Speaker 2: Yes, all right, got to play the day coming up
Speaker 2: stat of the Day poll question. Seaton has the honors
Speaker 2: before we dive into what the heck happened last night
Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 3: Well, we might as well start at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 3: If you are a Knicks fan. The most frustrating part
Speaker 3: of last night's ending was not that did okay h
Speaker 3: fouling on the three, not fouling on the other three
Speaker 3: or missing free throw.
Speaker 2: Well, if you make your free throws, the other stuff
Speaker 2: won't matter. If you're going to foul on a three,
Speaker 2: then really foul on a three, and don't let him
Speaker 2: get the shout out. Then the other three foul before
Speaker 2: he takes the three. I'm watching and I go, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: there's no reason to be crowding MAXI when he's shooting
Speaker 2: the three. No, no reason. Three doesn't kill you. And
Speaker 2: then Maxie comes and he gets to half court. Embiid
Speaker 2: sets a moving screen. MAXI then pull up logo bang,
Speaker 2: I can't let him shoot the three. I foul him
Speaker 2: as soon as he gets even remotely close to half court.
Speaker 2: Before the playoffs, there had been only three games in
Speaker 2: the last twenty five years that had seen a team
Speaker 2: recover from a deficit of at least five points inside
Speaker 2: the final thirty seconds and win the game. We've had
Speaker 2: two in the same series in the last ten days.
Speaker 3: Stead of a day, stant of a day, Statuta day,
Speaker 3: stand outa day.
Speaker 2: This is the stat of the Day stat of the Day,
Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America, the trading cards for
Speaker 2: the Dan Patrick Show. So for forty seven minutes and
Speaker 2: thirty seconds, it seemed like the Knicks had done more
Speaker 2: than enough to win the series and advance to the
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference semifinals. Too much, Tyrese Maxi in a good
Speaker 2: way for Philly, too much Jalen Brunson in a bad
Speaker 2: way for the Knicks in that final two minutes or so.
Speaker 2: But Tyrese Maxey it's his team now because Joe l ENBII.
Speaker 2: He was a detriment to the seventy six ers, certainly
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. But I have to give him
Speaker 2: credit though. He was least out there and nearly had
Speaker 2: a quadruple double and that includes turnovers. But he's not effective.
Speaker 2: They pulled him out. He's trying at least, and I
Speaker 2: think Nick Nurse did the right thing that as great
Speaker 2: as he can be, he's battling an awful lot to
Speaker 2: be out there and Tyrese Maxey was like, I got this,
Speaker 2: I'll take over here. But the back and forth between
Speaker 2: Maxie and Brunson certainly a whole lot to watch. And
Speaker 2: now you got Thursday night back in Philly nine o'clock,
Speaker 2: who you got? Can you just wash this away? If
Speaker 2: you're Philadelphia, do you say, hey, Okay, that game is over,
Speaker 2: let's focus on this game right now. And if you're
Speaker 2: the Knicks, you definitely go. I don't know, we've moved
Speaker 2: past that. We're not even talking about it. Here's the
Speaker 2: Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeaux. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 4: Tough way to lose because you know, you get up,
Speaker 4: you know, six eight, and then you know, we had
Speaker 4: a couple of turnovers and we got to just you know,
Speaker 4: be better, play tougher with the lead, use good judgment,
Speaker 4: fourth quarters, different understand what you know, the difference, so
Speaker 4: we can do better and we will.
Speaker 2: I just don't know why Mitchell Robinson was close to
Speaker 2: tyre SPAXI, you're I mean, he wants you in the air,
Speaker 2: he wants to get found a four point play or
Speaker 2: at least he's going to be shooting three free throws.
Speaker 2: And then the worst case scenario gets you in the
Speaker 2: air and then he bumps you, draws contact and you
Speaker 2: make three. Either just be there and contested.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 2: You're six nine, six ' ten. It's okay. It doesn't
Speaker 2: kill you. A four to four point play now, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, we got a game. And then as
Speaker 2: he dribbling up and I thought, okay, they're going to
Speaker 2: fail him. So you're down three, they're down three just
Speaker 2: fouling two free throws, you get the ball, best case
Speaker 2: scenario for you. Okay, he still made two free throws,
Speaker 2: we got the ball. We're still leading by one. You
Speaker 2: can't let him have and I know when he took
Speaker 2: the shot, I was like, well, he's got like six
Speaker 2: seconds left. But it was an open look for him
Speaker 2: because if he got any closer than maybe they were
Speaker 2: going to foul or he's going to get a more
Speaker 2: contested three. But you're going to take a thirty three
Speaker 2: foot jumper or heave whatever it was. And this was
Speaker 2: a play. Here's the seventy six ers head coach Nick Nurse.
Speaker 6: Well, you know we had to get up the floor
Speaker 6: quick and get a three ball up right. I'm glad
Speaker 6: that we didn't mess around and try to keep working
Speaker 6: for something or whatever. We had a little little play
Speaker 6: called that has a counter to it, and one of
Speaker 6: the options is him just pulling up. Now, I know
Speaker 6: that was a deep one, but he raced it up
Speaker 6: there and took his chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a play, and Embiid sets the pick
Speaker 2: at half court. He knew that he was going that.
Speaker 2: Maxi had made up his mind. You set the pick,
Speaker 2: I'm shooting it. And the Knicks were slow to respond
Speaker 2: to that with the pick and Maxi pulled up and
Speaker 2: hit it. And the way he was out of his
Speaker 2: mind in the last fourth court, in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't let him have the ball. That's
Speaker 2: the only guy I worry about on the floor. That
Speaker 2: was it. I didn't worry about Embiid, no one else.
Speaker 2: And you can't let him have the ball. And if
Speaker 2: you do, you must foul him. Make him make two
Speaker 2: free throws. But man, the pressure got to the Knicks.
Speaker 2: Josh Art free throw. O, Man, it got tight. You
Speaker 2: short that's nerves, Yes, sure, yes, when you short it,
Speaker 2: that's nerves. And I was like, whoa, It got real
Speaker 2: in the garden. But give credit to the sixers. I
Speaker 2: thought they were dead but then go back to Game
Speaker 2: two where I thought that the Knicks were dead and
Speaker 2: then they had the miraculous comeback. But last night, back
Speaker 2: and forth. You got celebrities in the garden. Patrick Ewings there,
Speaker 2: John Starks is there, you had all the stars there,
Speaker 2: Ben Stiller's there, and then all of a sudden, Wait,
Speaker 2: what what happened? Wait, we're going into overtime? No, no,
Speaker 2: we got this, we got Wait were the Knicks fans
Speaker 2: remember me? Yeah? But man, oh man, oh man, you
Speaker 2: got a lot of guys. I think four sixers played
Speaker 2: over forty seven minutes here, and what can you expect
Speaker 2: out of Joe Ellenbiid as the series goes back to Philadelphia? Yes, Mark,
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 7: The Knicks and Game six they got another home game.
Speaker 7: I think they'll get rid of it.
Speaker 2: Are they going to have another home game in Philadelphia? Oh?
Speaker 5: Easily?
Speaker 2: Wait, you don't think the Sixers are Now the fans
Speaker 2: are like, you know what, maybe we don't sell those
Speaker 2: tickets to.
Speaker 7: The Knicks, but if the Knicks fans are willing to
Speaker 7: pay double, then I'm selling O's And I'm gonna watch
Speaker 7: in the Bessie in the house and that's on my living.
Speaker 2: Room and then the Oh, by the way, the other
Speaker 2: two games it went great finish with the Cabs and
Speaker 2: the Magic, great finish. So now Cabs up three to
Speaker 2: two in the Magic and the Bucks without their stars
Speaker 2: beating the Pacers. Huh. But here's the thing, and we've
Speaker 2: seen this before. Star player goes down or star players
Speaker 2: go down, the other guys go, hey, I get to shoot.
Speaker 2: Bobby Portis is like, yeah, hey, I used to be
Speaker 2: a good scorer. You know, they all used to be something.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden you realize they're guys
Speaker 2: who will played better than you. And now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you're going, hey, I might get fifteen twenty
Speaker 2: shots here. And the Pacers are like, they don't have Dame,
Speaker 2: they don't have Giannis, No need to worry. Until you
Speaker 2: got to worry and give credit to Milwaukee. I did
Speaker 2: not see that when coming. All right, what other poll
Speaker 2: questions do we have their seaton?
Speaker 3: Well, if you were Lebron James, which would.
Speaker 2: Be more important to you.
Speaker 3: Playing on a winner or playing with your son?
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna save this for a little bit
Speaker 2: later on, but Lebron did put out a tweet last
Speaker 2: night that he's heard the reports about his future, and
Speaker 2: he said it last night. He'll say it again that
Speaker 2: he doesn't know what he's going to do. He's just
Speaker 2: going to spend time with his family and friends. When
Speaker 2: I know after speaking with family, my counsel as well
Speaker 2: my representation. I'll let you guys know. The only thing
Speaker 2: I thought of was WOJE put out that Lebron says
Speaker 2: playing with his son not as important, Okay, And the
Speaker 2: only thing I thought with that is who leaked that?
Speaker 2: Because I would think Lebron pretty tight quarters there. How
Speaker 2: many people know that information? And did Lebron want that
Speaker 2: information out? Is That's what I thought. Hey, I think
Speaker 2: you know, whatever I do or stay with the Lakers
Speaker 2: or it's not dependent on playing with my son. How
Speaker 2: did that get out? Unless Lebron wanted it out?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 2: Phone calls, we'll get to those coming up. Any other
Speaker 2: poll questions, We'll get to the Lebron topic a little
Speaker 2: bit later on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, we got a few others. I think we're
Speaker 3: going to jump right off with the Knicks though, and
Speaker 3: so and everybody's hot on.
Speaker 2: All right, by the way, Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclahaney,
Speaker 2: the actor hot Yes, welcome to Wrexham. That's a new
Speaker 2: season for them, So we'll talk to those two coming
Speaker 2: out a little bit later on show. Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: I've done a really good job with that and the
Speaker 2: fact that the team is winning. You know, it was
Speaker 2: a novelty and the locals wanted to know if those
Speaker 2: guys really cared about their soccer club. And then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they do care, and we'll ask them
Speaker 2: about that that they didn't know anything, they didn't know
Speaker 2: what they were doing, and all of a sudden, you
Speaker 2: buy a soccer club. Well, okay, you're buying something, but
Speaker 2: that's that means everything to that community. They want to know,
Speaker 2: do you really care about this soccer club?
Speaker 3: And it's crazy too because they're just about they're like
Speaker 3: on the brink of going out of business, and here
Speaker 3: come these dudes that are like, we're gonna pump all
Speaker 3: this money into it, and they're still like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if we trust you though.
Speaker 2: NBA tonight, the Heat are getting fourteen against the some
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Maybe we could find out when's the
Speaker 2: last time a team was you know, double digit underdogs
Speaker 2: in just about every game. It feels like because I
Speaker 2: think it's been like ten and a half, ten and
Speaker 2: a half now fourteen against the Celtics, who are without
Speaker 2: Christops Porzingis. It says for a couple of games the
Speaker 2: MAVs they are giving three to the Clippers tonight. In
Speaker 2: case you're wondering over under for Luca is thirty two
Speaker 2: and a half. I don't know if I guess Kawhi's
Speaker 2: not playing again. They should just let us know when
Speaker 2: he's playing, because then I'm like, oh, Kawhi's playing, I
Speaker 2: just assume he's not playing. Man. They're saddled with that contract.
Speaker 2: Didn't they just extend him. Did he get one of
Speaker 2: those five for two hundred and fifty million? Oh? I know, yeah, Paul, I.
Speaker 8: Think he got three years, one hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 8: Oh so, and every penny is guarant it's.
Speaker 2: Still fifty million dollars a year.
Speaker 8: Yeah. So he's under contract for the next three seasons
Speaker 8: at fifty million dollars and there's no way out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, Marv.
Speaker 7: They needed to start a kind to be there when
Speaker 7: they open up their new arena in Englewood.
Speaker 5: Hey, he's kind of here.
Speaker 2: He'll be there for the game all Yeah, he's going
Speaker 2: to be there. He'll be on the cover of the
Speaker 2: Media Guide, ribbon cutting. Yeah, it's going to be in
Speaker 2: street clothes, smiling. Yeah. Yeah, that k me. It ain't
Speaker 2: getting better unless you get a new one. If you
Speaker 2: get a new one, you're not playing basketball anymore. All Right,
Speaker 2: we'll take a break. Tim Bontemps, he covers the NBA
Speaker 2: for the Mothership. He was there at the garden last night.
Speaker 2: How does the how do the New York Knicks recover
Speaker 2: from this? Going back to Philly? What can we expect
Speaker 2: out of Joe lmb And He covers the NBA so
Speaker 2: we can talk to him about a couple other topics here,
Speaker 2: including Lebron who says I haven't made a decision yet
Speaker 2: on if he's going to stay opt out, wants his
Speaker 2: son to play? Is he going to go where his
Speaker 2: son's drafted? So a lot of that is kind of
Speaker 2: in a state of flux. Here, take a break here,
Speaker 2: just getting started hour one on this Wednesday Dan and

Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxi scored seven points in the final twenty five
Speaker 2: seconds of regulation, finished with forty six as the seventy
Speaker 2: six ers surprise the New York Knicks in overtime. Tim Bontemps,
Speaker 2: ESPNNBA reporter covering the series late night at the Garden
Speaker 2: early morning on The Dan Patrick Show. Tim, thanks for
Speaker 2: joining us. How would you described the atmosphere pre game
Speaker 2: or right before tipoff?
Speaker 10: I mean, Dan, I would say from then up until
Speaker 10: the time out twenty eight point nine seconds ago, there
Speaker 10: was a NonStop party at the garden. It was the
Speaker 10: first time in twenty five years, if they had won
Speaker 10: the game, that the Dicks had closed out a team
Speaker 10: at home in the playoffs since Game six of the
Speaker 10: conference finals in nineteen ninety nine when the last went
Speaker 10: to the finals. Everybody there felt like it was going
Speaker 10: to happen last night. And when deucemit Bride hit that
Speaker 10: jumper to go up six with twenty eight point nine
Speaker 10: seconds ago, Nick Nurse called timeout, and the entire time out,
Speaker 10: everybody in the building was on their feet. The press
Speaker 10: box was shaking, People are going crazy. Seemed like the
Speaker 10: whole thing was in the bag. And then when the
Speaker 10: game ended and Tyres had hit those shots and it
Speaker 10: went to overtime, the only noise in the building was
Speaker 10: the PA system through the entire three minute time out
Speaker 10: until overtime started, because everybody wasn't even doing They just
Speaker 10: all look like John Stewart in that picture he tweeted
Speaker 10: out of him with Tyre's Maxy going by him, of
Speaker 10: everyone just standing there with their mouths open, going how
Speaker 10: did we just see this happen again? In reverse from
Speaker 10: what happened in game two ten days earlier.
Speaker 2: How do you explain this loss?
Speaker 10: I don't know how I explained the series, Dan, Honestly,
Speaker 10: the two teams are separated by two points. Over five games,
Speaker 10: the Sixers have outscored the Knicks by two. Every game
Speaker 10: has been close, every game has had something crazy happen
Speaker 10: in it. When Tyre's hit the first shot, I actually tweeted,
Speaker 10: is there a world where this could happen again? Because
Speaker 10: we had literally just seen the Knicks come back from
Speaker 10: down five with twenty eight seconds to go. And to
Speaker 10: put this into context for people, there's been there had
Speaker 10: been three times in the last twenty five years that
Speaker 10: a team had come back from down five and the
Speaker 10: final thirty seconds and won a playoff game. And then
Speaker 10: it's happened twice in the same building in the same
Speaker 10: series in ten days. Sums up how absurd the series
Speaker 10: has been. And as a Neutron, is glad that it's
Speaker 10: still going on because it's been incredibly fun to cover,
Speaker 10: and I'm excited for Game six and Philly tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: But I'm looking at the Knicks and we can all
Speaker 2: agree they're will coached. But I would think you would say,
Speaker 2: you know, can test the three. Don't try to block
Speaker 2: the three, right, Like, that's all, that's just common sense.
Speaker 2: There can test, but don't don't, you know, encroach on him,
Speaker 2: don't get close to him, don't let him draw contact
Speaker 2: and then foul him. You know, when he's coming up
Speaker 2: and he can take a three, he makes two, we
Speaker 2: get the ball. We're still going to win this game. So,
Speaker 2: like which coaching decision, I don't know if it was
Speaker 2: a coaching decision. I'm assuming these things are said in
Speaker 2: the timeout. Yeah, of course.
Speaker 10: I mean, look, if you're going to have a game
Speaker 10: and like this, a lot of things have to go wrong.
Speaker 10: So Mitchell Robinson should have just let tyres Ma actually
Speaker 10: shoot a three. Basically, right, you're up seven with twenty
Speaker 10: eight seconds go. Who cares if you even makes a three.
Speaker 10: He's got they have to score three times in theory
Speaker 10: to come back and get in the game. So Tyre,
Speaker 10: you know, he hit, they're up six, he fouls them,
Speaker 10: he makes the foul shot. Then they come down, they
Speaker 10: trap Josh Hart, they foul him. Josh Hart's just got
Speaker 10: to make two free throws. He splits the free throws,
Speaker 10: just like last week Kyle Lowry split the free throws
Speaker 10: to forty five seconds ago set up all the other craziness.
Speaker 10: Then Timms was yelling for the Knicks to foul. But
Speaker 10: I give them some sympathy on that because Tyrese is
Speaker 10: super fast, is coming flying up the court and frankly
Speaker 10: he pulled up from forty feet and hit an insane shot.
Speaker 10: But and even then, the Knicks had the ball with
Speaker 10: eight seconds left, chance to win the game. And the
Speaker 10: underrated thing and everything that went on is Janaln Bruntsey
Speaker 10: gets isolated on Nick Batoomb and Batum makes a fantastic
Speaker 10: play and blocks his shot clean, doesn't foul him, doesn't
Speaker 10: come close, and make sure that the Knicks don't get
Speaker 10: the game winner. Baron sends the game to overtime. And
Speaker 10: actually like the fact that Tips did call time out there,
Speaker 10: because with all the craziness that was going on, they
Speaker 10: had a lot better chance of getting a clean look
Speaker 10: just letting Jalen take the ball and go. So yeah, look,
Speaker 10: the Nick's had a lot of things they would like
Speaker 10: to take back in that stretch, but they even came
Speaker 10: out in overtime and hit Jalen brunsonhead five or six
Speaker 10: points in the first minute and they were up five
Speaker 10: or six, it looked like they were going to recover
Speaker 10: and win the game, and the Sixers just found a
Speaker 10: way to fight back again and somehow extend the series.
Speaker 2: Joe ellenbi It's tough to even say this with a
Speaker 2: guy who had a triple double, but I give it
Speaker 2: was kind of a hollow triple double, nearly a quadruple
Speaker 2: double with turnovers there. It felt like he was a
Speaker 2: detriment to this team late in the game. But I
Speaker 2: have to be respectful of what he's playing through to
Speaker 2: even get to this point. So what do you expect
Speaker 2: out of Joe Ellenbiid as the series goes back to Philly.
Speaker 10: I expect the bay Fell is going to be quite
Speaker 10: tired because he's only got one day between these games.
Speaker 10: He was very tired after the game last night. I mean,
Speaker 10: he played forty eight and it's and look, he had
Speaker 10: a horrible stretch in the fourth quarter where Nick Nurse
Speaker 10: again left him in to start the fourth quarter. Think
Speaker 10: that's a mistake. When Embiid gets tired, he starts to
Speaker 10: make a lot of careless decisions with the ball. He
Speaker 10: was flinging the ball over the place. To your point,
Speaker 10: almost had I think he had nine turnovers in the game,
Speaker 10: But look, the guy's playing through he's coming back from
Speaker 10: this knee injury. He's dealing with Bell's palsy, which people
Speaker 10: don't know means that basically half your face is frozen.
Speaker 10: Not a permanent thing, but it's obviously not ideal for
Speaker 10: somebody trying to play basketball that their eye doesn't close
Speaker 10: all the time. And you know, he's also he had
Speaker 10: a migraine yesterday, and he's just a huge guy that's
Speaker 10: not used to playing forty eight minutes in games. So look,
Speaker 10: he thought he played terribly yesterday, he was the first
Speaker 10: person to say that, but he was able to summon
Speaker 10: it and make three fantastic defensive plays in the final
Speaker 10: ninety seconds of overtime that helped clinch the game for Philly.
Speaker 10: And I think the biggest thing after the game when
Speaker 10: I talked to him was for years, Joel has sort
Speaker 10: of jokingly lamented he hasn't had a Jamal Murray next
Speaker 10: to him, right, it's always been jokichen Embiid who's the
Speaker 10: better player. And he's always said, look, I don't have
Speaker 10: a guy that's going for fifty in playoff games. And
Speaker 10: there's also been a lot of debate about what his
Speaker 10: future is going to be over the years. Where is
Speaker 10: he going to play? Is he going to be in Phillies.
Speaker 10: He's got to go somewhere else. I would say after
Speaker 10: this series, and especially after Game five, I think all
Speaker 10: that stuff could be put to bed. And Joel Embiid,
Speaker 10: who has loved play with Tyres MAXI has been his
Speaker 10: biggest supporter for years now, is very happy to have
Speaker 10: a young, precocious superstar next to him who's putting up
Speaker 10: forty six at the Garden in Game five, reprising the
Speaker 10: role of Reggie Miller, and you looking like a guy
Speaker 10: that should be able to play with him for a
Speaker 10: long time to come and be, frankly, a pretty perfect
Speaker 10: partnership for the Sixers.
Speaker 2: Tim Bontemps covers the NBA ESPN NBA Reporter covering the
Speaker 2: seventy six Ers and the Knicks. Can either of these
Speaker 2: teams go to the NBA Finals?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I think they can, Dan, but that's more because I
Speaker 10: think there's some chance that the Celtics could falter, rather
Speaker 10: than I would say they're going to be favored to
Speaker 10: get there. Whoever wins this series should win the next round.
Speaker 10: I mean, obviously the Bucks are if they're able to
Speaker 10: come back and beat the Pacers after the Pacers somehow
Speaker 10: let them get back in the series last night, We'll
Speaker 10: see where their health status is at. But the Knicks
Speaker 10: or Sixers, I think would be favored pretty clearly to
Speaker 10: beat the Bucks or Pacers in the next round. Then
Speaker 10: you're in the conference finals and you're one your four
Speaker 10: wins away from the finals. And as we saw in
Speaker 10: Miami the other night, Christas Porzingis messes up his calf,
Speaker 10: that's a tricky injury. He could be out for a
Speaker 10: while and he's a critical part of what Boston does
Speaker 10: Without him on the court. They get back to the
Speaker 10: team they've been the last few playoffs, which is very
Speaker 10: isolation heavy, taking a lot of threes, not a lot
Speaker 10: of other options on offense. And while that certainly should
Speaker 10: be good enough for Boston to win, it's not a guarantee,
Speaker 10: as we saw last year with Miami's, we've seen in
Speaker 10: the past with Celtics, and especially if they play one
Speaker 10: of either a Philly team that's gone through the fire
Speaker 10: a couple rounds and maybe exercise and Demons, or this
Speaker 10: nixt team that is just big and physical and super
Speaker 10: tough mentally and plays really hard. Both of them I
Speaker 10: think could give Boston a lot of trouble inside and
Speaker 10: potentially make that a very competitive series.
Speaker 2: Before I let you go, everybody seems to have an
Speaker 2: opinion on Lebron. Lebron says he doesn't have an opinion yet,
Speaker 2: but somehow that information got leaked, which I'm thinking it
Speaker 2: got leaked by Lebron that it doesn't matter playing with
Speaker 2: his son. Your thoughts on Lebron's future what makes the
Speaker 2: most sense?
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't think there's really much the debate
Speaker 10: whether it makes sense or not. I think he's clearly
Speaker 10: going to be with the Lakers. I'd be very surprised
Speaker 10: if he's elsewhere. And look, the Lakers have spent the
Speaker 10: past few years, you know, not putting all that good
Speaker 10: of a team around Lebron. They've let a lot of
Speaker 10: talent out the door. They lost to cacp two years
Speaker 10: in a row. They could have had Coatavious Cabo Pope's
Speaker 10: stay on their team. They traded him in the Russell
Speaker 10: Westbrook trade, which is one of the worst trades in
Speaker 10: recent memory. They could have kept Alix Caruso and did
Speaker 10: it You know they've made a lot of personnel mistakes.
Speaker 10: They could have got Mike Conley in the trade they
Speaker 10: got the ends of the Russell Mike Conley would have
Speaker 10: been a huge difference maker for the Lakers. So I
Speaker 10: think what makes the most sense for Lebron is probably
Speaker 10: to stay with the Lakers and for the Lakers to
Speaker 10: make some smart personnel decisions this summer and upgrade the
Speaker 10: roster around him, because if you have him and Anthony Davis,
Speaker 10: that should be good enough to be a contender in
Speaker 10: the West. And instead, as we've seen over the last
Speaker 10: couple of years, the Lakers are still a clear level
Speaker 10: below Denver. And as you look at Minnesota in Oklahoma
Speaker 10: City and these other younger teams in the West, they're
Speaker 10: only going up and the Lakers are either flat lining
Speaker 10: or going the other way.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Save travels to Philly. Thank you, Tim, Thanks Dan.
Speaker 2: That's Tim bond Temps covering the NBA for the Mothership
Speaker 2: and he'll be going to Philly Thursday night, game five.
Speaker 2: Give me an idea of what it's going to cost
Speaker 2: to get into the seventy six ers next game in Philly.
Speaker 8: Okay, this is vividseats dot Com. You you can. The
Speaker 8: get in price is a one hundred and fifty eight dollars.
Speaker 8: That's the best price. Those are nosebleed seats. But right
Speaker 8: now there's I'm looking at least a couple thousand tickets
Speaker 8: are available for sale. Right now, over two thousand fans
Speaker 8: are shopping for tickets. Those are likely Knicks fans now
Speaker 8: Game seven if it goes back to the Knicks at
Speaker 8: MSG the get in price, the lowest get in price
Speaker 8: is four hundred and fifty two dollars. How much for
Speaker 8: court side seats? Game six seventy six ers Nicks?
Speaker 2: Well, are those for sale? Because it feels like those
Speaker 2: are celebrities.
Speaker 8: I've got Yeah, they mostly are saved for celebrities, but
Speaker 8: there are some floor seats in the baseline behind the basket.
Speaker 8: Two baseline seats cost one five grand. Pretty close, it's
Speaker 8: forty four hundred.
Speaker 2: Okay two. I was wondering about this as I'm looking
Speaker 2: at the celebrities there the Knicks game. At what point
Speaker 2: can you tell all a celebrity they're not as big
Speaker 2: of a celebrity as they once were. Therefore, somebody else
Speaker 2: might be taking their seat where you don't get front
Speaker 2: row because somebody. That's somebody's job. When somebody's now you
Speaker 2: don't have John Stewart doesn't call, you know, his assistant
Speaker 2: calls or his agent manager calls. But at what point
Speaker 2: can you say that in a delicate way of somebody
Speaker 2: court side or used to sit court side. You know,
Speaker 2: we can't have you know what, all the seats are
Speaker 2: taken up. Hey, we have some seats up in the
Speaker 2: loge area. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like we have tickets for you and then
Speaker 3: when you get there you find out where they are.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, you know, I don't know if we
Speaker 2: have any court side left because that's where you now.
Speaker 2: They have a special green room for the court side people.
Speaker 2: You get to go back and have drinks and you know,
Speaker 2: it's a it's a little fraternity back there if you go,
Speaker 2: oh now I go back in the green excuse me?
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, no, no, I'm always in here.
Speaker 5: M not tonight?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Paul right.
Speaker 8: And you could get court side for the Hornets game,
Speaker 8: but you can't get court side versus the Celtics. Like
Speaker 8: it's like a sliding scale of a tougher opponent, harder
Speaker 8: to get court side. We had David Spade the comedian
Speaker 8: on a couple of years ago, and you asked him
Speaker 8: about this, and he said, it's like a litmus test
Speaker 8: of where your career is, because if you call and
Speaker 8: you don't get a callback, you might be between series.
Speaker 8: Then you get a new hit series and now they're
Speaker 8: calling you to appear at Lakers games, or you breeze
Speaker 8: right into front row seats.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember when we were going to get tickets
Speaker 2: to the knixt game, and then I wasn't going to go,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden we suddenly didn't have
Speaker 2: tickets to the Knicks game. PAULI has the email correspondence there.
Speaker 8: Very nice gentlemen said he had five seats for us too.
Speaker 8: It was a regular season good next game. It was
Speaker 8: during the Carmelo Anthony era, okay, and I said, oh great, great,
Speaker 8: and he was going back and forth and the last
Speaker 8: email was just want to assure you that Dan is
Speaker 8: with you, guys, correct like he's doing his best. He'll
Speaker 8: likely be there, and then they went radio silent, He's
Speaker 8: gonna be there in spirit.
Speaker 3: Which it wasn't like we asked for five court sides seats.
Speaker 3: It was just like any five seats in the building.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: It's not like I went from you were going to
Speaker 2: be in the lows, then we were kicked up to
Speaker 2: the upper reserves.
Speaker 5: There's no seats at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's odd.
Speaker 3: Oh so Dan, well Dan needs to pick them up personally.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know, and then I go, Okay, I'll give
Speaker 2: you guys my driver's license. You can pick up the
Speaker 2: tickets there, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 7: For court side seats, So save you're Tracy Morgan and
Speaker 7: Timothy Shallomey who's on fire right now, says hey, can
Speaker 7: I get a court side seat? Do you go to
Speaker 7: Tracy Morgan or do you just go to one of
Speaker 7: those other celebrities that have him like he's a staple
Speaker 7: at the garden. Yes, Do you go to somebody else
Speaker 7: and say no, not Tracy, not Spike, not Ben's, not
Speaker 7: Chris Rock.
Speaker 5: You just got some of the sometimes guys.
Speaker 2: Well, Timothy Chaloma is going to get tickets. He'll be
Speaker 2: courtside last minute. Even Yes, he could walk in, you
Speaker 2: know and just say hey, uh sorry, uh got a
Speaker 2: seat for me? Yes, we do, Yes, we do. Uh
Speaker 2: you get up, yes, Paul, that seems.
Speaker 8: Like a fascinating job. The person who is the last
Speaker 8: line of defense for Nicks or Lakers tickets.
Speaker 2: It sounds like it would be an interesting job because
Speaker 2: you get to talk to the person who talks to
Speaker 2: the celebrity.
Speaker 8: You have a ton of power. Yeah, but the sliding
Speaker 8: scale of uh, you know, it's an hour before game time.
Speaker 8: All my I have to save two tickets in case
Speaker 8: blank blank calls.
Speaker 2: I had asked Sandman. I said, hey, you know, I'd
Speaker 2: love to go to a Laker game. And then he said, I, Danny,
Speaker 2: you tell me. And then I said all right, you
Speaker 2: pick one. And then Sandman out of nowhere goes, uh, Danny,
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night Lakers, and I go, wait, you got to
Speaker 2: give me more of a heads up here not in LA.
Speaker 2: He goes, all right, I'll get somebody else as sam
Speaker 2: Man was courtside, and I was like, all right, that
Speaker 2: guy's in my seat there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I did love the idea that like, not in LA.
Speaker 3: And it's like, so, yeah, get here, So just get here,
Speaker 3: go to the game, go home.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's like getting invited to Tom Brady's roast.
Speaker 2: And then I said, well, I'm not going to be
Speaker 2: in LA. And then I realized I'm just going to
Speaker 2: be in the audience there which is fine, don't I
Speaker 2: didn't want to roast Tom Brady, but I was trying
Speaker 2: to find out if they wanted me to roast, therefore
Speaker 2: they would want me in New York and it was
Speaker 2: this Sunday night. Then I would go, but I don't
Speaker 2: want to be on the dais. I saw who's going
Speaker 2: to be up there.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I got information two weeks ago with a person who's
Speaker 2: involved in this, and she reached out and I've known
Speaker 2: her a long time from the days of the Spies,
Speaker 2: and she just said, Hey, Tom's getting roasted. It's going
Speaker 2: to be live. Do you want to go? And I'm like, wow,
Speaker 2: that'd be awesome, but I won't be in LA. She goes, Okay,
Speaker 2: no worries, just wanted to reach out, thought of you.
Speaker 2: And then I realized who's going. You're going to have
Speaker 2: Gronk there, and Edelman's going to be there. Belichick, I believe,
Speaker 2: is going to be there, so the right people are
Speaker 2: going to be roasting him. And so I'll watch it
Speaker 2: like I'm curious what Belichick says in a roast about
Speaker 2: Tom Brady because is he going to have his own material?
Speaker 2: Like I don't know. And then if somebody's going to
Speaker 2: have a joke and Beuncheck's delivering it. It just seems
Speaker 2: really odd. Edelman is going to crush Brady. I already
Speaker 2: know that Edelman will. Of all of those guys, Edelman's
Speaker 2: the one, he's the sniper.
Speaker 3: That's a fellow too, who knows where the bodies are buried,
Speaker 3: so to speak.
Speaker 2: Yes, but he will be great. Gronk will be Gronk.
Speaker 2: It's just I think Drew Bledsoe is going to be
Speaker 2: there as well. So I think you know that kind
Speaker 2: of the grouping there. Yeah, poem.
Speaker 8: What's awkward though at these roasts are maybe not awkward
Speaker 8: but great is they make fun of each other too
Speaker 8: as they Yes, they go up there, they roast the
Speaker 8: roasters before they get to the main target. Yes, that's
Speaker 8: where Belichexi might have a hard time.
Speaker 2: I just can't imagine Bill going. And I remember the
Speaker 2: time that Tom deflated the football and the guy was
Speaker 2: named the deflator.
Speaker 3: I mean, did you see that picture at the combine too?
Speaker 2: Look at that?
Speaker 3: Who would draft that chubby loser?
Speaker 2: Look at that? And you call that eye candy?
Speaker 5: Yes, well, they give him fake laps like the Patriots
Speaker 5: media would out.
Speaker 2: Of a of course, of course, yes, yes, marm Does
Speaker 2: Nick Foles get an invite? Oh no, Eli Manning, he's
Speaker 2: in I heard is if sources they have to have
Speaker 2: Eli bring both those Super Bowl trophies out. Just put
Speaker 2: them on the days su Yeah, have maybe a cape,
Speaker 2: you know, and he walks out. He's got both those
Speaker 2: Super Bowl trophies. Just put him right there on the day.
Speaker 8: Is t shirt that says two and oh on it
Speaker 8: nothing else.
Speaker 2: Well, he had pants on too. Well, doesn't have to
