WEBVTT - HOUR 1- Charles Barkley Aug 26, 2020 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.160 Sports Radio. It's a big day Wednesday, Dan and the 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.400 Dan Ns Dan Patrick Show. Glad to have you on board. 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.000 Charles Barkley will join us coming up here in about 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.960 twenty minutes. I think he's out of the prediction business, 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.520 but Chuck will join us. The Colts quarterback Philip Rivers. 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.279 Fritzie likes Philip Rivers now. He hated him when he 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.120 played for the Chargers. Yeah, are you going to tell 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:26.920 Philip Rivers when you get him on the phone, Hey, 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.680 I hated you for almost fifteen years. Probably not going 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.800 to do that, Okay. Our favorite NBA reporter Chris Haynes 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.280 will join us on the program from the Bubble. That'll 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.680 be in a little bit eight seven seven three d 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.120 P Show Email ANDRESSDPA Dan Patrick dot Com, Twitter handle 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.240 at dp show. We all know that offense sells. Sports 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.599 changed the rules to help scoring in the NFL. Did 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.880 it with passing baseball, did it with baseballs And although 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.960 they deny it, the NBA cut out a lot of 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.840 the physicality which has created more spread out games. Often 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.280 is the Rockets don't just spread the ball, they almost 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.080 ignore two point shots. And they hoist up as many 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.319 threes as possible, and right now tied with the Thunder 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.559 at two games apiece opening round playoff series. In Game four, 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.480 in a loss, they attempted fifty eight three pointers and 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.440 they passed up easy two point chances kicked it back out. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.760 This isn't new for them. When it works, it's unstoppable, 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.280 and when it doesn't work, it's unstoppable because they can't 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.880 stop chucking up threes. The Warriors won titles with their 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.039 version of this kind of offense. But the Rockets go 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.520 to the next level. If they go to the next level, 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.800 can it lead to a championship? And you've got basketball 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.360 coming up tonight. It'll be the Thunder and the Rockets, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.400 the Blazers, Lakers, Magic and the Bucks. The Nuggets came 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.120 back to beat the Jazz, and it's a three two 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.160 in that series. The Clippers rolled the Mavericks and they're 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.600 now leading three games to two. Yesterday, Reggie Miller, in 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.600 the final hour of the show said he needed probably 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:02.760 about sixty five points lean Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.840 and I said, well, I feel pretty confident that Kawai 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.720 can give you thirty. I wasn't sure about Paul George. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.400 But last night Paul George played well. And what was 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.840 interesting was not during the game and how he played, 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.079 but what he said after the game. The bubble got 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.280 the best of me. I was just in a dark place. 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.200 I really wasn't here. I checked out. So these past 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.399 couple of games, it was just it was just difficult. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.480 But shout out to people that stood behind me, that 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:36.880 was in my corner, the positivity, my teammates, my family, friends, everybody. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.840 Thank everybody that reached out to me. I was just 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.079 in a bad place and I found my way. I'm 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.920 back and I look forward to the rest of his run. Okay, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.920 I said, you know, the last couple of days, is 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.440 there something wrong with Paul George? Is there something wrong 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.800 physically with him? And as it turns out, maybe mentally 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.320 there has been. He was in a dark place, maybe 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.119 depression there, and came out of it last night. Now, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.360 granted they were kind of hollow numbers, but if I'm 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.359 Doc Rivers, I'm encouraged by what I saw that you're 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.080 taking shots, making shots. You know, they blow out the 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:17.280 Mavericks there, the Mavericks without Kristaps Porzingis and all. That's right. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:22.040 We had a bet last night. I almost forgot about that. Yes, McLevin, 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.320 I'm so psyched. Did Jamal very bed No? No, No, 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.280 we didn't do it, Jamal, we didn't do it, Jamal 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.320 Murray Bay. No, we did a Luca don chick because 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.520 I said Luca would not score over twenty nine points 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.600 last night, and all four Dannetts said that they would 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.360 take the over. You said he would score over, he 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:46.480 would not for the series. No again, So I got 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.080 the big German and Tyler they're making I think it's 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.960 Boston cream pies there. Yeah, so that'll be for the 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.600 latter part of the show. I don't want you having 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.839 you know, pie all over your face for an entire 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.240 hour there. But you guys lost a bet. It's content 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.920 and you'll have to pay up a little later on. Yes, Polly, 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.800 first of all, there's nothing that puts you in a 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.560 better mood than this. You came in, springs under your 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:15.600 feet and you walk today. Oh boys, I know I 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.880 did come in and I go pie guys, I mean, hi, guys, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.400 big smile in your face and ask you to borrow 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.360 some money that they just fly. I feel bad about 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.320 wasting pies though, like, I don't mind getting hit, but 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.159 the waste of I'm still eating mine. Well, we can 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.520 set it up where I put you over a table 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.920 and I hit you with it. Now, you guys, I'm 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.400 thinking you guys do self imposed pies, like you have 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.440 to smash your face kamikaze? Yeah? Yeah, what if we 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.760 have to get one of the other Danettes, like oh, 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.000 like Pawkie get Todd, or Todd can get Andrew? Or 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.640 do you want to do front row back row where 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.200 Seaton you do to Paulli and then Paully you do 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:59.520 it to Seaton. You know what's better Paully Fritzie didn't. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.520 That's tasty. Mm I like it, Toddy? Okay, with n 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.159 whatever you guys wanted. Okay, wait, do you want to 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.120 do it? That's fine. Do you want to blast Polly 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.400 in the face with a pie? You know, I'm happy 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.320 to you guys are looking for violence and broken noses. No, 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.560 I'm not looking for violence, no broken noses. Whoever you 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.120 assign me too. Okay. If you have Paully for violence 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:30.600 and broken nose, that's wrong with you. So it's just 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.440 a pie to the face. What's the reason for delegating 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:38.279 specific people to specific people. It's content you and Paully 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.560 have a little whatever you have, and I thought it 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.240 might be fun if Pauli's gonna let you go first. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.600 By the way, that sounds about. Yeah, he wants to see. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:54.159 He wants to see how you administer the po Can 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.560 we throw them at each other from like five feet away? 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.640 To add like so athletic ability comes into this too, 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.920 instead of having the right Well, I gotta make sure 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.720 you get hit because you guys might have some kind 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.599 of side deal where you go, Hey, Setan, I'm gonna 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.400 act like I throw. I mean, PAULI can't throw. I 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.240 could barely hit someone who's physically next to me. Yeah, 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.279 I mean Paul, he's got one good eye. Can't have that, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.120 all right. So that's a little bit later on today, Well, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.960 a poll question. You got a play of the day. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.719 I'm sure Ethan will come up with the stat of 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.080 the day as well. There was a moment last night. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.560 You know, the game was out of reach with the 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.680 Clippers and the MAVs, But there was a moment last 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.320 night where Marcus Morris stepped on Luca don Chick's ankle. 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.680 This just happened to be the sore ankle, this sprained ankle. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.880 Now it's hard to read into intent, but I'm not 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.680 going to give Morris the benefit of the doubt. If 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.400 this had been Paul George, then I would, Or Kawhi 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.960 Leonard then I would. But I'm not going to in 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.320 this situation here because if you look at Morris when 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.560 he approaches Luca, he's not even making a basketball play 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.640 because it's an out of bounds and he immediately it's 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.240 almost like he targets Luca don Chick and goes right 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.039 for the so of all the ankles he's stepping on, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.640 he steps on the bad ankle there, And what was 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.559 he doing around don Chick in the first place after 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.880 a basket and taking the ball out of bounds. I 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.240 don't know if, like the NBA needs to at least 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.320 say something because you've had the Montres Harold moment with 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.560 what he said to Luca don Chick. There was a 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.720 lot of chatter last night that the Clippers were saying 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.320 things back to don Chick. Look, I don't want this 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.000 to be Hey, let's tattletale and Luca don Chick, by 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.000 all accounts, looks like a grown man. He can take 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.960 care of himself. But the NBA has to worry about 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.080 this because you can't pick and choose when you're handing 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.240 out discipline, or you choose to look or listen the 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.880 other way. And I think that I hate saying it, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.960 but I felt it last night. If last night's game 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.400 was a close out game and the Clippers were acting 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.160 the way they were on the bench and then this happened, 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.200 you might have seen something where push came to shove. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.400 I think the commissioners got to at least, you know, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.600 send a message here that we're not going to put 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.560 up with this. Rick Carlisle got tossed from that game 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.160 last night because he thought that Morris did it on purpose. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.920 Not that he's going to say that he did it 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.160 on purpose, but it looked like he did it on purpose. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.200 Here is Luca after the game. I don't want to 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.720 talk to him. You know, He's just saying a lot 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.920 of best stuff to me all the game, you know, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.719 and just I don't want to talk to him. I'm 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.520 just gonna move on, you know, like I say. But 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.160 he's going to have their own opinion, and you know, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.880 I just hope he wasn't intentionate. And that's if that 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:50.000 was intentional, that's really have been. Yeah, in the NBA 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.520 at least has to get the Clippers attention, just to say, guys, 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.680 you know what, We're not going to put up with this. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.360 And you don't want to appear to just be protecting 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:03.800 Luca in this situation. But given what has happened already, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.800 remember when Luca got closlined and then Porzingis got a 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.240 technical there, you know where they grabbed him and spun 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.760 him around. So they've been and this is the book. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.920 You know, you're trying to be physical on him. You 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.800 want to see what he can take. You know, they 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.080 did this with Novitski when he first came in. They 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.960 used to make fun of him on the sidelines his 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.040 rookie year, calling him a lot of different things. Stuff 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.319 like this happens. But in the bubble where we get 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.240 to hear this and then we saw this, we saw 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.560 the actual footage of what Morris was doing to Luca 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.600 don Chick. In my opinion, it looked like he was 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.240 trying to target him. And if I'm the NBA, you 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.560 can't judge intent, But given the kind of temperature of 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.600 this series, I'd be judging intent right now. If I'm 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.520 commissioner Silver. Yes, Polly, if you're the NBA, and this 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.840 is an obvious question, it's like the NFL at quarterbacks, 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.480 don't you overprotect the stars? Especially with the ratings. You 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.480 can't have a game without Luca Dodgick presence and anything 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.760 to keep those stars on the court. You can ding 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.320 a guy like Morris and no one will miss a 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.000 beat if he's not in the game. Yeah, and you know, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.920 I'll ask Charles Barkley about it because I'm not here 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.600 to overly protect. But I do think that there are 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:19.760 moments where you're letting the guy who has less talent dictate. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.600 And that's the problem I have with the Clippers. Montrez Harrold. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.559 He makes a lay up and he celebrates like he 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:31.920 just won Game seven. You know Morris out there. You 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.160 got to have these guys, These are valuable guys to 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.280 win a championship, But you can't let that guy dictate 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.959 what is going to happen. It's like when you have 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.800 a goon in hockey and he all of a sudden 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.120 is going to dictate what happens to the star players. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.600 It's just not good for the sport. And I think 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.040 that that's something that any league should be looking out for, 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.600 not just the NBA. Yeah, McLevin, but it never goes away. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.320 I mean, Draymond Is, there's a Draymond on every title team. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.640 Marcus Small, but Draymond Green's gonna be Hall of Famer 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.560 when it's all said and done. Montrez Harold, nobody's gonna 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.600 care about his career. But I still think Draymond's legacy 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.680 might be got booted out of that finals for kicking 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.560 a guy, I know, being stupid. It cost him a championship, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.160 but that's the role he plays. He's at least talented. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.920 You know these other guys. You know, Draymond has made 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.480 All Star teams, Right, what do you think of Marcus Smart? 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.439 Because he's got he's effective, like he plays super hard, 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.680 but he's also seems kind of dirty. But I don't 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.920 know if he's a cheap shot artist. This is I'm 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.400 grabbing Luca goes to the hoop. This is how this started. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.000 And then they grabbed him and spun him around, and 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.120 then he said something and that's when Porzingis came in. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.600 And then Porzingis ended up getting tossed in a game 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.640 that had he not gotten tossed they would have won 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.959 in my opinion, But if you're gonna play hard basketball, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.480 you know, a playoff foul is different than a regular 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.199 season foul. Least it used to be. But that to me, 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.880 you accidentally step on the best player on the floor 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.600 on his injured an ankle, I don't think I'm gonna 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.880 give you. And it wasn't in a scrum, it wasn't 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:11.760 going up for a rebound or hey, I accidentally did it. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.360 To me, it felt like it was an opportunity. It 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.160 just did. Yeah, I'm club. Is that sports though? You 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.240 go after the injured part. I know it's like, I 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.360 mean in football, I can tackle, but I can't do 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.360 that in the NBA, where I'm going to go after 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.640 your ankle by stepping on it where you're not even watching, right, 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.880 But the history of the I mean football, you would 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.640 go if you knew the running back had an injured ankle, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.400 you'd step on his foot in the pile every time 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.120 you could. Right, it's a different, but it's football basketball. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.000 It is all in the seventies and eighties, I felt 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.600 like it was kind of like that. But if you 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.839 got caught, then that's where you have to answer. And 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.559 in my opinion. You know, the Clippers played great, played 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.600 great that should not be overshadowed. They played great, and 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.600 maybe they looked at what the Lakers did the other 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.520 night and went, you know, we better step our game 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.880 up really quick here because we could be in trouble 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.000 and they haven't played great. They're still getting their pieces together. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.920 But I'm not going to give Morris or Harold the 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.600 benefit of the doubt in these situations here because you 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.160 haven't earned it. And Doncheck has said this has been 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.319 going on. The officials need to police this because basketball 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.319 doesn't plae itself. Because you don't have somebody on Dallas going, hey, 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.360 I'm going to step on Imagine if somebody goes, you know, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.920 I'm gonna step on Kawai's ankle. Hey, I'm gonna be 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.760 dirty to Kauai. You don't want that. We want the 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.640 best players on the floor. I don't want some marginal 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.760 player out there dictating what could happen. Imagine if Luca, 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.840 you know, couldn't play in the next game. So we 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.680 get cheated because of that because you allowed this to happen, 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.280 or you didn't step in after the fact to say 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.960 we're not putting up with this nonsense anymore. But you 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.040 got games coming up tonight. You got the Lakers trying 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.000 to close out the Blazers, Thunder and the Rockets, and 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.400 that one is really interesting. Tonight Magic in a bux. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.240 The Greek Freak is the Defensive Player of the Year. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.160 He's also going to be the MVP. I don't know 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.400 how many times you've had Defensive Player of the Year 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.320 n MVP in the same season. But you're seeing something 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.720 special with the Greek Freak. I know he's not Musty TV. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.800 IS team's not musty TV. But he's turning in one 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.040 of the great seasons the last couple of seasons, and 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.240 I always want to see how you improve. He went 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.239 from averaging six points to twelve, to seventeen, to twenty 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.800 to twenty three, to twenty seven to almost twenty eight 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.680 to almost thirty. Every single year is scoring has gone up. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.960 Got to be a better free throw shooter. But I'm 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.240 nitpicking there, but that's pretty impressive with what he's done. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.360 By the way, the Next Great Podcast you have your 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:58.600 opportunity and the contest will close on Monday.

How doers get more done? Mclovin, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.840 You got a pole question before I get to Charles Barkley. Okay, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.360 just one kind of mean question. Would you rather win 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:43.080 MVP and not get to the finals or not win 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.879 MVP and get to the finals or win a championship? 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.720 This is the Jonas Pole basically Johannis Pole, Like, is 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.600 an MVP enough for this year if he doesn't get 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.480 get all the way to the finals or is that 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.760 going to be disappointing to would be disappointing, Yeah, because 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.919 he had a disappointing playoff last year where they do 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.040 and get to the finals. So yeah, I'd be disappointed. Hey, 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.199 one more quick one. Who's the guy whose star has 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.679 risen the most in the bubble, Jamal Murray, Damian Lillard, 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:14.159 Don Chich or Spider Mitchell. That's a good one. Jamal 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.679 Murray's getting there. The problem is as he plays in 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.240 the afternoon, so you only get to see his highlights, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.359 him and Donovan Mitchell. But I would say Damian Lillard, 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.200 we knew, don Chick, we knew. I'd say Jamal Murray 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.359 because Mitchell was Rookie of the Year, wasn't he? And 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.000 I think Jamal Murray. I keep looking at Jamal Murray 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.080 and I go, bam out of bio Devin Booker, and 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.560 I go, how did Kentucky only win one national title 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.920 with all the talent that Tyler Harrow? I mean, good god, 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.239 they have so much talent that went through there. All right, 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.400 let me get to Charles Barkley, who, of course it's 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.480 the star of TNT. Chuck, Good morning, How are you, 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.600 Good morning, brother? How are you doing? I'm doing okay. 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.800 I was worried about you last night. They were picking 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.800 on you, and I thought if Kenny was a little 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.240 bit bigger, you might have popped him. No, man, we 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.840 just have fun. You know. It's it's crazy right now, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:04.880 working every day so we're just trying to make sure 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.280 people watching and enjoying the show. The basketball has been good, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:15.159 But are you out of the prediction business foot today? 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.960 I'm gonna take some time off. I'm all for three 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.080 on guarantee, so I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna definitely take 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.240 some time off. Yeah, but you have to have something 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.439 attached to your guarantee, like if it doesn't happen, then 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:32.280 this has to happen. Well. The good thing about my guarantees, 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.320 you know, I'm not in one of those states where 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.920 I can bet on the on the app right now 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.320 for fan duel so and I'm not near a casino, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:45.360 so right now, right right now, there's just words. Well 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.159 that's probably a good thing. Uh. I did love the 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.000 Blazer's prediction just from the fact that you were so 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.760 strong with it and then Shaq broke your broom when 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.600 you said there is going to be a sweep. That 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.440 was good TV. Yeah, man, you know, the Blazers looks 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.320 like they've run out of gas. But the main thing 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.240 the Lakers are making shots. You know, they were the 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.280 worst three points shooting team in the NBA all season, 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.320 but the last three games they're making shots. I mean, 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.840 we knew A D and Lebron were gonna play great, 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.520 but now they're making shots the kids. Can they keep 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.439 doing it? I mean, because even though they're on a 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.919 hot streak, you know, the track records said they're the 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:28.640 worst NBA three spots shooting team in the NBA all season. Yeah, 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.320 I don't know if Portland is gonna solve everything for 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.399 the Lakers. To me, it was kind of the perfect 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.240 team to face because they don't play any defense. But 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.160 I don't know what's going to happen this next round. 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:43.080 I mean, Utah has been surprisingly good considering Conley left 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:47.720 the bubble, Bogdanovic had the risk surgery there, So I 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.520 don't know who. Who do the Lakers want to face 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:58.000 between Denver and Utah? Wait, don't they play the Rockets next? Reggie? 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:03.160 Reggie was saying yesterday that the Lakers facing Utah would 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:07.840 be great. Well, well, first of all, Utah, I can't 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.560 remember the brackets right off the top of my head. 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.920 Nick Levin checked that for me. Did see if Chuck 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:16.280 is right? Yeah, Lakers Rockets, Lakers Rockets okay or Lakers 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.399 okay okay? Yeah, and listen, it all depends on Westbrook 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.520 but they'd be favored over the Rockets. Listen that Denver series, 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.119 if dem plays in the defense, I picked Denver to 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:31.640 win that series. They played great last night, but um, 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.720
