Chapter 1: What are the latest updates from the NBA Playoffs?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast. Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fans, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes.
Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away, such as the biology of Tauntauns and Wampas on the ice planet Hoth, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith Rule of Two. Listen to Stuff to Blow Your Mind on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that. Trust your girlfriends. Listen to The Girlfriends, Trust Me Babe, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I got you, I got you. On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year.
It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Chapter 2: Was Draymond Green wrong in his comments about Steve Kerr?
That'll be a Friday. Chef Greg will be here to give away the grill. He'll come in and cook for my birthday. 877-3DP-SHOW. Email address dp at danpatrick.com. Twitter handle at dpshow. We say good morning if you're watching the show. Peacock and also NBC Sports Network. And we say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. Sometimes we'll watch a game and it'll be a bad game.
It'll be a blowout. And then you try to find something else. So I'm watching the Knicks and the Hawks last night. And actually I'm tuning in in the first quarter. And I usually, you know, I'm looking at the scores just to see, okay, you know, where are we? And then I go, wait a minute, that's not right. If it's 40 to 15, why can't, I'm not going to tune away from this.
It was a car accident that I kept driving by over and over and over and over and over. And I'm like, I want to see how bad this gets. And I watched far more than I thought I was going to. And I thought at one point, I think they were up 61 points. And I thought, gosh, how about we get up to 75? Can you beat them by 100? Atlanta wanted to play the Knicks.
Atlanta lost in a game against Miami at the end of the year. So they didn't face the Cleveland Cavaliers. So you wanted to face the Knicks. And, of course, we thought maybe the Hawks can pull off a surprise here. C.J. McCollum, he's the new villain. He's the new Trey Young. And then all of a sudden, Hawks acted like the Hawks, and the Knicks acted like the Knicks.
That was one of those games where it was one for the ages, as they like to say. And for the New York Knicks, everything they did, they did right. Atlanta, everything they did, they did wrong. The Knicks shot 36% from three-point range, out-rebounded Atlanta by 11, forced 16 steals, 35 fast-break points to Atlanta's eight, outscored Atlanta by 28 points in the paint. Their largest lead was 61.
I could... Oh!
This is...
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. I couldn't turn away. I kept watching because I thought, let's see how bad this can possibly get. And when you have a halftime deficit, the largest halftime deficit in NBA playoff history. Here was something I thought of during the game.
You probably didn't, but odd things come into my head when I'm watching sporting events. The number one overall pick for the Atlanta Hawks, Zachariah Richichet. Played three games in the postseason, averaging 3.7 points per game. Now, the reason why I bring that up is he was the number one overall pick.

Chapter 3: How might the Rockets perform without Kevin Durant?
Wait a minute. We got the number one pick. Wait, we didn't even get the right French guy. He missed out on Wemby. They also had the trade that allowed Luka to go to Dallas. They ended up with Trey Young, who's now in Washington. So I'm thinking, what happened to this guy? Now, it's Atlanta basketball, so nobody really cares.
If he was in a major market, then maybe we'd be looking at him and talking about how much of a bust he is. And it looks like, by all accounts, he's probably that. Did watch the Joker last night. That's embarrassing. they don't have their top three or four guards. And you guys put up a performance like that. Jamal Murray and Nicola Jokic were bad. Uh, Murray was bad. That's a game you got to win.
That was embarrassing. That was, um, and Minnesota, look, Minnesota and Denver has become a real rivalry. And I like that. I like that. There's a, you know, some fire there. Uh, Although the head coach of Minnesota, Chad Finch, said after the game, he was like, hey, they wanted us. Well, I don't think Denver, because they won, what, their last 11 games of the regular season, wanted Minnesota?
If you lost a game so you faced Minnesota, kind of like Atlanta did against Miami. Miami sat their starters. Atlanta lost that game so they wouldn't have to face the Cavaliers. Yes, Mark. Also, do we owe Rudy Gobert an apology of some sort? I do. I do. I'm with you because, look, we've been killing him. But you know what?
Two years ago, when the Timberwolves eliminated the Nuggets the first time, Rudy Gobert was playing like a Hall of Famer against Joker. He's the one guy that really makes him work, play in and play out for sure.
Yes, and I would say I think the problem I had with Rudy Gobert is he wasn't one of the top five players in basketball, but this is when we had positions for first team, second team, third team. So that's not his fault. I'm blaming the NBA for kind of putting him up on a platform that he doesn't belong. He's a good player. He's a good defensive player. And he did really well against Joker.
But then they got rid of the positions. Now we have positionless, and then he'll never make an all-NBA team, certainly first team. But he did play well in this series against Joker. And if this was LeBron, three-time MVP, winner of one NBA title, bowing out the way Joker did, we'd be crushing LeBron. Here is Joker after the loss, the elimination against Minnesota.
How far away or not far away do you feel like you guys are from being a championship?
I mean, we just lost in the first round, so I think we are far away. Definitely, if we are Serbia, we will all get fired.

Chapter 4: What impact did the Knicks have on the Hawks in the playoffs?
Because we're in that I don't know situation with Giannis, with Milwaukee. Denver is a title contending team, if it all goes right. Yes, Marv. You know, I spoke too soon when the Nuggets won their championship a couple of years ago. I thought he was in a dirt category where he was on scholarship for the rest of his career. Right.
But Dirk was never considered to be far and away the best player in the game. Jason Kidd on the show yesterday said Joker is going to end up as a top five player. But you can't be a top five player fair or unfairly judged. You can't have it with just one title. And I think we have to judge him that way.
If we're going to look at him as one of the top ten players of all time, then we have to treat him the way we did other players. And that is, are you producing? Are you winning? Are you saying, hey, they didn't have their backcourt. They didn't have their starting guards. And you're losing. No excuse. But I think you got it. He warrants criticism.
I don't think he's saying he doesn't warrant criticism. He didn't play well. But that's one of those. If you said, now, the 76ers against the Celtics, I said you just can't let them sort of figure this out. And Paul George, man, come on down. He looked awesome. Awesome.
And then, you know, you get Embiid in there, who now is kind of figuring out he's a seven-foot shooting guard who's just kind of dancing around the foul line. Maxie, Edge, I mean, they've got talent here. And if Boston doesn't hit threes, Boston is not going to beat you. And that happened again last night, and now you go to a game seven. Boston should not be in this situation. Yes, Mark.
The Sixers, they're looking like the team we thought they'd have. With a healthy Paul George and a healthy Joel Embiid and Edgecombe and Maxey, they look formidable. Philadelphia never trailed and now tied at three games apiece. They'll be in Boston on Saturday. I'm looking at the betting lines here for these upcoming games. Pistons are favored by 3.5 against Orlando.
I said yesterday I still think Detroit wins this series. Cavaliers minus 3.5 against the Raptors. The Lakers are getting 3.5 against the Rockets. On Saturday, the 76ers are 8.5-point underdogs against Boston. And Minnesota is a 14.5-point underdog against the Spurs on Monday. As far as your title odds, Thunder are still the big favorites. The Spurs were plus 500. Now they're plus 400.
Boston is third on the list. Then it drops down to the Cavs, the Knicks. and then the Lakers. The Knicks were plus 2,500 yesterday. After the win, they're plus 1,900. Dylan, what do you have for me for the first hour of the program? By the way, the first hour of the program brought to you by TireRack.com, the way tire buying should be. Ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection.
Convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, TireRack.com, the way tire buying should be. All right, what do you have for me first hour? We got a couple, Dan. This one's from Pauly. Would you rather lose by 50 or lose by one? I'd rather lose by one. I want to be competitive. I mean, I want to have a chance. You lose by 50.

Oh, hold on. Your dad's on the phone.

Chapter 6: How does Draymond's role affect the Warriors' playoff chances?
We'll pick our Kentucky Derby winner coming up. We know absolutely nothing about horse racing. Nothing. Now, I used to cover the Preakness and the Belmont, I think, three or four years in a row that I would go to those races when I was working in New York at CNN. When I was a reporter, I'd go to those.
And, of course, you're going in there, and there are certain sports where you know who knows that sport and who's just coming in. And I was one of those guys just coming in. Because terminology, you've got to make sure you get everything right. I remember talking to the legendary trainer, Woody Stevens. Oh, I think that I'm doing well. I'm kind of holding my own with him.
Horse racing, lexicon, language. We get done, and a PR person for the New York Racing Association came up and he goes, hey, next time, you made a couple mistakes here. You know, referring to, like, the Big A, Aqueduct. And I was saying that, like, oh, man, you know, out there, the Big A. Well, Woody Stevens wasn't out at the Big A. Like, just...
I was in over my head, and then I realized, you know what? Just talk about what you know, and then let people tell you what you need to know instead of me trying to act like, oh, yeah, you know, he comes out of the four hole. Then I find out that there was a horse who was blind in one eye. Okay? And his name was Patch. So they had a horse who ran in the derby.
And this was brought up on the gambling podcast yesterday. Sammy P., who joined us. Oh, by the way, controversy on the gambling podcast yesterday because Bad Larry quit. So it's Shea and Irving. It's Dylan. Big Day Ray produces it. Sammy P. came in. He's a professional gambler. And we have Bad Larry. Well, Bad Larry, well, this is how it sounded yesterday. DP takes a gamble. Bad Larry quit.
Why don't you take my place, Ray? Oh, hold on.
Hold on.
Pump the brakes there. Wait, did you just quit? I offered it to Ray last week. What? This is news to me. I'll take it. Sammy, take my spot, please. So bad Larry is retiring. Sammy, please take it the rest of the way. Now he's better than us, Danny. Wow. You think it was fun?
Wow.

Chapter 7: What does Austin Rivers think about the current playoff matchups?
Yes, yes, Todd.
Do we know? I don't know what kind of studies are shown. Do horses just run as fast as they can, or are they really aware of the other horses? Obviously, you don't want to step on another horse, but do they really understand?
How about we just stay in our lane here? This is a serious question. Do they understand that this is a competition and a lot of money is at stake, and I've got to beat these other horses? I've got to get there first. Let's just stay in our lane when it comes to this horse racing. They're just waiting to get to the stud fee portion of their career. I guess.
Yes, but yes, they do know, and there are horses who have had great rivalries. Affirmed and Alidar felt like they were competing with each other.
They trash-talk in the barn and all that kind of stuff. What'd you call me?
Thank you, Todd. So that happened yesterday. That was big news on the gambling podcast that Bad Larry has stepped down. Probably not the craziest thing that was said yesterday. Draymond Green has a podcast, The Draymond Green Show, and he talked about Steve Kerr's role in his career.
As much as he's done for me in basketball, a part of me think he's hindered me in my career and what I could have become. When KD came from 2016 on, I have not had a play in our playbook. Not a single play that we run from me in our playbook. This is 2016. But if you're going to take one gripe and not be able to move past it for all the other things, then you're shallow as a person.
That says more about you as a person than it does about Steve or whoever else in that instant. You got to take the good with the bad, man.
So Draymond thinks he's a 30-point scorer, that Steve held him back, that he didn't run plays for him. All I know is if I got Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson, I'm not running any plays for you. I'm sorry. I could make a case that Draymond hindered Steve Kerr's career, certainly in one playoff series.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the 76ers vs. Celtics series?
The last time Philly eliminated Boston was 1982.
Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day, Stout of the Day.
Stout of the Day, brought to you by, in any America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner. Download the app if you haven't done so. The Timberwolves knocking out the Nuggets, and boy, that's the walk of shame if you're Denver. There is no excuse for that. Give credit to Minnesota.
Minnesota matched the bravado and then some of Denver and stood up to Joker and Jamal Murray. And they did so without their top three guards. But you imagine, if you're the Knicks... And there's a chance the 76ers knocking off the Celtics on Saturday? Wow. You'll be big Philadelphia 76er fans. This is where a team kind of figured it out a little bit.
You didn't know if you were having Embiid, right? People even questioned if he was actually hurt. Yes, Marv. But here's the thing.
If you're the Knicks, do you really want to see Tyrese Maxey for maybe seven games?
I would rather see him than I would Tatum and Brown in a really balanced Celtic lineup. Jalen Brunson and those guys had a hard time with C.J. McCollum. Yes, Dylan. From a viewership standpoint, would you rather see the Knicks play the Sixers or the Celtics? Kind of the story line. I would say the Celtics. I mean, that's a rivalry. Philly, though. Philly, New York. I don't know.
I like watching Philly because I like Tyrese Maxey. And I do have great appreciation for Joel Embiid. Because he's been through an awful lot. And he's still playing. Like we talk about Anthony Davis being through a lot. He's not playing. Joel Embiid is always trying to play. And he said, when I'm out there, I am playing hard.
Yeah, Paulie. You know, we criticize load management. But if you look at the 76ers this year, that's all they did. Paul George had less than 40 starts. Embiid had fewer than 40 starts. And Embiid had a policy, no back-to-backs. And look where he is right now. Yeah. Yeah, Dill. I think it was the first time you guys had Embiid on the show and he told the story about killing a lion.
