Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in the Bonus
with Doug Gottlieb.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
What Up Doug Gottlieb Show.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
In the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app Welcome in.
This is the special extra hour that only you can get,
only you can get.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
You know.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I think there's two different NBA series which last night
turned in very different directions. The Indiana Pacers took a
commanding two games done lead over the Milwaukee Bucks. Of course,
the Bucks did welcome back Damian Lillard wasn't quite the
normal Dame time right, hadn't played in a while. Because
the blood clots four of thirteen, two of eight from three,

(00:45):
and the Indiana Pacers behind twenty one and twelve from
Tyrese Haliburton in twenty four and eleven rebounds from Siakam.
They end up getting a win, really leading seemingly the
entire way.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Right.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
They were up I think twelve heading into the fourth quarter,
and the Bucks made it competitive but could never never
get over the hump. Meanwhile, the Lakers even up their
series at one game a piece. Remember, the Pacers are
at home, the Lakers are at home, So the Lakers
losing home court advantages a bigger thing than the Pacers
winning both of their games at home. But I think
there's significance there, Right, there's significance in that.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
You know, for Damian.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Lillard, who was the guy who was super loyal, wouldn't
leave Portland, went to one Western Conference finals, and everybody
thought if he was ever on a great team, he
would be a superstar. It hasn't happened.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Again.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
You got to get him the benefit of doubt because
he's dealing with blood clots, like that's something you don't
want to mess with. But it does call into question
kind of everything he did in Portland, right, I mean
doesn't it. It's a different, maybe slightly better version of
Brad Beal. Like when you're the best player, you kind

(01:59):
of top out at first round or second round of
the playoffs. When you're the second or third best player
or second best player, you can't get to an NBA finals,
in this case, strugging to get out of the first round.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
That says something.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Because the best play, the best of the best of
the best find ways to win in the playoffs in
the NBA, which is what brings you to the Lakers, Right,
I thought Game one and this is why you don't
ever go super crazy even though you think the.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Matchup isn't a good one.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
The Lakers were completely dominated by the Timberwolves, yet the
even up the series at one game apiece last night.
What does that signify? Well, I mean again, it signifies
the fact that Luca Lucas unbelievable thirty one and twelve
and nine assists, and Mike Conley, who he had so
many glowing things of praise to say he looked like

(02:46):
a thirty seven year old point guard last night, did
not pee a drop insummation. I still think the Bucks
are in the series. Obviously they got to win Game three,
and I still think the Timberwolves are in are in
command of that series, although you just don't want to
get to a Game seven in La at Crypto with

(03:07):
Lebron and Luca knowing they're gonna get calls, they get respect,
and they're the type of guys that can carry you
and go and win a game, whereas Anthony Edwards can
do it but hasn't done it in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Per se. I walk away last.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Night going yeah, I don't know on Damian Lillard, I'll
give him a pass on this one. I walk away
with the Timberwolves thinking I still think they're better than
the Lakers, but I also walk away thinking both these
series are going to go.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
In the six to seven Game Variety.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Let's get to what the Fox says and now every
day at this time the Doug Gottlieb Show. In the
Bonus podcast, we play for you a previous portion of
a Fox Sports Radio Fox Sports One show.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
This is Dan Patrick.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
He and I had this exchange on his show earlier today.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
By the way, didn't you critique Caitlin Clark's shooting form?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yes? Okay, yes, but see that. That's where you're like, no,
what do you know?

Speaker 5 (04:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
What do you mean know? No? Hold on wait wait
wait wait.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Wait wait wait wait I could critique show.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
No no, no, no, no, no no no, no. How many divisual
mens v log? Dan?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
If you ever have a shooting oh, I have to
play now to understand shooting. Oh again, Well, I haven't
coached a game, correct, I probably can coach and win
four games?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Again, Yes, I could probably win five.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Okay, yeah, see I just in the in the in
the in the sake of fairness, you are the guy
Dan who told Ray Allen he was shooting the ball
wrong to his face.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
To his face, you did you did say.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
You know you're doing that wrong?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
First to his face?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
First of all, what was the actual tweet? What was
the actually it was the tweet? She can't shoot?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
No, or you talk about her form?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
She was shooting the ball from the less other side
of her like Kevin Durant does, and it's a.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
No he does not the end well in the end
right Okay, But she wasn't.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
She has she had a little Lonzo ball and she
since adjusted it. And the point of the tweet was,
it's amazing how much work she's put in to shoot
through a shooting flaw. Okay, to shoot through a shooting flaw,
where like Clay Thompson like, that's how you're supposed to
shoot a basketball. That looks like the picture of how
every person is supposed to the basketball. There's no Reggie
Aloysius Miller, you know, shot the ball with two hands.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's not but he's shot through a flaw.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
It actually shows he has greater work ethic and confidence
because no matter what how you're supposed to do it,
he did it so often and with so much confidence
he can make it in spite of it. Okay, but
if you watch Caitlin Clark form now, take a snapshot
of it, take a snapshot of it last year when
she was heading into the w NBA. She's changed and
fixed her shot. People don't want to hear it because
I was a bad shooter in college. My issue was one,

(06:03):
I was a Heinz fifty seven guy, so many people
making suggestions that was constantly moving around. And two it
became a self confidence thing. But if I couldn't physically
shoot a basketball, I wouldn't have been recruited by the
number of schools that was recruited by The shooting issues
didn't stop us from winning. And oh yeah, by the way,
they didn't actually occur in terms of fundamental flaws.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
But look, if if you out there, that's my job,
oh it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Not the head coach.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
It wasn't as the head coach. That was when I
was just a radio host and basketball analyst. Go check
the time stamp on it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Give me the time stamp on the Okay, that was
that was.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
That was before I became the head basketball coach at
Green Bay, and since I've become the head basketball coach,
we talk about the same thing. We talk about do
we do we fix a guy's shot and change his form,
which you have to strip it back.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Down and then build it back up or just make
adjudgment to it.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I think May first? What day did I get the job?

Speaker 7 (06:59):
Dan?

Speaker 4 (07:00):
May fifteenth?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Thank you?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
So?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
What was my job at the time that I made
the tweet?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Your job was to be a radio host.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
And college basketb analyst And oh yeah, by the way,
like this is the amazing thing about me. Whether I
like it or don't like it, the reality is that
I do have this unique ability to draw reaction, to
draw reaction.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
You do, okay?

Speaker 7 (07:22):
You do?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
So, okay, I just I stand by my analysis. I
shot okay. Her three point numbers had gone down when
she was at IOWA, and they were lower when she
was in the WNBA, And by my assessment, it was
because she was so good. She was getting guarter further
and further out and she was shooting further and further out.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yet No, but you.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Do know who her boyfriend is, right, Yeah? Connor McCaffrey.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Okay, do you know Connor McCaffrey's dad is yeah, okay,
you know he recruited me to Notre Dame. He's like
a second father to me, is a mentor to me.
So yeah, like I'm I'm We're good. It's not like
Kaitlin Clark's going around. She's not like Lebron James's so
insecure that she wants to tweet at me.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Right, that should help you today.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I mean, just again, when I'm right, I'm right, and
sometimes being right bothers people. This is a Doug Gottlieb
show here on Fox Sport Tradio. This is what does
the Fox say. Here's Colin Cowherd talking about Lebron James.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Lebron's comp is not Michael Jordan, it's Brady. For Brady
at forty five years old to league the NFL and
pass attempts and throw for forty seven hundred yards and
lead the league in completions. That's Lebron who in year
twenty two with other stars on the floor in a
crucial game for the Lakers, Lebron's the tone center. And
remember Lebron tried to pass the baton to a d

(08:44):
four years ago he tried to say, hey, dude, I'm
not into points. Lead us in scoring. And although AD
finally got in shape and AD was very consistent defensively,
you never knew what you were getting from Ad offensive,
So so often Lebron would wait when he was a
team at an AD, he would play a very soft

(09:05):
first quarter, want Ad to take the baton with scoring,
and AD wouldn't, and then Lebron would have to take
over and pray Austin Reeves could help him be the two.
This is where Lebron and Luca are great, is that
Lebron's not into the points thing. He doesn't care. He
wants energy in the fourth quarter. He conserves it when

(09:27):
he can. Like last night he couldn't. He had to
play with energy right out of the gate, but he
was letting Luca take over the score.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with
Lebron not being into scoring. It has to do with
Lebron's forty something years old and Luca is a better scorer.
And yeah, Lebron has always been more magic than Jordan
in terms of scoring.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
But like, let's not kid ourselves.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
He's completely into scoring. That's why he wanted to stay
and set the all time scoring mark. I mean it's
the reason that he doesn't. He doesn't play limited minutes
in game games because he wants his scoring average up
until this year to be above twenty five for the
longest period of time in the history of the NBA.
Please stop with the Lebron's not in the stats when

(10:10):
Lebron's quite obviously in the stats.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Now does he play to win? Yeah, you're in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
You play to win, and the best way to win
with this current team is to let Luca take over,
and to let Luca take over, especially during the second
and third quarter, so you have energy at your age
for the fourth quarter. But you know, like Colin acting
like Lebron isn't into scoring is like wink wink, smile smile.

(10:37):
Didn't he hold the whole league hostage so he could
set the all time scoring mark last year?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's what the Fox said say.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Let's find out who or what is annoying Jason Stewart.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And now it's your annoying.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
This is my favorite part of the podcast only part
of the Doug Gottlieb Show, which is where and I
have I'm actually going to help you out here today, Jason,
because I have several things that are annoying the crap
out of me, and I get this is our chance
to event.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
But you are one of.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
You're a you're a curmudgeon, You're a bit of a
Debbie Downer, and you come up with things that annoy
you every day. And then we decide who is or
what is the most annoying thing currently within our within
our sphere, within our spectrum, with underneath our purview or whatever.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
So what do you got today?

Speaker 7 (11:45):
Well, first of all, what annoys me is people calling
me a curmudgeon or a downer Debbie Downer, I would
say curious, I would say skeptical, I would say pessimist.
Wait wait, wait, the first two I guess assume there's
some kind of laziness, and then that I have it's
just negative.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Debbie Downer is not uh is not lazy. A Debbie
Downer is a pessimist, which is what you kind of are.
I understand you're in the You're you're in the NonStop
search for the opposite of whatever bullshit is? Right, that's
that that you want that on your tombstone, so bs.
I know it annoys you probably more than anything. What

(12:24):
do you got that's annoying you today?

Speaker 7 (12:26):
Rick Carlyle On Tyrese Haliburton getting voted most overrated player
according to a player's poll. There was an anonymous player
poll that came out and the players voted Tyree's is
the most over at attending the league. He's been candid
about I heard about this, and the other guys on
the list were Jimmy Butler and Giannis.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Right, and I want to see I want to see.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
The guys faces that voted those guys.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I want to see the faces of those guys. All Right,
this is a bullshit poll. Not not everybody even answered
in all right, guys were able to answer if they
wanted to. They were asked on camera or with a microphone.
The whole thing is bullshit, okay.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
And it's just it's really it's it's really a.

Speaker 7 (13:12):
Shameful thing, Carlos saying it's a shameful thing in.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
These anonymous have an anonymous poll.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
It's a It goes back to the guy that hates
anonymous sources in reporting, when anonymous sources actually are sometimes
the only way to the truth. Some of the biggest
stories in the history of journalism have happened because of
anonymous sources. I get that he's got to defend his guy,
but don't defend the process.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah yeah, let me back you up on the not
the idea of anonymous sources. Okay, So what you're pointing
out is, you know, like deep Throat is the most
famous anonymous source in the history of US politics, right,
and that's what brought down brought down Richard Nixon in
politics as president of the United States. But think of
the names that we have made up for people who

(14:01):
tell on other people. Right, you're a rat, You're a snitch,
you're a fink. Right, you're a narc case.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's if you tell.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
That's if somebody has done something wrong. You haven't done
anything wrong. You simply say, hey, this guy's doing something wrong,
and we label you with some term. So what exactly
do you think the win is in having a poll
where everybody puts their name by it, like Rick Carlisle is.
He's just obviously he's defending his player. I understand that, right,

(14:32):
you have to do it as a coach. You have
to defend your guys publicly.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
But this whole like, yeah, put your name on it. No,
you have a way better chance of getting the actual
truth that you did not what else is annoying you?
Who else?

Speaker 7 (14:46):
Or yesterday? That the Steelers are not going to allow
Aaron Rodgers to impact their draft decisions. The Steelers are
a just a microcosm of a bigger example. Everybody listening
to us right now and sitting in the studio have
friends or coworkers that you know you can't depend on,

(15:07):
so you send them an invite and then you do
your plans. Like Christina and I. She's got a cousin,
I've got a sister that can't be dependent on. But
we're gonna make plans and we're gonna show up. But
if they don't show up, we're not going to have
a worse time. That's what the Steelers are saying. Hey,
we're gonna let Aaron do his thing, We're not going
to allow it to handle or impact our day to day.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, that means that Aaron Rodgers is not gonna be
a Steeler, right.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think it has
anything to do with that. They're basically just saying you
don't proceed.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Wait, you don't think it has anything to do with
the fact that Aaron Rodgers is clearly not going to
be a Steeler.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
No, not in my example, because uh I know.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
In your example does not.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
But what they're saying, if they if they're gonna say, hey,
we're not gonna let Aaron Rodgers determine whether or not we
draft a quarterback. Don't draft a quarterback. Well, you're gonna
draft a quarterback, you draft Shader Standers. If he's there
in the first round, they're not gonna go acquire Aaron Rodgers.
Are not getting Aaron Rodgers because you're not gonna draft
the first round quarterback to not play, right. I mean again,

(16:09):
if you're doing that, then Aaron's not gonna want to
be there.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
One would think, I don't know, in Minnesota they got
a quarterback too, right.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
I think you I think we actually have our answer
by that. Anything else annoying you, I think you're just
annoyed by Aaron Rodgers not in inability to simply make
a decision.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
I'm just annoyed by people that you can't depend on
that you make plans and just if they come great.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, uh well, okay, I got a couple of things
that that are that are annoying me. I got a
couple a couple of things there, but I don't know
if I should share them on air.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I just need to catch my breath here.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
I'm annoyed that I I'm so are you ever annoyed
at yourself?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Right?

Speaker 3 (17:00):
I feel like I'm in this really good technological window.
Like I'm old enough to have kids that are older.
So my kids have grown up with cell phones in
their hands, so they can usually fix things that I
can't fix, like, here, show me how to do it, kid.
But I'm also now getting to that age where there's
just stuff technologically that I don't understand, and I've kind
of become my dad playing. Did your dad ever try
and play video games with you as a kid.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
And you're like, this is brutal. He just can't do this.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
My dad can play Miss back Man and that's about it.
But he could only play the Arcade Miss bac Man.
Never played Nintendo ever ever ever, or if he tried,
it just was kind of comically bad. I kind of
feel like I'm getting to that stage to where you know,
whether it's setting up Wi fi Wi Fi at my house,
using my phone, using iPads laptops, right, like a college.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Kid runs circles around me. Maybe so I just feel old,
Not sure, not sure.

Speaker 7 (17:55):
It sounds like one one more step towards gen Z
being boss. And that's a scary proposition.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
That's a scary, scary proposition. Who's most annoying?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
I think Rick Carlisle and the ever present desire by
people to not have anonymous sources or anonymous voting, not
understanding how valuable it is to get how people truly,
truly feel and think, Yeah for that, you're not.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Why are we doing this? Because we can?

Speaker 7 (18:30):
JJ Redick was caught on a hot mic calling a
time out last night.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I love it. I love it.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
I love the open mic. There the hot mic. There
I have there's there's some video of me. Here's what
they do though. They allow you to curse at revs.
You're you're just allowed to curse at them, if that
makes sense, right, Like you can say are you are
you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 2 (19:04):
But you can't say you're a fucking joke? Right?

Speaker 3 (19:07):
He can't direct it at them. It's a really weird thing,
and and there's certain there's obviously certain words which will
get their attention, and there's ways in which you can
do it, but like reacting and saying I can't like,
oh Jesus fucking Christ right, like that doesn't get you
a tea. And obviously when you get to a higher
level in the NBA, they allow even more leeway. But
usually what gets it is one they'll say I've had enough,

(19:30):
and two it's when you direct it towards one of
the You when't even make it personal.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
We even get personal, like you're a.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Fucking idiot is going to get your technical foul pretty
much every time, not every time, but pretty much every time.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Why can we play it for you? Because we can't.
All Right, that's it for the end of the Bus podcast.
