Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. The Lakers and Blazers currently tied at thirty
Speaker 1: nine and thirty. If the Lakers can get to six,
Speaker 1: guess who they play in the opening round as of
Speaker 1: right now, the Clippers. That could be spicy. I don't
Speaker 1: think you want that if you're the Lakers, but I
Speaker 1: don't think you have any choice right now. If you're
Speaker 1: the NBA, as long as you feel like you can
Speaker 1: still get the Lakers in the nets, then you would
Speaker 1: probably sacrifice that matchup of Lakers Clippers in the opening round.
Speaker 1: By the way, here are the number of regular season
Speaker 1: games the following NBA players have played in the last
Speaker 1: two seasons. Lebron has played in one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: out of one hundred and forty games. Anthony Davis has
Speaker 1: played ninety six out of one forty. Kevin Durant has
Speaker 1: played thirty two out of one forty one, Kyrie seventy
Speaker 1: two out of one forty one. James Harden has played
Speaker 1: one ten out of one thirty seven. That's what makes
Speaker 1: me wonder can they stay healthy for a month? They've
Speaker 1: you know, all these players have been bothered by some
Speaker 1: sort of injury, some serious, some just nagging injuries. What
Speaker 1: makes you think that Durant, Kyrie and Harden can stay
Speaker 1: healthy for a month. Lebron with that ankle can stay
Speaker 1: healthy for a month. Anthony Davis, same thing, Yeah, seedon
Speaker 1: something feels like most of those dudes, not all of them,
Speaker 1: but most of them are going to be shockingly healthy
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Well, I think I think they will.
Speaker 1: But look, all Lebron has to do is roll that
Speaker 1: ankle again, tweak it just a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: he's gone for a while. Yep. The hamstring is the
Speaker 1: same way. I look at the injuries here. Kyrie he
Speaker 1: has personal days when he checks out. Durant seems okay
Speaker 1: when he's out there. Anthony Davis, it feels like he
Speaker 1: has nagging injuries. Those are the kind that don't leave
Speaker 1: you whereas you go, hey, I'm completely healed from knee surgery.
Speaker 1: You almost get accustomed to. That's how I have to play.
Speaker 1: Lebron is going to have to manage a sprained ankle.
Speaker 1: I don't think it goes away completely. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's one hundred percent. I don't think James Harden's going
Speaker 1: to be one percent with the hamstring, but yeah, it
Speaker 1: feels like, hey, there's no reason to be rushing back.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be ready for the playoffs. Well, the
Speaker 1: dangerous part of that is the cohesion that you build
Speaker 1: up in that last two weeks, last three weeks of
Speaker 1: the regular season. So when you hit the playoffs, you
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. And you'll see this sometimes in
Speaker 1: different sports where a team that's already clinched and they're
Speaker 1: not playing meaningful games the last two weeks, they get
Speaker 1: to that first round and they get knocked off because
Speaker 1: that team that's scratching and clawing. You know, Golden State
Speaker 1: is a dangerous out. I think the Washington Wizards, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, are a dangerous out because every game
Speaker 1: is important to them. Nobody wants to face the heat.
Speaker 1: We we know how good they can be. That's a
Speaker 1: fifth seed team right now. Yeah. Pull And in the East,
Speaker 1: if the Brooklyn Nets could lose a couple more in
Speaker 1: a row, they could face the Knicks in round one.
Speaker 1: That would be fantastic first rouft. Yeah, and the East
Speaker 1: needs all the help I can get. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: The poll question has to do with the Lakers and
Speaker 1: the Nets. I'm going to give you Lakers, nets or
Speaker 1: everybody else to win the championship. McLevin update the result
Speaker 1: the field, Okay, I am surprised. If you would have
Speaker 1: said it was eighty two percent saying Lakers or the nets,
Speaker 1: I would have believed that. Gotta be the injuries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't know the severity of those injuries. Um.
Speaker 1: We talked about Medina's Spirit the horse, the Kentucky Derby
Speaker 1: winner Ish right now is going to be racing in
Speaker 1: the Preakness, and there's going to be a drug test
Speaker 1: that's taken or a blood test that's taken prior to
Speaker 1: the Preakness, unlike the Derby waited till after the Derby
Speaker 1: and taking their drug test eight seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at DP show. Talked a little bit about
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow with Jacksonville. He's such a polarizing athlete, Like
Speaker 1: they're athletes who are polarizing, but Lebron's polarizing because people
Speaker 1: don't want to let him in the conversation with Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's greatest player of all time? Or he had to
Speaker 1: go to other teams and he had to recruit players
Speaker 1: and Okay, Floyd Mayweather polarizing for a variety of reasons,
Speaker 1: Like there's certain athletes that are polarizing, but they're still
Speaker 1: great at what they do. Tim Tebow's polarizing because he's
Speaker 1: not great at what he does, not in baseball and
Speaker 1: probably not playing TI Then at age thirty three, here's
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, the Jags head coach, on the Chris Collinswood podcast,
Speaker 1: on the possibility of signing Tim Tebow. Yeah, we have
Speaker 1: not signed him. There's a thought going around. You know,
Speaker 1: he was in the best shape of his life. Asked
Speaker 1: to see if he can work out with a couple
Speaker 1: of our coaches. I wasn't even there, and they came
Speaker 1: back to me and said, wow, this guy's in an
Speaker 1: incredible shape. And I said, then I went another time
Speaker 1: and watched him, try him out and they said, go
Speaker 1: work on these things. He comes back later, they try
Speaker 1: him out again. I'm not there and they come in
Speaker 1: and they said, wow, you know this guy's ball skills.
Speaker 1: He's a great athlete. He looks like he's eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: not twenty whatever. He is thirty three. And I said, guys,
Speaker 1: you don't understand now this guy is you know, he's
Speaker 1: the most competitive maniac you ever gonna talk to, and
Speaker 1: let's give it a shot. And I have not decided
Speaker 1: if we're gonna do that or not yet. I'm getting close.
Speaker 1: I got to make a decision there pretty soon, all right.
Speaker 1: So if he makes the ninety man roster, here's a
Speaker 1: gimmicky Yeah, it sounds like that. Jacksonville's his hometown, he's
Speaker 1: good friends, he's a neighbor of Urban Myers. But but
Speaker 1: this is a third string tight end. It's not quarterback.
Speaker 1: But man, people get angry with Tim Tebow getting an
Speaker 1: opportunity and taking a roster spot. This sounds like something
Speaker 1: you would do if you're a college coach, where you'd go, Hey,
Speaker 1: a friend of mine and his son. Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let him make the team. He'll get the dress for
Speaker 1: home games. Won't play, but he gets the dress for
Speaker 1: the home games. Okay? Is that what they're doing with
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow? Is he going to play? Is he going
Speaker 1: to dress for home games? There have been multiple reports
Speaker 1: that he's signed a one year deal. Here's Urban Meyer saying, no,
Speaker 1: shouldn't Urban be there for one of the workouts because
Speaker 1: it feels like everybody has watched him tebow work out.
Speaker 1: But Urban is Urban just gonna take the advice of
Speaker 1: his coaches. And there's reports that not everybody's sold on this.
Speaker 1: Some of the coach this is not how you want
Speaker 1: to start. You want to the fewest distractions as possible. Now,
Speaker 1: if it works out, it's a wonderful story. But hard
Speaker 1: Knocks is gonna come in and they're gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: be be Tim tebow time for a different reason. It'll
Speaker 1: be camera time, not playing time. And you know they'll
Speaker 1: have the you know, the majestic voice there, Liev Schreiver.
Speaker 1: They'll have the music in their slow motion with Tim running.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's on slow motion, maybe it's just Tim running,
Speaker 1: but tebow time, as time run out on tebow time,
Speaker 1: have him catching passes. Trevor Lawrence. You an, I was
Speaker 1: lucky to see if he could sneak in his emergency quarterback.
Speaker 1: But the Jags have four quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence, Gardner, Minshew CJ.
Speaker 1: Bethard is there and Jake Lewton who played last year.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, so how many do you carry? Two? Three?
Speaker 1: So probably three, So he's not even need to have
Speaker 1: a chance of sneaking over to the verage. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's not allowed to even go. He has to keep
Speaker 1: walking past that room. But do you use him on
Speaker 1: a trick play? If he is on the team to
Speaker 1: try and then it's not a trick play, Like I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like when when Jameis Winston came in
Speaker 1: for a play and you know, everybody immediately wondered, well
Speaker 1: is this a trick play? He went at quarterback and
Speaker 1: then he threw a touchdown pass. I'm like, how did
Speaker 1: you not think that Jameis Winston was gonna be handling
Speaker 1: football there and not a runner, you know, Polly. By
Speaker 1: the way, you cannot give Tim Tebow number fifteen if
Speaker 1: he comes back to the league. You have to give
Speaker 1: him a number that suggests he's never ever going to
Speaker 1: play him out of a quarterback, he should be like
Speaker 1: one hundred and four should be his number. Put him
Speaker 1: at a tight end number eighty six, whatever. He's not fifteen.
Speaker 1: It suggests that he looks like a quarterbacks though that's
Speaker 1: his number. Yeah, that's his number. Can't give him that's
Speaker 1: his number, just saying that's his number. By the way.
Speaker 1: Spirited conversation with Mike Florio last down. We were talking
Speaker 1: about the schedule and a couple other things, and I
Speaker 1: guess on the undercard to Floyd Mayweather and one of
Speaker 1: the Paul brothers, and I guess it's Logan. Maybe you
Speaker 1: could add Adam Schefter and Mike Florio. Florio says, tail
Speaker 1: of the tape. I don't know who I'd have in
Speaker 1: that situation there. Florio is sneaky strong, but I don't
Speaker 1: know Adam Schefter, He's got a master's degree. I don't
Speaker 1: know what he helps in a fight. Maybe nobody wants
Speaker 1: a piece of Jay Glazer, I will say that, But yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: if we got to do like power rank is tough
Speaker 1: as NFL reporting cider. Yeah, like Clayton, no offense. No,
Speaker 1: he scares you with the ponytail. But yeah, Johnny good
Speaker 1: Times does not get into that. Jason King Flora, I've
Speaker 1: seen him angry. I just haven't seen him be physical
Speaker 1: when he's angry. Yes, Field Yates looks like he's well dressed.
Speaker 1: He can help you with your sailboat if you're having
Speaker 1: issues with your sailboat. I don't know if he's a fighter.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Ed Warder, on the other hand, Edwarder has
Speaker 1: more by the way. That's what he says. After he
Speaker 1: knocks you out. He's like, yeah, Warder has more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's more where that came from. Oh, send it back
Speaker 1: to you in the studio. Now, I got one. I
Speaker 1: got one sal Pal Oh, no, tonio. He's a man
Speaker 1: with a very specific set of skills. I would hunt
Speaker 1: you down, I will find you, and I will kill you. Yes,
Speaker 1: his notebooks have registered lethal weapon. Yes, salpoal sal poals
Speaker 1: the outlier. Wasn't he a Navy's seal? I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's a seal. I think he was. Okay, legend
Speaker 1: grows sounds better. Yes, he was a Navy seal. Mel
Speaker 1: Kiper not a fighter, not an insider though. Okay, But
Speaker 1: if mel Kiper and Todd McShay fought, Oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go McShay really yeah, Yeah, because I think McShee goes
Speaker 1: for the hair, and and then I think mel would
Speaker 1: would have a problem because he'd want his hair to
Speaker 1: look great. But I think that that's what's going to enrage.
Speaker 1: That's like bringing out the Hulk. You know. I'd like
Speaker 1: to see Glazier and sal Pound glaciers getting up there
Speaker 1: a little bit, but that might be good have that
Speaker 1: that would be more entertaining than watching Floyd Mayweather against
Speaker 1: Logan Paul. And I still think he should be he
Speaker 1: should fight both of the brothers. Yes, if he had
Speaker 1: an NBA in Tiro, would Woa have a wrestling move
Speaker 1: called a wog bomb where he comes jump off the
Speaker 1: d What about Shams? Yeah, yeah, what Sham's got a
Speaker 1: got back. And I don't know. I actually don't know
Speaker 1: how tough he is. How about Chris Mannix, No, he's
Speaker 1: definitely he's not a fighter. Chris Bruce. Oh, Chris Brussard
Speaker 1: is not an insider anymore, Zach Low. I think we
Speaker 1: could take him down, all right, Okay, I think we
Speaker 1: could set up maybe like a March madness, a may
Speaker 1: madness here with the insiders. Peter Schreger, nobody's ever wanted
Speaker 1: to fight. He's too nice a guy. Oh, he's friend zone.
Speaker 1: That guy's pure friends, his friend zone. He probably has
Speaker 1: a ton of girl friends that are girl friends, friends
Speaker 1: that are girls. Peter Schreger in the NFL network. Definitely
Speaker 1: in the friend zone. He's not wowing him with his
Speaker 1: mock draft Hahn. Hey, come on over, I'll reveal you
Speaker 1: want to see my mock draft that's there, and we
Speaker 1: like shregar. Oh yeah, if we like you, we we
Speaker 1: make fun of yes, yes, yes, yes, Uh. Today's National
Speaker 1: Limerick Day. And you know what that mean? Why you
Speaker 1: sent me? You sent me because at Daniel Fatally on
Speaker 1: Twitter reminded me that it's national Liric seat and I
Speaker 1: got the heads up about two hours ago as National
Speaker 1: Limerick Day. I put the entire building on lockdown to
Speaker 1: not tell Todd's all noon, I say, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: save America, okay, But after a while when he sends
Speaker 1: me the same limerick three or four times, is that
Speaker 1: a little passive aggressive? It's a little But Todd has
Speaker 1: a limerick I have to say with an Australian accident,
Speaker 1: just because then Ryan and Honolulu is gonna come in
Speaker 1: with his own set with a haymaker here and then
Speaker 1: like I I mentioned that rich Eisen has had some
Speaker 1: really good guest on his show and that face that,
Speaker 1: but am I not allowed to compliment? Say? This is
Speaker 1: like when Aaron Rodgers he's called the GM like Jerry Krause,
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh, well, now you're comparing yourself
Speaker 1: to Michael Jordan that you kind of did the same
Speaker 1: thing by giving Rich a compliment. You were taking a
Speaker 1: shot at Todd at the same time. But I didn't
Speaker 1: mention Rich's booker. Well, you didn't have to. You just
Speaker 1: talked about the great guests they're getting. That's clearly a
Speaker 1: shot at Todd. Nobody took that as a compliment for Rich,
Speaker 1: that was only a shot at Todd. There was an
Speaker 1: instant reaction on the other side of what. I truly
Speaker 1: meant that in a sincere way that Rich Eisen has
Speaker 1: had a couple of newsmakers on. That's it. I'll take
Speaker 1: in your word for that. I wasn't. That wasn't my
Speaker 1: reaction right away. But then what's the fun? Rowers to
Speaker 1: gated in and gave me a pause, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe that was a little but if
Speaker 1: but if it hurts you a little bit, then I'm
Speaker 1: okay with there you go. Yeah, two two birds with
Speaker 1: one stone. I complimented Eisen, and I hurt you that.
Speaker 1: Yes on behalf of America. Today is National Limerick Day.
Speaker 1: Then Todd could do a limerick today, another one next year. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, here's Todd, Fritz. It's National Limerick Day. What's
Speaker 1: the topic here. Um, this is a mix of Tim
Speaker 1: Tebow and Medina spirit. I took the two of those
Speaker 1: and I just threw together with limericks for natural limits.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you a Gator reunion around the Bend
Speaker 1: for urban Tebow playing tight end. Who cares? We still
Speaker 1: have a weakness to talk about the preakness, Medina spirits
Speaker 1: fungus Now on the men, okay, serviceable? Yeah, like I'm
Speaker 1: plating down the house to anything. No, I was gonna
Speaker 1: scream for more limericks please. I like your limericks better
Speaker 1: than I do your sports names and your monk head.
Speaker 1: What do you like less than those two things? Um, well,
Speaker 1: I've had eye surgery, I've had a replacement knee. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Those are probably extremely mean things to say, but but
Speaker 1: I think you your your limitrics are good. Like I
Speaker 1: think they're good. I appreciate that. I like writing them.
Speaker 1: I like shagging them with you guys, even if I'm
Speaker 1: going to take some level of abuse for it. But
Speaker 1: I'm willing to do that. Rich Eisen had some limericks
Speaker 1: yesterday and they were crazy. He's got great limericks and
Speaker 1: coos and sonnets. I hear, yes, they do. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: he knows what anamanapia means. He does un like myself.
Speaker 1: You know, yes, mcle I mean the joke used to
Speaker 1: be would compare him to the greatest book of all time,
Speaker 1: Scott Shapiro, But like it's gotten to the point where
Speaker 1: there's really no reason to compare it Todd, Like Scott's
Speaker 1: elevated out of this argument, so like we need someone else.
Speaker 1: In fact, you win the Scotch Shapiro Award for Booking, Yes,
Speaker 1: and he booked for Mike and Mike in the Morning
Speaker 1: on ESPN. Ever, forget, it's like comparing like a common
Speaker 1: All Star of Michael Jordan's, so it doesn't count, like
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton of the Bucks and then Michael Jordan right right,
Speaker 1: Todd's Chris Middleton with Okay, yeah, all Star. That sounds
Speaker 1: about right, get your game on, go play after the
Speaker 1: drawing board for me. But the Scott Shapiro Award for Booking,
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna go to Rich Eisen's booker. I should yeah, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: to be fair to Todd, it's not you know, who
Speaker 1: does he have on the on the schedule for the
Speaker 1: next couple of days, Oh dear, no, I'm just being fair. No,
Speaker 1: I really don't know. I can't do this to him.
Speaker 1: Why are you laughing? I'm just asking because I have
Speaker 1: to deal with him. So when the show ends, Paulie
Speaker 1: and you leave you overall like no, no today today,
Speaker 1: like you get in your land cruiser, and then I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here with Todd going why why why? Why? Todd's
Speaker 1: just firing off idea after idea, after you get thirty
Speaker 1: seven of them today? What are we thinking about this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I got a guest. You know this is proposed to me.
Speaker 1: What do you think about? Yes, I'm I feel like
Speaker 1: a better of steak silent at this moment. I don't
Speaker 1: have a good comeback for that, I thought, do I
Speaker 1: mean it? Time's coming on tomorrow? Who's times? Very well
Speaker 1: off the season announcement of the schedule. I think that's
Speaker 1: a nice appropriate guest with tomorrow. Outside of that, Tod
Speaker 1: no idea? What's God? It's okay. I'm fine everyting I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm fine now, And like, wait till six o'clock today, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: wait till like seven thirty tomorrow morning. God, what are
Speaker 1: you gone? Why are you so quiet? Yeah? Contribute something
Speaker 1: for crying outright? Let me take a break. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: talk some hoops with Channing Fry. Uh get his thoughts? Yeah? Great?
Speaker 1: Get there, Ton, Yeah, Channing Fry, Turner sports NBAM. That's cool.
Speaker 1: That's not cool. No, I like Channing Fry. Why is
Speaker 1: it that I can never joke with you? Like I
Speaker 1: can't have fun with you? Rumor has it I'm a
Speaker 1: slightly sensitive at times. How many years have we been
Speaker 1: working to? Nineteen? And they're on June second, will be nineteen?
Speaker 1: I forgot I remember these things that matters to me.
Speaker 1: It's like a block it out. I block it out,
Speaker 1: but I can't for somebody who is a stand up
Speaker 1: well has been a stand up comedian, I can That
Speaker 1: was just another show you you don't even realize what's
Speaker 1: coming down. Made an effort to try to be something
Speaker 1: that you're not, but you gave it a standing. I
Speaker 1: was standing of comedy place, but there was no comedy
Speaker 1: coming out. Okay, are you as stand up comedian? I've
Speaker 1: been told and I like to believe that, But like
Speaker 1: if once you do it once and you're on stage
Speaker 1: inside of comedy club and people have paid a couple
Speaker 1: of drinks, ginger rails with it, if you're a fireman
Speaker 1: and the building's out fire and your hose isn't hooked
Speaker 1: up to the water. You're just standing there with a
Speaker 1: thing in your hand. That's a valid point, but you
Speaker 1: still hopefully look decent in your fires. How about we
Speaker 1: take a break here, let's kind of regather here a

Speaker 1: the Peacock app. Channing Fry Turner's sports NBA analyst. He
Speaker 1: won an NBA title twenty sixteen with the Cavs over
Speaker 1: Golden State and Channing kind enough to join us. All Right,
Speaker 1: so we know the best team you played on. What's
Speaker 1: the worst team you played on? Oh, that's a great question.
Speaker 1: Maybe my rookie year the two thousand and five Nicks.
Speaker 1: We had the highest salary in the NBA, and I
Speaker 1: think we won twenty three games a year with Larry Brown,
Speaker 1: was I mean a dumpster fire. It was hilarious. What's
Speaker 1: it like showing up knowing you're gonna lose? Oh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't that we were just gonna lose, because I've been
Speaker 1: on teams that were just too young that we didn't
Speaker 1: get it. But it was still fun. But it was
Speaker 1: just like Larry. We had the most starting lineups in
Speaker 1: the history of the NBA, and so you didn't know
Speaker 1: if you were gonna start or not until forty minutes
Speaker 1: on the clock. So he would tell the starting lineup
Speaker 1: and the vets. I didn't get it at that time,
Speaker 1: and now I probably do what they did. It's like
Speaker 1: just blow up. They would literally he would write down
Speaker 1: who's gonna start without telling anybody all day long. It was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty amazing now that I'm retired and now
Speaker 1: I'm not an NBA anymore. But you have these fan bases.
Speaker 1: You had that with the Knicks, but you're also with
Speaker 1: the Lakers prior to Lebron getting there. Yeah, those fan
Speaker 1: bases when they turn on you like, oh it's not fun.
Speaker 1: Not one was tougher though the Knicks are the Lakers. Oh,
Speaker 1: the Knicks not even close. The next fan base is
Speaker 1: the toughest. I was getting booed at an Applebee's. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm just here for then endless ribblin basket. I'm getting
Speaker 1: boot out, damn man. And I was heard the last
Speaker 1: sixty yoo and crutches and then booing. Me and David Lee,
Speaker 1: We're like, we're rookie, we don't control anything. It was
Speaker 1: if you were going to explain Steph Curry to somebody
Speaker 1: who had never seen him play, Oh man, I would say,
Speaker 1: imagine a guy that could show up on any court
Speaker 1: and probably not be picked first, but that will never
Speaker 1: leave the court because he's gonna win every single game.
Speaker 1: Like he's he's not big, he's not extremely fast, he's
Speaker 1: not extremely athletic. But yet he's two number one or two,
Speaker 1: depending on how you are, the most influential people person
Speaker 1: in the NBA in the last ten twenty years. Oh,
Speaker 1: probably even more than that. I think he's more influential
Speaker 1: from the playing aspect than Jordan. Than Jordan, I mean Jordan,
Speaker 1: you know that that shadow is a big shadow. But
Speaker 1: Steph gave hope to anybody who steps on the basketball.
Speaker 1: For one, was Steph had success, You said, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I could shoot from if I could just Steph's greatest
Speaker 1: superpower is a skill, right, Like Steph is like iron Man,
Speaker 1: like he built himself, like you worked on that, and
Speaker 1: he has his innatability and he like shooting is something
Speaker 1: that everyone can do, yet he does it so well.
Speaker 1: We're used to his audacious numbers that what he's doing
Speaker 1: is so ridiculous, Like he's doing James Harden numbers without
Speaker 1: James Harden's. I mean, people underst me how good of
Speaker 1: a score James hardenness. He's doing James Harden numbers without
Speaker 1: James Harden one on ones because he's coming off pin downs,
Speaker 1: He's coming off screens like it's amazing this year and
Speaker 1: I'm you know what, I'm just gonna sound wild. I'm
Speaker 1: not glad that Clay got hurt, but I'm glad that
Speaker 1: people get to see this Steph Curry. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know if we would ever have seen this Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: And I was you know, I said something at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year that Warriors fans got mad. I said,
Speaker 1: if he doesn't take this team to the he's accomplished everything,
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't take this team to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: just the playoffs, that would that would make me disappointed
Speaker 1: because I know how good he is and he's far
Speaker 1: exceeded that to now you got to put him top
Speaker 1: fifteen all time as a players. Now you when you
Speaker 1: get switched out on him? Did you ever get switched
Speaker 1: out on him? Yeah? Oh yeah, Oh yeah. It's the
Speaker 1: worst because the problem is he'll just the ball to
Speaker 1: Draymond and then you have to chase him. And it's
Speaker 1: not like he's gonna just James Harden you or he's
Speaker 1: not gonna Kyrie you. He's like, oh you're my switch,
Speaker 1: throw the ball to someone else. You don't. You can't
Speaker 1: practice that. You can't practice verse going over these screens.
Speaker 1: You can't stay on the body. He's too fast, he's
Speaker 1: too he's too smart, and they set great screens, and
Speaker 1: it's just like he's impossible to guard because he's okay
Speaker 1: without the ball. In a minute you turn your head,
Speaker 1: he's gone. Would you want to be a teammate of
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook's me as a shooter? Yes, oh yeah, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: well he doesn't. He might not throw it out to
Speaker 1: you as often as you think you're gonna get it
Speaker 1: there chanting. I mean, I definitely think that Russell Westbrook
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot better at creating opportunities for other people,
Speaker 1: especially on this Wizard team. I think his triple devils
Speaker 1: do equate to winning. But I also feel like any
Speaker 1: great player, you lean yourself towards their style of basketball.
Speaker 1: Right It just you can't, like Steph can't go to
Speaker 1: New York and be get fifty a game. Nobody's getting
Speaker 1: fifty on New York even you know, Julius Randall is
Speaker 1: having a great year, but I don't know what his
Speaker 1: career high is this year, maybe thirty five. It's just
Speaker 1: a system. So his system that works is fast paced. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know you gotta scoring to one twenties, one thirties.
Speaker 1: She's the second best point guard of all time. Who
Speaker 1: is rush No, Well, Scotty Brooks said that he's maybe
Speaker 1: Scott Brooks said that, Okay, I respect that, but now
Speaker 1: we not stop it. That's so disrespectful to either magic
Speaker 1: John Sair. Isaiah's magic is one, Isaiah's two magic is.
Speaker 1: And now I had this conversation last night with one
Speaker 1: of my old teammates. Magic is probably the last small
Speaker 1: guard to win multiple championships, truly small guard. That was
Speaker 1: your point guard, right, and I mean Isaiah, I said, Isaiah, Oh,
Speaker 1: yeah you had magic? Because yeah, I say magic one,
Speaker 1: Isaiah two. And then you know, depending on how you
Speaker 1: view the point guard position, then maybe man, well it's
Speaker 1: Steph Curry a point guard. I don't, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't think. To me, I think Draymond is their point guard.
Speaker 1: To me, okay, is Russell? Would you rather have John
Speaker 1: Stockton or Russell Westbrook? Oh just sucks and stop? Okay,
Speaker 1: I played with Steve Nash. Would you rather have Nash
Speaker 1: or Westbrook? Oh? I'm taking sorry Nash, but it just
Speaker 1: that hurt that hurt me saying it. But Paulie, let's
Speaker 1: bring in Steve Nash. Now, Steve, you just heard no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do that too, you
Speaker 1: all right, So Lakers Warriors look like their own a
Speaker 1: collision course here in that playing tournament. I don't think
Speaker 1: they're worried about it, the Lakers about that. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Lakers are worried about it, and I don't
Speaker 1: think the Warriors are worried about it because I don't
Speaker 1: think the Grizzlies or the Spurs match up very well
Speaker 1: versus Warriors. Right I think if we are just to
Speaker 1: end the season right now, I think that's how it
Speaker 1: would end. The Lakers will be seven. I think they
Speaker 1: love that matchup versus Suns, especially with a healthy Lebron
Speaker 1: and healthy schroder Um. And then I think the Warriors
Speaker 1: are like, I think we have a chance for us Utah.
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors stylistically are Utah's bamed in Utah's existence.
Speaker 1: They switched screening roll and so there are three things.
Speaker 1: And that's why I was talking about it on TV
Speaker 1: the other day. If they are three things team could do,
Speaker 1: you can play one on one. You can run your system,
Speaker 1: or you could do screening roll right, and Utah's best
Speaker 1: screening role in system team in NBA. So they passed,
Speaker 1: they moved, they cut. All that happens because teams can't switch,
Speaker 1: but the Warriors are the best switching team in NBA,
Speaker 1: so they switch underneath. The last game you watched, Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert had ten points, but like his ten points were
Speaker 1: just I'm just bigger than everybody ten points. He had
Speaker 1: no impact on the game pretty much. Why do you
Speaker 1: think Jordan Clarkson had to go one on one so much?
Speaker 1: Jordan Clarkson shooting thirty three shots is exactly what the
Speaker 1: Warriors want to do, right. But the problem is when
Speaker 1: you add Mike Conley and you add Donovan Mitchell, now
Speaker 1: you have more ball handlers, but neither one of those guys.
Speaker 1: So you would have Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson really
Speaker 1: are your one on one guys, and you would say,
Speaker 1: I'll take my chances with Draymond Wiggins, Kelly Oubrey and
Speaker 1: Jordan pool camp base more. With those chances. Now, I
Speaker 1: think Utah would win that series. But I think Utah
Speaker 1: or I think Golden State would give him a run
Speaker 1: for their money. If I gave you the nets and
Speaker 1: the Lakers are the rest of the field to win
Speaker 1: the championship. Man, First of all, I can't better get
Speaker 1: Braun in the playoffs. I think he's too Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gotta be healthy like in as huge But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, Listen, if I've made as much money as
Speaker 1: he was, I'm pretty sure he's pretty healthy. If I
Speaker 1: know him, this dude gets twenty four hours around the
Speaker 1: clock and this is not a joke, twenty four hour
Speaker 1: around the clock care every time he has an injury.
Speaker 1: So for him, they didn't have a long break. A
Speaker 1: lot of guys are coming back and they're having soft
Speaker 1: tissue injuries. So you've seen a lot of hamstring, You've
Speaker 1: seen a lot of you know, this year has been
Speaker 1: a weird year for them to be seventh. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Lakers give a crap as much as everyone
Speaker 1: makes this. Have you been to Lebron's towns me his
Speaker 1: old house in Cleveland? Oh, she haven't been invited to
Speaker 1: the al Ancred No, No, I haven't. It's been of it.
Speaker 1: I haven't gone to La I'm gonna go to this house.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna raid his one fridge pensive. I'm going right
Speaker 1: to the fridge. What what was the mansion in? Was
Speaker 1: it Akron? That? Yeah? Acron? What did it have in
Speaker 1: that that I would be surprised to? I mean, have
Speaker 1: you ever been to a Hilton? Looks like like, oh no, no, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: where do I check in? They got a concierge there
Speaker 1: for sure. Listen, we are in everybody in the NBA.
Speaker 1: You should take care of yourself. You get a big house.
Speaker 1: I have a big house in Portland, Oregon. My house
Speaker 1: looks like a shock compared to his house. I said, damn,
Speaker 1: I said, this was like to be a billionaire. What
Speaker 1: in the okay, best best house you were ever in? Best? True?
Speaker 1: Grant Hill easily whoa Grant Hill lives in Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 1: He has like a twenty five thousand square foot house
Speaker 1: and it is like, I think Obama stays there when
Speaker 1: they go to stuff in Orlando. He says that io
Speaker 1: worth the golf course. Yeah, he has like a tennis court.
Speaker 1: You know, you got a tennis court. A pooh, he
Speaker 1: got a wine room. He don't even be drinking wine
Speaker 1: like that. You got expensive wines in there. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you don't even drink wine. You got a couch in
Speaker 1: his couch in his kitchen. Like, what who had a
Speaker 1: club in their house? Did you ever go to somebody
Speaker 1: who had a club? Never a club? Maybe Vince Carter
Speaker 1: who has an equally as big house in the same
Speaker 1: neighborhood in Iowa. So it was like Carter, Grant Hill,
Speaker 1: and Shack all live in the same neighborhood in Orlando.
Speaker 1: Vince may have had a club in his house. His
Speaker 1: house is like a house empty Hammer would own. But
Speaker 1: but shocks Crib. I think he's selling it. But that
Speaker 1: is Yeah, that's an amazing Yeah, all in one neighborhood,
Speaker 1: all in one neighborhood, all in Ioleworth, and I end
Speaker 1: up renting a house there in Orlando. It was it
Speaker 1: was the best thing about Orlando other than that it
Speaker 1: was trash. It's a horrible city. I don't know why
Speaker 1: Q Rich and Vince and all them love it. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, oh yeah, Florida, oh man, And I just
Speaker 1: see that Shack bed that had the big as the
Speaker 1: Superman on it. Yeah, listen, like, who's gonna buy Shack's
Speaker 1: house because everything's to his size isn't it. Somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: buy it. Like the toilet, the toilet's gotta be to
Speaker 1: his size, right, Oh boy, must be some dinosauricized toilet.
Speaker 1: Shack is a big guy man Shack Like, I'm seven foot,
Speaker 1: however many pounds and Shack makes me look tiny, and
Speaker 1: I'm a big man. Is shack makes me look tiny?
Speaker 1: But I thought that Yeao Ming made Shack look a
Speaker 1: little more Normal's head is so Yao's head is oh big? Right?
Speaker 1: I remember I was on the Portland Trailblazers and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't really I was playing on and
Speaker 1: off with Nate McMillan because you know, the Marcus Alders
Speaker 1: was bawling and then the playoffs say like put me
Speaker 1: in on Shack or not shock, but yeah, and I was.
Speaker 1: I looked at the coach like what am I gonna
Speaker 1: do with that? Like what am I gonna do with this?
Speaker 1: And I'm seven foot And he just turns around and
Speaker 1: shoots his jump over me, and I look at the
Speaker 1: best like that's the best, like that that's the best
Speaker 1: of guy. Like he outweighs me by one hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: He is five inches taller than me, and like he
Speaker 1: shoots the free throws for his team. He shoots the
Speaker 1: technical free throws like, so his skill set is super high.
Speaker 1: It's not like I can rattle him, you know, so
Speaker 1: I'm just here to annoy him and you know, do whatever.
Speaker 1: He's kind of head that's the signs of a microwave. Like.
Speaker 1: But he's the biggest guy I've ever Mark Eaton was
Speaker 1: a big guy. Yeah, I've seen him, but I think
Speaker 1: shacks or I mean, Yaw's legs were like tables, tabletops.
Speaker 1: They were so big you couldn't move him. I was
Speaker 1: just like, I was yelling at my trainer, like we
Speaker 1: need to get in a winder of this great appearance. Uh.
