Speaker 1: All right, it's the Ben and Skin Show, ninety seven
Speaker 1: point one the Eagle. The Mavericks hit fourteen of twenty
Speaker 1: eight threes last night, fifty percent of their threes. They
Speaker 1: had big games from Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson, two
Speaker 1: guys on the roster who have won NBA championships. Combined,
Speaker 1: those guys gave the Mavericks fifty points and fourteen rebounds
Speaker 1: between those two guys, and they both shot really well
Speaker 1: from three. Clay was five of seven and Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: was three of six from three. So the Mavericks win
Speaker 1: one twenty to one oh six. They advanced to Memphis,
Speaker 1: who they will play tomorrow night. You can hear it
Speaker 1: right here on the Eagle, and the game unfolded in
Speaker 1: a way that led to Ben telling someone to eat
Speaker 1: a bag of these.
Speaker 2: Well, I was I didn't know how I was going
Speaker 2: to feel watch of the game, but I ended up.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been heartbroken over this Luca thing, and
Speaker 2: I didn't even know if I wanted to root for
Speaker 2: the MAVs, And as soon as the game started, that
Speaker 2: flew out the window, and I was rooting for the
Speaker 2: MAVs because that's what I've done my entire life, and
Speaker 2: so it was a.
Speaker 3: Pretty special night. Like I really savored the win. It
Speaker 3: meant a lot. I don't know, it helped me heal
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it'll ever change the way I feel
Speaker 2: about the trade, but I felt good. It reminded me
Speaker 2: that I'm a MAVs fan, and so I posted something
Speaker 2: positive about the Mavericks and this guy Owens sausage eight nine,
Speaker 2: seven sixty five.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's legit.
Speaker 2: He he said, you can't be mister Debbie Downer leading
Speaker 2: up to the game and then act like you're a
Speaker 2: mff l er. Yep, keep the negativity as the MAVs
Speaker 2: don't need it.
Speaker 3: So I was trying to farow what he's saying.
Speaker 2: I think he was saying, the MAVs don't need your
Speaker 2: positivity because because.
Speaker 3: Much other positivity.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I'm like, they're drowning in positivity these guys.
Speaker 3: I said, breaking news.
Speaker 2: A guy with five numbers in his Twitter handle has
Speaker 2: let me know that only MAVs fans who fully supported
Speaker 2: the Luca trade can enjoy the play and win. Uh.
Speaker 3: This is very good to know.
Speaker 2: I feared that it might be an incredibly complex situation.
Speaker 2: But now to learn through Owen eight nine seven six
Speaker 2: five's infinite. Well I said that you got mery about
Speaker 2: the Yeah, Owens eight nine seven six five. Don't tell
Speaker 2: me how to feel. I'm in a glass case of emotion.
Speaker 3: Oh hey, man, everybody's on edge.
Speaker 1: Last night, out of nowhere, harlea, Bob started yelling at
Speaker 1: me on Twitter for yeah what poor? Uh time to
Speaker 1: go enjoys soccer and go away. So there is our friends.
Speaker 1: We're ben and I are friends with Jason Gallagher, Like
Speaker 1: that's a guy that we know and love. Uh and
Speaker 1: him and another guy that I'm friends with through uh
Speaker 1: just mass media soup. His name is Josh bo He
Speaker 1: writes for Avas Moneyball. He was talking about Man, I
Speaker 1: just wish people would quit saying you know that it's
Speaker 1: hard on these players. I haven't seen anybody booing the players,
Speaker 1: And Jason Gallagher's like, yeah, I know right. I mean
Speaker 1: I've been there. It's been positive, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: kind of comment was like, guys, you think Max Christie
Speaker 1: enjoyed having fire? I mean, I'm pair for you, but
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm telling you from personal experience, the
Speaker 1: players do not feel your support, you can tell yourself
Speaker 1: they are, I said, but if you if you're feeling
Speaker 1: negative and you go out there and you spray s
Speaker 1: on everything, there's going to be unintended consequences where some
Speaker 1: people that you probably like are getting s on them.
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to say, I don't think you
Speaker 1: should lie to yourself about that. I didn't tell anybody
Speaker 1: to stop saying fire and Eco. I didn't tell anybody
Speaker 1: how to cheer, but that's the way people took it.
Speaker 3: And so Horrorla Bob.
Speaker 1: Came in with your something about you would never cut
Speaker 1: it in Europe, you know, and I'm like, oh, where
Speaker 1: they yell racist things at soccer players. And then I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking, I don't want to really get into
Speaker 1: Horrlea Bob's situation because I've known him, you know, for
Speaker 1: a long time. I have no desire to disrespect him online.
Speaker 1: You know, that's fine. We can disagree about things. But
Speaker 1: my whole point about all this is you can do
Speaker 1: whatever you want, you know, cheer however you want. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is when you go in there and
Speaker 1: you chant fire Nico while other people are trying to
Speaker 1: do their jobs, including the players that are here. Then
Speaker 1: you are affecting them. You can lie to yourself and
Speaker 1: say that you're not, but y'are and it's okay.
Speaker 3: Keep doing it.
Speaker 1: If you don't care about those ramifications, do whatever you want,
Speaker 1: but don't pretend like, oh, the players are getting support.
Speaker 1: That's why Klay Thompson said last night it was nice
Speaker 1: to get out on the road so you could be
Speaker 1: in a positive experience for a playoff game.
Speaker 3: Think about what he's saying. PJ.
Speaker 1: Washington went public and said, please stop chanting this. He
Speaker 1: asked the public, if you are a fan, please stop
Speaker 1: doing this. So if you're doing it, don't lie to
Speaker 1: yourself and say that it's not impacting the players.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you it is.
Speaker 2: I'm down with that, I understand that, but it's the
Speaker 2: organization's fault, not the fans fault.
Speaker 1: I agree, but I didn't say it was the fans fault.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you do this, this is what's happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what happens when your organization does what
Speaker 2: they did, and so it's nothing but negativity for everybody involved.
Speaker 3: And I don't know how to get past it. I
Speaker 3: don't know how to move on.
Speaker 2: But I think it'll get easier in time, and it'll
Speaker 2: be easier if they're competitive, and that's what they were
Speaker 2: last night. Man, it was awesome. It was a huge
Speaker 2: win for the Mavericks. So they would go off tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night they play the Grizzlies and Job might not play,
Speaker 2: or is he?
Speaker 1: So he hurt his ankle at early fourth quarter against
Speaker 1: Golden State and was out for I don't know, seven
Speaker 1: minutes or so, and then came back and played at
Speaker 1: the end of that game. But you know, whenever you
Speaker 1: turn your ankle, it's always worse the next day. So
Speaker 1: I was sitting there watching that going he may not
Speaker 1: be available on Friday, I've not seen. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's been ruled out, but it certainly I bet.
Speaker 3: He gives it a go for sure.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, the back half of three o'clock
Speaker 2: hour today is all about space the next Frontier. We've
Speaker 2: got a new report about alien life and Gail King
Speaker 2: colaps back at Space AIDS.
Speaker 3: That's all coming away next right here on the Eagle
