WEBVTT - HOUR 3- Reggie Miller Aug 25, 2020 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.360 Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Tuesday, we'll talk to 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.840 Reggie Miller the whole of Famer, get his thoughts off 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.360 last night's action. Lakers roll the Blazers up three games 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:16.280 to one. Everything's good, everything's fine, nothing to see here. 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.919 Right as the Lakers get ready to put away the Blazers, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:25.160 Jazz Nuggets Game five tonight, Maverick's Clippers Game five, another 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.960 reason to watch. We have a wheel of punishment on 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.080 the line. I'm taking Luca don Chick to have less 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.000 than twenty nine points tonight against the Clippers, and there's 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.320 a pie to the face at stake. All four Danettes 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.279 are taking the over with Luca don Chick, and if 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.720 they lose, all four of the Dannets get a pie 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.720 to the face. So we'll talk to Reggie about that. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:53.480 Here's Lebron James on playing close out games, which they're 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.639 going to have with the Blazers. Now, Lakers up three 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.640 games to one. It's the hardest game because you know 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.640 the team that you're playing with our desk and they're 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.680 planning all you know, they will give you everything that 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.280 they got because they know they can be you know, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.880 sent home and Damian Lillard's got to get started sooner 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.800 if he's going to be healthy enough. Because they were 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.640 down twenty four and he hit his first three of 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.360 the night, his first basket of the night. I think 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.000 it was thirty eight to fourteen. Speaking of a score, 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.920 Lebron James looked up and saw the score was twenty 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.280 four to eight, and of course this was where they 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.440 wore their Kobe Bryant Mamba jerseys and couldn't help but 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.600 think twenty four and eight, the two jersey numbers that 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.440 Kobe wore. I did notice that we were up twenty 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.360 four to eight because I'm always trying to figure out 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:39.880 what's going on throughout the course of the game. I'm 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.360 always looking if we're out, if we're down, what's the 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:43.840 team files and all of that nature. And when I 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.440 looked up there and seeing twenty four to eight, I 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.280 was like, Okay, this is he's here in the building. So, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.440 you know, it was a beautiful knife Far franchise and 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.800 it's something that we would probably always remember. Yeah, it 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.720 was special. Brought to smile on my face when I 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.320 just saw twenty four eight, and I just kind of grinned. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:04.280 But it was over early. The Lakers played inspired basketball there. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.160 Maybe it was in large part or at least some 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.600 part to Kobe Bryant in honoring him. So Jazz Nuggets 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.440 Game five, Mavericks in the Clippers Game five, and you 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.280 start to wonder about what happened with the thunder beating 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.600 the Rockets last night. They tied that series at two 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.640 games apiece. You know the ramifications, the repercussions that are 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.720 going to happen if the Rockets don't advance. Mike D'Antoni 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.000 is not coming back. Mike d'antoni's probably not coming back 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:35.200 if they don't get to the Western Conference once again. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.920 We watch the Rockets, and we watch a team that 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.600 lives and dies with the three. And when they live, 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.200 it's spectacular. When they die, it's still spectacular. They missed 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.400 twenty three to twenty five during one stretch there, and 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.280 I got to ask Reggie Miller about this. At some point, 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.280 I have to either rest James Harden or maybe we 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.680 just go for a layup. This is a team that 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:05.239 miss twenty seven consecutive threes in the playoffs before. I 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.160 gotta get something that breaks the ice here. But James 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:13.000 Harden looks spent. Damian Lillard looks spent, And I can 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.720 understand Dame being spent because they had to do everything 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.239 they could just to get into the playoffs. James Harden, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.200 we've seen this before playoff time and the over reliance 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.480 on him. No, Russell Westbrook here, and I give Oklahoma 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.280 City a lot of credit. Yeah, they hung in there 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.360 and pulled out the wind to tie this series at 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.680 two games apiece. Here's James Harden on the good and 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.240 the bad of last night. We're straight away from it 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.000 on both ends of the ball. And obviously, so you know, 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.800 we don't score the basketball and we don't get back defensively, 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.960 they score, they go on their run. Obviously, you know 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.160 teams are gonna make runs. But it's the way they 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.320 made their run. You know, we weren't getting our shots 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.480 that we want to offensively and defensively, weren't you know, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.720 Asti Gus our principals in so it was a disaster 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.880 on both kids. Here's the number to keep an eye on. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.520 Free throws. Free throws attempted by the Rockets. They attempted 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.000 ten free throws, Harden, I'll have that. At halftime. They 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.200 got to attempt at least twenty free throws. But if 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.160 you're just going to be shooting the threes in Oklahoma 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.640 City knows that, you know, lay off of them, don't 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.520 foul them when they're shooting threes. And that's what happened 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.720 last night. The Heat sweep the Pacers. I have no 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.000 idea how good the Heat are, but I do enjoy 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.800 watching them. I said this in the first hour, and 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.159 some people reacted. Eric Spolster is going to be a 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.040 Hall of Fame coach when it's all said and done. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.080 He's going to go to the Hall of Fame. And 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.640 he's done a great job with this team, with pat 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.440 Riley and some of the pieces they brought in, and 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.480 they look this is an outmann Pacers team. But still 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.360 the Heat are fun to watch. Bucks over the Magic. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.080 They're up three games to one, and as I mentioned, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.720 Thunder over the Rockets. A couple of phone calls in 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.760 here to ask this, and I'm gonna ask Reggie this 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.760 the most watchable team in the East right now? Is it? 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:09.200 The Bucks? Raptors Celtics are the Heat because the Bucks 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.800 are playing the early game, and that tells you an 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.640 awful lot. When's the last time you had an MVP 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.680 who wasn't put in prime time during the playoffs. Now, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.000 I'm sure it's happened, but you know, Lebron has won 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:29.680 a few of the Russell Westbrook James Harden, but you know, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.560 with the Greek freak as great as he is, the 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.200 Bucks just aren't musty TV. The Raptors, I think are 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.719 a really good team, but I think you have to 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.520 be a basketball ficionado to go I'm gonna tune in 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.279 and watch the Raptors. They're well coached, They're a really 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.039 good team. Celtics, I think are probably the most interesting 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:54.560 team because Tatum and Brown and Kemba and you know, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.600 Brad Stevens good coach Celtics with their tradition. And then 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.480 I think guy went Celtics heat Raptors, Bucks as far 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.960 as who is the most interesting watchable team in the East. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.640 And I know it's painful to hear, but if you're Milwaukee, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:17.040 who cares? Just win? It's the same thing with the Raptors, Like, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.240 who's going to tune in to watch the Raptors? Last year? Oh, 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.240 is anybody gonna watch the Raptors in the finals? And 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.120 I went, who cares? If you're a Raptors fan, just 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.320 win the damn thing. I don't care who's watching. I'd 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.680 rather say, hey, you should have watched, look at what 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.359 you missed. And if that's the case with the Bucks, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.680 go out there and win it, shut everybody out else up. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.120 Maybe he'll be a tune in factor next year. Yeah, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.239 MC club. If Kawai and the Clippers lose this round 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.840 and the Raptors go far, is that sort of water 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.600 down with Kawai did last year in a weird way. Yeah, 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.880 and has too, Like I can't trumpet him as he's 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.960 now the best player in the game. And then if 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.680 they would ball out against Dallas, Dallas could ease, they 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.240 could be up three games to one. They could And 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.159 nobody wanted to buy into Dallas beating the Clippers upsetting 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.479 the Clippers because there was no juice there. Everybody was 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.600 focused on Portland upsetting the Lakers and all, what's that 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.600 mean to Lebron? Well, if Lebron's legacy is at stake here, 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.440 then so is Kawi's, and certainly so is Paul George's. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.560 Paul George pick up a white courtesy FUNE And I 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.880 don't know if he's injured, that would be My first question, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:30.040 is there something going on there? Because he hasn't been 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.680 good at either end of the floor, and I would 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.840 expect him to at least be great on the defensive end. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.840 I mentioned earlier in the show, Earl Thomas is not 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.800 going to the Cowboys per Ian Rappaport report. I don't 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.240 know who is going to be buying for his services. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.400 Have you seen mcleven other teams? I know that we 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.840 love to throw Dallas out there because they're the Cowboys 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.040 and you get clickbait. I actually haven't I seen if 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.200 you're in trouble, Dallas is interested in you, Seattle right 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:04.040 coming back? Now, I can't. I can't imagine. You know, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.760 maybe Pete Carroll says, hey, let's bring Earl Thomas back 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.960 and he can help Jamal Adams, Like I don't. I don't. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.560 Is Earl Thomas that good where I'm going to possibly 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.160 potentially disrupt my locker room? The answer is no. Now, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.960 if there's an injury, that's different. But it's like Antonio Brown, 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.800 risk reward ain't worth the risk, and then I throw 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.920 in Age and I would say no, But then who's 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.640 gonna want to bring him in? And is this a pattern? 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.680 That's going to happen continue when he goes to another team. Yeah, mccleman, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.440 I did read the Jets as one team because they 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.600 lost Jamaal Adams bringing it, But I don't are they 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.320 They're like caught between are they rebuilding or are they what? 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.200 I don't know if they know what they're doing. I 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:58.040 don't the Jets, and I feel bad for Sam Darnold 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.880 because I think we're gonna find out how good he 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:06.360 is after he leaves the Jets. I got it. I 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.840 don't know. It's just you look at some of these 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.800 teams and you say, like, what the Packers did to 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:18.000 Aaron Rodgers to me as criminal, I mean not literally criminal, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.120 but you're gonna look back on this and you're gonna go, 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.040 they didn't supply so one of the great quarterbacks in 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.480 the history of the game. And then you almost said, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.640 let's give him degree of difficulty. We shouldn't give him 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.320 a first round wide receiver, you know, and they haven't. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.160 And then you draft another running back, and then you 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:44.240 draft a fullback and you Okay, you're gonna have one 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.480 title to show for Aaron Rodgers tenure there and one 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:53.200 title to show for Brett Farves tenure there, and it 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.480 felt like if you said Green Bay had CD Lamb, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.280 let's just say they got CD Lamb. How different would 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.880 you feel about the Green Bay Packers going into this year? 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.760 Just that move right there, and could they have Ceedee? 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.920 Lamb was already taken. Wasn't he mcleven by the Cowboys? Yeah? 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.120 He went seventeen? I believe? Okay, so was Henry Ruggs 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.679 available or he was? Remember Henry Ruggs went first? Oh, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:21.719 he was the first, but there were other wide receivers. 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.320 It was the best wide was supposed to be one 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.880 of the best wide receiver drafts ever. Yes, and all rounds, 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.280 not just the first round. My source, who's the scout, 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.080 said there is a receiver, a quality receiver his words, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.920 a quality receiver for every team in this draft. And 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.400 somehow the Packers didn't get one. But if they had 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.200 somebody like that, how different would you feel about the 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.880 Green Bay Packers this year? I would certainly look at 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.960 them on the short list of you know, winning it all? Yeah? 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.520 Mclement total devil's advocate. Though what they did last year 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.400 kind of worked, weren't they thirteen and three? Oh? That 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.040 was a spoken mirrors they made NFC Title Game. It's 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.240 like a Titan. They're like the Titans, right, so they 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.000 run the ball. Okay, So then you bring in another 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.280 running back, yeah, with huge thighs. Right. And if so, 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.000 if they're that close, if I use your logic, McLevin, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.120 then why don't you get somebody who helps you this 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.880 upcoming season instead of a guy who's supposed to help 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.800 you in three years at the earliest. Oh that's a 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:31.600 great question, right man. DeAndre Hopkins? Right, I would give 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.680 up that first pick get DeAndre Hopkins. Maybe you have 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.600 to give up a little bit more. So, Yeah, DeAndre 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.600 Hopkins and Aaron Rodgers and I got a great running back. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.319 So then it feels like you're even closer to getting 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.960 to the super Bowl. Instead you're farther away because we're 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.960 taking Jordan Love. We couldn't pounce up on it. Yeah. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.480 Can you do some sniffing around and find out it 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.320 was DeAndre Hopkins? Really on the open market? Does every 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.319 team know that they could have given a second rounder 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.559 for him? Mccloven. I came in here one day after 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.480 talking to somebody and they said it's an open secret 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.720 in Houston that Bill O'Brien is going to trade DeAndre Hopkins. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.640 There was not a question. He was not coming back 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.920 from what I was told. So if I knew it, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.439 then I'm going to guess these other gms would not. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.079 And then how many teams kicked the tires on DeAndre 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.440 Hopkins and said we'll give you two first round picks 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.360 for him? Green Bay would have Gladden? Well, I don't 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.199 know if I give up two late first round picks 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.200 for DeAndre Hopkins? Well, what's it ended up being a 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.000 mid second round? Yeah? I know, didn't even first I 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.600 thought you had to give up two first round picks. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.840 You didn't have to give up that, Yeah, Paul, does 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.640 Bill O'Brien know you don't have to take the first 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.720 offer thirty teams? Yeah, you can get the phone bills, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.280 you know, don't call everybody. It's like when somebody offers 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.520 you something on your house. Okay, we'll take it. Remember 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.040 Chris Farley, Okay, Okay, they wouldn't buy from him. I'm 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.520 I'm gonna pass in a par Okay, Okay, all right? 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.600 Then Michael and Florida joins us. Reggie Miller will join us, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.480 coming up in about five minutes. Hey Mike, Hey Dan, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.200 how are you today, Good sir, what's on your mind? 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.679 I switched over to Peacock finally today, So congratulations, good 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.720 platform as well. Thank you. I called. I called some 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.600 weeks back, not to uh, not to bring up coming 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.400 back from the dead, but a couple of weeks I 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.840 called back, and I was trying to give you guys 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.800 some extra love for the Emmy award. And I know unfortunate, 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.240 I know, unfortunately this year did not go your way. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.000 What I did want to say, though, is your reaction 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.960 was epic and the reason the reason I loved it 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.360 so much was you know, you only have your type 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.720 of reaction when you have the amount of passion that 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.160 you put into this show. So as a fan, to 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.440 see that passion, to see your reaction is the exact 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.199 reason why I listened to you guys on a daily basis. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.280 Thank you so much. Thank you, Michael. Look, I'm honest 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.680 with my passion of making this show great and having 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.760 eyeballs on it and wanting the Danats to get a 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:12.200 Sports Emmy. It hurts. It does last year the year before, Man, 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:18.560 that stays with you. And then my reaction and this 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.480 is why I said, look, you're gonna get we were 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.600 having a watch party a watch us lose the Sports Emmy. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.720 So I was letting you watch me. This is how 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.880 I would act if I wasn't there. If I was there, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.360 I would have been probably far more professional than I was. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.560 But it hurt. I was with the Danats. We are 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:43.240 having fun. We had a party, and that was it. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.000 But I knew that that was what's going to happen. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.720 I just knew. But you know, it doesn't mean that 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.280 you still don't strive for that every year. And it's important. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.840 Who's the most bothered by not winning a Sports Emmy. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:15:02.680 On the other side, apparently nobody's bothered by this loo 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:10.840 I still can't talk about it. Yes, what's going on 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.640 money here? I'm very bothered by it. But you put 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.800 an interesting spending it, like the whole lovable Losers thing 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:19.640 that maybe somehow somewhere I know I said it, but 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.200 I do that as a defense mechanism. It's bad for 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.840 our brand if we win. I'm just saying that, you know, 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.280 I want to brace the fall. I've never heard of that. 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.040 What's that one show that's brand really suffered by winning 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.560 multiple Emmy Awards? Like you know what? It was so 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.960 good that's why it really dropped off. That's why they 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.320 kept winning all those Emmy's. Look at Bob Constus brand. Yeah, 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.720 I mean it's toll and off, yeah, plummeting. Yeah, look 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.240 at my brand, don't you Guys? Like I was like, oh, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.640 that's a dumb award anywhere that day, Like you immediately 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.840 like your brain says, oh, we didn't care. Like that's 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.520 how I That's how I had to go instead of 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.160 being upset being like, oh, draw luck in the draw. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.920 All right, well, Reggie Miller old cheers up. We'll take 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.960 a break here at seventeen after the hour. This is 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:09.640 the Dan Patrick Show. Played golf again, Played golf again 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.960 on Sunday with my wife, went out nine home Part 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:19.680 three peach no, no, but she does. Okay. You know, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.880 I basically have a pitching wedge or no, I have 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.200 a sand wedge, a seven iron and a putter. That's 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.920 really all I need to take down this part three 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.280 golf course. But you know you're gonna love the Callaway 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.400 clubs because that's what I swear by, and the Callaway 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.920 golf ball. I got the Odyssey potter there. So I 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.920 go out there and basically try to put on a 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.800 show here and my wife thinks, wow, you can drive 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.280 the green. You know. I don't want to tell her. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.160 You know, it's only one hundred and sixty eight yards. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.320 She thinks, I hit the ball really far. God love her. 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.800 Now they've got the Big Bertha iron, so forgiving practically 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.520 hit them anywhere on the face and the ball just launches. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.560 Big Bertha gives every shot more distance and you're gonna 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.320 love it.

Stepped Outside of the Bubble, 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:39.520 It goes back into the bubble Bubble coming up on Monday, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.240 and he joins us on the program. Good Morning reg 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.240 How are you good morning, theod or in my Dan Netts? 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.720 How are you guys doing? We're doing okay. We're trying 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.200 to process here what the Lakers are They they got 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.440 everything figured out. Now we're all good. Nothing to see here. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.159 We move on to the second round false alarm. How 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.760 ball movement and actually the ball goes in the nets 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.760 for these role players, how they start puffing out their chest, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.720 they get more active defensively. But again, you and I 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.080 we've talked about this for weeks now. When Anthony Davis 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.679 plays at a certain level, he takes his team to 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.960 a different level. And I think we're seeing that because 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.800 the role players playoff because he is the one player 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.120 and Lebron at times, don't get me wrong, every time 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.840 they touched the basketball is going to command a double team. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:37.360 So Caruso and Casey Pe and Morris, Danny Green, all 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.000 these guys feet off those wide open shots. When they're 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.080 knocking down shots, then this team is tough to beat 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.760 because then Lebron has all these open lanes to get 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.120 all the way to the hole and finish, which we've 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.600 been seeing the last two ball games and Portland we 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.480 talked about this, so I didn't know if they would 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.280 come in on an emotional high, which I think they 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.880 did in that first game, But now it looks like 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.920 they're they're on fumes, they're spend a little bit. Yeah, 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.200 they're running out of gas, and unless Dame and CJ 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:13.119 has a big game, because to me, I've always thought 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.520 the Blazers have a better supporting cast in terms of 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:21.359 Nurkic White side Carmelo. You know, Carmelo's had moments, you know, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.040 during the restart. To me, I think they have a 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.359 better supporting cast, but they have spent so much energy 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.240 just to get that aided seed, and then you know 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:37.480 that playing scenario with Memphis, Dame has been unbelievable. He 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.640 was the bubble MVP. Don't get me wrong, right, You're right, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.879 I think right now, unless he has a huge game, 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:52.040 this series is arguably over. The Clippers game plan for 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:57.600 tonight against Luca is what or should be what Lucas 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.360 is going to be Luca and Luca's going to get 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:04.320 his numbers. I think it's almost like with Anthony Davis, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.520 You've got to stop everyone else. It's the heart array, 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.840 Trey Burkes, Seth Curry, those guys are the ones who 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.160 are really beating you. I mean they did this. Granted, 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:21.480 a phenomenal shot by Luca, an unbelievable triple double by him, 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.640 but it's those other guys when he penetrates and collapse 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.159 the defense and finding those spot up threes in the corners. 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.800 To me, that's what's hurting the Clippers. And again they've 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:37.359 got to get I know, this is like a broken record. 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:43.760 Where's Paul George? Where is Paul George? And look, you 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.280 give your name. If you're gonna give yourself playoff Bee 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.560 the nickname, you gotta show up in the playoffs, right, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.639 I mean playoff Paul right has to show up in 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.920 the playoffs, and he has it. Lou Williams has been good, 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:01.800 Quiet has been fantastic, but that set the piece has 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:07.160 to be Paul George. Once Lucas shot a good shot though, Reggie, No, 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.080 that was no, it wasn't And it wasn't a lucky 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.840 shot too, because he shoots that all the time. But 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.560 it was a bad shot made by a great player. 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.280 And I attempted and made a lot of those bad 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:24.240 shots because he practices those, and I think he'll get 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.760 better in time. But if you're Reggie Jackson, who was 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.040 switched out on him because if you look at the play, 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:34.199 Kawai initially started on him and it was a down screen, 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.760 and what you're supposed to do is switch like for like, 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.959 size for size, which they did. But if you're Reggie Jackson, 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.280 you will live with a step back what was at 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:49.400 thirty five forty footer you'll live with that. Who created 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:53.080 the step back I have no idea, but it was 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:58.880 probably my best go to louve. I adopted it from 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:05.479 Kiki Vanderway learned it at UCLA. We worked on this shot, 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:10.000 I am not kidding you, two to three hours a day. 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.359 So he shot. He showed me how to step back left, 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.600 step back right. Now, in today's game, those guys take 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.840 it to James Harden takes it to a different level 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.560 with the steps. I wish I could have done that. 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:27.679 Ours was a little bit more traditional, couple of dribbles 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.639 and just creating that separation. Lucas is phenomenal because he 0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.560 has a great handle and flow to it, but it 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.199 was an unbelievable shot. It was a bad shot but 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.280 made by a great player, so that kind of lessens 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.639 the odds a little bit. And then Kobe borrowed it 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:49.320 from you the step back right, I taught him. I 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.720 mean this dude, asked me. But when you knew that 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:56.720 you're already giving one of the top scores in the game. 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:00.320 He wasn't then. He was a kid. He was a 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:03.479 pump kid, say with a pump little kid. Do you 0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:07.440 remember do you remember that day when you talked? We 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:13.000
