1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,199
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,440

Speaker 2: Patrick Show. In case you're just joining us, we did

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: recap our trip to Atlanta with the celebrity family feud

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: in Steve Harvey. We were sworn to secrecy. The episode

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: will be out later on this summer. We of course

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: will let you know. But we went toe to toe

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: with the Rich Eisen Show. And I will say that

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: Marvin and Fritzie had great days. You guys had great

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: performances there, and I want to thank the opportunity to

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: go there. Steve Harvey and his staff did a wonderful job,

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: had a lot of fun. And man, I will say

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: this about Tyler Perry, He's got some money. It's Tyler

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: Perry's studios. It's a college campus in Atlanta, and you

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: go in and gates and then there's buildings. It's unbelievable soundstages,

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: all kinds of movies and shows being filmed there. And

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: had a lot of fun. Steve Harvey did his stand

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: up routine pretty much. It's a stand up routine inside

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: a game show because you're not going to see a

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: lot of the things that happened where he interacts with

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: the Crown, but he was the King of Comedy once again. Yes, yes,

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: I know.

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 3: Steve Harvey just from like, you know, he's Steve Harvey.

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: I remember King's of Comedy, and you know he's on

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: TV and stuff like that. But I can't say that

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: I necessarily followed him all that much. I've always enjoyed

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: what he's done. And you're like hanging around backstage for

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: a while and you're waiting and you're like getting dressed,

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: they got coffee, they got some food or whatever, and

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: then you get on stage real quick, and then all

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're like.

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey just walked out.

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: We're really doing this. Steve Harvey just walked out in

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: front of us and winked at us. Oh my god,

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 4: it did hit me. I like freaked out all of

37
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: a sudden. It was crazy.

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

39
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of a sudden, it's like, oh boy, this

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: is about to get Steve Harvey.

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 5: He just walked out.

42
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Fritzy was not intimidated at all. He did

43
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: is Steve Harvey in person nation to Steve Harvey because

44
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: I thought, well, I've asked you to do a few

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: of your impersonations, right, and like, you know Shannon Sharp

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: right in front of Shannon Sharp. So why not do

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey and do the impersonation.

48
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 6: He's a good sport. He was a good sport.

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it sounded like this.

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 6: I need Dan, I neid Rich, let's come on to you.

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if he liked it or not, but

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: I think he was entertained by the fact that you

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: thought it sounded like Steve Harvey.

54
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: I got the present.

55
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 7: You can't think it sounded anything like that effort like

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 7: this is a safe thing in exactly.

57
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 5: I think he even said that sounds nothing like me.

58
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 6: How long have you been practicing this which doesn't.

59
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 7: Sound anything like me?

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: Brian Windhorse to the mothership. Will stop by Yannis once out?

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: Who wants Yannis? What can you get in return? If

62
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: you're Milwaukee, just joker, go to the front office of

63
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: the Nuggets and say, where are we going here? You're

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: wasting my prime? And his age is similar to you, honest,

65
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: and probably looking around going are we? The West is

66
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: a whole lot tougher than the East. And if I'm

67
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: y honest, I want to stay in the Eastern Conference.

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: If if my goal is to win another championship, the

69
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: team that I would single out, Okay, I'm gonna let

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: you guys guess.

71
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 5: Marvin. I'll start with you the team if I'm honest

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: that I want to go.

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 6: To the Miami Heat.

74
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 5: Paul I was going to say the Heat.

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 8: I gotta stick with my answer.

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: Todd, the Rockets, this is the Eastern Conference.

77
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the.

78
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Never mind and really, no, no, this is family feud.

79
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: Eh and you were told not to say I was

80
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: gonna go with like on family feud. You have to

81
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: just say the answer. You can't say. I was going

82
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: to say Seaton Eastern Conference team for Yannis that I

83
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: think he should go to.

84
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 5: The Nick.

85
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: I think there was some speculation would the Knicks be,

86
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: you know, one of those teams on his wish list?

87
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland Cavaliers stay in the East, Cleveland's young, and I think,

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: you know, you could you could lose a couple of

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: those players. But if you're Cleveland, you're pretty close, and

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: I think that that that might be, you know, an

91
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: easier path if you're going to try to win a championship.

92
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, if you're Cleveland, who's the one player you

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 6: have to.

94
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 5: Keep Donovan Mitchell.

95
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 9: You think they're going to, yeah, trade Giannis and still

96
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 9: try to keep Donovan Mitchell.

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't lose him.

98
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: And and remember, you know, with the Knicks, when everybody's

99
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: all in on Jalen Brunson, I remember the New York

100
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: reaction when they got Jalen Brunson and didn't get Donovan Mitchell,

101
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: and it felt like Jalen Brunson was a consolation prize.

102
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 5: Dude's a star. And I've talked about this.

103
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: There's there's great players, and I don't want to dive

104
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: back into this too deeply, but this proves my point.

105
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson is more of a star than Jason Tatum.

106
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson is more of a star than Jason Tatum.

107
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean he's a better player, because Tatum is

108
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: a first team All NBA whatever five consecutive years. He's

109
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: a great, great player, but he doesn't have star power.

110
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson has star power now. It's how he plays,

111
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: but also where he plays as well. He plays in

112
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: New York and he gets up for these big games.

113
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: But Shay Gilgos Alexander is not a star. He's a

114
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: great player. There's a big difference. Anthony Edwards is more

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: of a star than Shay Gilgis, But Shay Gilgis is

116
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: a better player than Anthony Edwards at least right now.

117
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: All right, pull question for hour or two. I got

118
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: some phone calls to get to and we'll recap. We

119
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: talked about the NBA and Scottie Scheffler, the flag football

120
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: in the Olympics. Got some information on that. You missed

121
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: the first hour, Go to Dan Patrick dot com. All right,

122
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: Seaton poll question an hour or two. We got two

123
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: up there right now. Who should be the most frustrated today?

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: Maple leafs fans, Nikola Jokic, horse racing fans or Texas

125
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: A and M Softball.

126
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 6: Who threw on there.

127
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 8: Battle?

128
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: Yes, classic Classic Texas A and M lost to Liberty.

129
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 5: They did. I don't know why I know this, but

130
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 5: I know this.

131
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: I watched some women's softball Ohio State hitting bombs against

132
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: North Carolina over the weekend.

133
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: Well, right now, Texas A and M Softball have about

134
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: sixteen percent of the vote, which is which is significantly

135
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: more multiples more than horse racing fans. They're they're the

136
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: number one seed and they got bounced by Liberty. Right now,

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: Maple Leafs fans have about fifty seven percent of that vote.

138
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: That's tough.

139
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: We also have up there who will who will get

140
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: the biggest stardom boost from making the finals? Oooh, shake Gildes, Alexander,

141
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunton or Tyrese Haliburton.

142
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: Classic stardom boost Paul.

143
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, all of them will get a big bump.

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: There's almost a three way tie between three of these players. Okay,

145
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: shake Giljess. Alexander Anthony Edwards is actually in the lead,

146
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: but he's slightly edging out Tyre's Halliburton and Sga.

147
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: It feels like Jalen Brunson is kind of already in

148
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: that stratosphere. I mean, they haven't won anything, but when

149
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: you watch him play in the coverage, he gets he's

150
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: already there, even though we've had and who's played in

151
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: bigger games, right, he played in you know, went to

152
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: the Western Conference finals.

153
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: You know, Guest Todd to me, how could.

154
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 7: It not be Bruns If he leads the New York

155
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 7: Knicks in that markets the whole thing and they win everything,

156
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 7: even though he's held already in high red gard and

157
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 7: he's considered there a star among those four. Me you

158
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 7: win in New York and win a championship, he's got

159
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 7: to edge out the other three guys.

160
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 5: Man.

161
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 8: Uh.

162
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: They led by twenty seven at halftime. That match is

163
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: their biggest lead in a playoff game in the shot

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: clock era. As they dominated, they go to the Eastern

165
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Conference Finals, first time in twenty five years. But now, hey,

166
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: did you see Timothy shallow May when the fans were

167
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: mobbing him, Like, I don't know if they're if he's

168
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: getting out of his car or he's in his car

169
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: and they're mobbing him. He's leaning out the window and

170
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're pulling him out of the car,

171
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: but they're just mobbing him, you know.

172
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 5: Being a huge Knicks fan, yes, yes, Marvin.

173
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 6: I love all social media.

174
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 9: People were like, oh, Timothy Shallomey, you know, he's a

175
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 9: Johnny cum lately and there's people posting stuff of him

176
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 9: as a kid with like Landry Fields and Andy rowtins.

177
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 6: He's like, no, no, no, he's not new to this.

178
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 6: He's true to this.

179
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: No NBA, no NHL coming up tonight. I do like

180
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: that not new to this. He's true to them always,

181
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: all right, Paul and Iowa. Good morning, Paul. Best and

182
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: worst of the weekend, Hey Dan, Well, First.

183
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 10: I got a shout out my fellow cyclone brock Purty

184
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 10: getting paid over the weekend.

185
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 11: And then the best and worst for you, the best

186
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 11: of the weekend, Best of the weekend. Caitlin Clark at

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 11: the podium, poise respect taking care of her teammates. Fine,

188
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 11: no bad words for the opponent, just explaining that every

189
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 11: play is just a play. Kitlin handled this weekend pretty well.

190
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 11: Worst of the week.

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 12: It's gonna be.

192
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 10: For a lot of Packer fans. I read Jeff Perlman's

193
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 10: book a decade ago, so I know Brett Farb is

194
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 10: not that good of a dude. But with the Netflix

195
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 10: documentary coming out, it's gonna be really rough this week

196
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 10: for some Packer fans.

197
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 13: Yeah.

198
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 2: I saw where I think it comes out on Tuesday

199
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: and Brett Favre documentary. I didn't watch the Caitlyn Clark

200
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: Angel Reese game. I saw the highlights, and you know,

201
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: the one highlight that's gonna, you know, be isolated here

202
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: is the flagrant fowl that Caitlyn Clark had on Angel Reese.

203
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: You know, there's a play before the play and and

204
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: a lot of times this happens.

205
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 5: Boy, what led to that?

206
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: If you see Angel Reese, you know, push forearm one

207
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: of Caitlyn Clark's teammates out of the way under the basket,

208
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: got the rebound, was going to put it back, and

209
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: then Caitlyn Clark fouled her and then pushed her. The

210
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: foul is fine, the push is not. But it's a

211
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: bigger deal because of these two. And all it does is,

212
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: you know, make you circle the next time they're going

213
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: to play. But Caitlyn Clark, Caitlyn Clark is you know,

214
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: one of the top three MVP candidates this year, and

215
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: she'll she's going to be great to start the season,

216
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: as opposed to last year where it took her a

217
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: little while. She was exhausted, and I said, you know,

218
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: she needed a break. She didn't deserve to be on

219
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: the Olympic team. Don't put her on unless you're going

220
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: to put her on, and she's going to play. And

221
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: I think that was the right choice. And then she

222
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: was great the second half of the season. But there's

223
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: a lot of momentum. Hopefully the WNBA is able to

224
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: take advantage of this, But I don't want this to

225
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: be isolated where all we're talking about is that one

226
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: play instead of the you know the totality of the

227
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: game and you know, hopefully the rest of the w NBA.

228
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 2: Let me see.

229
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 5: Andy in Rhode Island. Hi, Andy, what's on your mind today?

230
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,880

00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 14: She loves a dance. She's by far just the happiest

239
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 14: woman I've seen it in a while. And my second

240

Speaker 14: and sixty four year drought of any major titles. And

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,320

244

Speaker 2: Right, well, thank you Andy, and my best to your

Speaker 2: mom with her trager Grill Adam in Chicago.

247
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: Hi, Adam, what's on your mind today?

248
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 12: Uh? One point nine seventy seven kilos Dano. So you've

249
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 12: been talking about two weeks going on now, but the

250
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 12: Hall of very Good has been an awesome topic. And

251
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 12: uh you said, the Indiana Pacers are very much in

252
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 12: the Hall of Good. They got a TJ. McConnell, they

253
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 12: got a Benedic mathin. They drafted a Lori markin in

254
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 12: which leads me into should University of Arizona, which the

255
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 12: show has not been so kind to have their own

256
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 12: wing or at least Kia Area.

257
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: Wait, the University of Arizona hasn't been nice to the

258
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: University of Arizona their basketball team. All I do is

259
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: say every year they were the Chargers Chargers in the NFL,

260
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: I could be man, this is the year for the Chargers,

261
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: this is the year for you of a. They have

262
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: let themselves down. I think you know we haven't been

263
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: unkind to them. They've done this themselves. All right, continue,

264
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: okay if you let me go ahead, Okay, yeah, my.

265
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 5: Bad, all right?

266
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 12: Kiliderinus Aaron Gordon Richard Jefferson, Mike Bibby, andre Iguodolla, Jason Terry.

267
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 12: They have to have a wing in the Hall of

268
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 12: very Good.

269
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 5: That's a very good suggestion there, Adam, thank you. Luke Walton.

270
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: You can put Luke in there.

271
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: He wouldn't be the Hall of very Good, though, he

272
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: would be the hall of somebody who's famous, the son

273
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: of somebody who is famous. The Keith in Virginia Beach, Hi, Keith,

Speaker 2: cave and his wife took uh took over the garage

Speaker 2: and I think his mother in law as well the

283
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,119
Speaker 2: storage and and you were you were kind of depressed

284
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: at which end here? So what's the update on the

285
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,160

00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 16: Well, morale was good today.

287
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 14: Dan.

288
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 16: I want to first call and say I appreciate the

289
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 16: support route that you offered me. I was feeling down

290
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 16: that day, and so what I took your suggestion. I

291
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 16: went to my wife. I thought about it and I

292
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 16: was like, well, maybe I just stick my chest out

293
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 16: and go and say, look, honey, this is what we're

294
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 16: gonna do. You're gonna take your stuff out, I'm gonna

295
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 16: put my stuff in, and we're going to go with

296
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 16: plant a what we started when we first moved into

297
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 16: this house. And then I thought I tried that before.

298
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 16: It didn't work out too well because I was eating

299
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 16: fast food for two weeks. So I went prayed on

300
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 16: the matter. And if I went in there, and I

301
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 16: decided that I would sneakily hold on second, and let

302
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 16: make sure she can't hear me.

303
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 5: Hold on, Yeah, you're talking tough. She's gonna be yelling

304
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 5: at you, all right? What else? Yeah?

305
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, So my best of the week is I finally

306
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 16: got a little bit of stuff about crap that she

307
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 16: didn't care about. And slowly but surely, I'm going to

308
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 16: take my man cave back over. I was hoping that

309
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 16: I could get some paraphernalia or at least a bibblehead

310
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 16: or something from the real man cave to put in

311
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 16: mind to make me feel much better, and that you

312
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,640

319
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,960

351
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: odds favorites to win the NBA Championship, it's the Thunder

352
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: by a significant margin, and then it's the Knicks, followed

353
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: by the Timberwolves and then the Pacers. Brian Windhorst or

354
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: the Mothership, senior NBA writer, and he was there for

355
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: Game six Celtics and the Knicks. ESPN's coverage of the

356
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: Western Conference Finals starts tomorrow night, eight thirty Eastern with

357
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: the timber Wolves and uh okay, see Wendy joins Just

358
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: don't you know, here's a random thought I just had

359
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: for you, Brian. If Lebron James would all of a

360
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: sudden end up with the Cleveland Cavaliers, let's say end

361
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 2: his career there, what does that do to your life?

362
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 5: Do you then have to go back to Cleveland?

363
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 17: I was in Cleveland a lot this postseason. You know,

364
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 17: the Calves were. You know, if the Calves are, if

365
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 17: a team is really relevant, I'm probably gonna be there.

366
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 17: I covered the Calves Heat series in the first round,

367
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 17: and I thought I would be there for the Eastern

368
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 17: Conference Finals. I thought the Calves were playing great. I

369
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 17: really did not see I respect the Pacers, I did

370
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 17: not see them getting well washed out in five.

371
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

372
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 17: I mean, uh, you know, in my view where Lebron's

373
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 17: career is now, he's just in the total icing stage.

374
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 17: He can do whatever he wants and it won't affect

375
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 17: the way I think about him or whatever. I know

376
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 17: that his legacy is a popular sports topic. I think

377
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 17: it's whatever happens is fine. Like if he plays three

378
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 17: more years and misses the playoffs, fine, if he plays

379
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 17: one more year and hangs it up and they in

380
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 17: the late with the Lakers and they don't make the

381
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 17: second round fine, Like to me, after he won the

382
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 17: championship in sixteen, it was all cemented and after that,

383
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 17: you know, it's just a It's just a part of

384
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 17: building onto the resume. So I would cover it like

385
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 17: I would cover any of the rest of the league.

386
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 17: You know, if I was signed there by my bosses,

387
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 17: I would go. It's my hometown, so I always look

388
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 17: for reasons to go there. I was happy to be

389
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 17: there in Round one, played some golf. I thought I

390
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 17: was going to be playing some more golf in Cleveland

391
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 17: the summer, but that doesn't seem to be going to

392
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 17: be happening.

393
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 5: Well, the Caves are playing golf.

394
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 17: They certainly are. They certainly are.

395
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: Do you think that it's just Steph Curry won his

396
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: career with Golden State Lebron went his career with the Lakers.

397
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 17: Probably, Yeah. I think Steph Carrett were going to career

398
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 17: with Golden State Lebron. I'm you know, high probability of Lakers.

399
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 17: I would never versus cement it, just because the Lakers

400
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 17: are pivoting a little bit now not a little bit,

401
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 17: They've pivoted to Luca and so that makes their medium

402
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 17: term future a little bit harder to predict, but Lebron

403
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 17: has demonstrated repeatedly time after time after time his priority

404
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 17: is to be a Laker and to live in Los Angeles.

405
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 17: So I don't, you know, unless the Lakers did something

406
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 17: to him to change the way he feels about them,

407
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 17: which is not their mo that the Lakers franchise has

408
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 17: invested in almost more than anything else invested in taking

409
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 17: care of superstars. It's essentially their brand. I don't see

410
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 17: that happening, but yes, I think that's that's very likely

411
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 17: where we're headed.

412
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: Janni's had a reportedly a polite wave saying trade me

413
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: or I'd be open to a trade. When does the

414
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: market start where I guess it has it started officially

415
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: of yes, yeh teams proposing yes.

416
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 17: I don't think you'll see a significant big move with

417
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 17: the star player until there's clarity on what happens with Giannis,

418
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 17: and nor should there be, because this could go a

419
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 17: lot of different ways. And I do think, by the way,

420
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 17: like I may not have the best information on this,

421
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 17: I'm not saying that I do. I don't think that

422
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 17: Giannis is one hundred percent said I'm out of Milwaukee,

423
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 17: yet I think that would be a miss. I think

424
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 17: that would be a mistake to assume that. Do I

425
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 17: think that there's a growing possibility that that's that he

426
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 17: is going to want out. I do, and I think

427
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 17: that the league does. In fact, Frankly, Dan, the league

428
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 17: has been watching this for a year. You know, I'm

429
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 17: not saying that there are teams that have like haltered

430
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 17: their organization to wait for this, but for a year.

431
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 17: I mean even at the trade deadline, there were teams

432
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 17: who were like, you know what, let's just let's just chill,

433
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 17: or let's just do this deal instead of this deal

434
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 17: just in case we see Yannis available. People were keeping

435
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 17: an eye on this for a year, and then when

436
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 17: Dame unfortunately had that injury, anybody who would be a

437
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 17: Janis suitor applied the brakes to anything serious. And we'll see.

438
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 17: I think as the playoffs go on and we get

439
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 17: closer to the draft season, there will be an increasing

440
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 17: tension that grips the league on waiting for Yiannis to

441
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 17: make a signal about whether he wants to leave, and

442
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 17: then if he wants to leave, is there a place

443
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 17: or places he wants to go, and is he going

444
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 17: to have control? Those are big important decisions that are

445
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 17: going to happen, and I think you can even you

446
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 17: know this is an ironclad thing. It's all evolving, but

447
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 17: you could even have a player like Kevin Durant sort

448
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 17: of sitting on the tarmac waiting to see what happens

449
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 17: with his future until yan Is the future gets tied

450
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 17: up not guaranteed, but you could see some teams that

451
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 17: Durant would have interested in Yana is potentially having interested in,

452
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 17: and you're not getting both.

453
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: Give me the team though you think has the assets

454
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: to be able to pull this off. To We always

455
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: look at trades from one perspective. It's like, man, they

456
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: could get him if they give up these guys. We

457
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: never look at the other side. So Milwaukee's got to

458
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: be intrigued by this. Who could get their attention?

459
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean I would assume that Milwaukee has been

460
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 17: working on this. Again, not that if their general manager

461
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 17: John Horst was here, he would attest to this, but

462
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 17: the whole league has been thinking about Giannis for a year.

463
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 17: My guess is for some period of time the Bucks

464
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 17: maybe not on their main whiteboard in the front of

465
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 17: their office, but there's a secret computer file somewhere where

466
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 17: they have a list of interesting trades they'd like to make.

467
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 17: The team that stands out with a bright, fresh flashing

468
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 17: light is san Antonio because san Antonio has a couple

469
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 17: of things that are very possible. Yan As straight. First off,

470
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 17: Dan in the modern NBA, in the apron era, and

471
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 17: I understand fans frustration. I have several friends friends who

472
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 17: are we are big NBA fans who like snap at

473
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 17: me and go Nobody understands this apron stuff. Nobody cares

474
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 17: about to stop talking about it. Unfortunately, that's just the truth.

475
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 17: In the modern NBA game, it's very hard, not impossible,

476
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 17: but it's very hard to have three gigantic salaries, you know,

477
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 17: fifty million plus salaries. And if you do all through

478
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 17: those guys better be awesome because you can't fill out

479
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 17: the rest of your roster. And I mean, it's not impossible,

480
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 17: but it's extremely difficult and to invest in that, to

481
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 17: go that route right now is very hard. So san

482
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 17: Antonio has something that is extremely attractive is that they

483
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 17: have a star player in Victor Webbinyama who is on

484
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 17: his rookie contract for several more years, and then even

485
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 17: if he does get the max contract, his max will

486
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 17: be sort of lower down. It's just like what happened

487
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 17: with the Senate with the San Francisco forty nine ers

488
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 17: in brock Purty, right, they were able to build out

489
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 17: their team because one of their best players was making

490
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 17: one of the cheapest contracts.

491
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 5: So they have that.

492
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 17: They have a star player on the minimum on a

493
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 17: rookie sale contract.

494
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: They have young.

495
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 17: Pieces in house that would interest anybody, including Stefan Castle,

496
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 17: who just won Rookie of the Year. And they are

497
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 17: loaded with future draft assets, including two lottery picks in

498
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 17: this draft and the number two pick. And they have

499
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 17: large salaries on their roster that can make a trade

500
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 17: you could equal it. And so if you're Milwaukee, one

501
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 17: of the most important things I have to say before

502
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 17: anybody goes to the trade machine. If you think Milwaukee

503
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 17: is tanking, you've got it wrong. Milwaukee cannot tank. They

504
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 17: do not control their first round pick for the next

505
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 17: five years. So if they make a Yanas trade, even

506
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 17: if it is beautiful for four years from now and

507
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 17: it results in them winning seventeen games next year, they're

508
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 17: going to have a party in New Orleans because that's

509
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 17: who controls their pick. They have to have a real

510
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 17: team on the other side of it, unless they go

511
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 17: to New Orleans and make the deal for Giannis and

512
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 17: get their picks back. They have to have a real

513
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 17: timer on the other side of it. So San Antonio

514
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 17: can give them real players, they can give them young players,

515
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 17: and they can give them draft picks. That's the golden triangle.

516
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: What we don't know is whether.

517
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 17: Giannis wants to play in San Anto, you know. And

518
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 17: what we don atlso don't know is if that's going

519
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 17: to be a priority. If Gianna says to the Bucks, okay,

520
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 17: I'd like to be traded, whether or not they're going

521
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 17: to work together, I would suspect that they would, but

522
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 17: I don't know for sure. So you have a team

523
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 17: like San Antonio. You also could put Houston in that boat.

524
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 17: Houston has some of the same advantages, but San Antonio

525
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 17: is farther ahead. If I was honest, though, Dan and

526
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 17: I saw the way the league was going, and I

527
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 17: saw the unfortunate situation that just happened.

528
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 5: In Boston, I would, oh absolutely, I would stay. I would.

529
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: I would.

530
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: I would say, you know what, let me talk to Cleveland, like,

531
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: if you you want to get a team that is

532
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 2: ready to win and then that's his goal. I mean

533
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. You're right, Boston's wounded, the Knicks are good,

534
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: Indiana's good. Seventy six ers aren't good. So you start

535
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: to look at the hierarchy there and you go, you

536
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: know what, I could win a championship ye with one

537
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: of these teams.

538
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 17: Here's where I once again have to use the word

539
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 17: ap aprons, because both of those teams are second apron teams.

540
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 17: And it's not impossible. I want to be clear, it

541
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 17: is not impossible, but I would need Bobby Marks and

542
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 17: a bunch of spreadsheets to be able to have a

543
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 17: real conversation. It's not like it was a few years ago,

544
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 17: where you're like, you if two teams deem it, so

545
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 17: it can it could happen. And then you get into like, well,

546
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 17: there's three team, four teams, sixteen twelve team scenarios. Yes,

547
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 17: obviously if you had a battering ram and a will,

548
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 17: you could make it happen. But really these days you

549
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 17: have to consider that as well. But if Cleveland could

550
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 17: get Yannis, yes I would, seriously, I would take the

551
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 17: phone call put it Thata.

552
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 5: But San Antonio is still keeping Victor Webbinyama.

553
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 13: That's right.

554
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 5: Okay, Now, how does that pair work together.

555
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 17: Beautifully because Wembin yama Well, here's the thing. Yannis is

556
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 17: extraordinarily effective playing center. This is sort of an inconvenient truth. Know,

557
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 17: for example, well, I'm not going to.

558
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 5: Get into that.

559
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 17: I'll get I'll get aggregated.

560
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 5: I don't need that, we get aggregated.

561
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 17: Yes, if your show is excellent at it. Uh, Jannis

562
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 17: is probably a center in the modern NBA. Okay, but

563
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 17: he doesn't really want to play center. But if you

564
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 17: put in it's and it's hard to play him a

565
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 17: power forward dan because he can't shoot. And it's even

566
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 17: hard to pay him a small forward under circumstance circumstances

567
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 17: because it's harder to get shooters on the court because

568
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 17: you know so one. But yama Is is on his

569
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 17: way to being one of the greatest big man shooters

570
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 17: of all time. Like he is dedicated to it. He

571
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 17: is getting better at it. The Spurs want him to

572
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 17: do it. At the very least. He has to be

573
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 17: guarded out there. And the way that you you know

574
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 17: what you want for Jana says, you want the floor spaced,

575
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 17: and if you leave Victor to open the lane, Yannis

576
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 17: will jam it down your throat. And if you leave

577
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 17: uh if if you stay with Victor and open the

578
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 17: laneyans will jam it down your and if you leave

579
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 17: Victor he will kill you. He will eventually be an

580
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 17: I think over forty percent three point shooter. So and

581
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 17: then at the defensive end you have length for days,

582
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 17: and the Spurs still have dearon Fox. They still have

583
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 17: other pieces that they can that they have, and assets

584
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 17: they can continue to build. They could make, They could

585
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 17: pay a king's ransom for Giannis and still have pieces

586
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 17: to build, which is why to me, san Antonio of

587
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 17: all the teams makes the most sense. However, having said

588
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 17: that if Jannie is in agreement with the Bucks that

589
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 17: we're going to work together and he has two years

590
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 17: on his contract, that's sort of an awkward spot. You know,

591
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 17: when Dame Willard went to the Trail Blazers and said

592
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 17: I want.

593
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 5: To be traded.

594
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 17: The Blazer said, we're going to trade you, but you

595
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 17: have four years on your contract. You're not going to

596
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 17: have agency, and he didn't. You know, he was okay

597
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 17: with Milwaukee in the end, but he wanted to go

598
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 17: with other places. Giannis and is in the awkward spot

599
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 17: for Milwaukee to get the most in return, Jannis would

600
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 17: really have to endorse where he was going that he

601
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 17: would sign an extension. Then you're gonna get more because

602
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 17: if you're a team like San Antonio, maybe you're not

603
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 17: giving Stefan Castle and both lottery picks this year. If

604
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 17: you just think you're getting in for two years, you

605
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 17: want Giannis coming and saying I'm signing an extension with you,

606
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 17: then you're saying, Okay, you're gonna be our Victor wenbin

607
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 17: Yama build out. That's what you're gonna be for your

608
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 17: back of your prime and going into Victor's prime, that's

609
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 17: what's gonna be. So because of that, if Giannis looked

610
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 17: at the Bucks and said I only want to be

611
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 17: in place X, the Bucks would probably be highly incentivized

612
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 17: to try to.

613
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: Make that happen.

614
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 17: So if you have a team, because you know naturally

615
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 17: when a star player becomes available, there's certain markets that

616
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 17: just can we get them, the Lakers or the Warriors

617
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 17: couldn't win a bidding war, Like if mil Lucky said

618
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 17: the market's open, there's no way they could win a

619
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 17: bidding war. If Jannis went in and said I want

620
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 17: to end I want to be with Steph Curry. That's

621
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 17: who I want to play with. Is there a deal

622
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 17: that can happen between those two teams? Yes, yes, I

623
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 17: would be lying to you if I told you the

624
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 17: Warriors couldn't trade for Gy. Honest, that could happen, but

625
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 17: it is not something that would happen if it was

626
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 17: an open market, and we just don't know yet.

627
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: Could you see Jokers saying to the front office in Denver,

628
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: what are we doing here?

629
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 17: I would hope say that, but I don't know that

630
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 17: he would say that. He has never articulated that, and

631
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 17: he has certainly never done it publicly, and I've never

632
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 17: heard about it privately. But if you're looking at this team,

633
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 17: there are two players short. You know there are two

634
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 17: players short. And what ended up unfortunately happening in this

635
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 17: particular postseason was that Michael Porter Junior got hurt and

636
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 17: he was a shell of the player that he normally is.

637
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 17: People were criticizing him, and I'm like, well, if you

638
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 17: saw the way he played in the regular season, that's

639
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 17: who he is. Like, he's an imperfect player, but he's

640
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 17: much better than the player he showed in the playoffs.

641
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 17: And then unfortunately Aaron Gordon got hurt and will never

642
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 17: know what would have happened in Game seven if Aaron

643
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 17: Gordon was healthy. I don't know. He was a huge

644
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 17: difference making player, and so all of a sudden you're

645
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 17: down to like three guys you could trust on that team.

646
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 17: And the build out of that roster is one of

647
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 17: the reasons why the general manager got fired. People focus

648
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 17: on Michael Malone getting fired. The general manager got fired too,

649
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 17: and you know it was because the buildout of the

650
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 17: roster bell short. That team at the top end is

651
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 17: a championship team, but they're not championship team in the middle,

652
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 17: in the back end, and it's costing two years in

653
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 17: a row.

654
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: What player, marquee player, star player of the Final four

655
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 2: would benefit the most from winning a championship If you

656
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: said Brunson, Shay Gilgs, aunt Man or Haliburton.

657
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 17: Well, what Jalen Brunson is doing in New York is

658
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 17: historic and I think that would be the best story.

659
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 17: And if you want to brand me as somebody who

660
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 17: works for ESPN and wants the New York team to win,

661
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 17: that's fine. I'm from Cleveland. I live in Omaha. That

662
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 17: story is amazing And here's the other thing like I

663
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 17: don't and again this goes back to the Aprons, and

664
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 17: I know it's such a boring topic and it's a buzzkill,

665
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 17: but Jalen Brunson taking that contract that he took is

666
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 17: going to be the gift that keeps on giving for

667
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 17: the Knicks. The Knicks are here ahead of schedule. The

668
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 17: Knicks strategy was to get some players in their twenties

669
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 17: that they thought were together and then take advantage of

670
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 17: Brunson's willingness to alter his contract and then build this

671
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 17: team out over the next three or four years. They

672
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 17: were really looking at the beginning of a window where

673
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 17: they were going to outmanage other teams in the salary

674
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 17: structure because of what Brunson was willing to do. People

675
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 17: attack that Bridge's trade, and that's fine. You can attack

676
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 17: the Bridges trade.

677
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 8: You can.

678
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 17: You can put up a beautiful PowerPoint presentation about it.

679
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 17: The Bridge's trade happened in conjunction with Brunson signing the

680
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 17: deal where he took one hundred million dollars less that's

681
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 17: the only way to look at it. And Brunston doing

682
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 17: that and then potentially leading this team through, you know,

683
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 17: the Knicks as a team are not an elite The

684
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 17: Knicks has a unit are not an elite team, but

685
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 17: they are though mentally tough, and they're so mentally tough

686
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 17: because of Brunson and watching him do it and leaving

687
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 17: that team with his mental toughness is a very, very

688
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 17: compelling story. But of course I could tell you Dan

689
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 17: any one of these four teams. It's really fascinating because

690
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 17: you've got Aunt Edwards who's potentially an heir apparent. You've

691
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 17: got the Pacers, who are a beautifully built team who

692
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 17: are extremely fun to watch. Watching them play is extremely fun,

693
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 17: and Tyree Salliburton when he is cooking is is enjoyable

694
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 17: to watch as any player in the league. And then

695
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 17: you have the MVP on on a team that was

696
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 17: built organically like the Oklahoma City Thunder are the blueprint

697
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 17: of how to build the sustainable team, and they've wont've

698
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 17: got an MVP award and MV guy's gonna win the

699
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 17: MVP in the next few days. So I think all

700
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 17: of them are good, but I think Brunson's story especially some.

701
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 17: It's the Knicks havent won. Actually, none of these tams

702
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 17: have won. The Knicks haven't won since seventy three, and

703
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 17: nobody else is over won an NBA title. The Pacers

704
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 17: number one in the NBA obviously, the Wolves and the

705
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 17: the thunder have it won in Oklahoma City, they won

706
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 17: in the seventies in Seattle, but I think all of

707
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 17: them are new blood that are interesting.

708
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: Great to talk to you again, Thanks for spending time.

709
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 17: Thanks Dan, have a great week.

710

721
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 7: Ton Best of the Weekend Game six Friday night at MSG.

722
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 7: After losing by twenty five in Game five at Boston,

723
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 7: Nicks thirty eight point victory, largest margin of victory in

724
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 7: the team's playoff history. Brunton Ananobi Bridges cat All had

725
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 7: at least twenty points. Worst of the weekend. I was

726
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 7: pulling for Mark Scheifeley in Winnipeg Saturday night to force

727
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 7: a Game seven back home against the Stars. He scored

728
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 7: a goal for the Jets just hours after learning his

729
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 7: dad unexpectedly passed away tripping penalty, though with fifteen seconds

730
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 7: left in regulation, set up the Stars to get a

731
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 7: series clinching power play goal in overtime.

732
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 5: Satan best and worst.

733
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: My best of the weekend my guy brock Perdy getting paid.

734
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: Let's go, lad, got an absolute fortune and saved the

735
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: team a bunch of money.

736
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 5: That's pretty good.

737
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 3: My worst of the weekend is the Diamondbacks losing to

738
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 3: the Rockies fourteen to twelve. Not only did you lose

739
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: to a terrible baseball team, but you.

740
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 5: Put up twelve runs and still lost. That is the worst.

741
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 5: How many wins do the Rockies have now?

742
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 13: Eight?

743
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say still less than ten. I think

744
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: still less than ten, all right, Marvin best and worst.

745
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 9: Todd took mine, but I'm gonna go with the Dallas

746
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 9: Stars winning in overtime to go to the Western Conference.

747
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 9: Finals for the third straight year. That's consistency. Worst of

748
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 9: the weekend Russell Westbrook. I thought he's supposed to be

749
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 9: a spark off the bench. He only scored six points

750
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 9: and he had a plus minus was negative thirty four.

751
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 5: That's not good.

752
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: By the way, those downloads stars the Green jerseys, they're fire.

753
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 5: Those are awesome. Pauli Western worst of the weekend.

754
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 8: I say worst of the weekend. It's obvious, but the

755
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 8: Maple Leafs fans, I kind of feel bad for them.

756
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 8: They're getting this reputation that's down in America, not just

757
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 8: in Canada. Is that a team that can't close futility?

758
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 8: It's really rough, especially in game seven's Best of the Weekend.

759
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 6: Bryson D.

760
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 8: Chambeau over the past couple of years has changed his image,

761
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 8: I think on purpose. He used to be kind of

762
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 8: like that meathead, tough guy five years ago playing the

763
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 8: spoiler role. Now at the Masters, he was high five

764
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 8: in fans between rounds every round and now after losing,

765
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 8: not winning, tied for second, he what does the interview

766
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 8: that he did not have to do after the rounds.

767
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 8: He's doing well for his career.

768
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's been a makeover.

769
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 6: There.

770
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: It's cool to see he's fun. Fun to watch Hunter

771
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: in West Virginia. Thanks for holding what do you have?

772
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 18: Good morning Dan, Good morning Dan. It's happy Monday. I've

773
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 18: got a best and worst of the weekend. Worst of

774
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 18: the weekend was, obviously Pauli alluded to it, the Toronto

775
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 18: Maple Leafs falling to the Florida Panthers in Game seven

776
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 18: of the second round of the Stanley Cup Finals in

777
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 18: absolutely brutal fashion six to one. Like Paulie, I feel

778
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 18: bad for the fans of the Maple Leafs, like they

779
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 18: just can't get it done. They can't. And then best

780
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 18: to the weekend was when you reunited with your former

781
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 18: cameraman and one time host of The box Score, Casey

782
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 18: on his podcast. I used to watch The DP Show

783
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 18: and The box Score religiously back in the day when

784
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 18: it was on Direct TV, and I still watch DP Show.

785
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 16: To this day.

786
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 18: I also have and I hope it's good. I have

787
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 18: a Jamie Jesta original recipe stat of the day.

788
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: If you have the original music there, Marvin.

789
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,959
Speaker 6: I got the music that's up here on the board.

790
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 15: Oh okay, I hope it's good.

791
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 18: The last time the Toronto Maple Leafs advanced to the

792
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 18: Eastern Conference Finals and the Stanley Cup playoffs was in

793
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 18: two thousand and two, after they defeated the New York

794
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 18: Islanders in game seven of the first round and the

795
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 18: Ottawa Senators in the second round, also in game seven.

796
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 18: They would end up all terrible.

797
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what the stat of the day, what

798
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 2: the purpose was, but Hunter, you went down in flames seton,

799
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: would you update the poll results from hour two place?

800
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got two of them working right now.

801
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 2: I thought he had it tied out that he's asking

802
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 2: for the original stat of the day music.

803
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know how long it's going to be?

804
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 6: All right?

805
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 3: Who will get the biggest stardom boost from making the finals?

806
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 5: Right now?

807
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards has about thirty three percent of that vote,

808
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 3: followed closely by SGA and Tyres Halibert and Jalen Brunson

809
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 3: is in last there, and then who should be most

810
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: frustrated today? Maple Leafs fans have fifty six percent of

811
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: that vote, followed by Nikola Jokic and Texas A and

812
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: M softball horse racing fans not getting much love there.

813
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 2: I think that we've covered the Toronto Maple Leafs more

814
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 2: in the first two hours of this show than we

815
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: have in the last eighteen years doing their show, and

816
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: that's not good. I love their their jersey, I love

817
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 2: those blue uniforms, man, but they never look as good

818
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: in defeat, you know. And sometimes you can see a

819
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: uniform and go, damn, they still look good like you

820
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: force a game seven.

821
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 5: You're at home. Those fans are waiting for this.

822
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: They continue to wait for this two hours in the

823
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: books already on this Monday, Tony really around the horn.

824
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to make him play around the horn with

825
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: the dan Eds coming up. Final hour in this Monday,

826
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: right after this
