Also, 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.480 the last week, I was talking a lot about this 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.160 Cop Turley series that I saw on Vice Sports, Um, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.600 and I want to get into that a little bit. Um. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.600 You know, we've been talking here on the fantasy Freestyle 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.639 about the pain management, the marijuana advocacy in the NFL. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.440 And you know a lot of news coming out recently 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.560 what the Players Association file the grievance against the NFL 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.720 with the treatment of prescription pills and pain killers and 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.640 things of that nature.

Then we'll get into all that as we 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.799 put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. Come on back, 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.640 We're gonna get into it. You know what it is. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.920 It should boyd Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statustician. We're 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.840 gonna have a good old time here on a Monday 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.280 at Rock and Riley's. It's the Fantasy Freestyle here on 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.920 the award winning the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're gonna 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.079 talk NBA players with Donnie Burns, the Love Doctor. Come 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:16.200 on back. Ah, there's a little red and meth bringing 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.920 it back into the fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.760 Sports Radio Network from my boy Donnie Burns on the 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.680 ones in Too So Hot that we Sweat Steam, giving 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.520 you that meth man and that Red men oh Man 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.640 when they got together for that movie How High. That 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.880 was an incredible movie. How They They even renamed like 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.520 the S A T S. They they they did a 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.240 research project where Ben Franklin had the first ever bong. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.800 It was very crazy. UM, big shout out to meThe 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.240 Man and Red Man. But we are here on the 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.880 Fantasy Sports Radio Network and I'm gonna get into my 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.000 starting lineup Speed Sports starting lineup, news and notes from 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.000 around Major League Baseball. We gotta start with the New 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.240 York Yankees, who have placed their closer, her oldest Chapman. 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.040 Why your oldest violence, Um on the d L with 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.120 shoulder inflammation and that is never a good sign. But 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.480 the funny part is he was still throwing a hundred 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.120 and one mile an hour last week while he was 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.800 complaining of shoulder kind of irritation or inflammation. He says 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.480 he's had this before and that you know, after his 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.640 rest a few weeks that he was okay. I think 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.640 that was back in two thousand and twelve. So if 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.800 as if you didn't know, you need to go right 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.440 now and go see if Dylan Batances is owned in 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.320 your league, because right now he is unowned in fifteen 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.440 of leagues. Okay, So if you're at the bar right 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.200 now at happy hour like Rock and Riley's, for example, 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.080 you went for your boys, you went for your girls. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.839 Someone there is in a league where you could just 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.599 get right now Dylan batances and elite closer numbers for 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.640 the next month, maybe even longer. So go on out 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.600 and check that. Um the a's I told you activated 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.800 Sean Mania. He's coming back from a shoulder injury for 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.360 their start tonight against Seattle. He's taking that spot. Remember 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.680 that Durrell Cotton was in because they sent him down. A. J. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.160 Pollock left the game today with a groin injury and 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.280 he's been sent to the ten day d L. This 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.719 is interesting to watch because Polock has a history of 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.000 groin issues. Remember he heard it before earlier this year. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.279 He also missed most of the two thousand and sixteen 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.760 season with that grow with a groin injury, so that 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.760 is definitely something to keep an eye on. Also, as 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.080 Rubal Cabrera confirmed that he does in fact have torn 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.320 ligaments in his thumb. The reason I bring this up 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.560 because I know as rubal Cabrera is not on a 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.560 lot of your teams. I know you've got to be 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.479 in pretty much like a deep NL league for this 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.520 to truly matter. But if you do, remember last week, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.640 the Mets said that they did an m r I 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.479 and that there was no tear in any ligaments in 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.400 his Cabrera stands. So it's just continued evidence of the 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.279 Mets medical staff really janking it up. Um. Also, remember 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.800 we've been talking about these hamstring injuries earlier in the 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.760 Major League Baseball season. Hunter Pence goes to the Giants 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.120 to the d L with a hamstring injury. Carlos Gomez 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.240 goes to the d L for the Rangers with a 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.080 hamstring injury. So make sure you set those in your 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.320 lineups for this week. Also, I gave you a lot 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.640 of options over the weekend when we were here. First 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.360 of all, again big shout out to Miko got Tu 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.080 Sou and Sam soger Um a man's old dog, and 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.240 Zippy from the All City Hour coming to on Friday. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.239 We had a good old time talking all things Derek Jeter, 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.280 talking all things um, you know, with the NBA playoffs 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:22.480 as well. Um, So they came on and we talked, 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.560 you know, we talked Jeter. But I also gave you 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.039 and I also gave you my starters for the weekend, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.800 and I did all right, man, I want to talk 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.120 about that real quick. I had Dylan Bundy on Friday. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.000 He gave you eight strikeouts, got to a quality start, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.640 was the picture of record until Vid'll know him, blew 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.880 it for him later on in that game against Kansas City. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.799 Remember you can continue to fade that Kansas City offense. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.560 Nothing good is happening there. That Royals under that I 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.720 had at the beginning of the season in the preseason 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.599 looks pretty good at this point as well. On Saturday, 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.200 I told you that, and you could have gone Stroman 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:55.720 and you could have gone k Hill, And both of 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.799 those guys pretty much had like minimum level and minimum 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.760 quality quality starts. Six innings and three yearned runs. I 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.680 think they both gave that up. But you could have 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:06.280 gone Chris Sale, And I told you if you wanted 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.000 to just be safe, you could have gone Chris Sale. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.000 He went seven and he struck out twelve. He has 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.680 now gone I think it's like six or seven games 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.680 with ten straight strikeouts. That guy might strike out three 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.520 hundred batters in this season his first season in Boston. 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.480 And then on Sunday, listen, I said again, the Aces 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.000 were the way to go. That was the Shures or 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:26.680 I think the Graham as well. One thing I know 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.040 is hopefully you did not go with Masahiro Tanaka because 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.120 after all of the hubbalu of Derek Jeter, the captain 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.440 somebody else? Who Now where's number two? Because of Derek Jeter. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.400 The only thing is it was on the Houston side 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.760 of things where Alex Bregman went off. Also, they we're 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.320 back to back homers to start off the game, so 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.280 you know Tanaka got shelled in that one. Moving on though, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.160 today it's all about today because you can continue to 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.080 win that cash right today. Wow, it is slim pickings 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.920 when you look at the pictures today, Brandon un FanDuel 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.600 Brandon McCarthy and Denistralia at eighty seven and eighty six 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.520 hundred are your most expensive options, So why pay up 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.920 for them? Okay, I'm gonna tell you a little diamond 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.880 in the rough that I like for tonight. Okay, Luis Perdomo. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:15.640 Luis Perdomo is only sixties six hundred, infandual. He's facing 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.920 the Milwaukee Brewers at home, and this is a brewer's 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.400 lineup that has no Ryan Braun that I think has 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.680 no Travis Shaw tonight. And Perdomo himself has had three 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.120 straight quality starts, has struck out at least five and 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.960 four of his last and four of his last five 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.000 starts had struck out seven in his last start, He's 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.000 gonna get groundballs for you remember there in San Diego. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.160 And I think that for only sixties hundred, especially with 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.320 nothing fancy on the board tonight, I would go down 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.840 a little bit. And Luis Perdomo is the guy I 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.559 like if you want to spend a little bit more 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.920 money Jesse Chavez, I continue to fade the Chicago White 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.240 Sox offense and the fact in this instance that my 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.520 man Chavez is facing Mike Pelfrey as his opponent. So 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.800 you know, I'm okay with fading Mike Belfrey and the 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.160 Chicago White Sox. Okay. Um, Here's one thing I do 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.640 want to talk to you guys about though, as we 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.440 keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle, I've been 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.120 telling you guys about all these different stats, you know, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:19.760 the launch angle, the exit velocity, even things like babit Um. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.760 Interesting piece that I saw last week about looking at 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.720 the picture side is the save stat outdated, you know, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.880 and I hear about you know, like Goose Gossage, you know, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.800 talking about how his generation, these guys would pitch two 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.640 and three innings, you know, guys like him and Raleigh 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.560 Fingers and even Lee Smith into the eighties, you know, 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.560 And now, what is it really as valuable to have 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.800 a guy come in maybe get three outs in the 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.640 ninth It may not even be against the meat of 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.200 the order and they get that save, and that save 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:52.880 is really what it comes down to when guys are 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.319 renegotiating their contracts. Remember Dylan Matanzas in the off season 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:01.040 and arbitration was dominant, but didn't have that save category 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.560 locked in and so it was not being paid like 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:08.240 an elite receiver. Well I got an idea for that, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.040 and it's this this stat that I saw out of 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.560 five thirty eight called the goose egg. Okay, and the 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.720 goose egg would be for any inning where you come 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.320 in and don't allow a run, you know, And there's 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.960 even you know, a formula they have like if you 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.720 inherit runners and things of that nature. But if you 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.760 come in in the seventh in year later and the 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.280 game is tied or you know, you're up by less 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.920 than three, like, what would be the same situation. I 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.760 think you should get this that a goose egg. Think 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.000 about the way Tito Francona used Andrew Miller in the 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:42.040 playoffs last year. He brought him into the highest leverage situations. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.520 He brought him in when he really needed it, and 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.600 Andrew Miller delivered. He didn't get many saves, but he 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.880 was clearly the integral piece of that Indian's bullpen. And 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.640 I liked this concept, okay. And one of the reasons 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.280 why I like this concept of the goose egg over 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.360 the save is in one of the p yars that 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.680 I saw this weekend. One of the pictures I saw 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.439 this weekend watching the Yankees Astro series is it's Kris 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:11.040 Davenski and this kid already has forty three strikeouts in 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.280 twenty three innings pitched. Is not getting hurt or touched 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.440 at all, not giving up runs, right, but he's pitching, 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.640 you know, the sixth and the seventh inning. He's pitching 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.880 the seventh or the eighth inning. He's pitching whenever A J. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.640 Hinch needs him to get critical outs for the Houston Astros. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.719 And I think that is the move. And I think that, Um, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.360 you know, we've never seen a picture get something like 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.600 sixty what uh five thirty calls goose eggs. But this 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:41.280 kid could be Um, this guy could be out there 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.160 for you. Okay, he is only he is only taken 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.240 right now in like fifty or sixty percent of leagues. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.679 And if you need things like E r A, if 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.200 you need things like whip, if you need things, I 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.400 know some head to head leagues that have strikeout per 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.559 nine innings or the sixteen point five nine strikeout per nine. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.920 This could be a guy. But I want to bring 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.280 it around to my man. All rise for Aaron Judge. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.040 Even though this guy is just striking out two batters 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.000 per nine innings. I saw him on Friday against Aaron Judge, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.839 and Aaron Judge my man worked a walk against him. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.520 That is just all the more testament to what Aaron 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.000 Judge is also doing this season. And before we keep 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.480 it moving and after the break we're gonna get into 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.600 the site, we're gonna start talking to NBA playoffs. I 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.160 want to say one thing because I got a bold 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.680 prediction for this week as it relates to the Los 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.000 Angeles Dodgers pictures staff. Remember teams have been using this 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.199 ten day d L. I think the Rodgers, the Dodgers 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.560 are doing this and in essence using like a six 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.040 or seven man rotation. Think about it. Today, is Brandon McCarthy, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.680 Rich Hill comes off the d L. Tomorrow, you got Kertshaw, 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.040 You've got Ryu who's been on the DL. You got 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.079 Cobb who's pitching well but has been on the d L, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.640 my Eta on the d L. Maybe my Ada comes 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.520 off the d L and all seven pitchers pitch for 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.120 the Los Angeles Dodgers this week. Let's keep an eye 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.280 on that as people go on and back off the 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.800 d L. When we come back NBA Playoff talks with 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.480 my people. It's your boy. Dane Martinez speeds the spitting 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.559 statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:25.200 Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Sometimes around slow, sometimes around quick. 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.960 I was on one, two five and Saint Nick waiting 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.040 on a cab yo. It's your man. Dane Martinez speeds 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.880 the spitting statistician here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.040 award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We are back on 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.800 a Monday here at Rock and Riley's here in midtown Manhattan, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.040 where the garden is lonely these days. No Knicks playoffs, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.920 Rangers got bounced out, although the w n b A 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.840 did get it started over the weekend. I know Fan 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.440 Duel is offering some w NBA contest and you may 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.560 even hear some stuff Adam oh Boy, Benny Riccardi on 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.560 w n b A DFS going forward. I know they 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.720 would talk about it on that DFS lineup. Lock I 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.079 got my man the Night Owl with me producing the show, 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.200 my Big Temple Owl intern here this summer. We're so 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.880 glad to have him here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.760 But before we get into the cipher, let me give 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.280 you some news and notes from around the NFL. A 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.319 lot of stuff coming out of the Seattle Seahawks camp today. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.240 Pete Carroll says the Seahawks are considering either Colin Kaepernick 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.360 or r G three in a backup role. First of all, 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.320 was that not exactly what I said last week when 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.960 I told you guys that I had potential landing spots 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.080 for Fitzpatrick, for uh, for these guys r G three 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.640 and Cap and I even when j Cutler was still 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.120 on the market, and I said that with Trayvon Boy 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.000 King having the legal issues that he's had in the 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.840 off season, and with the kind of similarities of being 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.600 able to have that mobile quarterback. I said that Seattle 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.680 could be a place for both Kaepernick and r G three. 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.560 We're gonna get into that a little bit later on 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.560 because I got a poll question about Colin Kaepernick. Also, though, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.320 Eddie Lacy, he had to weigh in. Remember he gots 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.160 a bone this he gets a performance bonus. I don't 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.760 know if performance is the right word per se, but 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.000 he gets fifty five thousand dollars if he was under 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.320 two hundred and fifty five pounds. That today's way in 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.360 It's like the Biggest Loser. It's like a reality TV show. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.280 He weighed in at two hundred and fifty three pounds, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.960 so he gets fifty five thousand more dollars. If he's 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.440 under two fifty by the starter training camp in July, 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.240 he gets another It triggers another bonus, and if he's 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:30.640 um under two forty five during the season, he gets 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.200 even more bonuses. Were hearing noise also though about some 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.000 rookies who are gonna have to quote unquote earn their spots. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.320 I think they're gonna wind up starting anyway, we hear 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.240 Jacksonville Doug Morone head coaches saying Leonard Fournette has to 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.960 quote unquote earned his spot. Guess what he's going to 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.840 You could have him as an RB two with confidence. 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.080 So what we're hearing about Mike Williams out there now 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.440 in the Los Angeles Chargers that he might have to 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.320 compete world role with Travis Benjamin. I'm gonna tell you though, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.960 Keenan Allen is not to be trusted as your number 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.000 and wide receiver. And you know, Terrell Williams is nice 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.840 and he'll be there as a two, but Mike Williams 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.240 is gonna get some time. You could also draft him 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.840 pretty high in some kind of dynasty league if you 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.160 if you wanted to moving on with that Mike Williams 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.480 at Clemson wide receiver. And also, these are some rookies 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.720 that gotta earn their spot. There are some veteran quarterbacks 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.800 that we're here in news that do not have their 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.440 spot just solidified as of yet. New Buffalo g M. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.640 Brendan Bean has said as when it goes to Tyrod Taylor, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.120 he is going to still turn over every stone looking 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.160 for that franchise quarterback. Remember They also drafted a kid 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.920 that I was high on out of Pittsburgh, Peterman. So 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.560 they are still clearly not enamored with Tyrod Taylor. Remember 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.800 there was a big question on if they were going 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.160 to resign him or not in this offseason. Also, the 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.160 same could be said down in Jacksonville, Okay. Head coach 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.880 Doug Marone says that Blake Borders quote unquote looks much better. 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.880 But then again, I mean as compared to what right. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.440 Blake Borders completely regressed Border Service gave it up to 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.600 people last year, and now the jaguar Ours don't get 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.440 it twisted. They are building. You know, they went hard 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.800 in defensive free agency, getting a j Blue yea, getting 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.119 Klais Campbell and others. Okay, they have all the weapons 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.520 they need. They drafted who could be a feature back 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.320 for them. It's really do or die for Blake Bortles 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.240 and the quarterback spot this year for the Jacksonville Jaguas. 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.560 Let's keep it moving here in the Cipher on the 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.640 Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Here in the Fantasy Freestyle, which 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.040 boys speeds the spins and statistician, I want to get 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.120 into the NBA playoffs. Boy, did we have a playoff 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:31.679 run as I bring in the night out with me 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.479 as well. First of all, on Friday night, Yo, John Wall, 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.320 who showing some onions at the last second, hitting the 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.440 game winning three after the Celtics went in there where 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.879 in all black, as though we're going to be the 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.760 funeral for them. Game seven is their reward up in Boston. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.639 That is gonna be getting started in about thirty minutes 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.600 as we come down towards the bottom and out of 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.119 the hour here on the Fantasy Freestyle. So that was 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.000 great and all right, and we're gonna talk about Game 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.680 seven in a hot second. But yesterday's Western Conference Finals 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.440 Golden State Warriors, who were down by twenty at halftime, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.919 down by as much as twenty five, who now have 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:15.280 their you know, their spinal fluid coach Steve Kerr back, 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.119 you know, offering words of encouragement and halftime and understanding 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.560 the rotations. We have Chef Curry scoring forty, and then 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.600 we have obviously a controversial play. You know, I gotta 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.199 bring in my boy JP here. Now, um, what do 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.119 you think about Game one with this? Does this like 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.280 take the soul of the San Antonio Spurs because they 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.919 saw what they could do but now know that Kauai 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.960 is going to be banged up and probably won't be 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.160 in a game two. Yeah. I'd say the most telling 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.919 thing about that is hearing UM coach Popovich is um. 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.560 He had a press conference this morning where he just 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.439 kind of went off, oh yeah, yeah, and he was 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.560 just like, you know what, like taking Kauai out of 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.119 the game on that dirty play, Like that's that's not okay, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:55.960 and that's not okay for our team. So that's very 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.000 telling for me where the Spurs are And what do 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:59.920 you think about One question I have about the Warrior 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.159 is like it it looked like yesterday and then in 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.639 this matchup, it needs to be Steph Curry. That is 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.800 really the engine here, if you will, of the offense, 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.480 which is, you know, we haven't really seen Curry get 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.760 going to what looked like the crazy levels that we 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.920 saw about a year or two ago. Do you see 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.199 him maybe taking a bigger a bigger step in this 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.159 series if you know it was gonna be Kauai guarding 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.160 Kevin Durant, do you see do you see Steph having 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.200 his stars line right here? Yeah? I mean for sure 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.000 in the first half you saw him not really shoot 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:30.600 as much and they went down a lot. And you've 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.040 see in the second half, regardless of Kawai's energy injury, 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.320 he comes out and he starts ball and he starts 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.080 hitting threes left and right, and they came back real 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:39.719 quick that way. So I mean, if that's why it's 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.160 got to be done, he knows it, and he's gonna 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.960 get it done for sure, for sure. And you know, 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.639 you brought up the idea of how Gregg Popovich went 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.240 absolutely off on jaz calling it I think an unnatural 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.960 close out, alerting I mean not alerting, but reminding everybody 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.600 that Jazza has done this before. And so that's why 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.439 we also we had this up as a poll question 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.840 here on that f n T s Y radio Twitter 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.040 owl and also at spitting Speeds, was the Zaja Petrulia 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.800 play that her Kawhi Leonard a dirty play? Right now? 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.240 And I gotta tell you, Donny Burns, you know about this. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.399
