Speaker 1: Ben and Skin Show ninety some point one The Eagle.
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging with us today.
Speaker 2: Ben.
Speaker 1: It's that time where we tell you the sponsor of
Speaker 1: the sports segment is Twisted Root Burger Company.
Speaker 2: And I know you love you some Twisted Root.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it might be the best burger
Speaker 3: in the history of Dallas Fort Worth. It's definitely in
Speaker 3: the discussion. There have been some great burgers. There's one
Speaker 3: particular burger architect that we know who makes a fine,
Speaker 3: fine burger. But if you were to list out the
Speaker 3: top burgers in town, you'd be remiss not to have
Speaker 3: Twisted Root right at the top of that list. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and now they spent the last six months or so
Speaker 3: retooling their menu and so they've re emerged.
Speaker 2: It's even better than ever.
Speaker 1: Plus they have some build you own burger options that
Speaker 1: we're big, big fans of. So what we want you
Speaker 1: to do is to visit a Twisted Root Burger Company.
Speaker 1: They're all over the Metroplex, Carrollton, Deep Elum, Arlington, Bedford,
Speaker 1: East Plain. I could go on and on, but all
Speaker 1: the locations are great. They're delicious and you're going to
Speaker 1: have a great time. Check it out. It's the Twisted
Speaker 1: Root Burger Company. But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2: Balance around the sports.
Speaker 3: KDD Queens has all the sports.
Speaker 4: Yes, look at those Indiana Pacers. They're now up too
Speaker 4: to one in the NBA Finals after a big win
Speaker 4: last night at home over our friends to the North,
Speaker 4: our allies to the Oklahoma City Thunder not.
Speaker 2: Our allies hate them. Uh and uh dude, I.
Speaker 3: Cannot believe this. I can't wait to get your thoughts
Speaker 3: on this skin. I thought that it was going to
Speaker 3: be a gentleman's sweep after you know, the Pacers took
Speaker 3: Game one.
Speaker 2: I thought Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3: Was like, hey, what are we doing? Why are we
Speaker 3: playing with our food? Let's mop these fools up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't to be. And it wasn't even some
Speaker 3: incredible game by Haliburt And it was just good balance
Speaker 3: game throughout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good balance game throughout.
Speaker 1: And they I thought going into the series that for
Speaker 1: Indiana to have a chance, they were gonna have to
Speaker 1: hit a ridiculous percentage of their threes. Oklahoma City shot
Speaker 1: better from three last night, I think, which you have.
Speaker 1: You know, Indiana is a really, really good team. I
Speaker 1: did not think they were an elite team. They have
Speaker 1: an elite coach. They have maybe the best coach in
Speaker 1: the NBA when it comes to just managing a game
Speaker 1: and strategizing on all of those things. When you get
Speaker 1: into a series and you have to rely on certain things,
Speaker 1: then it requires guys to step up. And the one
Speaker 1: question that I had about Oklahoma City. I was one
Speaker 1: thousand percent sure that Shay Gilgis Alexander would be up
Speaker 1: for it. My question was when other guys had to
Speaker 1: step up, were they ready? Like Jalen Williams as a
Speaker 1: player I really like, and he had a good game
Speaker 1: last night, but I don't know that I think he's
Speaker 1: third team All NBA. I think he was third team
Speaker 1: All NBA because they were far and away the best team.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, we can't only have one guy on here. Oh,
Speaker 1: Jalen's pretty good. I think, you know, it's not that
Speaker 1: he's an unworthy All Star, but I don't think he's
Speaker 1: there yet.
Speaker 2: I think he'll be there.
Speaker 1: This is still you realize Oklahoma City's the youngest team
Speaker 1: in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Right, and and they have so many picks, and so
Speaker 3: what I wonder how they would look at this if
Speaker 3: they don't win it. This year as a front office,
Speaker 3: do they panic or they say, we got to make changes.
Speaker 3: I mean they have They could do anything they wanted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that I think that they keep
Speaker 1: it together.
Speaker 2: I think they believe in the group and they believe
Speaker 2: in what they do.
Speaker 1: Just the one thing that's crazy is that they've gone
Speaker 1: through a situation before where they had they had three
Speaker 1: successive MVPs.
Speaker 2: Like, think about that.
Speaker 1: The first three people that Sam Presty ever drafted all
Speaker 1: became MVP. First three draft picks were Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook,
Speaker 1: and James Harden. All three of those guys became MVP
Speaker 1: of the league. And that's why you know we're talking
Speaker 1: about this. It's like he's regarded as maybe the best,
Speaker 1: that's regarded as maybe the best front office and all
Speaker 1: of North American sports, not just the NBA, and he
Speaker 1: won Executive of the Year this year and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But I think that the team is so young and
Speaker 1: because they're not I don't know what they're like financially now,
Speaker 1: but the reason they broke up those three guys before
Speaker 1: is unwillingness to pay luxury tax. They're gonna have to
Speaker 1: start signing guys on down the road too, you know.
Speaker 1: And so that's but they are very methodical and very strategic.
Speaker 1: I think they keep it together personally, especially with Luca
Speaker 1: leaving the Mavericks. I mean, I bet that they probably
Speaker 1: looked at that and said, Okay, that takes a team
Speaker 1: that we were struggling with out of the picture. Now
Speaker 1: we'll see how bad. We'll see how the Mavericks bounce
Speaker 1: back next year. But they're still the bell of the ball.
Speaker 2: In the West.
Speaker 3: I want them to win it this year because I
Speaker 3: think it helps the Mavericks explain. If Oklahoma City wins
Speaker 3: this year, they're going to have that championship meet in
Speaker 3: their belly and it's hard to go back to back
Speaker 3: because it's hard to have that fire. Yeah right, And
Speaker 3: so I'd rather they just were fat and happy and
Speaker 3: satisfied with being champs and ah darn, we didn't go
Speaker 3: back to back. But if they lose after being the
Speaker 3: best team of the NBA and they're the youngest team
Speaker 3: of the NBA, there will be hell to pay next year.
Speaker 2: I mean, what if.
Speaker 5: They what if they sit there and they look at
Speaker 5: their organization and they determined, man, our MVP player was
Speaker 5: just getting blown by all night. We gotta have a
Speaker 5: guy who can play defense. Do you like championships?
Speaker 2: Do you like that that that that's going around now?
Speaker 1: Is it the blown by stats from Shae versus Luca
Speaker 1: last year?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Because she's getting blown by. He's had some blown bys?
Speaker 6: Oh more than Luca apparently? Yeah, total, But I don't know.
Speaker 6: I got to trade him for an aging injured player. Now,
Speaker 6: let me say I've seen I have not seen. I
Speaker 6: have not That's funny, I have not seen. Uh you know,
Speaker 6: those stats validated. I've just seen it on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Sure, and I all say, I'm same, dude, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm also a little like apprehensive about the idea of
Speaker 1: blown by stats, like, al right, come.
Speaker 3: On, man, mind blown by stats were terrible in high school.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Man, ah man, Well we'll get even in marriage. Still
Speaker 3: really low?
Speaker 2: Ah man.
Speaker 1: Well we'll get back into sports a little bit later
Speaker 1: when we do Cowboys Kerosene.
Speaker 2: That's what that's coming up at five o'clock. We good
Speaker 2: with that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, fantastic, Katie. Explain what's happening next in
Speaker 1: food News.
Speaker 2: Let's play the feud
