Plenty of gifts for you with father's day dollar shape club dot com slash Patrick and they have a bundle there a gift set at dollar shape club dot com slash Patrick.

We also have some gifts there for father's day last minute and we've got you covered go to Dan Patrick dot com the NBA for the past decade was fairly predictable when you think about it because for the most part we had either the warriors in there or we have a LeBron James lead team in the finals.

Do we look at load management differently we're going to say yep see it worked for him.

Whereas Anthony Davis to me wasn't in shape this year James Harden wasn't in shape this year.

You got Kyrie who's got a sprained ankle he's checked out a couple of times from the lineup you know LeBron had the sprained ankle now sprained

ankle that's happened that will continue to happen there's nothing you can do about that but I do think with Anthony Davis with the groin injury I just don't think that he was in great shape.
