This Saturday, Final Jewel the 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: Triple around the Belmont Stakes, Saturday, five Eastern only on NBC. 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: Whole question mcleven and what are we going with? We 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: went with would you rather be in the NBA a 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: head coach or a GM obviously off Brad Stevens sixty 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: four GM. The Celtics have had a lot of people 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: scratching their heads. And it's not because Danny Ainge stepped down, 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: because there was some buzz that might happen. But Brad 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Stevens stepping down as the head coach and then stepping 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: into the front office. That was surprising. And Stevens was 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: considered one of the rising young stars in the league. 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, there's an irony to this, or maybe it's 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: just a coincidence. I was always told, you know, when 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: Brad Stevens, there was talk that old Brad Stevens could 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: go to Indiana. He's from Indiana, and I was told, 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: there's not going to take the Indiana job. The only 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: job he would take in college was duke. On the 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: same day that coach k decides that this is his 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: last year, Brad Stevens announces he's moving into the front 36 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: office of the Boston Celtics. I don't know if Brad 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Stevens thought that he had lost the players, maybe they 38 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: started to tune him out, But going into the front office, 39 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't know who. I don't know whose decision this was? 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Whose choice this was? I understand Danny Ains stepping down, 41 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow's involved with 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: another NBA franchise, maybe the Utah Jazz. But so I 43 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: take one of the at least he's only forty four, 44 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Brad Stevens. So now I'm put him in the front office. Okay, 45 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Now his first job is to hire his successor. Who's 46 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: he looking for? What's he looking for? What does this 47 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: team need? Do they need a new coach, do they 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: need a new philosophy? And who they go after here? 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Hands off, I mean, you bring in 50 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: the talent, but then you don't get to do anything 51 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: with that. That to me, that'd be frustrating. It's like 52 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: Steve Kerr was a GM for the Phoenix Suns then 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: he became a head coach. I like that transition better 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: than my coach is going to be a GM. The 55 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: GM is now going to be a coach, and Steve 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Kerr then gets his hands on all of these assets, 57 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: he gets to coach them instead of Hey, we drafted 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: this guy, good luck developing him. That's what I find surprising, 59 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: not as surprising as Chris Mannox does Mannox will join 60 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: us coming up, and Nick Wright from Fox Sports will 61 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: join us as well. Mavericks up three two on the 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Clippers and Luka don Chick had one. This is up 63 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: there as one of the greatest postseason performances of all 64 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: time because if you look at the numbers here, he 65 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: assisted or scored on almost eighty four percent of the 66 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: Mavericks field goals last night. So thirty one of thirty 67 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: seven of those field goals he either scored or he assisted. 68 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: That's the highest percentage of any player in a postseason 69 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: game all time. Stat of the day, stat of the day, 70 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: that past stat of the day, stat of the day 71 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: here comes that what stat of the day. The only 72 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: thing that helps the Clippers is that the Lakers are 73 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: struggling as well, and they've garnered all the attention. I mean, 74 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: it feels like, oh, Clippers lost again last night. They 75 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: let Luca go off for forty two. Hey, but is 76 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis going to play tonight in Game six? Here 77 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: is Anthony Davis on his availability. Let's say as far 78 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: as tomorrow obviously want to I'm still waiting again, medical player, 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: you know what they're growing. I'm doing everything. You know, 80 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: treatment Ron o'clock, and you know it's just with me 81 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: all the time, you know, with a treatment, in the exercise, 82 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: the rehab stuff to you know, see if you know 83 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: everything is great for me to go on a voice 84 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: in a while. I'm expecting him to play tonight. But 85 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: what I would love to hear from him, I don't 86 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: need to hear I need medical clearance. I would love 87 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: for him to say, I'm playing. Whatever it takes, I'm playing. 88 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: I hope it's not an excuse that, hey, I couldn't 89 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: get cleared medically. Play play if you can play. And 90 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: Chris Bosh, who was with us yesterday, said he suffered 91 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: a similar injury and he did go out there and 92 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: play it hurt, didn't play well, but tried to help 93 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: his team. Unless you're just saying, hey, you know what, 94 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna just close up shop here, and you know 95 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose Game six, We're not gonna have Anthony 96 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: Davis in our season is over. I can't imagine that's 97 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: the mindset of Lebron And what what can you get 98 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: out of Anthony Davis? Yes, Todd, if you don't cover 99 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: the the Lakers regularly and you don't need access to 100 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. To anybody on an immediate basis, do you 101 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: ask the street closed question to Anthony Davis and see 102 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: what he says about that? Has anyone asked him what 103 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: he thinks about what Barkley said? I think you could ask. Okay, 104 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: let me ask you, Todd, how do you ask Anthony Davis? 105 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: When do you ask Anthony Davis? I wouldn't ask him 106 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: right away, but after a few questions about how he's feeling. 107 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: I'm Anthony Davis. I'll take questions, Todd Fritz Booker for 108 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show. But you've probably heard what Charles 109 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: Barkley said the other night. He kind of had a 110 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: new nickname for you, suming was playful, but you know, 111 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: kind of took a shot at you. What do you 112 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: think about the street clothes as a new nickname? How 113 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: does that sit with you? Next question? Wow, you're gonna 114 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: do that to me? Yeah, freeze me out. Well, you 115 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: said it was playful, then you said he was taking 116 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: a shot, So which one is it? Charles Barkley appeared 117 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: to take a shot at you by referring to you 118 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: as street clothes. That's you're are always in street clothes. Yeah, 119 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: what do you what do you make of that comment? 120 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: Next question? You're playing to night? Uh, you know, I 121 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: gotta get medical clearance. If I get medical clearance, and 122 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: I hope to be able to play, So we should 123 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: go with just the brow for now. As far as 124 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: nicknames were, you're moving forward. Yes, thank you to I 125 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you do well as a beat reporter. 126 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: Our beat reporter with the Lakers man Charles Barkley called 127 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: you street clothes.

I know you're injured. You can't play, 133 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: but you can answer a question. Hey, I'm injured. Now 134 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: you're hurting my feeling. Your mouth is just answer the question. 135 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: You're called the street clothes. You have nothing to say? Brouch? 136 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, a little brow and an ouch there? Nice? 137 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Is that going to be the headline? If he can't play, 138 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: that would be out? How you bru b r o 139 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: U c H. Brouch La Times. There you go, plashkey, 140 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm given that there's your column. Ye ask mclov There's 141 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: a lot of sensitivity now about negative questions. Somebody asked RJ. 142 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: Barrett a negative question and he fired back and it 143 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: became linked into this Naomi O soccer story, like it's 144 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: hard to ask he's negative. People are like the media 145 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: asked to negative questions, Like that's a new thing on 146 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: Twitter where they just kill people. But if you're a 147 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: beat reporter, how do you ask that street clothes comment? 148 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: It's a fine line, right, Uh, yes, and I would 149 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: I think you'd have to be gingerly approaching that top. 150 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: Like if he says, hey, I'm coming, I'm gonna be 151 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: playing tonight. Uh, you know, I'm ready to go and 152 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: whatever it takes, I'm going to be out there. You know, 153 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: is this in response to Charles Barkley calling you out, 154 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: calling you street clothes like you you can tie it in. 155 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: It's going to be uncomfortable, and it would be one 156 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: of those where every reporter kind of cringes, but then 157 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: they wait for the response so they can write it down. 158 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: Because I've been in those you know, those scrums where 159 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: you're there and you may ask a question and and 160 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: you'll get you know, somebody for the New York Times 161 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: and be like and then of course they're writing down 162 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: what the answer is? Where not comfortable? Yeah? Points. So 163 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: now reporters have to ask negative topic questions in a positive, 164 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: likable manner, like are you looking forward to any family 165 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: vacations after a team bowls out in four games? Yeah? 166 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: RJ Barrett was asked, here's the question. Okay, he was asked, 167 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: how will you and the Knicks view your season if 168 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: you lose on Wednesday? He has asked this the day 169 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: before last night's game, so he asked a reporter. The 170 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: reporter asked about losing, and r J kind of cringe. 171 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: He goes, We're winning tonight. That's a stupid ass question, 172 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: which is a fair answer because no no athletes should 173 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: talk about Yeah. I don't like that question. It's terrible question. 174 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Now you could ask after last night's game, how do 175 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: you view this season after the loss? I can ask you, 176 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: I can't ask you. Be hey. Hypothetically, imagine if he said, 177 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: you know, if we lose tomorrow, it'll be it will 178 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: still be a successful season, because you know, if he 179 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: gave some thoughtful answer, to pacify them. Yeah, they'd be 180 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: in your medi would kill him, say he's already thinking 181 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: about losing. You've been crushed. Yes time. I think you 182 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: can fairly ask do you need to at least reach 183 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: the second round? If there's a way of saying that, well, 184 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: saying if you lose this game tonight, I think if 185 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: you said it that way and Cushion did a little bit, 186 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: if you know, if you don't get passed, not before 187 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: the loss, I don't think that's fair because now you're 188 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: asking him to go, okay, put yourself in a position 189 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: and that you just lost or think about losing. Now, 190 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: how are you going to feel? I mean, that's not 191 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: a fair to him. Well, he's in talented. Just you know, 192 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: blow off the question as many do, or answer you know, 193 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: well my mindset as we're gonna winside, I don't even 194 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: want to think about, you know, where our ranking is 195 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: for it's not a success. That's not a good question. 196 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: I know. I don't think that's a fair question. After 197 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: the fact. Was this a successful season? I think that's 198 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: fair to ask. But you know, leading up, if you 199 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: asked Tom Brady prior to the Super Bowl, hey, is 200 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: this still a successful season. If you lose in the 201 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl, how do you how do you think Tom's 202 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: gonna if I say that to Patrick mahomes Hey, if 203 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: you if you guys lose the super Bowl, is this 204 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: a successful season? I can't ask you that. That's not 205 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: fair to put you in a position where you're living 206 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 1: in a hypothetical world. It's it's I don't think it's 207 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: fair in in that moment, you know, with the situation. Yes, 208 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: he I mean they'd probably answered the exact same way RJ. 209 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: Barrett did. They might not say that's a stupid ass question, 210 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: but say, like, I don't know, we're not really thinking 211 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: about that, We're thinking about winning tonight. Yeah. I just 212 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: don't think it's a fair question. And so um oh, 213 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: Reggie Miller called out Spike Lee last night. Regg was 214 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: on the call on T and T with Kevin Harland 215 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: when Spike Lee was leaving the building with I think 216 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: around five minutes to go. Oh, Spikes, that's a fair 217 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: weather fan right there. If you listen to the number 218 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: one supporter of the Knicks, you gotta stay here and 219 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: take it like the guys on the floor. Oh, by 220 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: the way, I misidentified, And that of course is Marv Albert. 221 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: I had Kevin working, Kevin Harland working with Regg, but 222 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: that's the last Knicks game. That's the last game for 223 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: Marv Albert with a legendary career, with all those moments 224 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: that he's witnessed in the Garden. And they bow out 225 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: like that last night. Speaking of bows, here is Trey 226 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: Young after he had three point shot late in the game. Yeah, 227 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean the bow. I did it. I did in 228 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: high school at to hit a game winner, and leading 229 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: up to this game, I knew I know where we are. 230 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: I know it's a bunch of shows around this city, um, 231 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: and I know what they do when the show is over. 232 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: So that's pretty much what it was. So I loved it. Now, 233 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: I loved it partially because I picked the Hawks to 234 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: beat the Knicks, but I love that Trey Young was 235 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: able to go back to the Garden, a place where 236 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: somebody spit on him, and he was able to say, 237 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to close this out the way they do 238 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: on Broadway, and I'm going to take a bow. I 239 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: thought it was wonderful. A couple of phone calls in 240 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: here Mo and Arizona leads us off. Chris Mannox Will 241 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: join us in about ten minutes from now. Hey mo, Hey, 242 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: Then morning one, pull question hands down. I'd rather be 243 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: the GM because the coach can't fire me h. And 244 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: then so number two. I know my Lakers are in 245 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: the bad spot right now, but at least I get 246 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: to pick on them the clippers And can you stop 247 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: calling them our little brothers. They're not the little brothers. 248 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: They're more like the guy as the family technic that 249 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: you and your wife are trying to figure out who 250 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: they're related to. Thank you, moo mo bringing some heat. 251 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: Jeff in Indiana, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today? Hey? 252 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: What's going on? Dan? And Dan's good morning? You can 253 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: hear me. I got it. I'm at a spot here 254 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: and getting broken up. I just got three quick things. 255 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: This time last year we didn't have all this stuff 256 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: going on, all these different changes. So hurrah for this 257 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: year COVID is done, so to speak. That's a great thing. Secondly, 258 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: Rad Stevens, I wouldn't want to be the one to 259 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: go after coach k and coach them. I believe coach 260 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: Stevens might take a couple of years of Boston, wait 261 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: until Shire steps down, then maybe take over at duke 262 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: and lastly, Rouch needs to be a dan at T shirt. 263 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys, all right, thank you, Jeff. Yeah, this 264 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: is just what I heard about Brad Stevens. This is 265 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he went to the Celtics, 266 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: and then we wondered if he would go back to 267 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: college at some point, and I was told that if 268 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: he did go back, he did, the one job would 269 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: be duke. Well, I don't think it's happening. I mean, 270 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: John Shire is what thirty three years of age. I 271 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: mean they hired somebody for the long haul because I 272 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: thought Tommy Amaker would have been a great choice. He's 273 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: proven former player and to be able to bring him back, 274 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: but he's fifty five years of age, so Shire's twenty 275 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: years younger. He wanted to get somebody who was going 276 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: to be in there for the long haul. Michael in Chicago, 277 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Hey Mike, what's on your mind today? But hey, long time, 278 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: first time six one a slender one sixty two things. 279 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: You guys are talking about Brad Stevens and you said 280 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: the only place he'd go is back to do Do 281 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: you think it's possible. It's just as simple as the 282 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: Boston Celtics were like, all right, well we want to 283 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: keep you here in Boston. We'll give you whatever title 284 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: you want, whatever responsibilities you want to stay with us. 285 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: And secondly, on all the athletes having a hard time 286 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: answering questions, you know, after a game or something like that, 287 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: I haven't heard anyone bring up Chris Webber at Michigan 288 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: after he called that time out and kind of cost 289 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: him the championship, he talked about how he had to 290 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: sit there just one time, right after it all happened, 291 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: to get it all out of the way and then 292 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: you can move on from that. Thanks guys, All right, well, 293 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: thank you Michael. Now, I just I put it out there, 294 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: and I'm not even being fair to the situation. It 295 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: was just something I was told by a college insider 296 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: about Brad Stevens that if he ever went back to college. 297 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: That's why when everybody like, oh my god, Indiana, they're 298 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: going to offer him ten million dollars a year. And 299 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: I had been told all along if he was going 300 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: to go back and coach in college, that the one 301 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: job that he would look at would be duke. That 302 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: was it. But that doesn't mean they considered him. And 303 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: as far as keeping him in the organization. I'm not 304 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: going to bump him up to be a GM. I 305 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: want Brad Stevens to do what he does well. And 306 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if he got promoted or not, Like 307 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: it's I just hurt my coaching staff and less and 308 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: maybe Mannox knows more about this, but it just feels 309 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: like something there's a disconnect here. Can't quite figure it out. 310 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 1: Still marveling at the clippers inability too. And now remember 311 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: they had playoff Rondo. They got that pass Patrick Beverley, 312 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: I got Kawai former Defense Player of the Year, Paul George, 313 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: great wing defender. There's only one guy I gotta stop. 314 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: He can't jump, he's not quick, He's always got the ball. 315 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: I know where to find him, and he goes for 316 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: forty two. The Maps had six baskets that weren't attributed 317 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: to Luca Dunchick, either assist or shooting. And that's probably 318 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: when he was on the bench forty two and fourteen. Yeah, see, 319 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: can't win with a guy like that. Can't win with 320 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: a guy like that. Twenty shots Okay, have you ever 321 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: missed twenty shots? And he has to take those shots. 322 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: This is what iverson had to do. Like there are 323 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: times when a score has to shoot because other guys can't, 324 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: Like you take it upon yourself every single night. Luca 325 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: knows he has to take thirty shots. He knows he 326 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: has to. Now the question is what kind of shots 327 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: is he going to take? I mean that that pressure, 328 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean that's enormous for anybody, let alone somebody that young. Yeah, mclub, 329 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: I kind of disagree. When you have the green light, 330 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: your your nerves, it's it's much easier to you know, 331 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: you have to make them. It's one thing to shoot. 332 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: I could shoot, but Lucas twenty yes, and they still 333 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: won when you had the green light, and like say, 334 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: it's pickup and you know you're the best guy in 335 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: the court. Don't you just relax and just go to town? Though, 336 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: in a way, yeah, but if I don't make it, 337 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: then who else is gonna make it? Who else are 338 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: you going to count on? With the MAVs where you go? 339 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, I can count on that guy for twenty 340 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: five tonight. Right, they're only getting through one round because 341 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: Rondo can't hit the Atlantic Ocean with his shot. Oh 342 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: I know he had he had that airball where the 343 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: Clippers were on a little bit of a roll. I 344 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: mean this was playoff Rondo. Remember the Clipper they got 345 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: him from the Lakers. He was over six. Is that 346 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: going to hurt his Hall of Fame chances? He's probably in, right, 347 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: you've said, I think yeah, yeah, I think he'll be 348 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: a whole of Famer. Yeah, all right, now I'm back 349 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: to AUNTI Luca. I hate this. He's so good what 350 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: he's doing. Like Russell Westbrook misses twenty shots, but they 351 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: don't win. He doesn't hit seventeen like Luca. That's the thing. 352 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: He can miss twenty, he just won't make seventeen. Yeah, yeah, 353 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: we can. Luca Dan end up in three years from 354 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: now being James Harden with the Rockets, where it's really cool. 355 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: All these stats are great, thirty three and eight and eight. Yeah, 356 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: and nothing comes of it. Yes, James Harden wasn't sniffing 357 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: a title. Yes, at some point he had the one 358 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: year where they were close, and they're At some point 359 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: then the media will turn on Luca. But right now 360 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: you can't. He's too young. And if you happen to 361 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: get out of the first round and you do. I 362 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: think he's played eleven playoff games. I think he's scored 363 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: forty or more four of the eleven games. Does that 364 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: sound right? I think he said four forty point playoff games. Mclub. 365 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: We gotta see him and gets a non Clippers team though, 366 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: because it's just got confused here, Well, it looks like 367 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: you will in a couple of days.

Perhaps you have put her dub him thirty 391 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: three point four points per game, and then it's Luca 392 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: don Chick at thirty two point eight points per game. 393 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: So Luca's second all time minimum of ten games playoff history. Mcleven. Yeah, 394 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 1: I have the fullest Alan iversonce, third Kevin Durant and 395 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: then your guy Jerry West. Then Lebron. Not a not 396 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: a bad group to be it, and there's a Lebron 397 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: feel to Luca. If you look back at Lebron at 398 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: this age, you can see some similarities there. You know, 399 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: Lebron was his score He was a pass first guy. 400 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: Luca's a score first guy. But you can see some 401 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: similarities there in the numbers that they put up. Chris 402 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Mannox joined US yesterday on short notice, after we learned 403 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: that Danny Ainge stepping down, Brad Stevens stepping up, and 404 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: Chris wanted some answers to some questions. He got a 405 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: chance to take part in the press conference yesterday, and 406 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: Chris on Loan from Sports illustrated their senior writer with 407 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: the NBA. Chris, I feel like I know less today 408 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: than I did yesterday. How do you feel about this situation? Well? 409 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: I think I know. Then maybe he knows the wrong word. 410 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: I feel a little more comfortable with certain aspects of this. Specifically, 411 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: I'm less certain that Brad Stevens would have been back 412 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: as head coach if he wasn't elevated to this job. 413 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: And that was the question I asked Brad yesterday, you know, 414 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: would he be comfortable and happy going forward just as 415 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: the head coach? And look, he answered in the affirmative. 416 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: But if you listen to the answer, it wasn't you know, 417 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: kind of a resounding yes, you know to that that question. 418 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: So I wonder about that now. I do think if 419 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: the Celtics had hired Sam Presty, as they probably should have, 420 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: he would have had convinced Brad steven to be needed 421 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: convincing to stay on the relationship between those two is 422 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: rock solid. But if it had just been anybody else, 423 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: an internal promotion Mike Zarin, the assistant GM there, I 424 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he would have stuck around for a year, 425 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: but I don't know if he would have been as 426 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: committed as he's been for the last eight years as 427 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: the head coach. I just don't know if they strengthened 428 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: the organization. If Age steps down and then you take 429 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: your coach and then you put him into the front 430 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: office and his first job is to then hire a 431 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: coach to replace him. They had one of the bright 432 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: young coaches in the NBA, they did, and a coach that, 433 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: despite a rocky last few years, was still widely regarded 434 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: by his peers as a top five coach, top ten. 435 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: Oh everyone to frame it in the NBA, and now 436 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: they begin a coaching search for his replacement while he 437 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: is running the front office as a novice. I completely 438 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: agree with you, I don't I don't know how you 439 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: can look at the situation objectively and say the organization 440 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: improved now. Who he hires his coach will influence that opinion. 441 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: But I know I sound like a broken record Dan 442 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: with this Sam Presti stuff. But that's the best GM 443 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: in basketball who grew up in suburban Massachusetts, who probably 444 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: viewed the Celtics as his dream job. Where's the phone call? 445 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: But where where is the aggressiveness? Why? Why did this 446 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: move need to happen right now? I don't think Brad 447 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: Stevens is worse than you know, other candidates. I'm specifically 448 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: only talking about Sam Presti, an elite general manager who 449 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: was available. I don't know why that conversation didn't take place, 450 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: But was there a chance that Brad Stevens was not 451 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: gonna if he didn't move up? Like was he given 452 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: a hey, we need you to move up because Danny's 453 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: angels retiring. No um to hear where Grossbeck explain it, 454 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: and to hear people behind the scenes sort of talk 455 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: about it. It wasn't a you've got to do this. 456 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: It was Danny's idea, I believe first, and Brad Stevens 457 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: eventually warmed to it. I don't think. I don't think 458 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: even understate Dan how or over state rather how much, 459 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: how influential the last three years has been on this decision. 460 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: If the Celtists had been conference finalists or NBA finalists 461 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: over the last three years with no issues whatsoever. I 462 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: think Brad Stevens might be more motivated to stay on 463 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: that job if he saw a championship like at the 464 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: end of the tunnel. But eighteen nineteen was brutal. Last 465 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: year was the bubble season, which was stressful, and this 466 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: year had so many problems. So if you're Brad Stevens, 467 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe at break feels good for you. As 468 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: I said to you yesterday, you can always if you're 469 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: Brad Stevens, go back to coaching like that opportunity will 470 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: be available to you. This might not be so I 471 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: completely understand why Brad Stevens jumped on it again. The 472 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: question is why the Celtics, without conducting a deeper search, 473 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: offered it. It'd be like me going into the front 474 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: office at ESPN to then oversee all of the sports 475 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: center anchors. It doesn't just doesn't. What I do well 476 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: is anchors sports center, not oversea sports center anchors. I 477 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: just something's missing here, That's all it is. It is 478 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: a well look. One of the overriding factors is the 479 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: regard in which Celtics ownership holds Brad Stevens. I mean, 480 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: all the public clamoring for Brad Stevens job over the 481 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: last couple of years has been nonsense because ownership firmly 482 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: believes in him and firmly believes in his basketball acumen. 483 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: So I don't again, I don't think another organization would 484 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: have offered Brad Stevens this job, but the Celtics, because 485 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: of how much respect they have for him, they believe 486 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: that he can do it. But you're right, it is 487 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: a mixed bag with this stuff, right, Like pat Riley 488 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: certainly did it exceedingly well. Danny Ainge can get it 489 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: exceedingly well. Both those guys are ex players, but I 490 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: don't know if that's as relevant as as it used 491 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: to be. So, but there have also been the flip side. 492 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Tom Thibodeau was an abject disaster as the 493 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: head coach of the GM all the Timberwolves. There are 494 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: other examples of playoff coaches jumping into that that situation 495 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: and not doing well. So it's hard to gauge how 496 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: well it's going to go for Brad Stevens with all 497 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: with these results that we know about around the league. 498 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: He's Chris Bannocks, the senior writer sports illustrator covering the NBA. 499 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: Who's in worse shape? Lakers or Clippers? Well, because we 500 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: don't know the status of Anthony Davis, and because their 501 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: elimination game comes first, I guess you'll say the Lakers 502 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: in this uh, in this situation. Um, you know, Look, 503 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: I picked the Suns to win on the show before. 504 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: I didn't think they'd win like that. I didn't think 505 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: they come out and just storm the Lakers in that game. 506 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: And if Davis plays, I can't imagine him being close 507 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: to one hundred percent, And the presence of Chris Paul 508 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: in that lineup I think will mitigate kind of the 509 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: overwhelming feelings those teams those play will feel being in 510 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: a closeout type of game. So I'm gonna say the Lakers. 511 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: But man, can the Clippers do anything to stop Luca 512 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: Donche when he's when he's right? Like, I don't I 513 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: heard you say Luca's numbers. What makes those numbers that 514 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: much more remarkable is that he's done all against the Clippers, 515 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: and he's done it entirely against two elite defenders like 516 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. He's not going to go 517 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: up against many better defenders than those guys in the postseason. 518 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: So add that to the remarkableness of what what Kauhi's doing. 519 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's it's important for the Lakers 520 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: to win. Obviously. I don't think it affects Lebron's legacy 521 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: one way or the other. But man, if the Clippers 522 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: bow out in the first round, you know changes will 523 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: be a coming in Los Angeles, that's for sure. Let 524 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: me go back to Luca here because I wonder when 525 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: the media turns on him that he puts up these 526 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: incredible numbers. Are you gonna get close to winning a championship? 527 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: At what point do we ask for receipts here where 528 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: it's hey, Luca, unbelievable performance, Then you're going to be 529 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: asking if let's say they don't make it out of 530 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: this round. I mean, the media is going to turn 531 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: on him at some point and say, you know he 532 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: is he two ball dominant? Um? Yeah, Like I don't know. 533 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: There's a James Harden Russell Westbrook feel of always having 534 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: the ball here. Yeah, I mean there is, although he's 535 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: very much a facilitator when he has that ball too. 536 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's an a lead passer, and I mean 537 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: Porzingis made a big shot last night, but he was 538 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: awful for much of that game. You know, in general, 539 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: I asked, you know, asked for proverbial receipts when a 540 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: player has the has championship talent around him. And I'll 541 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: make it a comparison here, like Donovan Mitchell. A lot 542 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: of people jumped on Donovan Mitchell this season. He saw 543 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: the Shack interview where Shack said You're not the guy. 544 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: Other people have said something similar. I kind of shook 545 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: my head at that. Like Donovan Mitchell before this season 546 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: has never been surrounded by championship level teammates, so I 547 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: never you know, it was a bad look to blow 548 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: the three one lead in the Bubble last year, but 549 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: it was the Bubble. They didn't have Bullion Bugdanovitch, and 550 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: Mike Conley was in and out of that lineup during 551 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: that series. This year, I want receipts from Donovan Mitchell 552 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: this year. I want to see Donovan Mitchell, at a 553 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: bare minimum get to the conference finals, if not get 554 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: all the way to the NBA Finals. Luca is not 555 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: quite there yet. That's a good team in Dallas. Tim 556 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: Hardaway has been excellent for them. Jalen brunts in a revelation. 557 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: But as they add pieces around him and they get 558 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: to that championship level, that's when you start expecting Luca 559 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: to take that team to that level. Would you ask 560 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: the question to Anthony Davis about his new nickname? And 561 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: if so, how would you ask that question? I don't 562 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: even know what his new nickname is. What are we street? 563 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: Close by? Charles Barklay? Oh I didn't hear that. No, 564 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: I would not ask the Brows too good, Like why 565 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: why change? If it ain't broke, don't fix it right? Well? 566 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: Street clothes is not a good nickname. Brow is a paper, Yeah, 567 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean the guy. I mean this is like I 568 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: have this argument in Boston all the time about like, yike, 569 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: did the Celtics tune out Brad Stevens while they were 570 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: in the conference finals last year? So I'm gonna say no, 571 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is injured a lot, but he won a 572 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: championship last year, So I don't know. I mean, it'll TiVo. 573 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: It's a little bit too early to start tagging with that. 574 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: Like Chris Paul. Frankly, if Chris Paul's injury had been 575 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: more significant, probably would have reflected more you poorly on 576 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: him than it would Anthony Davis, because it seems like 577 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: every time Chris Paul gets on a team that has 578 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,719 Speaker 1: that potential, an injury comes about, whether it's the Rockets 579 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: team that was in the conference finals or this team 580 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: this year with that shoulder injury. So I think it's 581 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: it's more important for Chris Paul to be healthy in 582 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: this series and Anthony Davis. Oh no, Anthony Davis has 583 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: to be healthy because that's bigger picture that they can 584 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: win a championship. If Chris Paul's you don't think you 585 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: don't think Phoenix can can win a championship? Uh? If 586 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is healthy? No, well, I mean look, I'm saying, 587 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: if they get past the Lakers, yeah think Phoenix. Yeah yeah, 588 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of a wide open field. I mean, how 589 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: about how about I give you the Sons and I 590 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: take the field in the way. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, 591 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: no no no, I'm I'm taking the field. I think, oh, 592 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: they can't. Well, you know, so you basically eliminated them 593 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: before they play Game six. So I'm just you know, 594 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: advocating for Ricky Rubio's former team is Ricky Rubio, right, 595 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 1: they would have been right here with Ricky Ruby. Yea, 596 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: they would have been here, Yeah yeah, right in Boston 597 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: with you out of the playoffs where that would have been. 598 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: Is Rubio is still in the league. Uh, yes, he's 599 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: still in the league. He was up he was guiding 600 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: the Timberwold. I can't even finish that sentence. Is that 601 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: the worst organization? Uh? No, because I think Gerson Rosas 602 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: taking over a year ago, starts to turn it in 603 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: the right direction. But no, I mean, I think, you know, 604 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland looks like they're in worse shape. But do you 605 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: think Minnesota is staying that the Timberwolves will stay in Minnesota? 606 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: Even though I don't? I don't. And then this is 607 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: again this is pure speculation on my part. But you 608 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: know Glenn Taylor getting caught with his pants down in 609 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: that lawsuit where there's you know, no language in that 610 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: contract that says ye stay by the way, Dan, And 611 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: you know this, like, even if there is language in 612 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: that contract, it's unenforceable, Like you can find a loophole 613 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: that says, well, you know, we lost money here, so 614 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: we got to move the team. Like there's no there's 615 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: no teeth to any language there. If you're a Minnesota 616 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: Timberwolves fan, the only way you know you're keeping your 617 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: franchise is at a Rod and Mark LORI invest in 618 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred million plus renovation the Target Center 619 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: or build a new one. That is the only evidence 620 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: you'll have that the Timberwolves will stay. Otherwise I'd be 621 00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: keeping my eye on Seattle. Yeah, but Garnett's gonna get 622 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: involved in this, and KG wants to keep the team 623 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and how involved is he going to be though? 624 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: And don't you know, I mean money talks at some point, 625 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: and if again it comes down to the arena, like 626 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: the rent of the Targets Hays and renovated a couple 627 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: of times in recent years, but it's I think twenty 628 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: plus years old at this point, which is right around 629 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: the time you start wondering if there's a new arena, 630 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: if they build a new arena in suburban Minnesota. Okay, 631 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,959 Speaker 1: But until then, I'm just gonna believe that there's gonna 632 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: be one eye on Seattle, which is gonna get more 633 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: and more aggressive at the NHL pops up there, and 634 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: and it you know, it starts to become a professional 635 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: Sports Town once again.
