We open the bonus show this week by talking about Joel Embiid, and the possibility of him needing yet another knee surgery. Rob feels like he did himself a disservice by playing in the Olympics and that the Sixers need to work with their doctors instead of his to try and get him back on the floor. Plus a listener wants to know if we’re sleeping on the Trail Blazers, who are still a young team and not that good yet, but Rob feels like they have a lot of upside.

Rob also defends his stance that the Lakers need to take the ball OUT of AR’s hands, after he had a monster night against the Pacers, but Rob says its because he just holds the ball too long and takes too many shots when he needs to spread it around more. Harper also thinks that Lakers need to work more on building around a big and less on the shooting guards that have been dominating the game. And listeners want to know Rob’s opinion on a player like Bradley Beal going back to the Wizards (even though they are not good) to be the big dog on the floor as opposed to getting limited time on a team that should be better.

Lastly, as Ben Simmons leaves the Nets, we ask Rob what team is immediately better if a player leaves town. And on Valentine’s Day, we ask all the guys about their top three candy bars and of course a huge debate breaks out.

Rob opens this week’s show from Austin, Texas – as he calls the Texas-Alabama game for Compass Media this week! And we also dive head first into Luka’s debut as an LA Laker, as Rob is still holding out judgement until they face some more serious competition. Rob says it felt like an All-Star game moment at times but Harper feels like it can work with time. We also dive into the wild fans that are throwing death threats at Nico Harrison, the conspiracy theories surrounding the Luka trade out of Dallas, and the unfortunate Anthony Davis injury that went down in his debut game for the Mavericks.

Plus the Dalton Knecht trade that fell through lands squarely on Robert Horry’s radar, because it happened to HIM when he almost got traded to Detroit. Rob talks about how his failed trade really worked for his career and hopes that Dalton’s failed trade has the same positive impact. That of course launches into the Lakers’ need for a big man, and sure enough both Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins both pop up. Jimm Butler’s move to Golden State takes over the conversation, as both Rob and B-Dog really like the move, and even though Golden State is trailing in the standings Rob still feels like a young team like OKC in the Playoffs could pop up and bite them. Plus we are all surprised that Phoenix spent so much time last week trying to move Kevin Durant which may end up being the end of his time with the Suns.

We also get Harper’s break down of the Trae Young situation in Atlanta and how he’ll likely be moved within the next couple of seasons, and everyone has flowers for the Philadelphia Eagles, from the front four to Jalen Hurts. We also dish out a simple but inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and with Rob travelling so much we roll out a round of “Where in the World is Robert Horry?”

On the anniversary of the Patriots losing in WILD fashion to the Giants in the Super Bowl, we talk about the craziest endings to games we can remember. Candidates include the Tracy McGrady flurry to beat the Rockets, the Reggie Miller game against the Knicks and Kobe outscoring the Mavericks in just three quarters. And in honor of Jalen Smith wearing a house on his head at the Grammys, we talk about some of the crazies things we’ve seen people wear out in public.

Rob also weighs in on how excited he is for the new Captain America flick and just how bad the Sony Marvel flicks have been now that we’ve seen Kraven the Hunter. Listeners also want to know when the last time Rob played actual basketball or if he’s just too old, and he jokes that every time he tries to get after it he ends up hurting himself. Plus one of our buddies was so excited to go to the Super Bowl that he accidentally left his luggage behind at the house, which prompts a conversation about stuff we left behind on vacation. And after a listener turned his parent on to Little Caesars, we all talk about the food or restaurants that we were turned on to, or turned other people on to.
