You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Hour one on this Wednesday. Dan and the Danettes. Dan Patrick Show. Come on in. Stay a while. Tim Legler from the Mothership will stop by. Dave McMenamin, whose job at ESPN is covering the Lakers. Covering LeBron. Something the Thunder did last night. Not that well. He played pretty well. But this is one of those...
If they get a game, that might be a big accomplishment here. So I'm watching, and I'm looking at the point spreads. They're 15.5-point underdogs on Thursday in Game 2. The 76ers are 6.5-point underdogs tonight against the Knicks. Timberwolves are 9.5-point underdogs against the Spurs. Stat of the Day is always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
For my birthday, a week from this Friday, Rec Tech is giving away a grill. You can go to rectech.com. Search the Dan Patrick Show for details. We will give that grill away. By the way... One of the grills is fired up today because we're making pizza. We got the pizza insert. So I said to Dylan, how about a pizza Wednesday? And he went out and got some dough, some ingredients.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of James Harden's performance?
So in between, like, commercial breaks, he's out there whipping up some pizzas. So we have hot honey supressata. Is that salami? Yeah, basically. Okay. Pepperoni and onion. It's salami spicy, brother. pesto, arugula, prosciutto, and sausage and rigotte. How did I do? You kind of nailed that, actually. All right. After the initial sopressata hump, you got the rest. You killed the rest.
I thought you were saying we were having hot honey super salad, and I go, why are we having super salad? And then you go, no, it's pronounced differently. Although salad pizza done well is pretty. No. Greek salad pizza? No. No. And no pineapple on there. No. No. I'm out on that. But salad pizza? Yeah. Who has it better than we do? Nobody. All righty. Trouble sleeping?
Chapter 4: What strange demands do celebrities make in their green rooms?
Introducing Z Kleiner. Or you could listen to the Toddcast. Revolutionary recliner designed by Flex D. I heard you.

Z Kleiner, engineered with restful sleep in mind, making it an ideal bed alternative. A healthy life starts with a healthy night's sleep. Visit ZKleiner.com slash Dan Patrick today to find a Z Kleiner near you.
Got a play of the day, poll question, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. Pistons handled the Cavaliers. Thunder over the Lakers. I'll start with the Lakers and the Thunder because you had Shea Gilgis-Alexander held under 20 points. He had seven turnovers. Okay, now we have a recipe for maybe we can steal one here. You've got OKC's second best player, Jalen Williams, who is not playing.
And maybe you get some magic here. Austin Reeves didn't play well. LeBron played well. They still miss Luka. It's hard to threaten OKC without Luka out there. And LeBron even lamented that, that, hey, we got a guy who scores 30 points who's not out there. Luke Kennard's a nice role player. They just don't have the weapons. And OKC is deep.

Chapter 5: Why do some celebrities request food just for the smell?
They got guys who are coming off the bench, might be the 10th or 11th guy on their bench. They might be the 5th or 6th player for another team. But they're very deep, and they showed it last night. They kind of went through the motions. This is one of those where SGA didn't play well, LeBron played well, and you still lose by 20. That's the scary part of this.
But do I think they can win a game here? Yes, I do. Maybe two. I don't think they'll be swept. Yes, Marv.
The Thunder last night, they kind of look like the Steph Curry Spurs, I mean Spurs, Warriors in their prime, where it's like, man, we're trying to hold them off as long as we can. And what if we take the ball out of Steph Curry's hands? But guess what? Klay Thompson goes off. Leandro Barbosa goes off. Andre Iguodala goes off. That's how deep this Thunder team is. You don't know.
Jared McCain, who's the ninth or tenth guy, came off and hit four three-pointers for them last night.
I know. It's one of those where you go, wait, who's this guy? Who's that guy? Former Sixer. Yeah, and then you're going, okay, that's where I saw him. Yeah, okay. Yeah, Paul.
There was a point in the third quarter where it felt like the Lakers could cut it to four, and there was a replay that went against them, and then instantly it was 11, and it felt like that was their shot, and they were in striking distance, and it never got closer.

Chapter 6: What are the most high-maintenance celebrity requests?
He'll take your phone calls, and we'll come up with a poll question. We've got a play of the day. Stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock or NBC Sports Network. Dylan, what's the poll question for the first hour of the program? All right, we got a couple, Dan. This one's from Paulie.
Which underdog would you have advancing? The Cavaliers, 76ers, Lakers, or Timberwolves? All dogs in their respective series. Well, I don't know why Minnesota doesn't get more love, more verbal bouquets. They've been to the Western Conference Finals back-to-back years. So it's not a fluke that they're here.
And it's not a fluke that they won game one against San Antonio because the Spurs have minimal playoff experience. You got Rudy Gobert. You got Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle. They do have experience here. And that's what's kind of surprising. It's... You would think San Antonio would be the underdog, even though they had a better record. They had a better regular season.
But the fact that maybe it's just, you say, Timberwolves, and maybe that doesn't strike fear, but they've gone to the Western Conference Finals back-to-back years. So I would say them. You know, the Cleveland-Detroit series, that could be a seven-game series, although James Harden looked old last night. Well, he is old, but he looked older. And for some reason, they had him bringing the ball up.
And Osar Thompson was guarding him. And he was all over James Harden. And this is what I don't understand. How about you let somebody else bring the ball up?

Chapter 7: How do celebrity demands reflect their personalities?
Because I don't want James Harden expending all that energy just getting the ball to half court. It's seven turnovers, and he looked old. And Detroit, you know, that was a great all-around team performance. But Cade Cunningham, you know, he's kind of the right-handed version of Jalen Brunson, it feels like. Like he's just coming after you. He's going to continue to score.
I mean, they're different players. But because Cunningham was leading the NBA in assists before he got hurt. But to see him, this is what I love. You see great players be great at this time of the year. Because that's really, we focus on that. Bottom line, Sports Society, what did you do in the playoffs? What did you do, you know, winning a championship, not winning a championship?
The year you won your MVP, those are the kind of things. Anthony Edwards, we didn't know if he was going to play or when he was going to play. Off the bench, 18 points. You love seeing that. Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson, what he did. Like, that's what you want. You know, SGA will be great in this series, but... It was almost one of those where he thought, eh, don't need to tonight. Yes, Marvin.
And in the playoffs, Shaq usually calls them the others. You got those guys like Duncan Robinson, our boy from the Heat. He had a big game last night. You're always going to need that, man, he's still in the league, or who is that guy that comes up big in the playoff series?
The Cavs tied the game. They came back from, what were they down, 18 or something? And so five minutes to go. Cade Cunningham comes back in the game, delivers three straight possessions with perfect passes for six points.

Chapter 8: What does this episode reveal about celebrity culture?
And, you know, they're starting to crumble a little bit. And then he comes back in and they go on cruise to the victory. All right. What other poll question are you thinking about here, Dillon? This is from Todd. LeBron blaming the loss on Luka's absence and lack of scoring is a very understandable and reasonable point or a bad sign... Excuses already after game one? Well...
I think he's reminding everybody of, you know, LeBron 10 years ago, you know, would be approaching this differently. Now he's 41. And he can't do it alone. And he's reminding people of, hey, if we have Luka, then maybe we can make this a series. Reminding them. And maybe Luka is going to be able to play. I mean, he... Factually, he's telling you the truth.
If they had Luka, they have a chance to win this series. They just don't have him. Maybe you get him when they go back to Los Angeles. Dave McMenamin, who will join us later on, he'll have an update on that, I'm sure. Yes, Marvin?
Wait, so the NBA scoring leader has an effect on a series?
That's crazy. I didn't look at it as LeBron needs an excuse. I think he was just reminding people of, we got to the second round. We weren't supposed to beat Houston. We got to the second round. I'm out here on an island just reminding you we don't have Luka. Now, I know there's going to be people who parse this and say, Michael Jordan never would have made an excuse like that.
Do you think that happens in LeBron's life? No matter what happens, like if he drops the mail when he's bringing in, Jordan never would have dropped the mail. He's not good at parallel parking. Well, Michael, pretty good at parallel parking. Yes, Pauline. I don't know if it's fair to say LeBron made up an excuse for the loss.
He was asked about the Lakers' offensive struggles last night, and he said, well, the offensive struggles, we have a guy who averaged 37 a game, 35 this year. What are you asking? And he was making the point that it's obvious what the struggles are.
It's not like they didn't actually play that bad offensively over the course of the game. They just don't have their main guy.
Yeah.
