Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dallas Mavericks Fire GM Nico Harrison — Why Now?

• [02:53]–[06:29]
  • Dan announces and reacts in real-time to Nico Harrison’s firing ("Fans were chanting fire Nico. And they got their wish. Nico Harrison has been fired by the Dallas Mavericks." — Dan Patrick, 04:59).
  • The timing bewilders the crew: Harrison landed Cooper Flagg via lottery luck, but is out following the controversial Luka Dončić trade and after a slow season start.
  • Paulie questions logic: "How do you fire the GM for building the team with the Cooper Flagg pick? ... If you want to fire him based off the Luka trade, that window was a year ago." (05:07)
  • Dan reflects: "Has [Cooper Flagg] struggled? Absolutely... But he's a rookie. Patience here."
  • Discussion of return on the Luka-to-Lakers trade, acquiring Anthony Davis (deemed out-of-shape and injury-prone) and missed opportunity for a better deal.
  • Marvin: "It doesn’t help that the Lakers are playing really well. So it makes it look even worse." (06:29)

2. NBA: The Myth of Defense, Superstar Trades, and Impatience

• [06:29]–[08:12]
  • Dan challenges the old adage: “You know, when he's trying to tell me the defense wins championships... Okay, how about other guys play defense? He's going to play offense.” (06:53)
  • Defense/offense specialization historically: referencing Curry, Bird, Nash.
  • Public nature of sports firings versus the private reality of non-sports jobs, fans’ instant access to salaries and transactions.

3. NBA Statistical Oddities: Big Shots and Big Nights

• [10:00]–[13:07]
  • Recaps from previous night's games:
    • Victor Wembanyama’s 38pt, 12reb, 5blk, 18pts in the 4th ("The Bulls as a team scored 19 in the fourth quarter.").
    • Cleveland Cavaliers attempt 65 threes (most since 2019).
    • Cade Cunningham takes 45 shots (the most attempts since Wilt Chamberlain’s 1962 100pt game).
  • Paulie quizzes: Only other active player with 45+ shots in a game? Answer: Jalen Brunson (12:22).
  • Kobe Bryant's legendary shot volume: four games of 45+ shots post-1980.

4. Listener Calls and Banter: Old Newspaper Legends, Coaching Rumors

• [13:07]–[20:16]
  • Hilarious call referencing a 1974 article about Dan as prep basketball star "Mr. Hot" — "The only way to stop you was with a gun. And the league kind of frowned upon that." (13:51) [Caller]
  • Lane Kiffin coaching rumors: proposal he’ll move to Florida, countered with the "pie to the face" bet.
  • The “light poo-pooing” of Jon Gruden rumors for both college and pro jobs.

FEATURE INTERVIEW: Reggie Miller

(Pre-recorded earlier AM; Nico Harrison firing had not yet been announced)

NBA Scoring, Shot Volume, & Toll on Players

• [27:28]–[30:06]
  • Reggie on high-volume games: "It's the most points I ever scored in a game. 57 versus Charlotte. And I believe I took 27 shots... I was literally exhausted after that game..." (Reggie Miller, 27:28)
  • On Cade Cunningham’s 45 FGA game: "People don’t understand the physical toll it takes to score at an elite level in the NBA... that easily could have been 50 field goal attempts." (28:52)
  • Reggie’s self-definition: "I was more on the efficiency side ... if I got up 18 shots, I thought that was pretty good." (27:28)

On Kobe’s 50-FGA Farewell:

• [29:42]–[30:10]
  • Admiration for Kobe’s last game: "If I'm going to go out. This is my last game. This is my target goal: 50 [shots]."

Injuries Decimating Teams:

• [30:10]–[31:30]
  • Pacers’ woes: “Look, it wasn’t going to be easy... When there’s a few parts missing in the Maserati, it’s like a Pinto." (30:20)

Joel Embiid’s Minutes and the Sixers’ Plan:

• [31:46]–[33:59]
  • Embiid debated his frustration with minutes restrictions. "The Sixers are in the situation damned if you do, damned if you don’t... I'd rather stay home and not play if you're going to keep me on this minutes restriction." (Reggie Miller, 31:46)
  • Reggie’s plan: “After All-Star break, increase [Embiid’s minutes] one to two per game, so by the end he’s up to 34, 35... I need him healthy in the end and he hasn’t shown he can do that.”

Jokić vs. Shaq — The Hypothetical Showdown

• [33:59]–[37:56]
  • Comparing rules eras: "Are we playing in today's rules or the ‘90s? … Shaq's favorite move, he got away with it… Today's game, he wouldn't."
  • Dan: "If you said let's play today's rules and I got Shaq at his peak and Joker at his peak, who you got?"
  • Reggie: "I think back dominates in any era. Let me start by saying that... Orlando Shaq would thrive. I still think the most dominant of Shaq, when he was in LA and much bigger, he would still have an effect on the game... But Joker, this boy is bad. I think he's already one of the top, what, four or five centers in my opinion." (34:53)
  • "[Shaq] always says Rick Smiths gave him fits. So if Rick Smiths… gave him fits, what would Joker do?" (36:50)
  • "Joker is a ... 3-time MVP with a chip. If he gets another title or two, then the conversation is really valid." (37:09)

Mavericks Dysfunction, Cooper Flagg, and the West

• [38:14]–[39:55]
  • Reggie: "They expected Cooper to have a Victor Wembanyama rookie season. And it's not been quite that. The injuries, Anthony Davis has been hurt, obviously. No Kyrie all season…"
  • On Anthony Davis: "AD looks pretty big. Have you seen him? He's a big man." (38:59)
  • "It's hard to judge until Jason Kidd can get them all together... But in the Western Conference, there's no time, you know, to figure it out...they're always going to be chanting fire Nico." (39:03)

Banter: Clay Thompson, Love, and Shooting Touch

• [40:00]–[41:08]
  • Dan speculates about Klay Thompson's shooting slump: “Maybe he's in love... Megan Thee Stallion?”
  • Reggie brags about his shooting: "That will be the last thing that will ever leave me. I can always shoot." (40:52)
  • Dan: “I am.” Reggie: “No, I’m not.”

Nobody. NBA on NBC and Peacock tonight in prime time coast to coast, it's the Celtics and the Sixers and then the Nuggets and the Kings. It all starts at 8 Eastern on NBC and Peacock. Speaking of which, Reggie Miller will join us coming up here in a little bit. We did speak to Reggie earlier this morning. He had meetings and I said, well, why don't you join us before the show and I can tape something because I did ask him about Nico Harrison, the GM of the Dallas Mavericks. And I said, hey, what did he do wrong? You know, yeah, they traded away Luca, but they got Cooper flag. And I thought everything's going to be good. Everybody comes back and they're going to be healthy. Stephen A. Smith said he had Dallas going to the NBA finals a couple of weeks ago. And I thought, okay, get Kyrie, Anthony Davis, Cooper flag. All right, slow start. Fans were chanting fire Nico. And they got their wish. Nico Harrison has been fired by the Dallas Mavericks. Yes, Paulie.

[Paulie]

Yeah. Forty minutes ago, Sham Charani of ESPN posted The Dallas Mavericks and owner Patrick Dumont are expected to fire a general manager, Nico Harrison at 10:00am Central Time.

[Dan Patrick]

So just now?

[Paulie]

Yep, right now.

[Dan Patrick]

Right now. Man, I thought he got a stay of execution because they, you know, fell into the Cooper flag pick. Yeah.

[Paulie]

Paul, how do you fire the GM for building the team with the Cooper flag pick? Because nothing went wrong since the now if you want to fire him based off the Luca, trade you. That window was a year ago. I Don't understand the timing.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I didn't think they gave him enough time because I got to have Kyrie Irving now. First of all, I don't want Cooper flag playing point. It's nice when I saw him, you know, in training camp, preseason, I mean, but that's on Jason Kidd. I don't want Cooper flag playing point. And. Yes. Has he struggled? Absolutely. He's playing like he's 18 years. Well, not really playing like he's 18. Probably playing like he's 20, but he's, you know, he's a rookie. Patience here. I mean, Kyrie's not coming back. AD looks like he's out of shape. Is that on the GM Now? I would have fired him over the Luca trade for what he didn't get in return because I don't want Anthony Davis. I just. I don't. He's injury prone. He's out now. I would have. I. I would have gotten a better offer, it feels like. But you're going to fire him. I would have given a little bit more time to see if this lineup is actually going to be formidable. But out in the West. Yeah, I mean, you got to hold on for dear life because you got a lot of really good teams there. Yes, Marvin.

[Todd Fuhrman]

And it doesn't help that the Lakers are playing really well. So it makes. It makes it look even worse.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. And Lucas in shape and playing well and. Yes, but I would have fired him over the Luca trademark. Yes.

[Paulie]

Paulie, I can remember the day after the Luca trade, you said something that stuck with me. What if Luca gets in shape and you let a generational. A true generational European player leave?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. And that's what happened. You. You just can't. You know, when he's trying to tell me the defense wins championships. Okay, how about other guys play defense? He's going to play offense. Okay. I mean, we get caught up in that, man. You got to play. And I. I understand defense. I understand it. Golden State's defense was underrated during their championship run. Nobody ever said Steph Curry could play defense. Nobody said Larry Bird can play defense. I mean, that's why you have guys who play defense. Robert Parish and Dennis Johnson played defense for the Celtics. Larry, you play offense. Steve Nash can't play defense. Steve, you play offense. We'll get some other guys who are going to play defense here. But we get caught up in that. And I was like, okay, I still like having Luca. If he's getting 30 a night and he's not in shape at some point, if he does get motivated look out. Yes, Todd.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Sports is a very rare form as far as getting fired. Most of the jobs, they call you in and you get the pink slip, they don't sign it for two and a half hours from now. So I just want to let you know, you're going to get fire fired at 1:30pm Eastern time. Always found that very interesting. Of all the world of jobs, sports is the only place where they're going to let you know that they're going to be announcing this in a few.

[Dan Patrick]

Hours from now, and they're going to let everybody know that you're getting fired. You know, it's out on social media. You know, if we would get fired at a job, nobody knows, you get caught, you know, called in and you, you're going to get fired. And it was never parting of the ways or we're going in a different direction. Back then when I was growing up, you got, you know, people got fired. It wasn't, you know, what, different philosophy, different game plan. We're going in a different direction now. Back then it was just like, yeah, we're gonna fire you. Okay. Yes, Dylan. Well, to Todd's point, it's like the whole world knows how much money you're making when and if you're gonna get fired. They get to, like, publicly comment on it. No surprises anymore. All right, so we'll talk to Reggie once again. We talked to him and recorded the interview prior to the show. And we did talk about Nico and. And the Mavs. Eagles over the Packers, 10, seven. And I'd like to say I got a good handle on both of these teams, but I do not. Philadelphia still is wonky and Green Bay. I keep waiting for them to be great and they might just be good. And then I'm looking at some of the games. Seattle against the Rams. You got Detroit, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Denver, Chargers, Jacksonville, Chicago, Minnesota, Tampa and Buffalo. This might be the best week we've had so far, but if this was college football, we would call it separation Saturday. But this is separation Sunday. It feels like with Detroit at Philadelphia, Kansas City at Denver, Seattle and the Rams. Man, that's good. And then you got Tampa at Buffalo. By the way, Thursday night you got the jets at New England. Alrighty. So been a quick two hours here. Covered a lot of ground. Talk, some NBA I'm watching last night. Victor Wembanyama went for 38 and 12 and five blocks. He had 80, 18 of his 38 in the fourth quarter. The Bulls as a team scored 19 points in the fourth quarter. How about the Cavs attempting 65, three pointers? That's the most since 2019. They took 120 shots in an overtime loss to the Heat. And then you had Cade Cunningham. He put up 45 shots. He was 14 of 45. So he missed 31 shots. That hasn't happened since 1967. Brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the Dan Patrick show. I think Wilt was 36 for 63 when he scored 100 points. And he was. He was 20. He made 28 free throws to score 100. I don't know if anybody's had more attempts than Wilt did in a game. I. I think it was 63 field goal attempts that he had. That was 19. What? 62. Yeah. Paulie.

[Paulie]

Yeah. He was 36 of 63.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. And I'm going to guess most of those shots were from five feet in. Yes. Marvin.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yeah. Kate Cunningham. His green light. It's fluorescent. It is fluorescent green.

[Dan Patrick]

46.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Hey, pass the ball. Kobe. My goodness. He is up there with Mike, Kobe and Will.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes.

[Paulie]

Paul, who is the Only other active NBA player who's taken 45 or more shots in a game lightly surprising.

[Dan Patrick]

Anthony Davis.

[Paulie]

No.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Paulie]

This guy's the focal point of his team's offense, especially in the playoffs. East coast guy.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Trey young.

[Paulie]

Jalen Brunson. 47 shots for the Knicks two years ago.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, so Will had the most shots in a game. 63.

[Paulie]

Yes. I've got modern era from basically 80 on.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, Kobe, Kobe.

[Paulie]

Kobe's your leader. He. He is taking. Taking 45 or more shots in a game four times. Nobody else has done it twice. Including Michael Jordan took 49. Jalen Brunson took 47. Chris Weber, you'll win a bet with that 47.

[Dan Patrick]

Gunner.

[Paulie]

Gunner. Kobe Bryant had a 50 shot game. A 47, a 46 and a 45. And a bunch in the 40s.

[Dan Patrick]

It takes a lot of energy to put up that many, squeeze off that many shots there. Gary in Ohio. Hi, Gary. Hello, Gary.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

Welcome to the show.

[Caller]

Looking at an article from January 9, 1974 that says pew and spade. Spades and pew. Mr. Inside, Mr. Outside has a picture of you, Dan Pugh in a Mason uniform, number 24.

[Dan Patrick]

Yep. What's it say in there?

[Caller]

It says you were flashy, you were Mr. Hot. When you were on, the only way to stop you was with a gun. And the league kind of frowned upon that.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, it was Mr. Mr. Outside, but yeah. Thank you, Gary. Yeah, I like that. The. The league frowned upon that. The Only way to stop me was with a gun. But the league frowned upon that. That's good. They frowned upon it. Yes. And by the way, I don't think anybody was trying to use a gun against me. I don't blame them if they did, but I don't think anybody did that. Yes, Dylan. So that was the actual quote in the newspaper? Yes. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't really believe you before, but now I do. Why wouldn't you believe? I don't know, it sounded. I'm surprised they put that in the paper. Well, no, it was real. Well, yeah, now, now, Gary called in. Yeah, that. No, there's a newspaper clipping that came out yesterday. I'm a little disappointed that maybe you should stay in the back room and not be out here. I take it back. I was kidding and I'll give you a mulligan. Yes, Todd?

[Todd Fuhrman]

He thinks there was some shooters embellishment there. I think is what he's accusing.

[Dan Patrick]

No, there, there wasn't. Larry Bird tells this story. Larry Bird is getting ready to play in a game. I don't know the city, but coach Casey Jones comes up to Larry and says, hey, there's a death threat on you. And then Casey Jones says, larry Bird, I'm gonna leave it up to you. If you don't want to play, you know, then we'll, we'll go without you. If you want to go back in the locker room and wait till the end of the game, Solarios, I'm gonna play. So then Casey Jones says, hey, when I call the guys to huddle up, can you stand about 20ft away just in case somebody, you know, would be shooting towards the huddle?

[Todd Fuhrman]

Sensitive.

[Dan Patrick]

So Bird goes over in the huddle and puts his arm around Casey Jones. That's great. Great. All right, Couple of phone calls in here. How about Jack in Virginia? Hi, Jack, thanks for holding.

[Caller]

Morning, guys. How we doing?

[Dan Patrick]

Good, Jack.

[Caller]

Good, good. Hey, first time, long time here. Six one and a soft 175.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you.

[Caller]

Hey, quick shout out here to my father in law for introducing me to you guys several years ago. And shout out to my brother in law as well today on Veterans Day who served in the Marines. Love you guys. Hey, I've got to go back and I know relevancy is key in the business, but I've got to circle back here and talk about the pay it forward idea that you guys were discussing earlier this morning. Curious if you guys have seen the Tim Robinson skit from the show. I think you should leave where he Pulls up to the drive thru line. He starts this pay it forward line. He's acting all nice and he goes, you know, who knows, maybe this will catch on. He puts his order in and then he kind of curiously whips around the drive thru line to the end, hoping it catches on. He pulls back up to the line and he tries to order just an insane amount of food and then it all just kind of blows up from there. It's hilarious. You guys got to check it out maybe during a break if you can, but that's what I have for you.

[Dan Patrick]

So thank you, Jack. Thank you Jim in Michigan. Hi Jim. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Well, thank you again for taking my call. I've got a comment and some information regarding your proposed retirement. I'm. You're going to do a classy and I just want to say we'll have the memories if nothing else, however you play it out, it's your decision and I would wouldn't succumb to the pressure you're getting on all this. My other, my other information regarding the colors that are used on uniforms. I come from an industry that was involved with Emblematic, with collegiate sales and there are, there's a thing called HTML which is a special digital code which specifies any color you can think of, probably thousands of them which would pertain to the NFL and other teams also. But for collegiate settings, for emblematic wear, that kind of thing. So there is a, there is a system in place to identify the color with a name which would solve some of your discussions there as far as.

[Dan Patrick]

Well, the eagle's colors are terrible. So. Thank you, Jim. I get the green is too dark. It's, it's. You need a little bit of contrast there. That's my problem with it. Boogams in Tampa. Hey, Boogams Bogums. Daniel, how are you? Good.

[Caller]

I have a first, by the way. Six, three and a Miller lighted 280. First time, long time, very long time. I have a pie to the face for anybody that wants to take it. Due to some confidence. I have an upcoming coaching hire. I have Lane Kiffin, definitely going to Florida. Now. There's a lot of smoke around this. I know a lot of jobs out there. But Lane has very deep roots in Gainesville. His ex father in law, Gator legend, Gator hall of fame and look at the betting lines are all trending in the right direction right now. And I just feel very, very confident Lane's gonna stop off on Gainesville before he goes his next joint.

[Dan Patrick]

Anybody want a piece of boogams that Lane Kiffin goes to Florida. Paulie.

[Paulie]

Yeah, I'll take that one.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. Dylan. Yeah, I think he stays at Ole Miss. All right, you got a 2? 2 for here. Pie to the face.

[Caller]

That's great. Yeah, we got rid of sling blade and now we're moving on to beautiful lane. So.

[Dan Patrick]

All right. I mentioned this to Paul Lane Kiffin to the New York Giants coaching Jackson dart, maybe going back to the NFL after what happened when he was there the first time around.

[Paulie]

Yeah, Paulie, I poo pooed this when you text it last night I did a light poo pooing on it, but I've given it more thought. It's actually an interesting smart move. If you're tired of the college everything that is involved in college coaching, you can go to the Giants and if it doesn't work out, you get easily returned to the college almost of your choice in three to four years. All right, so there's no downside to it.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, Dylan. It is the Giants though. Yeah, they are conservative, but they've done a pretty poor job in hiring coaches. How about Jon Gruden?

[Paulie]

I'll pass on that.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, that's a hard pass on Gruden.

[Paulie]

His window is over.

[Dan Patrick]

How about Jon Gruden to Florida? Oh, you think Jon Gruden doesn't get another job?

[Paulie]

Not pro. I shouldn't say this on air. I would bet that the NFL would encourage their teams to not hire him. Off the record.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, okay. So you're poo pooing that.

[Paulie]

I'm totally poo pooing. It was a light poo pooing on.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

On the podcast Health Stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, I'm Dr. Priyanka Walley, a double physician.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

And I'm Hari Kondabolu, a comedian and someone who once googled do I have scurvy at 3am on health stuff, we're.

[Dan Patrick]

Talking about health in a different way.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also.

[Dan Patrick]

What our health says about us and the way we're living.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

Like our episode where we look at.

[Dan Patrick]

Diabetes in the United states. I mean, 50% of Americans are pre diabetic.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

How preventable is type 2?

[Dan Patrick]

Extremely. Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that like your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible. But like, you don't even know.

[Dan Patrick]

You don't know. You don't know. It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

Listen to health stuff on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Patrick]

Man, this is a mess down at LSU with Brian Kelly. Not that they could screw it up any more than they did, but they did. And Brian Kelly is. He's going all in for his $54 million and he's owed $54 million. It doesn't seem like he's going to play nice with lsu. Oh, my goodness. College rankings. The new rankings come out later on tonight. The colonel in Tampa. Hey, Colonel.

[Caller]

Hey, Dan.

[Dan Patrick]

Good morning. Good morning.

[Caller]

Listen, 11th, you know, 11th month, 11th day, 11th hour. You know, thank you so much for expressing your thoughts on this Veterans Day. You know, my father served. My father in law served. My son went to the Air Force Academy. I served a little bit and means a lot.

[Dan Patrick]

But.

[Caller]

But listen, hearing about your dad really meant a lot to me too. In Korea was a tough fight and you know, thank you, Dan, for your dad's service. And change the subject. I'll eat some crow. I know Seaton's not there today, but good win by the Patriots and at least your comfort.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Colonel. Thank you. We talked to Reggie Miller earlier this morning, so about three hours ago. And this was before the news that Nico Harrison has been fired as the GM of the Dallas Maverick. So you will hear me ask Reggie about the Mavs and Nico Harrison. He will be on the call tonight. It's coast to coast at 8 Eastern on NBC. And Peacock, it'll be Reggie with Mike Tirico, and they will have the game. I opened up the interview with Reggie and I talked about cade Cunningham with 46 shots and. But it came in a win. And I asked him the most shots that he ever took in a game in his career.

[Todd Fuhrman]

It's the most points I ever scored in a game. 57 versus Charlotte. And I believe I took 27 shots. And I was literally exhausted after that game. But that was nothing. When you look at like mj, Kobe, Carmelo, those volume scores, they put up a lot of attempts. I. I was more on the efficiency side. I tried. I, I think during the course of a game, if I got up 18 shots, I thought that was pretty good because a lot of. Few of those were threes. I was getting to the free throw lines. That's how I got my, you know, 22 to 30 was just being a little bit more efficient.

[Dan Patrick]

I got you with 29 shots in that game.

[Todd Fuhrman]

29. Okay. 29 in that game. 29.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. 16. Yeah.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Exhausted.

[Dan Patrick]

That's what I tell people when I would see Iverson, as small as he is, but he had to put up at least 25 shots a game. That was. Their offense went through him. I don't know how. You know, Mike and Kobe, those guys who you knew they had to shoot, they knew they had to shoot and to put up those shots every single night. I mean, imagine if I said to you, you got to put up 29 shots a game.

[Todd Fuhrman]

No way. There's just no way. I mean, people don't understand the physical toll it takes to score at an elite level in the NBA. Now, granted. And think about this. He had 45 field goal attempts. Remember, He. Cade got fouled on a few shots, too. So that easily could have been like 50 field goal attempts that he was attempting. And this is coming off a game the night before. So think about the exhaustion that he's going through. He took a hard foul in that game. But at the end of the day, you highlighted this. They won the game in overtime, and what a game that was. I think they. They're up to seven games in a row now. It's one of those sneaky stories in the. In this Eastern Conference that really no one is talking about because they got off to such a slow start this season.

[Dan Patrick]

Kobe took 50 shots. That was his last game, I think, against the Jet50.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Wow. People understand.

[Dan Patrick]

At the end of his career, he's taken 50 against Achilles injury. Yes.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Last game of your. You know what. But that I can see. Because look, if I'm going to go out. This is my last game. This is my target goal.

[Richard Parks III / Podcast Hosts]

50.

[Todd Fuhrman]

I'm going for 50 field goals attempt.

[Dan Patrick]

By the way, what's wrong with your Pacers?

[Todd Fuhrman]

Tyrese Halliburton.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, but still, they had a lot of injuries. Okay.

[Todd Fuhrman]

It's been a, it's been a very, very difficult start to the season for Rick Carlisle and the Pacers. Look, it wasn't going to be easy. And you know, judging from that first game when Nem Harden went down versus the OKC 10, they've had a rash of injuries. And look, they are a team that when they're whole, they're great. When there's a few parts missing in, in the Maserati, it's like a Pinto.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, oh, Pinto.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Old school. That's old school. Remember those Pinto cars?

[Dan Patrick]

I do, I do. What's the worst car you ever drove? Oh.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Remember those? Suzuki's. Dodge Suzuki's. I believe it was Corey Gaines, my, my roommate at ucla. He, he let me drive his Dodge Suzuki occasionally.

[Dan Patrick]

Wait, that's what they were paying players at ucla?

[Todd Fuhrman]

They weren't paying. His parents were. They had a little bit of money, so he let me drive his dog Suzuki.

[Dan Patrick]

We're talking to Reggie Miller. He'll be on the call with Mike Tirico tonight. And it's the Celtics and the Sixers. Where is Joel Embiid now? Like is physically? Because I know they got one of the best backcourts, but Embiid is the key.

[Todd Fuhrman]

He's the key and he's still on a minutes restriction. I think they're hovering him around 25 or 26, and I think that's going to be the master plan going forward for this season. I think you've heard or you've seen a few comments him come that he's come out and said, look, I'd rather stay home and not play if you're going to keep me on this minutes restriction. I think the Sixers are in the situation damned if you do, damned if you don't. Because if you increase his minutes now and he gets hurt, everyone's going to jump up in arms and be like, well, we told you to put him on a minute restriction. And if he's on a miss restriction, you've got the player Embiid crying about playing more minutes. This is the safe approach because Dan, you know this. He's injury prone, right? And you want to have the, the most healthiest version of Joel Embiid come April and May because we, we haven't seen that over the last several seasons. Heck, we haven't even seen Paul George this year.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Todd Fuhrman]

So we don't know what versions of the Sixers we're going to see. You just mentioned this. They do have one of the best basketball back courts. In fact, they're leading all back courts in scoring between Edgecomb and Maxi. So I know what I'm getting there. But you're right, if, if indeed is healthy. And to me, this is what the approach I would take if I'm Nick Nurse and I am the the staff of the Sixers, once the All Star breaks, I would take this approach all the way up to the All Star break. Once the All Star break goes every game after that it increases one to two minutes. So by the time, because you only play about 25 to 30 games after the All Star break, I would increase his, his usage one to two minutes every game. And by the end of the regular season, he's up to 34, 35, which that, that's kind of what you would want. And then you would hope he's in good enough shape come playoff time when the level goes through the roof that he's ready to go. But I need him healthy in the end and he hasn't shown that he can do that. So keep him on the minutes restriction.

[Dan Patrick]

Jeff Teague on his podcast got into a discussion about Joker versus Shaq. How, how would they do against each other? They were talking about Shaq in Orlando would dominate Joker, but Joker with Shaq after that, Joker, you know, because he's inside, outside that he would probably drive Shaq crazy.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Okay, let me first start saying, are we playing in today's rules or replaying the Shaq's rules in the 90s? Like which one do we get to do? Does Shaq get to get it in the post and turn? And you know, this was Shaq's favorite move and he got away with it. Today's game, he wouldn't be able to get away with that. So which rules are we playing with?

[Dan Patrick]

Okay, if you said let's play today's rules and I got Shaq at his peak and Joker at his peak, who.

[Todd Fuhrman]

You got, I think back dominates in any era. Let me start by saying that. Okay, so it wouldn't matter. I just think they would put Shaq in a gazillion pick and rolls in today's game and get him out of the paint. Shaq would have to cover more paint. Now, I do agree. Orlando Shaq, who was nimble and skinnier and could run all day, I think he would thrive. I still think the most dominant of Shaq when he was in LA and much bigger, he would still have an effect on the game. How would he do versus Joker? I mean, now I would love to. Oh, I would love to see. I'm still going with big fella. Look, Shaq, he done, he denied me on a lot of occasions. I never got a chance to obviously play against the Joker, but the Joker, this boy is bad. I think he's already one of the top, what, four or five centers in my opinion. Kareem, Shaq, I mean, you could throw Wilt in there, Moses Malone. Now are we considering Hakeem a center? Because to me, if I was doing an all time team, Hakeem would be my power forward.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. I have to put him at center. Okay.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yeah. So you know, Joker's in that conversation, no question.

[Dan Patrick]

But you would take Shaq over him, Akeem over him?

[Todd Fuhrman]

I would take Shaq. I'm taking Careem. Then you got to start thinking where Joker falls in.

[Dan Patrick]

Joker makes it look easy.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

And he could have played back in the 90s because he's a big guy and you know, he would take you to the. See, Shaq never would guard Joker. They wouldn't let Shaq guard Joker.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Here's my argument why I love the Joker, because every time I see big fella Shaq, he's always, he always says Rick Smith gave him fits. So if Rick Smith at 74 gave him fits.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Then what would Joker do? Oh, don't you think?

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yes.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Right. So if he's telling me always, oh my God, Rick Smith, he, I, I just had no answer for him. So if he's saying that about Rick and Rick was unbelievable. Don't get me wrong. Love me, Rick. But what would Joker do? Do to him then if that was the case? You know, Shaq gets kind of caught up at times in his feelings because, you know, he gets caught in his feelings at times because look, Joker is a 2, 2, 3 time MVP. 2 time, 3 time, 3 time MVP. He's wanted, Chip. See the only thing that's missing now from his resume, another title. If he gets another title or two, then the conversation is really valid. Really valid. Because we know Shaq has four.

[Dan Patrick]

So is Shaq trying to state his case like a preemptive. Hey, before you put Joker ahead of me, don't forget what I did.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Exactly.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay.

[Todd Fuhrman]

But we'll never forget Shaq. I will certainly never forget Shaq and what he did to my beloved Pacers.

[Dan Patrick]

The Maverick situation. Now they're they're chanting, fire Nico. Why can't they be patient there in Dallas that you do have guys that are injured coming back, but now you want Nico, you wanted him out. Then you win the lottery, you get Cooper flag, and everything's great. And now you're not playing well. And now they want to fire the gm.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Well, because they expected Cooper to have a Victor Wimanyama rookie season. And it's not been. It hasn't been quite that. The injuries. Anthony Davis has been hurt, obviously. No Kyrie all season. It's going to be hard to judge this team until Kyrie and Ad get back.

[Dan Patrick]

AD Looks pretty big. Have you seen him?

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yes, he does.

[Dan Patrick]

He's a big man.

[Todd Fuhrman]

What's going on in Dallas? Because that's what they used to say about Luca.

[Dan Patrick]

Right? Yeah. Imagine how much you would have weighed if you played in Dallas.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Good Lord. Is that Texas barbecue really that good?

[Dan Patrick]

He would have been Rick Mahorn, you know. Yeah.

[Todd Fuhrman]

I mean, Clay is struggling shooting the basketball. So look, this team is hard to judge until Jason Kidd can get them all together and they start playing. But the problem with that is you're in the Western Conference. There's no time, you know, to figure it out. You've got to hit the ground rolling in the Western Conference. So look, you know, they're always going to be chanting fire Nico. They were doing that last season. And then you look at Luca and what the Lakers are doing. So of course, you know, that kind of adds a little bit of feel.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, definitely. Maybe Clay's in love. Maybe that's what.

[Todd Fuhrman]

There's nothing wrong with being in love.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I know. But maybe it's affected his game, you know? Who's he going out with? Nicki Minaj? Is that who he's gonna.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Oh, Megan Thee. Stallion.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, I'm sorry. There you go. Come on.

[Caller]

Come on.

[Dan Patrick]

You should know this Megan V. Is it T? H E E?

[iHeart Podcast Announcer]

Yes.

[Todd Fuhrman]

E E. The Stallion.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. Megan Thee, Stallion.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yes. She's a lovely, lovely girl from what.

[Dan Patrick]

I understand in here, of course. And.

[Todd Fuhrman]

And we all love Clay. I love me some Clay Thompson. He'll turn it around. Shoot or shoot.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, by the way, I saw the video where you were shooting a couple. Was that a couple of days ago? Where.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yes, it was.

[Dan Patrick]

It was like six.

[Todd Fuhrman]

People think, I'm. I'm looking for a ten day.

[Dan Patrick]

No, I am.

[Todd Fuhrman]

No, I'm not.

[Dan Patrick]

That was impressive. That was.

[Todd Fuhrman]

I just wanted the people to understand that. And you and I talk about this all the time. That will be the last thing that will ever leave me. I can always shoot. So someone's going to tell me to shoot. Come on man, I can do that all day. That's easy.

[Dan Patrick]

Have fun tonight. Tell Mike Tirico we said hello.

[Todd Fuhrman]

We love some Michael Tirico. See you Buddha.

[Dan Patrick]

You didn't even need a knife for that. Like butter. It was. It truly was. And you can take advantage of this. You can go to heartlandsteakco.com got some specials and discounts by listening to the program. Alrighty. Paul in Washington. Paul, what do you have for me today?

[Caller]

Good morning, Dan. I have the day off for Veterans Day and I'm a U.S. army veteran. Thank you for your support of the veterans over the years. Before I forget, 6 foot 199. I have to thank my friend Denise in Alaska for turning around to your show. And I listened to Kevin Harland and Ross Tucker on Monday Night Football, the radio broadcast last night because I didn't want to pay $5 to watch ESPN for one night and Ross was very entertaining. And after listening to Ross for a whole game, I have to say Todd's Kevin Harlan impersonation is much more of a Marv Albert impersonation in my opinion.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Okay, there is a little more Valbert in there.

[Dan Patrick]

That's fair. Nothing wrong with that. Combine the two. Thank you, Paul. And my thanks to Ross Tucker who filled in for me on Friday. Dave in Colorado. Hi, Dave. What's on your mind today?

[Caller]

Hey, Dan. First time, long time listener formerly known as five, eleven and a half. Hey, I know it's a day late, but my best of the weekend was Fritz. He walking around in the back and his Mark Davis outfit. Trying to figure out a way to get him to wear that on the flight out to Vegas. If there's some kind of bet I can do like maybe how many and over under on how many times he disappoints you.

[Dan Patrick]

Oh, well, I don't want to get. We don't want to get to double digits.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Nice.

[Dan Patrick]

Maybe, maybe Kansas City and Denver. Maybe a bet on that that you have to wear your Mark Davis wig on the floor.

[Todd Fuhrman]

We're bringing it back a second time. Well, one embarrassment isn't enough.

[Dan Patrick]

Three hours, Kansas City at Denver. How about just straight up?

[Todd Fuhrman]

What's the bet? I either have to wear a wig again or not. That's the. What happens on the other end of that?

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know.

[Todd Fuhrman]

We have to flush that out a little bit. It's only Tuesday.

[Dan Patrick]

Okay. All right, I'll try to come up with something. But if the Broncos lose at home to the Chiefs, I can't have you dress up as anybody else because that means you've you lose no matter what.

[Todd Fuhrman]

What is the point spread?

[Dan Patrick]

No, no, no. It doesn't matter. There's no straight up. It's Denver at home against the Chiefs.

[Todd Fuhrman]

We'll find out a lot about the Broncos and the Chiefs on Sunday.

[Dan Patrick]

Yes, we will. Anthony in Minnesota. Hi, Anthony.

[Caller]

Hey, dad. Hey, Something Ty could dress up as there. You can make him dress up as Mahomes for a day and he has to talk like Mahomes for a day. But the original thing I was going to call you for again. Happy Veterans Day to everyone. A good idea for your before your retirement. I think it'd be really interesting to have each Dan that host for one day and then you could hang out in their chair and just watch them kind of fumble through. Especially probably Todd. And then one thing for Dylan and then I'm done. Dylan, if you're really looking into gambling and stuff, should really look into options trading. It's a lot more educated and you can actually make a lot more money, I'd like to say, but it's kind of all I got for you guys. Happy Veterans Day to everybody out there.

[Dan Patrick]

All right, well, thank you. How about some options trading? Dylan, are you. I am fully in the weeds with options trading as well, Dan. So if it's a version of gambling, I've discovered it. Well, I've done all right, though and gotten hosed too in gambling without, well, options. Oh, yeah, but gambling, you haven't done very well gambling. I've done this year, not so much, but I've done okay. Obviously I'm a losing gambler like everyone. Anyone who says they're not is lying. Yeah, there's varying degrees of losing gambler.

[Paulie]

Yes.

[Dan Patrick]

NBA MVP odds. According to DraftKings, it's SGA. Then it's Joker, Luca Giannis, Victor and Cade Cunningham. Also in the mix there. This day in sports history.

[Paulie]

Paul, I got a few for you. This was a great one. 1981, Fernando Valenzuela of the Dodgers. First pitcher to win Rookie of the Year and Cy Young in the same season. What a phenomenon that was.

[Dan Patrick]

Would have been awkward if he won the Cy Young but not the Rookie of the Year, don't you think?

[Paulie]

Unfair.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah.

[Paulie]

The 81 Minnesota North Stars scored eight goals in a period against the Winnipeg Jets. I always miss the old North Stars. Great logo. Derek Thomas, 1990 of the Chiefs set the NFL record with seven sacks in a game against the Seahawks.

[Dan Patrick]

Never watching that.

[Paulie]

Dominant 1997, Roger Clemens, third major league player to win the Cy Young four times. Barry Bonds in O2. First major league player to win the.

[Dan Patrick]

MVP five times on this date in 2004, the shortest player in NBA history to score 30 points happened. Who is the shortest player to score 30 or more points? 2004. Marvin, I'm going to start with you.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Earl Boykins.

[Dan Patrick]

How about that? All right. That wasn't much of a game. Earl scored 32 point. He was five feet five. Five feet five. I think he's still five foot five. Think so?

[Paulie]

Yeah.

[Dan Patrick]

I don't know. He might be five foot four. I mean, I lost inch. Inch and a half. Yes.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Todd, what were Mugsy Bugs and Spud Webb's Heights?

[Dan Patrick]

Spud web was 5 7, Mugsy was 5 3. But Mugsy obviously didn't get to 30 points.

[Todd Fuhrman]

I was just curious.

[Dan Patrick]

Thank you, Todd.

[Paulie]

Earl Boykins played 13 years.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Yeah. Damn.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah. Yeah. At five five.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Dang.

[Dan Patrick]

That's where you have him and Victor Wembanyama standing next to each other.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Don't do that. That's like Kevin Hart next to Shaq.

[Dan Patrick]

That's true. Kevin Hart. He doesn't look short until you stand next to him and you go, he is short. Let's see. Let's go around the room. Did we learn anything today? Todd, I'll start with you. What'd you learn?

[Todd Fuhrman]

I think we did learn a few things. Chase Daniel feels Jackson Dart needs to be willing to slide more in order to avoid injury.

[Dan Patrick]

Yeah, I can't put all of it on Brian D. Now. Did he get him out of the blue tent too soon or maybe we didn't really call them concussions. I don't know that. But that's not enough to fire him. Dylan, what'd you learn? The only way to stop you is with a gun. And league rules frowned upon that.

[Todd Fuhrman]

Marvin, when it comes to stakes, you're a stripper.

[Paulie]

Oh, Steak Tuesday, question mark.

[Dan Patrick]

My thanks to Reggie Miller and Chase Daniel and you. Thank you for watching. Thank you for listening. Maybe you're doing both. Our pleasure to serve you for Fritzi, Dylan, Marv, Paulie, yours truly. Have a great day.
