Big Three. Also, it's interesting we 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.280 got a lot of reaction and yesterday's show to the 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.760 idea of the participation trophies. Remember I played that clip 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.640 about Bryce Harper addressing some little leaguers and kind of 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.760 the applause that happened in the background.

You got time right 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.360 now to vote. We're gonna be talking about that a 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.600 little bit later on when we come back. I'm gonna 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.959 give you that starting lineup who you need to win 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.120 that cash and Major League Baseball Tonight.

A Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Lets 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.200 ship boy Dane Martinez here with my man Donnie Burns 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.120 on the ones in two is giving a little nice 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.400 and smooth as funky as we come on back to 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.000 close out a great May that we've had here on 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.720 the Fantasy Freestyle, as we're starting to move past Memorial 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.120 Day into truly the boys of Summer, and that means baseball. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.760 So let me get right into it. Given you my 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.000 news and notes from around Major League Baseball. Here. Bryce 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.040 Harper had his suspension reduced to three games. Remember there 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.560 was that brawl earlier on this week. We've been talking 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.760 about it all week long. But he is in fact 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.000 going to start serving that three game suspension today, so 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.000 he's probably gonna be out of the lineup, so you know, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.120 make those changes accordingly. Also, Tampa Bay Ray starting pitcher 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.320 Matt Andrews, he's gonna go to the d L. He 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.560 had a mid three e r A for the first 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.480 two months of the season. He was doing all right. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.720 He's got a groin strain. They're saying that it's actually 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.680 mild um so this could be one of those cases 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.800 of roster manipulation. They think that because Tampa has a 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.280 few off days coming up in the next ten days, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.360 they could put him on the shelf, can go with 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.159 a four man rotation and allow Andreies to heal. We 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.960 shall see about that. Marlon Slugger, Gian Carlos Stanton his 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.960 day to day with a hamstring cramp. He's got a 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.479 little bit of a hamstring issue. Listen, We've been talking 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.520 about this during the season. Those hamstring injuries, you need 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.480 to rest, take the actual time that you need to 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.719 make sure you're a percent. My case in point is 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.880 Mr Yo ns Cespitas. He's been sidelined as soon as 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:43.680 they try to bring him back a little too early. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.840 He then missed the following month. Also going to the 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.240 d L. Vince Velasquez from the Philadelphia Phillies, He's got 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.599 an elbow flex or strain. This is concerning to me 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.279 for two reasons. One, this is a guy who has 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.520 already had Tommy John surgery, so an time there's some 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.120 kind of strain or issue in that elbow again, it's 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.040 a big concern. And you know there's another Philly who 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.359 had this exact same injury and it ended his career. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.039 That was Cliff Lee. After he had this injury, he 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.480 never pitched again. So keep an eye out on Vince 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.160 Velasquez also here at the Fantasy Freestyle, I want to 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.320 tip our cap formally to Albert pool Holes, who hit 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.320 his five hundred and ninety nine career home run yesterday. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.599 He sits at ninth place all time. Interesting part is 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.440 he's done it. This is his seventeenth major League baseball season. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.600 The top seven on the all time list all played 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.120 twenty two years in Major League baseball. Okay, Bonds, Aaron 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.200 ruth A, Rod May's GRIFFI, and even Tomy Jim Tommy 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.479 Sammy Sosay's ninth on the eighth on the list six 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.719 hundred and nine career home runs. You gotta think Albert 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.640 pool Holes will pass him this season as well. If 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.160 you're wondering who the next two active home run guys, 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.440 it's Miguel Cabrera with four hundred fifty one and then 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.880 Adrian Beltrey with four hundred and forty five. They will 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.520 continue to go up the all time rankings as well. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.720 Keep it a moving here though, as we give you 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.359 my starting line ups. As you know here in the 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.360 Fantasy Freestyle, we hold ourselves accountable speeds. Isn't just out 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.120 there saying random stuff. On the following day, I hold 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.800 myself accountable. You could check the tape if you download 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.200 on iTunes or Google Play, audio, Boom, I, Heart Radio, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.280 tuning radio, whatever the case may be. If you heard 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.839 yesterday's show, I told you I did not like Chris 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.560 Sale at that eleven thousand price going against his former team. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.039 I was in because the White Sox hit lefties. I 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.080 told you there were ways to beat him. Uh. Sale 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.520 through five innings, gave up five runs. He did strike 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.720 out nine and did get the win because the Red 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.960 Sox ultimately won that game thirteen to seven. But I 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.279 said that there were two guys that I liked that 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.040 were two thousand dollars cheaper that I wanted to use 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.760 to beat him. The first was Verlander against that piss 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.239 poor Kansas City Royals offense. He got a quality start 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.040 when seven innings, giving up only one run, striking out five, 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.159 So that was better than Sale. But the other guy 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.919 I gave you, and I've been telling you that he 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.960 is my guy all season long. I have been high 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.000 on this guy, and it is Robbie Ray. Robbie Ray 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.400 with a complete game shutout last night. He struck out 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.560 ten against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He now has a streak 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.400 of twenty four and two thirds scoreless innings. I call it. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.239 You know, we used to have that show Shot Callers. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.520 That was a shot called by your boys, Spees, the 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.680 spitting statistician. I'm gonna tell you tonight who to go 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.800 for as well tonight the chalk. The most expensive guy 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.440 out there is Max Scherzer. And listen, Max Scherzer is 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.120 a great picture out there in San Francisco. That's a 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.920 nice Um Pictures ballpark. But I am leary of this 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.880 series because remember we had the brawl. Could there be 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.880 some retribution? I don't know, so I'm staying away from 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.640 that because of the bad blood. Who knows what's going 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.160 on in that game. Two guys though, that I think 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.080 are very viable tonight. So you want to get these 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.040 guys in your lineups if you can. First, as obviously 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.440 Jacob deGrom. Jacob Degram at eleven thousand from two hundred, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.800 going against going against Um who they're playing tonight, going 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.600 against the Brewers, I believe, yeah. And the Brewers are 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.840 second most strikeouts in the National League. They have struck 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.120 out four hundred and eighty four times already. Only the 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.960 Padres have more. And Graham has been a strikeout machine. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.800 In his last three home starts, and his last three 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.240 home starts against the Angels, the Giants, and the Nationals, 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.840 He's had thirty strikeouts in those three home starts. The 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.720 Mets are also minus one seventy five tonight. They are 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.000 your biggest home favorite on the board. I like me 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.600 some to Graham, the other guy, I like we have 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.480 the return of James Paxton tonight hundred being activated from 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.400 the disabled list for the Seattle Mariners. This guy was 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.960 nasty if you remember in the first month or two 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.880 of the season, with a one point four three e 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.120 r A. I like that right now. So my guy 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.480 would be Packston. If you want to, you know, not 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.160 spend as much money, get a little bit of a value. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:59.320 Packs at eight hundred is my shot called four tonight. Um. 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.240 I think it's very interesting though. We have that poll 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.240 question up right. We have that poll question, do you 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.720 agree with the participation trophy culture? Right now? It's very interesting. 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.880 Only three percent of you are saying yes, you agree 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.400 with kind of like everyone winning games and then ties 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.920 give the trophy to everybody. Seventy of you say no, 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.000 and of you say only up to a certain age 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.760 I can I can see that if maybe you know 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.000 you're not a teenager yet with you know, you had 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.480 a team of seven seven year old I can see 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.280 how you want to, you know, kind of give everybody 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.000 the trophy there. A little bit later on, though, I'm 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.960 gonna ask my man Donnie Burns what he thinks that 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.840 age line is, because some of you guys do think 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.600 up to a certain age. But it brings me to 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.480 another story I wanted to talk to you guys about. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.439 I read something Advice this week that I thought it 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.679 was interesting, and they're talking about, um, the New York 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.400 Yankees and how they're kind of fun again. And part 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.560 of the reason they're saying that the Yankees are fun 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:58.000 again is because they're now removed from was that what 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:02.480 was that George Steinbrenner win at all costs kind of 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.400 culture okay, or kind of mindset you know they were 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.920 under George, they were these kind of championship or bust, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.680 and so the fans started to believe it too. Now 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.480 you know, we're here in New York and Rock and 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.920 Riley's and Midtown Manhattan in Studio thirty four. So these 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.040 New Yorkers over here probably no but the Yankees haven't 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.640 won a World Series since two thousand and nine, you know, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.839 and that culture they used to win at multiple World 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.199 Series every decade, you know, and they have been kind 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.920 of non contenders for a long stretch, I would say, 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.280 the longest stretch since I don't know, the mid eighties. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.040 You know, when I was growing up and you had 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.560 Ricky Henderson and you know, Wullie Randolph, Dave Winfield and 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.240 those guys. But this run of like their core four 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.040 and all those championships. You know, it was sustaining the 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.480 fans for a while because you had the Mariano Rivera 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.319 retirement ceremony, the Derek Jeter tour, you know all that stuff. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.719 But now you know what happened last year when they 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.320 weren't expected to do anything. Gary Sanchez came on the scene, 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.600 and they made a little run in the second half, right, 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.280 They didn't make the playoffs, but here's the thing, it 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.760 was still considered a success. And now you know, you 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.480 had this like glass glass half full kind of thing. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.080 And now fans that are seeing the development of guys 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.080 like Sanchez and Severino and Bird and of course Aaron 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.400 Judged this year, it makes it like you can still 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.520 celebrate that even if they fall short. Now they're kind 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.200 of a head of schedule, right, But when you see 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:30.480 that development and you see you know, kind of uh, 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.640 the glass half full, I wonder if that, on a 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.640 team level means people would answer this pole question a 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.120 little bit different the idea of the participation trophies. Because 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.520 last year's Yankees team did not make the playoffs, did 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.960 not win at all, did not you know, achieve that 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.400 ultimate success, yet the fans were still happy. Is that 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.560 like the parents of the little league team where the 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.200 boy who doesn't finish in first place still gets the trophy? 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.520 Are you're still happy? I wonder, you know, I understand 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.080 that on an individual level, you want to earn and 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.240 you want to win you know, first place or bus. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.120 But at the team level, as a fan, can you 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:10.000 still be happy about your team's you know, production or 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.360 ultimate result every single year? Because I remember as a 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.160 Yankee fan having that culture of World Series or bust, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.839 and I gotta tell you the truth, I'm enjoying this 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.839 Yankees team even if they don't win the World Series. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.040 I am still happy about it. Does that mean I'm 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.760 a fan who wants to participation trophy for the Yankees. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.559 I'm not sure, um, but I do think it's interesting 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.560 when you look at it at the team level or 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.400 the individual level. When we come back here on the 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.840 Fantasy Freestyle, first of all, I'm gonna ask Donnie Burns, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.000 as a basketball coach, what he thinks that line is 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.960 up to a certain age. And then we're gonna go 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.440 into m v P prices for the NBA Finals. All 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.640 that and a lot more coming up when we come 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.000 back here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.280 Radio Network, and of course, big shout out to our 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.640 Sports Byline affiliates around the country and with the American 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.520 Forces Radio Network around the world. Whether you're listening live 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.480 or your download later on the Fantasy Sports Radio and app, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.360 We'll take it either way as long as you still 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.559 get to hear Fantasy Freestyle. So come all right back 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:25.280 here here some more. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.600 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Networks. Your boy, Dame 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.640 Martinez Speeds are spitting statistician holding you down on a 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.760 Wednesday evening here at a Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.760 Midtown Manhattan. Here's what I wanna do. We're gonna get 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.400 into the cipher. I gotta give you some news and 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.319 notes from around the NFL because you know, it's it's interesting. 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.760 It's about time some people are starting to think about 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.480 fantasy football, and you know O. T. A is going on. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.560 I told you we're gonna be bombarded by what I 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.200 call greatest shape of his life stories. I told you 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.800 last week that we're gonna get bombarded by those, and 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.800 there are some more. For example, Jets tight end Austin 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.160 Safarian Jenkins. They're saying he's lost twenty pounds, okay, but 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.160 they also revealed he also revealed that he has been 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.640 clean since January, that he was in rehab, that he 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.400 has graduated from rehab, and uh that alone with losing 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.640 twenty pounds, they're saying he is impressing at O. T. 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.960 A s he's gonna be battling with rookie at A 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.040 Clemson Jordan Leggett for that tight end opportunity for the Jets. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.680 And remember moving from an offense that they had on 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.680 the Chan Gailly where they did not use the tight 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.120 end at all, to this offense now bringing in the 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.280 guy who was the Saints quarterbacks coach Morton as their 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.480 offensive coordinator, they are going to utilize the tight end, 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.320 so there may be opportunity here for a s j um. 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.600 Also in O T S we're hearing Julius Thomas now 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.760 with the Miami Dolphins. They're saying, quote unquote, he will 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.280 be a thing in the Dolphins scheme. Remember Thomas played 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.680 under Adam Gays in Denver years back, and in twenty 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.080 seven games with the Denver Broncos he had twenty four touchdowns. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.520 So it seems like Adam Gays no how to get 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.760 the best out of Julius Thomas. Consider that when you're 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.680 in that kind of soft tier of tight ends, a 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.040 lot of people think that anywhere from tight end eight 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.600 to fifteen are kind of the same value. Maybe Julius 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.760 Thomas is in that tier as well. Another greatest Shape 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.920 of his life story for your Bears running back Jordan Howard. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.800 They say he is noticeably slimmer this year, a k 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.120 a greatest shape of his life. Howard himself said that 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.000 he is losing weight because he wants to try to 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.400 stay on the field and be a three down running back. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.800 He says, quote, I feel like some people think I 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.960 was a one year wonder. He wants to get down 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.480 and play a two five pounds. Last year he was 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.080 at two thirty. I gotta tell you something. They're gonna 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.760 need production at a Jordan Howard this year on the Bears. 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.600 Look at this wide receiver death chart for the Bears. 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:49.120 I'm talking Cameron Meredith, Kevin White, Marcus Wheaton, Kendall Wright, 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.480 and Victor Cruz are the five options right now for 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.120 the Bears. So yeah, Jordan Howard, you are going to 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.720 see some production one new out of ot As that 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.040 I think it's actually important. This is not the greatest 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.760 shape of his life kind of story. Corey Coleman, the 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.520 wide receiver for the Browns, was injured at O t 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.440 As while diving for a catch Hugh Jackson. The coach 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.920 says he will be out a little while and they 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.800 are not sure if he's gonna be in team activities 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.400 next month. Remember Corey Coleman also had a freak accident 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.160 um injury last year where he broke his hand um, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.640 so maybe he is the dreaded injury prone tag. Remember 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.840 your boy Speeds will be holding you down all summer long, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.040 giving you what you need as you start to enter 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:37.360 into fantasy football drafts. But we got the NBA Finals 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.040 going on, so it's time for me to bring in 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.840 my man, the love doctor and the basketball correspondent of 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.440 Fantasy Freestyle. It is my man, Donnie Burns on the 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.640 ones and two is keeping it so hot that we 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.800 sweat steam. We've been talking about the Finals, which will 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.200 kick off maybe tip off is a better word. Tomorrow 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.200 nine p m. Eastern will be Game one. We broke 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.480 down some of the matchups. I want to horn in 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.360 a little little bit on the guys down low, Tristan Thompson, 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.960 and in my opinion, will be Javelle McGhee because more 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.240 bad blood and more heat added to the fire we have. 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.359 Quote uh. Dave McManaman from ESPN reported that an anonymous 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.160 Cavs player said about Javelle McGhee quote unquote, he will 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.800 not be able to stay on the court this series 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:25.720 because he's not smart enough to play in this series. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.679 I think yo shots fired, continuing this war of words. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.000 These two teams do not like each other. I'm very excited. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.879 But here's my question for you, Donnie Burns, where do 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.320 you think Miguel Javelle McGee will be in this series? 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:41.600 Do you think his role will be to kind of 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.000 bang inside with Tristan Thompson. Will he be the guy 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.040 that has to maybe go out to the perimeter and 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.800 guard a guy like Kevin Love. Where do you see 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.680 because you know, if Draymond is on Lebron, who's gonna 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.160 be out there on Kevin Love? Might it be Javelle McGhee. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.080 What do you see for Javelle McGhee's role in this series? 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.440 I think he's gonna like an important role because I 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.680 don't see Zaza Petulia doing it. And remember when the 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.280 Warriors were up three one on the Calves last year, 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.480 a man by the name of Andrew Bogett had a 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.760 big role. What do you think McGhee does in this series? 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.800 Will he continue to just be shocked in a fool Yeah? Well, 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.359 like he's just mentioned, I don't believe that he's smart 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.359 enough to play with Tristan Thompson. Here's the thing with Tristan, 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.359 So you agree with this anonymous Cavalier player, I do. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.960 And here's the thing with Tristin Thompson. Like I mentioned 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.720 the other day, he's such a demoralizing player in terms 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.679 of those offensive rebounds. If you give the best player 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.760 in the world a second chance at the bucket. I mean, 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.040 that's that's why I have Calves in six. I think 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.240 Tristin Thompson, like I said that you have Calves in six, 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.320 exactly Calves in six. Okay, we're gonna want I can 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.199 write that down. If we're gonna have to write it down, 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.000 I think we're gonna be. I was gonna make my 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.120 official pick tomorrow on tomorrow's show, but let's mark it down. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:58.840 The Love Doctor is going Calves in six for that one. Okay, continue. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.680 And here's the thing. If Tristan Thompson, I was just 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.800 talking to Greg and Frank in the control them if 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.720 he can get anywhere from twelve to fifteen rebounds and 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.280 you know, more than half of those being offensive boards, 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.080 Like I said, he's giving you know, two of the 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.880 top five players in the NBA second chances and second looks. 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:18.160 They have Kyle Korver now, which it's even a bigger weapon. 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.720 So I really like the Calves. I know I'm not 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.040 with the majority on this one, but I really like 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.119 the Calves in six. I am mad at you, Bro. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:26.760 I like you going out on a little bit of 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.680 a limb and for the series right now. If you 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.360 like the Calves you can get him at plus two ten, 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.680 all right, Donnie, So if you throw a hundred bucks 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.159 on him, you're gonna get two hundred ten back, all right. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.000 So I think you know that maybe where you want 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.800 to go. Here's my question for you, though, Donnie. And 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.240 you know you may not think this, but, um, which 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.920 of these teams is gonna slow it down the pace 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.920 of this series? I think it's gonna be But the Calves. Listen, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:55.000 the Calves have actually the highest like pr ever, but 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.960 they know that they have to make this a one 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.240 on one game. They cannot keep up with the ace 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.520 that the Warriors can play at. And that's why I 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.640 think they will be the first team to slow the page. 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.399 They're gonna be the first one to cry uncle and 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.960 the half court, yeah, because once they start running the 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:10.879 court and they're not gonna be able to cover all 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.960
