Yeah, there's that lack of urgency no matter how you put it.

Yeah, I mean, that's in everything in life and sports.

From the time you were doing school projects that were due the night before to trying to find a Christmas or birthday present for your girlfriend when you're a younger man.

Yeah.

You work under pressure.

Sometimes when you have all the time in the world, you feel like you've got to cushion, even if it's deep down inside, subconsciously.

You're just not putting it all out there, and I feel like that was what you saw yesterday.

That's exactly what happened.

There was urgency with the Spurs.

You've got to win game four at home, tie this bad boy up, make it a best of three now versus down 3-1 to the defending champs.

You would have been done.

Spurs look good.

They look solid yesterday.

I mean, they look fantastic.

But I think there's a narrative that is interesting because the NBA ratings are up.

We all have to say, yo, a la Fonzie on happy days.

I was wrong.

No, no, you have to say that.

all i think we were all a little wrong because we were like yo this regular season we talked about how the nba was stinking like abe lincoln and he probably stank it was yeah rich let's back up we were filling in right here on the dan patrick show and it was during football season and there was a story out about how do you fix the nba remember and i told you live on this show i said everyone's gonna forget about this once we get to the playoffs

And there's never a truer thing that's been said, Danny, truthfully, because the minute the NBA playoffs started, I compared it last time to vacation love.
