Speaker 2: Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank you downloading
Speaker 2: the app. And we say good morning to our radio
Speaker 2: affiliates over four hundred cities that carry this program. It's
Speaker 2: Draft week and still some questions. Mel Kiper will join
Speaker 2: us next hour. We'll try to answer some of those questions.
Speaker 2: And I still go back to the and I've been
Speaker 2: covering drafts for over thirty five years now Best available
Speaker 2: you hear that a lot, but then you're going to
Speaker 2: get a team at the top of the draft. Tennessee
Speaker 2: Best Available is that cam Ward or is it the
Speaker 2: best available quarterback? Because if I said to you, Abdul
Speaker 2: Carter and Travis Hunter are going to be Hall of famers,
Speaker 2: let's just say, let's just have fun with this. But
Speaker 2: to understand the philosophy of NFL gms, now they're going
Speaker 2: to be a Hall of famer. You can take a
Speaker 2: guy who will be a Hall of famer, or you
Speaker 2: can take a guy who's the best quarterback in the draft,
Speaker 2: but you're not sure if he's the guy, if he's
Speaker 2: going to be a franchise quarterback. He played for three
Speaker 2: different colleges and now you're going to get him. And yes,
Speaker 2: he's got athleticism, he's got what you want. But he
Speaker 2: would probably have been the fifth or sixth quarterback taken
Speaker 2: last year. But you're going to at the top of
Speaker 2: the draft, knowing you got to get better, you're going
Speaker 2: to take him. That's what I don't understand. Like Miles Garrett,
Speaker 2: Browns took him at number one, he's going to be
Speaker 2: a Hall of famer. I don't know if Abdull Carter
Speaker 2: is Miles Garrett, but boy he's different. And look at
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. By all accounts, he's going to be a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame type talent, but you're going to draft
Speaker 2: a quarterback number one overall, and even the Giants at three, Hey,
Speaker 2: we need a quarterback. Okay? Is he the right quarterback
Speaker 2: for you? And you're there at three? You took two
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson. But then you
Speaker 2: hear this, Well, you know the Giants like him, but
Speaker 2: they might trade back into the first round. Okay, if
Speaker 2: you like your quarterback, take your quarterback. Because you're now
Speaker 2: you're going to run the risk of is he going
Speaker 2: to be there? And if you're going to trade up
Speaker 2: to get Daniel Jones and look what happened there. But
Speaker 2: if you want your guy, get your guy. You're at three.
Speaker 2: You're at three for a reason because you're not any good.
Speaker 2: Does that guy make you better next year? And he doesn't?
Speaker 2: Will he make you better in year three? Boy? You
Speaker 2: better hope or year two you better hope because you
Speaker 2: don't want to be in these situations again. How do
Speaker 2: I avoid being in this situation again? How about I
Speaker 2: get some guys who are going to make us better
Speaker 2: right away. I don't know if cam Ward is that,
Speaker 2: I don't know. If he's that guy. I know that
Speaker 2: he's got intangibles and everybody loves what they see, and
Speaker 2: he's got athleticism and a great art. I understand all
Speaker 2: of that. The draft is littered with guys like that,
Speaker 2: Are you getting the right guy? And is he the
Speaker 2: right guy for your team? Right now? Wasn't Will Levis
Speaker 2: your guy? That's how quickly it ends. It could be
Speaker 2: one year. I mean the Colts, they might be moving
Speaker 2: on from Anthony Richardson. I don't even think he's twenty two.
Speaker 2: Josh Rosen one and done. Jobs are at stake. Giants
Speaker 2: coaching staff has to win. They have to win that
Speaker 2: might be first half of the year. They have to
Speaker 2: win above five hundred record in a division that's got,
Speaker 2: you know, three other good teams, one great team, one
Speaker 2: very good team, and one team that could be good.
Speaker 2: They gotta win. So you factor that into the draft.
Speaker 2: That what makes it really interesting here. And you don't
Speaker 2: have the marquee tallant in the draft. You know you'll
Speaker 2: have guys that five years from now, ten years from now,
Speaker 2: you go, oh, he was in that draft. But Travis
Speaker 2: Hunter feels like you can't miss. Wouldn't you want the guy?
Speaker 2: Who can't miss over the guy who might miss. What's
Speaker 2: the poll question, Todd?
Speaker 3: Okay, the pole question has to do with the Thunder
Speaker 3: and how far they're going to go. We've got I
Speaker 3: think the Thunder will win the NBA title? Sure as
Speaker 3: a twenty five percent too early? Seventy five?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's a you know, it's an
Speaker 2: easy cop out for people. Just do you think they're
Speaker 2: going to the finals? Yes?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 2: You know? Are you sure? How sure? Not sure? So
Speaker 2: I would change that? What else do we have? Poll
Speaker 2: question wise?
Speaker 3: We also have Foegne conclusion the Celtics will represent the
Speaker 3: East in the NBA finals. True dat?
Speaker 2: Slow your role?
Speaker 5: In another one we just added recently.
Speaker 2: You wrote that, thank you. Yeah, I see the Celtics
Speaker 2: in the finals. So your true dad? I am true dad,
Speaker 2: not slowly your role. No, no, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: slow my role.
Speaker 5: True dat dat true dad? Excuse me, Frizzy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will try to help you get hipper mar Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try.
Speaker 5: When you say I mean Dug Club, I'm like Doug Club,
Speaker 5: not the club.
Speaker 2: No no, no, Doug Club, not not the one that
Speaker 2: I go to. It's Doug Club. Is there a club
Speaker 2: called the Duck Club?
Speaker 5: One?
Speaker 6: Oh, you can find me in Duck Club, Doug Club,
Speaker 6: bottle blub, Yes, I.
Speaker 7: Go to the club with two e's. That's quiet. It
Speaker 7: isn't my club the Club.
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three DP show email and SDP at
Speaker 2: Dan patrick dot Com Twitter handle the DP Show. We
Speaker 2: recap the basketball over the weekend, but we'll do it
Speaker 2: again with a little more detail with Chris Haynes, Senior
Speaker 2: NBA Insider, Best and worst of the weekend, What you
Speaker 2: saw that you liked, you didn't like, and then Milk
Speaker 2: Kuiper Draft Expert a little bit later on. I talked
Speaker 2: about playoff experience and it's real and you're seeing some
Speaker 2: of these teams. Houston gets beat by Golden State. The
Speaker 2: Rockets have they're starting five, has it combined seventy four
Speaker 2: games of playoff experience. Draymond Green has one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty seven, Steph has one forty seven, and Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: has one nineteen playoff point Steph Curry has just under
Speaker 2: four thousand. The Rockets entire roster has just over twenty
Speaker 2: three hundred points.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America.
Speaker 2: This is why the Warriors are favored and the Rockets
Speaker 2: are the number two seed. It's because of playoff experience.
Speaker 2: You have teams built for the regular season. We're gonna
Speaker 2: find out if the Rockets are built for the postseason.
Speaker 2: Just like OKAC last year. People still had their doubts here.
Speaker 2: You know, they had their doubts on Minnesota last year
Speaker 2: because we look at you know how young these teams are,
Speaker 2: and a lot of these teams, I mean, Oklahoma City
Speaker 2: starting five is probably twenty three to twenty four average age,
Speaker 2: and you're asking them to go out there on a
Speaker 2: big stage. And in some cases you're facing really experienced teams,
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame coaches, and that does factor in. All Right,
Speaker 2: we'll get phone calls, yampauling.
Speaker 7: I have a quick NBA quiz based off what you
Speaker 7: just said.
Speaker 2: Can you guess?
Speaker 7: Can anyone guess the youngest team to ever win an
Speaker 7: NBA championship average age of their roster. I'll give you
Speaker 7: a hint. It was in the seventies, youngest team to
Speaker 7: NBA and win an NBA in modern day. The youngest
Speaker 7: team modern day, I'm gonna give you just the eighth
Speaker 7: all time would be the fourteen to fifteen Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 7: The roster averaged just over twenty six years. This team
Speaker 7: in the seventies was just over twenty four years old.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, forman.
Speaker 5: The seventy seven Blazers.
Speaker 7: Who else would like to guess that's a hint that
Speaker 7: Marvel was right? The seventy seven Blas youngest team ever
Speaker 7: to win a title.
Speaker 2: Okay, eyah, Well, you had Walton was three years out
Speaker 2: of UCLA. Maurice Lucas was the tricky part of how
Speaker 2: old Mo was. But you had Lionel'hollins who was around
Speaker 2: Bill's age. You had Johnny Davis out of Dayton. You
Speaker 2: loved that squad, Yes, I do. You had Larry Steele,
Speaker 2: you had Bobby Gross and you had doctor Jack Ramsey.
Speaker 2: That was good. That was good. Dave towards Zick was
Speaker 2: on that team too, Dave towards Zick. A lot of
Speaker 2: consonances name, David's not a lot of vowels in that name,
Speaker 2: Dave towards Zick.
Speaker 7: Yes, whilst we're playing, would you like to play the
Speaker 7: oldest team to ever win an NBA championship? This team,
Speaker 7: the average age of the roster was thirty two.
Speaker 2: Dang the seventy six ers.
Speaker 7: No, I'll give you a hint to the nineties team,
Speaker 7: which should eliminate a lot.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you have to factor in the bulls. That's it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 7: Ninety seven ninety eight bulls.
Speaker 2: I was going to take my chance.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that hints out the little thirty two years
Speaker 7: old and ninety seven ninety eight Scugga bulls. A couple
Speaker 7: of years ago, a while back, the twenty eleven Mavericks
Speaker 7: were thirty one years old average age.
Speaker 2: That was with Dirk Naviitsky. We're old now a tuba
Speaker 2: Uh the circu Remember remember when I was there shooting
Speaker 2: around in Dallas and he came in and he's like,
Speaker 2: the circus is in town.
Speaker 7: He was very upset.
Speaker 2: I know, like, what are you doing here? Well, Avery
Speaker 2: Johnson invited me there to shoot around, and I didn't
Speaker 2: know Dirk back then, but I every time he comes on,
Speaker 2: I get him grief. Every time those are because is
Speaker 2: in dun It's like, come on, media member talking hairdue,
Speaker 2: get out of here.
Speaker 7: Yes, you didn't see because you were shooting at the
Speaker 7: mass practice against Avery Johnson, Nick Van Exel and some
Speaker 7: of the other players and Mark Cuban. They're pumping it
Speaker 7: up and having a good time, and every time you
Speaker 7: two would go, another shot would go.
Speaker 2: The practice. He's very frustrated. Yeah, I was. I was
Speaker 2: shooting against Avery Johnson and we were playing horse and
Speaker 2: Avery could hit a fifteen footer he never missed, and
Speaker 2: I tried to take him out deeper, and uh he
Speaker 2: thought he put me away, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I make it and you hear Nick van Exel, He's like,
Speaker 2: oh God, like he couldn't believe. It's like back the
Speaker 2: bus up and I'll basically roll over me. And then
Speaker 2: Novitski would get so upset because, uh who Rolando Blackman.
Speaker 2: I was shooting against him. Now, Roe was a good shooter,
Speaker 2: but I dusted him off, and uh, his teammates were
Speaker 2: roughing him up. I'm like, anybody else want a piece
Speaker 2: of me? I had nothing to lose because these guys
Speaker 2: are all NBA players. But Roe Blackman was a really
Speaker 2: good shooter. And we played some game called Knockout. Wove
Speaker 2: Blop was in the Knockout game. I knocked him out
Speaker 2: to a blomp. Oh, come on, get out of the
Speaker 2: Year media. That's there because he's in town. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Uh Joe and Grand Rapids. Hi Joe, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 4: Good morning, Dan, first time, long time?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 4: What five seven semisoft soft?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 4: Uh? Just about my Detroit Piston's too bad they only
Speaker 4: lasted three quarters. Hopefully they'll put a four quarter game
Speaker 4: together tonight. I had a suggestion for the minuke bolt
Speaker 4: warm up pants. Hang them up from the raptors above
Speaker 4: the basketball court and maybe have a little ceremony doing so. Anyways, Dan,
Speaker 4: great talking to you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Joe. Well, I have Bulls warm up pants
Speaker 2: from the seventy six ers, but I don't want to
Speaker 2: hang them in the raptors because then that effects if
Speaker 2: you're shooting hoops, so I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: Still trying to figure out where you put minuke Bulls
Speaker 2: warm up pants. That old problem. Yeah, it's weird to
Speaker 2: say I'm running out of room in this man cave,
Speaker 2: but I'm kind of running out of room in this
Speaker 2: man cave. I need a bigger building. Oh no, I think, Yeah, the.
Speaker 5: Big german would love to hear that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, yeah, you know what. I may have
Speaker 2: to put some things in storage and refresh all of
Speaker 2: these rooms that I have here. I mean, I got
Speaker 2: there's great jerseys in here, you know, maybe some of
Speaker 2: Sandler's movie posters. Yeah, that's sacrilegious. Yeah, but I could
Speaker 2: have to. You know, I still have it in the building.
Speaker 2: I just have to put it, maybe not on display.
Speaker 2: Your filmography is that is true? And I'm waiting to
Speaker 2: see what the movie poster for Happy Gilmore Too looks like.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be in the poster, just saying.
Speaker 6: Yes, now, DP, you can't take those down. That's gonna
Speaker 6: hurt your chances of getting the in Memoriam when you
Speaker 6: die at the Oscars, that's gonna hurt.
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, And I want to get up there
Speaker 2: in Memoriam.
Speaker 5: Is that one picture of you as the cop and
Speaker 5: Chuck and Larry with the mustache?
Speaker 2: It doesn't I've got a mustache and a few of them.
Speaker 2: I have a mustache and Happy Gilmour too. Not to
Speaker 2: give away the plot, but Sandlers like Danny, you gotta
Speaker 2: wear a mustache she has, Paul.
Speaker 7: Do you think you need like a breakout role like JK.
Speaker 7: Simmons and Whiplash? He was kind of a character actor
Speaker 7: and then exploded in that.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen well, because I
Speaker 2: do drop hints to Will Ferrell. He just doesn't pick
Speaker 2: up the hints because I'm thinking there might be something there.
Speaker 2: He's got a movie with zac Efron, and I thought,
Speaker 2: if you want to have some eye candy me and
Speaker 2: zac Efron Hello, But he just doesn't. You know Bill Hayter,
Speaker 2: I reached out to him with the you know, the
Speaker 2: Great Show Barry on HBO. I thought I was going
Speaker 2: to be in. I said, look, I'll play a corpse.
Speaker 2: I don't care crickets. Didn't hear anything bad. So it's
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for Sandler, but I would love to see
Speaker 2: maybe another movie set. I'd like to expand my range
Speaker 2: a little bit. Maybe I have a love interest. Oh
Speaker 2: you've had one? Though I did. I did not. I
Speaker 2: didn't make out with her. I kissed her.
Speaker 5: So you're looking for a good makeout session.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sessh. We like to call it. Who was that was?
Speaker 2: Kobe mclendenny McLendon hypen Kobe, Okay, she was from the
Speaker 2: Goldberg Goldberg's Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, I can't I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was just a peck it it was only a kiss. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it started like this, It was only a kiss.
Speaker 2: All right, let me take a break. We're just getting
Speaker 2: started here. Great to be back from vacation, and uh,

Speaker 2: The Chimberwolves beat the Lakers Minnesota made a franchise playoff
Speaker 2: record twenty one to three pointers. So when JJ Reddick
Speaker 2: and Lebron say, hey, you know, we were surprised at
Speaker 2: the physicality of that, Well, okay, but what about the
Speaker 2: three pointers that you gave up twenty one. Let's doctor
Speaker 2: Chris Haynes, senior NBA insider and host of the Haynes
Speaker 2: Briefs show on YouTube. He is covering the Bucks and Pacers,
Speaker 2: and then he's going to go to the Rockets and
Speaker 2: the Warriors. Worst first round lost so far turned in
Speaker 2: by who.
Speaker 8: Hmm, Well, I mean, I think you definitely got I
Speaker 8: mean the worst. I think you say the worst by
Speaker 8: a point differential. You can say to Memphis Grizzlies. You know,
Speaker 8: the way they lost to Oklahoma City. But I think
Speaker 8: most people believe that Oklahoma City is going to get
Speaker 8: out of the first round relatively unscathed.
Speaker 5: But the team you just talked.
Speaker 8: About right now, the Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, even
Speaker 8: though that's not I understand the Lakers have the higher seed,
Speaker 8: but I think that's a pretty even match up. And
Speaker 8: I think when you look at the athleticism, you look
Speaker 8: at the dog of Anthony Edwards, and you just look
Speaker 8: how they went into La and took care of business
Speaker 8: in the threes. Those threes were opened up by driving
Speaker 8: penetration overhelping Anthony Edwards would be able to get to
Speaker 8: whatever he wanted to get to on the court. And
Speaker 8: it was setting up guys and guys found the rhythm
Speaker 8: and once they found it, they didn't let go of
Speaker 8: that rhythm.
Speaker 5: So the Lakers have some issues for sure.
Speaker 2: The Memphis loss like it was laughable, Like after a while,
Speaker 2: you're just going, I mean, does Memphis have any pride here?
Speaker 2: And I know we see teams turn it around, get
Speaker 2: blown out, and then they come back and they'll make
Speaker 2: it competitive, maybe win that game. But Oka C seems
Speaker 2: to have learned something from last year like that. It
Speaker 2: feels like they understand, you know, how to be a
Speaker 2: playoff team. I don't know if you have them going
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 8: Put me on the spot, DP, I haven't made a selection. Nobody,
Speaker 8: nobody has ever asked me yet for my prediction. I
Speaker 8: got them in.
Speaker 2: The Clint Waits you know, have started, Chris, you know
Speaker 2: how this works. You can't wait till you know.
Speaker 8: Well, usually DP. Usually that's how it works. Like if
Speaker 8: you don't get asked because now because now you get
Speaker 8: to see these games, go on to see a trend,
Speaker 8: and then somebody they might ask you in the semi
Speaker 8: finals round. Then I'll have a better gaze. Then I'll
Speaker 8: look much more smart, smarter, and brighter.
Speaker 2: Than give me your two favorites.
Speaker 8: To win the favorite two favorites, I would say, okay,
Speaker 8: see come out the West and Boston to come out
Speaker 8: the East.
Speaker 2: Okay, then give me your other two.
Speaker 8: Following them, the other two, I would have to go
Speaker 8: with God's tough.
Speaker 5: You know, I want to say Denver.
Speaker 8: I want to, but there's been so much the team
Speaker 8: is different, changing of a coach. I think that series
Speaker 8: with the Clippers is going to go seven games. I
Speaker 8: don't know who's coming out. I want to say Denver, DP.
Speaker 8: Don't hold me to that. Please, don't hold me to that.
Speaker 8: I want to say Denver.
Speaker 5: But in the.
Speaker 8: East, I understand Cleveland had the best record over there
Speaker 8: for the most part. Oh boy, there are about a
Speaker 8: few other teams that I can see making noise in
Speaker 8: the East. I think if New York gets on the run,
Speaker 8: they can do some things. I think if Damian Lillard
Speaker 8: gets back, I think the Bucks and Giannis can do
Speaker 8: some things. It's tougher in the East for me, DP,
Speaker 8: I will say. I will say between New York and Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: A team not in the playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks, the
Speaker 2: Tree Young situation. Yeah, you look at his numbers and
Speaker 2: you go, God, those are great numbers. But I don't
Speaker 2: know what kind of player he is. I mean, I
Speaker 2: can watch him play, but it just seems like he's
Speaker 2: going to put up really good numbers for a team
Speaker 2: that nobody really cares about. And I wonder does he
Speaker 2: need to be on another team to show how good
Speaker 2: he can really be, how clutch he can be playing
Speaker 2: in big moments, And I don't know, like Dame Lillard,
Speaker 2: and maybe it's not a fair comparison, but we look
Speaker 2: at Dame and go, God, he's playing great and meaningless
Speaker 2: games for the most part, and then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden he gets traded and it's at the latter part
Speaker 2: of his career. I don't know if the Hawks are
Speaker 2: at that point where they yo, you know, maybe we're
Speaker 2: better off without Trey Young. What do you think?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 8: I had Trey on my show, The Hainsbury Show on YouTube.
Speaker 8: Everybody check it out. I had him on my show
Speaker 8: last week and I asked him about that DP, just
Speaker 8: about where he's at with the organization, with his career,
Speaker 8: and he said he's in a good spot. He said
Speaker 8: he knew that there was going to be speculation once
Speaker 8: the Hawks went to a younger core had the number
Speaker 8: one pick. He knew there was going to be speculation
Speaker 8: about his future, but he said he bought in. He
Speaker 8: took the you know, Zach number one pick. He brought
Speaker 8: him to his hometown in Oklahoma to show him around,
Speaker 8: to spend some time with him. Right after Zach was drafted,
Speaker 8: just to get him engaged. And so he's somebody who
Speaker 8: again just just told to me about a week and
Speaker 8: a week and a half ago that he's down with
Speaker 8: the process. He wants to see this alta Hawks squad
Speaker 8: turn the corner and he wants to be a pivotal partner.
Speaker 8: And then dp he changed his game this past season
Speaker 8: like he was more I think we know that trade
Speaker 8: is a great facilitator, but he modified his game like
Speaker 8: it wasn't just shoot first trade. You know, this was
Speaker 8: a guy who was getting guys involved, and so that
Speaker 8: that speaks to his maturity, and that speaks to you know,
Speaker 8: him trying to empower his teammates. But with that being said,
Speaker 8: there definitely are teams out there who are monitoring his
Speaker 8: situation and trying to see if there's going to become
Speaker 8: a point this all season where that he can be
Speaker 8: had and where he can't be moved, because he's definitely
Speaker 8: a guy who want Like Trey is one of the
Speaker 8: most competitive guys in this league. When he went to
Speaker 8: that conference finals a few years ago, played against the
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 5: He wanted he wanted to continue on.
Speaker 8: He wanted the organization to do things to make moves
Speaker 8: to keep the team on the trajectory. Now they took
Speaker 8: it a little backstep of the you know in recent years.
Speaker 8: He wants to get back to that point. But as
Speaker 8: of now, DP, I can say, I haven't heard anything
Speaker 8: on Trey side that will lead me to believe that
Speaker 8: he wants out right now.
Speaker 2: Will Yannis finish his career in Milwaukee?
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 8: I just you know, this is going to be a
Speaker 8: pivotal playoff this twenty twenty five playoffs for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 5: It's going to be pivotal, you know.
Speaker 8: Will if they don't get to the finals, win the finals,
Speaker 8: or even make a deep run, you can probably see
Speaker 8: some wholesale changes going on in Milwaukee from you know,
Speaker 8: you can go from coaching staff, from front office to
Speaker 8: the players. Like it can be a pretty big, significant
Speaker 8: wholesale if Milaukee Bucks don't make a significant run this postseason.
Speaker 2: Could you see them trading Joannis?
Speaker 8: I could see them going in a different direction, And yeah,
Speaker 8: I can see that possibility if things go sour this postseason,
Speaker 8: for sure.
Speaker 2: He's Chris Haynes, Senior NBA Insider, host of the Haynes
Speaker 2: Briefs show on YouTube. He's covering Bucks Pacers for Game
Speaker 2: two and then heading to the Rockets and the Warriors.
Speaker 2: You know, the Warriors winning the game against Houston and
Speaker 2: then we see that playoff experience that they have and
Speaker 2: Golden State, to me, is a fascinating situation because can
Speaker 2: you do this? Can you win four games? Can that group?
Speaker 2: You know, because that's what it takes every one of
Speaker 2: these series, you can say, are you able to win four?
Speaker 2: And I think they I think they could go to
Speaker 2: the Western Conference Finals. And I don't know if anybody
Speaker 2: would be surprised, but would you be more surprised if
Speaker 2: the Warriors went to the Western Conference Finals or the
Speaker 2: Lakers did.
Speaker 8: I would be more surprised if the Lakers went to
Speaker 8: the Western Conference Finals because the Golden State Wars, they
Speaker 8: still have their nucleus in place, and they've upgraded in
Speaker 8: Jimmy Butler, somebody who fits seamlessly in what they're trying
Speaker 8: to do on the offensive end and defensive end.
Speaker 5: The Lakers, we knew there was going to be some
Speaker 5: growing pains.
Speaker 8: You're talking about two Hall of Fame basketball players, but
Speaker 8: they have very similar ways of playing the game, and
Speaker 8: they both require the ball and it's worked better than
Speaker 8: what I thought. When I'm talking about Lebron James and
Speaker 8: Luca doctors. But we're talking about going to State. Man,
Speaker 8: they're just plugging in. You know, Jimmy Butler with somebody
Speaker 8: who could fit. And he saw what he did, clutch
Speaker 8: baskets after clutch baskets, making plays, and he's somebody that
Speaker 8: doesn't have to take a lot of shots to be efficient.
Speaker 8: And so I think, I I you know, I'm talking
Speaker 8: the Lakers and Warriors. I think the Warriors will have
Speaker 8: an easier path to get to the get to the
Speaker 8: finals than the Lakers.
Speaker 2: Best in basketball right now is who.
Speaker 5: Are we talking about in the playoffs or overall?
Speaker 2: Let's do playoffs?
Speaker 5: DP.
Speaker 8: You know what, DP, You're really good at what you
Speaker 8: do because you know this is this is why, this
Speaker 8: is why you get a lot out of Charles Barkley.
Speaker 8: You know, you know how to answer, you know how
Speaker 8: to ask the right questions. You never know what you're
Speaker 8: going to ask and it requires an answer.
Speaker 2: So let me say, now you were stalling with the compliment.
Speaker 2: I see right through you, Chris, Okay, I know how
Speaker 2: this works here.
Speaker 5: That's why you do.
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a better tandem not in the
Speaker 2: playoffs than in the playoffs?
Speaker 8: No, I can't say that, Okay, and I would get
Speaker 8: ridiculed for even saying there's a better tantent that's not
Speaker 8: in the playoffs, because if they were, they would be
Speaker 8: at the playoffs.
Speaker 2: You're stalling once again by saying regular season play homes.
Speaker 8: Okay, let's let's allow me to go. I don't want
Speaker 8: to disrespect the champions.
Speaker 5: Allow me to go. Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown? Is that safe?
Speaker 5: Is that safe? After DP?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But I don't want safe. Do you really feel
Speaker 2: that right now the best tandem in basketball is Tatum
Speaker 2: and Brown over Jimmy Steph, Luca Lebron.
Speaker 5: The best talent in basketball pound for pal is.
Speaker 2: No, we're not. We're just best tandem. Will you stop?
Speaker 2: You're better than this.
Speaker 5: DP? Lebron, Luca?
Speaker 2: Okay, See that's not that hard.
Speaker 5: It actually was.
Speaker 2: Which team did the best job of tanking for Cooper Flag?
Speaker 5: You know what it was?
Speaker 8: It was a lot of teams that had a really
Speaker 8: good job. You know, I'm going to go with the
Speaker 8: Utah Jazz. They let it be known pretty early on.
Speaker 8: They put out a They put out a release and
Speaker 8: just basically said, these seven guys aren't playing for the
Speaker 8: rest of the season.
Speaker 5: You know, it was these minor injuries.
Speaker 2: The NBA Awards season, you have to play at least
Speaker 2: sixty five games. I was wondering Jared Jackson Junior, I
Speaker 2: thought was gonna win the Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 2: He's not one of the finalists here.
Speaker 5: How many games did he plays?
Speaker 2: He played seventy four, but he's not one. So it
Speaker 2: wasn't even one of those where because he gets that
Speaker 2: super Max deal if he wins Defensive Player of the
Speaker 2: Year again. And I thought with Victor wen Been Yama out,
Speaker 2: then he was the favorite. He's not even one of
Speaker 2: the I got Dyce and Daniels, Draymond.
Speaker 5: Dra Well, d P.
Speaker 8: Draymond's had a phenomenal season. But you know, Dyson Daniels
Speaker 8: leads the league in steals. Evan Mobley, I would have
Speaker 8: you know. I felt like all along, Evan Mobley might
Speaker 8: have been the front runner to win that award award
Speaker 8: what he's done with Yeah, I do think I think
Speaker 8: so as well. I think he's the favorite. But Jared Jackson,
Speaker 8: you know, it was a tough. This was a tough
Speaker 8: one this year. And and DP, I'm telling you I
Speaker 8: don't have a vote this season, which I'm glad because DP.
Speaker 8: Around this time, you know, players that have those claws
Speaker 8: in their contract, they start to call me around the
Speaker 8: last two weeks of the season, Hey, you know my situation,
Speaker 8: who are you voting for it?
Speaker 5: And it just puts me in a tough spot.
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna name names, but I've had multiple players
Speaker 8: call me constantly over the path last you know, the
Speaker 8: lab but the last two weeks of the season, just
Speaker 8: to get a gauge, and I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, damn, man, that's that's tough about to be here.
Speaker 2: Anybody try to buy your vote, like saying, hey, Chris
Speaker 2: uh Man, I got these new Jordans and what changes
Speaker 2: do you wear? Or hey, you know once you go
Speaker 2: out go out to dinner, you know, maybe made me
Speaker 2: go to Cabo. I'll make sure you take care of you.
Speaker 8: They haven't said that, they haven't tried to buy it.
Speaker 8: But what they did do they do They do try
Speaker 8: to propose an appearance you know what hey, you know
Speaker 8: they the way they say it, like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 8: you have a nice show.
Speaker 5: I could think about coming home.
Speaker 2: If great to talk to you.
Speaker 5: DP any time. Man, you take care of brother.
Speaker 2: Best tandem in the NBA is who Luca?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure thank you Chris Chris Ayn,
Speaker 2: Senior NBA insider. And you can watch a show on YouTube,
Speaker 2: the Haynes Briefs Show. Hey, you got to rough them
Speaker 2: up a little bit there, give him a little of
Speaker 2: their own medicine. There, let me take a break. We
Speaker 2: will give you our best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: More of your phone calls and mel kiper Draft Expert
Speaker 2: next hour.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Wapp pay just sent me an auction item and it
Speaker 2: is a Jerry West game worn during the nineteen sixty
Speaker 2: nine to seventy season when he won the scoring title
Speaker 2: and it's up for auction. M what's the starting bid
Speaker 2: on Jerry West Jersey.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna guess the starting bid, but it's game used,
Speaker 7: it's photo matched. In the past, they've had trouble matching
Speaker 7: Jerry West jerseys to actual games he's been in there.
Speaker 7: This is an absolute lock. You know, he wore it
Speaker 7: in at least four games, if not more. The going
Speaker 7: rate for this one, the estimate is.
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty.
Speaker 7: Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It's very rare, as
Speaker 7: you can imagine.
Speaker 2: And somebody is going to get a nice gift. They're
Speaker 2: nice purchase there. Well, you should keep it for yourself.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't give it. Oh no, I won't be bidding
Speaker 2: on this now. I have something that you can't buy
Speaker 2: in that's memories of interviews with Jerry West. You can
Speaker 2: have a jersey. You could live vicariously through that jersey.
Speaker 2: I live vicariously through myself interviewing Jerry West. I don't
Speaker 2: need a jersey, but if someone like to get it
Speaker 2: for you, and then I would take the jersey. I
Speaker 2: would gladly take that jersey and I would wear it.
Speaker 2: But like out shoot and Jumpers, Yeah, the church, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe a wedding reception and a guard. Yes, Tom, Hey,
Speaker 2: it possibly wear that.
Speaker 5: I know you're a bike the siature. Someone spills their
Speaker 5: cranberry juice.
Speaker 2: On your you're the one that drinks cranberry.
Speaker 3: I would end up purposely spilling like three quarters of
Speaker 3: a million dollars.
Speaker 2: Now you got to stay Now, I would do that.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't wear it. I wouldn't. I might
Speaker 2: wear it one time and then that'd be it. Then
Speaker 2: I would close it up. Yeah, Pauling, I'm looking at
Speaker 2: the photo of it. It's just gorgeous.
Speaker 7: I mean it's got the stitching, the raised lettering the
Speaker 7: old days that shadow box Lakers look purple home love it.
Speaker 2: And I don't think they gave them that many jerseys
Speaker 2: back then, So I'm guessing that was his jersey. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, for half of the games that he played
Speaker 2: in that year, the home and away. All Right, how
Speaker 2: about we go around the room. Best and worst of
Speaker 2: the weekend, Todd, I'm gonna start with you.
Speaker 5: My best of the weekend was the Nuggets.
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook in Game one against the Clippers Saturday, clutch
Speaker 3: three point at the the regulation, scored ten points in
Speaker 3: the fourth and overtime in the winter La made a
Speaker 3: huge defensive play to clinch the victory. So I like
Speaker 3: how that played out for Russell Westbrook and the Nuggets.
Speaker 3: Worst of the weekend found this interesting Saturday. After initially
Speaker 3: announcing only the first twenty thousand fans in attendance would
Speaker 3: receive a Paul Skeen's bobblehead. The Pirates brass decided to
Speaker 3: give a voucher so that all in a tennis can
Speaker 3: receive one. So that started out very nice. But as
Speaker 3: the Pirates lost three nothing to the Guardians on Saturday,
Speaker 3: wasting a very strong outing from Paul Skeens, the sellout
Speaker 3: crowds started channing sell the team, loudly echoing throughout the
Speaker 3: Pirates ballpark.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a shame. It's a great city. They
Speaker 2: love their baseball, great ballpark, but they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: And they've got young talent. They're just not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: And if you're a fan, you hate to be sort
Speaker 2: of a pit stop, a truck stop. Hey, just dropping
Speaker 2: off some players. I'll be back to pick them up
Speaker 2: and take them to some o their team. I mean,
Speaker 2: Sens isn't going to end his career there, And you know,
Speaker 2: I get it, like how much do you support a
Speaker 2: team that is really a minor league team. For some
Speaker 2: other teams, you don't spend money. You're in the bottom,
Speaker 2: like bottom seven payroll. They haven't been to a NLCS
Speaker 2: since what ninety two. When's last time and they made
Speaker 2: the playoffs like over a decade ago, maybe twelve years ago,
Speaker 2: was twenty thirteen, Yeah, Paulin.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Pirates made the playoffs thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen.
Speaker 7: In the past thirty two years, they've made the playoffs
Speaker 7: those three times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is baseball. I mean, look at what's
Speaker 2: going on in Sacramento and they don't even have the
Speaker 2: camera angles. Aaron Judge hits a home run. The Tampa
Speaker 2: situation as well, the Sacramento situation. You know you got
Speaker 2: a home run, it's not a home run. Wait a minute.
Speaker 2: You know you're trying to get the right angle here.
Speaker 2: Aaron Boone gets tossed from the game. It's just this
Speaker 2: isn't as many great things as baseball has done. This
Speaker 2: is an embarrassment. It is You're going to be in
Speaker 2: Sacramento for another couple of years. It's major League baseball.
Speaker 2: It's not like the Kansas City Chiefs are playing their
Speaker 2: games at Southwest Missouri State. I mean, come on, what
Speaker 2: are we doing? Okay, Marvin Western Wurtz to the Weekend.
Speaker 6: Real quick bloop on you said pit stop we're talking
Speaker 6: about means.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, very good. Okay, all right.
Speaker 6: Our best of the weekend the New York Knicks going
Speaker 6: on a twenty one zero a run in the fourth
Speaker 6: quarter against the Pistons led by Cameron Pain. That was
Speaker 6: not on my Bengo card. Worse of the weekend the
Speaker 6: Baltimore Orioles. They're a major league team. They lost twenty
Speaker 6: four to two to the Cincinnati Raids. Embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Did the Bengals score twenty four points against the Ravens
Speaker 2: in a game this year? I'm curious since the red
Speaker 2: scored twenty four against the Orioles. Pauli Best and worst
Speaker 2: of the week.
Speaker 7: Staying with that, Yankees games you're talking about this week?
Speaker 7: Down at George M. Steinbrenner Field, the minor League Park,
Speaker 7: Yankees left handed ace Max Freed finished what appeared to
Speaker 7: be the seventh inning, hitless no hitter, but then play
Speaker 7: a couple of innings earlier, got changed from the sixth inning,
Speaker 7: and so he lost a no hitter while sitting on
Speaker 7: the bench.
Speaker 2: Okay, there has to be a window here where you go, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're going to go back and look at something. How
Speaker 2: about you get a half of been inning if you
Speaker 2: want to go back and change something. If you want
Speaker 2: to look bad, you want to look at replaying. But
Speaker 2: the ball was bobbled and then the umpire said, well
Speaker 2: they thought that maybe the runner was you know, would
Speaker 2: have beaten Goldschmidt to the base. Okay, if he doesn't
Speaker 2: bobble the ball, does the runner get to first base?
Speaker 2: He bobbled it. Therefore it brings into question of can
Speaker 2: he get to the bag before the runner. That's an
Speaker 2: error and then you wait two innings later. It's just
Speaker 2: not fair to all involve there. And I know that
Speaker 2: baseball changes a lot of hits to an error error
Speaker 2: to a hit. I understand that, but this is a
Speaker 2: no hitter. Can we get like, what else is a
Speaker 2: higher priority than this? I mean, I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Pauline, I still have that best of the weekend.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, And this is going to go back because
Speaker 7: it has to be mentioned. Rory McElroy at the Masters.
Speaker 7: That was beyond just Rory and a lot of people
Speaker 7: are rooting for him, and he had it, then he
Speaker 7: didn't have it. Then he had it, and he didn't
Speaker 7: have it, then he had it. CBS did a fantastic job. Whoever,
Speaker 7: the director and camera person are that followed Rory off
Speaker 7: the eighteenth green with his emotion, they should get a raise.
Speaker 7: Beautiful broadcast, beautiful day. One of the easily top ten
Speaker 7: sports viewing days of my life, and I think a
Speaker 7: lot of people would agree, just a beautiful day of
Speaker 7: watching sports.
Speaker 2: Well, it was emotional. It wasn't good golf, No, because
Speaker 2: they didn't. I mean, Rory was his own worst enemy.
Speaker 2: I was disappointed in Golf Channel because the four hours
Speaker 2: leading up to the final round was nine ninety percent Rory,
Speaker 2: five percent d Chambeau and five percent the rest of
Speaker 2: the field. It was just way too top heavy. And
Speaker 2: again yes Rory ended up winning. Nobody gave Justin Rose
Speaker 2: any chance going in the final round. It was to Shambo.
Speaker 2: I just think, you know, be fair to what could
Speaker 2: happen at Augusta. I didn't think Golf Channel did it
Speaker 2: great job with that way way way way too heavy
Speaker 2: with Rory, even though that was the story, great story.
Speaker 2: Mel kiper draft expert, will join us coming up final
Speaker 2: hour in this Monday. Right after this
