Dan Patrick: Luka Doncic’s Late-Game Behavior Was Embarrassing | 6/13/24

Celtics had a uh well they survived a 22-2 Dallas run in the fourth quarter hung on to win and they’re now Up 3 in this series last night you did get both uh you know he got a couple of punches right in the nose Jason tayen with 31 Jaylen brown with 30 and the Celtics now 28-2 all time when 3-0 in the postseason which really doesn’t mean anything because Larry Bird and Bill Russell aren’t on this team so it’s just this team they need a Championship when they get that championship and it’s going to be one of the more incredible runs that we’ve had in recent history in the NBA because if they win on Friday night they’re going to end up 80 and 20 with regular season and the postseason Jaylen brown right now is the favor to win the finals MVP one person who’s not going to win it is Luca coming into the finals people are ready to you know take the crown from Joker and give it to Luca uh Luka is even if he won the title is not the best player in the world it’s still Joker Luca helped get them there but he’s part of the problem while they’re there because last night inexcusable to foul out of a game where it’s a two-point game back-to-back fouls you’re on the perimeter trying to take a charge what are you doing you’re too valuable to be in a situation like that Kyrie came through but you saw the depth of Boston Boston is just a better team plain and simple and you needed a her culan effort every night from Luca and Kyrie had to have that and then you were hoping they had a third option who was going to fill in the blanks the gray area Boston has that there was a moment where all five guys did something late in the game where you had five straight possessions guys did something whether it was offense or defense it was a total team effort and that’s why they’re going to win this Championship now Luca the petulant Behavior late in the game uh is embarrassing but you know somebody has to be able to say to him you can’t complain about every call you’re not going to get every call and also it’s not like you’re going to Curry favor with an official who’s going to go yeah all right I’ll give you a couple of calls if anything I mean they’re human at some point you tune him out you go stop now are they 50/50 calls okay he put himself in a position that it would be difficult to give him those calls I don’t care you’re at home and you’re a superstar and remember people were talking about Luca’s defense going into the postseason during the postseason I go okay he’s trying to play defense he can’t play defense he’s like Steph Steph tries he’s not stopping anybody but Luca last night you have a comeback you got a chance you’ve had you know game two you guys had a chance like you’ve had your moments here it hasn’t it might be a sweep but it hasn’t been boy they’re just you know blowing them out they stayed in the game they had a chance there Boston their players did what you want great players to do Kyrie goes for 35 in the loss if you include the regular season and the playoffs he’s now lost 13 consecutive games to [Music] Boston ow St of the day St of the day St of the day St of the day this is the St of the day stat of the day brought to you by Panini America the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show a little bit later on we’ll uh bring back or well we were going to have ice cube on yesterday but when Jerry West passed away we decided that we would wait till today so Ice Cube a little bit later on Rich learner of Golf Channel the US Open is underway at Pinehurst number two Andre Iguodala won four titles Finals MVP will join us a little bit later on as well to recap what we saw last night here is Luca donic meeting with the media after the game Luca what did you think of the whistles that went against you in the fourth quarter I mean I don’t know we couldn’t play physical so uh I don’t know I don’t want to say nothing but you know six fall and they NBA Finals uh where I basically I’m like this uh come on man better than that no no no that’s on you you put yourself in a position where it’s a judgment call it wasn’t cut and dried like oh my god of course they’re going to give him that call oh he’s at home it’s the NBA final like you if he’s thinking that way he is delusional you’re out on the perimeter and you’re putting yourself in a position where you don’t have a healthy knee you got a chest contusion you don’t have mobility and Jason Tatum is going to beat you off the dribble like you got to be smarter than that great player we can all agree on that petulant Behavior it’s embarrassing and and people probably watching now are going man he complains a lot we brought it up a couple years ago you got to stop you know I get it you know we think that’s what great players are supposed to do you’re supposed to get every call but you don’t and complaining I would take the re you know the uh reverse effect the opposite effect I would you know I’d go hey how about you be nice to the official hey yeah my bad you got me even raise your hand like we did in high school when you you know got a foul called yep number 24 yeah you got me I mean what are you doing you can’t you can’t put yourself in a position like that and you’re so value you’re the one guy that the team can’t lose in that moment can’t lose you you went on a nice run you made Boston nervous and then all of a sudden you gave him a bailout there so uh series could end coming up on Friday night you start to look at the uh one loss percentages and the number of games that the Celtics so this would be their they’re going to get their 80th win the question is is it 80 and 20 80 and 21 with a win on Friday the Celtics tie the 87 Lakers for the 11th best combined regular season and playoff record of all time now number one on the list uh by a lot the 9596 Chicago Bulls Michel oh Michael he’s the best ever then Golden State in 2016 so the Bulls were 87 and 13 I don’t remember a loss that season i’ like to double that 13 number Jordan didn’t miss a shot right they did not lose a game uh golden state was 83 and 16 Lakers in 7172 with Jerry West 81 and 16 then you got the Bulls again 96 97 84 and 177 uh yes Marvin that 96 season I’m sure they lost to like the Grizzlies or the Raptors it’s going to be one of those they partied hard in Canada one night God yeah uh yeah so you got teams you know some obviously great teams uh Golden State won 88 games I think that’s the most games that a team has ever won combined regular season postseason they uh in in 2015 the warriors were 88 and 18 dang it’s impressive no ring though nope no ring all right uh what’s po question we’re going to go with today T if you a Celtics fan that has tickets for game five at home at T Gard swep or you get to be there in person for game five I’d want the Celtics to sweep the Mavs or lose game four to set up a possible clinching game five at home all right we’ll save that one for uh after the commercial break what else do you have also staying with the NBA will the Celtics finish the sweep of the Mavs in Dallas tomorrow night without a doubt this series is over Mavs will win game four and send it back to Boston all right what else do you have Luca donit needs to play better defense not foul out in an NBA Finals game stop whining to the officials win an NBA title all over the above yeah it is all the above but I mean there’s so much recency bias with Joker out oh Luca can be the best player I said no he’s not the best player in the world he might win a title and he’s not the best player in the world it’s still Joker but with Tatum and brown whoever’s going to be the MVP here I don’t think they care uh they both have Max cont tracks and finally winning that championship this would be such a great story if this was the first year that they were in the finals playing for a title because then we would say the following how many titles do you think they can win now we’ve gotten to the point is they’re there they finally won a title now we don’t say anything after that they won their title now we might they’ll be the big favorites certainly in the East well in the NBA next year to win the title again but they’ve won their title or at least in rout to their title now it feels like they can exhale and we can move on to well when’s embiid going to win a title or is Luca going to win a title does Luca have to win a title to be one of the great you know we’re going to do all of these things that’s what we do
