All of that. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.720 Coming up, we'll hear from Charles Barklay and his description 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.320 of Anthony Davis. You know, sometimes we take for granted 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.040 how hard it is at the highest level in the 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.920 NBA to be able to win and win consistently. You know, 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.000 we're seeing that with the Lakers right now. The Boston Celtics, 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.360 they were on a trajectory to win championships plural loaded 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.479 with young talent, high draft picks. They had a great coach, 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:10.039 Brad Stevens, you had Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown and draft 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.560 picks Eastern Conference finals three of the last four years, 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.720 but they took a major step backwards last night. Nets 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.480 knocked them out. No surprise that the Nets were going 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.160 to knock them out. They did get one win. But 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.480 they have an emerging star in Tatum, but Danny Ainge 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.680 has to bring in some talent here next year. The Celtics, 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.160 they had an opportunity to build on something special. And 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.039 the window of opportunity in all those sports closes rapidly, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.440 and we've seen that with Boston. You have the Nets. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.759 They're going to be loaded for the next couple of years. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:47.440 Here the window to greatness is still open, but there's 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.360 some real pressure to get back on track in a hurry. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.000 But you're dealing with a lot of pressures now in 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.040 the NBA. You know there's pressure on the Milwaukee Bucks. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.880 Can they get past the Nets? Can they get to 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:03.320 the Eastern Conference Finals? You know the Nets, this isn't 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.760 easy the Bucks. I like them as an underdog. You 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.920 start to see what's happening in Portland. You have an 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.600 unbelievable performance by Damian Lillard last night, all for not 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.639 he puts up fifty five and they lose, and then 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.600 you wonder what the offseason is going to be like 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.919 in Portland. Look at the Lakers on the brink here 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.519 down you know, three games to two, series goes back 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.120 to LA. We don't know if Anthony Davis is going 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.160 to be able to play. But last night the Nuggets 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.840 went up three two on the Blazers. The Sun's rolled 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:40.680 the Lakers. Here is Lebron James after last night's embarrassing loss. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.440 We got our ass kicks. I mean, it's just that simple. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.360 They did, got to whatever they wanted to get to 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.280 in his game, and you know, we gotta be better 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.120 obviously if we want to force a game seven. So 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.760 obviously a lot to learn from in his game, a 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.240 lots of cover. See. Uh, you know what we got 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.440 to do better going in to game six. But I 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.400 mean pretty much just kicked our ass. I mean, it's 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.679 nothing else really to say. No, the game was over 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.239 at halftime basically when the Suns were up thirty. Lebron 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.760 checks out with five minutes to go, and they lived 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.960 to see another game, but it might be the last 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.079 game of the season for them. You know, Dennis Shrewder 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:24.160 turned down that contract extension. Man, he did not score. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.320 He had the same number of points as I did. 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.600 Like that. That's hard to do. If you're a good 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.160 player in this league, you just start to look around. 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.240 And I don't want to hear that the roster is 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.560 bad now. Because when they acquired Dennis Shrewder and some 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.160 of these other players Marcus saw, people talked about how 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.920 great the lineup was. Andre Drummond. You know they got him. 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.640 Oh my gosh, that guy. He averages twenty rebounds a game. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:58.320 He's gonna be great. You got Harold from the Clippers. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:04.320 Oh well, you stole one from the Clippers. They got depth. Okay, Hey, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.000 I was front and center. I thought they improved. I 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.760 thought they were going to be a better team. This 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.280 year comes down to this. I mean, there's nothing magical 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:17.080 about it. It's Anthony Davis and Lebron play. Lakers usually win. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.839 If one of the two doesn't play, or one of 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:29.800 the two is seventy percent, then you're susceptible. Here. Charles 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.400 Barkley has a new nickname for Anthony Davis. Not a 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.360 good nickname, Antha Davis. I told you Delicas can't win 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:43.520 this series. Forget about the championship. They can't win this 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:51.400 series without street clothes. I'm not even you want to 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.440 explain that I'll call him after the street closed Davis 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.600 because he's always in street clothes. You ain't got to explaining, 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.680 Chuck got to explain it. I love that Draymond Green 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.000 is there and Draymond knows, Hey, I still gotta play. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.200 I gotta play this guy. I gotta guard this guy. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.000 I'm just gonna kind of snicker a little bit there. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:17.240 Play it again after the Davis. I told you Deliquas 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.240 can't win this this this series. Forget about the championship. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:28.520 They can't win this series without street clothes. I'm not 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.560 even you want to explain that I'll call him after 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.480 the street closed Davis because he's always in street clothes. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.760 Do you think gotta explaining? Chuck ain't got to explain it, Chuck, 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.400 you know that this came up before they went out 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.200 on the set. This is where they're probably talking, and 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.720 then Charles goes, you know, anthy Davis, I call him 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.039 street clothes. Oh man, you gotta use that. I don't 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.760 use it. And then you go out there and you 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:02.480 drop that on NBA World. I don't know if Anthony 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.040 Davis going to play in Game six, but he better. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.920 I don't know how healthy Chris Paul is. See, the 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.080 Sons are young, and they got confidence last year in 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.160 the bubble, they won all of their games eight no, 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.160 and they started this year with even more confidence because 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.640 they had Chris Paul. You have a very good coach. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.400 Booker's a wonderful player. DeAndre Ayden has held his own 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.480 and their bench really helped them, like their role players 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.719 really helped them last night. But you got the Lakers 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:40.640 on the brink. Now get them early, finish them off. 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.960 Don't let him get healthy, don't let him get rolling. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.000 Eight seven seven three d P Show email address DP 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.400 A Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.200 We'll talk to Reggie Miller about this. Does he think 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:56.280 it's over for the Lakers now? Maybe they get past 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.520 the Phoenix Suns, but maybe this is just a little 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.080 peak into the crystal ball that they're going to have 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.240 a really hard time trying to just keep everybody healthy. 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.080 Damian Lillard was wonderful last night. He's one of my 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:16.160 favorite players. But he puts up fifty five in a 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.760 loss to Denver. Here is Lillard after the game, But 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.960 after what you gave just personally, we lost the game. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.040 For me at this point, art that matters is we 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.320 can't lose another game in the series. So if we 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:29.840 go out there and we played a win a game, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.560 we came up short, so we're going back home. It's 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.120 a must win or our season is over. Then we 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.640 got to come back here and win on the floor game. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.960 So I mean, that's what it is. The fifty five 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.960 by Lillard last night with the third most by any 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:49.080 player in a postseason loss. Now, I thought Jerry West 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.760 would have been in here for putting up like forty 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.360 something in a loss to the Celtics. But my information 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:01.920 has Donovan Mitchell had fifty seven versus denvers season. Jordan 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.560 had sixty three against the Celtics in the Garden in 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.120 nineteen eighty six. But I thought Jerry West averaged forty 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.239 points in an NBA Finals when he was the MVP 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.960 when they lost. But I don't know if he ever 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.040 had one of those huge games, but he did average 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:25.560 I think forty points in a series. Wizards six ers tonight, Hawks, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:32.000 Nicks tonight, Grizzlies Jazz tonight, MAV's Clippers coming up tonight. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.719 We say good morning to our streaming partner Peacock, the 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:40.480 Fox Sports radio lineup, and iHeart Radio, Twitter handle a 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.360 DP show phone numbers eight seven seven three DP show 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.560 and email address DP at dan Patrick dot com. All right, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.040 mclubin what do you have for me today? By the way, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.640 Jerry West scored fifty three in a win in that series, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.880 I'm okay at that game and he scored. He scored 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.920 a lot in there, like forty two in a loss. Man, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.559 he was unbelievable. Halicheck put up huge point to that. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.760 So we kind of did this in the pre show meeting, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.640 and I'm curious if it works as a pole. Whose 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:10.880 career would you want? Damian Lillard or Anthony Davis? And 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.360 you can explain how we got to that comparison. All right, Paul, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.359 would you rather be Damian Lillard? Everyone thinks he's awesome, underrated, undercovered, 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.760 it needs more help. But he's not the problem. He's 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.840 considered just a fantastic player. Or Anthony Davis, who's considered 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:30.000 a great player but not an alpha not maybe a 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:35.720 little shows up here and there right now. Their images 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.360 are in two different directions. They're current images. I know 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.600 one's got a ring, yeah, and a ring in college 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.880 too at Kentucky. Who would you rather have on your 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.880 team if both were healthy. Yeah, it would really depend 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.920 on who else was on my team. Yeah, Like if 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.520 I'm starting my team. See, I still think Anthony Davis 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.559 can he can be a unicorn like he was the 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:08.400 Greek Freak before the Greek Freak. I just like I 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.440 want him to play. I just never know if he's 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.600 going to play, and when he does play, he can 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:19.200 play at an extremely high level. I know Damian Lillard's 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.920 going to be there for me, and I know that 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.600 he loves the big moment. He's not afraid. You saw 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.760 that last night. I just wonder if we're going to 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.920 look back on his career and say, man, it was 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.120 all wasted. He was wonderful player, great story coming out 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:40.319 of nowhere. But something's got a change in Portland here. Now. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.679 Maybe they go back home, they win this game, they 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.320 force a game seven, maybe they advanced. I had them 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:51.240 beating Denver because Denver doesn't have it starting backcourt. They 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:57.480 don't have one of their better players. And that's why 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:02.360 I thought Portland, there's no excuses here, but give give 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.440 credit to Denver with what they've done. Michael Porter Junior 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.240 Yokitch last night was trading baskets with Lillard. He at 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:15.360 thirty eight role players. So why we love the stars, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.360 But even when the stars are great, what happens with 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.000 your bench? What happens with your role players? I give 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.280 you go oh for nine from the floor and you're Lebron, 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.480 chances are you're probably not going to win, and you 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.480 don't have Anthony Davis. Like my second best player is 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:46.480 who Kuzman Caldwell, Pope, he got injured, no points. Lebron 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.400 can only do so much. Now if he stayed and played, 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.640 and then maybe he gets a triple double, and then 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:56.080 we'd go, oh, he had a triple double, it didn't matter. Well, 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.679 and now you go back six season on the line, 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.760 you got a son's team that's young, probably confident, maybe cocky, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.520 ready to go. That's dangerous, man, you're just playing with 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.000 fire scarecrow. Yeah, I'm mclovin. We were talking about before 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.160 the show up, what do the Blazers do, Like, who 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.240 can they bring in? Because I think Lillard's under contract 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.600 for a few more years there he's not going anywhere. Well, 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.640 you're gonna bring in a new coach that's gonna happen, 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.079 and then what kind of philosophy are you going to 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:34.720 have after that? You know what you know? You build 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:39.439 around Damian Lillard. Now do you keep CJ McCollum, Do 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.719 you like the supporting ket what do you bring in 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.360 that makes your team a little bit more threatening? And 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.160 right now, I don't know if Portland has answers. Yeah, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.719 Lillard does not seem like a force my way out 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.360 of here guy. Nothing in his career up to this 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.520 point would make you think that he would go rogue 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.240 and say I gotta get out of here. I'm gonna 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.440 I'm gonna complain my way out of here. Others do yeah, yea, yeah, 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.439 I mclub what else? By the way, Carmelo thirty minutes 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.640 last night, Uh okay, one more poably had a good question. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.880 Which is a worse nickname for Anthony Davis the brow 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:15.280 or street clothes? Yeah, I mean you can, you can 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:21.320 laser or shave the brow, but he's embraced the brow. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.520 He's not gonna be embracing street clothes. That that's a 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:31.959 trending story right now. Street clothes is the number one 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:38.160 trending story topic in America right now. It's not a 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.000 good thing. Not a good thing. Yes, okay, I have 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.000 two poles that are purely for clicks. All right, I'll 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:49.280 start with the Lebron pole. It's early and I shouldn't 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.920 even be doing this because the Lakers tilitaries. Who takes 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.400 over the mantle when Lebron is done? Who's the next 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.520 Lebron in the NBA? And I'll give you choices Luca Donte, 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.719 Diane Williamson, Jason Tatum, Janis Joki and Beide. And the 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.880 reason I'm asking this polar is because I fell in 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.360 love with Devin Booker last night. Maybe he's the next 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:13.000 super superstar. There's no Lebron? Is there? No Noah? Is 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.079 this to say? Are we watching the last year's of 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:20.000 the Bulls? Is the sport just solely about Lebron? Right now? Um? 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.520 I don't think it's solely about Lebron, but I do 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.520 think that, you know, the world kind of pivots when 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:32.160 he pivots. He's worldwide, and you know he's polarizing. I like, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.800 is there's somebody else in the NBA that you go? Boy? 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:39.720 I got a really visceral reaction to him, Like who 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:48.440 Kyrie Harden Steph? I mean, it's Lebron. It's more than 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:54.960 just basketball, it's everything. But as far as passing them, 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.320 let me wait, let me, let's let's just see what 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.480 the Lakers do here before all of a sudden we 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.560 go and we've moved on from Lebron and the Lakers. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.800 Let me let me just hold off here. What else 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.400 do you have? And then we'll take a wow. Okay, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.360 as long as we're in this, you know the clicks mode? 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.000 Where do you want to see Aaron Rodgers be traded 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.600 to again? A pre show meeting? And if I gave 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.160 you the choices, I looked up a list the most 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:22.800 likely destinations, the Raiders, the Broncos, the Philadelphia Eagles, or 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.720 the Carolina Panthers, which I don't know if they're still 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.920 possible in play. Is there any team that would be 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.160 so interesting that you'd want to see Aaron Rodgers in 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:35.680 that uniform? No, I want to see him on Green Bay. 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.600 But if he leaves green Bay, then green Bay is 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.040 interesting still because they just lost Aaron Rodgers and the 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.160 new team is interesting, so you're adding another interesting team. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.920 He has to look at the Rams and go, God, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.000 why didn't I get there before? Matthew Stafford and he 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.360 has to look at the Niners to say, why didn't 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.440 the Packers trade me? Why didn't they trade me? Keep 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.560 those picks? Send Garoppolo here, and then I could be 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:08.600 their quarterback instead of drafting Trey Lance. Right, you would 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.560 give up less for Aaron Rodgers than it took to 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.320 move up to get Trey Lance. Yeah. Boys, my efforts 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.640 to sell Todd and Seaton on the Broncos this morning futile. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:23.120 The Broncos. Maybe that's it, that's they're the team. No, No, 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.120 you're not even the best team in your own division. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.840 You're not even the second best team in your own division. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:32.800 You might be the third. Maybe maybe you're the best 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.520 football team in Colorado. All right, Yeah, the Charges have 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.680 more talent, but the Charges will find the banana peel 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.320 and drop it anyway though, all right, let me take 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.720 a break.

Reggie Millner the whole of famer on the 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.119 call tonight at the Garden with Marv Albert. Game five 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:28.400 Hawks and the Knicks at seven thirty Eastern and could 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.359 potentially be Marv's last game ever at Madison Square Garden 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.000 with that wonderful career of his. We'll talk about that 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.520 matchup coming up. But we welcome in Redge and we 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:43.000 start with the Lakers. Well, how would you sum up 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:47.320 the position that they're in right now? Redge? First of all, 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:51.960 the Lakers treated that Game five like it was a 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:58.240 preseason game, and that's sad. I'm disappointed that the Lakers 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.680 the raining champ. I know they're down an All Star, 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:07.040 I know they're down a top ten player, But other 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.600 than the first five to seven minutes when they showed 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.480 a little bit of life, they treated that like it 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:17.320 was a preseason game. And obviously you just can't give 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.120 playoff games away, and they absolutely just gave a game away. 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.359 I give credit to Phoenix. They probably played their best 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.280 game of the series, shooting the ball wise from everyone, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.680 but you just can't give games away. And look, they're 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.439 facing a big hole. Can they come back and win 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:40.400 this series, Absolutely, but they've got to take it. They've 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.240 got to get a sense of urgency. I didn't see 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.840 any sense of urgency whatsoever in the Lakers last night. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.800 But how did they get to a point where they 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.440 treat it like it's a preseason game, like just this, Hey, 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.879 we're gonna give you this win. We want to go 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.359 back home and hopefully we get Anthony Davis. I mean, 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:01.439 is that how they viewed this game? I think that's 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.239 exactly how they viewed it. We have reinforcements coming back 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.640 knock out Wood. But people need to understand there's two 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.760 things that are very difficult to play within the game 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.760 of basketball. Are growing injury very difficult because that's your 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.800 lateral movement, and back injuries because you know everything is done, 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:24.040 your back control is just about everything. And I'm sure 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.600 it was very difficult decision for eighty not to play 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:33.160 last night, but the Lakers played like, Okay, we'll give 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:38.640 you guys this game, we'll get a what ad back 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.800 went at home, and then we'll take our chances here 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.600 in game seven where we want in this place. In 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.800 game two, they're putting all their eggs in one basket, 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:51.560 assuming that they can win two games in a row, 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.960 and they are messing with fire because Chris Paul is hungry. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.159 He wants to beat his good friend Lebron James Devin Booker. 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.040 This is his first time in the playoffs, and he 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:05.359 wants to show the world why he's one of the 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.520 best shooting guards on the planet. And this young team 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.840 is getting confidence along the way, and that's why you're 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.359 messing with fire because they've gained their confidence, which was 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.960 kind of snatched from them early on with the Chris 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.600 Paull injury and the way Devin Booker, he hadn't played 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:26.160 particularly great in this series, had a monster game won 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.280 and played great last night. But they have confidence now 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.240 and they feel that they're the better team. Even though 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.159 they're the number two seed, they feel that they're the 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.800 better team now. Lakers are in real trouble. What do 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:40.720 you make of Charles Barkley's nickname for Anthony Davis which 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.600 I didn't hear what it was, Seaton, Will you play 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.840 it for reg Antha Davis? I told you the Lakers 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:53.080 can't win this series. Forget about the championship. They can't 0:21:53.119 --> 0:22:04.840 win this series without street clothes. I'm not even I 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:09.960 will say this, it takes a lot not to play 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.639 the game of basketball, especially in the playoffs. And I 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.960 missed I think in my career and Seed, you can 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.160 go back and look at this. I missed four playoff games. 0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.080 And I believe it was in ninety six, a week 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.960 before the playoffs were to begin. Otis Thorpe broke my 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.120 orbital fracture. I broke my boat in my He gave 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.000 me a good fist to the eye going for a 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.240 loose ball and I was out. And in that first 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:40.160 round matchup it was US versus Atlanta, and I think 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:44.800 I was ten days out from the surgery, still seeing 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:49.840 double vision, and I wanted to play, but there was 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.400 no way. I just knew, But I say I kept, 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.760 I keep telling people that me at seventy eight is 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:58.840 better than a lot of people at one hundred percent. 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:02.840 And again, I know, growing injuries are very difficult to 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:07.840 play through, but sometimes just your mere presence can uplift 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:12.480 your teammates. And I mean, Ad is right, And he 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.879 said this after Game one when he played terrible and 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.879 had those thirteen or fifteen points. We're not going to 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.320 win a game, let alone a series if I continue 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:23.720 to play like that. So again, all the eggs are 0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.000 in one basket for the Lakers, they're hoping a d 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:31.600 comes back at eighty percent seventy percent and they could 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.080 win two games in a row. But I like the 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.879 nickname street clothes. I probably with can get right. But 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:44.679 we'll find out. How about day did Davis Anthony Dad Davis? 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:49.119 Not bad? Not bad? Yeah? I know everyone wants to 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:53.200 throw shots again, growing injuries are very difficult. If he 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:58.760 could play, he could play. It's just we've seen this 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:01.600 from a d I know he's a champion, but any 0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:04.560 little bump, he goes down, and you've got to learn 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.600 how to play and manage with injuries. That's just a 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:09.680 part of the game. Everyone at this point in time 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:14.760 of the season, something's ailing on them. So do you 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.320 have any problem with Lebron checking out with five minutes 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.520 to go go into the locker room? No? But what 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:24.679 they're down thirty five? Yeah, they're gonna make a miraculous comeback, 0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:31.320
