  Speaker 2: before that, I mean, just as a company, we've been
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we've been killing. I mean the team and the community
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that we have in all in all different sports. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: mean whether it's NHL, college football, NFL baseball, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: now we get to start NBA. You know, golf's always there, MMA,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the studs are there. Yeah, it's been a lot of fun.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So you know a lot of these guys here watching
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the show. You guys don't might not be subscribed, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we got a nice little promo code. You know that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: we're that we're working on that we want everybody to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: be a part of. We don't want to miss it out.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: We'll get it out of the way early. NBA fifteen,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we get to lock into fifteen percent discount
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: on the entire website.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Now, a lot of these places around.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: The industry, one sport might cost one hundred bucks, one
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks a month, does not include it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: include an optimizer. But here with NBA code or with
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: code NBA fifteen, I mean, we get all the sports.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Like I said, you know, we have killers all over
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this company, Killers in the community and discord. I had
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun this morning, you know, opening up
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the NBA discord. It took me twenty minutes to read
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: through everything because I woke up a little bit later
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: than normal. But this is something we don't want to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: miss I believe it's fifty eight dollars a month if
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you put in this promo code with no optimizer, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: if you include the optimizer, the ship deemiser, we are
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I believe it's eighty four dollars a month, so just
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: under three dollars a day. It's a steal compared to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: everybody else in the industry. And then you throw in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: how every sport has just been on fire, you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it seems on the Twitter streets, on the X streets,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's been a little quiet around the industry except for us.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Except for us.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Every week we have big time winners, two hundred K winners,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: one hundred K winners, one hundred dollars into a thirty
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: some off thousand on a nice football Sunday.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But we definitely don't want to miss out on this.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So all the all the guys that are watching this,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you know on YouTube, kind of figuring out where to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: go with during the season.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: No better place than the nation, no better place.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: YEP, can not agree more Yeah, they want to give
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: a shout out to everybody in the shout all the
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: usual suspects. I know, you guys have been absolutely crushing
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: it during preseason, during WNBA all that stuff, So you
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: guys know who you are happy to have you guys back.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Here absolutely, Man, we're just looking through usual suspect suspects.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, takedown Sean, go collect Para Bay. You know
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we got everybody in here title. You know, Tambo's in here,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Nads is in here. So we're excited to get going. Man, Hey,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: before we dive into kind of a tight little two gamer,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: you know, do you have any thoughts on the slate.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Obviously we're gonna get you know, into a breakdown a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: game by game, team by team, but as a whole man,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love NBA how it kind of starts
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: off slow a couple of games. You know, you're not
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: getting ten eleven games whatever it may be on one slate.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I like kind of breaking it in nice and slow,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: get to watch both the games on TV. Any thoughts
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: before we dive into this game and kind of go
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: team by team, game by game, player by player.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess just like a broad slate overview kind
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: of strategy topic is, like, you know, you could just
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: play out both games being competitive. I think another way
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: to kind of do it a little to get a
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: little different if you if you have one hundred fifty
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: lineups or twenty lineups even kind of just going all
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: in on one game versus the other. You know, you
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: obviously have to play guys from both games, but you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: mixing some of the cheap value piece that might play
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in a blowout that we'll mention, like a you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like a Peyton Pritchard, like a Duce McBride, something like that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and then just going all in on the tim Wolves
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Lakers game for example, something you could do strategy wise.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: But I'm not expecting any sort of crazy blowouts tonight.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Obviously you have the the returning champs, the Celtics taking
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: on the Nick. So I think that I think the
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: most likely thing is both games play play out pretty competitive,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and we get some big DFS scores early on.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, Vegas agrees.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I believe it's twenty two and a half and two
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: twenty one and a half. Obviously banner night out there
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in Boston. But but no, hey, where do you want
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to start? Man?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Let's let's get it going.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I'll let you kind of take the mic here and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: then I'll kind of chime in with some stuff after
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I let you rock.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll start with some of the injury stuff because
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I think it is pretty important early on, we know
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: that the Celtics going to be without Christos porzingis for
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a good while. They're saying sometime in December is when
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: he's going to look to return, but it could be
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: even longer. You get a couple guys getting older to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Al Horford, Drew Holliday definitely not young bucks anymore, so
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: we might see a little bit of a step forward
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: for some of these younger guys like a Pritchard like
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I mentioned. But yeah, I mean Horford was kind of
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: limited throughout the preseason, didn't really play a bunch. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: think he suited up just for one game and was
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: pretty limited in that game. So not expecting big minutes
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: from from those guys. And then on the Knick side,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be without and Andrew shamittt, Presco's Octua and
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson. Seems like the Knicks are always short handed.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You always get these huge minutes from guys like Josh Hart.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Like you know, obviously Bronson McBride filled in a bunch
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: last year, and we know that Tibbs loves to just
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: run these guys into the ground, so I'm not expecting
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: anything different from them, even to start off the season.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I would not be surprised to see a couple a
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: couple of guys get you know, forty minutes, maybe maybe
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: right around forty minutes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Definitely Josh Hart most likely is to do that. He's
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: you know, he was kind of an iron man last year.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: But yeah, from a broad slate review of or just
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: a macro standpoint of this game, it does have the
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: higher total, which I'm kind of surprised with. I am
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: kind of expecting to just want to play out a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: little bit slower paced and more of a defensive battle.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Both these teams were super solid last year defensively. Celtics
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: were a second overall defensive team, behind another team on
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the slate, the.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Wolves, who were number one overall, but we'll get to
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: that later. And then the Knicks were ninth overall but
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: also played with the slowest pace in the league. The
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Knicks ranked dead last there and Celtics were twelveth, So
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: definitely not a game where you're gonna see a ton
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of scoring.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think both these guys very solid defensively, so yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of expecting a little bit of a slower
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: paced game. But yes, it starts up top with with
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns. I know we got
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of Knicks fans in the chat that were,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you know, the the early early outlook on the Cat
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: trade was that they might have been the losers.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: I was kind of, you know, team Cat.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a pretty good trade all round
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: for what these teams were trying to accomplish. But yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I mean the Knicks were kind of they were they
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: needed some extra scoring help last year, and Kat is
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: going to do great job of that forty three point
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: shooter in his career. The two man game looked really
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: good in the preseason for them. We know that these
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: are gonna be the two main usage guys, so the
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: fall is gonna be in their hands a bunch. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: then from a match of standpoint for Brunton, obviously tougher
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: matchup against Drew Holliday and Derek White, but Brunston was
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: one of the top pick and roll scorers last year,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and that was pretty much the only category you could
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: attack the Celtics from from match of standpoints. So I
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: don't think that Brunson is is Definitely he's not out
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a play at all, even at this price tag on
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: this small slate.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I definitely like him.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: He was okay in the matchup last year, averaged twenty
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: seven twenty seven points, two point four rebounds, five points,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: four assists, good for forty one point four DK points.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: But yeah, like I said, Timms is going to play
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: these guys a bunch of minutes, so you have that
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to fall back on. But yeah, I think that Grintine
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Town's probably probably the best play on the entire slate.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: He looks to be way too cheap. Usage rate was
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: really good in the preseason. It's gonna be him and
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Brunson doing all the head lifting. He was a one
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: point four to three fantasy point minute producer last year,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: which you can see right here on the stone, which
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: is you know, that's elite levels. The downside risk here
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: is that he's not the best defender. He has a
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: tough time keeping his hands to himself, very very foul prone.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You do have a couple of guys on the Celtics
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: that can draw fouls like Jalen Brown Jason Tatum, who
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: are going to be attacking the rim. But yeah, I mean,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I just you can't really predict the foul trouble. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: don't think I want to look into it too much.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I just I really like Kat tonight, so he's probably
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: gonna be definitely a core play and probably the best
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: player on the entire slate in my opinion. And then
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: to kind of round things out, you kind of three
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: guys that are very similar with Josh Hart, Mikail Bridges,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Ojan Andobi. I'm gonna fill out the wing. I guess
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Heart is like technically their shooting guard, but they're all pretty.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Much wing guys.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I don't really have a strong lean on all of them.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: There's all pretty low usage guys. Mickail Bridges seems to
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: be the worst of the bunch at the current price
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: tag almost seven K, which is kind of what you're
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: paying for him last year when he had a bigger role,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: So I don't He's probably the least favorite of the three,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and I would definitely prefer Josh Hart the most, just
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: at the price tag. We know the minutes are going
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to be safe, doesn't really have any you know, injury
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: history to kind of be worried about. He was really
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: good in this matchup last year, and four out of
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the five games scored no less than twenty four and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a half DK points, but was topping thirty four DK
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: points in three of the five games.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I really like Josh Hart a lot.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: And then Og is kind of just a kind of
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: profiles like a last man in type person for me,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: gonna be guarding Jason Tatum, which brings a little bit
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: of foul risk, but you know, Ogi's usually pretty good
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: at not drawing or not giving up too many fouls.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I would I would rank it
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Josh Hart, Og, and then Bridges definitely pricing considered those
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: guys are my favorites. And then just a touch touch
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: on the bench guys pretty quickly because I do think
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: this is a pretty big decision. Point is the Mouths
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: of Bride campaign. Jericho Simms had a little bit of
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: talking discord about.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: PUCOMI da day.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I pronounced that right, but yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of expecting a pretty big role from McBride
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: off the bench, especially with you know, doctor de Vincenzo
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: shipped off to Minnesota. They're gonna be without Landry Shammitt,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: gonna be without the frontcourt guys. But it's you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: they can kind of like trickle down from a rotation standpoint.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: So I think that McBride is probably the safest value
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: on the slate at the price tech he's at. Had
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: a very good role in the preseason as well, pretty
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: pretty high usage in comparison to his numbers last year.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But I don't really want to, you know, buy into
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: that too much because we know it's going to be
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: mainly Brunson and co. Anthony Town's taken up all the
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: usage there, and I kind of just think that campaign is,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he's gonna get the the backup point
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: guard minutes, which there really shouldn't be too much to
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: go around. We know Brunson plays you know, thirty six
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: thirty eight minutes nightly, So I don't really want to
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: pay more for campaign than McBride when he's gonna have
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: a worse role. And then Simms, Yeah, it's mainly I
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: guess it's kind of a leverage point on the slate
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: because if you do believe that Conthine Towns gets in
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: a foul trouble, which is, you know, it's happened a bunch,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: he's done it. You know, three fouls in this first
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: rotation or something like that is not not out of
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the question. But Sims does make sense as a as
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: a leverage play. You know, punt really low usage and
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: low fantasy floor print producer. But yeah, he's really just
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: a leverage point. I'm not looking to get to him
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: in many of my land's definitely not in single entries
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: or anything like that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna jump in here. You know my question.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure we have some questions in the chat
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: regarding it. You brought up Cat's foul troubles and Sims
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: being a nice little kind of you know, contraying leverage
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: play here on a two game slate, obviously on a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: two game slate and in basketball in general, it's gonna
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: be tough to predict, you know, foul trouble. Is there
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a certain way that you go about kind of thinking
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: about that, you know, throughout the season, specifically on a
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: two game slate and then kind of as a whole
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that? I know you can't
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: really predict it. Obviously, it's like an injury if you will,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: maybe in tougher matchups, but you have anything to kind
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: of speak on regarding that now.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: I mean there's really only a couple of guys where
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I really get a little scared off about playing the
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: opposing player, Like if kat was going up against Jowel Embiid,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Like you know, Embiid just gonna run in, put his
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: head down and try to get to the foul line.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, Tatum is you know, he's just a three
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: point shooter, not just a three point shooter. Obviously does everything,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: but he he kind of lives around the perimeter a
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: little bit more. The one guy Wo'd be a little
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: bit worried about is Jalen Brown getting to the rim.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: But I mean he's going to be going against al Horford.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Don't have to worry about him committing too many fouls
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: against him. So yeah, not really something like you can
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You definitely can't predict that, And I don't really think
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: that we need to look into it too much. Like
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I said, it's really just like in one hundred and fifty,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: maybe you sprinkle in you know, three to five percent
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: sims and play him away from Carnthona Towns.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that's about it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, personally, you know, and tell me if you disagree,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: But those would be if I'm making one hundred and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: fifty lineups, I won't be doing that on a night
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: like tonight. Tonight, I'm gonna be kind of you know
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: what Tamba mentioned in the chat. You know, it's kind
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: of keeping that one to five lineups. You know, haven't
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: really built a handful of them yet. But if I
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: was making, you know, a large amount of lineups, that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a pretty easy swap, including.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: The McBride swap. We don't we don't like it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: McBride's you know, by far and away, you know in
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the in the industry agrees as far as ownership goes, uh,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: probably the top value play on the slate. But that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: how I would kind of mess around with Pain a
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: little bit, you know, just make lineups and go Pain
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: instead of McBride. And you know, we're we are playing
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the two games late with two hundred k up top
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: on DraftKings, where it's tough to get different because these
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: games kind of play themselves out. But personally speaking, those
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: would be the two easy spots to kind of swap
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and then I'll just touch on some before I let
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you rock again.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: O G.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Personally, I kind of find him as the odd man out.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: You know, there was some some talks a little bit
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: about Josh Hart not shooting as much fifty three hundred.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He's going to be on the floor a lot, but
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you know, tough matchup with with Tatum on the other side.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So obviously he plays a lot of minutes and fills
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: up to the statue. But Heart far and away is
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: just so much easier to click, especially if those ownerships
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: are are as as close as we show here today.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I definitely agree with you. I mean,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: we've seen Josh Hart just like he's a rebounding machine too.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: He's not really going to be tasked with guarding, you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: one of the better offensive players on the other side. Yeah,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I just think that the floor is very safe for
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Josh Hart versus oj and Nobu. Who's I mean, Yeah,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's You're gonna be expending a ton
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: of energy going up against Tatum on the other side,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: So definitely he falls in between Josh Hart and Bridges
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: for me, but definitely prefer Heart. I know we've got
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: some guys talking about Michael Bridge's shooting for him in chat.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Definitely forgot to mention that, I don't if you've seen
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: those those videos, but I don't.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Often the one that I thought was he was they
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: said he shot with Markel Folts all off season.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, that's like taking free throw lessons from
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: from shock or something like.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, but.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on there. His form looks different.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: He was a pretty solid shooter before that. I mean
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: it the buts aside from like the actual look of
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: his shot now the the outlook, I mean, the performance
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't good either, shot two for nineteen from three
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: point in the preseason. So yeah, that's a that's rough.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Not sure what what made him change, but hopefully you
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: can get that figured out.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I NBA.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it's so fun to watch these guys get
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: so much better. Like a guy will talk about with
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: in Pritchard. He's a good example. I think you might
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: have mentioned it in the right up, but he just
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: gets better every year. And so it's tough to see
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: these players that you know, are young kind of on
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the up and up and are good players kind of
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: make tough decisions like that. Now we all could be
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: wrong and it could be ugly, and it could go
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: in every time as soon as the season starts, but
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: not a good feeling to start anything else. You want
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to kind of chat about the Knicks before we you know,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: kind of slide on over to something else.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Now, I think we covered it pretty good.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Kat far and away the best play on the Knick side.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Then I think it's pretty clear Brunson Brunston falls behind him,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: and then McBride really good, really.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Good value tonight, absolutely love it. Yeah, So touch on
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: the Celtic side of things.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I already mentioned that christs Porzingis is going
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to be out definitely has a big, a big outlook
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: on the or change on the usage side. From the
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Celtics side, we saw pretty much everybody sees a pretty
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: big usage mump. I'll touch on them as we get
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: go player by player, but obviously it's going to be
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Tatum that leads away for them. Mentioned the matchup being
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: very tough against oj and Obi was you know, Tatum
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: was okay in the matchup last year against the Knicks
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: average twenty six point two, six point six and five
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: point eight forty eight d K points per game, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: the only matchup against oj while Og was on the Knicks,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: he only got to eighteen points and thirty nine draftings points,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: a very small sample. Obviously he can go off any night.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: What I do like is that Tatum was another guy
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: that just gets better every single year. It seems like
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: kind of came into the league being a little bit
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: more athletic. I know people mentioned it that you know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: his like, well, the cool kids say his his bag
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: got worse as he got older. But I mean, he
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: just got better, and I think that the the athletes
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: kind of speak for themselves. So yeah, I mean, as
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: much as I dislike the individual matchup for Tatum, he
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: does have triple double upside. Definitely has double double upside,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: and he showed it in the last preseason game. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: think he had eight rebounds, eight assists in that one.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: That's like, you know, that was like a dress rehearsal
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: kind of you know, playing twenty eight thirty minutes or
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: whatever it was. Yeah, the non Chris holsporzingis minutes he
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: sees the biggest you should useage bump of the starters
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: at plus three point three percent overall, See, I think
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: that even like positionally wise, he he's gonna be one
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: of the better spins on the slate. And yeah, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: think that he's he's definitely good aside from the matchup,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: but yeah, finals MVP Jaylen Brown definitely has a much
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: softer matchup. The two gonna be seeing Michael Bridges, you know,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: a mixture of him and Josh Hart, gonna be looking
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to attack the rim all night long. Much easier matchup
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: going up against Kat than it would be against you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: like a Mitchell Robinson or anything like that. But yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: he was also not great in this matchup, only went
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: for I think it went for twenty seven point draftings
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: points in or less in three of the five games,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: and then forty and forty and the other two, so
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: kind of balance out a little bit average, you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: in the mid thirties or whatever it is. But yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: obviously another guy's gonna benefit from no porzingis he averaged
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: forty three point seven DK points per thirty six minutes
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: with Christops off the floor last season, so I would
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: expect that to hold up this year as well. And
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: then I'll just touch on the the old heads real quick.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Drew Holliday and Al Horford. I definitely am expecting how
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: to be limited to start the season. I think that
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: he gets capped in like the you know, twenty two
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: to twenty four ish minutes range. Was held out pretty
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: much the whole preseason, only played one game. Drew a
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: little bit different. He's obviously not as old as as
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Al Horford. Generally done a pretty good job staying healthy
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: throughout his career, but in the sample last year at
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: five games and that they met last year, he only
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: went for thirty seven draftings points once and was pretty
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: much underwhelming, and all the other games went for twenty
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: eight Draftings points.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Are fewer.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: It's a two game slate, so that that might be enough,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: But I think I do prefer from just like a
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: peer upside standpoint, Derek White a little bit better stylistically,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: not a great matchup. Knicks to one of the best
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: three point defensive defensive teams last year, and Derek White's
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: going to get most of his points from there, but
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: he was extremely efficient last Year's a three point shooter.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: It's you know, it's basketball, there's you know, it's sports.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: There's high variants every game. So definitely has a good
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: chance to to pay off the tag tonight. Definitely liked
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the upside for him, and he was really good last
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: season without Porzingis on the court, average thirty eight point
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: six DraftKings points per thirty six minutes, second best usage
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: bump on the team as well plus three percent.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: So like him a lot.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I already mentioned Horford not really looking to get to
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: him tonight. And then yeah, Peyton Pritchard, I'm pretty high
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: on him this year. If I lived in the legal
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: betting state, might place a long shot, dark horse bet
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: on him to be six Man of the Year. Probably
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: won't get there, because you know, you got a lot
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: of other studs like Milke, Monk and Nasried. But yeah,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I mean he's been talked up a lot in the preseason.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Like you said, he gets better each and every year.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I think he's pretty safe from the game script standpoint.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: If the game blows out, he's gonna be out there
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: run the show. If the game's close, he's still going
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: to see his eighteen to twenty minutes. We'll see all
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: the non Derek White and non Drew Holliday minutes. So yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I like him from a gamescrip standpoint, very safe. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: then got huge upside at the price tag. I think,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: aside from from nas Reed, he's probably got the highest
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: upside of all the bench guys on the entire slate.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Tonight.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Will probably throw Induce McBride in there as well. Yeah,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: really really high on Payton Pritchery coming into the season,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: and I like him a lot tonight. And then the
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: last one I mentioned, big man Luke Cornett probably gonna
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: be filling in those backup center minutes behind Al Horford,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: who I mentioned not expecting to get a lot of
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of burn tonight. Yeah, he's been really good
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: in the preseason as well. It's the thing that's tough
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: about playing a gully Cordinette, especially on DraftKings there he's
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: center early eligible, and you have guys like Cornthony town
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: So I mentioned being one of the better players in
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the slate, Anthony Davis is in the later game. He's
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: probably got the highest upside on the entire slate. Even
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert is you know, mid six k's. So can't
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: you come up with two of these guys. Not sure
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I want to get down to Cornett in place of
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: a d or Rudy Gobert, but I'll definitely be playing
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: some of him in my one hundred and fifty line
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: of tonight.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Love It man. Couldn't agree more.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I have a couple of thoughts and kind of questions
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: for you with it being two games though, anybody in
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: chat that kind of wants throw out a strategy question,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: kind of something that we might not get to on
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a normal slate, throw those out here. We're gonna pick
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a couple of them in between games and kind of
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: chat about those.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think Horford gets that much run in my opinion,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And and with with the center eligibility only for Cornette,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: it makes it tough because like you said, I mean,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: we have Anthony Davis, we.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Have Kat you know, we're going to talk about go
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Bear the next game.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: It just it becomes, you know, for me that I'm
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: most likely personally in one lineup gonna play two centers.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: So if you know, really wishing he had that extra
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you know, power forward eligibility, Unfortunately he doesn't. Peyton Pritchard
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: is going to be, you know, my guy all season.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so much fun to watch him play.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And uh, and like you said, in close games he
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: plays and then you know, he'll get the final six
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: minutes of run in a nice little blowout, and that's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: always great because he produces fantasy points so fast. I'm
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: not on the Drew holiday train, you know, like you
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: had mentioned earlier. I don't know how they're going to
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: monitor his minutes, but I think his price tag is
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: just a touch too high for if he gets you know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: four or five less minutes than he's used to. And
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and yeah, so I mean you talked about Derek White.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I can't find myself there personally, but you're the man.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: You know what's going on a little bit more than
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I do. But I would rather go to, you know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: spend up a little bit more and get a little different.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Having Jaylen Brown be on there. I think he's got
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the chip on his shoulder. I think Jason has the
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder too. They're hanging the banner tonight.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I know it's a tough matchup, but couldn't agree more
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: with any of the things that you said.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I see some talking and chat about some of
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: the back end rotation guys like like Walsh for the Celtics.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Would not expect him to get any I mean, maybe
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: if the gamebal Is out, he'd be in there, but
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I don't really think he's going to get in there.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Austin generally pretty much going to run a prototypical center
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Most nights.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit, a little bit different, a little
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: bit harder with not having Porzingis in there. But yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I think they're generally gonna run a traditional center out there,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: which is why I like Cornette a lot as a
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: value play. Take one more question from Diz. I don't
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: really think you need to rule yourself out, as Hoople
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: likes to say of you know, like the optimal. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: don't really look to make any rules like that, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I would be considerate about I guess which guys you're
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: playing like, for example, probably wouldn't want.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Probably would not want two of Derek White, Drew Holliday,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: and Paynon Prichard. Just something like that. For example.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I get I can touch on some other rules in
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the Lakers Timberwolves game, but I guess same would probably
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: go for Like, I don't really think that two I
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: don't think that three of or all three of Bridge's
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: heart oh Gin and Obi would get there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I'll probably make a rule to not have.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: More than two of them, but I have to see
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: how the lineup shakeout if I do have them all
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: three in some lineups.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: What would I have my thought in process? What would
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: be your Max Nicks exposure on a two game slate
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: like tonight. Obviously, like you said, obviously no Heart o G.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Bridges.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But is there you know, a Brunson, Karl, Anthony Towns McBride,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and maybe a fourth that you could see yourself getting
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: to if you're making a handful of lineups.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I think that four is very reasonable
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: in this slate. I think in like a single entry,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: you could definitely feel pretty happy by your lineup starting
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: with for sure Kat, probably Heart McBride, and then and
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: then Brunt into around things out. I think that's a
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: that's a pretty solid start. I would I would not
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: mind that at all.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Love that, Love that all right, late game got the
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Lakers playing. I think it's a seven thirty tip our time.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: That's one thing, you know, I am happy about being
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: on the West Coast. You know, we have to stay
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: up super late to watch these games. It is a
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: little bit tough, you know, waiting all day. But excited
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: for this year, Excited for the West Coast, basketball. I'm
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: excited to watch Ant play. I think this is gonna be,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of his is coming out party. If
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: it hasn't already happened, I think it's even more now.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: We do have a couple of guys in this game,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like you had mentioned before, that are kind of battling
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: with Father Time.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: But excited.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know where you want to start, if you
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: want to start Timberwolves or Lakers, but this is by
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: far my favorite game.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of Father the time, we even have the
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: father son duo in this game. Little little tamboism right there. Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. I'm definitely excited for this game.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's a seven pm tip off. I'm not mistaken.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I got to double the right.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm really excited for this game.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: We do have very big prize pools tonight for for showdown,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: which is not always the case, so definitely get in
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the streets. I will be posting the slate plan shortly
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: after the main slate locks.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: But yeah, if I was if I was.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Sacking in a game, this is the one that I
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: have a little bit more interest in sacking up. Yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: like I mentioned earlier, like that, I just think that
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the Celtics Knicks game could play a little bit slower paced,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit lower scoring, whereas this one Lakers were
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: really no, they were not good defensively last year. They
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: were middle of the pack when when the season was over,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: seventeenth overall, but they were just bleeding three pointers to
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: opposing teams. They were bottom three and three pointers allowed
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: per game, and the Timberwolves were the best overall defensive team.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think that like kar Anthony Towns really had
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: much to do with that. I think that shipping him
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: off for Julius Randall's probably more of a lateral move
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: than an upgrade or downgrade. Randall is definitely not known
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: for being a defensive beast or anything like that. Yeah,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: it's really it's Rudy Gobert and Jada McDaniels that are
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the anchors for the team. Defensively, they were, I mean,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: they were great all around the board, number one overall
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: in rim scoring and third overall and three point defense.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: And this is just a one game slate, So like
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: if this was a you know, eight ten games slate,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have nearly as much interest in the guys
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: that we're going to talk about. But yeah, I think
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: that an interesting talking point is the new look Lakers
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: offense under JJ Redick. You know, obviously, if you've been
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: watching basketball for a while, you know who JJ Redick is.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: He was a very good three point shooter. I think
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: he's gonna want to apply some of those same principles
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: of his personal game to the Lakers offense. Kind Of
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the big talking point last year was how bad the
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Lakers were.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Shooting the ball.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: They didn't really have anybody to help out with Lebron
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: and Anthony Davis. I mean, Reeves and Dilo did as
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: much as they could at times, but they don't really
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: have that that pure shooter that I think that they
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: need for this this team's personnel. But yeah, I mean
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: adding guys like Dolan connect who I'll talk about a
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: little bit, really excited about him. And then a possible
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: breakout candidate, Max Christy, who's been kind of getting talked
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: up a bit. I mean, I don't really think that
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: he's super talented, but the role could be there for him.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: But also are on the on the temperaole side of things. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: you mentioned Anthony Edwards.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I think this is a pretty big breakout season for
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: him if he can even build upon how good he
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: was last year, uh, you know, led the team to
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Western Conferences finals, crazy game seven comeback against Denver.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: He's definitely the engine of this team. He's the leader.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I don't really love that they added Julie Randall to
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: his fantasy outlook, just because if you know me like
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I do, like Juicie Randall's a player, but I don't
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: really like what he does for offenses. He's a kind
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: of a black hole offensively. When the ball touches his hand,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: it's it might just stay there for seventeen seconds of
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: the shot clock and then he'll he'll put up a prayer.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: But I think that for the most point, the ball
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: is going to be an Ant's hand. He had a
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: really good use situated thirty five percent last season with
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Kat off the floor, and the matchup is probably one
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: of the best on the entire slate. Lakers were a
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: bottom nine in DVP versus shooting guards, as well as
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: being one of the worst three point defense in the league.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I think that the Wolves are making it a making
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: a point of emphasis to get him going shooting the ball.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: He had a lot of a ton of three point
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: attempts in the preseason this year. So I think this
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: is a really really good not a get right spot,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: but this is a it's just a great matchup for him.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: So I love Aunt as a spend up tonight. As
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: far as Julius Randall goes, it's the question is how
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: healthy is he? You know, he set out for most
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: of the preseason, had the shoulder injury, but he did
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: return in the last game, which was you know, like
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: a dress rehearsal, played twenty six minutes, didn't play the
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, had a right around a twenty three percent
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: usage rate, which is what I'm hoping to expect from
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: him with this team.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, the matchup is not great Gonna.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know if Anthony Davis is gonna be gonna
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: be on him personally, but he's definitely gonna be down
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: there helping, you know, helping around the rim. But the
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Lakers were towards the bottom of the half in DVP
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: rankings versus power forwards last year. Definitely prefer Aunt to
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Randall as a one v one. But it is interesting
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: that Randall's coming in as one of the lower owned guys.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: And I mean I wouldn't be surprised going back to
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: LA for Randall if he just this game is in La,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: right thing is, yes, I had to make sure you
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: got that right, But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: he just does the ball hog and stuff. And as
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: much as I would suck for the game environment or
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: just the other players, will be really good for him
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: from a DFS perspective. So probably want to get slightly
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: over the field on Randall. Don't love the spot, definitely
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: prefer ant, but don't mind him. Another strong center position
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: or center play tonight is Rudy Gobert. He's gonna be
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: out there, minutes are gonna be safe, Gonna need his
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: defense against Anthony Davis. He's been great in the matchup
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: the last three. They played three times last year and
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: he was awesome. Average fifteen point three points, fourteen point
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: two rebounds or fourteen rebounds to assist and then three
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: point four stocks, which was the average right around forty
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: three DK points per game. Very strong center position tonight
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: that has Ad Karnton Towns with Cordnetts some other guys,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: but definitely want to get to some of him, and
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I think that he's coming in we have him pretty
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: low owned tonight. If I'm not mistaken, I believe.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: In their right now. Okay, yeah, so I'm not.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Super loan, but would probably be definitely gonna be lower
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: than a D and uh in Carlton Towns, I.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Would imagine, Yeah, absolutely, And then some of these secondary guys.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I'm really high on Jade McDaniel's this season kind of
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: caught up with some of the beat writers that were
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: talking him up and saying that, like, pretty much, what
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: does he need to do to become a star in
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the league, which I don't think like he might be
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: getting a little overlooked just come into the season because
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: they added Devincenzo to Randall and they still have an
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: and and Rudy Gobert. But yeah, I mean, I'm pretty
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: excited to see what he can do. They they were
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: giving him a little bit more usage in the preseason,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of dribble handoff stuff, and he kind
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: of showed that he can do a little bit more
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: than just stay in the corner and be a shooter.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: His passing was actually surprisingly really good. I'm gonna have
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: a tough, tough task, not gonna be defending Lebron, which
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: you know, that that could just you know, he gets
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: tired defensive end, not be doing too much offensively. But
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: he's a young guy. I don't really worry about that
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: too much. But from in defst terms, he could definitely
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: pay off this tag. Because I mentioned how bad the
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Lakers were in three point shooting last year, we saw
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: a couple of games in the playoffs where McDaniels just
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: absolutely went off. You know, he just needs to see
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: a couple go down and then it could just be
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: be game on from there. And I think that he's
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: actually coming in as one of the lower on plays
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: on the entire slate. I from the mistake and I
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: was seeing ye. Yeah, I mean that's that seems like
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: a really really good spot to get overweight on. It's
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: it's pretty obvious that it's coming from him being priced
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: the same as Josh harden Og Andnobi. But I mean,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: if you just go one of those two with Perry
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: with McDaniels, I think that that kind of gives your
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: lamp enough enough low on plays that it could pay
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: off in a big way. But yeah, I'm pretty excited
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: about McDaniels this season. Hopefully he starts off pretty hot tonight.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Then Mike Conley kind of falls into same bucket as
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: like the Al Horford type plays.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: He's definitely not young anymore. Don't expect him. I don't.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I don't even think like when he was kind of
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: peaking last year in terms of playing playing time was probably,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: you know, still capta like twenty seven to twenty eight
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: minutes on the high end. Definitely had games where he
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: got into like the low thirties. But yeah, I mean
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: they added Devincenzo Gonna. I think they're pretty fine putting
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Aunt at the point guard position. They still have Nicole
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Alexander Walker, they have a couple other guys that might
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: mix in, like dealing him and Minot. So yeah, I'm
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: I'm Mike Conley is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: A possible X out for me.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: We'll see though, We'll see see hYP projects and how
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: he fits into some of the builds. And yeah, on
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Dante DiVincenzo, he had a really really strong role in
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: the preseason, very similar to McDaniels. They were using him
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: in those dribble handoff situations. Dante was lights out in
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the playoffs last year from three point range. That's the
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: area the Lakers struggled with the most. So yeah, I'm
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: definitely gonna play a good amount of Dunca de Vincenzo
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: point guard shooting eligible tonight, which is kind of interesting
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: thought he'd be shooting guard small forward. But yeah, definitely
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: definitely gets to him a bit. And then yeah, Nos
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: reed Is is kind of rounding out the the bench rotation.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Gonna be a high usage guy coming off the bench.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Was really good last year one point zero seven fantasy
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: points per minute, averaging right around twenty four minutes a game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: A couple of things going for him too. One is
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: if Rudy Gobert gets in a foul trouble, would imagine
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: he steps up. And then also if we don't if
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Jewis Randall is at all limited with the with the
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: injuries coming into the season, nas Is gonna probably get
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: up to like twenty seven to twenty eight minutes. The
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: thing I am worried about though, with with Randall being
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: such a high usage guy that I don't really know
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: how Naz fits into the scheme if they're sharing the
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: court together. I'm hoping that they get to this get
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: staggered a lot, but yeah, that would not be not
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: be ideal to have him alongside Julis Randall and then
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: these bench guys. I don't really think I'm trying to
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: get to anybody below nas Reed. We're definitely gonna see
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: some Niak Alexander Walker at some point, but generally just
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: a really low usage guy, low fantasy point commuted producer
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: point five six fantasy points per minute last season. And
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: then kind of the question is like, who's going to
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: fill in the rest of rotation. I would imagine Ingles
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: has some role in this offense. Maybe that's just you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a six minute rotation in each half. And then the
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: the young guys like Dillingham and Mino, where do they
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: fit in? So yeah, I think that it's definitely Anthony
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Edwards the top, really like Gobert as a as a
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: center play, like the the ownership projection on guys like
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Randall and McDaniels, And then I think Devincenzo and Nasri
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: make a ton of sense as well.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, loved everything that you said. You know, I'll
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: share something in a second. First, I got to pull
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: the tambo. You know, we got the stone up. You know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: we got Reo over here just.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Breaking down every every asset of the game.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Let's get those likes up. You know, I don't know
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: how many we have right now. It looked like seventy
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: a few minutes ago. Let's get those up, you know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: NBA season, Let's get excited. But additionally, just to double
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: down on what you said, love it Anthony Edwards up
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: top for me.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Love Rudy Gobert.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Definitely a decision point on the slate, like you said,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: with Anthony Davis and Karl Anthony Towns, you know, prior
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to the show, you know, I see all of these
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: bills that include the Knicks, like you we talked about
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: last game, you know, having a max or you can
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: have four Knicks players.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I might get a little bit weird here and kind
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: of do that with the Timberwolves.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Like you said, you love you love McDaniels, Anthony Edwards
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: and Brunson are very similarly priced. You get a little
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: bit of a discount from Karl Anthony Towns to go beart.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I believe that's a route that I'm okay making some
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: GPP teams with kind of taking that core, if you will,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: from the Knicks of a Heart an og A, Karl
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Anthony Towns, maybe a Brunson and just kind of swapping
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: those out with Timberwolves guys. You know, we got Gieintenzo
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: question Mark. Don't really know what his full role will
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: be right first game with him aside from preseason, but
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: that might be a role that I'm taking, maybe in
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: some in some three max stuff, definitely in some bigger stuff.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: But just swapping them out, you know, just pretending that
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: these are the same players for the Knicks, and like
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: we know, it's basketball, a little foul trouble, maybe the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: game slows down in the first game, and now you
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: get some of these guys, like you said, Jay and
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: McDaniels at six percent ownership on a two games slate
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: that's essentially unowned.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: So love that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I believe this is definitely the better side besides a
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: few plays from the Lakers. But excited to hear you
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: break down some Lakers stuff.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm really excited to see how this team
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: shakes out offensively with with Jiji Reritick there, I think
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: that I think that he'll be a really good coach.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of like the perfect paring for
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: for Lebron into Davis. So we'll see how it shakes out.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: But yeah, definitely, it kind of definitely starts with with
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Anthony Davis tonight. He was the focal point in the
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: in the of the offense in the preseason, and if
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: there's any indication of you know, trends, then I would
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: expect that individual matchubout paper. Definitely tough against Rudy Gobert,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: but it hasn't really been an issue for Anthony Davis.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: He put up fifty three and seventy nine point three
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: in two games against Gobert last year, and then he
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: had eighty six in a game with with no Gobert
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: in another seventeen in a game that he left after
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: twelve minutes, So kind of throwing that one out. But yeah,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I mean from a pure upside standpoint, I think that
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: it's pretty clear Anthony Davis. He leads to suit the
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: slate tonight by a pretty pretty wide margin. So definitely
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: gonna be a guy that I want a ton of
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: in all my lineups. And then Lebron James, I mean,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: he's yeah, he's defeating father time. He's entering his twenty
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: second season, I.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Believe, tied longest ever.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I mean, it's there's just not there's
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: nothing you could say more about him that hasn't already
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: been said, he's definitely one of the greatest of all time.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: But we are playing a different game, we're playing daily
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Fantasy sports, So how does he look tonight? Still think
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: he looks pretty good.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I mentioned how much of a fan I am of
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Jada McDaniels, and it really comes from me being a
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: fan of him on the defensive.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Side of things.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Just he's got such a the perfect profile. You know,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: he's long, he's tall, he's quick enough that he can
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: stay in front of Lebron. Obviously has a a little
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: bit we had a little bit of a size disadvantage,
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I respect the matchup a lot against McDaniels
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: for Lebron. Not enough for me to obviously not play
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: him because it's a two games slate. He's small for
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: powerful to eligible, which will need a couple of those
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: to round out the roster. But yeah, I mean it's
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: this is Anthony Davis's team now at this point, Lebron
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: you know, still that's a trip double f side. I mean,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna do the same thing
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: they did last year with his minutes where he was
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: playing a little bit less. And note, if you watch
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: the The Starting Five show, on Netflix. He was pretty
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: pissed off that he wasn't playing full minutes to start
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: off the season, so I would I could see JJ
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Reddick kind of just differing to him and let him
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: play a bunch of night with it being first home
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: game of the year, playing with his son, playing in front.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Of m Griffy Junior and King Griffy Senior.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: See, I definitely have interest in Lebron, but do prefer
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: the spot for Antony Davis a little bit more. And
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: then these guards, I'll kind of scrouped them together with
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: the Daniel Russell and Austin Reeves both pretty I guess
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: they're decently expensive. In terms of this two games slate,
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I don't really like. I don't really have a strong
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: lean on this one. I think there's there's spots in
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: where you can pretty clearly say which one is going
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: to have the better night. This one I don't really know,
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: because the matchup is not It's probably worse for for
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Daniel Russell. I would imagine they put Anthony Edwards on him,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: which would probably leave Mike Conley on Austin Reeves, which
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: would probably be the one I would I would look
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: to attack a little bit more So if I had
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: to choose between the two, give me the guy that's
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: two hundred cheaper, that is shooting guard eligible as well
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: outside with Austin Reeves in this one. But I mean,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: I definitely would not be surprised if we just get
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: the random Daniel Russell game where he hits seven to
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: three in a terrible matchup. So I'll definitely be mixing
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: him in. But I do prefer Austin Reeves and then
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Rya Chimura. I think that he could take a pretty
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: big lead forward this year. The Lakers need some secondary
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: scoring pretty badly. Their three point shooting was terrible last year.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I think the Rue is a guy that kind of
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: matches up with what they want to achieve on offense,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: so I do like him at five K. I think
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: the minute should be pretty safe. They don't really have
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: the luxury of being able to go small against this
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: team with you know, Nazried coming off the bench, with Randall,
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: with Rudy Gobert filling in the front court minute. So yeah,
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's got I think pretty a pretty solid
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: minutes floor. I would say it's definitely thirty minutes, maybe
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: even even some room for a little bit more just
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: with how thin the Lakers benches.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: But some of the bench guys that I guess are
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: in play for.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: The Lakers, like I mentioned Max Christy, he seems a
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: little bit too expensive that four point five K. I
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: probably won't get to any of him tonight, but I
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: do think in Showdown he is definitely in play because
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: he's probably gonna have a decent role coming off the bench.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: I just don't think Gave Vincent is very good. Eric
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Spolshra is known to get the most out of his players,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: and it seems like ever since he left Miami that
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: it's like the Monstars just took away his powers or something.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: So I don't really think that I want to get
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: to any Gabe Vincent to night. I guess he if
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: you're really looking for a pivot off of like Duce McBride,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: who I expect to get a ton of ownership, then
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: he makes sense. I think he's a couple hundred dollars
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: sheet or more expensive, but same positional stuff. Yeah, he's
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: two hundred more, same positional So I guess that makes
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: sense as a as a little pivot, but probably not
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: something I'm looking to got him away to do. And
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: then Jackson Hayes should fill in those backup sunder minutes,
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: but there probably aren't more than ten to twelve of
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: those to go around. So not looking to get to him,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: but definitely a showdown play and then Dawn Connect definitely
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: excited for him. I think that he's probably gonna be
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: the ninth man in the rotation, but I do think
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: that there's a little bit more upside for him from
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: playing standpoint, just because we don't really know if Max
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: Christy is going to be good, we don't know what
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: gave Vison's roles going to be. They need shooting, they
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: need just some extra bench guys. They're not going to
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: put Marie out there for thirty eight minutes. They're not
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: going to play Lebron for forty minutes, so they need
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: to fill in some of those small ford power forward minutes.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I think that Connect makes a ton of sense, And yeah.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Definitely don't want to be like a president of the moment,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: but I mean, anytime you see somebody that can put
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: up twenty straight points in the game, can put up
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: thirty five real points and eight three pointers, I mean,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I think he's pretty much earned a role in this
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: offense and this team. So yeah, I'm pretty excited about
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Washington tonight. I think that he could he could be
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: a guy with a pretty sizable role on the bench.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: No, specifically on the three point shooting like you had mentioned,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I think we find ourselves in a point with JJ
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: coming and taking the helm.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I know it's more the coach more.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Than JJ Reddick in my opinion, but they were so
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: bad at three's last year with Russell, Reeves connect even
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: even Ruysta. I mean, we're gonna see him start to
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: launch in my opinion, and uh, we're gonna see plenty
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: of games this season where with one of these guys
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: get hot, they're going to continue to launch, and uh,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: you know it's gonna be fun to see. So I
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: agree with everything that you said. Reeves over Russell for me,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: but you know how that works. As soon as that happens,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Like you said, here comes Russell hitting seven threes, fade
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: and away, maybe one off the glass. You know how
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: he plays basketball. Definitely Anthony Davis over Lebron And one
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: of my personal top value plays that you touched on
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: was Ruy Like you said, I think the minutes are safe.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna want him to shoot more specifically
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: threes and at five K definitely opens it up. I mean,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: we see him here with you know, twenty five percent ownership.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I love that and two games, so you know, we
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: can't get too picky, but I find that as a
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: great spot for me with small forward empower, forward eligibility.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: You broke it down great man. I love listening to
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: every single word.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: I am excited to watch Connect Connect four, west Side
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Connect whatever, you know whatever his new nickname. Is going
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: to be really excited and I'll definitely be a prisoner
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: of the moment, you know, right before the season starts.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: You get him to, you know, hit some huge shots
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: and get hot and letting me keep going thirty nine
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: hundred just might be too cheap if he gets to run.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that was a really really good pick
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: by the Lakers in the in the draft. I think
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: that he he fits in really well. So I'm definitely
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: excited to watch him tonight. I guess I didn't touch
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: on Brownie, but nobody's really asking, but I'll just touch
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: on him anyways. But yeah, I mean, I don't think
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: that it's kind of a.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say something mean, like it's a make
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: a wish type thing. But it's not that he's a yeah,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: he's just he's not NBA ready, But there, it's he's
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: gonna be out there for a little bit. I don't
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: think that he's gonna have like they they said. They
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: prefaced it as if like he'll get out there if
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: the game the game flow, kind of like if if
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: it works for him, which kind of just tells me
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: that he's probably not going to have a spot in
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: the rotation move forward. But yeah, I mean it's they're
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: creating history tonight, so he'll be out there.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: I would imagine it's just one one quick rotation in
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: the first half to get him out there with Lebron.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't I don't think that you're really
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: going to go out of your way to play him,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: and I would much refer to get to connect.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think he gets what ninety seconds at
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the end of a quarter, maybe halftime, maybe even first quarter,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: just forty five seconds just to kind of have that
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: historical moment.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, like you said, he's not NBA ready.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: I personally don't think he ever will be, you know,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not some talent guy, you know, some scout,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: but he just kind of watch him play, you watch
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: him live.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm in college, and he just he didn't
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: look like it was it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: The other guys just looked better, looked bigger, looked quicker. Obviously.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: You know he's got a little bit of a headstar
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: IQ wise as far as being around Lebron his whole life.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I mean you said it, you know
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: it was funny, but I'll double down. This is this
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: is make a wish.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: You know, BRONI going get a little bit of run
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: and maybe in a while he might get you know,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: a minute left in the game.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: But no thanks. Even if he gets the run and
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: he gets the shots, I.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Mean he's well, yeah, exactly, you know, it's it's it's
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I would like I mean, I'm not going to say it,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: but I'm a little bit of a shooter too, man,
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: So I would love to see you know, one hundred
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: shots twenty each spot.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: See who could make some more.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: But that's about at the next ship party.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, oh I'm down with that. Let's do that
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: with the little three point contest and uh, that'd be fun.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know how everybody else is
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: in the company, but I I'm want to place myself as.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: You haven't seen you haven't seen title.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: He's he's the man titles it. How long he's got
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: a little jump shot.
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, title is nice with it? Oh man, that's awesome.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: I just want to touch on neighbors question real quick
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: since we have some time.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: But this is only being a two game slate, so
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: for me, it's ad Is is kind of far and
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: away the number one for me. I guess I'll do
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: the guys from Jalen Brown up because I think you
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: guys pretty much know how I feel about Cat tonight.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that eighties number one. I would
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: probably say. I would say Aunt is number two. I'd
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: really like to upside in the match for him tonight.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Then I would probably go probably that's tough, like Lebron
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: and Tatum are neck and neck for me. I know
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make my guy Wardo mad by placing Brunson last,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: but I think I'll probably go a d Edwards, Tatum, Lebron.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: And then Brunson.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah, see, uh, I would agree with that. Brunson's
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: tough for me. You know, just to kind of chime
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: in for a second.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: I might fall in love with his value here in
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: at eighty seven hundred if he doesn't get the peripherals,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: even though he does have the minutes.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: You know, all it takes is for him not to
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: get those two or three extra assists. I know it's
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: a two games slate, but yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Brunton's a little scary at eighty seven hundred. I know
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: he'll get the minutes, but but yeah, I would agree
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: him on low yep, real quick, Nate saying he can
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: take me in the paint. We'll get We'll get that going.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm a nice little defender in the paint too,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: So I I can't wait for that. We got we
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: got a bunch of side bets going on, so so
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: we'll get all that stuff from Rocket.
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: But I love that.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: I think that pretty much covers it. I don't have
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: too many questions rolling in now. I guess if you
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: guys want to stand for a few more minutes, we
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: could we could touch on some so go collect Yeah,
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I I kind of touched on the
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: beginning of the show. You you could definitely do that,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: but you have to understand. You have to understand like
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: the upside and the downside of those lineups, because you
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: still need to get a lot of things right. Yeah,
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: I think that if there was a game to stack
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: up for me, it's gonna be the Lakers in the
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: in the Wolves game. But and then you can, you know,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: you can mix in like like McBride and Pritchard in
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: the first one and then just kind of move on
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: with the rest of your lineup. But yeah, I think
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: that it's definitely more of a of a large field strategy.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: I would say in single intry, I'm probably just looking
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: to get the best plays in my lineup because there
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: are some pretty good ones, you know, price adjusted.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if if I guess my kind of question, you know,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: if you were to label kind of like a highlight
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: or a hot take for the Slate kind of as
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: we're rounding up the show, do you have anything that
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: kind of highlights in your head that you want to
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: kind of put on paper and and let everybody know.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jada McDaniel's going to be on the Winter tonight,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: That's that would be my hot take.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: I love it there, we like we like big Rago
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: over here.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: That's funny good all right, man, Hey, this was this
