• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, So what shot you the most about fantasy.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I would have to say probably just the fact that,
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: uh it just kind of make you lock in more
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: of the basketball, you know, just keeping up with the
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: stats and and I actually wanting to watch random games.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: So all of that was a little bit shocking for me.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: But uh, it just made me locked in a little
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: bit and become of an NBA fan.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. And you think locking in on random games did
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that make fantasy easier for you?
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: It just made me feel, you know, more like I
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: was in tune with with what you know, what players
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: can do and and their stat lines and their capabilities
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: But you know, you just had to figure like figure
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: out you had to keep up with the game in
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: order to be able to compete, you know, from week
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to week.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they go that numbers over narratives that I be
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, making sure you locked in on
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the information, making sure you're checking them games out. kJ.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna swing that same question to you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: What you know what before I jump into that this
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: your first year playing fantasy basketball as well.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so what shocked you the most about it?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Probably it probably stop me the most.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Really just some of those players that really ain't like
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: the look that ain't Luca, but they putting up the
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: same amount of Fantasy points.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So kind of like.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Those lower tier players who really putting up the same
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: amount of Fantasy points as more of the big names.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of make you look at the game differently. Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it ain't just all offense and defenses. It's got
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: a lot more to it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, what what so do that make fantasy
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: easier for you? Just like looking for players that ain't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: really the big name.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Even guys, Yeah, dud, because it makes you think about
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: what what does this player bring to this team?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Now time if they more of a defensive player, then
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: they gonna bring a little more fantasy points.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: And then somebody who just purely a bucket.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I agree.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that, because y'all boys was trading
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: edge con like it weren't nothing, boy, y'all, y'all boys
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: trying to get off edge con. Them buckets weren't getting
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for y'all. Yeah, that's a good point though, because I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna lot. I saw I was able to scoop
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Jared Allen because brazy boys drop. I couldn't believe he
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: dropped him, saying like you look, I mean, everybody know
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Jared Allen can hoop, but he ain't going crazy. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you look at his fantasy production. People like him, they
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: go crazy.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, specially since they go yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Since they got hard yeah yeah, so stuff like that too.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think that might kind of make it easier. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it also like change up the dynamic, like trades like that,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know, the hard move, I think open up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: A little bit of everybody or Cleveland for sure.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah sure, yeah yeah, so uh yeah yeah so yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we just you know, capped off the you know what
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the what the experience is like for the first time.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You know, fantasy players, you know, uh you know, tap
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: in Sheriff, that's been your experience or if you got
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a different experience, make sure y'all you know tap in,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: let me know, let us know what you know, what
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: makes it easier surprise you by playing fantasy, so you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: keep it pushing the biggest surprise. I'm gonna come to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you with this on kJ who you know who as
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a player that outperformed expectations that probably helped some people
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: win leagues. It could be on your team, or it
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: could be league.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Wide Fantasy surprise. I ain't gonna lie probably mm hmm.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Jaylen Johnson, and i'mna say mm hmmm.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna start with Jayalen Johnson though, just because.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I feel like he was slipped on for the longest.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah much definitely nobody thought he was gonna be who
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: he is right now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: He jumped all the way to All Stars, so he
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: can definitely help some people win.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: He had number one ranked for it in ESPN Fantasy.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I was just updating his stats for the top performance
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: list that I was doing over the course of the season.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I just was changing his stats. He was getting that,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that's a great one. That's a great one.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Who you got here?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Let's see.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I'm about to go with somebody off my squad because
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: I've kind of been more locked in on myns.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, but probably Shaka would be. Probably Ryan Rollins.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: I felt like as a young guard, you know, I
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: don't think you know, he averaging thirty five point six
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Fantasy points. I feel like most people probably wouldn't expected
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: him to be as consistent as he is, So that's
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: what I would to go with.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, he ain't no big time of like Jalen.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Johnson, but consistency, I mean you can you can guarantee
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: you you're gonna put thirty thirty five up every night,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: so you can bank on that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: When I asked the question, that's actually who my mind
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: went on.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Ryan Rolins. Okay, I was watching him the other night
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago against Miami. I think, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie, it might not be a bad
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: idea to trade Giannis and just build around Ryan Rollins
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and kedjin Oh.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: For sure, He's definitely a center piece you could definitely
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: build around, and I would.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I mean if you get some talent back, but but
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: you definitely can build around.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like they wing player. Then in Milwaukee they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: got a solid squad for sure. Uh, who I come,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'll come back to your kids. Who shot you the most?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: This year shocked me the most.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm gonna go with Polo ban Caro. I knew
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: he was a strong player, but since I since I
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: drafted him, I was able to watch him closer, and uh,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize he was so, you know, such.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: An all around player and night in night out.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: You know, he had a little point where he was injured,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: but once he come back from injury, it was like
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: he was never gone. So yeah, pollow, pollow and put
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: up some numbers from me. So right now I'm looking
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: at him. He got farted right now in the third,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: but ten minutes, ten minutes left, so so he can
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: have a fifty sixty point night tonight.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So mm hmm. And that and that's against Milwaukee. We
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: was just talking about Milwaukee. Yeah, so man Carroll be hooping,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he'd be hooping for sure. Yeah what about what about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you kJ who shocked you the most?
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: I'm probably I'm probably have to go to Castle. Yeah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: he jumping quick. He's finna be a he's finna be
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: an all star real.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, yeah about it tonight, that two ways,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: both ends.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I had one of them weeks you was
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: top scorer.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I had shoted.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Your team out and he had led your whole team
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in scoring for the week Castle.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah he been hooping like yeah dog.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But he had a forty point triple double about a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: month ago.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Man, he had put two fantasy points.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he Yeah, it's crazy that spurs able to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: get that though.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and to still have Fox still.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Got a Fox everybody young.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, they gonna be got deal harder.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, mm hmmm, they're gonna be there.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: That's a good Yeah, Stephan Castle, that's a good one.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. Who shocked me the most is
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Kevin Porter Junior.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I mentioned him a little bit.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think now the fact that he ain't
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: in the off the court, he ain't got the off
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the court issues. You can see he really could just
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: hoo like we all knew he could hoop, like he
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: had the talent, but you know, it was a lot
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of extra stuff for him.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Now you've been able to lock in and you know play.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: He having a good year like he you know, I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: think if I am mistaken, I think he like top
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: He won the top ten fantasyguards this season. So yeah,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Kevin Porter probably one who shocked me the most.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: No, he's definitely a bucket.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, got it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But he threw a little bit of everything, got vision,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he got a decent
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: pass mm hmm. So on the other side of that,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: we talked about who shocked us, who was good? Who
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you know? Who going crazy? Who the biggest fit, fantasy disappointment? Keys,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you gotta come to you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I'm at to go with Jeremy Grant with Portland. I'm
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: home on two of him, and I'm ready to drop
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: him at any moment. But as soon as I consider
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: dropping him, he'll he'll put twenty.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Five thirty up for me or forty. But man, he been,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: he been just he's been killing for me. Every night.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I look at him, I'm like, man, he ain't doing nothing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Grant, Yeah, I don't know, man, I don't
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: know if he's going down. It's just a bad year
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: for him, or he had a couple of injuries. But yeah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the deal is. Was Grand.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: So part of that probably obed you too though, going.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Crazy bit Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess he ain't get
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: the same amount of touches he normally get.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: But he then fell off.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised you ain't trying to package you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I did, man, nobody wants to take I'm giving him
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: away a couple of weeks ago, but nobody wouldn't bite.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So I had a whole on tour.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Regret Nahn, you looked like one of the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: players that should have been better than what with his career?
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, he long, I mean slim, athletic. Yeah, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: would think, you know, he started off good though. You
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: know the last few seasons he was putting up.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: This season, he fall off.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Every time you have a good season, he fall off.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Because he had a good season, he was going to
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: be an All Star, ok, and then.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: He was I forgot about that man, that was a
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: little minute ago.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, yeah, you walk.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, we can make it work.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I like how my roster is shaped up out at

  Speaker 6: That Tatum Tatum.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a big one.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You know what, And it's crazy. I think it was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: so many different like reports coming out by Tatum like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: they kept making it seem like he was gonna come
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: back quicker than he actually was. I grabbed him in
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: like December because they was talking like he was gonna
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: come back in January, and then I dropped him.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: You ain't really hear no more. Yeah, I appreciate you
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: dropping him.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Though, dropped because they look like like he was trying
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: to come back in April.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: See.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Oh all right, I think we lost you their kJ.

  Speaker 2: Can't not even trade him?
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah that just me.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when it comes to Joe, somebody who I don't
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: want to, you know, don't want to show no kind
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: of professionalism yeah, I mean, you're gonna trade him, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I just feel like every team's gonna have the.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Same problem with him.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: It's just one of them guys that.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: To me, he don't deserve to be to be in
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: the league.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Tom of.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Tao, he needs too much around it by him, like
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: he too much of a slasher as a guard. He
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: needs too many shooters around him. You take he ain't
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: got no shooters on his team. He don't look that
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: good now. He don't want to play no more.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It's too emotional now, you don't want to play.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he dude, look like that though.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Ban ain't got traded dealing. That's when it went downhill though,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: when they got rid of dealing though.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah it looks like they got.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got rid of Jackson, so like they're starting
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: over anyway.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, John Nixt probably the off season trade. He
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: probably go somewhere. I just don't where y'all think he
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: can go. Where he's gonna be he can have an
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: immediate impact.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Mm Hmmmy New Orleans might not be a bad spot
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: for him, you know, not.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: That he's just kind of somewhere.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: He can go and either Washington or New Orleans somewhere
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: like that where he probably need to go.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I think I think he'll be decent.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: And Minnesota and Atlanta, that's what I'm gonna say.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Atlanta interested that one interesting. I know that I've been
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: seeing like some rumors by him going to Minnesota. That's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like that's one of the places he want to go
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: at least to live up with a.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike can do something with them, I mean yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: because that's aunt teams.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: So John just gotta be he just got to put
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: up some eighteen to ten.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: That's better than what Mike Conley and the mother guards
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: they got doing.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they need guard help.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: So okay, who is your you said Thompson, Yeah, saw
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: he ain't. He ain't doing nothing.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: He ain't doing nothing.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: He he just hit defensive presence. But he ain't got
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: no offense for real. So it's like if he don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: have a crazy good defensive game, he ain't putting up
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: no numbers.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And it's also a situation, I guess because they
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: got kid in all of them. So yeah, to me, like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: you say, what you see what it's twin doing?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, they he hooping. It seemed like it seemed
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: like the way Detroit constructed though it ain't really a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: lot of space for him to show offense. No, it's
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like it's like k got a lot to do with
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the offense. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So all right, so
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: your disappointments was a zog and uh jie you had
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Jerremy Grant right, yeah yeah, so kJ, I'm gonna come
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: back to you.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Who are you never drafting again?
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: Mm hmmm, Joh, I ain't never draft jih uh anybody
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: that's two injury prone, like the like the Anthony Davis
• 19:57

  Speaker 4: The people who are streaks.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: Mm hmm.

• 20:06
  Speaker 1: trade check for a D. I try to trade Cat

  Speaker 1: for a D. Luckily Bro would never responded. I would
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: have been stuck with that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you'd have been made.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, he would feel like I feel right now
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: with Curry trading at and Eld for Carry. I like
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Carry because I follow him, So that's kind of why
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: I traded for him so I can watch him play.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: But man, I don't know. Crab been injured a lot
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: When last time he played felt like he ain't playing
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: about too much.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Huh uh break huh.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Look at yeah, yeah, about a month.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: It's been at least about a month. Month and a half.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Supposed to be back on the thirteenth, they saying, but
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: But yeah, he been banged up a little bit.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: You're getting older.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so so who so who?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: You never drafted again?
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I must go back with Jeremy Grant.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Uh h.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm gonna go back with him. Yeah,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I would, I would touch him again. Uh yeah, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: got to go with Grant.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Everybody else I've been uh you know, been satisfied with
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: everybody else.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: I mean I can't complain I have done pretty good
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: in this league.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: So but Grant, I'll be the only person that really
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: didn't did pull that weight.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so thats thats what was gonna leave me
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to my next question. You actually answered it. Uh kJ.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So you satisfied with your early draft picks?
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: No, No, John was one of my early draft pieces.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: I probably picked them up like fourth or fifth, my
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: fourth or fifth round.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Huh okay, all right, yeah, I ain't gonna lie.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That's the thing about these drafts, especially this new NBALL.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I say new NBA, but it just seemed like everybody
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: be Day today.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't want to back the backs.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I get on that here to day. Somebody got Day
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: today by their name.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah that little management real boy, Yeah that's real.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so hey you hear it here, go for the
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: young dogs. You know what I'm saying, people who want
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to play, Uh, that's gonna help you be a stability,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you know, get towards that playoffs. The fantasy season is
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a long grind, so make sure y'all looking at stability,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you know, consistency and repeatability for sure. For sure.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I got I got the iron Man mckal bridges,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: so I already know I can count on him to
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: suit up at night. You know, you know, he average
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: a little over thirty. He inconsistent, but from a uh
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: real stat point of view. But but I know he
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: gonna suit up at night, so that definitely makes a difference.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: That's a good point because I'm looking at what he
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: did today against the Lakers. He had a goose egg
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: scoring but he got six rebounds. Yeah, so yeah, talked
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: talked to the inconsistency, but he had five assists and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: he's still finished with fourteen fantasy points. So you know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: he had a still, he had a block, so he
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: did a lot of other things outside of scoring. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: still make him, you know, dependable, make him to be
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: able to play out your average thirty five point nine
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Fantasy points on the course of the season. So you
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: having a good fantasy year for sure.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he dependable from from that point.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, So so make make a note
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of that to the people out there when you're building
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: your squad. Make sure people you know, could do a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: little bit of everything. Like I say, McHale had a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: goose egg today, but he still finished with fourteen Fantasy
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: points because of the rebounds.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Assists, stills, blocks.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: You know you're looking for that, you know what I'm saying,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's what like the old school people say
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that they got your thumbprint all over the game. I
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: wouldn't call it that for him, but I think that's
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: one of those things like.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: He can have a night where he is his night.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: All right. So we're gonna we're gonna keep it pushing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna talk about the best fantasy player
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: this season. You know what I'm saying, Not necessarily the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: biggest name. But the flip side of Michal Bridge is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the person who consistently delivered, you know what I mean?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So keys you who you got?
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Mm hmmm, that's uh.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go with on my squad, I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: gonna say Bam.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: I already shouted out Paolo Bank Carrol was somebody that
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: consistently delivered from me. But uh, the next person is
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: probably Bam Bam out of byo.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, being a big you know he.
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: Gonna rebound, he gonna block shots.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: You know, he didn't put up some decent numbers for me,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: he averaging a little bit I think right at thirty
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: thirty one, thirty seven fantasy points.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: So you know that them solid numbers there. So I
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: might have to go with Bam on that one.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I had a fifty had a fifty point Fantasy game today, Yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I see that. Yeah, twenty four nine and six, So yeah,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: murder with a triple double. Yeah, Bam always been good,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: good production. That's a good one. That's a good one.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I like Bam. Who you got kJ.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: For me, it will probably be Jayleen Johnson and and
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: it would be Janni's too. But Yanna's but dealing with
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: some injuries, so consistency wise, it have to be Jayalen Johnson.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And I have I'm still tripped out, man. You was
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: able to get him back, Jayalen Johnson.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: I had to give up jew Holiday Brandon and.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah I gave now yeah like I get it, like
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you gave Yeah, you gave up.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: The call that a fleet Yeah, yeah was crazy. Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: I traded uh somebody for KD office team too.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. This ain't even the squad you started with.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, that's a whole new team. Yeah.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still losing.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had to get you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I had.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You won eight in the roto, so you was the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: hottest team in the league. Somebody had a knock y'all.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he had a good run.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had a hell of a ring.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Even got me caught me sleeping.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: You had the bub already in the bag when he
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: got you know.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, caught me sleeping, man, I heard it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was and that was the seven point loss.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I shouted out of it.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: That was I think that was the last episode.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out the seven point loss. So, yeah, that
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: was a closer. That was a nail bouy right there.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: So that was last week.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure y'all don't leave points on the board.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Make sure y'all loss.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: I left seventy five points on the table that d so. Yeah,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: that hurt me big time.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: That's a lot.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Like they say, you sleep your beat, you sleep, Yeah,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: you sleep your beat. Yeah.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I know. That's how I go my
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I ain't a lot my best player. When I'm factoring
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: in dependability and all that, I gotta go sing goom yo.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: He missed it. He missed a couple of games, you know,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: for illnesses, but he ain't really been hurt. You know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: He do his thing when he out there. He ain't
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the best score. I thought he was a better score
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: than what he actually is. But he one of the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: ones that do a little bit of everything too.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's solid.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah trip double thread.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, baby with baby yokics.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah mm hmm.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Them bigs, man, I'm a that's the one thing I
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: don't do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Hate that you can't have more than five bigs. The centers,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that would be my thing.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know you can't have all centers, but
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: them big is reliable man with the rebounding and the
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: h inside score.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: To me, that's definitely yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You will break the league though, that's the thing.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Oh you guys like clinging, like you got Donovan cleaning.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: That was a good scoop and you ain't never put
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: him back out there.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Oh nah nah, Yeah, I picked him up. I picked
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: him up and he put up numbers and I ain't
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: never let him go.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I think I might have mentioned him on like the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: second or third episode.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: And you did. You did.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: It was real early, and.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I know I saw you scooped him and I ain't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: gonna lie. He be hooping though he never watched every night.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, clinging, Yeah, so hey find value before everybody
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: else do. You're able to hold on to it. You're
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: able to clinch the buy like like he's a bid,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you know, by grabbing cleaning. So yeah, that was a
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: good scoop. That's good management work. That's what you want
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to see. That's what keep the lead competitive. That's what
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: helped you get to them Fantasy Championship runs too, you
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, They ain't just based on highlights,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: ain't based on your faceavorite player.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: You gotta go with the data over you know how
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you feel.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: About somebody, that's what's gonna help get them dubs.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: So all right, so we hear on the rookie impact,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So we you know, we talked about I know Castley
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and the rookie when we spoke about Harper and how
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the Spurs are loaded. You know what I'm saying, it's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a few rookies out there as Hooper. Uh you know, kJ,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I'm a swinging to you first. Who wish rookies stood
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: out the most to you this season?
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Probably had to be con Con Hooper.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't think he was gonna do all that.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: He probably he up there with threes too. I think
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: he may be leading for rookie wise.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he probably gonna win Rookie of the Year though
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I think Cooper probably have missed too many games. Yeah,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: that's yeah. I ain't gonna lot come with Charlotte Hoop
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and two though. That show you right there. They healthy.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: It's the healthiestday that been in a long time.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: It's late in the year and they I think I
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: saw Thursday, they was sixteen to three in their last
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: nineteen games, So they bothered.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, as long as lamellow ain't pulling half quarters. I
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: think they'll be all right.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Why are you hitting some of them too? Though? At
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the end of the night, Yeah, he had ten.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Ten threes.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Hmm yeah, yeah, so con that's a good one. So
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: if he was able to scoop him, good work, because
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: uh yeah he might he might win Rookie of the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Year this season. That's a great that's a great pick.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Kids.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: You who you got wich Ricky stood out the most
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: of you this season.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I guess I like vj eds calm.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: I just like his tenacis you know, just tough, yeah,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: all around, don't back down. Uh, just a strong rookie
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: that you know, gonna you know, he got to get better, so.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I know he even kind of flatten out a little bit.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, vj solid in my book. You know.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: You got that every year.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that old school game. Just just just tough mentally
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: and just gonna bring it every night. So yeah, that's
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: what slack.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: What's part of why you think he flatten out of it?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: But you think it's just inconsistency in the lineup or
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you know, or just that rookie wall. What'd you think?
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, probably a little bit of that, uh rookie
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: wall uh and probably just you know, not them not.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Winning it, you know consistently.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: You know, sometimes rookies don't shine as much as they
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: could when the team kind of start going on a
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: losing street, you know, injury with uh with them be
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: you know, all that probably played a factor. But but uh, yeah,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I feel like he's flatten out a little bit.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know he still have good games, but
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: like he came out the gate.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: High, Yeah he did.
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah did.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Then Paul George supposed to be coming back, I think, uh,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I believe March thirteen. So that's probably gonna mess with
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: his role a little bit.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: He definitely was good. He definitely had a strong start though. Yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: That kind of lead to the point though, you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Rickys tricky fantasy, you know what I mean, minutes, fluctuate roads, change, injuries,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: lineup switches. I'm sure with MB another day to day
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: guy that don't help, you know what I mean, you
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: don't know every day if he gonna play or not.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so but that's a good one though, I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: did he did start off strong, you know, VJ did
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Khan a strong one. So yeah, them two good picks.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You know, for the Rookers that stood out this season. Now,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be biased, though, I gotta go with Cooper,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I ain't gonna lie that
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: first probably that first month of the season, he didn't.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I know, Kid was talking about running him at point
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: to kind of make him grow. Yeah, he struggled. He
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: definitely struggled being at point early. But you know, right
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt here recently, I ain't a lot
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: he was on another level.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Coop, Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Coop solid. I mean he impressed me a little bit.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: I mean you heard his name a lot.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You know, coming into the season, so.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: You know, I was thinking, oh, maybe he a little overhyped,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: but but you know, hey, he stepped up, you know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: you know, he showed he had some talent.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I can't deny that he's tougher than what
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: he looked to go ahead.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I think Kid putting him at point guard
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: it hurt him at first, but I think he ended
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: up it definitely helped his confidence and him not being
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: worried about nothing once he got back to his regular position.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Mm hm yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true because the earlier
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: you could see it like him trying to facilitate for everybody.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Probably was too much, but in the long run, it's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: probably gonna it's gonna help him more than.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: It hurt him.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his decision making.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jean, Yeah, he athletic.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah he can go.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: He definitely.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he's a lot more athletic than I realized too.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: And he a look he physical.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: He looked like he wouldn't be that physical, but he
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: a little he physical mm hmmm.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he like he like a better Zion, my finion.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got the more perime in the games. I Yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I can see that.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you could tell you he ain't as lazy. He's
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: gonna play a little bit more defense. He's gonna run
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: a little bit more.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: That's true. So yeah, I had Cooper Flag, kJ had
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: khan Ka Nipple from Charlotte. Keyser had v j Edge
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Coon from Philly. Uh, you know them the rookies that
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: stood out to us. Let us know what rookies stood
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: after y'all tap in. Uh, we're gonna we're gonna keep
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: it pushing to the fantasy lessons from this season. You know, uh,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna talk about what the season taught
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: us about fantasy basketball. Uh, you know, what's the biggest takeaway? Keys,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you gotta come to you first. What's your biggest takeaway
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: from the season.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: That is fun?
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: You know, it's fun, you know, to keep you locked
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: into the game and make you more of a fan
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: of the game. Over the years, I always heard about
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: fantasy but I never took the time to really figure out.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: What it's really all about. But uh, for to say,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: this my first year playing, and I'm doing pretty good.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: I'm you know what, I'm top two in our league,
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: so so far, I'm having a good year.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: So I mean I can't complain about that. But yeah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: it was cool. It was fun. It was give me
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: something extra to do to keep up with you know.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So so you the one seed, you fourteen and two. Yeah, like,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: look like you're gonna get a dood today. So yeah,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: yeah that's a good takeaway. Yeah yeah, first year after gay, Yeah,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: what can I say? Yeah, I take complaining about that.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: So I'll be back okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I'll definitely be back that ship.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that's what we want. Yeah, for sure, keeping
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you keep it competitive.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: We need to.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: We need the top managers in the league. Yeah, I
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: like competing. So yeah, good point. Good point. So, okay,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: what's what's your biggest takeaway from the.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: How you start?
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: It all depends how you started that first draft and
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: just being a little more smart with who you pick
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: up because you may not be able to trade them.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: And also, yeah, it was just fun. I think I
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: think you need to have some uh, you need to
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: put some money on it though.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah that's what that's what we want. Yeah, that's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: what you want for.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Sure, so we'll put it. You heard it here, y'all.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I want to play in the league for bread. Hey
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: email me.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: You know, we got some slots that's gonna open up
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: for next season, so yeah, we're gonna that's what we're
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: trying to do.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make it more competitive.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually want to touch on the point though
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: you had about the draft. That's it's funny, that's what
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I said on on the football episode. But that's a
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: great point. Like most seasons really lost in the draft.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you got a bad draft. It's hard to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: recover from that because now you've got players that don't
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: nobody really won't. They ain't trying to really trade trade
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: for rather. So yeah, that's a great point. You know,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: seasons are won and lost at the draft. Great point.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: No, I was saying, the draft definitely is important. I mean,
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: you can get some good picks out the game. But
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: it seemed like just you know, managing it, you know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: just just just tapping in every day, just just you know,
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: taking a few minutes to look it up, you know,
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: look over it, pick up some streamers, you know. To me,
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: I think that went a long ways for me, Like
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: just getting fifteen twenty points, you know, from a couple
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: of streamers every day, making sure you got people playing.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I feel like I.
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: Want a bunch around just just tapping in every day,
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: you know, just making sure I'm looking at it.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, another great point. Make sure y'all managing. I ain't
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: gonna lot.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: That's how I play. I do streamers. I try to
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: stream every day, you know. So, yeah, you can win
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: or lose from a lack of you know, players or
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you streaming. You got yeah, because you might
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: pick up somebody who go crazy that night.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you get lucky. You get lucky every.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Now, Dan, Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, that's a good point too,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: you know, making sure you're streaming as well as a
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: great draft, and you're probably gonna have a good season.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: So it's that.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: So your biggest takeaway would that be the same as
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: what you learn from the fantasy basketball this year?
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah for sure. Yeah.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, it was all new to me,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: so I was learning as I go.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: So yeah, that was a big, a big part of it,
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: just learning that imagining aspect of it. It's gonna help
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: you win games. So yeah, that was that was definitely
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: a bigger takeaway from me.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: UKJ definitely agree with what he just said. Definitely a
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: big lesson just thinking about who who injury prone, who
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: not injury prone, who's gonna play who who just solid
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: all around?
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: So that's definitely.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Big, especially when you talk about injuries like Sacramento, they
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: started shutting people down and you start looking at some
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: of them people who was coming in replacing them. Some
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: of them have value.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: Sometimes those teams that just don't be good, they're gonna
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: end up sitting a good playoffs.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: So if you gotta if you got.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: A good player that's on the worst team in the league,
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: he ain't gonna better to put as many numbers as
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: if there was a better team.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't gonna yeah, I would agree with both
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: of them for takeaways, I ain't really gotten nothing different,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I think. Uh, I will say though, I'd like to
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I like to keep a couple of stream of spots
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: open unless you know there's some players that's that's just
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: too good to be out there. Uh. That would probably
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: be my takeaway to see that I learned is to
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: probably have more than one streaming spot if you can,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: if you could afford it, and uh, you know, but
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: if you can't, you know, at least get some stream
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: of paying attention to injuries, you know, stuff like that,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: because I look at uh, for example, with Sacramento, I'll
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: cute I brought and bring them up again. Uh and
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: uh it was a backup center right now. Nah, Raynard
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: was hurt, but Raynard did he did have a nice
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: little stretch, oh cardwell, dealing cardwell, he had a little
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: crazy stretch when Raynard had got hurt and then they
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: had shut down some bonus. So yeah, yeah, stuff like that,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I think you definitely got to pay attention to that's
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: a good that's a.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: That's that's a good point. I think we lost key.
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: I don't know what happened to him, probably wasn't checking
• 45:04
  Speaker 9: as Uh it's bad, bad.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: His phone will be dying.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, Well while we wait on him, I'm
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: gonna come back. Well, you the only one out here
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: who you don't want to see this quick fire, who
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: you don't want to see in our fantasy playoffs.
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: Spoke, I don't really care to spo you and.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: And uh, okay, why you feel like you got a
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: shot to win our league.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Because I don't beat Spoe and I just ain't beat you.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: But I beat you too early in the league though, whenever
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: you did with all those injuries.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: So you did. Yeah, nah, I ain't gonna lie.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: It was back and forth though I'm talking about the
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the lead.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah it was.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: So I'll go the same. I ain't gonna I don't
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: want to see you, Kidrick. I think I like my chances.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I like my chances regardless, but I ain't y'all three,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: y'all consistently been putting up a lot of points over
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the course of the season, especially you doing your win streak.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie you.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Scoring crazy numbers doing your win streak. So yeah, uh,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: so I definitely don't want I mean, I don't want
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: to see if I do see y'all, want to see
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: y'all later or in the championship round, I'll.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Say that, Yeah, I don't want to see you early.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Early. I think that's a recipe for disaster for sure.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: And then I feel like I got a shot. I
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: like my depth. I think I got a lot of talent.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Then I like that I got players. I don't have
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of players on the same team, so it's
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of chances for them to have, Like for
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: me to have ten guys playing a night, because everybody
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: typically on a different team.
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that kind of hurt me because I got Nazrie McDaniels.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: And and so.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: I saw that playing.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: It's good. But when they're not playing, that's three people
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: out right there.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's three people. That's your whole that's your entire bench,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: right that's not playing.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's yeah.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: So that's why I feel I got a shot.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: All right, you who you got?
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Who your finals prediction for the NBA.
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: It's just looking like it's up for anybody this year.
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: I really That's a hard question because it depends who
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: come out of them first rounds.
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: I think Detroit got a good shot, but I don't
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: think I don't think they got enough playoff experience to
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: win it. Okay, see they might do it back to back,
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: but I don't really see them winning it either. I
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: think Boston might be somebody to watch. Yeah, sleeping sleep
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: on them, and they gonna they gonna beat you.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: They will, especially especially if Tatum healthy.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if he healthy healthy.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: They mark it's March right now.
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: He even came back and he got April and June
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: or to get back in shape.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: By the time this is the second round, he may
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: be back to.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: How he was.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and he had a great debut two though,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: what he had sixteen to twelve, Like he had a
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: great day. Yeah, I know he ain't shoot it that good,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: but you know that's that's Bob.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: On with Tom right right.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: So he had a great day.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: So you so you so, I know you you gave
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: me reasons on why everybody could make it.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: But if you had to pick right now today who
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: making it, I'm gonna.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Just go with my team.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, see, just because they got the championship experience, and
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: yeah they don't really, they ain't dealing with no injuries
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: right now that that's not gonna hurt them in the playoffs, so.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: I think they got a pretty good chance of returning getting.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: The back to back, so you got, okay, see winning
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: at all?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, who you got them playing in the finals
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: out of the East.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: H I'm I'm gonna say Boston. Say Boston coming out
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: the East.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't in Boston.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: I don't see New York coming out New York.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: But the Knicks gonna nick.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they gonna They're gonna nick.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I hope they win it, but they gonna nick though,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, they gonna.
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: I ain't realize as an Okay, see fan, I am
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: scared to see the Spurs. They done beat us three
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: times in this regular season. We done beat everybody else though,
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: but they wouldn't be giving us problems.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: So I ain't gonna lie that. That's the only thing
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: that's keeping me from picking the Spurs to win the
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: way Now I'm gonna go.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick the Spurs. I think when you look.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: At who they play or when they play the top
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: teams over the course of this season. Yeah, they don't
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: beat pretty much everybody, I think except New York. I
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: think New York the only team they have struggled with.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: They didn't.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: They play New York the other day and.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: They beat them recently.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: You're saying recently, Yeah, recently, let me double check.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: I don't they I think they did.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: No.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think they did.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: I may be wrong, though, I thank you.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I think you right.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah they did?
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Uh no, no, no, So for the Cup, the Knicks one,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: the Knicks just won the other day March first, last Sunday,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: and then the Spurs beat them December thirty first, So
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: they one and two against the Knicks. Yeah, so I think, Uh,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: but I in a seven game at all, you know,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: that could be different.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: You know, they got going.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: But I got the Spurs. I got the Spurs coming
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: out West.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go, you know what, I'm gonna go.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Repeat the ninety nine Spurs Knicks for the for the finals,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: repeat then and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thirty years in
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the making.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: That'll be good. That'll be a good one though. It'll
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: be good to see both of those teams they make it.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I ain't a lie of a sleeper thout. I don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: trust Harden who but Cleveland. I wouldn't want to see them.
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: I don't got Cleveland just because of what they did
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: last year. There was number one seed killing everybody and
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: they and they went out the playoffs for the first round.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Uh second, they struck, they struggled, They did struggle with Orlando,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: and then they played uh the Pacers.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Pacers kill them boys.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how much of that you think it was Garland though.
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say all of it was Garland, but
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: he definitely play a part, just because he a key
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: part to their team, and I feel like he ain't
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: show up as as much as he needed to.
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: But yeah, but it's awesome.
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: I think it's it's they bench too, though I think
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: some of them bench players ain't step up how they
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: needed to.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't like one thing I think that Cleveland
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I think struggled with last season that they probably it
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: depends on which Hart and show up is. Donovan Mitchell
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: had to do too much for them to play, like
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: he had to do everything, whereas now he could just
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: be a score.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: Agree, and definitely hard and open up the flow for
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: them bigs.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: The lob threats.
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: And all that.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: Gardland wasn't doing that, so they kind of made Mostly
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: and Jared Allen look look like Blake Griffin and Deondre Geordan.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we know Harden really don't want
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: to score it like that either, Like he will if
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: he have to, but right now, at this point in
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: his career, he ain't trying to do all that scoring.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: So I think that's what made Cleveland a little different.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: But that'll be my sleeper, you know. Uh, then our West.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: I don't thank y'all sleeper, but I wouldn't be surprised
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: if y'all win again. So and that's okay. See, so yeah,
