Speaker 1 (00:00):
Been in Skin Show ninety seven point one the Eagle.
We do have bad Omens tickets to give away later
in the show. Be listening, wait for your clue. Use
the iHeart app. You'll be in the mix now. This
segment is brought to you by Frankel and Frankel, our
good buddies. That number is two one four, three three, three,
thirty three thirty three or eight one seven in all threes.
They're injury lawyers and they can help you whether you
(00:22):
get hurt and erect, get hurt on the job site.
They advocate for you. They fight the insurance companies, and
they get you what you deserve. That's why we say
called the Frankeles first. Get them in the mix immediately.
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Now it's around the sports ktd tweets as all the sports.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, all right, We'll talked about the MAVs a little
bit earlier and then lost last night. We get back
into that in a second. I have something from inside
the NBA last night, kind of awesome. It's just the same.
So yeah, I don't know how often they're gonna do it,
but it was just the same.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I didn't know it was happening last night, and I
ended up watching the halftime and I didn't stay up
for the You know, it was great.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Okay, because they were talking about they were ganging up
on Shack, and they were talking about how many points
Wimby would have put on him, Shack forty eight. They're
watching the highlights, the number kept going up. Shack was like, no,
I know, it's funny. But at one point Barkley's serie
went off. Yeah that was it.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, that was a halftime right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
The poor guard. I mean, but I'm sure a few
million things.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Will pop up.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Did you say something about that? That's pretty great. I mean,
it happens to usometimes, but when it happens to them
on TV, it's just funny because they're always climbing on
each other.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The look on his face was great.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm glad they kept that the same and yeah, see
if they do.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Cooper Flag ten points, ten rebounds, no assist for your
starting point guard. But I would just like to say
more points in his NBA debut. Then greats like Kyrie, Irving, Kawhi,
Leonard and Won Dirt, Noovitsky. The future still bright boys, Yes,
let's not get down on it.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, not down, not down on him at all. I
just found myself watching that game, going, man, it would
have been so much easier if they didn't put that
burden on him in any way. Yeah, and it's not
like they made him the point guard. You're bringing it
up every time. They just whoever's bringing it up bring
it up. So it's not like he is really the
point guard. But I found myself watching that going, Yeah,
(02:34):
they probably do need a point guard. They probably probably
help if they had that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, and I'll I mean, the candidate is going to
be D'Angelo Russell. I don't know what to tell you
about Dante Xen I meaneah, I don't know what to say, man.
I don't have any specific details other than okay, so
he didn't play in preseason, and then in the final
preseason game, Jay Kid told us we're gonna shut him
down for a little while. For a guy who's been
been hurt off and on and playing half a season
(03:03):
for so long, my hopes are not high. He would
have been exactly what this team needed, right. I saw
D'Angelo Russell missed like three layups last night. I'm like
that there's no way that's going to continue to happen.
He didn't look great. He had a really off year
last year.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
The TV broadcast, they were throwing out some crazy stuff
about Kyrie. I thank you for bringing this up after Thanksgiving? Dude,
what am I doing?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And you're not in the We're not in those meetings.
It was I thought that they presented it as Jason
Kidd was telling us to expect Kyrie irving stuff around Thanksgiving.
That's just watching it. So Ben and I ride an
event at Rollertown last night. The new Rollertown's not open
to the public yet. It opens Friday. That's a brewery
we're invested in. So I couldn't As I was watching
(03:52):
the first half, I couldn't hear stuff. And then when
I got home, I started the game over from the
beginning because I wanted to hear watch and all that too. Yeah,
And they were definitely implying that Jason Kidd was telling them.
And it was Jay Billis and Ryan Ruco where you're
played by play guys, they were definitely implying that Jay
(04:13):
Kid was telling them. He started looking around Thanksgiving for Kyrie,
and I was like, no.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
What if it was what if he meant start looking
around Thanksgiving is when he'll start like practicing and get
out there with a basketball and be I guess he's
doing some of that.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I saw there was footage of him wanting to play
a D one on one at practice and kids shut
it down.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I didn't see that, but I did hear about that.
So I don't know. Maybe he's closer than you realize, man,
but that would make that would make a lot more
sense just as a roster building. The reason that they
you know, they're just approaching it without a point guard. Yeah,
like just because he's going to be back sooner than
we realize. That would be unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, I'm just gonna say no offense to Ryan Ruco
or j Billis. I have not changed my thought that
we won't see him until after the All Star break
or sometime in February. But who knows.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Man's sixty day window. Man, that's a big window.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That's a huge window.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Christmas would have been like, Okay, that's I mean, dude,
it's a third.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Of the season.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That's a ninety day window. Actually, now I'm thinking about it,
wildly disappointing start. We were so I mean, I know
you were being I was so amped up for last
night and then I felt okay until the very end
of the first half, and it's like, oh, this isn't
any good, and then the second half started worse.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, there were some tough turnovers from Flag. Like he
he is, uh and I'm not worried about him in
the least, but it's gonna be an adjustment. He's eighteen
and now he's playing with the best athletes on the planet,
and so there a couple times the preseason I saw
him try some things, some passes and I was like,
a behind the back or something, and I'm like, yeah,
(05:52):
he maybe maybe could have done that against a small college,
but you can't do that in the NBA. And he
tried to pass skip a guy on a pass a
couple times and it got intercepted. So it's gonna be
a learning curve for him. But to start off with
a double double is rock solid.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, And they play the Wizards on Friday, No doubt.
We'll be talking about that tomorrow, all right. Coming up next,

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
