1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangsall

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: here ready to play. We weren't here yesterday, so we

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: will do best and worst to the weekend. Your phone

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: call is always welcome, emails tweets as well. Chris Mannox

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: will join us. We'll talk some basketball with him. The

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: availability of Anthony Davis, the importance of tonight's game, Lakers, Sons, Blazer's, Nuggets,

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Celtics and the Nets. Sixers up three one on the Wizards,

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Jazz up three one on the grizz and the Hawks

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: up three one on the Knicks. So a lot of

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: basketball that's been played and we're still in the first round.

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: That's what's amazing. When we think of the NFL playoffs,

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: it's a war of attrition. But this year in the

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: NBA postseason, it looks like it's going to come down

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: to health as well. You got Anthony Davis dealing with

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: a groin injury. Now Lebron missed time with an ankle injury,

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Chris Paul battling his older problem, Luca don Chick has

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: a nerve issue in his neck. Joe Lnbid left last

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: night's game with a sore knee. Now, hopefully they're not

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: going to miss many games, and I don't know how

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: many players are going to be one hundred percent, but

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: this is just the first round. You know, you think

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: this season comes down to major injuries. We've seen it before.

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant blew out as achilles. That was in twenty

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: nineteen against the Raptors, And you know, just the reality

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: of this with the NBA, we don't want injuries to

27
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: be the main takeaway from the postseason this year, but

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: it certainly adds to the mystery of what's already been

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: a pretty unpredictable season and postseason probably going to get

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: a little bit crazier. But we'll talk to Mannix about that.

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: With Anthony Davis and with his availability or at what

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: percentage will he be in this pivotal game. Five. This

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: what kind of poll question we're playing with today? Okay,

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: this is a bit of a tough one. But which

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: team would be most dead if their star was out?

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: The seventy six Ers with Embiid who's getting an MRI today?

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: The Lakers with Anthony Davis with a growing injury, the

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Mavericks with Luca Dante has a neck nerve issue, or

46
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: all of the above. Are they all just as depend like?

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: Are they all basically garners? Get rid of all the above. Okay, okay,

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: don't give people an ount. Okay, all the above? Well,

49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I have to look at bigger picture here, and I

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: would say Anthony Davis because the Lakers are defending champs.

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: If Luca is not one hundred percent, and if they

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: bow out in the first round against the Clippers, they

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: were not expected to get to the second round. Now,

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: they were up two oh winning two games in Los Angeles,

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: and you would think that they would be favored to

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: close out the Clippers at some point. But I would

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: say Anthony Davis because the bigger picture is without Anthony Davis,

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers can't win a championship and they are the

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: favorites along with the Nets. Yeah, Seton. Lebron has a

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: history though, of doing it all by himself right where.

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, granted he was younger, but he's taken some

62
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: pretty terrible teams to the finals. I don't know if

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: he can do it. I think that you're going to

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: ask him to be great at his age at this

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: time of the year from month, And by great, I

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: mean he's got he's got to put up like crazy

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook numbers. He's got to get twenty five or

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: thirty points. He's got to get fifteen rebounds, he's got

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: to get ten assists. You've got to get everybody involved.

70
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: But also you look at the supporting cast. You know,

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma, it just feels like he leveled off and

72
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Lebron stunted his growth. I don't know,

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: but he's not getting better. Uh, Andre Drummond, I mean

74
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: he's ten years ago. That's a great center to half.

75
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Not in today's game. Marcus saw is old. Dennis Shrewder

76
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: wants a big contract. Like the there's guys that you say,

77
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: all right, now step up, now you got to help

78
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: out a little bit here because you're sort of along

79
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: for the ride. It's like being the backup singer, you know,

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: for James Brown. You're like, yeah, that's a pretty good gig.

81
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you know, James isn't feeling well,

82
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, wait, what we gotta we gotta do

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: all the splits and singing and all that. Yeah, I'm

84
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: a globe with the seventy six ers. The way the

85
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: playoffs break with and there, they have a hand. They're

86
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: basically handed these shrewd conference finals because it be the

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: Hawks or the Knicks, who they'd be heavily favored over.

88
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: So I feel like embeds the right answer because they

89
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: have a path to the finals as well, but they're

90
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: not favored to even get out of the East. Whereas

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: Lebron with Anthony Davis, without Anthony Davis, they're they're up

92
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: there to win the championship and be defending champs. Seventy

93
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Sixers aren't expected to win the championship. Yeah, I mean,

94
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: I get that this would be an easy path to

95
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: get to the Nets or the Bucks, but I don't

96
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: see it that way. I feel like because they were

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: kind of three, they were up three. Oh, there was

98
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: a lot of buzz around the sixers, maybe because I'm

99
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: a Philly fan. But ah, So second question, this is

100
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: related to something you just mentioned. Okay, is Russell Westbrook overrated, underrated,

101
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: properly rated, or impossible to rate? And let me give

102
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: you a quick example. He was last night. He was

103
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: twenty one, fourteen and nineteen unbelievable all time sets. He

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: was three for nineteen from the field. Yeah, and he

105
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: had four turnovers. So what do you do with that

106
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: SAT line? I think we've just come up with a

107
00:05:52,760 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: new label IR impossible to rate because I don't know

108
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: how you rate him and he's just a He's a

109
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: walking stat sheet. He plays hard on every possession. I

110
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: just don't know if he helps his team win, which

111
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: is which is big? It's us that's big. Yeah. I

112
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: don't ask too much other than are you helping your

113
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: team win? Yeah? I like that his impossible to rate.

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: His IR will actually have a rating like he's seventy two.

115
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Is like through the roof. It's so hard to rate.

116
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: It's it's too modern stats. I like watching him. I'm

117
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: entertained by him. I don't want him as my point guard,

118
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: which is weird when you say, man, I love watching him.

119
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: I just I don't want him as my point guard

120
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: because I don't like if you can survive at three

121
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: for nineteen and I know he helps you in other categories.

122
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: It's just that's who he is. That's what he's always

123
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: going to be. And while I admire that he plays hard,

124
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: he cares about every single possession. I don't know if

125
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: there's anybody in the NBA that you can say truly

126
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: cares about every possession except for Russell Westbrook. Yeah. It

127
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: seems like analysts are split on Russell Westbrook though, because

128
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: if you don't like the way he plays, then he's

129
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: this offense killer who you'll never win with. But if

130
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: you do like the way he plays, the amount of

131
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: offense he generates for the entire team is through the roof.

132
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: How can one player be seen so differently? Yeah, I'm

133
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: trying to think of somebody else where you go. Is

134
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: he great like Odell Beckham? I don't know if he

135
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: was sort of in that category, but I don't know

136
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: where he is now. He's an IT tr guy to

137
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: me because I do I want Odell Beckham? No would

138
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: I watch O'Dell Beckham. Yes, fascinated by him, but I

139
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: don't want him. Yeah, if Yannis goes a couple more

140
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: seasons in Milwaukee and doesn't make it to the finals

141
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: or win a title, he could be an it tr guy.

142
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: A lot of points, a lot of numbers, a lot

143
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: of awards, no trophies. Yeah, but I'm I'm not entertained

144
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: by the Greek freak. But you've said before that his

145
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: style is not necessarily conducive to winning. Yeah, well he

146
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: needs help now. I picked the Bucks to go to

147
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, so I think him as an underdog.

148
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: He's not a great front runner. He's not a favorite.

149
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: But I don't tune in to watch the Greek Freak.

150
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: I think he's fat. It's like Tim Duncan, absolutely incredible,

151
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: one of the great players of all time, but it's

152
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: not like you have that tune in factor. Russell Westbrook

153
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: has tune in factor, But I don't know if he's great.

154
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: He's a great player, great team player. Yeah, mclub. How

155
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: about Ben Simmons is an it try? Yeah, absolutely he is.

156
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: And look, I love Doc Rivers, but I don't need

157
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: Doc to tell me what I'm missing about Ben Simmons.

158
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons can't shoot free throws. He has not elevated

159
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: his game offensively. Okay, he's a really good defender, all right,

160
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I just think at that size

161
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: he should be dominating. You got to handle. You can

162
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: get to the hoop, you should dominate. But when you

163
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: get to the free throw line and I shoot better

164
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: than you by far, that's embarrassing. You can't be a

165
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: liability at that position at the end of the game.

166
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: And what is strange when you see pregame with the

167
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Sixers with Ben Simmons, you have a shooting coach and

168
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: he's at the line and he's helping him. Anybody who

169
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: has played golf and you start to play, and then

170
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: you get a lesson, realize all the bad habits that

171
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: you have. Now you have to get out of those

172
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: bad habits. Ben Simmons needs to be deep programmed. And

173
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: how about we add a d at the end of Ben,

174
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: it's bend your knees at the free throw line. Bend Simmons. Watch.

175
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: It's like when I talk about people players learning how

176
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: to pitch, and I say, watch Greg Maddox. Just watch

177
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: how he uses the count, uses location. All of those

178
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: things don't have to be a power pitcher. Puts the

179
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: ball in play, he pitches. He's a pitcher. You're not

180
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: a thrower. Watch some of these great Steph Curry shot

181
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: ninety three percent from the line this year. Wouldn't you go?

182
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: How does he do it? I do? I mean, I'm

183
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: still trying to perfect my shot. I'm sixty five and

184
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I can shoot better than Ben Simmons can. It's embarrassing.

185
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: Here's Doc Rivers, I guess saying this to me and

186
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: everybody else that you know, stop criticizing Ben Simmons. You

187
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: guys keep this Ben Simmons narrative alive, which to me

188
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: is freaking insane. How good this guy is an all

189
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: the things he does. Ben is not a forty point guy.

190
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: It's not what he does. He does other things for

191
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: your team, and I just don't understand why that's not

192
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: sinking in in our city. You know, everybody on the

193
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: team doesn't have to be a score to help the team.

194
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Ben scores, but then create scoring for us. That's what

195
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: he does. So yeah, if I've been at some point,

196
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: I'd get tired of it. I just would, because he's

197
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: just too good and he does so many good things

198
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: for this basketball team. And that keeps saying it. Celebrate him,

199
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: celebrate all the stuff he does. Well, we don't do

200
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: that enough. Well, first of all, you know, I applaud

201
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: doctor having his guys back there. But here's the thing,

202
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: what exactly do you celebrate with Ben Simmons? Like when

203
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: you watch him, do you go wow, look at that defense?

204
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: What man? Did you see that rebound? He's a good

205
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: all around player. It's just he isn't what we thought

206
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: he was. Remember when I people thought I was joking

207
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: when he was at LSU and I thought he's shooting

208
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: with the wrong hand, and people thought, oh, that's funny.

209
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: You know, I go, no, I he strikes me as

210
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: a guy who looks like he's right handed, but he's

211
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: shooting left handed. He has not gotten better. Is he

212
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: a good player? Yes? Is he a franchise player? No?

213
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Is he a clutch player? No? Those are things I

214
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: celebrate game on the line, that's when you celebrate. That's

215
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: when you go wow. And Ben Simmons is not that player.

216
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: And if Joe Ellenbad is out for any amount of time,

217
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: can you go to Ben Simmons and say, hey, we

218
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: want you to be like Magic Johnson was back in

219
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty NBA Finals where he played center and

220
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: scored forty two. Like, that's what you want. That's when

221
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: you asked, somebody need to be a little more than

222
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: what they are, and that's I don't think we're asking

223
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: much of Ben Simmons. We expected maybe too much. But

224
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a good player, but he's not a

225
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: great player, and I don't think he ever will be

226
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: a great player because he's reticent to take the jumper,

227
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't shoot free throws well, and he's got the

228
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. Yeah, somebody had said, uh, last night,

229
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: somebody tweeted that Ben Simmons is such a great defender.

230
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: He disrupts both offenses. Wow wow as a mean spirited

231
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: wow yeah, Levin, Do you have to pull him off

232
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: the court if he's gonna miss all the if you're

233
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: the coach, he's at the end of the game, he's

234
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: at the free throws, you have to get him out. Well.

235
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: It used to be Golden State Warriors did this with

236
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. Sometimes they would take him out when the

237
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: other team was on when when he had to play

238
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: defense and he didn't play defense very well. Better now

239
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: but they it would be one of those offense defense.

240
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: You'd put him back in when you were on offense

241
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: when when you were playing in a big game. That's

242
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: not the case anymore. But I wonder if you have

243
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: to do that with Ben Simmons, you know, because if

244
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: you do a hacker shock on Ben Simmons, it's a

245
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: great game plan. Yeah, mcclevin. I mean, he's not going

246
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: to score at the end of the game anyway. It's

247
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris. Is there one a option? Right? I don't

248
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: know why he's out there exactly, but you just can't,

249
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, shooting sixty one percent from the line. And

250
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard is even worse than he is by which

251
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: really hurts with him beat out. He doesn't. He's been

252
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: in late forever. He's still that doesn't know how well.

253
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: You know, Dwight never had a signature move. He never

254
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: developed his game offensively. He was just a great athlete

255
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: and he was on the boards and get put backs

256
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: and things like that. But you know, he's a big man.

257
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Ben is Ben is your ball handler. So it's different.

260
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: good morning to Peacock, the streaming service that carries the

261
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: program and our radio affiliates around the country. Part of iHeartRadio,

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. We will get to phone calls best

263
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend. What are we going to

264
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: settle on? McLevin? Okay, there's two. We have a Naomi

265
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: as acopole that will save great. Question about fan behavior,

266
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: are you okay with the police getting involved in fan behavior?

267
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: Should they be prosecuted for what happens in the arena

268
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: as real crimes? Well, just by saying we're going to

269
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: revoke your season tickets or you're not going to be

270
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: allowed back in. First of all, that doesn't work. I

271
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: think all this this is is window dressing, Like look

272
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: at what we're taking a stance on the Okay, somebody

273
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: it throws a water bottle at Kyrie Irvin. Okay, can

274
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: you press charges felony charges? Sure, at least you're sending

275
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: a message there. I mean, Trey Young, I wish you

276
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: would have filed charges against the guy who spit on him,

277
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: and and he's trying to be the bigger man, not

278
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: wanting to be the focal point of you know, this series,

279
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, having it be something like that other than

280
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: his play, but like it like after a while. If

281
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: you're a player, you're like you want to be protected.

282
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: In the NBA, you're you're more exposed than any other sport,

283
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Like you have to climb over a wall in baseball football, Yeah,

284
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: good luck coming on the field. Those guys all have

285
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: pads on. But basketball, you're right there. You're in some places,

286
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: you're sitting right next to players on the bench. When

287
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: you in bounce the ball, you can reach out and

288
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: touch that person right in front of you, but you

289
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: agree not to. So to me, you're almost We've given

290
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: you this access, and then what happens? Now, what do

291
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: you do? Now do we move you back? Yeah? To

292
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: the police absolutely have to get involved because if you

293
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: did that just on a public street, you can't throw

294
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: a bottle of somebody, especially at a pandemic. You certainly

295
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: can't spit on someone and not expect to possibly have

296
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: the police get involved. So I don't know, just because

297
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: you have a ticket to a game and it's an arena,

298
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: is a sporting event going on, there's some kind of

299
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: new rules for how people can interact with other people.

300
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: And also the Kyrie Irving stepping on the logo at

301
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: half court. God, we have so many other things in

302
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: this world to worry about the travesty he stepped on Lucky. Okay,

303
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: he stepped on Lucky and people, Kevin Garnett, it's all upset, Like,

310
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: be worried about other things. How about you stop Kyrie

318
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to know what his health status is. I'm

319
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna guess he's questionable. You know. Chris Mannix, a former

320
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics ball boy, will join us. He's got to

321
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: be so upset with Kyrie. Yes, mcclove, we're playing the game.

322
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Footage apparently stepped on it dozens of time during the

323
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: game too, like others others. Yeah, the whole team is

324
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: stepping on it all game long. I know't bounced the

325
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: ball all over. Oh my god, look at what they

326
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: did the Lucky. That's why Lucky has one eye closed

327
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: because I think somebody stepped on that. I all right,

353
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: spelled m A R. By the way, don't do what

354
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Seaton did. He thinks it's m A y O R. Yeah,

355
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: the Mayor of east Look And let's a show called

356
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Mayor of eastna Oh, Mayor, her name is Mayor m

357
00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: A R. Yes, Bob Bafford and it is anything horse related. Oh,

358
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: I offended the big fans of Mayor of Easton. We

359
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: didn't need We just didn't need to do it. You

360
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: just didn't. You could have set this one out. I

361
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: think most people think it's Mayor and the rest of

362
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: them think it's probably about horse racing. That don't watch it, Yes, Paul,

363
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: if it was the Real Housewives of Easton story, Todd

364
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: doesn't binge. He doesn't do Netflix. It's just not TV.

365
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't. He doesn't do any of that. If it's

366
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: on CBS, NBC or ABC, Todd is watching. Yes, Oh yeah,

367
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: let's bring in Kris stops Mannix Sports Illustrated NBA senior writer.

368
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Let me start with the tragic story of what happened

369
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: with Kyrie stepping on the Celtics logo as a former

370
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: ball boy at the garden. How do you feel too?

371
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Are you okay to talk today about what happened? It

372
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: took me twenty four hours to really get comfortable expressing

373
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: my feelings, but yes, I'm ready to talk to him.

374
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: Uh is there etiquette with this? Like? Did he do

375
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: something that's egregious? Here is he's never going to be forgiven.

376
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the Celtic fans don't like him anyway, but well, yeah,

377
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: look stepping on the logo and the way Kyrie did.

378
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: You can certainly say it's disrespectful. I mean, Kevin Garnett

379
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: obviously took umbrage with it. And we've seen stuff like

380
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: this in the past with Terrell Owens on the Star

381
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: and Dallas and and things like that. It's it's but

382
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it certainly doesn't warrants. It's you can't compare

383
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: getting a bottle thrown at you, whether it's a water bottle, whatever,

384
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: tossed at you as as some kind of equivalent there.

385
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: But it's the I mean Kyrie. The anger Boston fans

386
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: feel towards Kyrie is not different than the anger Oklahoma

387
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: City fans felt towards Kevin. Kevin Durant or Plant fans

388
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: back in twenty ten felt towards Lebron James like he left.

389
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: They were, you know, going to he said he was

390
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: going to stay. They believed he was going to be

391
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: part of something big there. He left, so they're mad,

392
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: like that's It's really not all that complicated when it

393
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: comes to Kyrie Irving. I haven't heard much from the

394
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: commissioner about these fan incidents here, but you know, you're

395
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: you're really wide open here. You're you know, when we

396
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: think of NBA players, you can sit right next to

397
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: a player on the bench, you can reach out and

398
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: touch that player. There's no other sport that's like this.

399
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: So what options does the NBA have in trying to

400
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: curb this. Well, you've seen already in the last couple

401
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: of days more enhanced security in these arenas, and maybe

402
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: as things go forward, if this doesn't stop, you'll see

403
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: even more security, whether it's presences from security guards that

404
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: are more visible on the floor, or some kind of

405
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: taping of some kind of or a blockade of some

406
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: kind for the fans sitting court side. But I think

407
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: from what I I talk to people within the NBA

408
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: about this, it's still they're still trying to formulate strategies

409
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: beyond just the enhanced security that they've already implemented. I

410
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: think what the NBA is hoping and this isn't really

411
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: within their purview, but you know that the punishments that

412
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: are doled out by authorities dissuade this type of behavior. Now,

413
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: I do think charging the fan in Boston with assault

414
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: and battery of felonies a little bit much, But I

415
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: think some kind of legal repercussions where people that do

416
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: stuff like this have to either pay a substantial fine,

417
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: community service, something that comes with some teeth to it,

418
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: because you know, Dan banning a guy from arena doesn't

419
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: really work. I mean it's not like you're gonna have

420
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: this guy's picture like on a proverbial milk carton in

421
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: the arena, Like you can still come in and out.

422
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: I think there's got there's the hope that punishments with

423
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: more teeth will dissuade this type of behavior. Do you

424
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: know what the alcohol policy is at NBA games? Like

425
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball games will say seventh inning, they stop.

426
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean alcohol is playing a role in this, Yeah,

427
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: I believe. I don't know if it's universal, but most

428
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: venues that the most arenas I've gone to, is that

429
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: and the third quarter you can't severe after that. So

430
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: it's almost like baseball where they recognize the the end

431
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: is coming and over the last thirty minutes of the

432
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: game you're not allowed to go buy it, which of

433
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: course sends people running to you know, the vendors to

434
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, buy six at a time and go back

435
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: to their seats that way. So it's not it's not

436
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: a perfect solution, but that's what most arenas I've been

437
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: around go with. I applaud Doc Rivers for standing up

438
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: to those who doubt Ben Simmons, But like Ben Simmons

439
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: has not gotten better. He's he's there's a ceiling with

440
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. And while I understand what Doc is doing,

441
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is not a great player. And maybe it's

442
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: not his fault, it's our fault because we thought he

443
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: was going to be the next Magic Johnson. Where do

444
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: you stand on Ben Simmons And is he a good player?

445
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Is he a very good player? Is he a great player?

446
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: I go very good great is usually reserved for the

447
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: MVP candidates at least every single year. And I agree

448
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: with you. I think Ben Simmons has a ceiling, especially offensively,

449
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think what he does great is better

450
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: than the top one percent of the NBA. Defensively, he's

451
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: in the top one percent. Running a fast break, he's

452
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: in the top one percent. But over the years, and

453
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: we're now at that kind of mid twenties point of

454
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons career where you'd expect to see some growth

455
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: in certain areas, you're not really seeing it. You're not

456
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: seeing it at the free throw line, you're not seeing

457
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: it from three point range. He's still not comfortable pulling

458
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: up from really anywhere outside the paints. So I'm not

459
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: expecting at this stage of Ben simmons career for that

460
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: to substantially improve as it goes forward. I still think

461
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: he can be a key cog on a championship team

462
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: because that defense and that uniqueness to him playing the

463
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: point guard position is incredibly valuable. But I think we're

464
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: past the point Dan, where we're waiting for Ben Simmons

465
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: to reach that next level. I don't think that next

466
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: level is going to come. He can still be great

467
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: or still be really good, but I don't think that

468
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: next level for Ben Simmons is going to be there.

469
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez didn't hit a three for seven years in

470
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: the NBA and he became a good three point shooter.

471
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Like this can happen. And it's not that Ben's form

472
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: is bad on his jumper. He doesn't bend at the

473
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: free throw line like it's very stiff. It just feels like,

474
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's confidence. You know, Lonzo Ball the same way,

475
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Like you get to the point where now you're comfortable

476
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: with this, but you know, I even said to Reggie Miller,

477
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: Ben should reach out to you. You could help him

478
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: from the line, you could help him from three point range.

479
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know what kind of I don't want

480
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: Ben wants to be or you know, and so that

481
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: that's what when Doc says this, I'm like, Okay, Doc,

482
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: you know he's like he's great. We don't see greatness

483
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons because what's he do? He guards somebody,

484
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: he'll have a pass on a fast break and he'll rebound. Okay,

485
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing great there where you go, oh my god,

486
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: did you see Ben Simmons. When's the last time you said,

487
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: do you see Ben Simmons last night? It doesn't happen? Well,

488
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean I've done I've done that. I mean when

489
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: when Ben pass these great games where he puts up

490
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: like twenty fifteen and fifteen, like those are great performances,

491
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: they're not empty stats. He's doing it. But there still

492
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: comes the time in the fourth quarter where you're worried

493
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: about him getting hacked instead of the free throw a line. Yeah,

494
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: you're worried about teams scheming to leave him alone on

495
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: the perimeter, knowing he's a non threat. It's tough to

496
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: play four on five offensively at the championship level. So

497
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: that's what's going to stop Ben Simmons from getting to

498
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: that next level. He's Chris Mannox Sports Illustrated NBA senior writer.

499
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: How concern should the Lakers be? I think you're concerned.

500
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, the Davis injury is pretty scary, considering

501
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be out, most likely for Game five,

502
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: and with the series moving quickly, you don't know if

503
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: it's if Game six he's gonna be available either. And

504
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: they were a very average team without Davis during the

505
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: regular season. Nineteen and seventeen was the record, you know,

506
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: And on top of that, in this series, you know,

507
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: he's been largely their front court production. I mean, Andre Drummond,

508
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: who was brought in like for this reason to match

509
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: up with the DeAndre Ayton, has been getting completely outplayed

510
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: by Aidan. It wouldn't surprise me to see Marcus all

511
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup in this Game five. I think

512
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Gasol has proven to be a better fit with this

513
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: team offensively, at least in this particular series. So if

514
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: you're the Lakers, it can't just be a superhuman Lebron performance,

515
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: like it's got to be Marcusol shooting a high percentage,

516
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: it's got to be Kyle Kuzma having a breakout offensive game.

517
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: What I saw from Chris Paul suggests to me that

518
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: that shoulder is getting better if he can get to

519
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: be of what he usually is. There's enough weapons on

520
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: that Phoenix team at home to beat the Lakers in

521
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: Game five and to win this series. Are you picking

522
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: the Suns? Yes, this is gonna bite me again because

523
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: every time every time I go against Lebron, I lose.

524
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: So take that for what it's worth, Like, yeah, he

525
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: put me out. I didn't even think about who I

526
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: was picking until that exact moment, but this is eventually

527
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: going to make me look stupid. So yes, yeah, you're

528
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: aware that Lebron's on the Lakers, right, I am, okay.

529
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure because this hasn't gone

530
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: well like in the last twelve years. It feels like

531
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: you go against Lebron, you're like Paul Pierce, you don't

532
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: like Lebron. I do like Lebron. I just for some reason,

533
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: I I sort of like convinced myself that other teams

534
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: can beat it, like I was doing that with like

535
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I did that with Atlanta at one point, you know,

536
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: during Lebron's which was incredibly stupid in hindsight, but like

537
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: Boston several times over on your show, I think I

538
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: said it was more likely than not that the Lakers

539
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs, which a clip that I was

540
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: made to eat over and over again on social media

541
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: for almost two years. So but why don't you go

542
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: with Lebron? Well, I look, I did. I'm gonna get

543
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: to the playoffs going into the playoffs with the Lakers

544
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: at full strength. I picked the Lakers to win the

545
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: whole thing I did, I thought, but the AD injuries significant,

546
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: Like going without him against this team is going to

547
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: be really tough. So we'll see what Lebron could pull out.

548
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: Like invariably he does it right, Invariably he does something

549
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: superhuman that makes people like me look stupid. But this

550
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: is a tough, tough matchup for that Laker team without Ad.

551
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: What kind of fallout do you think that the Lakers

552
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: will have if they don't get out of the first

553
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: round given the circumstances, Probably not much. But do they

554
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: keep Dennis Shrewder, do they get rid of Kyle kuzma U?

555
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Marc Gasol is probably a one and done. Do they

556
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: keep under a two year contract? Contracts and I don't

557
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: want him another year? I think they're well, you kind

558
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: of stuck with him though, I don't know what you

559
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: just wave him and eat the sound. I honestly this

560
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, And this goes back to a conversation about

561
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: several teams that are facing questions. Whether it's Boston or

562
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: Miami or whatever. This season has been so weird with

563
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: COVID issues, four games and five nights, myriad injuries. The

564
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: Lakers have been at the forefront of it. I don't

565
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: think you overreact to the end result of this season.

566
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: If they get beat in the first round by Phoenix.

567
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: There are reasons for it, right, You lost Anthony Davis,

568
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: you had a bunch of injuries that affected your chemistry.

569
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: Andre Drummond came in late. You could explain a lot

570
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: of that a way. I think it would be a

571
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: mistake to just to, you know, blow up the Lakers.

572
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: You may have a tough decision to make on Davin Shrewder.

573
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he clearly wants to get, like, you know,

574
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five million dollars per year on a new contract,

575
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: So maybe that's a tough call, but this is still

576
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: a Laker t Dan that when fully healthy, I would

577
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: favor them going into next year. I would consider them

578
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: a favorite going into next year. Who do you like

579
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: with the Clippers and MAVs? Now? I dogged the Clippers

580
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: pretty bad after you know, Game two, because I didn't

581
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: think they had the mental toughness to do what they

582
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: did over the last couple of games. And you know,

583
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: we banged on you know, playoff pe Paul George and

584
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, you know, for kind of not showing up

585
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: against Luca don Chees. They showed up in these last

586
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: couple of games. And again, circumstances affect kind of what

587
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: you project the series to be. Luca's injured. He looked

588
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: hurt in that last couple of games. Now there's been

589
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: reports that he's feeling better going into this next this

590
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: game five, but if he's anything but one hundred percent,

591
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: I think the Clippers have done enough to get back

592
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: in this series. It's remarkable, it really is. I thought

593
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: this team was done. I thought they would lose at

594
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: most in five games, maybe even get swept. But the

595
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: mental toughness this Clipper team showed Tylu the adjustments he

596
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: made in defending Luca don Chick. It really is an

597
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: impressive around by the Clippers. Great to talk to you again, Chris,

598
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. We appreciate your time. As always, it's gotta

599
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: be like Lakers at six. So I know, yeah, I know, okay,

600
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: I know. Keep for your head on right, Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1: Patrick Dollar Shape Club dot com slash Patrick. Did we

633
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: settle on a poll question? Mclovin, We did, and the

634
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: best part of it is people's responses. So is Russell

635
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: Westbrook properly rated, overrated, underrated, or impossible to rate. Actually,

636
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 1: properly rated is winning, but people are sending in other

637
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: impossible to rate players. Okay, Kawhi Leonard, Matthew Stafford, Rudy Gobert,

638
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: and Draymond Green to name a few. Okay, all of

639
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: them have a little irt at them. Yeah, we've just

640
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: created irt and possible to rate it trr impossible to rate. Yeah. See,

641
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I think, um, like, what is the option Andrew perfectly

642
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: rated or appropriately properly rated? Overrated, underrated or impossible to rate?

643
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: Properly rated is sort of crippling the poll question because

644
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: we can't figure out how to rate him. Is he

645
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: overrated or underrated? So if the proper rated, what is

646
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: the proper rating? Then because we don't know, we can't

647
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: figure it out, so properly rated is sort of Yeah,

648
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: we should have worked humped this a little bit more. Yeah,

649
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: Paul Baker Mayfield seems tough to rate. Is he a

650
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: top ten NFL quarterback? No, he's about to get top

651
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: five NFL quarterback money though, Yeah, but he's just next up, right?

652
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: But would you rate him as a top No. Fifteen

653
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback? Maybe? Interesting? Maybe, tough to rate. Maybe. By

654
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: the way, the Cincinnati Bengals have a hotline number. It's

655
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: a five one, three, three eight one. Jerk Fans using

656
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: too much foul language will first get a warning from

657
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: stadium security, and then if you continue, you could be

658
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: ejected and have your season tickets in personal seat licenses revoked.

659
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: I thought this is years ago. It all started back

660
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. I'm muchure if they still

661
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: do it now, but it seems like something that should

662
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: be universally approved by everybody. Oh okay, yeah, two thousand

663
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: and six. Yeah, yeah, but that's you know, they're saying, Oh,

664
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: you know, hey, Ben Roethlisberger's being a jerk out there

665
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: on the field. You know what's security gonna do if

666
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,959
Speaker 1: Ben's playing well against your your team? Yeah, poem, maybe

667
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: I knew you. Remember they have NBA cares, how about
