It's just the two of them this week — Harp's off in San Antonio, so Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are running the show solo, old-school style. No Shoot Around this Friday either, so they're packing everything into one episode.   They start with the good stuff: the NBA dropped a taste of the schedule, and the Christmas Day slate is loaded — Spurs-Knicks, Heat-Celtics, Sixers-Lakers (hello LeBron revenge tour), Thunder-Wolves, and Nuggets-Warriors closing it out. Bob and Rob debate whether Denver deserved the marquee spot over Dallas, and that turns into a bigger conversation about how much longer Jokic and Steph stick around their current teams — and why neither of them should ever, ever run for office.   From there it's opening week previews, a Pistons discussion that gets real about the Jalen Duren contract standoff, and Bob's old war stories about guys faking injuries to force a new deal. Then the Kawhi Leonard stuff. Another secret endorsement deal surfaced this week — this time with Daktronics — and the guys walk through it, plus the resurfaced details from the Lakers' 2019 free agency pitch that the league is now investigating. They get into whether the Clippers star actually suits up this season and what it means if the NBA lets this slide.   Also on deck: Dillon Brooks cashing in with a $73 million extension from the Spurs, Wemby flying the whole Spurs roster to Paris for a mini training camp, and Robert's take on a young guy trying to "lead" without doing anything out of the ordinary.   VJ Edgecombe getting FaceTimed by LeBron leads Bob into one of his own stories from his playing days, and then Scottie Pippen's blunt comments about Zion Williamson's discipline get the full breakdown — including Bob's offer to personally get Zion in shape.   They pay respects to the late, great Don Nelson, run back Adam Vinatieri's surprisingly filthy Hall of Fame speech, and there's a QVC clip that has to be heard to be believed. Big Shot of the Week goes to a Virginia man who donated a kidney to a stranger and wore his Santa hat into surgery to do it.   And to close it out — since it's just the two of them — they finally play 82 and 0 on the show for the first time, drafting all-time rosters and trying (and mostly failing) to go undefeated.   00:00  Kickoff: Just Rob and Rob This Week 01:34  Christmas Day Slate Revealed 02:34  Jokic, Steph and the Nuggets-Warriors Debate 07:05  NBA Opening Week Schedule 08:04  Pistons Outlook and the Jalen Duren Standoff 10:34  Old-School Contract Holdout Stories 12:34  Setting Up 82 and 0 14:11  Kawhi's Latest Secret Endorsement Deal 15:34  The 2019 Clippers Free Agency Allegations 20:34  Will Kawhi Suit Up This Season? 22:34  Dillon Brooks Cashes In 24:34  Wemby's Paris Minicamp 27:05  VJ Edgecombe's LeBron FaceTime Story 29:34  Scottie Pippen Sounds Off on Zion 37:34  Remembering Don Nelson 39:30  Vinatieri's Hall of Fame Roast 40:55  QVC Wig Clip of the Week 42:32  Big Shot of the Week: Dave Bell 43:36  Playing 82 and 0 53:03  TV Talk and Sign-Off

With a second side hustle involving Daktronics now coming to light, we break down what this means for Steve Ballmer and the future of the Clippers' trade pending limbo.

On the baseball side, Pope steps up to the plate with a massive "punch" for the Hall of Fame committee. We're finally demanding answers on why Tommy John, a man with 288 wins and a surgery that literally saved the sport, is still on the outside looking in. When you look at the arms currently in the Hall, the math simply doesn't add up, and it's time to call out the inconsistency.
