The Dan Le Batard Show

Team Dan is here and begins the hour with an apology and admitting to having sent a spy to Team Stu. They take a look back at the dramatic Game 6 between Boston and Miami and Celtics fans making excuses for their Game 7 loss. Then, Mike analyzes his own perfectionism, Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley love the "maximum challenge," and a group discussion on how much of the credit for the Heat's win can actually go to Jayson Tatum's ankle. Plus, Tony says he'd be a good on-court pairing with Max Strus and our joy in Bill Simmons' misery.

Dan, Stu, and the Shipping Container explain the plan for the rest of the show after power went out at the studio...No. For real. It's not a bit. Dan plays a quick game of "Pick Your Favorite Stat" before handing the keys to Stugotz and his team of Billy, Brad Williams, Roy, JuJu, and Jeremy. Then, Stu's crew tries to guess what Le Batard's group will do for Hour 1 and questions whether they should do something different or do the same show but better. They discuss if there might be a spy in the group and Erik Spoelstra's beard before Stugotz questions if Spo could leave Miami. Plus, we dissect what might be one of the biggest Stugotz lies has ever told. Is the Stugotz strong in Jeremy?!

Dan is excited because fear has finally arrived in the Heat-Celtics series after Boston's dominant Game 5 win, but the Shipping Container is not concerned. It's time to talk Haywood Highsmith, Joe Mazzulla's aggressive timeouts, the Zeller Minutes, Gabe Vincent, and recklessly speculate about Jimmy Butler. Sports! Plus, Tony believes HE could be better for the Miami Heat than one of their current role players, and Amin demands the ball to deliver an "I told you so" for analysis we never actually let him say on yesterday's show.

It's time to talk failure with Howard Bryant, Kate Fagan, and Amin Elhassan. After Giannis Antetokounmpo's comments after being eliminated from the postseason, 'failure' has been at the tip of everyone's tongue. The crew examines coaching and the need to be liked, the disrespect of the coaching profession, and how much time coaches deserve. What gets coaches fired? Change for the sake of change? Plus, how much of being a failure as a coach or athlete is about "where you end the movie?"

Protect Mina Kimes at all costs. 

Dan and Mina don't hold back about the crazy, anxiety-filled playground that was "Highly Questionable", the ways they've learned to turn criticism into confidence over the years, and fighting off embarrassment, disappointment, and the downright stupid frustrations that still eat at them today. No one would dare sh*t on Mina or Dan after this... alright, maybe Dan.
