1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. It's our one on 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: this Thursday, Dan and The Dane's Dan Patrick Show. I 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,079 Speaker 1: don't know how we tap yesterday. It was kind of 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: a wild three hours where we had gotten word that 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: Danny Ainge was stepping down, maybe retiring, although I don't 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: think he's retiring. I think he'll end up with another 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: team in the NBA, perhaps the Utah Jazz. And then 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Brad Stevens was no longer going to coach, he was 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: moving into the front office. And then Mike Shashevsky announces 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: that this season will be his last season as a 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: basketball coach. That's just Wednesday. I don't know what today holds, 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: but you know, you start to think about this. You 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: may not like Duke, you may even hate them, but 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: it's hard not to respect what coach k has done 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: over the last four decades. He'll retire after this season. 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: John Schier, his assistant, will take over a former player, 18 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: and that gives us time to celebrate the winning his 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: coach in history, and you'll understand and what he accomplished. 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: I think you have to remember what Duke was like 21 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: when he took over in nineteen eighty. Not an elite program. 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: Duke had had some prior success in the sixties, but 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: this is the premier program in the country. Won five 24 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: national titles. He did it with different styles, different players. 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: He broke through with upperclassmen one titles that way and 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: race the one in dunners one titles that way, wasn't 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: plagued by scandals, and his players always stayed close to 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: the program after they left. He added Olympic gold medals 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: to his resume and did so much to grow the 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: sport here and abroad. So you might boo Duke, and 31 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: why not. I have no problem with that, but make 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: sure you cheer Coach K. Recognize an incredible impact on 33 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: the sport. Congratulations Coach K, going out the way you 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: want to go out. John Shire takes over, and I 35 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: wondered about John Shire. Now he had stayed there, but 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: the timing other players, Tommy Amaker, Johnny Dawkins, Quinn Snyder 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: years ago, Steve Wojahowsky like they had taken jobs. They 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: were waiting waiting, can't pass this up, And Coach K 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: would probably say to them, take those jobs. Jeff Capel like, 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: there's probably six or some Bobby Hurley. I mean, there's 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: a lot of former players where you go, he would 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: be ideal. John Shier was a player on a national 43 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: title team, but he's only been there seven years. Now, 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: age I think really factors in because he's thirty three 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: years of age. I thought Tommy Amaker was the ideal 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: coach because he's had success at Harvard, he's made Harvard 47 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: relevant in basketball. But he's fifty five years of age, 48 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: and had he been ten years younger, five years younger, 49 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: maybe he gets that job. Johnny Dawkins at Central Florida 50 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: team that nearly upset due in the tournament. Johnny was 51 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: coach K's first prized recruit, but John Shire gets the job. Now, 52 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: this is where we look at these legends. When the 53 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: legend leaves and then what happens. You never want to 54 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: be the guy who follows. You want to be the 55 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: guy who follows the guy who follows the legend. You 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: don't want to be the guy who follows the legend. 57 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: We've seen this before Ucla or Indiana, now Kentucky after 58 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: eight off rupstep down, joe By Hall took over and 59 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: they won a national title there. But John Shire, Now 60 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: this is a completely different college basketball landscape, you know, 61 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: the one and done. You know, are we eventually going 62 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: to get those players coming right out of high school? 63 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: Does that change things? Are you going to try to 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: recruit upper classman? You want to get guys who can 65 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: stay maybe two years, maybe three years at the most. 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: But John Shire, that's a big seat. That's a big 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: seat you're taken over. And he knows that. But I 68 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: was surprised. I was surprised that he was going to 69 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: get the job. And I think we've had John on 70 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: before when he was a player, after he won a 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: national title. But as far as you know basketball acumen, 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: I know what I've seen with these other players. You know, 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: Bobby Hurley has been successful Buffalo, Arizona State. You know, 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: I'd mentioned Johnny Dawkins has been at a couple of 75 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: different stops. Tommy Amaker obviously, so there there's a pretty 76 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: good lineage here. But John Shire, who has less on 77 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: his coaching resume than these other former players do. But 78 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: I think he's got age on his side, gonna have 79 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: to recruit, got to get out there. Even it's though 80 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: it's Duke, you know, Coach k that's the closer you 81 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: know when you're bringing in the closer that's Marianna Rivera. Yeah, 82 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: you walk into his office and you probably see trophies 83 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: and you know, pictures, moments, nets from championships and you're going, 84 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: all right, this seems like a pretty plus. If you've 85 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: ever been on the Duke campus, it's pretty place, too 86 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: beautiful place, but you got to get out there and recruit. 87 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: And college basketball has changed. If I was coaching, I 88 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: would if I was just starting to coach, I would 89 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: realize what the landscape is. The players are going to 90 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: get paid by somebody. The question is you may not 91 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: know about it because everybody's got their hand in somebody's pocket. 92 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: And I think after a while that would be that'd 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: be really tough to deal with on a day to day, 94 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, week to week, month to month, year to 95 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: year basis. Where this is what college basketball is all about, 96 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: players going to the G League. I mean, there's this 97 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: hasn't settled yet. I don't know where we're headed, but 98 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: we're headed in some direction in college athletics. And is 99 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: it a seismic shift, I don't know, but it feels 100 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: like something is going to happen. It's going to happen 101 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: in college football, the halves and the have nots. It's 102 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: going to happen in basketball with players. Do they go 103 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: to a G league? Do they go right to the NBA? 104 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: Those who do go to college, how long are they 105 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: going to stay at college? You know, the shoe companies, 106 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: all of those. I mean, there's just so much involved 107 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: in this, a whole lot to unpack. But coach k 108 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like you survived forty one years 109 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: because it's a it's a grind. And I know you're 110 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: only recruiting how many players signing but four players? Five 111 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: players a year, maybe maybe six, But you know, you 112 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: got to keep them there, keep them happy, playing time. 113 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: Everybody wants they're touches. Everybody thinks they're a star. You're 114 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: coming into Duke, you're one and done. You know, look 115 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: at what's John Calipari's going through. Coach call the king 116 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: of the one and donners got you know, I had 117 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: a horrible year this year now, and these kids weren't great. 118 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: They're not great talent. They're not you know, transcendent talent 119 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: where you go, Okay, I'm gonna put up with this. 120 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: You got guys who average like six points a game 121 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: and they're going into the NBA. You know, they said, 122 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: I'm going into the draft. Guy's transfer. But everybody has potential. 123 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: When you get to college, everybody's got potential, and you're 124 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: told so many things. Hey, you know what, you should 125 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: be averaging twenty. Hey you're the number one guy. You 126 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: gotta get your touches. Now, that's what that's how it works. 127 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: Now you don't go in there and still you still 128 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: have a coach who is your coach, and he is 129 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: he's got the final say. But you see player empowerment 130 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: in the NBA, and probably started when Magic Johnson got 131 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: Paul westhead fired. I mean that's probably where player empowerment 132 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: first started. And we're seeing this in all sports. But 133 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: to be a coach now, to be at least in college, 134 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: you get to control. And that that's why, you know, 135 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: it's always interesting when somebody wants to coach, Like when 136 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: coach k thought about coaching the Lakers, and I went, 137 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: he's not wired to do that. Urban Meyer is going 138 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: to coach in the NFL. I still don't think he's 139 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: wired to do it. I got no salary cap in college. 140 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about you know a lot 141 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: of this stuff. I might lose two games, he may 142 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: lose two games in the first month of the season, 143 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: and then Coach K is going to coach the Lakers 144 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: just the losing. They're so used to winning, and you 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: could see it with Coach K. I don't know if 146 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: he really enjoyed the wins as much as those losses 147 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: are so painful, and he didn't have that many losses. 148 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: When you think about the numbers that he's put up, 149 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: He's got one thousand, one hundred seventy wins three hundred 150 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: and sixty one losses. Second on the list is Jim 151 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: Beheim nine hundred eighty two. Jim Calhoun has nine hundred 152 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: and eighteen. Well, that's a sneaky number for coach Calhoun. 153 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: Roy Williams just retired. He has nine hundred three. Bob 154 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: Knight had nine hundred two. Bob Huggins has nine hundred. Man, 155 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: it feels like these guys are dinosaurs. Adolph Roup coach 156 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: forty one years, Dean Smith thirty six, Bob Huggins thirty nine, 157 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: Bob Knight forty two, Roy Williams thirty three, Jim Calhoun 158 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: forty three, Bay Hund forty five, Mike Shashevski forty six. Yeah, 159 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if the younger coaches like you set 160 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: sail and you go, I'm gonna coach for thirty years. 161 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: Good luck with that. Good luck with that. This program 162 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: is brought to you by the great folks at Dollars 163 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: Shape Club.

Seaton came over and we 172 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: were shooting our album covers. We uh, well, the French 173 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: kid was there weeks, our other cameraman doing behind the scenes, 174 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: and it was a closed set. You know when you 175 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: have nudity in a movie, there'll be a close set. 176 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Seaton came out and went to 177 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: the pool and uh, it wasn't as cold as I thought, 178 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: or maybe it seemed but how are you judging that 179 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: by thermometer? It was an interesting comment. Yeah, I mean 180 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was that cold. But is 181 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: that a compliment to Seaton? Oh well, Seaton was a 182 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: true champ. He jumped in. He was a true champ. Oh, 183 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: I see what you guys are talking about. I was 184 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: just talking about I was just talking about the temperature 185 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: of the water. It is odd that all the other 186 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: photo shoots that we've been in so far took about 187 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: three seconds or be like click, Okay, I think we 188 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: got I leave this one forty five minutes. I'm still 189 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: in the water. I know. I kept saying to the 190 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: French stand, I don't know if you really got the 191 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: angle that we need for this album cover. But Seaton 192 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: was a true champ there. And then after a while, 193 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I suggested that we all 194 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: get naked just to have Seaton feel good. It's just 195 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: it was just a very comfortable environent. Yeah. Yeah, you know, 196 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: when I've been on those Sports Illustrated swimsuit shoots, I mean, 197 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: I feel like I should have very little on when 198 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: I'm there when they're taking the pictures. But Seaton got 199 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: in the water yesterday and this this calendar is going 200 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: to be spectacular. It is, I think in a good way. 201 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: I mean it'll be something. Yes, Polly, are you considering 202 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: making this photo three D in the calendar? Any thoughts 203 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: of that like a hologram where it kind of moves 204 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: and moves with you. No, but but I I think 205 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: we captured it yesterday. I think I think so. I 206 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: think it's uh. I think we got a couple more 207 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: album covers now. These will be each month in the calendar, 208 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: and then we have rejected ones, the ones that we're 209 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: not going to be able to use. We have some 210 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: fun ones as well. Yes, McLevin, um, I would saying 211 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: I would have saved this idea. But I have a 212 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: brilliant business idea with the calendar. Okay, well, when are 213 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: you going to tell me? I don't know, I do 214 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: you want to tell me privately? Privately? But there's a 215 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: trend that is taking over sports right now that this 216 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: feels like I know where he's going. Okay, save it? 217 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: Oh is this an NFT that I think we're diving 218 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: into that territory a little bit? Oh, I for one 219 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: won't be buying that one first, one would somebody want 220 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: Seaton in my pool, and you would own that somebody 221 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: would want it. Just depends on how many people would 222 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: want it. Would your wife want it? I don't know. Yeah, 223 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: she doesn't find my things nearly as amusing as other 224 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: people do. These days. She's been around my she knows 225 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: my bits. There's there's a there's at one point, Seaton's 226 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: leaning on the fence looking out over my front yard 227 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have anything on. So I just said, man, 228 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: somebody's really enjoy the moment here. Very comfortable, very comfortable. 229 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: And then I realized, you know, I'm always looking to 230 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: see if my neighbors are around, because you know, they're 231 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: not used to seeing that at my house. And Seaton Seaton, 232 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I think we got it. I think 233 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: we got it. Now, let's go on, let's go on. 234 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: He let's taking safety. He was taking his time. Are 235 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: you sure we got it? Yeah, I think we got it. 236 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: And the French kid, French kid had an underwater camera 237 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: went in the water up to his you know, his shoulders, 238 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: trying to get the right shot. I mean it was there. 239 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: It was pretty impressive. Yes, m Jacques Cousto, Yeah, the 240 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: French kid, Yes, the undersea world of Jacques couste Yeah, 241 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: all right, pull question today. This is a silly one, 242 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: but I was curious about who is the best trash 243 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: talker on the Dan Patrick Show to you, Coach K, 244 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: Coach Calipari, or Coach Beheim. And keep in mind, all 245 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: three just love to get into with you. It's like 246 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: a basketball school yard. Coach K is subtle, like he's sneaky. 247 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: I think Calipari is more of a trash talker. Coach 248 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: K does it, but does it in a way where 249 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: you go, is he taking a shot at me? Coach 250 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: Cow I know, I know he's always coming and he's 251 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: always he's bringing it. That's that Pittsburgh mentality on him. 252 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: Beheim is not. He'll just say things like Okay, finally 253 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: got good enough fun be on your show. So it's 254 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: not trash talking. It's cavetching. I think is would be 255 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: the word there for the back row. Yes, mcclum, oh, 256 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: I was. I remember the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the 257 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: Year event where you introduced Coach K. Yeah, and I was. 258 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: We were all back there with you and Coach K 259 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: was being ferried around everywhere he saw you. He immediately 260 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: broke off from all the things he was supposed to 261 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: do and came and delivered three jokes he was dying to, 262 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: like just joke around with you. Yes, PAULI coach coach 263 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: Beyheim always sounds like, you know, when you're trying to 264 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: start your card, I won't turn over hoping it clicks 265 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: of those really cold winter mornings. Yes, we have another 266 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: pole hardest name to spell in sports. We might want 267 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: to save that because Paul thinks he could get some 268 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: of these, but it's really I mean, you know, Todd 269 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: is famous for winning spelling Besh controversial spelling Saturday, capital 270 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: ass um dentikompole is probably pretty tough.

It's watching Luca don 343 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: Chick last night, and I kept thinking, Okay, at some 344 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: point they have to take the ball out of his hands. 345 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: At some point you have to say, somebody else is 346 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: going to beat us. Never happened. Luca scored or assisted 347 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: on almost eighty four percent of the Mavericks field goals 348 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: last night, the highest percentage of any player in a 349 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: postseason game all time. Stead of the day stat of 350 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: the day, that past out of the day stat of 351 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: the day, here comes that what stat of the day? 352 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: So six field goals were not attributed to Luca don 353 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: Chick last night. Every everything else was either an assist 354 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: or a basket by Luca dun Check. He went for 355 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: forty two and fourteen and they beat the Clippers in 356 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Again. That's three times they've won there. Not 357 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: a great night for Kawhi Leonard. We never hear that 358 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: when Kwai is a bad game, We never hear anybody 359 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: criticize Kawai. It's always the bench or Rondo. Lebron has 360 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: a bad game, and we always hear about that. Why 361 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: is that Kawai didn't say anything? Kawai he was last night? 362 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: But Luka dun Check forty two and fourteen Sixers, Hawks 363 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: Jazz all advance though now Philadelphia takes on Atlanta. The 364 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: Nets will face the Bucks in the Conference semis, Yes, Paulie, 365 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: would it be fair to say Luca does it with 366 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: the least amount of help in the league. Is the 367 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: second best player of Porzingis on that team? Yeah, he 368 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: seems to play twice out of every three nights. He 369 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: had eight and six last night. Yeah, but Tim Hardaway 370 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: Junior might be the third best player. Yeah, Hi Highway 371 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: might be second. Yeah but even that, Tim Hardaway is 372 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: not a high end NBA player. He's good. Yeah, he's 373 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: a good player. Porzingis is just not consistent. It feels 374 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: like I know what I'm getting out of Hardaway more 375 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: than I do port Zingis. I just don't want my 376 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: seven foot four player playing on the perimeter. But that's 377 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: what you get with port zingis yeah, mclub. Part of 378 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: me is curious, is this more a referendum on how 379 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: great Luca is, which is great, I'm not a Luca 380 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: hater anymore, or how bad the Clippers are? Like the Clippers, 381 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: I mean, well, Luca be able to do this against 382 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: the say it's a jazz in the next round if 383 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: they advance. I'm I'm good a guess, yes, But I 384 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: feel like other teams in a seven game series are 385 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: gonna have strategies to stop him. And like you just said, 386 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: the Clippers, you said, don't have a strategy. How can 387 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: you not come up with something? Well, I'm guess seeing 388 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: Utah's team defense will be better than the Clippers team defense. 389 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: Because if you want to make it about one player, 390 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Kawi is what a two time defensive Player 391 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: of the Year, Paul George is supposed to be one 392 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: of the great two way guards. I mean, they have length, 393 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: they have size, They're more athletic than Luca. If you 394 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: watch Lucas, it's interesting to watch him and I don't 395 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: know what's in his mind. I'd love to know that, 396 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: but he takes these snapshots of where he is on 397 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: the floor and then now what can I do to 398 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: get to this point or do this? And I feel 399 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: like this happens with a lot of great players. I 400 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: thought Gretzky always took a snapshot behind when he was 401 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: always you know, maneuvering around the goal, behind the goal, 402 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: behind the net, like there was just a snapshot and 403 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: then they see it before everybody else sees it. Quarterbacks 404 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: do they just take a snapshot. And it feels like 405 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: Luca just takes snapshots where this is what I need 406 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: to do, this is when I need to do it, 407 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: how I need to do it, and he'll get there 408 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: a half a step, quarter of a step before you do. 409 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: But watching last night, he just kept getting the ball, 410 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: and I you know, you start to look at these 411 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: supporting casts and that's where you're going. Same thing with 412 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: the Lakers, like who has a better supporting cast? The 413 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: Lakers or the Clippers, Because if I give you a 414 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: D and Lebron, I give you Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, 415 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: then I give you everybody else. It just feels like 416 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: the supporting cast for both of these teams is not 417 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: at a high high level. That brings us though to 418 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: tonight's Game sixes it's a Nuggets Blazers Sons at the Lakers, 419 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: and the big question is the availability of Anthony Davis. 420 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: He has assessed that yesterday. Let's say as far as tomorrow, UM, 421 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: I obviously want to I'm still waiting again medically player, 422 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: you know what they're growing. I'm doing everything you know, 423 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: treatment ron o'clock and um, you know, it's just with 424 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: me all the time, you know, with the treatment, in 425 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: the exercises and the rehab stuff to us. Um, you know, see, 426 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: if you know, everything is great for me to go 427 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: on a voice tomorrow. I'm guessing that he'll be playing tonight. 428 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: And I thought that maybe they just they realized that, uh, 429 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, game five was going to be a sacrificial lamb. 430 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you guys take it and uh, you know, 431 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: hopefully we don't embarrass ourselves, which the Lakers did. But 432 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: now you go back home to game six and you 433 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: realize that you have to have him there for game 434 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: six and game seven. Can you build up enough of 435 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: a lead? Can you put him on a minute's restriction? 436 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: Can you can you do this in a scientific way 437 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: so you know you're going to have him in game 438 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: seven but this is then you you worry about this 439 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: the rest of the playoffs. These are injuries that don't 440 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: leave you. They linger, hamstring, ankle, groin. These linger. And 441 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: that's going to be the big question mark with the Lakers. 442 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, Joe l Embiid has a small meniscus tear. 443 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: Now it's just pain. He's got inflammation. You deal with 444 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: the pain. I think what's been lost in all to 445 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: the playoff performances so far is Kevin Durant. I mean, 446 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: let's remember where he was for five hundred days. He 447 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: wasn't able to play basketball, the Achilles tear. He's on 448 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: a tear like he's been unbelievable. And you talk about effortless, 449 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: there's nobody who does more and appears to do less 450 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: than Kevin Durant. He just is so smooth, and it 451 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: just feels like, what do I want to do? Like 452 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: imagine that luxury Like you're so good? You go, ooh, 453 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: what do I want to hear? I want to finger 454 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: roll pull up jumper. You know, I haven't taken a 455 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: three in a while. I feel like Kevin Durant orders 456 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: off the shooting chart menu. You know, when you're going 457 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: down the list you go appetizers fifteen footer, all right, 458 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: I'll get that. I'm gonna get that three pointer. M 459 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: How is that three pointer served? There'll be somebody in 460 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: your face. I can't. I don't like that. Yeah, I haven't. 461 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I haven't dunked in a while. He does it in 462 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: a way that is effortless, and there's not one where 463 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: you go in the playoffs they try to take away 464 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: one or two things, like we know you love to 465 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: do that, and you know you love to do that. 466 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna take that away from you. I don't 467 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: know what you take away from Kevin Durant, but I 468 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: do think what he's done, how he's done it has 469 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: been truly remarkable and probably probably undersold yes time. And 470 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: at that height, I don't know how you don't look 471 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: awkward or klutzi. If you go through all the history 472 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 1: of seven foot tall, they just look uncomfortable in their bodies. 473 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,239 Speaker 1: They can really only do one thing and dunk us 474 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: stay under the basket. It's just he's like gliding at 475 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: seven feet plus. Yeah, and he's got a great handle, 476 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: like that's that's the amazing part too, got a great handle. 477 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Celtics press conference yesterday. I know less. 478 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't understand this at all. I have one of 479 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: the great coaches, young coaches in the NBA who's now 480 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: going into the front office, Danny Ainge. I get. I 481 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: think he's probably toyed with this. You know, had health 482 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: issues a couple of years ago. Step down, step out 483 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: of the organization. But but how do I how do 484 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how you propose this? Hey, I got 485 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: I got a suggestion here, like who brings this up 486 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: to the owners of the Celtics. Hey, Um, Danny's gonna 487 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: step down, He's going to retire air quotes and Brad 488 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: is not going to coach anymore. He's going to be 489 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: the GM. So Brad is going to look for a 490 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: coach to replace him. Here is Brad Stevens on why 491 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: this move made sense. When I looked at the big 492 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: picture and Wick and I really talked about it made 493 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: sense like this is a great opportunity to give us 494 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: a good spark when we're losing. You know, one of 495 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: the best at his job in the world. Okay, so 496 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: you needed a spark. Has he done coaching at forty four? 497 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: He says he still loves coaching. I really have enjoyed coaching. 498 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: I loved coaching, and I've loved coaching the players both 499 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: at Butler and here. But this is the new challenge, 500 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: and this is what we need to do to hopefully 501 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: be even better. And you know, again, I think a 502 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: big part of that is is hopefully I can use 503 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: my experience as a coach to help not only find 504 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: a coach, but be a good, supportive, empowering person like 505 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: Danny has been to me of a coach. Okay, once again, 506 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: I don't get this. It almost feels like, hey, we're 507 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: paying you, We're going to put you in the front 508 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: office here, and I don't know how difficult it is 509 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: to be a GM in today's NBA. I know there 510 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: are jams who do it really, really well at a high, 511 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: high level. But okay, how many players salary cap? Okay, 512 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks? Okay, free agents? Who can 513 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: we sign? Okay? Now what I mean? They have two 514 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: great book ins. You got Tatum and Brown. You know 515 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: they've whipped on you know guards, you know Kemba. They 516 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: can't trade. Kyrie didn't work out for a couple of 517 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: different reasons. But I mean they had it, They had 518 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: the blueprint, they were the team, they were going to 519 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: have all the draft picks, they had a couple of 520 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: young stars who were still young stars, and then Danny 521 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: Age wants to step down, and then Brad Stevens wants 522 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: to step up. Bizarre, absolutely bizarre. And as Mannic said yesterday, 523 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: Sam Presty is as good a GM as we've had 524 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: in the NBA for a long long time. So wouldn't 525 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: you strengthen the organization by saying to Sam Presty, Hey, 526 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: you want to be the GM of the Celtics. He's 527 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: from Massachusetts, and you keep Brad Stevens as your coach. 528 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: That to me makes a lot more sense than we're 529 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: gonna put Brad in a position that he's never you know, 530 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 1: he's never been a part of any of this, and 531 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: then you got to hire a coach. Did Brad realize 532 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: that maybe these players he's taken these players as far 533 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: as he can. I mean, and if that's the case, 534 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: then okay, I understand that, but it doesn't make any sense. 535 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: There's something missing here. Yeah, point, is there any chance 536 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: that Brad Stephens thinks the real control is choosing the players, 537 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: not coaching the players. I could find a coach that 538 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: coaches like me and basically do both. So I control 539 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: the ingredients. Because Danny Angel was in total control of 540 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: that roster. Brad Stevens walked into it. Yeah, but I 541 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: don't want to. It'd be like saying, Okay, hey, you're 542 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: on the air, you're an anchor, but we're gonna put 543 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: you in management. Then you control all of the anchors. 544 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: I'd rather be an anchor. I'd rather be on the 545 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: air than I'm going to be in the front office 546 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: here and I'm going to control all the other anchors. 547 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like any fun. Yeah, I m club. Yeah, 548 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean, how many gms can we name? Like five? Maybe? Yeah, 549 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Darryl Moorey, Missio, Jerry. But there aren't a lot of 550 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: name I could name one more today, right, Steven Bright Stevens. 551 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: That's why I wonder if it's at emotion. The year 552 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: was Celtics fans the Mannix keeps painting it's such a 553 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: bad year. Well, was Danny ainge? Did they ask him 554 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: to leave? Was Brad Stevens demoted? I have no idea, 555 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, so Ange is stepping down and Brad Stevens 556 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: was burnt out from coaching. Okay, I got Mannix is 557 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: all fired up. He'll join us coming up next hour. 558 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: We'll come back.

I wanted to see my guy Trey Young 590 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: see if he could put away the Knicks, and he 591 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: did so. After a three pointer late in the game, 592 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: he decided to take a bow, which is what you 593 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: do when you're on Broadway, and he did that last night. 594 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: Trey Young talked about it after the game. Yeah, I 595 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: mean the bows I did I did in high school 596 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 1: at hit a game winner and leading up to his game, 597 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: knew I know where we are. I know it's a 598 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: bunch of shows around this city and I know what 599 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: they do when the show is over, so that's pretty 600 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: much what it was. So loved it, absolutely loved it. 601 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't need guys getting spit on, but I do 602 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: like the chanting. I do like a rivalry here that 603 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 1: maybe there's something there. Look, you know, jabbing back and forth, 604 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: got a little shippy there at the end. You expect 605 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: that Knicks are done for the year. And it was 606 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: a good story, but I think the Knicks got exposed. 607 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 1: It was a good story, not a good team. If 608 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: Derrick Rose is your best player, then you've got it 609 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: strengthened that roster. And Derrick Rose is a wonderful story. 610 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: But Julius Randall, I think that's where you got to decide. 611 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: Can you build around him? Is he the second is 612 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: he the third option? Here? RJ. Barrett has played well, 613 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: can you get a superstar to come to New York? 614 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: Can you get just a star to come to New York? 615 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: I think that New York has got some big questions. 616 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 1: Now they have money, you know, they have salary cap 617 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: relief there, But who's going to go there? Who wants 618 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 1: to go there? Did somebody see the atmosphere there and say, boy, oh, 619 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: that's what the garden looks like and sounds like when 620 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,919 Speaker 1: it rocked. Reggie Miller was on the call last night 621 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: and he called out Spike League. When Spike left the 622 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: building with about five minutes to go, We'll see if 623 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,439 Speaker 1: we can get that. But reg Regg called out Spike League. 624 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: Kevin Harland goes and and Spike layers leaving the bling 625 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: and then Reggie goes, oh, you can't do that. You 626 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,280 Speaker 1: can't do that. Yeah, Eton, But wasn't it just yesterday morning? 627 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: They we were like, yeah, lebronco leave early for treatment, 628 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: No big deal. Well, Spike going for treatment. I don't know, 629 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: maybe it's some mental health there with this. I don't 630 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: like either one. I mean, if Spike wants to leave, okay, 631 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: he's a he's your diehard fan. I don't like lebron leaving. 632 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: Would he have left if they were up by thirty, yes, 633 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: to be fair to Spike. And I don't know if 634 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: it was a restaurant thing. He had to grab a 635 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: quick hot dog, but he left him then they showed 636 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 1: him with about a minute a half after he ended 637 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: up back in his seat somehow, I don't know if 638 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: it got to him that it was a bad look 639 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: that they showed him on camera leaving or he had 640 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,479 Speaker 1: to step away for a few minutes. Yeah, that was good. 641 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: I love that Redd still, you know, digging at the 642 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: Spike League. I mean, Julius Randall's twenty six and I 643 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: and I do like him, I just don't love him 644 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 1: as being the focal point of a team. Got out 645 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: of the Lakers and blossomed with the Knicks. But at 646 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: twenty six, you know he can shoot three pointers. I 647 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: made one hundred and sixty three pointers this year, but 648 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: he's not a great shooter at least, you know. Can 649 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: I build around Julius Randall? And if I have Julius 650 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: Randall as my third option, RJ. Barrett is my second. Okay, 651 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: I gotta get a point guard in here. Can I 652 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: get a young point guard? Not Kyle Lowry who's thirty five? 653 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: Can I get a Can I get somebody dynamic at 654 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: that position? But I don't know how close the Knicks are. 655 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: I think the media wants them to be close, but 656 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they are. I mean, I picked the 657 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: Hawks to beat them, and the Knicks had the home 658 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: court advantage. Yeah, Polly, Knicks have like fifty million dollars 659 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: in cap room, and I think Knicks fans are scared 660 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: that they'll pull up like the nineties Knicks, the two 661 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: thousand Knicks, where they they'd spend a lot of money 662 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: on someone who's about to be old and injured, you know, 663 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: as soon as he's menisca surgery after he signs. Yeah, 664 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 1: like Mike Connolly's available from the No no no no, no, 665 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: no no no no good now, but not good three 666 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: years from now. Now. We can't can't do that. Chris 667 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: Paul No, no, Kyle Lowry no, But this is what 668 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: the Knicks always do. Like, man, how do we get 669 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,280 Speaker 1: a quick fix? Yeah? Mclovin, whose future is bright? Assist 670 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: was a pole option of the teams that are already 671 00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: out the Knicks, the Celtics, the Heat, the Way or 672 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. Those are the teams that are out now. 673 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: I would the original question is Knicks or Celtics, Who's 674 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 1: who's got a brighter future? I would say the Celtics 675 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: because Tatum and Brown are are better than Julius Randall, 676 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: more versatile all around. I mean they're a year younger, 677 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: I think than Julius Randall. But I would say the Celtics, 678 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: and I don't even know who's going to be the coach. 679 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: I've seen Jason Kidd, somebody that they're interested in hiring. 680 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: What kind of style you're going to play? How do 681 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: these players respond to that? Who wants to play for 682 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: that coach? Yeah, Mick loved But why did the Knicks 683 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,959 Speaker 1: feel more optimistic in a weird way? Well, I think 684 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: they haven't been relevant in decades, and you know, the 685 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: fans for the most part engaged. It was exciting. It 686 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: was something new for us. We've seen the Celtics go 687 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference finals. Have you seen them win 688 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: a title? Although it was a little while ago, but 689 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: this felt like a team that was on the brink 690 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: on the cusp of greatness multiple titles yes time. The 691 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: other problem is, unless last night was an admiration, they 692 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 1: didn't play with a lot of heart. They were turning 693 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: it over, they weren't boxing out, they weren't grabbing rebounds, 694 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: they were settling for outside tied. It felt like, if 695 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: you didn't know the seeds, it looked like the Knicks 696 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: were seven seed and the Hawks were a two seed, 697 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: and that the Knicks had like no business being out 698 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 1: there with them. At least the way last night went 699 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: peach them, where's your Knicks gear? It's back in the closet. Well, 700 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: it just didn't feel like to night with. I know 701 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: the fans stood up and cheered for them after the 702 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: game and gave them a little love that they got 703 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: further than they thought in four seed and they made 704 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: it to the playoffs. But that was pretty embarrassing and 705 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: to send Marv Albert out like that for his last 706 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: game of the garden. Remember told the New York Post 707 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: had a quote from you. They called you a TV 708 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: producer and huge, huge Knicks thing. That was Lebron James 709 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: gonna come to the Knicks and I was all excited 710 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: about the process. Now what do they mean by huge, nick? Ah, 711 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: you had to get that in. Well, I did have 712 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: a hot dog and a pound in my hand at 713 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: the time, so I don't know what they bet I'd 714 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: like to fake.
