Speaker 3 (02:09):
The ultimate in space convenience.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yes, all right, got to play the day coming up
stat of the Day poll question. Seaton has the honors
before we dive into what the heck happened last night
at Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, we might as well start at Madison Square Garden.
If you are a Knicks fan. The most frustrating part
of last night's ending was not that did okay h
fouling on the three, not fouling on the other three
or missing free throw.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, if you make your free throws, the other stuff
won't matter. If you're going to foul on a three,
then really foul on a three, and don't let him
get the shout out. Then the other three foul before
he takes the three. I'm watching and I go, no, no, no, no, no,
there's no reason to be crowding MAXI when he's shooting

(03:01):
the three. No, no reason. Three doesn't kill you. And
then Maxie comes and he gets to half court. Embiid
sets a moving screen. MAXI then pull up logo bang,
I can't let him shoot the three. I foul him
as soon as he gets even remotely close to half court.

(03:23):
Before the playoffs, there had been only three games in
the last twenty five years that had seen a team
recover from a deficit of at least five points inside
the final thirty seconds and win the game. We've had
two in the same series in the last ten days.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Stead of a day, stant of a day, Statuta day,
stand outa day.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
This is the stat of the Day stat of the Day,
brought to you by Panini America, the trading cards for
the Dan Patrick Show. So for forty seven minutes and
thirty seconds, it seemed like the Knicks had done more
than enough to win the series and advance to the
Eastern Conference semifinals. Too much, Tyrese Maxi in a good

(04:15):
way for Philly, too much Jalen Brunson in a bad
way for the Knicks in that final two minutes or so.
But Tyrese Maxey it's his team now because Joe l ENBII.
He was a detriment to the seventy six ers, certainly
in the fourth quarter. But I have to give him
credit though. He was least out there and nearly had
a quadruple double and that includes turnovers. But he's not effective.

(04:39):
They pulled him out. He's trying at least, and I
think Nick Nurse did the right thing that as great
as he can be, he's battling an awful lot to
be out there and Tyrese Maxey was like, I got this,
I'll take over here. But the back and forth between
Maxie and Brunson certainly a whole lot to watch. And
now you got Thursday night back in Philly nine o'clock,

(05:03):
who you got? Can you just wash this away? If
you're Philadelphia, do you say, hey, Okay, that game is over,
let's focus on this game right now. And if you're
the Knicks, you definitely go. I don't know, we've moved
past that. We're not even talking about it. Here's the
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeaux. Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Tough way to lose because you know, you get up,
you know, six eight, and then you know, we had
a couple of turnovers and we got to just you know,
be better, play tougher with the lead, use good judgment,
fourth quarters, different understand what you know, the difference, so
we can do better and we will.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I just don't know why Mitchell Robinson was close to
tyre SPAXI, you're I mean, he wants you in the air,
he wants to get found a four point play or
at least he's going to be shooting three free throws.
And then the worst case scenario gets you in the
air and then he bumps you, draws contact and you
make three. Either just be there and contested.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
You're six nine, six ' ten. It's okay. It doesn't
kill you. A four to four point play now, all
of a sudden, we got a game. And then as
he dribbling up and I thought, okay, they're going to
fail him. So you're down three, they're down three just
fouling two free throws, you get the ball, best case

(06:25):
scenario for you. Okay, he still made two free throws,
we got the ball. We're still leading by one. You
can't let him have and I know when he took
the shot, I was like, well, he's got like six
seconds left. But it was an open look for him
because if he got any closer than maybe they were
going to foul or he's going to get a more

(06:46):
contested three. But you're going to take a thirty three
foot jumper or heave whatever it was. And this was
a play. Here's the seventy six ers head coach Nick Nurse.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Well, you know we had to get up the floor
quick and get a three ball up right. I'm glad
that we didn't mess around and try to keep working
for something or whatever. We had a little little play
called that has a counter to it, and one of
the options is him just pulling up. Now, I know
that was a deep one, but he raced it up

(07:19):
there and took his chance.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, it was a play, and Embiid sets the pick
at half court. He knew that he was going that.
Maxi had made up his mind. You set the pick,
I'm shooting it. And the Knicks were slow to respond
to that with the pick and Maxi pulled up and
hit it. And the way he was out of his
mind in the last fourth court, in the fourth quarter,

(07:42):
I mean, you can't let him have the ball. That's
the only guy I worry about on the floor. That
was it. I didn't worry about Embiid, no one else.
And you can't let him have the ball. And if
you do, you must foul him. Make him make two
free throws. But man, the pressure got to the Knicks.
Josh Art free throw. O, Man, it got tight. You

(08:04):
short that's nerves, Yes, sure, yes, when you short it,
that's nerves. And I was like, whoa, It got real
in the garden. But give credit to the sixers. I
thought they were dead but then go back to Game
two where I thought that the Knicks were dead and

(08:24):
then they had the miraculous comeback. But last night, back
and forth. You got celebrities in the garden. Patrick Ewings there,
John Starks is there, you had all the stars there,
Ben Stiller's there, and then all of a sudden, Wait,
what what happened? Wait, we're going into overtime? No, no,

(08:46):
we got this, we got Wait were the Knicks fans
remember me? Yeah? But man, oh man, oh man, you
got a lot of guys. I think four sixers played
over forty seven minutes here, and what can you expect
out of Joe Ellenbiid as the series goes back to Philadelphia? Yes, Mark,

(09:07):
I like.

Speaker 7 (09:07):
The Knicks and Game six they got another home game.
I think they'll get rid of it.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Are they going to have another home game in Philadelphia? Oh?

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Easily?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Wait, you don't think the Sixers are Now the fans
are like, you know what, maybe we don't sell those
tickets to.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
The Knicks, but if the Knicks fans are willing to
pay double, then I'm selling O's And I'm gonna watch
in the Bessie in the house and that's on my living.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Room and then the Oh, by the way, the other
two games it went great finish with the Cabs and
the Magic, great finish. So now Cabs up three to
two in the Magic and the Bucks without their stars
beating the Pacers. Huh. But here's the thing, and we've
seen this before. Star player goes down or star players

(09:50):
go down, the other guys go, hey, I get to shoot.
Bobby Portis is like, yeah, hey, I used to be
a good scorer. You know, they all used to be something.
And then all of a sudden you realize they're guys
who will played better than you. And now all of
a sudden you're going, hey, I might get fifteen twenty
shots here. And the Pacers are like, they don't have Dame,

(10:10):
they don't have Giannis, No need to worry. Until you
got to worry and give credit to Milwaukee. I did
not see that when coming. All right, what other poll
questions do we have their seaton?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well, if you were Lebron James, which would.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Be more important to you.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Playing on a winner or playing with your son?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
All Right, I'm gonna save this for a little bit
later on, but Lebron did put out a tweet last
night that he's heard the reports about his future, and
he said it last night. He'll say it again that
he doesn't know what he's going to do. He's just
going to spend time with his family and friends. When
I know after speaking with family, my counsel as well
my representation. I'll let you guys know. The only thing

(10:53):
I thought of was WOJE put out that Lebron says
playing with his son not as important, Okay, And the
only thing I thought with that is who leaked that?
Because I would think Lebron pretty tight quarters there. How
many people know that information? And did Lebron want that

(11:16):
information out? Is That's what I thought. Hey, I think
you know, whatever I do or stay with the Lakers
or it's not dependent on playing with my son. How
did that get out? Unless Lebron wanted it out?

Speaker 5 (11:30):
All right?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Phone calls, we'll get to those coming up. Any other
poll questions, We'll get to the Lebron topic a little
bit later on.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, Yeah, we got a few others. I think we're
going to jump right off with the Knicks though, and
so and everybody's hot on.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
All right, by the way, Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclahaney,
the actor hot Yes, welcome to Wrexham. That's a new
season for them, So we'll talk to those two coming
out a little bit later on show. Yeah it is.
I've done a really good job with that and the
fact that the team is winning. You know, it was
a novelty and the locals wanted to know if those

(12:03):
guys really cared about their soccer club. And then all
of a sudden they do care, and we'll ask them
about that that they didn't know anything, they didn't know
what they were doing, and all of a sudden, you
buy a soccer club. Well, okay, you're buying something, but
that's that means everything to that community. They want to know,
do you really care about this soccer club?

Speaker 3 (12:24):
And it's crazy too because they're just about they're like
on the brink of going out of business, and here
come these dudes that are like, we're gonna pump all
this money into it, and they're still like, I don't
know if we trust you though.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
NBA tonight, the Heat are getting fourteen against the some
I don't remember. Maybe we could find out when's the
last time a team was you know, double digit underdogs
in just about every game. It feels like because I
think it's been like ten and a half, ten and
a half now fourteen against the Celtics, who are without

(12:55):
Christops Porzingis. It says for a couple of games the
MAVs they are giving three to the Clippers tonight. In
case you're wondering over under for Luca is thirty two
and a half. I don't know if I guess Kawhi's
not playing again. They should just let us know when
he's playing, because then I'm like, oh, Kawhi's playing, I

(13:20):
just assume he's not playing. Man. They're saddled with that contract.
Didn't they just extend him. Did he get one of
those five for two hundred and fifty million? Oh? I know, yeah, Paul, I.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
Think he got three years, one hundred and fifty million dollars.
Oh so, and every penny is guarant it's.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Still fifty million dollars a year.

Speaker 8 (13:44):
Yeah. So he's under contract for the next three seasons
at fifty million dollars and there's no way out.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, yeah, yes, Marv.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
They needed to start a kind to be there when
they open up their new arena in Englewood.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Hey, he's kind of here.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
He'll be there for the game all Yeah, he's going
to be there. He'll be on the cover of the
Media Guide, ribbon cutting. Yeah, it's going to be in
street clothes, smiling. Yeah. Yeah, that k me. It ain't
getting better unless you get a new one. If you
get a new one, you're not playing basketball anymore. All Right,
we'll take a break. Tim Bontemps, he covers the NBA

(14:23):
for the Mothership. He was there at the garden last night.
How does the how do the New York Knicks recover
from this? Going back to Philly? What can we expect
out of Joe lmb And He covers the NBA so
we can talk to him about a couple other topics here,
including Lebron who says I haven't made a decision yet
on if he's going to stay opt out, wants his

(14:45):
son to play? Is he going to go where his
son's drafted? So a lot of that is kind of
in a state of flux. Here, take a break here,
just getting started hour one on this Wednesday Dan and
the Dan EDG. Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Tyrese Maxi scored seven points in the final twenty five
seconds of regulation, finished with forty six as the seventy
six ers surprise the New York Knicks in overtime. Tim Bontemps,
ESPNNBA reporter covering the series late night at the Garden
early morning on The Dan Patrick Show. Tim, thanks for
joining us. How would you described the atmosphere pre game

(16:02):
or right before tipoff?

Speaker 10 (16:05):
I mean, Dan, I would say from then up until
the time out twenty eight point nine seconds ago, there
was a NonStop party at the garden. It was the
first time in twenty five years, if they had won
the game, that the Dicks had closed out a team
at home in the playoffs since Game six of the
conference finals in nineteen ninety nine when the last went

(16:26):
to the finals. Everybody there felt like it was going
to happen last night. And when deucemit Bride hit that
jumper to go up six with twenty eight point nine
seconds ago, Nick Nurse called timeout, and the entire time out,
everybody in the building was on their feet. The press
box was shaking, People are going crazy. Seemed like the
whole thing was in the bag. And then when the

(16:48):
game ended and Tyres had hit those shots and it
went to overtime, the only noise in the building was
the PA system through the entire three minute time out
until overtime started, because everybody wasn't even doing They just
all look like John Stewart in that picture he tweeted
out of him with Tyre's Maxy going by him, of

(17:08):
everyone just standing there with their mouths open, going how
did we just see this happen again? In reverse from
what happened in game two ten days earlier.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
How do you explain this loss?

Speaker 10 (17:19):
I don't know how I explained the series, Dan, Honestly,
the two teams are separated by two points. Over five games,
the Sixers have outscored the Knicks by two. Every game
has been close, every game has had something crazy happen
in it. When Tyre's hit the first shot, I actually tweeted,
is there a world where this could happen again? Because

(17:40):
we had literally just seen the Knicks come back from
down five with twenty eight seconds to go. And to
put this into context for people, there's been there had
been three times in the last twenty five years that
a team had come back from down five and the
final thirty seconds and won a playoff game. And then
it's happened twice in the same building in the same
series in ten days. Sums up how absurd the series

(18:02):
has been. And as a Neutron, is glad that it's
still going on because it's been incredibly fun to cover,
and I'm excited for Game six and Philly tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
But I'm looking at the Knicks and we can all
agree they're will coached. But I would think you would say,
you know, can test the three. Don't try to block
the three, right, Like, that's all, that's just common sense.
There can test, but don't don't, you know, encroach on him,
don't get close to him, don't let him draw contact

(18:30):
and then foul him. You know, when he's coming up
and he can take a three, he makes two, we
get the ball. We're still going to win this game. So,
like which coaching decision, I don't know if it was
a coaching decision. I'm assuming these things are said in
the timeout. Yeah, of course.

Speaker 10 (18:49):
I mean, look, if you're going to have a game
and like this, a lot of things have to go wrong.
So Mitchell Robinson should have just let tyres Ma actually
shoot a three. Basically, right, you're up seven with twenty
eight seconds go. Who cares if you even makes a three.
He's got they have to score three times in theory
to come back and get in the game. So Tyre,

(19:09):
you know, he hit, they're up six, he fouls them,
he makes the foul shot. Then they come down, they
trap Josh Hart, they foul him. Josh Hart's just got
to make two free throws. He splits the free throws,
just like last week Kyle Lowry split the free throws
to forty five seconds ago set up all the other craziness.
Then Timms was yelling for the Knicks to foul. But
I give them some sympathy on that because Tyrese is

(19:32):
super fast, is coming flying up the court and frankly
he pulled up from forty feet and hit an insane shot.
But and even then, the Knicks had the ball with
eight seconds left, chance to win the game. And the
underrated thing and everything that went on is Janaln Bruntsey
gets isolated on Nick Batoomb and Batum makes a fantastic
play and blocks his shot clean, doesn't foul him, doesn't

(19:53):
come close, and make sure that the Knicks don't get
the game winner. Baron sends the game to overtime. And
actually like the fact that Tips did call time out there,
because with all the craziness that was going on, they
had a lot better chance of getting a clean look
just letting Jalen take the ball and go. So yeah, look,
the Nick's had a lot of things they would like
to take back in that stretch, but they even came
out in overtime and hit Jalen brunsonhead five or six

(20:17):
points in the first minute and they were up five
or six, it looked like they were going to recover
and win the game, and the Sixers just found a
way to fight back again and somehow extend the series.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Joe ellenbi It's tough to even say this with a
guy who had a triple double, but I give it
was kind of a hollow triple double, nearly a quadruple
double with turnovers there. It felt like he was a
detriment to this team late in the game. But I
have to be respectful of what he's playing through to
even get to this point. So what do you expect

(20:48):
out of Joe Ellenbiid as the series goes back to Philly.

Speaker 10 (20:52):
I expect the bay Fell is going to be quite
tired because he's only got one day between these games.
He was very tired after the game last night. I mean,
he played forty eight and it's and look, he had
a horrible stretch in the fourth quarter where Nick Nurse
again left him in to start the fourth quarter. Think
that's a mistake. When Embiid gets tired, he starts to
make a lot of careless decisions with the ball. He
was flinging the ball over the place. To your point,

(21:13):
almost had I think he had nine turnovers in the game,
But look, the guy's playing through he's coming back from
this knee injury. He's dealing with Bell's palsy, which people
don't know means that basically half your face is frozen.
Not a permanent thing, but it's obviously not ideal for
somebody trying to play basketball that their eye doesn't close
all the time. And you know, he's also he had

(21:36):
a migraine yesterday, and he's just a huge guy that's
not used to playing forty eight minutes in games. So look,
he thought he played terribly yesterday, he was the first
person to say that, but he was able to summon
it and make three fantastic defensive plays in the final
ninety seconds of overtime that helped clinch the game for Philly.

(21:56):
And I think the biggest thing after the game when
I talked to him was for years, Joel has sort
of jokingly lamented he hasn't had a Jamal Murray next
to him, right, it's always been jokichen Embiid who's the
better player. And he's always said, look, I don't have
a guy that's going for fifty in playoff games. And
there's also been a lot of debate about what his
future is going to be over the years. Where is

(22:17):
he going to play? Is he going to be in Phillies.
He's got to go somewhere else. I would say after
this series, and especially after Game five, I think all
that stuff could be put to bed. And Joel Embiid,
who has loved play with Tyres MAXI has been his
biggest supporter for years now, is very happy to have
a young, precocious superstar next to him who's putting up
forty six at the Garden in Game five, reprising the

(22:38):
role of Reggie Miller, and you looking like a guy
that should be able to play with him for a
long time to come and be, frankly, a pretty perfect
partnership for the Sixers.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Tim Bontemps covers the NBA ESPN NBA Reporter covering the
seventy six Ers and the Knicks. Can either of these
teams go to the NBA Finals?

Speaker 11 (22:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (22:59):
I think they can, Dan, but that's more because I
think there's some chance that the Celtics could falter, rather
than I would say they're going to be favored to
get there. Whoever wins this series should win the next round.
I mean, obviously the Bucks are if they're able to
come back and beat the Pacers after the Pacers somehow
let them get back in the series last night, We'll

(23:19):
see where their health status is at. But the Knicks
or Sixers, I think would be favored pretty clearly to
beat the Bucks or Pacers in the next round. Then
you're in the conference finals and you're one your four
wins away from the finals. And as we saw in
Miami the other night, Christas Porzingis messes up his calf,
that's a tricky injury. He could be out for a
while and he's a critical part of what Boston does

(23:40):
Without him on the court. They get back to the
team they've been the last few playoffs, which is very
isolation heavy, taking a lot of threes, not a lot
of other options on offense. And while that certainly should
be good enough for Boston to win, it's not a guarantee,
as we saw last year with Miami's, we've seen in
the past with Celtics, and especially if they play one
of either a Philly team that's gone through the fire

(24:02):
a couple rounds and maybe exercise and Demons, or this
nixt team that is just big and physical and super
tough mentally and plays really hard. Both of them I
think could give Boston a lot of trouble inside and
potentially make that a very competitive series.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Before I let you go, everybody seems to have an
opinion on Lebron. Lebron says he doesn't have an opinion yet,
but somehow that information got leaked, which I'm thinking it
got leaked by Lebron that it doesn't matter playing with
his son. Your thoughts on Lebron's future what makes the
most sense?

Speaker 10 (24:35):
I mean, I don't think there's really much the debate
whether it makes sense or not. I think he's clearly
going to be with the Lakers. I'd be very surprised
if he's elsewhere. And look, the Lakers have spent the
past few years, you know, not putting all that good
of a team around Lebron. They've let a lot of
talent out the door. They lost to cacp two years
in a row. They could have had Coatavious Cabo Pope's

(24:56):
stay on their team. They traded him in the Russell
Westbrook trade, which is one of the worst trades in
recent memory. They could have kept Alix Caruso and did
it You know they've made a lot of personnel mistakes.
They could have got Mike Conley in the trade they
got the ends of the Russell Mike Conley would have
been a huge difference maker for the Lakers. So I
think what makes the most sense for Lebron is probably

(25:17):
to stay with the Lakers and for the Lakers to
make some smart personnel decisions this summer and upgrade the
roster around him, because if you have him and Anthony Davis,
that should be good enough to be a contender in
the West. And instead, as we've seen over the last
couple of years, the Lakers are still a clear level
below Denver. And as you look at Minnesota in Oklahoma
City and these other younger teams in the West, they're

(25:38):
only going up and the Lakers are either flat lining
or going the other way.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Good stuff, Save travels to Philly. Thank you, Tim, Thanks Dan.
That's Tim bond Temps covering the NBA for the Mothership
and he'll be going to Philly Thursday night, game five.
Give me an idea of what it's going to cost
to get into the seventy six ers next game in Philly.

Speaker 8 (26:00):
Okay, this is vividseats dot Com. You you can. The
get in price is a one hundred and fifty eight dollars.
That's the best price. Those are nosebleed seats. But right
now there's I'm looking at least a couple thousand tickets
are available for sale. Right now, over two thousand fans
are shopping for tickets. Those are likely Knicks fans now
Game seven if it goes back to the Knicks at

(26:21):
MSG the get in price, the lowest get in price
is four hundred and fifty two dollars. How much for
court side seats? Game six seventy six ers Nicks?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Well, are those for sale? Because it feels like those
are celebrities.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
I've got Yeah, they mostly are saved for celebrities, but
there are some floor seats in the baseline behind the basket.
Two baseline seats cost one five grand. Pretty close, it's
forty four hundred.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Okay two. I was wondering about this as I'm looking
at the celebrities there the Knicks game. At what point
can you tell all a celebrity they're not as big
of a celebrity as they once were. Therefore, somebody else
might be taking their seat where you don't get front
row because somebody. That's somebody's job. When somebody's now you

(27:13):
don't have John Stewart doesn't call, you know, his assistant
calls or his agent manager calls. But at what point
can you say that in a delicate way of somebody
court side or used to sit court side. You know,
we can't have you know what, all the seats are

(27:34):
taken up. Hey, we have some seats up in the
loge area. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, it's like we have tickets for you and then
when you get there you find out where they are.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
They're like, oh, you know, I don't know if we
have any court side left because that's where you now.
They have a special green room for the court side people.
You get to go back and have drinks and you know,
it's a it's a little fraternity back there if you go,
oh now I go back in the green excuse me?
Wait wait, wait, no, no, I'm always in here.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
M not tonight?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah yeah, Paul right.

Speaker 8 (28:09):
And you could get court side for the Hornets game,
but you can't get court side versus the Celtics. Like
it's like a sliding scale of a tougher opponent, harder
to get court side. We had David Spade the comedian
on a couple of years ago, and you asked him
about this, and he said, it's like a litmus test
of where your career is, because if you call and
you don't get a callback, you might be between series.

(28:31):
Then you get a new hit series and now they're
calling you to appear at Lakers games, or you breeze
right into front row seats.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, I remember when we were going to get tickets
to the knixt game, and then I wasn't going to go,
and then all of a sudden we suddenly didn't have
tickets to the Knicks game. PAULI has the email correspondence there.

Speaker 8 (28:50):
Very nice gentlemen said he had five seats for us too.
It was a regular season good next game. It was
during the Carmelo Anthony era, okay, and I said, oh great, great,
and he was going back and forth and the last
email was just want to assure you that Dan is
with you, guys, correct like he's doing his best. He'll
likely be there, and then they went radio silent, He's

(29:11):
gonna be there in spirit.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Which it wasn't like we asked for five court sides seats.
It was just like any five seats in the building.
Doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's not like I went from you were going to
be in the lows, then we were kicked up to
the upper reserves.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
There's no seats at all.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, that's odd.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Oh so Dan, well Dan needs to pick them up personally.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yes, I know, and then I go, Okay, I'll give
you guys my driver's license. You can pick up the
tickets there, Yes, Marvin.

Speaker 7 (29:39):
For court side seats, So save you're Tracy Morgan and
Timothy Shallomey who's on fire right now, says hey, can
I get a court side seat? Do you go to
Tracy Morgan or do you just go to one of
those other celebrities that have him like he's a staple
at the garden. Yes, Do you go to somebody else
and say no, not Tracy, not Spike, not Ben's, not

(30:00):
Chris Rock.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
You just got some of the sometimes guys.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Well, Timothy Chaloma is going to get tickets. He'll be
courtside last minute. Even Yes, he could walk in, you
know and just say hey, uh sorry, uh got a
seat for me? Yes, we do, Yes, we do. Uh
you get up, yes, Paul, that seems.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
Like a fascinating job. The person who is the last
line of defense for Nicks or Lakers tickets.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
It sounds like it would be an interesting job because
you get to talk to the person who talks to
the celebrity.

Speaker 8 (30:31):
You have a ton of power. Yeah, but the sliding
scale of uh, you know, it's an hour before game time.
All my I have to save two tickets in case
blank blank calls.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
I had asked Sandman. I said, hey, you know, I'd
love to go to a Laker game. And then he said, I, Danny,
you tell me. And then I said all right, you
pick one. And then Sandman out of nowhere goes, uh, Danny,
Tomorrow night Lakers, and I go, wait, you got to
give me more of a heads up here not in LA.
He goes, all right, I'll get somebody else as sam

(31:03):
Man was courtside, and I was like, all right, that
guy's in my seat there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I did love the idea that like, not in LA.
And it's like, so, yeah, get here, So just get here,
go to the game, go home.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah. Well, it's like getting invited to Tom Brady's roast.
And then I said, well, I'm not going to be
in LA. And then I realized I'm just going to
be in the audience there which is fine, don't I
didn't want to roast Tom Brady, but I was trying
to find out if they wanted me to roast, therefore
they would want me in New York and it was

(31:34):
this Sunday night. Then I would go, but I don't
want to be on the dais. I saw who's going
to be up there.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Now.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I got information two weeks ago with a person who's
involved in this, and she reached out and I've known
her a long time from the days of the Spies,
and she just said, Hey, Tom's getting roasted. It's going
to be live. Do you want to go? And I'm like, wow,
that'd be awesome, but I won't be in LA. She goes, Okay,

(32:02):
no worries, just wanted to reach out, thought of you.
And then I realized who's going. You're going to have
Gronk there, and Edelman's going to be there. Belichick, I believe,
is going to be there, so the right people are
going to be roasting him. And so I'll watch it
like I'm curious what Belichick says in a roast about
Tom Brady because is he going to have his own material?

(32:28):
Like I don't know. And then if somebody's going to
have a joke and Beuncheck's delivering it. It just seems
really odd. Edelman is going to crush Brady. I already
know that Edelman will. Of all of those guys, Edelman's
the one, he's the sniper.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
That's a fellow too, who knows where the bodies are buried,
so to speak.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yes, but he will be great. Gronk will be Gronk.
It's just I think Drew Bledsoe is going to be
there as well. So I think you know that kind
of the grouping there. Yeah, poem.

Speaker 8 (33:01):
What's awkward though at these roasts are maybe not awkward
but great is they make fun of each other too
as they Yes, they go up there, they roast the
roasters before they get to the main target. Yes, that's
where Belichexi might have a hard time.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
I just can't imagine Bill going. And I remember the
time that Tom deflated the football and the guy was
named the deflator.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I mean, did you see that picture at the combine too?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Look at that?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Who would draft that chubby loser?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Look at that? And you call that eye candy?

Speaker 5 (33:40):
Yes, well, they give him fake laps like the Patriots
media would out.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Of a of course, of course, yes, yes, marm Does
Nick Foles get an invite? Oh no, Eli Manning, he's
in I heard is if sources they have to have
Eli bring both those Super Bowl trophies out. Just put

(34:03):
them on the days su Yeah, have maybe a cape,
you know, and he walks out. He's got both those
Super Bowl trophies. Just put him right there on the day.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
Is t shirt that says two and oh on it
nothing else.

I haven't heard in thirty or forty years, and I
wanted to ask, and forgive me, I'm going to answer

one that you'd put in there. Yeah.
