DP show. The Great Charles Barkley coming up next hour.
We'll talk to the Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle in
about fifteen minutes from now, and the talented Rebecca Low
from NBC Sports will join us from Churchill Downs. Pacers
(00:54):
close out the Bucks four games to two. The Knicks
close out the seventy six ers. I know, so it
says four games to two. It felt like it was
more of a slugfest than oh, we won four games
to two, because if you take the combined total of points,
two points separated these two teams, So now the Knicks
will face the Pacers coming up on Monday. Calves Magic
(01:18):
Game six tonight for entertainment purposes only. According to DraftKings,
the Cabs are getting four against the Magic, the Clippers
getting eight against the MAVs, So uh, Luca, the over
under is thirty three and a half for him tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
It is Churchill Down's Kentucky Derby weekend and we'll explore
that a little bit later on as well. We got
to play the day stat of the day poll question.
All of that coming up. Stat of the Day is

with McGuire's reflect your passion. All right, Seaton poll question,
what are we starting off with? First down?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
We can start with has Patrick beverly played his last.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Game in the NBA? Okay, Yes, or no.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Late in the game Milwaukee Bucks, Patrick Beverley, he was
on the bench and he threw a basketball to a fan,
hit her in the side of the face, and then
he wanted the ball back. They threw the ball back
to him, and then he threw the ball again. So
he was interviewed after the game by an ESPN reporter producer,
(02:43):
and Patrick Beverly wasn't very forthcoming.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Subscribe to my part.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
So you can't interview me down, okay?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
So again, there were a couple times within a bucket
or two previous games they all been able.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
To kind of get over that humber.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Maybe was it anything dated in particular, or was it
just one of those where the bucket didn't go down?
There wasn't the stop they made one? What kind of
prevented that you off from me able to get over
like you haven't.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
The mood that might please or just get out the
circle please for me, please, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
If you're not subscribed to my pot, I appreciate it that,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't care about anything basketball wise. I want to
know why you threw the basketball at this fan.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Twice.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You're thirty five, okay, I don't subscribe to your podcast,
so he probably won't come on this show. We invited him.
At what point do you go, you know what, this
might be a good idea. I'm going to shut this
fan up by throwing the basketball at her man.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I'm gonna do it again. Okay, At what.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Point does the commissioner, Well, I mean, he's going to
find him suspended, but he's a free agent.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
If you're Milwaukee, is that what you want? He used
to be a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
He was a defensive guy, although I think a lot
of times when you're the defensive guy, that gets overstated.
He's had a good career, nice career, but most of
his career has been highlighted by or lowlighted by things
he says or things he does. And last night, you
don't want that product in your league. If you're the commissioner,
(04:27):
you know, maybe you suspend him indefinitely, but you know,
somebody will probably pick him up and well, hopefully they
subscribe to his podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
There.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
But yeah, watching that last night, and I didn't watch
it in real time, but I did see it after
the fact. And then he doesn't want to talk and
he's pushing the microphone out of the way a couple
of times, and you can't do that either. So do
I think he's played his last game? I'll say no,
(05:00):
because it feels like there's always a team that goes,
you know, we could use somebody like that, like the
seventy six ers. To me, could use Draymond Green. Now
we watched Draymond Green do stupid things. But then there's
always a team or teams out there that go, you
know what, we need that kind of thing. We need
that kind of guy. We need that spark, we need
an edge, you know, Rajah Belle, Bruce Bowen, you know,
(05:25):
you need those guys. So maybe somebody picks him up
at age thirty five. But yeah, you're watching that hits
the woman side of the face. Now, maybe things were said.
I don't know what was said, in fairness to Patrick Beverly,
at least going, you know, nuclear on her. Now, those
are words that you know could have been said. And
(05:48):
Patrick Beverly, who has a podcast, must be a wordsmith.
So he should have been able to respond back to
these people without throwing the basketball twice.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I mean even know he was playing.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Either, you see a stat line you didn't miss much.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, So Patrick Beverley and the Bucks have been eliminated.
Here's Doc Rivers talking about playing without his best players
last game.
Speaker 9 (06:16):
We're the first team in NBA history to win a
game with your two best scores out. I mean that's history.
That's not like one game one year. It's hard to do,
man like take Yoki Cha Murray away, you know, go
to each team and take your two best players away.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Hard, Yes, it is. What a weird year in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You get your coach, he finally gets a chance, You
fire your coach. You bring in Doc Rivers and it
felt like he was held at gunpoint to take the job.
And then you lose. Jannis Dame came back, but you know,
in limited fashion last night, and you get eliminated. You
get eliminated by a pacer team that just loves to run.
They go And sometimes you look at teams now, I
(06:59):
don't think the talent on Indiana's great. You know, Tyrese
Haliburton is a wonderful player. But sometimes it's the collection
of talent that makes you a great team.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Like the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't think the Knicks are you know, a talented team,
but I think they're a great team because you put
all the pieces together. And speaking of the Knicks last night,
you know what, that's what you want out of a
great player. Jalen Brunson is. He's one of those guys
that you're going, well, let me see if he can
do it again, and then he does it again. Well,
(07:31):
let me see if he can do it in the playoffs,
and then he does it in the playoffs. And they
did a really good job for a couple of games
on him, and he sort of picks his spots. There's
spots on the floor and he probably learned a lot
from playing with Luca in Dallas. He just kind of
gets in these pockets and he knows what to do
(07:51):
and he goes at his own pace.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Boy, he's lethal, and it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Still feels like yeah, but he's like the second player
you won on your roster like he was in Dallas.
Now he's a number one. He's a true number one,
whether you like it or not, whether you're willing to
admit to it, because you watch and you go, how
does he do that? He just knows how to play basketball,
and his supporting cast they all fit together. But it's
(08:20):
not a great group of talent. You don't even have
Julius Randall in there. But they go in and they
beat Philadelphia and that was a wonderful That's one of
those where you go that should have been the Eastern
Conference Finals, just with everything attached to it, endings, missed calls,
guys stepping up, big Nicks did a great job on
Tyrese Maxi and Jalen Brunson and company lead the charge.
(08:44):
And now they got the Pacers coming up on Monday.
So Cabs at the Magic tonight, Clippers at the Mavericks.
That is game six as well. What else do we have, Seaton.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Well, we were talking a little bit about the Knicks too, okay,
trying to figure out the Knicks. The Knicks have a
good player or great team chemistry both.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I mean, do they have a great player in
Jalen Brunson, Yes, they have great chemistry because they don't
even have a number two guy. I mean, Josh Hart's
a nice player, he's not a number two guy. I
mean he's not. If we're going, okay, do they have
a Jamal Murray? And the answer is no, Like it
(09:28):
feels like each night somebody sort of fills that role.
But you can't go into you know, game one against
the Pacers, going, you know what, Dante di van Jenzo
is gonna come up big. You don't know that, And
I think that's Josh Hart. You don't know that. But
they do fill in the box score. They do a
lot of different things there. So I would say it's
(09:49):
really the sum of the parts that makes them a
great team. But Brunson's a great player.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He is.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
He just doesn't feel, sound or look like he's a
star player. And even in Dallas, you know, I kept thinking,
why why are you going to let him go?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They get Kyrie? But still if you said to Dallas
you could still have Kyrie or Jalen Brunson, I would
want to have Jalen Brunson. Kyrie's been wonderful this year.
Jalen Brunson, you know now, granted he wouldn't be scoring
like this in Dallas because Jalen, you know, is a
ball dominant star in New York, just like Luca is
(10:29):
in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yes, Seed, It's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's one of those situations where you know how we
do the like if you took this guy off that
team and put them on there, would they still be
as good? I think if you switched Kyrie and Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
With the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, if the Knicks, I don't think they are where
they are are right now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You don't know, no, I mean Bronson Brunson's played at
a really high level.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Kyrie is still great, but sharing it with Luca, Yeah, yeah,
which is.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, it's not no, it's not yeah. I mean maybe
similar results, similar stats.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I mean, I want to be fair to Kyrie because he,
of course is the most talented player to ever play
the game. But Brunson, he just knows how to play me,
not afraid of a big moment either, So he's up
there on that level.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Yes, yes, Mar And there's definitely true team chemistry because Brunson,
the Vincenzo, and Josh Hart all play college basketball together too,
So you can't really just, you know, dispute that.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Also, the fans, they tried their best to take over Philadelphia,
even though the owner of the Sixers helping out the
first responders getting them tickets. And when Embiid first came
out on the floor, I thought, it's a good thing
the first responders are in the building, because he looked
like he needed help, but he had the brace on
and give him credit, you know, and then they've got
(11:55):
sixty million dollars in cap space and they have five
first round picks that are available. So the seventy six
ers are in pretty good shape. Now, the question is
who's that person you bring in. Tyrese Maxie's a free agent,
You're gonna pay him. I think there's some guys you're
gonna let go here. Maybe Kyle Lowry comes back as
(12:17):
your backup point guard, maybe Tobias Harris, Siya. There'll be
a couple of players that probably won't be back. Uh
Oubray is gonna want to get paid. But if you
could bring in another player, and that's why there's there's
been talk of can you bring in Paul George? Okay,
(12:38):
I don't want to stunt the growth of Tyrese Maxi
because I want Maxi to take that next step and
be Brunson.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I want him to be the leader.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You know, when Bide is a spectacularly talented player, he's
going to the Hall of Fame. But I do think
we you almost have to see that torch passed and
let Maxie be the guy who's going to be running
that team. And maybe that helped Embiid, So it's not
always Hey, you got to put up thirty a night.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Yes, Mark, do you think decisions can be like a
nugget situation where they have a joker in a murray
where you know, Embiid you know, I'm not feeling great.
Everybody moved to the side and have Max you just
do his thing like we just saw in the first round.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, they don't have that depth.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You know, they're they're you know, Denver's got maybe the
best starting five. Although if you listen to the Phoenix
Suns owner Matt ishbia He, he says, everything's good here.
We'll talk about that coming up a little bit. You know,
you get these these owners, and you know, when you
become an owner, then all of a sudden people care
what you have to say. You can be a billionaire
(13:40):
and people in your office may care. Now he's speaking
for Arizona, say eh, everything's good. Hey, twenty seven owners
would trade their rosters. There's some crazy thing that he
said for our roster, like, okay, So the Phoenix Suns
owner says, everything's okay, Okay, Yes, Mark, Deep.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Don't be crazy to say twenty seven. He said twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Oh, he did twenty nine owners would trade their roster
for the Phoenix Suns. Well, you just got swept. Minnesota
is not going to change. They're not going to trade
their roster. Denver's not going to trade their roster. Would
the Knicks trade their roster?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I mean, that's just rattling off a couple of rosters
that you have. Are the Celtics going to trade their roster?
I mean it's silly to say that, but when you're
a billionaire, you're so used to people going, yes, oh
that's a great idea. Oh yeah, you're so funny. Okay,
But the reality is sports has a way of humbling
(14:42):
these guys like David Tepper in Carolina. Everybody's a billionaire
who owns a team of the NFL. They don't care,
and you can't outsmart your way, you know, just because
they're bully your way.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Like I'm a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Okay, great, you got a crappy did you make a
mistake quarterback? Now there's a lot of things. Mightn't you
stop throwing drinks on fans when you become an owner?
You know, that's why when these guys lose their team,
sell their team nobody cares after that.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And you have these.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Owners who we do listen to when they get in
front of the media, they're like, okay, all right, here's
the owner of the Phoenix Suns. All right, good job, Matt,
you became a billionaire. Now, good luck in holding on
to that roster, putting it together, trying to compliment that roster,
because I do think there are a couple of owners
who wouldn't trade their roster for your roster. All right, Well,
(15:40):
take a break. Rick Carlisle, fresh off the win last
night against Milwaukee, he'll join us. Coming up, settle on
a poll question, play of the day, stat of the day,
all of that coming up. It's some meat Friday. We're

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Fox Sports MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
And I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to be around
to talk a little bit about managerial decisions and what
may have accredited to the dugout maybe in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's the Book of Joe podcasts. I can't wait for this, Joe.
Speaker 11 (16:31):
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in Major.
Speaker 10 (16:35):

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, well, there are no boundaries, right.
Speaker 2 (16:39):

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And we will get to your phone calls. Coming up.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Charles Barkley will join us in an hour from now.
Cabs Magic Game six tonight, Clippers at the Mavericks Game
six as well. Milwaukee Bucks sent packing by the Prick.
Carlinle third season as the Pacers head coach, joining us
on the program. Go back a week when you heard
that Giannis was not going to be able to play,
(17:10):
might be limited. What adjustments did you make?
Speaker 11 (17:16):
Well, you know, a couple of the adjustments had to
be with any notion that it was then going to
be an easy task to try to beat these guys
because they have veteran experience, they're a proud team, They've
got a lot of physical toughness, and so, you know,
it was just it was uncertain, you know, I think
(17:38):
Giannas's injury it happened about eight to ten days before
serious was going to start. Seemed pretty clear that he
probably wouldn't play the first game, maybe the first two games,
but there was a lot of just stuff lying around.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
It was we just didn't know.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
And then so that was something and they were you know,
you know, the not not unpredictably, there was I think
their team fed the little miss in the the information,
you know, pathways a little bit. There was a lot
of rumors about this, rumors about that, so you know,
(18:18):
it became in a way, a different kind of challenge.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
What's the differences between playoff coaching and regular season coaching?
Speaker 11 (18:28):
Well, Dan, the playoffs are insanity. I mean it's you know,
I and I. You know, Steve Nash once said this,
it's the playoffs are so intense and so emotional that
when you win a game in the playoffs, it's you
get so exuberant, you feel like you're never going to
lose again, and when you lose a game in the playoffs,
(18:50):
you feel like you're never gonna win again.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I mean, it's that it's that extreme. And so.
Speaker 11 (18:57):
You know, you can have some big games in the
in the regular season. This year, you know, the n
Season Tournament added to the intensity level a pretty significant amount,
you know, back in November December.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
But there's nothing like the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
When you guys get done with your win, you close
out the bucks, how quickly do you turn on the
next game?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Well, I.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Drove home, which is about twenty five minute drive, and
then turned it on and watched you know, whatever was
left of the third quarter and the fourth and I
mean you talk about ups and downs, I mean the
stuff that was going on in that series was it
was crazy. I mean, you know, Phillies down eight with
like two minutes to go when they tie it, you
(19:43):
know last night.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
And then in game five, I mean.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
We go out, we go out for our Game five,
which was after the next Game five. You know, I
left the locker room in Milwaukee to go out for
our game, and you know, New York was upset with
like forty five seconds left, and he just said, okay,
well the nixt.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
One and then you find out after the game. They
lost it over time, like what.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
But that's that's how that's how crazy things can be
in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Who does Jalen Brunson remind you of.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Well, that's a great question.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
He's a he's he's forged out a you know, a
niche in in in the NBA and really in league
history and nick history, which is you know, very very
very unique. You know, there's there's a little bit of
Steve Nash. I suppose, there's some James Harden, There's some.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You know, I you know, I could go on and on.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
I mean, there's some Dame Lillard, there's some, there's a lot,
there's a lot of different elements. But he's he's doing
something that is very uniquely him. And and you know,
I know Jalen well because we had him for his
first couple of years when I was when I was
in Dallas. He's just he's a he's a guy that
is as extremely strong belief in himself and you know,
(21:15):
New York has turned him loose, you know, to really
go and just take it, talk to whatever extreme he
can take it. And so it's been amazing to watch.
I'm very very happy for him, very proud of him
and very much not looking forward playing coaching against him.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
We're talking to Rick Carlisle, the Pacers head coach, and
then you have Tyre's Halliburton. Do you allow him the
same kind of freedom that the Knicks do with Brunson?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, I think it's pretty evident that we do.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
I mean, you know, Tyree's runs the team, he calls
the plays, he has the latitude to be as aggressive
as he teams necessary offensively, And I just I'm just
a believer that if you have if you have special
(22:10):
players like a Tyresee or a Brunson, you know, or
a Donchis, which I who I coached for three years,
you know, you you've got a rare opportunity to allow
these guys, you know, to have the keys.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
And when you do that and empower them, you know,
great things, great things can happen.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
What was your reaction or opinion first time you saw Luca.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
In person the first time I saw him in person,
was you know he he he didn't play in the
Summer League.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
We we we felt that, you know, since he he
would get gone through to two euro the euro League
and one of the other leagues. They have like different trophies.
It's somewhat it's somewhat simp of soccer over there. But
his season is is the last part of his season
ended like a couple of days before the draft, and
(23:08):
so we just felt that, you know, having him jump
into Summer League from the draft would have would have
been a mistake from a physical fatigue standpoint, so we
held him out. He said on the bench during the
summer League he wanted, he wanted to play, and you know,
we just we just said, no, this is not the
right thing.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And so the first time I saw him play in
person was.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
In a pickup game that fall in twenty eighteen, and
he he came in and you know, we had signed
DeAndre Jordan, we had you know, Wes Matthews, we had
who else, Harrison Barnes was on the team. We had
(23:53):
the makings of a of a of a of a
pretty good team. And he came in and he was
He played the pickup game like Magic Johnson. He passed
the ever loving crap out of it. He was he
was getting every rebound, he scored some, but he was
just absolutely controlling the game with vision, passing, you know,
(24:18):
a few shots here and there, and you know, I
watched this and I said, Jesus, guy's this guy's actually
a point guard. We weren't sure he played point in
the in his team at Real Madrid, but you're just
never sure how it's all going to translate to the NBA.
But you know, on day one, it was clear that
(24:39):
that he was that he was a point guard.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
And so you know, then.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
From there, figuring out how how to kind of take
that in the direction that needed to go was was
a little challenging because we had Dennis Smith Junior, who
was a young player, very talented too, so, but that
was what day one looked like. And then once we
got into this season, you know, you know, Luca found
(25:04):
out that, you know, he.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Could really score.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
I mean, it's scoring became very easy to him in
the NBA. And you'd have to ask him this, but
I think I think he probably would say that, you know,
he just he wasn't. He didn't realize coming in that
he would would have been able to impact the game
scoring wise the way he did, and so he was.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
He was a super dynamic from from day one.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
And obviously you know he's with a finalist for for
m v P now and if it doesn't happen this year,
It'll it's going to happen soon.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Who's the best shooter in the building? Which building like
your your practice? How about the city of Indianapolis. Who's
the best shooter in town?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Boy, it'd be hard, it'd be hard not to say
that it's Tyree Celiburton right now. Now, if you know,
if Fridgie Miller was.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
In town, what about Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
It might be a different conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What's that Caitlin Clark? Is she a factor in?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Oh? She fract chief factors in. This is a trick question.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
I knew, I knew you'd hit me with one of these,
but I I I've gotta I've gotta lean toward my
team just because you know, these these are these are
my guys. But uh, you know, Caitlin being on the
scene is is really cool too. And the city I
think part of part of the buzz around our city
(26:35):
and our team, you know, comes a little bit with
the buzz of her arriving in town as well.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Is Bird still in town? Do you see him often?
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Uh? From time to time? Yeah, he I don't know
if he's back in Indiana yet. He's eating Florida in
the winter, and then he'll be back at his ranch
and uh In uh In in southern Indiana sometime soon.
But if you're asking if he's in the conversation for
best shooter.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I think I think that's an obvious Yes, I'm sure
that he would still think he's the best shooter.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
And I know and I know, I know you're gonna
probably ask me about the left handed scoring thing.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
But you asked me about that one other time.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So if that was against Portland, right, yeah, that was
against Portland.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
It was it was it was about left handed jump shooting.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
You know, if you're righty, and he'd be you know,
he would, he'd win that contest.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Okay, imagine if Luca said I'm going to take just
left handed shots in a game. How would you have
reacted to that if you were his coach, Well.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
Knowing what I know about Luca, I would have let
him do whatever he felt the right, you know, the right.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Thing at the time.
Speaker 11 (27:46):
Like I can't tell you the amount of money I
lost to Luca betting against him making half court shots
in practice. I mean, you know, like coach, you know,
you know, you know, I'm not gonna give you I'm
not gonna give you the amount of money one out
of one, out of three, one out of three. I
was like, yeah, no way. And then he makes this
(28:08):
first or second one like every time. I mean, it was,
it was. It was absolutely uncanny, and you know he
just looka was one of the was one of those
guys that all all he can ever see is how
something is going to happen, like and like doubt never
never seemed to enter his mind at all, and therefore,
(28:31):
you know, he never thinks about missing. And so you
know a lot of these guys are very unwilling to
take you know, these end of quarter you know, full
court heaves, and you know it's interesting, Dan, Like I
was on some committees, you know, over the years where
you know, we talked about this, and you know, some
(28:53):
people said, well, why don't we just come up with
a rule where if a guy takes a shot at
the end of the court or beyond half court.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
And it misses, it doesn't count as a field goal attempt.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
You know, then then you won't have all this you know,
holding on the ball till the red light goes on
and then flinging it knowing it didn't count, and then
and then we talked about it, and then you know,
one of the things I said was, if we do that,
you're gonna have guys getting the ball with seven seconds
left in the back court, keeping it in the back court,
keeping it behind the line, behind the half court line,
(29:27):
so that on the on the on the chance that
it doesn't go in, they don't get a they don't
get a field.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Goal at ten.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So that's all stat related that these guys don't want
to take these shuts.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah, and you're really seriously asking that question.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Well, I'm surprised that. I mean, these guys just shoot,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No.
Speaker 11 (29:47):
But but in the case of in the case of Luca,
in the case of tyres I had Darryl Armstrong for
one year as a player, and Darryl, Darryl took it
as a personal challenge, and he made two or three
of them from like sixty feet.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
And I'm saying, like, if you, if you took, if
you eliminated all.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
The you know, full and three quarter court heaves that
Luca takes and Tyreese takes, these guys would be shooting
him like they're already shooting a great percentage from three.
I mean it would be like exponentially higher. So there's
a different wiring for for some of these guys. And
Bert was the same way. Bert would shoot it every time.
(30:28):
But you know, you see a lot of guys at
the end of at the end of the courts, they
hang on to it and then you know they hear
the buzzer, red leg goes on, and then they liked that.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Then they fling it up there.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
When did carrying get out of control? Carrying carrying the ball?
I mean, we're already past traveling, but like I go
back to Stockton and Iverson, it felt like they were
the first guys and now everybody carries the basketball.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Is that I love I love this show.
Speaker 11 (31:04):
And you were my mentor at ESPN, which is one
of the reasons I've had such a great broadcasting career. Probably,
but I'm not into a fifty or sixty thousand dollars
fine talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Oh oh okay.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I know this is a very highly rated show.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
But it's the concept. It's not the reps.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
It's that we've we've allowed it in college and high school.
How about you can be the anti carrying Sherman say.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
As if you're one of the ones that's this responsible.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
It bothers me, It bothers me.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
I don't see it as as as that big of
that bigger problem. You mean, we had to carry call
on tyres and game five or something like this, and
so it.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Still gets called. I think.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
I think the bigger thing is that players have adjusted
to it, and I don't think players carry the ball
as much as they did and perhaps in the old days,
you know, traveling is another is another big challenge, but
the league has made a point of it.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I think they've done a better job with it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You're not gonna get fined, I won't now, But there
was a chance you were headed down that path. Did
I ever tell you when I got Steve Kerr fined.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Accidentally?
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Did you ever tell me? I probably saw it on
you know, your Instagram stuff comes up all the time,
so you know I may have seen it.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
He I think I cost him twenty five grand. He
was the GM of the Suns and I I was
asking him about maybe, hey, you got the mid level
exemption for Lebron and he talked about that, and he
wasn't allowed to talk about like he was joking and
the commissioner find him twenty five grand.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
So yeah, I mean, you know, after the after the
Indiana Fever got the first pick, you know, I got
a couple of quests and hey, what do you think
about Caitlin Clark?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
You know?
Speaker 11 (33:02):
And then I said, well, I gotta be careful about
what I say because I don't want to violate any
rules here. But you know, I can't get enough of
these step back forty footers. I mean, this is this
is the best watching her play, you know. So we're
obviously looking forward to they play pretty soon. Yeah, they
jump right into this thing. But anyway, yeah, I know, I.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Look, I there are certain things you gotta be careful.
I know I'm bugging about.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
All right, we'll rest that voice for Monday against the Knicks.
You're gonna need it in the garden.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Appreciate that. Good to see us always.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Thank you. Rick.
Speaker 2 (33:43):

Has Patrick Beverley played his last game in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yes? Or no?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Right now most people saying no, no, they think he's
still got some value left.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Okay, I don't know. Should he have played his last
game in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
He's already on like a what was it a one year,
three million dollar deal or something like that, which is
great money, but in NBA terms, not necessarily. Once you
start throwing the ball twice at the fans, yeah, and
even in that moment, not being like, oh damn, I
just really screwed up. Let me go, be really difficult
(35:53):
to the media afterwards.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'd like to know what set him off right so
much that you throw the basketball twice, but even still.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Throwing the basketball at people, whatever was said is not
going to reflect well.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
We'll talk to Charles Barkley. He'll join us coming up
in a half hour from now. Let me go back
to something Rick Carlisle talked about. It's the Larry Bird
Portland Trailblazers game, and Larry said before the game he
was going to shoot left handed, and he did. I
don't know how he scored you know, twenty some points
left handed against the Blazers, and we just showed a
(36:32):
clip of these shots, and I was wondering, let's say
the joker announced that he was going to do this.
I mean, you got to have somebody who's established, because
let's say Luca said, oh, you know, it's so easy
to score I'm shooting left handed tonight against the Clippers.
We probably have a problem with that. But here's Bird
(36:55):
who had had you know, three MVPs and one titles,
and you know, he had established himself. And he was like,
and I don't know if he I don't know who
talked to him and said, you know, why left handed,
unless he probably would have been honest and just said,
look on board, you know, maybe a challenge, yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
His next opponent after the Trailblazers was the Lakers, and
the media thought he was joking around. He said, he
announced he was going to do it. Then he said
he's saving his right hand for the Lakers, and everyone left.
Two days later he played against the Lakers and he
played right handed.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:30):
I think you're right, though, I think it would be
a mixed bag of reaction even to a guy like that.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Even if Lebron said this more so April would, they
would pile on Lebron, like, oh god.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
But Jokic just mastered the game. His team is doing great.
They'll say it was a November thirteenth game against Charlotte.
I think it'd be very mostly positive because he can
get away with it. He's likable, he's awesome. But some
people are like, oh, you're making a mockery of it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, yeah, but he did. He took all of his
shots left handed in Portland, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
I wouldn't like it to find it disrespectful to the
other team. Imagine if Steph Curry after every shot did
the shimmy or something like that, or someone flipped their
bat every time they got a hit, whether it's a
home run or just a single.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
But he's not being flamboyant when he's doing this. He's
just doing something different. And most of the shots that
he's taking required shooting left handed.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
Well, no one wants someone to come across thinking like
this sport or this thing I do for a living
is so easy. I gotta try, you know, something else.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
So they had to do it a different way.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I don't know we're still talking about it. Yeah, Paul,
I love legendary moments.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
Sometimes they're off putting in the moment, but like if
Babe Ruth really called his shot, I don't know if
he did. But when bo Jackson ran up that wall,
he didn't have to run up the wall after the
catch the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yes, when he ran for that touchdown. You put a.
Speaker 8 (38:51):
Little extra sauce once in a while because you can. Yeah,
that's how legends are made.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah huh, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
That's why you ask every guest about their favorite mat
Michael Jordan and Larry Bird story, because those two guys
always had a story about trash talking and then backing
it up afterwards.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Everybody had a story about Bird, and everybody has his
story the first time they played against Jordan, they do
because Bird was going to talk trash to you.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Bird used to do.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
He'd go tweet tweet, take a seat when he'd hit
a shot on somebody who was young.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Tweet tweet, take a tweet tweet, take a seat. Yeah,
fall We've had.
Speaker 8 (39:31):
Like six different players tell us they heard Bird say,
I can't believe you've got.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
To get white white guy on to him. I just
remember when Dan Marley was guarding him, and he looked
at Mark West, I think, and he didn't even talk
to Marley. He looked at him and said, I can't
believe you got a white guy guarding me, and Marley
didn't even know what was going on, such disrespect. Yes,
he wouldn't talk to Marley. Poor Marley's out there running
(39:57):
around chasing him.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
And then I can't believe you put a what guy
whom he should have had a late roll back?
Speaker 7 (40:02):
Then, yes, Marmon, Or when Tom Tolbert said I've gone
Larry Burton, I say shot and Larry bursay, Yes, it.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Is Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning Buddha, No Noboddy.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
Thanks for calling DP, what's up, Fritzy, what's up? Patrick?
Speaker 11 (40:23):
Beverly?
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Dan, Mental Midget?
Speaker 12 (40:26):
And may all playoff series be as entertaining as the
next sixer series?
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Damn, I mean next don't.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
Even have Julius Randalls.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yep.
Speaker 12 (40:34):
But damn this might sound radical, but why do I
feel like some NBA team is gonna draft Bronnie and
then they're gonna hold him hostage for a trade package
with the Lakers, and then Lebron's gonna have to go
Liam Neeson and get his kid back.
Speaker 8 (40:50):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
I hope Bronnie goes and plays another year of college basketball.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I think he needs it.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
He might get drafted, maybe he's in a developmental league,
the G League, but he's just not ready to play.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I mean he might be.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Seems like he's a great kid, good defender, knows how
to play, but he just he's not ready to play
in the NBA. Now, there's a lot of players who
aren't ready to play. But you're Lebron James's son. So
you walk in and people are going to go, wait,
which one's Lebron? Soon that one really? Charles Barkley will
(41:29):
join us coming up. Get some more phone calls as well.
When can we get to the point where we can
compare ant Man to Michael Jordan? Are we there yet?
Charles will join us coming up in twenty minutes from now.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. We did it.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We made it to a meet Friday early Cinco de Mayo.
Menu case you're wondering, and I know you are. What's
on the Traegers today? Loaded barbecue, chicken, nachos, skirt steak,
street tacos and to Quito's. Is that the correct pronunciation?
Who took Spanish in high school?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Pauli? Taqito's, Yes, Taqito's. So we have that. Who has
it better than we do?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
No, lot?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Alrighty Phone calls always welcome, eight seven to seven to three.
DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at
DP show. The Great Charles Barkley coming up next hour.
We'll talk to the Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle in
about fifteen minutes from now, and the talented Rebecca Low
from NBC Sports will join us from Churchill Downs. Pacers
(00:54):
close out the Bucks four games to two. The Knicks
close out the seventy six ers. I know, so it
says four games to two. It felt like it was
more of a slugfest than oh, we won four games
to two, because if you take the combined total of points,
two points separated these two teams, So now the Knicks
will face the Pacers coming up on Monday. Calves Magic
(01:18):
Game six tonight for entertainment purposes only. According to DraftKings,
the Cabs are getting four against the Magic, the Clippers
getting eight against the MAVs, So uh, Luca, the over
under is thirty three and a half for him tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
All right, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
It is Churchill Down's Kentucky Derby weekend and we'll explore
that a little bit later on as well. We got
to play the day stat of the day poll question.
All of that coming up. Stat of the Day is
always brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading
cards of the Dan Patrick Show. This first down, we're
brought to you by McGuire's new hybrid ceramic wash in wax.
(02:00):
You can boost protection with the extreme water beating technology
the next time you wash your car, truck, wonderful products
with McGuire's reflect your passion. All right, Seaton poll question,
what are we starting off with? First down?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
We can start with has Patrick beverly played his last.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Game in the NBA? Okay, Yes, or no.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Late in the game Milwaukee Bucks, Patrick Beverley, he was
on the bench and he threw a basketball to a fan,
hit her in the side of the face, and then
he wanted the ball back. They threw the ball back
to him, and then he threw the ball again. So
he was interviewed after the game by an ESPN reporter producer,
(02:43):
and Patrick Beverly wasn't very forthcoming.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Subscribe to my part.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
So you can't interview me down, okay?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
So again, there were a couple times within a bucket
or two previous games they all been able.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
To kind of get over that humber.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Maybe was it anything dated in particular, or was it
just one of those where the bucket didn't go down?
There wasn't the stop they made one? What kind of
prevented that you off from me able to get over
like you haven't.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
The mood that might please or just get out the
circle please for me, please, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
If you're not subscribed to my pot, I appreciate it that,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't care about anything basketball wise. I want to
know why you threw the basketball at this fan.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Twice.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You're thirty five, okay, I don't subscribe to your podcast,
so he probably won't come on this show. We invited him.
At what point do you go, you know what, this
might be a good idea. I'm going to shut this
fan up by throwing the basketball at her man.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I'm gonna do it again. Okay, At what.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Point does the commissioner, Well, I mean, he's going to
find him suspended, but he's a free agent.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
If you're Milwaukee, is that what you want? He used
to be a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
He was a defensive guy, although I think a lot
of times when you're the defensive guy, that gets overstated.
He's had a good career, nice career, but most of
his career has been highlighted by or lowlighted by things
he says or things he does. And last night, you
don't want that product in your league. If you're the commissioner,
(04:27):
you know, maybe you suspend him indefinitely, but you know,
somebody will probably pick him up and well, hopefully they
subscribe to his podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
There.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
But yeah, watching that last night, and I didn't watch
it in real time, but I did see it after
the fact. And then he doesn't want to talk and
he's pushing the microphone out of the way a couple
of times, and you can't do that either. So do
I think he's played his last game? I'll say no,
(05:00):
because it feels like there's always a team that goes,
you know, we could use somebody like that, like the
seventy six ers. To me, could use Draymond Green. Now
we watched Draymond Green do stupid things. But then there's
always a team or teams out there that go, you
know what, we need that kind of thing. We need
that kind of guy. We need that spark, we need
an edge, you know, Rajah Belle, Bruce Bowen, you know,
(05:25):
you need those guys. So maybe somebody picks him up
at age thirty five. But yeah, you're watching that hits
the woman side of the face. Now, maybe things were said.
I don't know what was said, in fairness to Patrick Beverly,
at least going, you know, nuclear on her. Now, those
are words that you know could have been said. And
(05:48):
Patrick Beverly, who has a podcast, must be a wordsmith.
So he should have been able to respond back to
these people without throwing the basketball twice.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I mean even know he was playing.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Either, you see a stat line you didn't miss much.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, So Patrick Beverley and the Bucks have been eliminated.
Here's Doc Rivers talking about playing without his best players
last game.
Speaker 9 (06:16):
We're the first team in NBA history to win a
game with your two best scores out. I mean that's history.
That's not like one game one year. It's hard to do,
man like take Yoki Cha Murray away, you know, go
to each team and take your two best players away.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Hard, Yes, it is. What a weird year in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You get your coach, he finally gets a chance, You
fire your coach. You bring in Doc Rivers and it
felt like he was held at gunpoint to take the job.
And then you lose. Jannis Dame came back, but you know,
in limited fashion last night, and you get eliminated. You
get eliminated by a pacer team that just loves to run.
They go And sometimes you look at teams now, I
(06:59):
don't think the talent on Indiana's great. You know, Tyrese
Haliburton is a wonderful player. But sometimes it's the collection
of talent that makes you a great team.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Like the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't think the Knicks are you know, a talented team,
but I think they're a great team because you put
all the pieces together. And speaking of the Knicks last night,
you know what, that's what you want out of a
great player. Jalen Brunson is. He's one of those guys
that you're going, well, let me see if he can
do it again, and then he does it again. Well,
(07:31):
let me see if he can do it in the playoffs,
and then he does it in the playoffs. And they
did a really good job for a couple of games
on him, and he sort of picks his spots. There's
spots on the floor and he probably learned a lot
from playing with Luca in Dallas. He just kind of
gets in these pockets and he knows what to do
(07:51):
and he goes at his own pace.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Boy, he's lethal, and it.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Still feels like yeah, but he's like the second player
you won on your roster like he was in Dallas.
Now he's a number one. He's a true number one,
whether you like it or not, whether you're willing to
admit to it, because you watch and you go, how
does he do that? He just knows how to play basketball,
and his supporting cast they all fit together. But it's
(08:20):
not a great group of talent. You don't even have
Julius Randall in there. But they go in and they
beat Philadelphia and that was a wonderful That's one of
those where you go that should have been the Eastern
Conference Finals, just with everything attached to it, endings, missed calls,
guys stepping up, big Nicks did a great job on
Tyrese Maxi and Jalen Brunson and company lead the charge.
(08:44):
And now they got the Pacers coming up on Monday.
So Cabs at the Magic tonight, Clippers at the Mavericks.
That is game six as well. What else do we have, Seaton.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Well, we were talking a little bit about the Knicks too, okay,
trying to figure out the Knicks. The Knicks have a
good player or great team chemistry both.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I mean, do they have a great player in
Jalen Brunson, Yes, they have great chemistry because they don't
even have a number two guy. I mean, Josh Hart's
a nice player, he's not a number two guy. I
mean he's not. If we're going, okay, do they have
a Jamal Murray? And the answer is no, Like it
(09:28):
feels like each night somebody sort of fills that role.
But you can't go into you know, game one against
the Pacers, going, you know what, Dante di van Jenzo
is gonna come up big. You don't know that, And
I think that's Josh Hart. You don't know that. But
they do fill in the box score. They do a
lot of different things there. So I would say it's
(09:49):
really the sum of the parts that makes them a
great team. But Brunson's a great player.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He is.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
He just doesn't feel, sound or look like he's a
star player. And even in Dallas, you know, I kept thinking,
why why are you going to let him go?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Now?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They get Kyrie? But still if you said to Dallas
you could still have Kyrie or Jalen Brunson, I would
want to have Jalen Brunson. Kyrie's been wonderful this year.
Jalen Brunson, you know now, granted he wouldn't be scoring
like this in Dallas because Jalen, you know, is a
ball dominant star in New York, just like Luca is
(10:29):
in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yes, Seed, It's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's one of those situations where you know how we
do the like if you took this guy off that
team and put them on there, would they still be
as good? I think if you switched Kyrie and Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
With the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, if the Knicks, I don't think they are where
they are are right now.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You don't know, no, I mean Bronson Brunson's played at
a really high level.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Kyrie is still great, but sharing it with Luca, Yeah, yeah,
which is.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, it's not no, it's not yeah. I mean maybe
similar results, similar stats.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I mean, I want to be fair to Kyrie because he,
of course is the most talented player to ever play
the game. But Brunson, he just knows how to play me,
not afraid of a big moment either, So he's up
there on that level.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Yes, yes, Mar And there's definitely true team chemistry because Brunson,
the Vincenzo, and Josh Hart all play college basketball together too,
So you can't really just, you know, dispute that.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Also, the fans, they tried their best to take over Philadelphia,
even though the owner of the Sixers helping out the
first responders getting them tickets. And when Embiid first came
out on the floor, I thought, it's a good thing
the first responders are in the building, because he looked
like he needed help, but he had the brace on
and give him credit, you know, and then they've got
(11:55):
sixty million dollars in cap space and they have five
first round picks that are available. So the seventy six
ers are in pretty good shape. Now, the question is
who's that person you bring in. Tyrese Maxie's a free agent,
You're gonna pay him. I think there's some guys you're
gonna let go here. Maybe Kyle Lowry comes back as
(12:17):
your backup point guard, maybe Tobias Harris, Siya. There'll be
a couple of players that probably won't be back. Uh
Oubray is gonna want to get paid. But if you
could bring in another player, and that's why there's there's
been talk of can you bring in Paul George? Okay,
(12:38):
I don't want to stunt the growth of Tyrese Maxi
because I want Maxi to take that next step and
be Brunson.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I want him to be the leader.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You know, when Bide is a spectacularly talented player, he's
going to the Hall of Fame. But I do think
we you almost have to see that torch passed and
let Maxie be the guy who's going to be running
that team. And maybe that helped Embiid, So it's not
always Hey, you got to put up thirty a night.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Yes, Mark, do you think decisions can be like a
nugget situation where they have a joker in a murray
where you know, Embiid you know, I'm not feeling great.
Everybody moved to the side and have Max you just
do his thing like we just saw in the first round.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, they don't have that depth.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You know, they're they're you know, Denver's got maybe the
best starting five. Although if you listen to the Phoenix
Suns owner Matt ishbia He, he says, everything's good here.
We'll talk about that coming up a little bit. You know,
you get these these owners, and you know, when you
become an owner, then all of a sudden people care
what you have to say. You can be a billionaire
(13:40):
and people in your office may care. Now he's speaking
for Arizona, say eh, everything's good. Hey, twenty seven owners
would trade their rosters. There's some crazy thing that he
said for our roster, like, okay, So the Phoenix Suns
owner says, everything's okay, Okay, Yes, Mark, Deep.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Don't be crazy to say twenty seven. He said twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Oh, he did twenty nine owners would trade their roster
for the Phoenix Suns. Well, you just got swept. Minnesota
is not going to change. They're not going to trade
their roster. Denver's not going to trade their roster. Would
the Knicks trade their roster?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I mean, that's just rattling off a couple of rosters
that you have. Are the Celtics going to trade their roster?
I mean it's silly to say that, but when you're
a billionaire, you're so used to people going, yes, oh
that's a great idea. Oh yeah, you're so funny. Okay,
But the reality is sports has a way of humbling
(14:42):
these guys like David Tepper in Carolina. Everybody's a billionaire
who owns a team of the NFL. They don't care,
and you can't outsmart your way, you know, just because
they're bully your way.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Like I'm a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Okay, great, you got a crappy did you make a
mistake quarterback? Now there's a lot of things. Mightn't you
stop throwing drinks on fans when you become an owner?
You know, that's why when these guys lose their team,
sell their team nobody cares after that.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
And you have these.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Owners who we do listen to when they get in
front of the media, they're like, okay, all right, here's
the owner of the Phoenix Suns. All right, good job, Matt,
you became a billionaire. Now, good luck in holding on
to that roster, putting it together, trying to compliment that roster,
because I do think there are a couple of owners
who wouldn't trade their roster for your roster. All right, Well,
(15:40):
take a break. Rick Carlisle, fresh off the win last
night against Milwaukee, he'll join us. Coming up, settle on
a poll question, play of the day, stat of the day,
all of that coming up. It's some meat Friday. We're

Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Fox Sports MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
And I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to be around
to talk a little bit about managerial decisions and what
may have accredited to the dugout maybe in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's the Book of Joe podcasts. I can't wait for this, Joe.
Speaker 11 (16:31):
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in Major.
Speaker 10 (16:35):

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, well, there are no boundaries, right.
Speaker 2 (16:39):

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And we will get to your phone calls. Coming up.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Charles Barkley will join us in an hour from now.
Cabs Magic Game six tonight, Clippers at the Mavericks Game
six as well. Milwaukee Bucks sent packing by the Prick.
Carlinle third season as the Pacers head coach, joining us
on the program. Go back a week when you heard
that Giannis was not going to be able to play,
(17:10):
might be limited. What adjustments did you make?
Speaker 11 (17:16):
Well, you know, a couple of the adjustments had to
be with any notion that it was then going to
be an easy task to try to beat these guys
because they have veteran experience, they're a proud team, They've
got a lot of physical toughness, and so, you know,
it was just it was uncertain, you know, I think
(17:38):
Giannas's injury it happened about eight to ten days before
serious was going to start. Seemed pretty clear that he
probably wouldn't play the first game, maybe the first two games,
but there was a lot of just stuff lying around.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
It was we just didn't know.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
And then so that was something and they were you know,
you know, the not not unpredictably, there was I think
their team fed the little miss in the the information,
you know, pathways a little bit. There was a lot
of rumors about this, rumors about that, so you know,
(18:18):
it became in a way, a different kind of challenge.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
What's the differences between playoff coaching and regular season coaching?
Speaker 11 (18:28):
Well, Dan, the playoffs are insanity. I mean it's you know,
I and I. You know, Steve Nash once said this,
it's the playoffs are so intense and so emotional that
when you win a game in the playoffs, it's you
get so exuberant, you feel like you're never going to
lose again, and when you lose a game in the playoffs,
(18:50):
you feel like you're never gonna win again.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I mean, it's that it's that extreme. And so.
Speaker 11 (18:57):
You know, you can have some big games in the
in the regular season. This year, you know, the n
Season Tournament added to the intensity level a pretty significant amount,
you know, back in November December.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
But there's nothing like the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
When you guys get done with your win, you close
out the bucks, how quickly do you turn on the
next game?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Well, I.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Drove home, which is about twenty five minute drive, and
then turned it on and watched you know, whatever was
left of the third quarter and the fourth and I
mean you talk about ups and downs, I mean the
stuff that was going on in that series was it
was crazy. I mean, you know, Phillies down eight with
like two minutes to go when they tie it, you
(19:43):
know last night.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
And then in game five, I mean.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
We go out, we go out for our Game five,
which was after the next Game five. You know, I
left the locker room in Milwaukee to go out for
our game, and you know, New York was upset with
like forty five seconds left, and he just said, okay,
well the nixt.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
One and then you find out after the game. They
lost it over time, like what.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
But that's that's how that's how crazy things can be
in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Who does Jalen Brunson remind you of.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Well, that's a great question.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
He's a he's he's forged out a you know, a
niche in in in the NBA and really in league
history and nick history, which is you know, very very
very unique. You know, there's there's a little bit of
Steve Nash. I suppose, there's some James Harden, There's some.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You know, I you know, I could go on and on.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
I mean, there's some Dame Lillard, there's some, there's a lot,
there's a lot of different elements. But he's he's doing
something that is very uniquely him. And and you know,
I know Jalen well because we had him for his
first couple of years when I was when I was
in Dallas. He's just he's a he's a guy that
is as extremely strong belief in himself and you know,
(21:15):
New York has turned him loose, you know, to really
go and just take it, talk to whatever extreme he
can take it. And so it's been amazing to watch.
I'm very very happy for him, very proud of him
and very much not looking forward playing coaching against him.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
We're talking to Rick Carlisle, the Pacers head coach, and
then you have Tyre's Halliburton. Do you allow him the
same kind of freedom that the Knicks do with Brunson?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Well, I think it's pretty evident that we do.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
I mean, you know, Tyree's runs the team, he calls
the plays, he has the latitude to be as aggressive
as he teams necessary offensively, And I just I'm just
a believer that if you have if you have special
(22:10):
players like a Tyresee or a Brunson, you know, or
a Donchis, which I who I coached for three years,
you know, you you've got a rare opportunity to allow
these guys, you know, to have the keys.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
And when you do that and empower them, you know,
great things, great things can happen.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
What was your reaction or opinion first time you saw Luca.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
In person the first time I saw him in person,
was you know he he he didn't play in the
Summer League.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
We we we felt that, you know, since he he
would get gone through to two euro the euro League
and one of the other leagues. They have like different trophies.
It's somewhat it's somewhat simp of soccer over there. But
his season is is the last part of his season
ended like a couple of days before the draft, and
(23:08):
so we just felt that, you know, having him jump
into Summer League from the draft would have would have
been a mistake from a physical fatigue standpoint, so we
held him out. He said on the bench during the
summer League he wanted, he wanted to play, and you know,
we just we just said, no, this is not the
right thing.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
And so the first time I saw him play in
person was.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
In a pickup game that fall in twenty eighteen, and
he he came in and you know, we had signed
DeAndre Jordan, we had you know, Wes Matthews, we had
who else, Harrison Barnes was on the team. We had
(23:53):
the makings of a of a of a of a
pretty good team. And he came in and he was
He played the pickup game like Magic Johnson. He passed
the ever loving crap out of it. He was he
was getting every rebound, he scored some, but he was
just absolutely controlling the game with vision, passing, you know,
(24:18):
a few shots here and there, and you know, I
watched this and I said, Jesus, guy's this guy's actually
a point guard. We weren't sure he played point in
the in his team at Real Madrid, but you're just
never sure how it's all going to translate to the NBA.
But you know, on day one, it was clear that
(24:39):
that he was that he was a point guard.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
And so you know, then.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
From there, figuring out how how to kind of take
that in the direction that needed to go was was
a little challenging because we had Dennis Smith Junior, who
was a young player, very talented too, so, but that
was what day one looked like. And then once we
got into this season, you know, you know, Luca found
(25:04):
out that, you know, he.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Could really score.
Speaker 11 (25:09):
I mean, it's scoring became very easy to him in
the NBA. And you'd have to ask him this, but
I think I think he probably would say that, you know,
he just he wasn't. He didn't realize coming in that
he would would have been able to impact the game
scoring wise the way he did, and so he was.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
He was a super dynamic from from day one.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
And obviously you know he's with a finalist for for
m v P now and if it doesn't happen this year,
It'll it's going to happen soon.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Who's the best shooter in the building? Which building like
your your practice? How about the city of Indianapolis. Who's
the best shooter in town?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Boy, it'd be hard, it'd be hard not to say
that it's Tyree Celiburton right now. Now, if you know,
if Fridgie Miller was.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
In town, what about Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
It might be a different conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What's that Caitlin Clark? Is she a factor in?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Oh? She fract chief factors in. This is a trick question.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
I knew, I knew you'd hit me with one of these,
but I I I've gotta I've gotta lean toward my
team just because you know, these these are these are
my guys. But uh, you know, Caitlin being on the
scene is is really cool too. And the city I
think part of part of the buzz around our city
(26:35):
and our team, you know, comes a little bit with
the buzz of her arriving in town as well.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Is Bird still in town? Do you see him often?
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Uh? From time to time? Yeah, he I don't know
if he's back in Indiana yet. He's eating Florida in
the winter, and then he'll be back at his ranch
and uh In uh In in southern Indiana sometime soon.
But if you're asking if he's in the conversation for
best shooter.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I think I think that's an obvious Yes, I'm sure
that he would still think he's the best shooter.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
And I know and I know, I know you're gonna
probably ask me about the left handed scoring thing.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
But you asked me about that one other time.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So if that was against Portland, right, yeah, that was
against Portland.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
It was it was it was about left handed jump shooting.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
You know, if you're righty, and he'd be you know,
he would, he'd win that contest.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Okay, imagine if Luca said I'm going to take just
left handed shots in a game. How would you have
reacted to that if you were his coach, Well.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
Knowing what I know about Luca, I would have let
him do whatever he felt the right, you know, the right.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Thing at the time.
Speaker 11 (27:46):
Like I can't tell you the amount of money I
lost to Luca betting against him making half court shots
in practice. I mean, you know, like coach, you know,
you know, you know, I'm not gonna give you I'm
not gonna give you the amount of money one out
of one, out of three, one out of three. I
was like, yeah, no way. And then he makes this
(28:08):
first or second one like every time. I mean, it was,
it was. It was absolutely uncanny, and you know he
just looka was one of the was one of those
guys that all all he can ever see is how
something is going to happen, like and like doubt never
never seemed to enter his mind at all, and therefore,
(28:31):
you know, he never thinks about missing. And so you
know a lot of these guys are very unwilling to
take you know, these end of quarter you know, full
court heaves, and you know it's interesting, Dan, Like I
was on some committees, you know, over the years where
you know, we talked about this, and you know, some
(28:53):
people said, well, why don't we just come up with
a rule where if a guy takes a shot at
the end of the court or beyond half court.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
And it misses, it doesn't count as a field goal attempt.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
You know, then then you won't have all this you know,
holding on the ball till the red light goes on
and then flinging it knowing it didn't count, and then
and then we talked about it, and then you know,
one of the things I said was, if we do that,
you're gonna have guys getting the ball with seven seconds
left in the back court, keeping it in the back court,
keeping it behind the line, behind the half court line,
(29:27):
so that on the on the on the chance that
it doesn't go in, they don't get a they don't
get a field.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Goal at ten.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So that's all stat related that these guys don't want
to take these shuts.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah, and you're really seriously asking that question.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Well, I'm surprised that. I mean, these guys just shoot,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No.
Speaker 11 (29:47):
But but in the case of in the case of Luca,
in the case of tyres I had Darryl Armstrong for
one year as a player, and Darryl, Darryl took it
as a personal challenge, and he made two or three
of them from like sixty feet.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
And I'm saying, like, if you, if you took, if
you eliminated all.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
The you know, full and three quarter court heaves that
Luca takes and Tyreese takes, these guys would be shooting
him like they're already shooting a great percentage from three.
I mean it would be like exponentially higher. So there's
a different wiring for for some of these guys. And
Bert was the same way. Bert would shoot it every time.
(30:28):
But you know, you see a lot of guys at
the end of at the end of the courts, they
hang on to it and then you know they hear
the buzzer, red leg goes on, and then they liked that.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Then they fling it up there.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
When did carrying get out of control? Carrying carrying the ball?
I mean, we're already past traveling, but like I go
back to Stockton and Iverson, it felt like they were
the first guys and now everybody carries the basketball.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Is that I love I love this show.
Speaker 11 (31:04):
And you were my mentor at ESPN, which is one
of the reasons I've had such a great broadcasting career. Probably,
but I'm not into a fifty or sixty thousand dollars
fine talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Oh oh okay.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I know this is a very highly rated show.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
But it's the concept. It's not the reps.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
It's that we've we've allowed it in college and high school.
How about you can be the anti carrying Sherman say.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
As if you're one of the ones that's this responsible.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
It bothers me, It bothers me.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 11 (31:41):
I don't see it as as as that big of
that bigger problem. You mean, we had to carry call
on tyres and game five or something like this, and
so it.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Still gets called. I think.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
I think the bigger thing is that players have adjusted
to it, and I don't think players carry the ball
as much as they did and perhaps in the old days,
you know, traveling is another is another big challenge, but
the league has made a point of it.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I think they've done a better job with it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You're not gonna get fined, I won't now, But there
was a chance you were headed down that path. Did
I ever tell you when I got Steve Kerr fined.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Accidentally?
Speaker 11 (32:21):
Did you ever tell me? I probably saw it on
you know, your Instagram stuff comes up all the time,
so you know I may have seen it.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
He I think I cost him twenty five grand. He
was the GM of the Suns and I I was
asking him about maybe, hey, you got the mid level
exemption for Lebron and he talked about that, and he
wasn't allowed to talk about like he was joking and
the commissioner find him twenty five grand.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
So yeah, I mean, you know, after the after the
Indiana Fever got the first pick, you know, I got
a couple of quests and hey, what do you think
about Caitlin Clark?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
You know?
Speaker 11 (33:02):
And then I said, well, I gotta be careful about
what I say because I don't want to violate any
rules here. But you know, I can't get enough of
these step back forty footers. I mean, this is this
is the best watching her play, you know. So we're
obviously looking forward to they play pretty soon. Yeah, they
jump right into this thing. But anyway, yeah, I know, I.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Look, I there are certain things you gotta be careful.
I know I'm bugging about.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
All right, we'll rest that voice for Monday against the Knicks.
You're gonna need it in the garden.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Appreciate that. Good to see us always.
Speaker 1 (33:42):

Has Patrick Beverley played his last game in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yes? Or no?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Right now most people saying no, no, they think he's
still got some value left.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Okay, I don't know. Should he have played his last
game in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
He's already on like a what was it a one year,
three million dollar deal or something like that, which is
great money, but in NBA terms, not necessarily. Once you
start throwing the ball twice at the fans, yeah, and
even in that moment, not being like, oh damn, I
just really screwed up. Let me go, be really difficult
(35:53):
to the media afterwards.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'd like to know what set him off right so
much that you throw the basketball twice, but even still.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Throwing the basketball at people, whatever was said is not
going to reflect well.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
We'll talk to Charles Barkley. He'll join us coming up
in a half hour from now. Let me go back
to something Rick Carlisle talked about. It's the Larry Bird
Portland Trailblazers game, and Larry said before the game he
was going to shoot left handed, and he did. I
don't know how he scored you know, twenty some points
left handed against the Blazers, and we just showed a
(36:32):
clip of these shots, and I was wondering, let's say
the joker announced that he was going to do this.
I mean, you got to have somebody who's established, because
let's say Luca said, oh, you know, it's so easy
to score I'm shooting left handed tonight against the Clippers.
We probably have a problem with that. But here's Bird
(36:55):
who had had you know, three MVPs and one titles,
and you know, he had established himself. And he was like,
and I don't know if he I don't know who
talked to him and said, you know, why left handed,
unless he probably would have been honest and just said,
look on board, you know, maybe a challenge, yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 8 (37:14):
His next opponent after the Trailblazers was the Lakers, and
the media thought he was joking around. He said, he
announced he was going to do it. Then he said
he's saving his right hand for the Lakers, and everyone left.
Two days later he played against the Lakers and he
played right handed.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:30):
I think you're right, though, I think it would be
a mixed bag of reaction even to a guy like that.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Even if Lebron said this more so April would, they
would pile on Lebron, like, oh god.
Speaker 8 (37:42):
But Jokic just mastered the game. His team is doing great.
They'll say it was a November thirteenth game against Charlotte.
I think it'd be very mostly positive because he can
get away with it. He's likable, he's awesome. But some
people are like, oh, you're making a mockery of it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, yeah, but he did. He took all of his
shots left handed in Portland, Yes, Todd.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
I wouldn't like it to find it disrespectful to the
other team. Imagine if Steph Curry after every shot did
the shimmy or something like that, or someone flipped their
bat every time they got a hit, whether it's a
home run or just a single.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
But he's not being flamboyant when he's doing this. He's
just doing something different. And most of the shots that
he's taking required shooting left handed.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
Well, no one wants someone to come across thinking like
this sport or this thing I do for a living
is so easy. I gotta try, you know, something else.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
So they had to do it a different way.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I don't know we're still talking about it. Yeah, Paul,
I love legendary moments.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
Sometimes they're off putting in the moment, but like if
Babe Ruth really called his shot, I don't know if
he did. But when bo Jackson ran up that wall,
he didn't have to run up the wall after the
catch the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yes, when he ran for that touchdown. You put a.
Speaker 8 (38:51):
Little extra sauce once in a while because you can. Yeah,
that's how legends are made.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah huh, Yes, Marv.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
That's why you ask every guest about their favorite mat
Michael Jordan and Larry Bird story, because those two guys
always had a story about trash talking and then backing
it up afterwards.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Everybody had a story about Bird, and everybody has his
story the first time they played against Jordan, they do
because Bird was going to talk trash to you.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Bird used to do.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
He'd go tweet tweet, take a seat when he'd hit
a shot on somebody who was young.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Tweet tweet, take a tweet tweet, take a seat. Yeah,
fall We've had.
Speaker 8 (39:31):
Like six different players tell us they heard Bird say,
I can't believe you've got.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
To get white white guy on to him. I just
remember when Dan Marley was guarding him, and he looked
at Mark West, I think, and he didn't even talk
to Marley. He looked at him and said, I can't
believe you got a white guy guarding me, and Marley
didn't even know what was going on, such disrespect. Yes,
he wouldn't talk to Marley. Poor Marley's out there running
(39:57):
around chasing him.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
And then I can't believe you put a what guy
whom he should have had a late roll back?
Speaker 7 (40:02):
Then, yes, Marmon, Or when Tom Tolbert said I've gone
Larry Burton, I say shot and Larry bursay, Yes, it.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Is Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning Buddha, No Noboddy.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
Thanks for calling DP, what's up, Fritzy, what's up? Patrick?
Speaker 11 (40:23):
Beverly?
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Dan, Mental Midget?
Speaker 12 (40:26):
And may all playoff series be as entertaining as the
next sixer series?
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Damn, I mean next don't.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
Even have Julius Randalls.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yep.
Speaker 12 (40:34):
But damn this might sound radical, but why do I
feel like some NBA team is gonna draft Bronnie and
then they're gonna hold him hostage for a trade package
with the Lakers, and then Lebron's gonna have to go
Liam Neeson and get his kid back.
Speaker 8 (40:50):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
I hope Bronnie goes and plays another year of college basketball.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I think he needs it.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
He might get drafted, maybe he's in a developmental league,
the G League, but he's just not ready to play.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I mean he might be.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Seems like he's a great kid, good defender, knows how
to play, but he just he's not ready to play
in the NBA. Now, there's a lot of players who
aren't ready to play. But you're Lebron James's son. So
you walk in and people are going to go, wait,
which one's Lebron? Soon that one really? Charles Barkley will
(41:29):
join us coming up. Get some more phone calls as well.
When can we get to the point where we can
compare ant Man to Michael Jordan? Are we there yet?
Charles will join us coming up in twenty minutes from now.
