DAN PATRICK SHOW – Dan discusses the Mavs stealing Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on the road in Minnesota, why Anthony Edwards admitting he was too tired to keep up with Kyrie late was a big mistake, why the WCF could be a coming out party for Kyrie, and why he and Aaron Rodgers are so similar.

you know this could be one of those coming out parties for Kyrie because one of the most talented players ever played the game but we might look at him when it’s all said and done the way we do Aaron roders they’ve kind of brought controversy they’ve brought attention they’ve got one title each now you can’t deny the talent with either one of these players but Aaron’s got one Super Bowl Kyrie’s got an NBA title and he hit the biggest shot he won the we he won the final with the shot over Steph Curry but here’s a guy who’s never been First Team all NBA when you watch him sometimes I always go God why didn’t he do that all the time or why doesn’t it work with other teams you know we know what happened in Cleveland he wanted it to be his team it was his team LeBron comes back now it’s not his team they win a title now he wants to have his team he goes to the young Boston Celtics it does not work out there uh Brooklyn he tried to create his own team him and KD didn’t work out there Dallas gets him for pennies on the dollar and all of a sudden he’s trying to figure out exactly how to make this work with Luca which is not easy because Luca ball dominant and Kyrie’s just trying to fill in the area there of what do you need me to do game to game and he’s done a wonderful job probably an underrated job I think we get caught up in his comments and therefore you know he’s probably turned off a lot of NBA fans I got to be fair to him when I watch him on the floor whether I like what he said off the floor I got to assess him in what I see and he’s played really really well and it’s been quiet All Quiet on the Western Front and now here they are three wins away from playing in the NBA finals and it might be one of those coming out parties again yes Marv do you think when Kyrie was young and he won the title when he’s maybe 24 years old he said I can go somewhere else and play with another Superstar and Wing do you think he got to the point where like man this is harder than I thought and so now with Luca he’s like I can’t squander this opportunity cuz look how long it took me to get back even to the Conference Finals yeah I think that’s a fair assessment of it but you know I don’t know if we’ve ever had Kyrie on I don’t know him I’ve read articles about him but I don’t know what his mindset is I don’t know if basketball sometimes you’re so good at something that you don’t have to like Kyler Murray he was so good at football in high school they didn’t lose really good in college then all of a sudden you get to the pros and it’s like I’m talented but they’re talented too now now is when you have to work Kyrie’s been so talented what did he play eight or nine games at Duke and then he’s the number one draft pick uh and then it it looked like it came easy to him and then you win when you’re young and then all of a sudden you’re like I want my own team and then you go to Boston that was a young nucleus there I mean imagine if Kyrie was able to keep it together with that Boston Unit whooo then he goes to Brooklyn he’s going to hook up with KD they’re going to create their own super team and that doesn’t work out and then all of a sudden it’s like he’s in no man’s land and Dallas is probably not his last stop but what he’s doing right now it’s really impressive and it should be recognized as being very impressive he plays when he when he’s on he does things nobody else does according to DraftKings Timberwolves are still big favorites to advance to the NBA finals but last night you had Kyrie going off in the first half and you had Luca going off in the fourth quarter that was enough to and they did a lot of their damage in the paint which I’m surprised at because when you think of Minnesota best defensive team in the NBA you got the defensive player of the year you got basically three SF Footers inside and Dallas Dallas dominated in the paint last night surprised with that more on that game coming up more on the Pacers in the Celtics as well uh what do we have Satan for our poll question stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America the official trading cards of the program and this first hour brought to you

one uh best vague excuse for losing a game quote it was just not our night quote uh we didn’t execute the way we wanted to or some of us didn’t want enough enough okay can you play Anthony Edwards after last night’s game Anthony Edwards the 22-year-old next Michael Jordan had this to say did you think that the high from game seven maybe kind of affected you guys coming in in it today at all yeah for sure I mean y’all can see it was a little a step a step behind everybody especially myself um Kyrie got a transition layup from I think we scored and he just outran me I was just exhausted man so yeah for sure but we’ll be all right okay you may think that but don’t say that you’re 22 Kyrie after a made basket took the ball and went coast to coast and blew by Anthony Edwards that’s not a good excuse we ran out of energy we a little tired maybe what happened in Den I get it game seven on the road at altitude but you were back home Dallas only needed six games to put away OKC I understand that you’re 10 years younger than Kyrie Irving don’t admit that that’s not a good excuse what are the other excuses we have there Satan uh it was just not our night just not our night that’s the best okay yeah to be fair we don’t have you know what we were just tired on the list we don’t have that but you rarely hear that one our our are athletes not allowed to be tired if you’re 22 Yeah I’m going to say no if if we’ve been praising you for your athleticism you’re the next Michael Jordan and then you tell me that Kyrie who’s 10 years older than you blew by you Coast to Coast I have a little bit of a like it could happen one time but then he said well we might be tired yes see don’t we expect athletes to leave it all out there every single night uh yeah which would imply exhausting all of your uh physical abilities maybe he’s exhausted from exhausting all of his physical abilities correct okay yeah yeah just saying I don’t think you admit to that yeah I don’t know that you do either I don’t think you’re too you are too young to do that but actually it’s probably worse to do it when you’re old when you’re aging and you’re like you know what we were just exhausted out there be like yeah cuz you’re too old okay imagine if any other players said this AKA KD Lebron oh there we go how how much would we be crushing them today you know maybe we’re just tired maybe we’re just old feels like with Ant-Man the way he says something like it doesn’t sound as bad because he’s so entertaining when he’s delivering it working on his Kevin Hart delivery you know yeah if it’s like if some people say they’re exhausted it’s definitely worse than others like if ad was like man we were just exhausted be like oh oh my god dude shut up play the game you’re right yeah like I would have no patience for it whatsoever uh what other poll questions do we have today I I well you know now it’s the age of hey I’ll take all the blame somebody’s always taken the blame after the game and sometimes it’s the coach like Rick Carlile he’s got oh it’s on me and then Tyrese halberton goes no no I know what coach is trying to do you so is coach saying we didn’t execute the way we wanted to tonight or is coach saying some of us didn’t wanted enough oo damn one of those feels more player worthy the other one or how about you know we just weren’t prepared oh that’s a coach that’s I didn’t do a good job preparing the guys I didn’t do a good job okay you’re fired this one’s on me yeah literally your only job is to prepare them for the game they fired that’s your job especially during football season you guys had seven days to do this it’s the worst anything else uh well with the SE the series up 1 who do you like to win now has that shifted at all well I like Dallas but I you know it’s going to be a coin toss really I think it’s going seven games the thing that I was looking at there are a couple of things they scored in the paint which was really surprising um Dallas outscored Minnesota 10-3 in the final 3 and A2 minutes to pull out that win also the Mavericks outscored Minnesota 62-38 in the paint that’s incredible
