Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It's the final hour in this Monday. Come on in,
Speaker 2: Jim Jackson, are good, Buddy Turner Sports NBA analysts will
Speaker 2: join us. Looking back on a pair of Game sevens.
Speaker 2: First time in NBA playoff history, the road teams won
Speaker 2: a pair of Game sevens. Timberwolves come back, they were
Speaker 2: down as many as twenty and they win. You know,
Speaker 2: factor that in you're going against the defending champs. You're
Speaker 2: on the road, playing at altitude, and you know, going
Speaker 2: against Joker and company. And you didn't even have a
Speaker 2: good performance from Anthony Edwards who went six to twenty four,
Speaker 2: but he did play good defense on Jamal in the
Speaker 2: second half of the game. Murray had a wonderful first half,
Speaker 2: got shut down in the second half. Pacers rolled the Knicks.
Speaker 2: When you're shooting sixty seven percent from the floor, your
Speaker 2: odds are pretty good that you're going to win one
Speaker 2: thirty to one oh nine. Capping those games, here's Mike Malone,
Speaker 2: the Nuggets head coach, and we start with a reporter's question.
Speaker 3: How hard is it just to absorb ale loss like
Speaker 3: this after going ahead.
Speaker 4: By twenty Nice question, man, the season's over. That's what's
Speaker 4: hard being up twenty season's over. You don't understand that
Speaker 4: the season's over.
Speaker 5: It's hard.
Speaker 2: It's stupid questions. Alrighty, I thought, okay, is it a
Speaker 2: tough question from the standpoint of not wanting to answer it.
Speaker 2: There's a cooling off period for both teams and coaches,
Speaker 2: and look, you're trying to process this that you lost.
Speaker 2: You've got to meet the media. What are you going
Speaker 2: to say? What are they going to ask? It is
Speaker 2: an obvious question, you know, how do you feel you
Speaker 2: blew a lead of twenty at home game seven? Fair question?
Speaker 2: Question is do you want to really answer it? And
Speaker 2: instead you want to bully the reporter? Uh set the
Speaker 2: tone of the press conference. I get that, but it's wrong.
Speaker 2: He just joins John. That's all. Yeah, Tons, it was
Speaker 2: too obvious.
Speaker 6: I didn't love the question because, of course, there's an
Speaker 6: obvious answer to that. I think you don't embarrass this
Speaker 6: guy in front of his colleagues. There's a myriad of
Speaker 6: ways to handle that. No matter how inane you think
Speaker 6: the question is or how obvious the answer is, you
Speaker 6: don't have to curse and just humiliate him in front
Speaker 6: of him.
Speaker 2: Well, you can be bland. I mean, you've got coaches
Speaker 2: who are blanned all the time or players who are
Speaker 2: bland all the time. We don't like it. Would I
Speaker 2: be playing Michael Malone's answer if it was bland, No,
Speaker 2: I would not. I'm playing it because you know he
Speaker 2: went after this reporter. Look, sometimes you're just trying to
Speaker 2: get you're trying to ask a question. I don't think
Speaker 2: he was going Kyle, Hey, you should be embarrassed. You
Speaker 2: blew a twenty point lead. How do you feel like
Speaker 2: he's kind of letting Michael Malone and the Nuggets off
Speaker 2: the hook a little bit now, just throwing the twenty
Speaker 2: point you're up by twenty. That may have set off
Speaker 2: Michael Malone. Anthony Edwards. He was entertaining after the win,
Speaker 2: and uh, you had some really really fun things from him,
Speaker 2: and uh, here are some of the questions. And it
Speaker 2: was along that run.
Speaker 7: I think it was something like thirty one to nine,
Speaker 7: maybe even better than that.
Speaker 5: From late in the or.
Speaker 8: Early in the third or early in the fourth, was
Speaker 8: there a sequence that where.
Speaker 9: You're like, Okay, we we got this.
Speaker 5: The game is back turn in our favor.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know turn around.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I think Rudy hit the turnaround.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, we probably got him.
Speaker 5: God, because I know that a kill you.
Speaker 10: I know that a kid, your whole that to kill everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big shout out the.
Speaker 5: Big room man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Rudy Gobert. Karl Anthony Towns on the podium
Speaker 2: with him, and UH also had this question to him.
Speaker 8: Usually an NBA history says you have to lose and
Speaker 8: lose big before you win.
Speaker 2: What is it about this team that says we lost
Speaker 2: last year?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's different.
Speaker 2: You have to lose out a bigger stage. Usually teams
Speaker 2: us the playoffs. We lost last year, we lost the
Speaker 2: last two years.
Speaker 5: Damn that much more.
Speaker 2: We got to lose. How much you want us to lose?
Speaker 1: Lose for twenty years?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just the truth. Anthony Edwards, Karl Anthony
Speaker 2: Town's key and peel.
Speaker 7: Those duds are fun. That's one of the more entertaining
Speaker 7: press conferences in recent memory.
Speaker 5: For sure.
Speaker 2: Certainly helps when you win. Yeah. Joker and Murray combined
Speaker 2: for sixty nine. The rest of the roster combined for
Speaker 2: twenty one. Minnesota had six players score at least ten
Speaker 2: or more points. Karl Anthony Town stepped up and that's
Speaker 2: what it was going to take. Anthony Edwards didn't have
Speaker 2: a good offensive game, but everybody else stood out, stood
Speaker 2: out and stood up and that's why they're advancing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's all these people on the internet too, talking
Speaker 7: about how Anthony Edwards turned into his character from the
Speaker 7: must from Hustle, because there's all of these just images
Speaker 7: of him looking at players from the Nuggets or whatever,
Speaker 7: and you know, he's just talking trash about like you
Speaker 7: guys are dead. You can't do it, you can't do
Speaker 7: We're coming back and we're going to beat you. You know,
Speaker 7: just that ruthlessness that he had, and that's the character.
Speaker 2: Pretty good. And then you had the nixt situation Game
Speaker 2: seven at home, banged up, but the Pacers got a
Speaker 2: great performance. Everybody shot.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: Here's Tyrese Haliburton on We're not surprised.
Speaker 11: We had a pre camp, preseason camp in Nashville, just players,
Speaker 11: no coaches, and that's that was what we communicated from
Speaker 11: the jump that we expected to be here. This ain't
Speaker 11: a surprise for us. You know, it's no fluke. We
Speaker 11: expect this from our group. And then once we added
Speaker 11: p We knew that we could really take off. So
Speaker 11: it doesn't really matter what anybody thinks, except for the
Speaker 11: people in our travel party seventy eighty.
Speaker 5: People who come.
Speaker 11: Because I don't think anybody here picked the Pacers to
Speaker 11: win the series, but it happened.
Speaker 2: I have a picture proof, Miles Turner echoing those nobody
Speaker 2: picked us the uh he's talking about p Pascual Siakam
Speaker 2: odds to win the title. According to DraftKings, you got
Speaker 2: the Celtics the big favorites, and then the Timberwolves, and
Speaker 2: then it's the MAVs and the Pacers. Pacers or plus
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred. The Celtics are minus one fifty. They
Speaker 2: better win the title. Let's see anything else in here now.
Speaker 2: I got over unders here for the Eastern Conference Tatum
Speaker 2: over under twenty eight point nine, Jalen Brown twenty four
Speaker 2: and a half, Haliburton nineteen point three over unders and
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference finals will start Tuesday. Wednesday, the West
Speaker 2: and Reggie Miller will be on the call for the
Speaker 2: Western Conference finals. Reg will join us on Wednesday's program
Speaker 2: NBC Sports Championship Season it continues the Indy five hundred
Speaker 2: that'll be Sunday at eleven am Eastern on NBC and
Speaker 2: also on Peacock. More of your phone calls coming up.
Speaker 2: We say good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, thank
Speaker 2: you downloading the app, welcoming us into your homes and
Speaker 2: our radio affiliates around the country as well. iHeartRadio, Fox
Speaker 2: Sports Radio operator Tyler standing by for your phone calls.
Speaker 2: More phone calls on Best and Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: And what's the poll question for the final hour of
Speaker 2: the program. Do we have a new one Seaton Counter.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're gonna put one up here. Which hurts more
Speaker 7: sports pain or actual physical pain?
Speaker 2: I would say sports pain because an injury heals. I
Speaker 2: got Falcons Fan twenty eight to three doesn't heal, Like
Speaker 2: if I if I have knee surgery, all right, I'm
Speaker 2: late up for a couple of months, and then now
Speaker 2: it's good. Replacement knee surgery all right, really hurts. Then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden it's gone and I'm good. Twenty
Speaker 2: eight to three doesn't leave.
Speaker 7: It's just like a hole in your life that just
Speaker 7: you cannot fill.
Speaker 2: What the heck is always there?
Speaker 7: You always just think back about, like bad losses like
Speaker 7: Seaton Hall Michigan. I'm always like, you know what, that
Speaker 7: was stupid, That was dumb, That was a garbage called
Speaker 7: Seaton Hall one, And then you imagine what would have
Speaker 7: happened for the next you know, almost forty years of
Speaker 7: building a program off of that one championship, but never
Speaker 7: gonna know they got robbed.
Speaker 2: No stupid? Yeah, yeah, I think sports losses like sometimes
Speaker 2: they're so painful, so dramatic. You didn't see it coming,
Speaker 2: or it's a slow burn if you see it coming
Speaker 2: and there's nothing you could do about it. Like physically
Speaker 2: you heal, mentally you don't. It's always there. All it takes.
Speaker 2: Something will trigger that, Hey it's March twenty eighth, Falcons fan,
Speaker 2: They'll be like, why why are you doing that to me?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 2: What time is it?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 2: It's uh three twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And that's what your friends are for, to remind you
Speaker 2: of those says, that's what friends are for.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: Brian in Mason, Hi, Brian, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 13: How are you doing? Dan? Thank you for calling. Yeah,
Speaker 13: I'm at Drew Brees five ten and a half one
Speaker 13: to eighty five. I was calling because you guys said,
Speaker 13: you know, when you have teams that look like they're
Speaker 13: going to be great, and you say, you know, injuries
Speaker 13: being a big part of that. The Cincinnati Angles when
Speaker 13: we lost the Super Bowl, looked like a team where
Speaker 13: everybody hung their head and said, if this wasn't the year,
Speaker 13: then when would be the year? And now it looks
Speaker 13: like if Joe Burrows doesn't stay healthy, then they won't
Speaker 13: be a team. There's no backup that you can put
Speaker 13: in with that team that brings them to a super
Speaker 13: Bowl level.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but like they weren't up where they lost
Speaker 2: in dramatic fashion, they had an opportunity. They forgot to
Speaker 2: block Aaron Donald. Had they blocked him on that play,
Speaker 2: the Bengals win the Super Bowl, right, Jamar Chase gets open,
Speaker 2: He's open because the dB falls down. I believe on
Speaker 2: that play.
Speaker 10: Yes, Ma, It's like when one of the forty nine
Speaker 10: ers Super Bowl losses, Jimmy Garoppolo overthrows the Mayl Sanders
Speaker 10: and I was like, oh, and they were up by
Speaker 10: ten in the fourth quarter. Yeah, but it wasn't twenty
Speaker 10: eight to three, or wasn't twenty to three in the
Speaker 10: middle of the third quarter. I always bring that up,
Speaker 10: not twenty three in the first quarter.
Speaker 2: Brit in Wisconsin. Hi, Britt, what's on your mind?
Speaker 5: How are you doing? Good?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 5: Five eight?
Speaker 14: All right, yeah, I'm I actually owned two shares of
Speaker 14: C's degree.
Speaker 2: Oh congratulations, now, thank you very much. How much do
Speaker 2: you get?
Speaker 5: What you think?
Speaker 14: No, I'm it's a couple of days for them to
Speaker 14: actually do the payout. But I know, I want to
Speaker 14: say I paid ninety eight bucks a.
Speaker 13: Share, okay for the horse.
Speaker 2: Okay, so there's two and seventy shareholders, right, And Paulie said,
Speaker 2: you're gonna make about four hundred dollars, but you have
Speaker 2: two shares, so you might be getting close to nine
Speaker 2: hundred dollars.
Speaker 14: That's not bad for sitting here yelling at the TV.
Speaker 2: And you'll get stud fees as well. But sees the
Speaker 2: Gray is owned by a company called my Racehorse, and
Speaker 2: Britt has a couple of shares. Y asked Pauline.
Speaker 15: With two shares, he's, uh, he should win about nine
Speaker 15: hundred and thirty dollars and he's his investment was about
Speaker 15: one ninety six.
Speaker 2: Right, he's having a good year. Divin it's a good return. Yeah,
Speaker 2: good return. Let me see art in California, High are
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13: Hi Dad, taking my call?
Speaker 16: Yeah, HIOPO five soft. So the Rangers won the World
Speaker 16: Series and we have a good chance that the Stars
Speaker 16: and the Mavericks to win. Yep, that's three Dallas teams winning.
Speaker 12: What what do you guys think the odds are on that?
Speaker 16: And you know what, I'd love to hear one of
Speaker 16: your favorite callers, and he's always great when he's on
Speaker 16: the air, Shane irvings that his Cowboys can't contribute to
Speaker 16: that whole thing.
Speaker 2: Well. On the last Gambling podcast, Shade didn't have high
Speaker 2: hopes for the Cowboys this year. But you're right, Art,
Speaker 2: you know, congratulations on Dallas. That's great with the Stars
Speaker 2: got the Mams Texas Rangers, although they technically are in Arlington.
Speaker 2: I mean, not to be a buzzkill, but like in
Speaker 2: the vicinity, yeah, seton.
Speaker 7: I feel like there have been places that have had
Speaker 7: multiple championships quite a few times, right, like yeah, but
Speaker 7: maybe Boston has had that like the same year though,
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2: It feels like the Bruins, Red Sox.
Speaker 7: Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots had a span where men
Speaker 7: I feel like they might have hit all four. Yeah, maybe,
Speaker 7: but it might not have been you know, it might
Speaker 7: have like like carried over from like one to the
Speaker 7: next year kind of.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Yeah, in a calendar year, if you want to use
Speaker 15: that definition. There's a few recently twenty twenty Tampa Bay
Speaker 15: Buccaneers and the Lightning, twenty twenty, the Lakers and the Dodgers,
Speaker 15: Greater Boston Area Patriots Red Sox and eighteen Patriots Red
Speaker 15: Sox and four.
Speaker 2: Have we had three three in a calendar season year?
Speaker 2: I'm checking. I mean, how many cities have three teams,
Speaker 2: first of all, and how many cities have three teams
Speaker 2: that are actually good? We're checking there.
Speaker 15: You got to go like the there's some like smaller
Speaker 15: sports that were included.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just talking about the four majors. Yeah, now
Speaker 2: I can't find that. Sean in Kansas, I Sean, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind?
Speaker 17: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call again. I appreciate it.
Speaker 17: I don't know if it's a best or worse. My
Speaker 17: dad is a Suns fan and I'm a Suns fan.
Speaker 17: I didn't know how you guys felt about this, but
Speaker 17: when the Timberwolves eat the Suns, I automatically start rooting
Speaker 17: for the Timberwolves. I do that with any team. That way,
Speaker 17: I can say, well, at least we lost to the champions.
Speaker 17: But my dad gets really angry and says I want
Speaker 17: them to get sweat because he's he's just spiteful. So
Speaker 17: I didn't know how you guys are.
Speaker 2: I would rather my team the team that beat my
Speaker 2: team that they went on to win, because then I
Speaker 2: would say, all right, you know, we stack up pretty
Speaker 2: well with the team that won the title I got.
Speaker 2: But I don't root for a team anymore. I stop
Speaker 2: rooting when I went to ESPN. But when I I
Speaker 2: was a fan rooting, then you'd be like, all right,
Speaker 2: they beat us. I hope they go all the way,
Speaker 2: because then I know we went toe to toe with them.
Speaker 10: Yes, Mark, am I crazy. I love it when my
Speaker 10: team isn't in a major championship. You're stress free. Last
Speaker 10: year watching the forty nine ers was so stressful. When
Speaker 10: it's the Super Bowl and I could just watch, I
Speaker 10: just want to see a good game.
Speaker 2: But you don't want that highest of highs.
Speaker 10: No, Okay, I've been getting the lowest of lowses of
Speaker 10: late regarding forty nine Ers.
Speaker 2: I know, but you're still so you're you would rather
Speaker 2: not have that possibility of having the highest of highs
Speaker 2: where you're winning a championship.
Speaker 10: It's weird because I just kind of feel like it
Speaker 10: is weird. It's stress free. You just kind of watch
Speaker 10: the championship game of whatever sport.
Speaker 2: Well, why don't you root for Carolina now instead of
Speaker 2: the Niners. It'll be stress free season. Never mind? Then, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean there are ways of own this. If you
Speaker 2: want to stress free season, you just root for certain teams.
Speaker 2: I would still want that highest of highs. What that's like,
Speaker 2: And that's part of being a fan, because you know,
Speaker 2: you put so much, you're invested so much, you're attached
Speaker 2: so much. That's why it hurts so much. But if
Speaker 2: you ever got that win, incredible? Is that all right?
Speaker 2: We'll take a break. Jim Jackson will join us, our
Speaker 2: good buddy. More phone calls coming up, and we'll take
Speaker 2: a break back after this.

Speaker 2: he joins us from his car. All right, let's play
Speaker 2: guess the car that Jim Jackson is driving, Todd, I'll

Speaker 2: O'Connor that, Oh man, I don't know about the shape
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 7: It looks maybe like land Rover issue. I'm gonna go
Speaker 7: with the g Wagon like the Boss.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Uh, Marvin, you want to guess,
Speaker 2: we can just go with range Rover. All right, Paulie
Speaker 2: off the board. It looks like a big car Lincoln Navigator.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Range Rover.
Speaker 12: Jim, Marvin must have been a brother, right because marbur
Speaker 12: knew it right away. He said it was brain drover.
Speaker 12: He knew you got it right.
Speaker 2: To Yeah, I think way man. Let me check, Marvin,
Speaker 2: are you still a brother? He said, you might have
Speaker 2: been a brother still in Okay, Yeah, yeah, Marve.
Speaker 5: He answered it real quick with authority, like you already
Speaker 5: knew that way back in the day.
Speaker 12: You knew what the Caddy was just you knew coming
Speaker 12: around the corner just by looking at the tail lights
Speaker 12: about a grill before it was a caddy.
Speaker 5: You already knew.
Speaker 2: What was the first car you got when you got paid?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 5: It was a BMW seven fifty.
Speaker 2: So that was at Ohio State.
Speaker 12: No, No, that was when I got paid when I
Speaker 12: went to the That was good.
Speaker 5: That was good.
Speaker 12: Now technically still at Ohio State that I declared for
Speaker 12: the draft. Okay, I see that great education prevared me
Speaker 12: for that one.
Speaker 5: That was a good one.
Speaker 2: Let me start with last night's game. At what point
Speaker 2: did this game change in your opinion in Minnesota go
Speaker 2: on to win.
Speaker 12: Probably when Minnesota, Minnesota was able to cut the league,
Speaker 12: you know, being down twenty at a half time and
Speaker 12: I was out running around with my son yesterday on
Speaker 12: daddy duties, but being able to And it's a funny thing, Dan,
Speaker 12: It's like momentum. They say it doesn't exist, Yes, no,
Speaker 12: but it does mentally, especially when you're able to cut
Speaker 12: into a lead in the third quarter and feel good
Speaker 12: about yourself going in the fourth quarter. Because mentally you're like,
Speaker 12: the game can change so quickly where it goes from
Speaker 12: a twenty point deficit down to ten and you're like, oh,
Speaker 12: that's only four or five possession. You know, we're right
Speaker 12: back in the game. And I I think that's where
Speaker 12: things kind of took a turn, because even though it
Speaker 12: was a twenty point game, it didn't feel like Minnesota
Speaker 12: was out of it, Like, you know, they cut it
Speaker 12: down to seventeen sixteen, went back up to twenty, so they.
Speaker 5: Were right there.
Speaker 12: But I thought, you know, going into the fourth Minnesota
Speaker 12: was in a really good position. You streamed together, some stops,
Speaker 12: make some shots, you cut it under ten, and now
Speaker 12: the pressure is on Denver to have to win.
Speaker 5: That at home.
Speaker 2: I'm also when I watched Anthony Edwards that you know,
Speaker 2: shooters shoot, but at some point you realize you've got
Speaker 2: to help the team in a different way. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's twenty two, and then all of a sudden they
Speaker 2: put him on Jamal Murray and defense won that game
Speaker 2: last night. Second half. Defense won that game, and I
Speaker 2: and they needed to have other weapons kind of fill
Speaker 2: in the gray area there. I kept waiting for Karl
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns like somebody had to be that second best guy,
Speaker 2: and they actually got you know, a lot more of
Speaker 2: a collective unit. I don't know how sustainable that is.
Speaker 2: This is a team built to beat Denver. Is this
Speaker 2: a team that is also built to beat Dallas?
Speaker 5: Well, let's go back to this.
Speaker 12: The team is built in a way where it doesn't
Speaker 12: have to rely on one particular player. I think the
Speaker 12: biggest jump from from Minnesota this year to last years
Speaker 12: a couple of things, not the biggest, but a couple
Speaker 12: of things. One, you had a full Mike camp Conley
Speaker 12: for training camp. I think that kind of you saw
Speaker 12: you know. No, no, it's not like the offense was
Speaker 12: in the top ten all year. But he gives you
Speaker 12: a certain about sustainability on the on the offense, when
Speaker 12: you need to get a basket, you need to get
Speaker 12: into a set, you need to get set up. He
Speaker 12: provised in for you that's what you need in particular
Speaker 12: in the game seven on the row when you need
Speaker 12: to make a basket.
Speaker 5: But I do believe too.
Speaker 12: With Kat changing his mindset last year was it was
Speaker 12: a lot of things going on, a lot of disrupt
Speaker 12: he and Anthony Edwards, he and Rudy Gobert. But I
Speaker 12: think Kat did an excellent job this year of kind
Speaker 12: of accepting the secondary role but still knowing that he
Speaker 12: could be very effective and will be needed. Even combined
Speaker 12: that with Jade McDaniel and to kill Alexander now os
Speaker 12: Reed and what those guys are they able to do.
Speaker 12: This gives you a really complete team. Now the channels
Speaker 12: are going to have, you know, against Dallas. Dallas is
Speaker 12: going to try to spread them apart. That's what you
Speaker 12: do with side. You want to spread that side and
Speaker 12: then attack individually. But I'll tell you what, man, It's
Speaker 12: something about this team. Chris Finch is an excellent job
Speaker 12: and the organization of kind of plugging and piecing together
Speaker 12: quality guys with Anthony being able to be the leader
Speaker 12: at a young age.
Speaker 5: But it's just his demeanor. He just doesn't care.
Speaker 12: He wants to play defense, he wants to pass, he
Speaker 12: wants to score, he wants to be the best. It's
Speaker 12: something about this Minnesota tea. Will this be the year?
Speaker 12: I don't know, but I'll tell you what I'm I'm
Speaker 12: having a hell of a time watching him play.
Speaker 2: Talking to Jim Jackson, Fox and Turner NBA analyst, I
Speaker 2: also kind of scolded people. If you're gonna say Anthony
Speaker 2: Edwards reminds you of Michael Jordan, then don't give up
Speaker 2: on him when you know they had to win the
Speaker 2: last two games. Now, if you believe he truly is
Speaker 2: a reincarnation of Jordan, or at least the embryonic stages,
Speaker 2: then you know he can do this because we didn't
Speaker 2: doubt Jordan. And that's why I said, don't doubt Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2: He can do this. But the confidence level at twenty two,
Speaker 2: did you ever run into somebody where you go, man?
Speaker 2: They got way too much confidence at an early age.
Speaker 5: AI. Oh yeah, A, I was like that, Alan Iberson.
Speaker 5: I mean it was.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 12: It's funny because I go back to when Anthony was
Speaker 12: in high school. Steve Smith, who works for Turner DNT,
Speaker 12: played at Michigan State, played the NBA. We were together
Speaker 12: a few times in Atlanta and he said, Jim, I
Speaker 12: got this young fella right here in Atlanta that I've
Speaker 12: been helping, you know, mentor there's yet a rough upbringing
Speaker 12: a little bit, but he got something in him. He's
Speaker 12: just different. He just built different. His mentality is different.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 12: I said, okay, let me keep an eye on me,
Speaker 12: you know. And I saw he went to Georgia and
Speaker 12: I could tell. I said, you won't be able to
Speaker 12: tell what kind of player he can be until he
Speaker 12: gets out of college. But his mentality is just so different,
Speaker 12: and it's lovable as likable. He is who he is.
Speaker 12: One thing about it. He's not caught up into that
Speaker 12: I know of himself. He knows how good he is.
Speaker 12: He'll tell you how good he is. But it's not overbearing.
Speaker 12: It's not overbearing to his teammates, to the coaching staff
Speaker 12: because he's willing to listen.
Speaker 5: He's willing to.
Speaker 12: Learn, and that's something you cannot teach. It has to
Speaker 12: be within you. And he's going to compete. I don't
Speaker 12: care who it is on the court. You So, I'm
Speaker 12: going at kd a song, going at Yoking Seaw, I'm
Speaker 12: going at Murray. He's gonna go ahead, he said, I
Speaker 12: can't wait. I want to guard Hyrie. How many of
Speaker 12: the young players dan accept wait? One want that challenge?
Speaker 12: Accept it and then if it doesn't work, it's on me,
Speaker 12: my bad. I'm not pointing a finger at everybody else
Speaker 12: trying to pass to blame.
Speaker 5: It's on me. You don't see that, And I think
Speaker 5: that's what makes him so special. Man.
Speaker 2: He's cocky but likable and.
Speaker 5: Yes, and he's right. When Berkeley played.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you liked him even though he was cocky.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 12: He gave you some great quote. And that's what and
Speaker 12: that's what and that's what Anthony is. He told he
Speaker 12: told Chuck, bring your ass, bring you to Minnesota.
Speaker 2: You know, did the Knicks have a good season.
Speaker 12: Yeah, in an outstanding season. If you detern the Knicks
Speaker 12: fans organization, you're a game away from getting to the
Speaker 12: Eastern Conference Finals at the beginning of the year. They
Speaker 12: would have took that all day long. So it's a
Speaker 12: matter of perspective. They'd have told you that that Jalen Brunton,
Speaker 12: would have been in the conversation for MVP, that Josh
Speaker 12: Hart and Dante Deepenchendo. But eventually it came off the
Speaker 12: bench would be your starters and had this kind of impact.
Speaker 12: They would have bought that all day long. Put your
Speaker 12: perspective change. When you start to have a little success,
Speaker 12: get a little ingredient, said no, we should have no. No, no,
Speaker 12: This right here, despite the injuries, was a very successful
Speaker 12: You could feel the energy in the garden through the
Speaker 12: TV man. It was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: How much pressure is on the Celtics.
Speaker 12: A lot because no Jokic is in there, no Durant,
Speaker 12: no Lebron, especially with Tatum and Brown is not Taylor
Speaker 12: made for them to win it. But it's They've been
Speaker 12: the Eastern Conference and you can't take that for granted
Speaker 12: on how difficult that is to get that thing. Jayden
Speaker 12: Brown has been there six times and Tatum five times,
Speaker 12: down to the Eastern Conference frontal and you know people
Speaker 12: say it like, oh, with this another Eastern Conference finals,
Speaker 12: Like if nothing mess stop it. It's extremely difficult, difficult
Speaker 12: to go through an eighty two game season and get
Speaker 12: to the Eastern or Western Conference finals right before championship.
Speaker 12: But again, it's expectation and it is an opportunity for
Speaker 12: this team to kind of set the table. Indiana's gonna
Speaker 12: be tough then now they're not gonna roll over. But
Speaker 12: I think a lot of people I think that I
Speaker 12: don't know what the odds did you see the odds
Speaker 12: busting with tinber lost but they lost? How how much
Speaker 12: did it go up? Because they were already favored there?
Speaker 2: But much of the increase big big favorite? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: certainly over the Pacers and you know decent uh favored
Speaker 2: over the Timberwolves.
Speaker 12: Yeah, but how do you deal with two? The question
Speaker 12: is going to be taking it one game at a time.
Speaker 12: Let's get through the Eastern Conference finals and then get
Speaker 12: to the finals and worry about the finals. Then, Okay,
Speaker 12: that's that's that has to be the goal, and you
Speaker 12: want to get through that. I'm gonna say rather quickly,
Speaker 12: say five or six games. You know, I think this
Speaker 12: Dallas series may go to seven.
Speaker 2: We were talking about painful sports moments like would you
Speaker 2: rather have physical pain in your body or the pain
Speaker 2: of what happens when your team loses.
Speaker 12: Physical physical I can't watch right now the Elite eight
Speaker 12: game when we lost the mision for some reason. Dan,
Speaker 12: When it comes on, I'm hoping for a different result,
Speaker 12: but it does not happen. We always end up moving
Speaker 12: it over time that shot by Trinz goes in and
Speaker 12: I get a chance to get to a Final four.
Speaker 12: The mental part stays anytime I and I'm blessed to
Speaker 12: do with Turner the Elite eight, Sweet sixteen, and every
Speaker 12: year when I get to that point, I dig back
Speaker 12: into the memory banks and the feeling of what if
Speaker 12: what if you know, we beat Michigan twice that year,
Speaker 12: what if we win that game and just get to
Speaker 12: a Final four?
Speaker 5: What would that feel like? Injuries? I've been through it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, the pain and but that feeling right there, Dan,
Speaker 12: it never leaves bro, never leave.
Speaker 2: You faced Duncan in the Spurs later in your career.
Speaker 12: You got them early, Oh I mean in the playoffs, yeah, oh,
Speaker 12: in the playoffs yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: But when you liked did you understand Duncan's greatness when
Speaker 2: you saw it?
Speaker 5: Well, it was.
Speaker 12: It was twofold, my first time. It was the year
Speaker 12: they wanted ninety eight ninety nine lockout your report. So
Speaker 12: that was my sixth six year in the league, sixth
Speaker 12: year in the league, seven sitting ninety eight, So six
Speaker 12: years in you could see that this young man was skilled.
Speaker 12: I think that was his second year because he and
Speaker 12: Rashid were kind of going at it, and and that
Speaker 12: year David Robinson played well. But you could tell this
Speaker 12: this young man and you you question, like, okay, you
Speaker 12: have center. Is he a power for it? I mean,
Speaker 12: what is he? He's so skilled. But then I got
Speaker 12: a chance to meet him again when I was later
Speaker 12: in my career, when he had evolved so much and
Speaker 12: already won championships when I was with Phoenix, and just
Speaker 12: watched that evolution of a guy just going to work
Speaker 12: about his business so tough. I'm like, what do you
Speaker 12: take away? And he became a better free throw shooter,
Speaker 12: so before you could follow him, put him to the
Speaker 12: line and you know he may make one out of
Speaker 12: two and you okay late in the game situation, No,
Speaker 12: I mean, and he just went about his business in
Speaker 12: a professional manner that it was hard to talk get
Speaker 12: to him. It's hard to get him right because he wouldn't.
Speaker 12: He'd just give that stare looking. He's like, man, I'm
Speaker 12: just wasting my time and it ain't even worth it. Man,
Speaker 12: it ain't not even worth it.
Speaker 2: But who's the player you played against? Where you go,
Speaker 2: I don't know how he's doing it? Like, I don't
Speaker 2: get it, because there are certain certain times you'll watch,
Speaker 2: like Brunson and he's putting up forty four Joker, you'll
Speaker 2: watch and you go, I don't know how he's doing
Speaker 2: or Lucas putting up sixty and twenty and you're going,
Speaker 2: I don't know. They're just certain players that you go,
Speaker 2: I don't I don't get it. Was there a yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 5: Guy, Yeah it is.
Speaker 12: I'm trying to think of who during my time period
Speaker 12: because it was so many and it's not the star.
Speaker 5: It's just.
Speaker 12: Man' that's a great I had to get back to
Speaker 12: you on that one. That's a great question because the
Speaker 12: stars are going to be a star. You're like, even
Speaker 12: with he's so down on it and he understands the
Speaker 12: game he's and he had a ball in his hands,
Speaker 12: you go put numbers up. You're talking about the guy
Speaker 12: that you're looking at, like, oh man, not athletic, probably
Speaker 12: you know, probably doesn't have height, but yet and still
Speaker 12: that's a good question. I had to get back to
Speaker 12: you on that one. Old age Dan old age.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I'm catching up to you. I'm catching up
Speaker 2: to you know. I looked up to you when I
Speaker 2: was growing up in Ohio and just want to like,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 5: I appreciate that. Yeah, mighty days. What was your mascot
Speaker 5: of Jaysville?
Speaker 2: H Well, I was only born in Zanesville. I grew
Speaker 2: up right by King's Island.
Speaker 12: Yeah, oh yeah, Mason. That's the problem. See, that's the problem.
Speaker 12: See because Cedar Points is a lot better than King's
Speaker 12: Gold bro. Sorry, we would never go to King guy.
Speaker 2: I would never go to Cedar Point unless I was
Speaker 2: about to steal your girlfriend.
Speaker 5: Well that's see, that's your problem. See you did.
Speaker 12: You didn't expand your rides enough, because what did you
Speaker 12: We had the Gemini and the Demon dropping all of
Speaker 12: that to the point which you have You had one roller, big, big,
Speaker 12: that was it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was yeah. We were the Mason comics.
Speaker 2: We were the Mason No, don't, don't, don't don't. You
Speaker 2: had to grow up around Cleveland. Man. No Toledo, man, well,
Speaker 2: same thing, that same thing. Don't don't break. Don't give
Speaker 2: me a brag on Toledo.
Speaker 5: Damn did you? Did you know history? Lesson this this
Speaker 5: because you want to know, I know you do.
Speaker 12: In the forties and fifties, big banking area, Toledo, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Speaker 12: those areas were hugs because of water rail banking.
Speaker 5: Not Cincinnati, you know, not Columbus. You know that dating Toledo, Well.
Speaker 2: That's great to know that it was in the forties
Speaker 2: and fifties. That has nothing to do with now.
Speaker 5: But that's when you were born. So I was just saying.
Speaker 2: Again, I looked up to you when you were at
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and I go, I want to be that
Speaker 2: good and get paid that much money when I'm in
Speaker 2: college too.
Speaker 5: College.
Speaker 12: You know what?
Speaker 2: How about that Elite eight game? Remember when Jim Jackson
Speaker 2: was in the Elite eight against Michigan and they pull
Speaker 2: that video.
Speaker 12: Paulill It, I would never come back on the show.

Speaker 2: a couple of phone calls, Jay in West Virginia. Jay,
Speaker 2: been holding a while? What's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Hey? Dan?
Speaker 5: What's going on?
Speaker 14: But?
Speaker 5: Amen?
Speaker 20: Hey, I don't really have a worst. I got two bests.
Speaker 20: The first best was Saturday. I was a Caxino playing
Speaker 20: poker and I was up a few hundred, and my
Speaker 20: mother passed away in October. She always been on the Grays.
Speaker 20: So I put one hundred on seas the Gray, which
Speaker 20: paid I think a thousand at the nine to one,
Speaker 20: I believe. So I took the nine hundred and I
Speaker 20: parlayed it back on basketball, which I never do, and
Speaker 20: I had three hundred on the Pacers money line. Three
Speaker 20: hundred on Wolves money line, and then I did the
Speaker 20: two together as a parlay at the three hundred.
Speaker 2: So how much do we make?
Speaker 9: Jay?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 18: Well, if I family is gonna come out of the
Speaker 18: wood looking for me, it's gonna find me if I
Speaker 18: actually tell you.
Speaker 12: But look, I took the week off, so.
Speaker 2: Good for you, Jay.
Speaker 13: All right.
Speaker 2: By the way, we have the worst gambling podcast in America.
Speaker 2: That's what we should call it, The Guys who Gamble?
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, yeah, yes, that and we should change
Speaker 2: it from Dan Patrick takes a gamble too. These are
Speaker 2: the worst gamblers in America, Shay and Irving Dylan and
Speaker 2: also bad Larry. They're not very good gamblers. They have
Speaker 2: they have moments. But I think you could make a
Speaker 2: lot of money betting against the guys who are telling
Speaker 2: you who to bet on. Uh Bergie and Florida. Hey
Speaker 2: BURGI welcome back.
Speaker 12: Thanks Dan.
Speaker 9: Just before I get to mind real quickly, on just
Speaker 9: the back of the envelope, math here on his three
Speaker 9: hundred dollars parlay alone without the other two bets. That's
Speaker 9: at least like five six grand on a three hundred
Speaker 9: dollars parlay on the two underdogs, but maybe more on mine.
Speaker 9: I just wanted to clarify. When you guys are talking
Speaker 9: about twenty five hundred shareholders, so you do the math
Speaker 9: that way. That's the number of shareholders, but the number
Speaker 9: in the horse, the number of shares is five thousand shares,
Speaker 9: so it actually be half the amount you were saying
Speaker 9: per share. Okay, So twenty five hundred people in five
Speaker 9: thousand shares, and I did the math on that, they
Speaker 9: actually paid one hundred and twenty seven dollars each per share,
Speaker 9: So it's about a six hundred and thirty five thousand
Speaker 9: dollars horse that they paid for.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, thank you Bergie doing the math there.
Speaker 2: When we started, I told the dan Enz they didn't
Speaker 2: have to do math, and they were fine with that.
Speaker 2: But you're gonna have stud fees for a horse that
Speaker 2: won the Preakness. Stephan in Texas, Hey, Stepan.
Speaker 21: Adp Hey first round, longtime, six foot two thirty. Hey
Speaker 21: wanted to say, as a Falcons fan that twenty eight
Speaker 21: to three it does never leave you. Not only do
Speaker 21: your friends constantly bring it up to you, but it
Speaker 21: also just there and it eats at you in the
Speaker 21: back of your mind. They say, all wounds heal of time. No,
Speaker 21: that's a lie recovered from this one.
Speaker 2: Thank you Bud. Brian in Virginia, Hey Brian.
Speaker 8: Hey Dan. To follow that up, I've gone as a
Speaker 8: Broncos thing. I've kind of gone through all that. We've
Speaker 8: got a heartbreak with a blowout loss in the super Bowl,
Speaker 8: but then a two years later we win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8: The blowout really inercs that you. I mean, you question
Speaker 8: everything even when your team's doing good. But I will
Speaker 8: never trade in that feeling at the end, even doubting
Speaker 8: up till the last second in that Carolina game. I
Speaker 8: will never trade in that doubt of winning. No one
Speaker 8: left to beat. All the pain and the heartache is
Speaker 8: worth it. And to that land of Falcons, you never
Speaker 8: know Ennis to be your guy and it'll be worth it.
Speaker 8: And if you believe this much time.
Speaker 2: So thank you Brian. The fact that Marvin wouldn't want
Speaker 2: his team to get to a championship game because you
Speaker 2: don't want to go through the pain in if they lose.
Speaker 10: Oh no, no, if they if they're out. I'm not
Speaker 10: heartbroken over you know what. I'm gonna just watch the
Speaker 10: Super Bowl or the World Series or whatever. I just
Speaker 10: enjoyed the game, but.
Speaker 2: You said you would rather have it stress free. That
Speaker 2: your team doesn't play in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 10: That's that's a silver lining when your team doesn't make it.
Speaker 10: Trying to be optimistic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get it, Paulie.
Speaker 15: This day in sports history, nineteen forty eight, Joe Demagio
Speaker 15: hit us for the cycle in his second game that season.
Speaker 15: Nineteen fifty nine, New York Yankees were in last place
Speaker 15: for the first time in twenty seasons. Nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 15: Roger Clemens got his first pro victory OH six, Barry
Speaker 15: Bonds tied Babe Ruth for second place with home run
Speaker 15: seven to fourteen. And in twenty fifteen, this is a
Speaker 15: good one, the NFL announced that extra points where we
Speaker 15: kicked from the fifteen yard lines starting with a twenty
Speaker 15: fifteen season.
Speaker 2: That was a big deal. Yeah, affected the play big deal.
Speaker 2: On this date, nineteen ninety nine, this player became the
Speaker 2: first player to hit grand slams both ends of a
Speaker 2: double header. Nineteen ninety nine Grand slam in each of
Speaker 2: the doubleheaders both games. Marvin Greig Vaughan, Oh, Paul Fernando Tatis,
