Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Yep, tonight's the night we lose our fourth
Speaker 1: consecutive Sports Emmy. That's not breaking news. I'm not guaranteeing it.
Speaker 1: But the likelihood of us not winning tonight, I'd say
Speaker 1: high probability. But we're gonna party. We're gonna celebrate. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna flip the Sports Emmy on its head or
Speaker 1: her head. And what we're going to do is we're
Speaker 1: going to celebrate no matter what happens. If pardon the interruption,
Speaker 1: wins or Sports Center wins, congratulations, and then we're going
Speaker 1: to pour champagne all over ourselves. And that's the way
Speaker 1: it should be, because it's just an honor to get nominated.
Speaker 1: And you can watch us. You can watch the entire
Speaker 1: show that we have. Now we have a Emmy watch party.
Speaker 1: You can watch us watching the Sports Emmy's. But we
Speaker 1: also look back on this entire year, all the great
Speaker 1: moments that we had. We have great guests and some
Speaker 1: bad moments as well. Adam Sandler, Bryan Cranston, Will Ferrell,
Speaker 1: Darius Rucker, Melissa Ethridge has a song for us. Rick

Speaker 1: a DP show talk some basketball after last night My Bucks,
Speaker 1: you bums got blown out by the Nets. The nets
Speaker 1: up two. Hey, I'm watching going God. This is why
Speaker 1: I hate making predictions, because then I'm so invested in
Speaker 1: it and I'm watching the Bucks get blown out. At
Speaker 1: one point, they're down by forty nine. Without James Harden,
Speaker 1: Suns beat the Nuggets one twenty two to one oh five.
Speaker 1: They're up one zip Tonight Hawks seventy six Ers game
Speaker 1: two Clippers at the Jazz game one. Packers Mini camp
Speaker 1: opens today. Aaron Rodgers probably going to be a no show.
Speaker 1: It'd be awesome if you showed up, though, just to
Speaker 1: say what you guys are surprised that I'm here? What
Speaker 1: nothing to see here? What's the big deal. I've been
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, I've been in I've been in love. What's
Speaker 1: been going on? But I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Albert Breer is going to join us on loan from
Speaker 1: the Monday Morning Quarterback. We'll talk to Adam Lefco NBA
Speaker 1: on TNT. He'll join us coming up as well. Phone

Speaker 1: shirts coming out distant time for Father's Day. And yes,
Speaker 1: we do have a imerick. This is a sports Emmy
Speaker 1: limerick that Todd has prepared for us. Todd, do you
Speaker 1: have a limerick that you're willing to release now prior
Speaker 1: to tonight's big event? Sure, I have a separate one
Speaker 1: for later. I have one for this morning show that's
Speaker 1: ready to roll. Oh, so do you have one if
Speaker 1: we win? We have what if we win? If we lose? Okay,
Speaker 1: and I have this one? Can I have like a
Speaker 1: celebratory one that there's a lot of options? Okay? Yes? Plan?
Speaker 1: Should you write a limerick anticipating a loss? It's like
Speaker 1: when you ask NBA player, did you how do you
Speaker 1: planned if you lose a saying I'm never thinking about it.
Speaker 1: R J. Barret would yell at you now I'm okay.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with you preparing for a loss like I'm
Speaker 1: all for preparation. And even if it means that we've
Speaker 1: lost again, we at least prepared to lose. And I
Speaker 1: like that. Todd. All right, so here's your limerick. As
Speaker 1: we get ready for today's show and then we have
Speaker 1: the big festivities tonight, it's time to end Dan and
Speaker 1: Dan that exclusion. Though announcing US winners may cause some confusion,
Speaker 1: would be quite a stat of the day to send
Speaker 1: the trophy all away, Dan Patrick, show Emmy a four
Speaker 1: gone conclusion. Okay, here we go. I like it. Here
Speaker 1: we go four consecutive Sports Emmy nominations, and we could
Speaker 1: end up being the Buffalo Bills. But that's okay because
Speaker 1: I think I think what the Buffalo Bills did will
Speaker 1: never be replicated. You can go to four super Bowls
Speaker 1: and lose four Super Bowls. Nobody wants to replicate that,
Speaker 1: but but us we do. Do you think that they
Speaker 1: were after they lost telling each other limericks in the
Speaker 1: locker room? I think so. I was actually at that
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Jim Kelly was like, fellas gather around. I
Speaker 1: just want to share a quick limerick. For you on
Speaker 1: our loss. You know Bruce Smith, big Limerick guy, crazy
Speaker 1: Limerick guy, and don't get Jim Kelly started on a
Speaker 1: Limerick man loves himself some prose. Yes, mclovin. I still
Speaker 1: want to point out the Broncos lost three and then
Speaker 1: one their four and we have a super Broncos fan
Speaker 1: from that here together. But it wasn't three in a
Speaker 1: row that you lost, now, it was three and four
Speaker 1: years that get progressively worse scores. Thank you, Todd. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: they got blown out. Like but if you lose the
Speaker 1: I means you can't get blown out of the Emmys.
Speaker 1: It's an equal loss. We never see the vote, right,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the vote total. They never let
Speaker 1: us in on the vote total. Do you want to know? No? No, no.
Speaker 1: I was told by a voter one time and he said, hey,
Speaker 1: I got to review studio host and you're gonna win it.
Speaker 1: And I went to the Sports Emmys and I truly
Speaker 1: I did not applaud when they made the announcement because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to applaud for me. And then I
Speaker 1: didn't win the Sports Emmy. Like that's crushing. That's where
Speaker 1: I said, I said to my wife. I said, look
Speaker 1: said hunh, I'm I'm gonna win. I was told I
Speaker 1: was gonna win. She goes, well, how how would you
Speaker 1: get that information? I said, somebody who voted said your
Speaker 1: tape was awesome, and everybody in the room agreed. And
Speaker 1: I go, okay, and she goes, and you trust this person?
Speaker 1: I said, yes, I trust this person. And I get
Speaker 1: there and I'm like, I'm in a great mood. And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they open that envelope and the
Speaker 1: winner is Bob Costas and I went. And then I
Speaker 1: saw the guy after the award ceremony and he said, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. I said, I do. I
Speaker 1: didn't win. You go get me an emmy. I don't
Speaker 1: care whose it is. You own me one. But it's
Speaker 1: a big night, big night, and where champagne will be flowing.
Speaker 1: I will say that there will be champagne. The triggers
Speaker 1: will be fired up, and we have so many Mario
Speaker 1: is producing this Watch Party, so guaranteed to go wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I got Mary, I mean good hands. Mario is
Speaker 1: producing this hour long special, the Watch Party, And then
Speaker 1: when our category comes up, you're going to be able
Speaker 1: to watch that live as we watch it live, and
Speaker 1: then you can live vicariously through us as we lose.
Speaker 1: And then if you want to poor champagne on yourself
Speaker 1: after we lose, you can or have somebody poor Champagne
Speaker 1: on you. Daco choice, go right ahead. Yeah, doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be champagne. Yeah. I've had the champagne and this refrigerator,
Speaker 1: the back room guys refrigerator, for a year now, and
Speaker 1: I still have the five bottles there. Everybody gets a
Speaker 1: bottle tonight and we're gonna celebrate, because why not. You
Speaker 1: don't want to see us cry anymore. Fritzie, have you
Speaker 1: ever opened a bottle of champagne? I have not recently.
Speaker 1: I did um when I proposed to my wife and
Speaker 1: then we went to we went to Miami for like
Speaker 1: a three day celebration excursion, and there was champagne. Then
Speaker 1: I was wondering, how am I going to be able
Speaker 1: to open this? To have to and bactly call someone
Speaker 1: to come up to the room and open it, and
Speaker 1: then I gotta give the guy a tip when it
Speaker 1: looks really bad if I can't figure out a way
Speaker 1: to open it. Took a while, but eventually I got
Speaker 1: it out I'm gonna have you open up the champagne tonight.
Speaker 1: They may not go well. I know, they have to
Speaker 1: like peel off like a rapper. And then there's like
Speaker 1: some kind of device that you gotta like, you might down,
Speaker 1: you might want to get started soon. And there's a cork.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. Yes, yes, someone's gonna get in.
Speaker 1: And you know, you could put your eye out, you could.
Speaker 1: You gotta be careful with it pops out. And we
Speaker 1: should have the toddler do it with a saber. You
Speaker 1: have people like cre the sword and they get the top.
Speaker 1: Let's do that. That'd be fun. Oh, let's see Lant's
Speaker 1: talk some sports here. In some ways, the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: don't make any sense to me because usually super teams
Speaker 1: need time to jail. Remember when Lebron went to Miami,
Speaker 1: they didn't win it that first year. You got the
Speaker 1: big three, you got Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden.
Speaker 1: But they've barely been on the court together. Blake Griffin,
Speaker 1: who knew Blake Griffin played twenty six games for Brooklyn
Speaker 1: during the regular season, But somehow they look like they've
Speaker 1: been playing together for quite some time. Harden out with
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. I thought, the Bucks, here's your opportunity.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to knock off the Nets because
Speaker 1: you've learned from the two previous playoff experiences where you
Speaker 1: bowed out early, that hey, you're not a front runner,
Speaker 1: you're not a favorite, You're an underdog. And that's what
Speaker 1: we love, the underdog. Brooklyn's now up two. Oh, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean the series is over. But Milwaukee wasn't even
Speaker 1: competitive last night, and all the flaws that we've seen
Speaker 1: with Milwaukee the two previous years, I just don't know
Speaker 1: if they've made adjustments. It feels like when you get
Speaker 1: to postseason basketball, a seven game series with Milwaukee, Miami
Speaker 1: Heat gave a blueprint last year in the playoffs. You
Speaker 1: just sort of let Jannis you want to shoot outside, Great,
Speaker 1: we're going to create a wall and we're gonna have
Speaker 1: other players beat us. And I don't even know if
Speaker 1: the Nets even need that kind of strategy, but you
Speaker 1: saw it last night, and it was really an embarrassing
Speaker 1: performance by Milwaukee. The Nets led by as many as
Speaker 1: forty nine, the Bucks were held to eighty six points.
Speaker 1: That's the season low by ten points. They're fewest points
Speaker 1: in a postseason game since twenty seventeen. That's it. That's
Speaker 1: this kind of a day. Come on, let's go, come
Speaker 1: on every day the sports here comes that. What stat
Speaker 1: of the day? Nets shot fifty percent from three point
Speaker 1: range twenty one forty two. Joe Harris looked great last night.
Speaker 1: Um here's Kyrie Irving after the blowout win against the
Speaker 1: bum Bucks. I think we're capable of greatness every single night.
Speaker 1: You know, it just depends on the approach we have
Speaker 1: coming in. You know, throughout the regular season. I feel
Speaker 1: like we will let our guard down playing against some
Speaker 1: of the teams in our league, and they would punch
Speaker 1: us in the mouth and we would come in talk
Speaker 1: to you guys after the game about what happened, and
Speaker 1: I think we would just figured out the little things
Speaker 1: in terms of how to create separation within the game
Speaker 1: and just remain resilient throughout. That's basically what has come
Speaker 1: to is it's just remaining resilient no matter what's going
Speaker 1: on and sticking to our preparation in our gameplay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a great performance by them. This program brought

Speaker 1: the game, T and T Sideline reporter Jared Greenberg had
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Kevin Durant. Probably didn't go
Speaker 1: as scripted for Jared Greenberg. Tomorrow, well mark two years
Speaker 1: since you initially injured your calf. I know you worked
Speaker 1: your butt off to get to this point, but did
Speaker 1: you ever think you'd be this good? Is that a
Speaker 1: real question? Of course? Would you want me to say
Speaker 1: to that? Of course, I think it's pretty impressive. What
Speaker 1: are you been able to do? Thank you? I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: but I mean that was two years ago. I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to just getting up tomorrow, going to practice, watching
Speaker 1: family and uh, let's see how we can get better.
Speaker 1: But you know, I appreciate that, but you know that
Speaker 1: was that was too long ago. All right, Well, I'll
Speaker 1: come up with some more real questions for you next time.
Speaker 1: Thanks Kevin, love ouch, love ouch. That's live and sometimes
Speaker 1: you h you live and die with live? Yes, yes, time?
Speaker 1: And then what makes it more awkward. Then you can
Speaker 1: throw it back to like Mark, all right, it's once
Speaker 1: again in the finals, like it just happened with still Walker.
Speaker 1: But is what it referred to it it's his colleague.
Speaker 1: We'll have Gape three. Can they turn it around? For
Speaker 1: Jared Greenberg? For Jared Greenberg and grand Hill. I'm Marvels
Speaker 1: again the Nuts blow out the Bucks. That was awkward.
Speaker 1: It would have been great if Marv did react, you know,
Speaker 1: just in the moment like that. That's real questions, fake
Speaker 1: effort by the Bucks. Can they turn it around in
Speaker 1: Gabe three NBA on TNT. Yes, that was embarrassing. All right,
Speaker 1: you start with the question that doesn't start out as
Speaker 1: a question, and it's close ended question. But you know
Speaker 1: two years ago, we know the injury and okay, play
Speaker 1: play the question here sued by Jared Greenberg. At tomorrow
Speaker 1: we'll mark two years since you initially injured your calf.
Speaker 1: I know you worked your butt off to get to
Speaker 1: this point, but did you ever think you'd beat this good?
Speaker 1: Is that a real question? Of course? Would you want
Speaker 1: me to say to that? Of course? I think it's
Speaker 1: pretty impressive what you been able to do. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but I mean, that was two years ago.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to just getting up tomorrow. I'm going
Speaker 1: to practice, watch your family and uh, let's see how
Speaker 1: we can get better. But you know, I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: but you know that was that was so long ago.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'll come up with some more real
Speaker 1: questions for you next time. Thanks, Kevin Love. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a bit of a clunky question. It could have been
Speaker 1: phrased better. He could have said, if I told you
Speaker 1: two years ago when you tore your calf, you'd be
Speaker 1: beating the Bucks by fifty data da. Kevin Durrant agreed
Speaker 1: to do the interview, just play the game for eighteen seconds,
Speaker 1: and walked to the locker room. He could have came
Speaker 1: up with his own answer to the clunky question instead
Speaker 1: of making it about him. Oh yeah, he could have
Speaker 1: helped out Jared Greenberg. Right, he did not want to, right, Fine,
Speaker 1: We've seen these posts game interviews with Kevin Durant. If
Speaker 1: he's on with TNT, you know he'll he'll make it
Speaker 1: awkward for you, and it almost feels like that's by design. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he sort of did it nicely awkward. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean it was it was with a laugh, and he did.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, man, I appreciate that much love,
Speaker 1: you know whatever. Yeah, but is that a real question?
Speaker 1: But it's not really, That's not like like Greg Popovich
Speaker 1: was a jerk. Yeah, like straight up would just absolutely
Speaker 1: unnecessarily rude reporters. Yeah, Kevin Durant didn't do that. He
Speaker 1: could have. He could have helped a little bit there,
Speaker 1: he could have. Yeah, I saw that the same thing.
Speaker 1: During the Celtics series. Someone would ask him, did you
Speaker 1: ever think you're going to be an elite defender again
Speaker 1: after your calf injury? And he he was even meaner
Speaker 1: Katie was. He didn't like these calf injury questions. But
Speaker 1: two years ago, by the way, Katie, is that that
Speaker 1: long ago for blowing out your achilles? He's like, that's
Speaker 1: ancient history. What, No, it's not. What he's doing is
Speaker 1: so impressive because what happened in the last two years
Speaker 1: that he didn't play basketball for five hundred days and
Speaker 1: he's coming back. And you would never if I said,
Speaker 1: pick the guy who you know blew out as achilles,
Speaker 1: Pick the guy on the floor that is coming back
Speaker 1: from surgery where he didn't play basketball for five hundred days,
Speaker 1: you'd never picked Kevin Durant. The question is clunky because
Speaker 1: you're giving an opinion, Yes, you know this come back.
Speaker 1: Did you ever think you would be this good? It's
Speaker 1: a close ended question. A lot of athletes get them talking.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I ask close ended questions, but in
Speaker 1: my mind, I'm always trying to ask an open ended question.
Speaker 1: You know what, what was your thought two years ago
Speaker 1: when you suffered this injury? And then he might say, hey,
Speaker 1: I was hoping I'd be able to come back, and
Speaker 1: I you know, I thought I was going to be
Speaker 1: even better. But the fact that you know, did you
Speaker 1: think you were going to be this good? And then
Speaker 1: he says, is that a real question? Well, he knows
Speaker 1: it's a real question. Fritzie called for Jared Greenberg, the
Speaker 1: TNT sideline reporter. How about we get Kevin Durant and
Speaker 1: Jared Greenberg on again and then we yeah, yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a redo. Yes time. But as clunky as the
Speaker 1: question was, you know, there's a thousands different things he
Speaker 1: could have said. You know what, I'm not surprised. I
Speaker 1: worked very hard. It's been a rough two years, but
Speaker 1: I was motivated to get myself back to the level
Speaker 1: that I expect to play at and there's just that
Speaker 1: that's what you say? Is a national TV you're can
Speaker 1: embarrass the guy? Is that a real question? I don't
Speaker 1: know what kind of relationship they have. Maybe he's around
Speaker 1: him a lot, Maybe they were I don't know, they
Speaker 1: were having fun. I don't know. I felt bad for
Speaker 1: him because it's live TV and those are hard jobs.
Speaker 1: When you got you get time to ask one or
Speaker 1: two questions. And what is that one question or two questions?
Speaker 1: The sideline reporter as the coach runs off at halftime?
Speaker 1: What kind of a judgment are you gonna make in
Speaker 1: the second half? Oh, let me tell you. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you right now. Don't tell anybody but I. This is
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna try to play better.
Speaker 1: We're down thirty. We're gonna try to play more defense
Speaker 1: and spare more basket. Yes, yes, yes, I'm waiting for
Speaker 1: one of these sideline reporters to just snap and go.
Speaker 1: You could have asked a better question, you know what, Kevin,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you're even here. Isn't you're trying to be
Speaker 1: on the injured list? Is it to answer to me
Speaker 1: like one of these guys, is just gonna snap and
Speaker 1: go off and just walk off into the sunset. Oh,
Speaker 1: we got Adam lefco on loan from tn T get
Speaker 1: response off of the nets. Yes, McLevin. They had Mike Budenholzer,
Speaker 1: the Bucks coach, on after the first quarter, and I
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna cry. He looked they were down
Speaker 1: by third that I had a pull question. Were the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn that's that good or the Milwaukee Bucks that bad?
Speaker 1: What's you come away with? Let me take a break here,
Speaker 1: Let me take a break, then we'll settle on a
Speaker 1: pull question. Got a couple of more stats of the day.
Speaker 1: We got mini camp with you know, this is the
Speaker 1: offseason workout mandatory. But I don't think that Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is showing up. Albert Breer from the Monday Morning Quarterback
Speaker 1: will join us. Coming up a little bit later on.

Speaker 1: taking that all important first step into an authorized dealership today.
Speaker 1: All right, mclovin, what's the full question today? Okay? A
Speaker 1: few MBA questions last night? Was Brooklyn that good or
Speaker 1: Milwaukee that bad? I would bet you if we put
Speaker 1: that up in Milwaukee being that bad would be the
Speaker 1: big storyline. Well, you can't be down by forty nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even if Brooklyn's playing that well that how is that
Speaker 1: possible that a team that's that could play that poorly?
Speaker 1: So you don't have James Harden and you're down, and
Speaker 1: you know you have to get this win because you're
Speaker 1: not sure when Harden's going to come back. Maybe you
Speaker 1: steal a couple of games and maybe doesn't come back
Speaker 1: and you can win this series. I mean, that was
Speaker 1: less than inspiring and it just felt like they had
Speaker 1: they made no adjustments, and I kept watching going, you
Speaker 1: can't be this bad, but they were what else do
Speaker 1: you have? Okay? Will Janis ever be able to win
Speaker 1: a title in Milwaukee? Okay? Oh, in Milwaukee. Does he
Speaker 1: have to go to like an LA At some point,
Speaker 1: I think people have to understand there's certain places that
Speaker 1: you might not be able to get free agents. At
Speaker 1: least it's tougher to get free agents. You know, if
Speaker 1: you're going to be in Brooklyn or Miami or LA,
Speaker 1: you can get a free agent. It feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: Lebron had trouble in Cleveland famously, couldn't get Chris Bosh
Speaker 1: to even stop into Cleveland. He went straight to Miami.
Speaker 1: He was trying to recruit Bosh. They got Kevin Love,
Speaker 1: but that was with a trade Kyrie. That was when
Speaker 1: the Calves were bad and they were able to draft
Speaker 1: Kyrie after Lebron left. But you're trying to get free agents,
Speaker 1: there's certain cities where it's going to be tougher to
Speaker 1: get players to want to go. I mean New York
Speaker 1: the Knicks for a long period of time, he had
Speaker 1: a hard time getting you a player. You still have
Speaker 1: a hard time getting players wanting to go there. I
Speaker 1: think now you're starting to see what the Garden can
Speaker 1: be like. We certainly saw that at least after one
Speaker 1: game there with the Atlanta Hawks. But there are certain
Speaker 1: cities that you're just not going to get these players
Speaker 1: to go given it sounds strange to say that the
Speaker 1: Greek freak is a go to guy in the regular season.
Speaker 1: It just feels like during the postseason he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: your number one option because I think the defenses gear
Speaker 1: up towards him. He's not like Luca, He's not like
Speaker 1: these other players where you go that guy is going
Speaker 1: to be able to beat you somehow some way. With Jannis,
Speaker 1: I watched and he came down and took he took
Speaker 1: a three, and I went, what, no, no, what are
Speaker 1: you what are you doing? You didn't need to take
Speaker 1: a three. Then he's taken to three and he's He's
Speaker 1: a great player. He's fun to watch. I just don't
Speaker 1: know come postseason, if they bow out like this again
Speaker 1: and not competitive, then you know, I think and they
Speaker 1: brought in you know, a holiday, I mean that we thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: now you have another quality player to go along with Middleton,
Speaker 1: But I I don't see much progress here. Adam left
Speaker 1: Go Tuesday, NBA on TNT, host and host of The
Speaker 1: Left Go Show on Bleacher Report, just back from his honeymoon,
Speaker 1: who gets married during the NBA season when they covered
Speaker 1: the NBA. Is that a real question for me? Is
Speaker 1: that morning? Yes, that's a real Garni. He went around
Speaker 1: on me. Well, well, I was supposed to get married
Speaker 1: last year, Dan, and then this COVID thing happened, So
Speaker 1: it was perfectly schedule, and I didn't know the schedule
Speaker 1: was going to happen like this. Also, Ernie's got it.
Speaker 1: You know they come here, you're looking at me. I'm
Speaker 1: not working anyway. You think Ernie's getting off that desk?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? This is what Ernie lived for
Speaker 1: Ernie is let him tell you. They come out of
Speaker 1: commercial and he gets to hit him with the you
Speaker 1: know twenty five and the last twenty seven times that
Speaker 1: the Bucks have been trailing after two games. That come on, man,
Speaker 1: he's had the stats writing. I'm not taking his time.
Speaker 1: I want to watch Ernie anyway. Okay, are you still married?
Speaker 1: I am. Honeymoon was amazing. Went to Hawaii and the
Speaker 1: best thing is the time difference. Hey babe, I think yeah,
Speaker 1: let's think that two o'clock map. Perfect game starts at three.
Speaker 1: It was it was amazing. All right, Where do you
Speaker 1: want to start with the next where you just were
Speaker 1: a Bootenholzer. What the heck is he doing? I mean
Speaker 1: that dude, that can you imagine the pressure on him
Speaker 1: right now heading back to Milwaukee down two when everyone
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that they kept him anyway, It's more of
Speaker 1: the same, Dan, and that's what's incredible to be they
Speaker 1: were this season. They allowed the most threes per game
Speaker 1: of any team in the NBA, second worst three point
Speaker 1: percentage in terms of allowed. This is what they've done
Speaker 1: every single year, and yet were not. Everybody we all
Speaker 1: looked at each other and said, are we gonna do
Speaker 1: this again? Are we gonna go to the playoffs and
Speaker 1: we're gonna let teams hit threes and Yannis and explicably,
Speaker 1: inexplicably is going to be at the top of the three,
Speaker 1: and they're going to create a wall, and we're gonna go, Man,
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton, really good NBA player in the regular season,
Speaker 1: kind of a three when it comes to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this again. I just don't understand. I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there, I'm texting with Kandae Parkner last night and
Speaker 1: I'm going didn't you say all season long that they
Speaker 1: were running Yannis on the block and that it opened
Speaker 1: up everything else because of his ability to pass, and
Speaker 1: it gets them closer to the basket. And she's like,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. She's like, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: they didn't work on any of this all year, and
Speaker 1: and I just it's it's created me, man, because we're
Speaker 1: gonna blame Yannis and he's gonna he's gonna get this
Speaker 1: one more passed because if it doesn't work out, they're
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Bodenholzer and then they're gonna go
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the coach. I just how much more of
Speaker 1: this kid's time can we waste? And if it's if
Speaker 1: it's him, then that's an issue too. Yeah. Well, I
Speaker 1: was just gonna ask you, is this coaching or is
Speaker 1: it personnel? I think Game three, we're gonna learn a
Speaker 1: lot if they need to play through Drew Holiday on
Speaker 1: offense and they need to figure out a way to
Speaker 1: slow this down because they're going up again the next
Speaker 1: team that doesn't even have Jeff Green a lot alone
Speaker 1: James Harden and like, I know, what's an unstoppable force.
Speaker 1: But the big storyline that I saw kind of developing
Speaker 1: last night was, oh, we are getting the Devin Booker
Speaker 1: Heroes Journey where he becomes the young Padawan that goes
Speaker 1: on to face the Evil Nets in the finals led
Speaker 1: by Obi one Kenobi in Chris Paul like, you could
Speaker 1: just see the NBA storyline being developed last night. But yeah,
Speaker 1: in terms of the bucks Man play through, true holiday,
Speaker 1: get Janis on the block. Stop allowing all these threes
Speaker 1: and do something. I'm like poking them with a stick
Speaker 1: on the ground right now? Is there a better starting
Speaker 1: five when they start then the Nets? When you think
Speaker 1: about offensive efficiency in NBA history, I just how quickly
Speaker 1: we forget those Warriors teams. I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: remember sitting there when Clay had that Game six against
Speaker 1: the Thunder where it didn't seem like the ball ever
Speaker 1: touch the ground. You know, there's a difference in style
Speaker 1: of this offense. I get amazed at the individual talents.
Speaker 1: When Kyrie takes someone off the drivel, it's a moon day.
Speaker 1: When Kevin Durant just steps back and shoots and there's
Speaker 1: nothing you can do, It's it's just unstappable. It's like Thanos.
Speaker 1: And then when you watch James Harden, you know it's
Speaker 1: it's maybe the greatest one on one player ever, but
Speaker 1: the Warriors, the ball never touched the ground. You know,
Speaker 1: it was the passing, it was the efficiency, it was
Speaker 1: it was this gravitational force that was Stephen Curry. So
Speaker 1: I think that one. I mean, look, I don't know
Speaker 1: the numbers on it, but it felt more were efficient
Speaker 1: just because it felt more artistic. This feels more like
Speaker 1: singular attacking. Yeah, I would agree with you what Golden
Speaker 1: State did and how they did it. Uh, to me,
Speaker 1: I had not seen before. You know, you have the
Speaker 1: Celtics with the Big Three with Bird Mchalin Parish, but
Speaker 1: offensive efficiency wasn't close to this, even if you threw
Speaker 1: an ange in, DJ Bill Walton off the bench. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen the seventy sixers with doctor Jay.
Speaker 1: They had it. They had a lot of talent at
Speaker 1: every position there chiefs, yeah, Darryl talk is everybody. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then you throw in the showtime Lakers if you
Speaker 1: have Magic, Kareem and Worthy. I mean there there have
Speaker 1: been there have been teams that rival this. Um. What
Speaker 1: about the Miami Heat with Bosh, Wade and Lebron see
Speaker 1: that it didn't feel as offensively impressive as these teams too,
Speaker 1: But that's felt more as like a complete dominant team
Speaker 1: performance because Lebron and Wade had that mindmeld going on,
Speaker 1: and then Chris Bosh was always in the right spot defensively.
Speaker 1: And I do it like when I think of that
Speaker 1: oh Man Ray Allen out there as well, who will
Speaker 1: go down as one of the greatest shooters of all time.
Speaker 1: This though, it feels because lebron offense isn't as artistic
Speaker 1: as these guys. It is brute force. Whereas Durant, they
Speaker 1: just did an incredible article. I think it was in
Speaker 1: the New York Times where it talked about how effortless
Speaker 1: his motion it is. And when James Naismith invented the game,
Speaker 1: his fourth rule may have been, trust me when you
Speaker 1: see Kevin Durant, this is how it's supposed to be played.
Speaker 1: These guys just it feels more artistic, whereas Lebron and
Speaker 1: even my guy Wade, it was just a lot more
Speaker 1: physical and spacing and putting a guy on your hip.
Speaker 1: Can the Nets win a title without Harden shoot after
Speaker 1: last night? It kind of may should think so. I
Speaker 1: think that the stars are aligning in terms of the competition.
Speaker 1: My dummy head just made a bet with a friend
Speaker 1: that the Sixers are going to come back and beat
Speaker 1: the Hawks, and I don't even feel confident about that.
Speaker 1: But if mb with his knee, with mbid going down,
Speaker 1: I always looked at embad as the one fourth to
Speaker 1: the east, that if he's able to do his forty
Speaker 1: fifteen and whatever, he could be that, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like he's going to be. I know we're getting
Speaker 1: all hopped up on the Hawks, but it's a games.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a games one fools gold. I still
Speaker 1: think they're great and Trey Young has figured it out
Speaker 1: and I'm the West. Okay, you got the Suns. I look,
Speaker 1: Kawi went terminator mode and I'm texting with Wade and
Speaker 1: he's just going out. You know when he does that,
Speaker 1: you just sit back and go, what do we do?
Speaker 1: Because you can't stop it? And I just don't see
Speaker 1: any other team and it maybe you talk, but no,
Speaker 1: I think the Nets can win without Harden. I think
Speaker 1: it'll be a lot more dominant with him. But after
Speaker 1: last night, I think all my fears kind of went away.
Speaker 1: Are you all in on the Clippers? No? Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Are you No? No? It's I can't guarantee what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get any nights, because now, are you all in
Speaker 1: on the Clippers? If you get Kauai game six, in
Speaker 1: Game seven against the Mavericks, every game, yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: I better, But see I don't. I'm not worried about Kawhi.
Speaker 1: He had one bad game in the series. It's the
Speaker 1: other guys that I just remember. Beverly, Oh, hey, he'll
Speaker 1: be great against Luca and a playoff Rondo, and I go, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean it comes down to if Paul George is
Speaker 1: consistently good and Kauai all right, but I think Utah's
Speaker 1: a better team. We don't want to embrace Utah because
Speaker 1: we go, well, they don't really have stars there, but
Speaker 1: they play good team defense and they shoot the three,
Speaker 1: and that feels like that's a pretty good formula to
Speaker 1: advance here. Hey, Dan, you know how this whole year
Speaker 1: with Russell Westlock, everyone was debating the meaningfulness of a
Speaker 1: triple double. I would like to draw up the meaningfulness
Speaker 1: of a regular season fifty forty ninety because I think
Speaker 1: it's time we talk about it. Fifty percent from the field,
Speaker 1: forty percent from three, ninety percent from three point. You know,
Speaker 1: three guys that have that were either at that marks
Speaker 1: or pass it are always around it. Tobias Harris, Paul George,
Speaker 1: and Chris Middleton, all three of them were either going
Speaker 1: to the All Star Game or getting really closed because
Speaker 1: of those numbers, and all three of those guys, those
Speaker 1: numbers become meaningless when the playoffs started, meaningless, all three
Speaker 1: of those guys. I'm going, Okay, Tobias, you've got one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million dollars. Paul George, I mean you
Speaker 1: complain at the rest don't treat you like a superstar,
Speaker 1: and you say that you are. And Chris Middleton, I mean,
Speaker 1: here we are talking about a modern day score and
Speaker 1: all that, and there was a playoff star. I don't
Speaker 1: see him. And so fifty forty ninety is supposed to
Speaker 1: be this all time test because Steve Nash did it
Speaker 1: and Steph Curry did it. But these guys from the
Speaker 1: playoffs start absolute no show. And look, the stories can
Speaker 1: still be written differently, but I just all three of
Speaker 1: those guys need to be great for their teams to win,
Speaker 1: and I just can't bet on that more likely to
Speaker 1: play for a championship. First, the Greek Freak or Luca Wow.
Speaker 1: I think that the main reason I'm going to say
Speaker 1: the Greek freak is because I don't know how the
Speaker 1: Mavericks are going to get rid of that person gas contract,
Speaker 1: and until they do, I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1: He's making over thirty million for the next three seasons.
Speaker 1: And I thought last night, I went, Wow, how great
Speaker 1: would it be if Cuban could dump that contract and
Speaker 1: then make or run at Kawai after the season when
Speaker 1: he's a free agent. Could you imagine Luca and Kawai
Speaker 1: next to each other? And then I went, wait, who
Speaker 1: were the teams that are even built to take on
Speaker 1: that salary? And there's two right now that have over
Speaker 1: thirty million in cap space, the Spurs and the Knicks,
Speaker 1: and there's no reason nix they're taking Porzingis. And I thought,
Speaker 1: there any way that this Spurs franchise, with their love
Speaker 1: of foreign born players, would fall in love with the
Speaker 1: Lotvian freak named Porzingis and think we could be the
Speaker 1: ones that turn it around. And then I smacked myself
Speaker 1: in the face and went, there is no player less
Speaker 1: San Antonio than Christaps Porzingis, who after a season which
Speaker 1: he does nothing and he sat on the bench for
Speaker 1: most of it, goes out there and complains that he
Speaker 1: is not treated like a number two. So I until
Speaker 1: they get rid of that contract, I'm gonna go Greek
Speaker 1: freak because at least I know that they may get
Speaker 1: a new coach that can turn it around. But yeah,
Speaker 1: with Porzingis's contract, I just can't bet on Luca right now.
Speaker 1: Used to Mary Man, it's good at Dan, I like it.
Speaker 1: The only thing is is I got my ring is
Speaker 1: too small, and I have a lot of pizza last
Speaker 1: night and now I can't get it off. But he likes, well,
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to take it off, That's what she
Speaker 1: keeps saying. But like, you know, I want to play
Speaker 1: with it, you know, I want to. I want to
Speaker 1: act like I'm in the matrix or something. You gotta
Speaker 1: Marrital advice for me. It's too late for that. Just
Speaker 1: be a good listener, remember everything she says. Just just
Speaker 1: concentrate on everything because probably at some point going are
Speaker 1: you are you even listening to me? And you want to?
Speaker 1: I just want to ask the Dan. That's really quick
Speaker 1: shout out to Fritzie. I just want to ask them
Speaker 1: every time I ask Dan for advice, he just tells
Speaker 1: me to listen. You know, Hey, how do I do
Speaker 1: a really good job hosting NBA, N T and T.
Speaker 1: Just listen, don't talk? Hey, how do I have a
Speaker 1: good marriage? Just listen? Does he listen to you guys?
Speaker 1: Or does he just talk the entire time? Because this
Speaker 1: man follow what he preaches. I'm just seeing a trend here.
Speaker 1: Does anybody want to be a spokesperson for the dannuts poll?
Speaker 1: When you think Dan's not listening? Four months later, hobbyack,
Speaker 1: remember that thing you said on Tuesday in May and
Speaker 1: you're oh, man, okay, I'm listening. I'm listening leftco Yeah, Seton.
Speaker 1: I love that Adam. One time, about thirteen years ago,
Speaker 1: I made a joke about how Dan's not a good singer,
Speaker 1: and he's never forgotten that. So I can speak. I
Speaker 1: love to sing here in the studio during commercial breaks,
Speaker 1: and and you know, I'll just start singing. I'll see seton,
Speaker 1: and then I'll go, yeah, I know I can't sing,
Speaker 1: and then I just keep walking and still singing. Do
Speaker 1: you sing or do you croon? Because I feel like
Speaker 1: you're much more of a crooner. I'm a lounge singer.
Speaker 1: Bobby goulay. Yeah, yeah, I'm bringing it. You snap when
Speaker 1: you sing too, don't you a little bit? Yeah? Oh? Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm sort of like Barry White, you know.
Speaker 1: I I'm very extremely white. And when I bring the
Speaker 1: voice down like this, the brother Barry Wayne, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's when you start to melt some hearts. I got,
Speaker 1: I got. I just said to get a little steamy.
Speaker 1: Had to take a paper towel for it. Oh, don't
Speaker 1: let your wife hear this. You're right, yeah, hutting you
Speaker 1: on mute. Yeah, Hey, great to talk to you again. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm gonna take the I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: over on the wedding and the marriage. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the over. Okay, I knew I loved you. I knew

Speaker 1: dot com. Slash Hatrick, what's pull question? We settled on
Speaker 1: the club, haven't put one up yet? I like your
Speaker 1: question to left go who wins the title first? Jannis,
Speaker 1: Luca Dante or let's throw in the joker too. Are
Speaker 1: any of these guys on a path to win a title? Well,
Speaker 1: Denver is Yeah. I get Jamal Murray back next year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And if they had Jamal Murray now, I wonder if
Speaker 1: they would be viewed as the favorites by Vegas. But
Speaker 1: they don't have him. They don't have they didn't have
Speaker 1: their backcourt. But they didn't need that against Portland, but
Speaker 1: you're going to need that against Phoenix. Yeah, Polly, what
Speaker 1: could they answer be none of the above, because don't
Speaker 1: you basically have to put together a super team or
Speaker 1: add so on major to do it? Like you know,
Speaker 1: it's either gonna be Golden State with when they had it,
Speaker 1: or the Nets or the Lakers, and it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be super teams or not. I guess Toronto's an outlier.
Speaker 1: They went in a couple of years ago. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they needed Kawai to be traded there that he wanted
Speaker 1: out of San Antonio, and that's how they looked into kawhim.
Speaker 1: And that feels like that was a long time ago,
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't. Yeah, McLevin, I think Lebron kind
Speaker 1: of spoiled it a little bit. We expect the best
Speaker 1: player to be able to at least get to the
Speaker 1: finals every year, and if Luca is the best player,
Speaker 1: you'd think he'd be able to do that. But it's
Speaker 1: maybe it's not that easy. No, it's not that easy.
Speaker 1: That's why, you know, when we look back twenty years
Speaker 1: from now, with what Lebron did by getting to the finals,
Speaker 1: it felt like every single year. Now. He didn't win
Speaker 1: all the time, obviously, but he got his team there,
Speaker 1: and some of those teams were nowhere near the talent
Speaker 1: level that Dallas has or certainly with what Milwaukee has.
Speaker 1: I mean that I still they got they got blown
Speaker 1: out by san Antonio. And I remember watching an NBA
Speaker 1: Finals game in Cleveland, and I was with John Barry,
Speaker 1: broadcaster for the Mothership, and I said, how how is
Speaker 1: Cleveland even here? And used to He started doing inventory
Speaker 1: of the players on the floor and he went, most
Speaker 1: of these guys shouldn't be starting. Some shouldn't even be
Speaker 1: in the NBA. That's that's I mean. And he was right,
Speaker 1: where you're going, they're not good. And san Antonio was
Speaker 1: great back then. We'll get to phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: Big night here YouTube dot com slash The Dan Patrick Show,
