
Speaker 1: It's it's Jordan's bulls.
Speaker 9: Okay, basketball purists say Jordan Pippen. The casual fan will
Speaker 9: say Jordan, Yes, fair enough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I wonder about that was Scotty that you know,
Speaker 1: it feels like he is still crying out for, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody to hug him and just say you were great.
Speaker 4: That's it, right, That's exactly it. Don't forget me, guys,
Speaker 4: I'm over here. I was a part of it. I mean,
Speaker 4: Steve Kerr, Horace Grant, they all they almost say the
Speaker 4: same thing. You don't hear Denis Rodmans say anything like this. Again.
Speaker 9: I think Mike and Scotty need to get into a
Speaker 9: room and hash out whatever this difference is between them.
Speaker 4: Because Chicago and that run.
Speaker 9: Of six championships, I don't know if that'll ever be
Speaker 9: done again. And those two guys are central figures of
Speaker 9: why They're why the Bulls are viewed as one of
Speaker 9: the greatest franchises the whole time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're not going to get him in the
Speaker 1: same room you got Scotty's ex with Michael's sons. I
Speaker 1: mean no, I'm just telling you they muddied up the water.
Speaker 1: They muddied I didn't. I just noticed the color of
Speaker 1: the water.
Speaker 9: Look, I'm not going to get into people's personal Okay,
Speaker 9: we're talking.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's it's Scotty's ex REGI mix exes and
Speaker 1: oh no's. I think that's what it is. We're talking
Speaker 1: to Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer. I mentioned with
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Joker, but he's not exciting to watch.
Speaker 1: He's unbelievably great, you know, great player. But you know,
Speaker 1: the casual basketball fan, will they tune into the NBA Finals? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Probably not I the casual fan, No, not unless probably
Speaker 9: after games three or four, if it's you know, two
Speaker 9: to two and interest starts to build.
Speaker 4: But again, Denver, Miami, it's not sexy.
Speaker 9: But again, the basketball peerist like you and myself, I
Speaker 9: want to see Joker playing. I love what he does
Speaker 9: on the floor and for his teammates. Same with Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 9: the warrior mentality, the underdog, the eighth seed. I mean,
Speaker 9: think about it. They beat a one, they beat a two,
Speaker 9: and they beat a five seed. That's unbelievable. So yeah,
Speaker 9: there's storylines there, But it's not Lebron, it's not Katie,
Speaker 9: it's not the Boston Celtics. So yeah, you're casual fan,
Speaker 9: probably won't tune in until it matters or means something.
Speaker 9: But I think you're basketball peers who love the game
Speaker 9: of basketball, obviously, won't you.
Speaker 1: All Right, what do you do with Jalen Brown? If
Speaker 1: you're the Celtics, You've got to retirement.
Speaker 9: Look, you've got two young players twenty six and twenty
Speaker 9: five that are just coming into their own and you
Speaker 9: can't lose him for nothing. I'm sure you can get
Speaker 9: a sign in trade, but you've got to find a way.
Speaker 9: You've got to open up the piggy bank. And to me,
Speaker 9: Tatum and Brown will arguably one of the greatest duels
Speaker 9: in our games today.
Speaker 4: You've got Katie and Booker.
Speaker 9: You can put Lebron and ad in there if you want,
Speaker 9: Luke and Kyrie if they happen to stay together, but
Speaker 9: certainly Tatum and Brown to me is one of the
Speaker 9: better duos in our game. Young duals too. Let them
Speaker 9: grow together. And here's the thing. They've been in the
Speaker 9: finals before they were they just got beat in game
Speaker 9: seven of the conference. This is a team that's tested, right,
Speaker 9: They're that close to break it up now to have
Speaker 9: a knee jerk reaction to this season, no, I open
Speaker 9: up the piggy bank and sign that. Man.
Speaker 1: Do you want to tie up a half a billion
Speaker 1: dollars in two players who play a similar style?
Speaker 9: I would, and I would build around that again, if
Speaker 9: we are it's one game, if they win game seven,
Speaker 9: are we really talking about should we, you know, re
Speaker 9: sign him?
Speaker 4: No, they've been back to back trips to the finals.
Speaker 4: JA two young players.
Speaker 9: I I do it, I really do.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. And two not.
Speaker 9: Only are they to two way players too, they both
Speaker 9: play defense as well.
Speaker 4: It's hard to come by.
Speaker 9: You need length in this game, and they're six seven
Speaker 9: six ' eight long.
Speaker 4: They both can score, they both can defend. Theodore. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I do it.
Speaker 1: Okay, this logic to me that you shoot the three.
Speaker 1: Now you're down by double digits, you keep shooting the
Speaker 1: three to try to come back and you're not making
Speaker 1: they reg They were seven for forty from three point
Speaker 1: range before they made their last two. Can't we get
Speaker 1: to the free throw line? Can't we take it to
Speaker 1: the hoop? What's wrong with the two? Can I get
Speaker 1: something that gives us a little bit of confidence instead
Speaker 1: of jacking up threes?
Speaker 9: That was their problem all postseason in my opinion for Boston,
Speaker 9: but that's how they played all year. I think what
Speaker 9: was lost is they were a top ten defensive team
Speaker 9: and a top ten offensive team come postseason. They left
Speaker 9: their defense in the regular season and became just it
Speaker 9: was all about shooting threes and we're going to outscore you,
Speaker 9: and they lost their defensive identity. To me, that was
Speaker 9: in a nutshell, the down wall for the Celtics. They
Speaker 9: lost their their defensive what got them here, what made
Speaker 9: them so.
Speaker 4: Great last year?
Speaker 9: To me, they were a much better team defensively because
Speaker 9: this season they let their.
Speaker 4: Offense dictate how they played.
Speaker 9: If they weren't shooting at three well, as we saw
Speaker 9: in a lot of games in the conference finals, it
Speaker 9: affected their defense and they could recover from that and
Speaker 9: how they played in Game six. If they have played
Speaker 9: the whole postseason like that, they had a wond championship.
Speaker 9: That's how the Celtics were supposed to play, because as
Speaker 9: bad as they shot from three in Game six in
Speaker 9: Miami and found a way to win that ballgame on
Speaker 9: the defensive end, if they would have played like anywhere
Speaker 9: near that in Game seven, they would have beat Miami.
Speaker 1: More likely to have a sweep or seven game series
Speaker 1: in the finals.
Speaker 9: I don't think it's gonna be if it won't be
Speaker 9: a sweep, but it won't be a seven game series either.
Speaker 9: I can make a case for both teams because no
Speaker 9: wanted to talk about how good Denver and Jokic was.
Speaker 9: They're the most balanced, well rounded, well coached, and coach
Speaker 9: Malone the deeper team. But we also said that about Milwaukee.
Speaker 9: We also said that about Boston, And what did Miami do?
Speaker 9: They ran right through Well that ran because they did
Speaker 9: go seven games with Boston, but they were up three
Speaker 9: to zero and then got chased down and then had
Speaker 9: to win on the road in Game seven and have
Speaker 9: something special is brewing. The only reservation I have with
Speaker 9: Miami is will they have enough bodies?
Speaker 4: Again? I know Hero is targeting Game three or.
Speaker 9: Four, possibly, so you're gonna get a twenty point score back.
Speaker 9: But how effective will he be having been off six
Speaker 9: weeks or so? Do they have enough bodies? But the emergent,
Speaker 9: the emergence of came Martin throws kind of a wrinkle
Speaker 9: in this a little bit. How he has played, especially
Speaker 9: in the conference finals. That's why I think something special
Speaker 9: could be happening in South Florida. I really do. It's
Speaker 9: not like Denver has been. This is the worst trip
Speaker 9: to the NBA Finals for Denver. They're a little green.
Speaker 1: Are you calling it? Are you hinting? Or are you
Speaker 1: calling it?
Speaker 9: I'm calling it. I'm gonna go out and live here.
Speaker 9: If Jimmy Butler can play like he played in Game
Speaker 9: two and seven consistently, he doesn't always have to have
Speaker 9: huge games, but dictate and control the pace of the
Speaker 9: offense and how they perform defensively. Yes, Theodore, I'm gonna say,
Speaker 9: Miami and Miami.
Speaker 1: And six Okay?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 1: By the way, I saw where Jeff Bezos is renting
Speaker 1: a house in Malibu. Kenny G's is Kenny G? Does
Speaker 1: he live close to you?
Speaker 4: Come? Oh? Would you say about Jeff?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: They're just Yeah, does Kenny Jesus.
Speaker 4: We're all we're all in the same block here.
Speaker 1: So you live by Kenny g.
Speaker 4: Now, who was so small?
Speaker 6: We all live by one.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you the most famous person on your street?
Speaker 4: Yes, but within ear distance.
Speaker 9: I'm a nobody to a few people, but on this
Speaker 9: particular wall.
Speaker 1: Give me, give me one in the area. You don't
Speaker 1: have to give any address, but just in the area.
Speaker 1: Who's more famous than you?
Speaker 4: More famous?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Someone just bought a one hundred and twenty twenty million
Speaker 9: dollar homes right down the street. And all the single ladies,
Speaker 9: all the singles and who.
Speaker 1: Wait, I thought they bought a two hundred million dollar home.
Speaker 4: Oh was it? Twon?
Speaker 1: And I short change on my saying yes and they
Speaker 1: and they I apologize.
Speaker 4: I gotta give you your due, jay.
Speaker 1: Z, they're right down on the street, yes, Seaton, I
Speaker 1: have here.
Speaker 5: Just a couple of years ago, a Canadian billionaire bought
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty million dollar Malibu mansion and that
Speaker 5: had set all kinds of records. But I think that
Speaker 5: jay Z and Beyonce just broke that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so they're neighbors, they're side, they're almost side by side.
Speaker 4: Those two problems.
Speaker 1: But you don't go like trick or treating over there
Speaker 1: a sugar.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, jay Z is not letting you want No.
Speaker 9: He's no sugar home.
Speaker 1: What what Paul?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: The house jay Z and Beyonce bought in Malibu thirty
Speaker 2: thousand square feet rage uh price of two hundred million.
Speaker 2: That's a record from Malibu. One seventy seven was the record.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm gonna say it's thank you because property values. Yeah,
Speaker 9: my property values seens, so thank you.
Speaker 1: And then Jeff Bezo his renting Kenny G's property six
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a month lot. Yes, yes, it's good
Speaker 1: to be back in Malibu. You know what you should
Speaker 1: you should You should have rented it out. You could
Speaker 1: have rented out the crib and then you know, when
Speaker 1: the kids.
Speaker 4: Get older, maybe kids get older.
Speaker 3: Maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is Mark Jackson going? Does he have to apologize
Speaker 1: on the air to start out Game one for not
Speaker 1: voting for Joker in his top five?
Speaker 9: I think he's already done that because he had them
Speaker 9: in the Western Conference Finals versus the Wakers. I'm sure
Speaker 9: he heard it from the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 4: Faithful. I talked to Mark. He says, look, it was
Speaker 4: a mishap because.
Speaker 9: He was thinking about all NBA teams, because he was
Speaker 9: going to put Joel Embiid on the first team, because
Speaker 9: he was going to be his MVP.
Speaker 4: So he was filling out what he assumed to.
Speaker 9: Be the all NBA team, And that's why Joker was
Speaker 9: so low on his MVP voting pack.
Speaker 1: Do you think it bothers Joker is no.
Speaker 4: Not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1: To be a three pete as m v P would
Speaker 1: not matter to him.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it would have mattered to him.
Speaker 1: But i mean put him a couple of times.
Speaker 9: You're you're basing this conversation off what you saw in
Speaker 9: the postseason from MB because NB during the regular season.
Speaker 9: Don't you think he deserves the MVP or was in
Speaker 9: the running or no.
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's in the running, but he didn't deserve it.
Speaker 1: It's I think that he was.
Speaker 4: You're basing this.
Speaker 9: Light now knowing that Denver's in the finals and Joel
Speaker 9: Embiide is in the Bahamas right now, you're basing that
Speaker 9: a little bit off that.
Speaker 1: Well. No, I said it at the end of the
Speaker 1: year that it changed. When Kendrick Perkins talked about the
Speaker 1: makeup of the voters, and it changed because you know,
Speaker 1: the betting favorite was Joker. Joker was going to win
Speaker 1: the MVP, and then it changed with a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks left and Embiid played great that you know, the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, he played great. But Joker did
Speaker 1: anything to lose. He did not, Yes, he yeah, Denver
Speaker 1: didn't play break Yes, absolutely, I think it cost him
Speaker 1: the MVP. But I said, you know how this works.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's your turn, the media decides it's your turn,
Speaker 1: it's Karl Malone's turn, It's Charles Barkley's turn, right right, But.
Speaker 9: If you ask the Joker, the MVP that he really
Speaker 9: wants is still in front of him. That's the most
Speaker 9: important MVP. And if they play, and if he played
Speaker 9: like he did versus the Lakers, then he will have
Speaker 9: that third MVP. It just will become finals MVP, and
Speaker 9: that's the only MVP any of these players ever want.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not up on jay Z lyrics,
Speaker 1: but I know Lebron sent out a cryptic jay Z
Speaker 1: lyric about something about being number one, but what about
Speaker 1: when I'm not here anymore or something like that.
Speaker 4: I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: Okay, what is going on with Lebron.
Speaker 4: He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 9: Come on, he's oh two years one at forty seven
Speaker 9: and forty nine fifty.
Speaker 4: That was emotion talking right there.
Speaker 6: That was yeah.
Speaker 1: But that's what this just happened. That he put out
Speaker 1: some cryptic.
Speaker 9: It's not anywhere. He just wants some leverage to have.
Speaker 9: Rob Helnka tweaked that roster a little bit. Maybe I
Speaker 9: know Kyrie's being floated out there. I'm not sure that's
Speaker 9: the answer. But he wants control, still wants that control.
Speaker 1: Well, why would he lose control just because he got
Speaker 1: swept all of a sudden, they're going to go No, Lebron,
Speaker 1: you don't get to have any control here. He's still
Speaker 1: in charge.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, he's not going anywhere people, he's not walking away.
Speaker 1: From Have you been to Lebron towns? I have not
Speaker 1: not go to, nor nor have I ever been asked, Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: the biggest towns you've been to?
Speaker 4: What do you? Why are we getting into big houses?
Speaker 4: Who care?
Speaker 8: I do?
Speaker 4: It's just material, that's all. And you cannot take any
Speaker 4: of this to the grade I know. Who cares how
Speaker 4: big someone's house is.
Speaker 1: Give me the most impressive house you've been in.

Speaker 1: You can't be a bawler in Indiana. Come on, why not?

Speaker 1: In two thousand and two. And I look at these
Speaker 1: pitches that Aaron Judge hits out. If you said, hey,
Speaker 1: here's some batting practice pitches, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 1: I would never come close to challenging him. And you
Speaker 1: see some of these pitches that just hang in the
Speaker 1: strike zone and he doesn't miss him. Uh this day
