- 0:04Speaker 1: All system's going clear the left.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Of what's going on. Everybody happy Thursday. I hope you're enjoying.
- 0:39Speaker 2: I hope your golfers are doing better than my golfers.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I'll say that from the get go. Still out of
- 0:43Speaker 2: time though, we're talking to NBA, IMLB going on, NBA,
- 0:47Speaker 2: going on, pg A, Hey, MMA will be going on
- 0:50Speaker 2: in a couple of days, NASCAR, NHL. Great time to
- 0:53Speaker 2: be a member at chippin Asian, Great time to be
- 0:55Speaker 2: a sports fan. NBA. Right now, we have two more
- 0:58Speaker 2: shows left. This will be Rio's last show of the year.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Phenomenal job is always by Rio. Excited to close it
- 1:04Speaker 2: out on this five game or one hour from start
- 1:07Speaker 2: to finish for the main slate, Rio, how we do
- 1:09Speaker 2: it to that doing good?
- 1:11Speaker 3: How to move the show to the living room so
- 1:13Speaker 3: I could watch some golf in the background. But kind
- 1:16Speaker 3: of with you, I didn't really check my lineups just yet,
- 1:18Speaker 3: but I know that when Fred Couples is doing better
- 1:22Speaker 3: than your highest owned golfer, you're probably not in a
- 1:24Speaker 3: great spot. So that just kind of tells you everything
- 1:28Speaker 3: you need to know. But I'm I'm still excited about
- 1:31Speaker 3: the tournament, like it's the best, the best golf tournament
- 1:33Speaker 3: of the year kind of kicks things off. But you know,
- 1:37Speaker 3: my guy Minwu just went into the waters in the
- 1:39Speaker 3: bunker now, so not looking great, but yeah, excited to
- 1:44Speaker 3: I mean, not excited that the NBA season is over
- 1:46Speaker 3: because it's my favorite time of year, but I mean
- 1:48Speaker 3: this these last couple of weeks are pretty rough. Obviously
- 1:53Speaker 3: another productive season with ship It starting or any things.
- 1:57Speaker 1: How I started off with you as always, so.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Appreciate everybody for tuning in every single shit we've done.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Appreciate all the help from everybody in the discord and everything.
- 2:06Speaker 3: So yeah, just grateful and ready for some real basketball
- 2:10Speaker 3: in the next week or two.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Oh I'm definitely ready playoff basketball, the different ball games.
- 2:15Speaker 2: So well, if you cover for that, content does not stop.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Slate plans, showdown, slate plan, showdown, contest to grow. Shout
- 2:22Speaker 2: out to little Neck. He will be on that like
- 2:24Speaker 2: he always is Monday through Friday. Unmust have missed MLB
- 2:28Speaker 2: main slate. There's three games early in three games late,
- 2:31Speaker 2: so we did. We had a slate plan up. MLB
- 2:35Speaker 2: slate plan. You could check that out, the cores, the rankings,
- 2:38Speaker 2: all that, but no shows for only three games slates.
- 2:40Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow for that and then Ham and
- 2:42Speaker 2: I will be checking big slate for the NBA tomorrow.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Good luck to us for sure, with so many moving parts. Bearbye,
- 2:49Speaker 2: ax Colin, great to see you. Yeah, min my highest
- 2:52Speaker 2: something too bad news Bears, but nobody cares. We will
- 2:56Speaker 2: talk some NBA, any broad slate you or anything you
- 3:00Speaker 2: want to mention before we go game by game.
- 3:03Speaker 3: I think this slate is interesting because we have I
- 3:07Speaker 3: think every game on this slate has meaning in one
- 3:09Speaker 3: way or the other. We have four teams that face
- 3:12Speaker 3: off against each other that are I guess two teams
- 3:14Speaker 3: in each game they're facing off that are highly incentivized
- 3:18Speaker 3: to lose, and then a couple of teams that are
- 3:20Speaker 3: fairly incentivized to win. You could maybe Boston and Knicks
- 3:24Speaker 3: a little bit unclear there, but like Philly, Houston, Miami, Toronto,
- 3:27Speaker 3: all four teams highly incentivized to win this game or
- 3:31Speaker 3: to win their games. And we just learned before coming on.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I'm not sure if you even saw yet, but Embiid
- 3:36Speaker 3: had to get a emergency surgery appendicitis. I think they
- 3:40Speaker 3: said it was and the I mean, that's terrible for
- 3:44Speaker 3: the Sixers, of course, because I was looking at some
- 3:48Speaker 3: or I hate to get appendaectomy.
- 3:49Speaker 1: That's what it is.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I mean, the timeline on returning something like that is
- 3:54Speaker 3: like minimum three weeks, but could be up to like
- 3:57Speaker 3: two months. It's just really bad, bad news for the Sixers,
- 4:01Speaker 3: who were looking fairly dangerous going into the playoffs. I
- 4:04Speaker 3: think a team that definitely could have made some noise
- 4:06Speaker 3: in the first and second round, but gonna be tougher
- 4:09Speaker 3: now that they won't have Embeid Absolutely.
- 4:12Speaker 2: And then I saw a quote in the discord about
- 4:16Speaker 2: like the Knicks, they want to lose this game for
- 4:18Speaker 2: their best chance to avoid the Celtics. But what Jalen
- 4:21Speaker 2: Brown sitting, It's like the Celtics know all that. Do
- 4:24Speaker 2: you any thoughts there before we get into this first one?
- 4:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
- 4:28Speaker 3: It's it's tough because they are right there at number three,
- 4:31Speaker 3: and I don't I don't believe they have any chance
- 4:33Speaker 3: to get to two, Like, yeah, the smallest chance to
- 4:35Speaker 3: get to two probably not gonna happen. But yeah, it
- 4:39Speaker 3: seems like being in the four seed is probably a
- 4:41Speaker 3: little bit better.
- 4:42Speaker 1: They're tired right now at the Caves.
- 4:43Speaker 3: I'm not sure who owns the tie record there, but
- 4:45Speaker 3: I think that Boston probably looks like the best team
- 4:48Speaker 3: in the East right now, although the Knicks did take
- 4:50Speaker 3: them down last year, so they might not care.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I don't know. They'll probably just end up playing it
- 4:55Speaker 1: straight up.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna actively try to lose this game,
- 4:58Speaker 3: Like getting home court is more important than losing.
- 5:01Speaker 2: So yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Let's up, Ricky.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Great to see. Appreciate everyone hanging outing and like bunch, subscribe,
- 5:08Speaker 2: but it helps us out a ton. Let's talk some hoops.
- 5:10Speaker 2: The first game of the night, seven pm Eastern Chicago
- 5:13Speaker 2: Bulls and the Washington Wizards six and that point. Favorites
- 5:16Speaker 2: of the Bulls two forty eight and a half total,
- 5:18Speaker 2: the biggest on the slate. On the Bull's side, no Giddy,
- 5:22Speaker 2: no Matas, no Okoro, no Nick Richards. As far as
- 5:26Speaker 2: the Washington side, no Sar, no cool Ballet, no Trade Johnson,
- 5:31Speaker 2: no Voopsovic, and no Jaden Hardy. That is a lot
- 5:34Speaker 2: of injury news, which means a lot of injury news.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Are really big total two bad teams. That means a
- 5:40Speaker 2: lot of cheap players and a lot of ownership going
- 5:43Speaker 2: to this game. If you need value, this is a
- 5:45Speaker 2: game value slash mid tier. This is a game that
- 5:48Speaker 2: you definitely will probably have some pieces with. So I mean, yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 2: take it away. Just looking at ownership, I'm sorting by
- 5:55Speaker 2: far the most ownership of the slates is going to
- 5:57Speaker 2: this one.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Yeah, there's teams played a couple of days ago, I
- 6:01Speaker 3: believe when we were on the slate together, and I
- 6:03Speaker 3: feel like I am probably going to be rehashing a
- 6:06Speaker 3: lot of the same things I said on that day.
- 6:07Speaker 3: But both teams pretty incentivized to lose. Wizards are last
- 6:14Speaker 3: or first, however you want to say. In the Tankathon
- 6:17Speaker 3: standings right now with a one game lead over Indy,
- 6:20Speaker 3: who plays tonight as well. So I think they're probably
- 6:23Speaker 3: pretty good where they're at, like they might be able
- 6:25Speaker 3: to afford a win because I think they play some
- 6:28Speaker 3: pretty good opponents in their next two games. But yeah,
- 6:31Speaker 3: Chicago is still kind of right there, neck and neck
- 6:34Speaker 3: with the Bucks. They're one game ahead of them, and
- 6:37Speaker 3: that's I've talked about a lot with those two teams
- 6:39Speaker 3: in particular, pretty big drop off going from nine to ten.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Your odds dropped pretty drastically to get a top four
- 6:46Speaker 3: overall picks.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I think that they are.
- 6:49Speaker 3: If if one team is going to do more crazy
- 6:51Speaker 3: in game stuff, it would be the Bulls, and they
- 6:54Speaker 3: definitely are a more talented team, so I think that
- 6:57Speaker 3: I would be.
- 6:58Speaker 1: A little bit cautious there.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Like I said last time out, I would be a
- 7:01Speaker 3: little bit worried about like the Trey Jones and Colin Sextons,
- 7:04Speaker 3: they both were pretty good for their prices. But we
- 7:07Speaker 3: talked a lot about Rob Dillingham, like I feel the
- 7:09Speaker 3: same way about him. He's terrible, so he probably is
- 7:12Speaker 3: more impactful when it comes to losing. So I'd be
- 7:16Speaker 3: much rather playing a guy like Rob Dillingham. Definitely makes
- 7:19Speaker 3: a little bit tougher now that they don't have Isaac
- 7:21Speaker 3: occoroll because they ran things, they were capable of running
- 7:24Speaker 3: things a little bit deeper. But now with him out,
- 7:26Speaker 3: you're gonna get somebody else into the starting lineup. It's
- 7:28Speaker 3: probably gonna be Patrick Williams. But worth noting that Mac
- 7:32Speaker 3: mcclun did play eighteen second half minutes last game, so
- 7:35Speaker 3: he's a guy that will definitely benefit from o'coro being out.
- 7:39Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm still I'm going right back to Leonnon Miller.
- 7:42Speaker 3: I know that he kind of felled this last time.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Still too cheap. I think he's gonna be a guy
- 7:46Speaker 3: that plays a ton with o'coro out. I do think
- 7:49Speaker 3: that you can get into some rules here, because I
- 7:50Speaker 3: don't want to get too overboard with the bulls stuff.
- 7:53Speaker 3: But it would be a max one of Yaboo and Olbrick.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I think it'd be a max two of Leonard and Miller,
- 8:00Speaker 3: Hatch Williams, and I probably would throw McClung into that grouping,
- 8:05Speaker 3: and then I would say a max two of Trey Jones, Dillingham, McClung,
- 8:10Speaker 3: Yuki Kawamora, and Sexton because that would really kind of
- 8:14Speaker 3: narrow down how much of these bulls you're getting in
- 8:16Speaker 3: the types of construction you're getting with them. I think
- 8:18Speaker 3: you do have to be pretty mindful of that here,
- 8:20Speaker 3: But yeah, Dillingham my favorite option on the bulls tonight,
- 8:24Speaker 3: and then probably Leonard Miller.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Do you think Patrick Williams is pretty solid as well?
- 8:27Speaker 1: He had like his.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Best game of his career, which is bad to say
- 8:31Speaker 3: because he was a lottery pick, but yeah, he did.
- 8:33Speaker 3: He did perform pretty well last game The Wizard.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Yeah, he sense a guy, but like, man, he's been
- 8:40Speaker 2: so disappointing. Was it Florida State?
- 8:44Speaker 1: I feel like you, you and Matt are probably better
- 8:45Speaker 1: at knowing where the guys.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Went to college. Florida State.
- 8:48Speaker 3: I just want I want to go back and look
- 8:50Speaker 3: at that draft because I know that there was some
- 8:51Speaker 3: good players that got drafted behind him. Look at it
- 8:54Speaker 3: when you're talking, all right, Yeah, So the wizard side
- 8:58Speaker 3: of things, I think it's pretty straightforward here. They have
- 9:01Speaker 3: eight guys available, but there's two guys that I would
- 9:04Speaker 3: be very surprised if they saw any sort of meaningful minutes.
- 9:08Speaker 3: And those two would be Champagne and Bub Carrington, two
- 9:12Speaker 3: guys that I think have more long term value for
- 9:14Speaker 3: this team. And just like if they're gonna try to
- 9:16Speaker 3: lose this game, I feel like you don't play those
- 9:18Speaker 3: two guys in particular. I wouldn't be surprised if Bub
- 9:21Speaker 3: is like a start and then not playing like maybe
- 9:25Speaker 3: plays one rotation in each half, and then Champagne, I'd
- 9:28Speaker 3: probably be capping him at like twenty minutes. So that
- 9:30Speaker 3: leaves us with six guys that are gonna be playing
- 9:32Speaker 3: a bulk of the minutes tonight. That would be Jamier Watkins,
- 9:35Speaker 3: Leaky Black, Anthony Gill, Julian Reese, Will Riley.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And Sharife Cooper.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Of those six guys that I'm looking to like, one
- 9:45Speaker 3: is a clear standown amongst the rest, and that's Julian Reese.
- 9:48Speaker 3: The last time that they were in this similar situation,
- 9:50Speaker 3: he played forty four minutes. Still a great matchup. I
- 9:53Speaker 3: think he's got tournament winning ceiling at the center position.
- 9:58Speaker 3: Totally fine with him here. Then I would probably be
- 10:01Speaker 3: looking at Sharif Cooper and Jamior Watkins because those two
- 10:03Speaker 3: guys I could see their minutes really getting ramped up
- 10:06Speaker 3: here in a big way. Leaky Black is just not
- 10:08Speaker 3: a good permanent producer, so he's easy to get away from.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Then Will Riley is expensive, so that's kind of easy
- 10:14Speaker 3: to get away from as well. Anthony Gill a little
- 10:18Speaker 3: bit tougher because I think he has power forward center eligibility.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Yeah he does. That's a little bit tougher to get
- 10:23Speaker 1: away from.
- 10:24Speaker 3: But yeah, pretty in on Julian Reeves, very in, I say,
- 10:28Speaker 3: I would say very in on Julian Reeves and then Watkins,
- 10:31Speaker 3: Gill and Cooper are the next three guys that I'm
- 10:34Speaker 3: looking to really think all those guys are pretty strong players,
- 10:37Speaker 3: but I'd be looking to get away from Bob Carrington,
- 10:39Speaker 3: Leaky Black and Champagnee in particular. And then I think
- 10:42Speaker 3: that if Will Riley the ownership is going to be
- 10:44Speaker 3: way up there, you can make the case to get
- 10:45Speaker 3: away from him because he's probably not a six point
- 10:48Speaker 3: five k player, but he has shown ceiling before, so
- 10:51Speaker 3: I'm a little bit more worried about fading a guy
- 10:54Speaker 3: like Will Riley.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't personally don't think his ownership is
- 10:58Speaker 2: going to be crazy. Savorsis sixteen percent, even if it's
- 11:01Speaker 2: like mid twenties or something like that, I don't think
- 11:03Speaker 2: it gets out of hand. As far as that draft,
- 11:06Speaker 2: it actually was pretty weak. When Aunt James Wiseman bust LaMelo,
- 11:10Speaker 2: but then Patrick Williams a Coro, next bust A Kong Wu.
- 11:15Speaker 2: He's good. Killian Hayes pretty much a bust, Obi Toppin
- 11:19Speaker 2: pretty much a bust. Danny was a phenomenal pick at nine,
- 11:23Speaker 2: Jaylen Smith when he gets minutes, Devin Vassel, Tyresee Good,
- 11:28Speaker 2: kiir Lewis Nie Smith, Cole, Anthony, Isaiah Stewart, Josh Green,
- 11:34Speaker 2: Poku dude, oh oh god. Yeah, it's been a Yeah,
- 11:39Speaker 2: it wasn't wasn't the best draft, that's for sure. Getting
- 11:43Speaker 2: LaMelo was nice.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that was a pretty weak draft.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Is there a how many is too many? Rio talked
- 11:50Speaker 2: about the groups with the Bulls. I would go rewind,
- 11:53Speaker 2: which will then probably get you to three max with
- 11:57Speaker 2: all those rules. But what about like with Washington, I.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Feel like you could probably get to three of those
- 12:02Speaker 1: guys as well.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Definitely would probably not and yeah, probably not six in
- 12:08Speaker 2: the same game because you just wouldn't have the salary
- 12:10Speaker 2: to do it. So probably five total in this game,
- 12:15Speaker 2: which would be fine. Four feels a little more like
- 12:17Speaker 2: the sweet spot. And again you can't even really spend
- 12:19Speaker 2: your money on either side, So five max. I'd say
- 12:22Speaker 2: four is probably more of the sweet spot, but definitely
- 12:25Speaker 2: rewind for the Bulls stuff. In terms of rules, Let's
- 12:29Speaker 2: go to one of the lower owned games on the
- 12:31Speaker 2: slate to mine Heat and the Toronto Raptors. Three nat
- 12:34Speaker 2: point favorites of the Raptors two thirty six and a
- 12:36Speaker 2: half total on the Heat side, Drew Smith questionable hardly
- 12:42Speaker 2: means anything. No injury news on Toronto to talk about.
- 12:45Speaker 2: You look at the ownership it is the Spens. Yeah.
- 12:48Speaker 2: I mean, when you're looking at value, especially with these
- 12:50Speaker 2: healthy teams, you got to compare it to the first
- 12:52Speaker 2: game we talked about. No chance you're playing any value
- 12:55Speaker 2: in this one. But any of these Spens, they are
- 12:58Speaker 2: relatively contrarian. I don't think we're gonna see two too
- 13:00Speaker 2: much ownership. But and he spends your targeting on either
- 13:03Speaker 2: side of this one.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say the same thing we said a
- 13:08Speaker 3: couple of days ago when these teams played like the
- 13:10Speaker 3: this this game is very meaningful. Pretty much every game
- 13:13Speaker 3: down the stretch is very meaningful for both of these teams,
- 13:15Speaker 3: So they will be playing their guys full minutes as
- 13:18Speaker 3: long as games are close. The Heat kind of got
- 13:21Speaker 3: embarrassed in the last game, but I hope that they
- 13:23Speaker 3: can keep this one closer because I would have interest
- 13:26Speaker 3: in them.
- 13:27Speaker 1: I did see a crazy stat.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I don't even know if it's like really a stat,
- 13:30Speaker 3: but the there was like three teams that the Heat are.
- 13:33Speaker 3: I think they're like zero to twelve against the Raptors,
- 13:36Speaker 3: the Magic, and one other team. I have to remember
- 13:38Speaker 3: who the other team is, but I mean they're just
- 13:42Speaker 3: like perpetually locked into the play, and they've been in
- 13:45Speaker 3: the play, and I think in every year that it's
- 13:47Speaker 3: been a thing if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, just
- 13:51Speaker 3: the most average team ever. The Raptors, I still like,
- 13:56Speaker 3: I'm not a believer in them, but they match up
- 13:58Speaker 3: well against the Heat. They play well against them, so
- 14:00Speaker 3: they are rightfully favored here. Good game total though, and
- 14:05Speaker 3: then clear spin up options. I'm a little bit interested
- 14:09Speaker 3: to see what the Heat do with their starting lineup
- 14:11Speaker 3: and the rotation in general, because in the first half
- 14:14Speaker 3: the Hero and Norman Powell overlap was non existent. They
- 14:19Speaker 3: did go to a little bit more on the second
- 14:20Speaker 3: half as it needed more offense. I mean, I feel
- 14:23Speaker 3: like it makes sense to start him alongside Hero just
- 14:26Speaker 3: because you need more offense, but you do I don't know.
- 14:29Speaker 3: The Raptors have like three guys that are big mismatches
- 14:34Speaker 3: for them if they do start Norman Powell, which is
- 14:36Speaker 3: Barrett Ingram and Barnes to a lesser extent, and Manuel Quickly,
- 14:41Speaker 3: So we'll see what they do. If they don't start
- 14:44Speaker 3: Norman Powell, I would probably be a max one of
- 14:46Speaker 3: Hero and Powell just because they I think that it's
- 14:48Speaker 3: kind of bad for both of them not starting alongside
- 14:50Speaker 3: each other. For one, they still want to get Powell minutes,
- 14:54Speaker 3: so the minutes upside for Hero takes a hit, and
- 14:56Speaker 3: then to the usage is a little bit more spread
- 14:59Speaker 3: out with Norman Powell coming off the bench, So I
- 15:01Speaker 3: think just tougher to get to those guys in particular.
- 15:05Speaker 3: But I think Bam is good. I would project him
- 15:07Speaker 3: for like forty minutes. He was training for that before
- 15:09Speaker 3: losing minutes due to blowout, So I think that he's
- 15:12Speaker 3: good regardless, just not a great matchup. Scottie Barnes has
- 15:15Speaker 3: done well against him, And then you're, yeah, like you said,
- 15:18Speaker 3: you're not really looking to the value plays on either
- 15:20Speaker 3: side of this game. Maybe there's enough upside for like
- 15:22Speaker 3: Hawkes or Wiggins, maybe Pele and Davion Mitchell. David Mitchell
- 15:27Speaker 3: is getting a ton of open looks in that first game,
- 15:29Speaker 3: like they're just leaving him wide open. If they do
- 15:31Speaker 3: that again, maybe he can pop off for a big game,
- 15:33Speaker 3: but unlikely. And then the raptor side of things, really
- 15:36Speaker 3: only three guys considering, and that would be the Barnes,
- 15:39Speaker 3: Ingram and Barritt grouping. Probably a MAX two be fine
- 15:41Speaker 3: with max one there yeah, probably not going to Protol
- 15:46Speaker 3: or sandrac here. I think they're on any other slate
- 15:48Speaker 3: where we don't have a lot of value, we're likely
- 15:50Speaker 3: going to have a ton of value. I'd look to
- 15:52Speaker 3: those guys, but not in this one.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Yeah, all them said the same thing. But in the
- 15:57Speaker 2: play in like four years or something like that, they're
- 15:59Speaker 2: a bubble team. When when Jimmy was playing forty two minutes,
- 16:03Speaker 2: his knees were cooked. But when it was all said
- 16:04Speaker 2: and done, but they absolutely grinded everyone. I mean, man,
- 16:08Speaker 2: that bubble the rim was like double the size that
- 16:10Speaker 2: is in the NBA gams. What d Mitch was doing that.
- 16:13Speaker 2: There was a lot of fun in the bubble there
- 16:16Speaker 2: in the time. But yeah, I haven't been able to
- 16:19Speaker 2: figure out since they've definitely owned my bucks at times
- 16:22Speaker 2: though throughout we'll keep it rolling. Yeah, it spends or nothing.
- 16:26Speaker 2: In this first game, you can't even spend. It's a
- 16:28Speaker 2: lot of good value mid tier stuff in this game.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Definitely no mid tier stuff or no value. So it's
- 16:34Speaker 2: either of these spends like you were talking about, Bam,
- 16:37Speaker 2: probably my favorite if I had to pick one. Let's
- 16:39Speaker 2: get to two teams that we've been trying really not
- 16:42Speaker 2: to play much of in the last couple of weeks
- 16:44Speaker 2: a little bit of the Pacers we've had to but
- 16:46Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers three and that
- 16:49Speaker 2: point favorites of the Pacers two twenty four and a
- 16:51Speaker 2: half total in this one. On the injury report for
- 16:54Speaker 2: the Pacers, Jarris Walker, Kobe Brown, Ben Shephard all questionable.
- 16:58Speaker 2: As far as the Nets, Claxton, Troyory, Terrence Man and
- 17:03Speaker 2: Zaier Williams all out. I think the Brooklyn injury news
- 17:07Speaker 2: is a little more important for showing right here some
- 17:10Speaker 2: of these guys Tyson ETN, what is this, Travis etn
- 17:14Speaker 2: and all this is cousin or something man, but Ben Taroff,
- 17:18Speaker 2: Malachai Smith, I do think these guys do get a
- 17:21Speaker 2: little bit ownership. I do think Malachai Smith probably is
- 17:24Speaker 2: one of the higher plays. I'm I put in at
- 17:27Speaker 2: like thirty seven percent. I think he's probably one of
- 17:29Speaker 2: the higher own plays. Thirty eight hundred point guard shooting
- 17:33Speaker 2: guard eligible. I think this is a game that, again
- 17:36Speaker 2: similar to the first game, you just can't spend fifty
- 17:38Speaker 2: seven hundred yeris Walker who might not even play, and
- 17:41Speaker 2: then forty nine hundred j Hoffin below. So I guess
- 17:44Speaker 2: the real question is how do these values compared to
- 17:46Speaker 2: that first game.
- 17:48Speaker 3: I don't know, It's tough to say because this is
- 17:51Speaker 3: a pretty big game for both teams to lose here. Obviously,
- 17:56Speaker 3: with the trade that the Pacers made to get Zubac,
- 17:59Speaker 3: they don't own their pick after or between was it
- 18:02Speaker 3: between like five and eight or something like that, And
- 18:06Speaker 3: they are currently bottom two in the Tankathon or top two,
- 18:09Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it, So like a win
- 18:13Speaker 3: here would be pretty detrimental to them because the Nets
- 18:17Speaker 3: are two games ahead of them, so they would gain
- 18:19Speaker 3: a game.
- 18:21Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know.
- 18:22Speaker 3: They just may be Like they definitely have more talented
- 18:25Speaker 3: players than the Nets too, So I think the Nets
- 18:28Speaker 3: probably lose this game, and this is probably their biggest
- 18:31Speaker 3: game of the season because they've allowed Brooklyn and or Sorry,
- 18:36Speaker 3: they've allowed Utah and Sacramento to catch up to them.
- 18:39Speaker 3: They're each one game behind them. So I think, yeah,
- 18:43Speaker 3: win here would would really really hurt them in a
- 18:45Speaker 3: big way. So I feel like they have just worse
- 18:47Speaker 3: players and more ways that they could really.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Do some in game weirdness.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Yeah, it just depends on who's going to be available
- 18:54Speaker 3: for the Pacers night because you have those Q tags
- 18:56Speaker 3: on Jeris Walker and Kobe Brown.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Kobe Brown was actually measured like why would Jared Walker play? Then?
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
- 19:04Speaker 3: I really don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Just yeah,
- 19:07Speaker 3: I have no idea, but they I don't know. The
- 19:09Speaker 3: Pacers have done a lot of things that really kind
- 19:11Speaker 3: of confused me the season, so I wouldn't be surprised
- 19:14Speaker 3: if they do. But yeah, Kobe Brown actually did get injured,
- 19:17Speaker 3: and then Jarifs Walker was injured before he played last game,
- 19:20Speaker 3: I believe, and the Ben Shepard is also questionable. I
- 19:23Speaker 3: feel like they're just gonna be running out there g
- 19:26Speaker 3: leaguers tonight for a lot of minutes, so you could
- 19:29Speaker 3: get pretty big games from these guys. Like I still
- 19:33Speaker 3: like Jalen Slosson the most because I've seen him play
- 19:35Speaker 3: and he looks like a guy that can filp the
- 19:36Speaker 3: stat sheet. I think Quinton Jackson is interesting because he
- 19:40Speaker 3: can do a lot in limited time. And then we've
- 19:42Speaker 3: seen Ethan Thompson and like Taylor and Peter and all
- 19:45Speaker 3: these guys have success before. I really don't have much
- 19:48Speaker 3: to say about it. It's gonna be a situation where
- 19:50Speaker 3: just kind of wait for projections, but even projections could
- 19:54Speaker 3: be off in this game because they could do a
- 19:56Speaker 3: lot of weird things. I'd probably just be like a
- 19:57Speaker 3: max two to three of Indie prob prefer to be
- 20:00Speaker 3: max two of them and saw Us and Quinn Jackson
- 20:03Speaker 3: all my favorite. And then, like you said, for the Nets,
- 20:06Speaker 3: they just don't have guys that you can spend your
- 20:08Speaker 3: money on. They're also getting a lot of ownership as well,
- 20:11Speaker 3: so it could be a situation where we just lean
- 20:14Speaker 3: away from ownership because we're I don't think that we
- 20:16Speaker 3: should be so confident that a guy like Malachai Smith
- 20:20Speaker 3: or who'd.
- 20:20Speaker 1: You say was getting a lot of ownership in this one.
- 20:23Speaker 2: I think it. Yeah, he had just the last name.
- 20:30Speaker 3: I don't think that ownership is updated for this These
- 20:32Speaker 3: guys will definitely get more, but yeah, for me, I'm
- 20:36Speaker 3: probably looking to get away from. So the last game
- 20:41Speaker 3: should be a pretty good indicator of what we should
- 20:42Speaker 3: expect from them from a rotation standpoint. They're starting five
- 20:46Speaker 3: was Ben saroff E, J Ladell, Trey Scott, Malachai Smith,
- 20:50Speaker 3: and Drake Powell. And then we had Trey Orri Jalen
- 20:53Speaker 3: Wilson and Chaney Johnson coming off the bench for just
- 20:55Speaker 3: a handful of minutes. Eatan was their six man, though
- 20:59Speaker 3: he played a lot of them in that game. Treyori's out,
- 21:01Speaker 3: so that leaves them with eight guys, but they do
- 21:05Speaker 3: have Oh Shake Boji. I don't think Baji's gonna play
- 21:08Speaker 3: at all. I think that if he does, it's maybe
- 21:10Speaker 3: like one rotation, kind of similar to what Treyory played
- 21:13Speaker 3: last game, which was just nine minutes. So I'm really
- 21:16Speaker 3: just considering the starter tonight, and then Etn, I guess
- 21:21Speaker 3: how would rank. It would be Liddell, Tray Scott, Malachai
- 21:24Speaker 3: Smith as the building blocks, and then look into like
- 21:28Speaker 3: Saraff and Etn. I think you'd probably be smart. I
- 21:31Speaker 3: don't think Drake pal is much in play, just because
- 21:34Speaker 3: he's not a good like He's very raw and just
- 21:36Speaker 3: not a good permanent guy just yet. I would probably
- 21:39Speaker 3: want to be max two of Etn, Malachai Smith, and Staroff.
- 21:45Speaker 3: I would be a max two also of Liddell, Tray Scott.
- 21:51Speaker 1: And Cheney Johnson. If you're considering Cheney Johnson, I think
- 21:53Speaker 1: that would kind of cover it all.
- 21:55Speaker 3: That way, you could get three of these guys, but
- 21:57Speaker 3: I'm not really considering Jalen Wilson or ohshag Baji had
- 22:00Speaker 3: all tonight and probably not on Powell either.
- 22:03Speaker 2: So do you like these cheape's more than the Washington
- 22:06Speaker 2: cheape's or the Bulls? It sounds like you like the
- 22:09Speaker 2: Washington cheapis more than the Bulls just because of the
- 22:13Speaker 2: talent they had and trying to lose the game. But
- 22:15Speaker 2: how would Brooklyn and the Washington Cheapis lineup? Yeah?
- 22:20Speaker 1: I think I would.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Washington would be number one, and then probably Brooklyn and
- 22:23Speaker 3: then Chicago.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean there's I'm not even gonna pretend
- 22:28Speaker 2: to try and add anything. Rio's deep dove on all
- 22:31Speaker 2: this stuff. At the end of the day, it's really clear.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Like this Miami Toronto game, you get spence from there,
- 22:36Speaker 2: you don't get value. We're gonna talk Boston Nicks. You
- 22:38Speaker 2: get spends. You don't get value the first game. This
- 22:42Speaker 2: game you can't even spend if you do want to.
- 22:45Speaker 2: So getting the value right, like eating chocolate, we get
- 22:48Speaker 2: to Jason Tatum the next game or whatever, Like I
- 22:50Speaker 2: would eat the chalk spend and there's so much value
- 22:53Speaker 2: that you can mix and match and hope they think
- 22:56Speaker 2: the right lower guy when it's all said and down.
- 22:59Speaker 2: So that's what I out right there, keep rolling to
- 23:02Speaker 2: this Boston Celtics in the New York's Knicks game. We
- 23:05Speaker 2: have the mix five and that point favorites lows total
- 23:08Speaker 2: on the site two twelve and a half Boston side. No,
- 23:11Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, Kada and Derek White are questionable. On the
- 23:15Speaker 2: Knick side, Tyler Kohleik is questionable, and we might have
- 23:18Speaker 2: just gotten news. I mean, not that it even matters really,
- 23:21Speaker 2: but I think an underdog notification just popped up recently.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I don't know what it said for sure. Yeah, I
- 23:28Speaker 2: think it's really clear. I think you have spends in
- 23:30Speaker 2: this game, and that is Jason Tatum if you want,
- 23:33Speaker 2: Jalen Bronson, Towns Art, but Derek White and Cada. News
- 23:38Speaker 2: is pretty big, especially I think the Derek White stuff.
- 23:40Speaker 2: So I just couldn't imagine going to value in this game.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably agree with you, Like, maybe these guys
- 23:49Speaker 3: can be used as a pivot.
- 23:50Speaker 1: But probably not.
- 23:52Speaker 3: Like they're gonna project much much worse. The roles are
- 23:55Speaker 3: very unclear, but like we should should see Baylor Shireman start.
- 23:59Speaker 3: I think regardless with Jaylen Brown out, and then if
- 24:03Speaker 3: Derek White were to miss, then you're getting into like
- 24:04Speaker 3: Peyton Prichard, which would make him interesting. But yeah, I
- 24:09Speaker 3: think this game is kind of just spends and then
- 24:12Speaker 3: move on. Like Jaylen, Bronson and Kat are going to
- 24:15Speaker 3: be guys that you go to just because you have salary,
- 24:16Speaker 3: and then Tatum for sure. I would say that Bronson
- 24:20Speaker 3: and Kat look pretty good if either one of White
- 24:23Speaker 3: or Cada were to miss, like whoever the guy that
- 24:26Speaker 3: would be guarding them. So like for Kat, if Kada
- 24:29Speaker 3: is out, I like the match up for him a
- 24:30Speaker 3: lot more. If for Brunson, Derek White is out, then
- 24:34Speaker 3: that is a lot better for him, So that that'd
- 24:37Speaker 3: kind of be how I go about the Knicks stuff.
- 24:39Speaker 3: I just like worry a little bit about motivation for
- 24:42Speaker 3: these two teams because they are pretty locked in where
- 24:45Speaker 3: they're at in the standings. The Celtics really don't have
- 24:48Speaker 3: much else to play for. And yeah, we know that
- 24:53Speaker 3: Tatum's going to miss tomorrow. He said he was going
- 24:54Speaker 3: to play some night and missed tomorrow. But this could
- 24:57Speaker 3: be a spot where it's like twenty five minutes to
- 24:59Speaker 3: twenty eight minutes from him, Like, I don't see a
- 25:00Speaker 3: reason why they play him thirty two to thirty four
- 25:03Speaker 3: in a close game. Even so, I'm just like very
- 25:07Speaker 3: very cautious about what to do, what they're gonna do
- 25:09Speaker 3: with these minutes. I would be fine with Pritchard. I
- 25:11Speaker 3: feel like he's gonna play a good bit regardless, but
- 25:14Speaker 3: then like, I don't really know who's getting minutes after that.
- 25:19Speaker 3: I also don't think that like Voch would be interesting
- 25:22Speaker 3: if Kaa were to miss, but he'd be I think
- 25:25Speaker 3: he'd be interesting because I would expect him to come
- 25:27Speaker 3: off with the bench. I was just kind of like
- 25:28Speaker 3: thinking through this how they would prefer to match up
- 25:31Speaker 3: in the second unit because the Knicks are gonna play
- 25:34Speaker 3: Mitchell Robinson a good bit here they are trying to
- 25:36Speaker 3: overlap him in cat More, but Luca Garza would just
- 25:39Speaker 3: be a terrible matchup for Mitchell Robinson. I feel like
- 25:43Speaker 3: they'd want to keep Vouch in the second unit to
- 25:45Speaker 3: pair up with UH with Mitch rob because he's also
- 25:49Speaker 3: been killed by Kat in the past. I just think
- 25:51Speaker 3: that they'd probably want to stagger him away. But I
- 25:54Speaker 3: still think that he'd play a good bit, and we
- 25:56Speaker 3: know that he can produce and he's only five K.
- 25:58Speaker 3: He'd have a pretty big offensive role coming his way.
- 26:01Speaker 3: If Cata were to miss, I'd be a little bit
- 26:03Speaker 3: interested in Voochs just to see what they they have.
- 26:05Speaker 3: They haven't played him for a ton of minutes. If
- 26:06Speaker 3: he feels like a guy, they'd want to get him
- 26:08Speaker 3: more going into the playoffs. And I also think that
- 26:11Speaker 3: the Knicks like they could deepen up their rotation a bit.
- 26:13Speaker 3: This is as healthy as they've been the entire season.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Like you have Mitch rob healthy, Moles McBride's healthy, collect
- 26:20Speaker 3: is out, but he hasn't really been playing much like Shammitt,
- 26:23Speaker 3: Alvarado Clarkson. All these guys are available, so they'll be
- 26:26Speaker 3: probably probably running a ten man rotation. So I don't
- 26:30Speaker 3: think the minute is going to be too crazy for them.
- 26:32Speaker 3: But we have clear spind ups in this game that
- 26:34Speaker 3: you can get to because we're gonna have the value
- 26:36Speaker 3: to get there.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Absolutely, we do have one game left on the slate. First,
- 26:41Speaker 2: just want to show if you have not seen her
- 26:43Speaker 2: home page, have not tried us out over at shipinnation
- 26:45Speaker 2: dot com, this is what we're looking at. NBA still
- 26:48Speaker 2: going PGA, MLB, MMA, NASCAR and NHL. They're right. There
- 26:52Speaker 2: is six sports, a lot of big, big prizes. Of course,
- 26:55Speaker 2: PGA locked for Classic Slate, but we do have Showdown content.
- 26:59Speaker 2: The prizes are going to be big, especially on Sunday,
- 27:02Speaker 2: IMIB in Full Force, MMA, Monster Week and this week
- 27:05Speaker 2: as well. Big prize out there. NASCAR always has big prizes.
- 27:09Speaker 2: If you want to check us out, join the nation
- 27:11Speaker 2: in the bottom of the left, and I think the
- 27:13Speaker 2: best deal right now is the five days, four nineteen
- 27:16Speaker 2: dollars takes you or it gets you all of these sports,
- 27:19Speaker 2: takes you through the weekend, get you Saber SIM and
- 27:21Speaker 2: get you access to the discord. Again, we would actually
- 27:24Speaker 2: love to have you. If you just want some single
- 27:26Speaker 2: sport action, you can see single sport NBA for the playoffs,
- 27:31Speaker 2: whatever it may be, all access if you know you'll
- 27:33Speaker 2: be with us for at least a month more. The
- 27:36Speaker 2: longer you're with us, the cheaper it gets. Obviously, the
- 27:39Speaker 2: different options you have. Starter you get to build three
- 27:42Speaker 2: or fifty more teams. You get Saber SIMS, projections and ownership.
- 27:45Speaker 2: On top of our contest Flashback Ultimate you get the SIMS.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Everything is laid out right here and again you can
- 27:52Speaker 2: find that at chip a Nation dot com. Let's go
- 27:56Speaker 2: back to our partner at sabersim and get into the
- 27:59Speaker 2: last game of the year for you Rio. Obviously not
- 28:03Speaker 2: the last game for the regular season, but this is
- 28:05Speaker 2: it Rio. The last game. We have Philadelphia seventy six
- 28:09Speaker 2: ers and the Houston Rockets six and that point favorite
- 28:12Speaker 2: to the Rockets two twenty six and a half total
- 28:15Speaker 2: on the Philly side, noeh MB, like you mentioned, no campaign.
- 28:19Speaker 2: On the Houston side, Tarry Easton is questionable. I think
- 28:22Speaker 2: it's pretty much copy and paste, like what we said
- 28:25Speaker 2: for the Miami, Toronto and Boston Knick stuff. It spends
- 28:29Speaker 2: or it's pretty much nothing in my opinion, but Tary
- 28:31Speaker 2: Easton news is relatively important. But you're not like back
- 28:35Speaker 2: if you don't have the news at four thirty, you're
- 28:37Speaker 2: not backloading like you just you just played how it is,
- 28:40Speaker 2: so it would just be bumps to some of the men.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Thompson's Jabari Smith if he is out. But yeah, what
- 28:47Speaker 2: do you how do you like to spend on this
- 28:48Speaker 2: game compared to some of the other ones. I'm the slate.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Yeah, before I go into guysh what's up to our boy?
- 28:55Speaker 3: Big Marley see you guys. Yeah, you were out his
- 28:59Speaker 3: way last weekend, right, did you guys.
- 29:01Speaker 2: End up with each other? Yep, Big Marley came out
- 29:03Speaker 2: with us on Saturday, So yeah, hung out with my man.
- 29:05Speaker 2: It was a good time.
- 29:07Speaker 3: It's always fun. Big Marri is a good time to
- 29:08Speaker 3: be around. There was my roommate for the ship at.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Trip there you go. Always fun.
- 29:15Speaker 3: But yeah, I think the spens in this game are
- 29:18Speaker 3: probably the best in the slate, and it definitely got
- 29:21Speaker 3: a lot easier to talk about with him beat out.
- 29:23Speaker 3: Like we mentioned the top of show, he's going to
- 29:24Speaker 3: be out for a while. Actually just saw another tweet
- 29:28Speaker 3: about it. But yeah, they say the average time loss
- 29:34Speaker 3: for end season surgeries around twenty three days. MEDIA in
- 29:37Speaker 3: eighteen days, so they got to get out of the
- 29:39Speaker 3: plane basically to get back to having him beat on
- 29:44Speaker 3: the court with them. And then yet, like you said,
- 29:46Speaker 3: Tar Easten downgraded to question well throughout the day, I
- 29:49Speaker 3: probably just start with him out honestly, because midday downgrade
- 29:52Speaker 3: is not good.
- 29:53Speaker 1: I think it's an illness tag as well.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Those are I mean, the hit rate on that has
- 29:57Speaker 3: got to be pretty high for a guy missing with
- 29:59Speaker 3: an illness. So I would probably start with him out,
- 30:01Speaker 3: which makes their side pretty easy because they've already been
- 30:04Speaker 3: running a really tight rotation. Both these teams need to
- 30:07Speaker 3: win as well. With one of the standings. The Sixers
- 30:10Speaker 3: are in eighth place and they could drop to nine
- 30:12Speaker 3: with a loss, but they could also get all the
- 30:15Speaker 3: way up to six with a couple wins. They need,
- 30:18Speaker 3: you know, the Magic and the Raptors to lose. Outside
- 30:22Speaker 3: shit outside shot of getting to five, I actually don't
- 30:24Speaker 3: think that's even possible, but they they can move up
- 30:28Speaker 3: a lot and getting out of the plane would be huge.
- 30:30Speaker 3: So definitely think that we're getting a lot of minutes
- 30:33Speaker 3: from the main guys here. We know who's going to
- 30:35Speaker 3: Tyrese MAXI obviously tough matchup against Amen, but I'm kind
- 30:39Speaker 3: of just looking past that because we're gonna get so
- 30:41Speaker 3: many minutes from him that's gonna be tough for him
- 30:42Speaker 3: to really fail in a big way. And then Paul
- 30:45Speaker 3: George been playing great as of late. He's eight point
- 30:48Speaker 3: three K. I think that's a fair price sag for him.
- 30:50Speaker 3: He's probably playing like thirty eight tonight. I don't know
- 30:53Speaker 3: who's gonna be guarding him. I think it would be Jabari
- 30:55Speaker 3: on him, could be somebody else, but I think Jabari
- 30:58Speaker 3: makes the most sense, which means that VJ. Edgecombe is
- 31:01Speaker 3: probably getting the weakest matchup or at least the weakest
- 31:04Speaker 3: defender on him. On defense, I think I don't know
- 31:08Speaker 3: if if it would be KD, that doesn't make a
- 31:10Speaker 3: lot of sense. I feel like Reed Shepperd would probably
- 31:11Speaker 3: be the guy they'd go to on him, which just
- 31:14Speaker 3: means that he's gonna have a very, very attackable matchup.
- 31:17Speaker 3: So I think that he's pretty interesting just for the
- 31:19Speaker 3: fact that his matchup's gonna be very good and we
- 31:20Speaker 3: know that he can play forty plus minutes. So all
- 31:23Speaker 3: three of those guys are in play, I think it's
- 31:25Speaker 3: probably a Max two, but I don't like I don't
- 31:28Speaker 3: know if a three of them, three of those guys
- 31:29Speaker 3: makes sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see
- 31:32Speaker 3: three of those guys put up scores that you could
- 31:35Speaker 3: use together. Yeah, I still prefer the upside of Max
- 31:39Speaker 3: and Paul George over VJ, but I do think Vj's
- 31:41Speaker 3: in a pretty good spot here. Can consider Kelly Oubrean,
- 31:44Speaker 3: Quinton Grimes, because one of these guys is probably gonna
- 31:46Speaker 3: play a good bit, and then I think Andrey Drummond
- 31:49Speaker 3: is a little bit interesting as well. The Rockets, we know,
- 31:52Speaker 3: are one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA.
- 31:54Speaker 1: That was kind of their their identity coming into.
- 31:57Speaker 3: The year where they were going to be a really
- 31:59Speaker 3: good rebounding team with Steven Adams. But even so without
- 32:03Speaker 3: Steven Aams are still one of the best. And Andre Drummond,
- 32:05Speaker 3: I think, just matches up a little bit better here
- 32:07Speaker 3: where they want to limit offensive rebounding. So I think
- 32:09Speaker 3: that he's kind of interesting because we know that he
- 32:11Speaker 3: still has the upside when he's given the minutes around
- 32:14Speaker 3: one fantasy, more permanent producer, so like twenty eight to
- 32:17Speaker 3: thirty minutes from him get the double double bonus.
- 32:19Speaker 1: I think that's kind of interesting.
- 32:22Speaker 3: On the Houston side of things, the Sixers are just
- 32:25Speaker 3: an all around bad defense, but they actually do get
- 32:27Speaker 3: a little bit better with him beat off the court.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Just the pick and roll defense a little bit better
- 32:30Speaker 3: because you have a couple more versatile defenders out there,
- 32:33Speaker 3: and then their transition defense is a little.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Bit better with him out as well.
- 32:37Speaker 3: But even so, I still think this is a really
- 32:39Speaker 3: good spot for the Houston offense. This is the type
- 32:42Speaker 3: of game where I like Kevin Durant, a game where
- 32:44Speaker 3: you need to roll on him for offense against a better,
- 32:47Speaker 3: more competitive opponent, like I'd go away from him against
- 32:50Speaker 3: like the like the Jazz, and like the Bucks, and
- 32:55Speaker 3: like any of the tanking teams, like go away from KD.
- 32:57Speaker 3: But this is the spot where I'd be looking to go.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Heavy on D.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Same thing for Sengoon. I think that he's in a
- 33:02Speaker 3: great spot here regardless. The Sixers just cannot defend on
- 33:06Speaker 3: the interior. And then Amen, I think Amen is probably
- 33:09Speaker 3: one of the best players on the slate at seven point.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Eight k uh.
- 33:12Speaker 3: He's probably playing forty plus minutes here. They need him
- 33:14Speaker 3: for the matchup against MAXI set up for a lot
- 33:17Speaker 3: of success on offense as well, with a Sixers being
- 33:20Speaker 3: such a poor rim defense and bad in transition, I
- 33:22Speaker 3: think that he's great. And then Jabari and Reid are
- 33:25Speaker 3: gonna round things out. I think both got to be
- 33:26Speaker 3: very very firmly in play. With tar Easton probably missing
- 33:29Speaker 3: this game, read Shepherd, if you tell me he's playing
- 33:32Speaker 3: like thirty five thirty six, I would definitely be having
- 33:36Speaker 3: a heavy overweight stance on him.
- 33:37Speaker 2: In particular, you find playing Reed, Shepherd On Thompson and
- 33:42Speaker 2: KD with Maxi on the other side and just fully
- 33:44Speaker 2: pun everything else. If I say time like Shepherd, Thompson
- 33:50Speaker 2: and KD, you'd be fine with that.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'd be fine with that.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean this feels like the clear game. Like
- 33:57Speaker 2: you said, to get spent. I think it's Jason Tatum
- 33:59Speaker 2: that people play. Especially if Derek whites out, he gets
- 34:02Speaker 2: even a bigger boost. But even if he is in,
- 34:04Speaker 2: and if you want contrarian ones, it feels like it's
- 34:07Speaker 2: the Miami Toronto to an extent, like the Bams, the Scottis,
- 34:10Speaker 2: the Ingrams are j Barrett Heroes. It feels like that's
- 34:14Speaker 2: the game that people go to for contrarian spens. But
- 34:18Speaker 2: I'm really easy to actually, I did like your drumming
- 34:21Speaker 2: shout Centers. I mean it's gonna be Julian Reese or
- 34:24Speaker 2: it's Spend. It feels like and Julian Reese I think
- 34:25Speaker 2: will be one of the most popular on the sites.
- 34:28Speaker 2: But that's seventeen hundred lesses Drummond. So it gets on
- 34:30Speaker 2: a little different build and sabread and projected at twenty
- 34:34Speaker 2: two minutes. You said twenty eight to thirty that's or
- 34:37Speaker 2: twenty three minutes about Saberhead and projected that's five to
- 34:40Speaker 2: seven minutes for a Fantasy point per mintic guy like
- 34:43Speaker 2: you mentioned. So if he does get those minutes, I
- 34:45Speaker 2: think that could be really really sneaky and then you
- 34:48Speaker 2: can eat all the chalk around it. So I do
- 34:50Speaker 2: like that call. But yeah, me to wrap it up,
- 34:52Speaker 2: first game value, you can't even spend if you want
- 34:55Speaker 2: second game. Contrarian spends no value, third game value even
- 35:00Speaker 2: spend if you want fourth game in my opinion, still
- 35:03Speaker 2: spend spends, mid tier whatever. But the Cada White news
- 35:07Speaker 2: important more white for Boston, but both of them important
- 35:10Speaker 2: for Brunson or Cats since they're good defenders. Philly, Houston
- 35:14Speaker 2: great spend ups, gonna get ownership, but enough value to
- 35:17Speaker 2: get different around them, is how I see it. So
- 35:20Speaker 2: that's my that's my breakdown. Any thing else you want
- 35:24Speaker 2: to say, you broke it down really well, like always
- 35:26Speaker 2: the last slate of the year and yeah, five games.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Anything else, No, not really, just appreciate the support as
- 35:35Speaker 3: always been a fun season. Yeah, I think feel like
- 35:40Speaker 3: the season was a little bit more stressful than usual
- 35:42Speaker 3: with just with all the tanking stuff going on, but
- 35:45Speaker 3: they're gonna get something figured out there. But I'm just
- 35:48Speaker 3: looking forward to the uh the lottery now seeing where
- 35:51Speaker 3: my Jazz end up, and then some some real basketball.
- 35:54Speaker 3: And I think the play interm is that next weekend.
- 35:57Speaker 3: I got double check, but I feel like it's there's
- 35:59Speaker 3: a little bit of time off after Sunday. Yeah, I
- 36:02Speaker 3: definitely agree with you, Colin. Can't wait for playoffs. We
- 36:05Speaker 3: will have a lot of a lot of content available
- 36:07Speaker 3: for that, a lot of showdown stuff. So I'm excited
- 36:10Speaker 3: excited for the NBA Championship to you know, go with
- 36:13Speaker 3: our guy little next content for that will be be
- 36:15Speaker 3: a good time.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Yeah, even the conference finals and I'm ill have cotton
- 36:19Speaker 2: up I think prior for sure the conference stuff when
- 36:22Speaker 2: they start being one game on the sleep. But yeah,
- 36:25Speaker 2: the prizes get good and it's a lot of watching
- 36:28Speaker 2: the games in the NBA like regular season, a lot
- 36:30Speaker 2: of it's projection based later in the year like now,
- 36:33Speaker 2: watching the games, knowing the rotations, all that very helpful.
- 36:37Speaker 2: But playoffs, again, one game can complete. Coach can have
- 36:40Speaker 2: a completely different game plan. With Steven Adams, a double
- 36:43Speaker 2: big lineup like Houston, and if you're not on that,
- 36:46Speaker 2: you'll be left behind hoping to min cast and probably
- 36:49Speaker 2: still not even doing that. So yeah, we'll still have
- 36:51Speaker 2: all the written content up for the playoffs. Real phenomenal job,
- 36:55Speaker 2: always good talking hoops with you, Haim, and I will
