We're gonna continue what 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.039 I was telling you with Kyle Turley in terms of 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.720 his advocacy for pain management in the NFL. Interesting interview 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.520 we have here as part of the three part series 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.680 with an actual doctor doing clinical trials of a marijuana 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.440 strain that could be very interesting for the brain. We 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.160 also listen, we put the fun and Functional Sports Radio 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.240 and we've given you, you know, a Lonzo ball wrapping 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.000 over that Drake beat. We've given you Levy on bell Well. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.840 Damian Lillard is the last to use a Drake beat 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.120 for for his latest flow. We're gonna play that and 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.840 dissect it with my man Donnie Burns. A little bit 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.320 later on when we put the fun in Functional Sports Radio. 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.480 This is the first night though in a long time, 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.160 where there is no NBA playoff games, so you know, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.400 it's interesting. All the players talked about how they wanted 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.080 that rest, you know, throughout the regular season. Well they 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.520 get it now. And obviously the TV schedule is another 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.560 thing the NBA playoffs have to adhere to. So my 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.400 question is, what is the main reason the NBA playoff 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.240 schedule is stretched out so much? Is because they can 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.720 care about players safety and what players arrest or is 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.400 it to get that money from those TV contracts. We'll 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.360 check in on that when we come back. I'm gonna 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.280 give you my starting line up the cipher. You know 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.360 how how we do Holler at me if you wanted 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.959 eight four four eight four, three six eight seven nine, 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.880 But it's your boys, feeds the Spitting Statistician here on 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.400 the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:14.680 will be right back. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.280 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It should boy, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.359 Dane Martinez speeds the spitting Statistician. If you want to 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.160 get at me this hour, you can certainly do that 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.960 at eight four four, eight, four, three, six, eight, seven nine, 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.919 And there's so many ways to follow us as well. 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.919 Get us on Twitter if you want at F and 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.520 T s Y Radio, that Twitter handle is good to go. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.400 And also if you want to ask me any questions 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.480 to me, read out answer on the show, or just 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.120 follow me for all your good sports information and fun stuff, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.680 you can follow me at Spitting Speeds. Let's get into 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.840 the cipher because as you may have heard, if you're 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.640 listening to the DFS Lineup Lock Show Last Hour with 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.240 Tony Senkata and Benny Richardi, you know that the next 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.520 game on the slates not until seven thirty. So this 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.800 could be viable, usable information regardless of if you have 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.040 that late swap or not. News and notes. Unfortunately for 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.960 Atlanta Braves fans and the Freeman owners, m R. I 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:03.880 came back, he does in fact have a broken risk. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.440 He's gonna be out for three months. In a correlating 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.360 roster move, the Braves have signed James Loney to play 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.120 a little bit of first base. James Paxton had a 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.320 good bullpen session on his comeback. Remember you had a 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.640 four arm issue. He's only owned and was absolutely killing it. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.400 When the first month and a half of the season, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.799 so worth a check to see if he is somehow 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.120 available and you are in one of those ten percent 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.119 of leagues where you can get him on the waiver wire. 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.960 Right now, outfielder for the Blue Jays Kevin Pollar has 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.040 been suspended for two games for using a Homo Furbi 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.440 slur in a recent game, so he will be out 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.680 of the lineup. Reports are saying now that Doug Fitzter 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.479 will sign free agent Doug Fist will sign with the 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.360 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Is what it looks like. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.920 They need some help with the rotation out there. Manny 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.680 Machado missed the game again with that sore finger, and 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.279 Eric Thames will be out tonight four Milwaukee and San Diego. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.760 He has strepped throats, so it will not be a situation. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.040 Remember I talk about this when you missed the consecutive 0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.880 games like that, if they just want to, you know, 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.800 throw you on that ten day deal. I don't think 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.320 that will be the case for Eric Thames in the Milwaukee. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.640 But it was also sad news to report Cubs fan 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:12.520 Richard Garrity died at the age of forty two on Tuesday, 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.520 after the game, he fell over the railing at Wrigley 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.520 Field and um passed away from his injuries Richard Garrity 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.520 at the age of forty two. So moving on, though, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.599 I do want to give you my starting lineup for tonight. First, 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.320 as usually hold ourselves accountable here on the Fantasy Freestyle 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.320 last night, I told you to go from Michael Pineda 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.800 against that horrible Kansas City Royal's lineup. He got to 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.920 a quality start, he got you a win. He struck 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.320 out five. So once again Speeds spitting stead Stition helping 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.520 you win your leagues and win that cash. I also 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.239 told you that Jason Vargas was gonna get rocked against 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.880 the Yankees offense, and that's exactly what happened. He gave 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.479 up six earned runs only went four innings. Hopefully you're 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.200 listening to your boy Speeds the spitting Status sticition tonight, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.720 I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you to God's 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.160 on his truth. This is literally the worst slate I 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.680 have seen all year. At night. They talked about it 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.160 on the DFS Lineup lock Show. There's only five games 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.159 here at night, and with tornado warnings in Kansas City, 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.520 it is very skeptical. I would not be playing any 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.880 Royals or any Yankees tonight because it does not look 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.560 like that game is going to go off emergency tornado 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.400 watch in that Kansas City area. Here's the one game 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.839 where I think you can find a stud picture. I 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.000 think you need to look to Atlanta, and tonight on 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.799 FanDuel you have nine hundred from Marcus Stroman or Julio 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.719 Tehran at eight two hundred. I'm gonna tell you something, 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.080 this eight run total is the lowest total of the night. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.480 I don't like these other pictures. I'm not going h 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.280 hn Ryu. I'm not going Sonny Gray. Some of these 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.800 guys have never been heard about. Hect of Alaska as 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.719 making his debut out of the Mexican League, of all places. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.559 If there's one guy I'm gonna go with, it's gonna 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.960 be Marcus Stroman at hundred. Okay. Also part of that 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.880 is because of the news I just told you Freddie 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.040 Freeman is gonna be out of this lineup for a 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.080 long time, in including tonight. So this is the first 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.839 game they're playing without Fetdie Freeman, you know. And now 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.599 you've got basically Matt Kemp and that's about it in 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.120 that lineup that you gotta worry about. So I like 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:15.400 Marcus Stroman tonight for ninety two hundred. I gotta tell 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.080 you the truth, though, there is one reason that I 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.920 still might not like even one of the people in 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.440 that game, and it is the new ballpark down there 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.400 in Atlanta. Sun Trust Park is a new ballpark. This 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.200 is the first year they're playing there in Atlanta. And 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.960 I was going back and forth on Twitter with my homegirl, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.640 Jessica klein Schmidt. Not to PENGA can follow her on Twitter. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.120 She has great information all the time about ballpark factors, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.400 and so I was asking her, you know, what's the 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.600 deal with this new ballpark is it's gonna play for hitters. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.760 It's gonna play for pictures, you know. And so far 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.080 it is a relatively small sample size, but this new 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.040 Atlanta ballpark is really playing like the old launching pad 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.440 days of the Atlanta Fulton County Coliseum. Okay, this is 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.760 not you know, Turner Park was a kind of you know, 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.920 down the middle of the road, you know, fair to 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.320 both hitters and pitchers. But this year, right now, this 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.200 new ballpark, sun Trust is so pro hitter. Let me 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.280 tell you something, As of last week, the Atlanta Braves 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.640 had a five point six one home e r A. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.680 That is the worst in the majors. Okay, that is 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.000 almost a third of a run higher than even the 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.320 Rockies at Corpse Field. That five point three one earned 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.760 runs per nine. Okay. Now, obviously they've only played about 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.520 twenty home games so far. It's a small sample size. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.200 But you might say that. But here's the other factor. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.440 It hasn't even get gotten hot yet in the summertime 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.520 in the deep South down in Atlanta, you know the 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.160 ball is gonna fly even more so, this makes me 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.480 think that that ballpark is an issue and is very 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.720 pro hitter. Too bad yet again, that Freddie Freeman, it 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.120 looks like it's gonna miss the next three months. Perfect 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.040 example is tonight's starter and this I want to get 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.920 out there before you can make this potentially erroneous suggests 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.760 or selection in your DFS lineups to nine Julio Tehran. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.000 They're ace in home starts so far this year. His 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.480 e r A is eight point one four. On the road, 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.960 his e r A is zero point one eight. And 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.959 the same kind of difference you see in like opponent 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.080 batting average against Babi a Caper, nine walks. All the 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.640 other inputs are the same. The difference really is the ballpark. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:25.760 It makes me think. And all five of the home 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.080 runs that Tehran has given up so far this year 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.800 have come in Atlanta, in SunTrust Park. So it makes 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.400 me think that one Tehran might be only a road play. 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.520 And even though I mentioned him before at eighty six 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.559 eight two hundred, tonight, I'm going the other way. I'm 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.960 going Marcus Stroman because Marcus Stroman gets groundballs. He's a 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.520 groundball pitcher. No, Freddie Freeman, give me Marcus Stroman for 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.480 nine two hundred. This is even built. You know. Chipper Jones, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.640 great brave of the nineties and the odds, He said 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.040 the first time he went into that stadium, the new 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.680 sun Truck Trust Park, he went in and he said 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.680 he felt the wind tunnels and kind of like the 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.920 jet streams going out into the alleys, saying he wished 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.200 that he could still hit there. So this is something 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.079 to keep an eye on. You know, I don't think 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.480 you're rostering some of these other starters on the Atlanta braves, 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.360 you know, the r A Dickies and the bar Tolo 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.880 get a whiff of my bar Tolo Cologns and the 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.640 other kind of like older starters that the Braves have 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.640 stocked up on in this first year in their new ballpark. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.880 But I think keep an eye on this if you 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.440 own Julio Tehran. Okay, he has to look at his 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.679 home road splits. He has pitched very very well, has 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.800 only given up runs in one of his road starts 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.240 all season long. But an e r A of over 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.360 eight at sun Trust Park. That's enough for me to 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.360 fade him tonight and use Marcus Stroman as the only 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.320 picture I want any part of.

Lean back with my 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.959 man Donnie Burns on the ones and twos, keeping it 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.040 so hot that we sweat steam. Let's get into the 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.600 cipher here on the Fantasy Freestyle, a couple of news 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.560 and notes around the NFL. You know, we never stopped 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.120 talking NFL twelve months a year here on the Fantasy 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:53.360 Sports Radio Network. The Pittsburg Steelers have made a move 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.320 that if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle and you were 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.080 listening in the fall during the football season, you know 0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.600 one of the guys that I really loved that I 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.160 was rooting for, a kind of vouching for, cheering for 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.040 with Steelers tight end Ladarius Green. But he had a 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.920 slew of injuries his ankle, he had a repeating issue 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.520 with concussions. And today the Steelers have released tight end 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.720 Ladarius Green. So I hope he lands on his feet 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.719 and more importantly, that he stays healthy. Also, the Los 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.040 Angeles Rams have announced that their stadium deal is has 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.240 been delayed until the year two thousand and twenty. They'll 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.760 finally be able to see maybe Jared Goff by that time, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.200 still will be the quarterback or Todd Gurley and the 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.440 Rams in their own stadium. That won't happen until the year. Coincidentally, 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.880 that's the same year that the Raiders are now set 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.080 to move into their new stadium in Las Vegas. And 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:45.040 another note, and I mentioned yesterday, but Gisele Bunching, you know, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:50.120 Tom Brady's wife, said in an interview that her husband 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.840 Brady has had multiple concussions that nobody talks about, and 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.920 that he was dealing with a concussion for a portion 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.520 of last year. And that might be getting some people 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.160 into a little bit of hot water because us uh, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.960 the Pats never had Tom Brady on the injury report 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.120 for that. And remember, you know, the Patriots are notorious for, 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.120 you know, being a little bit tight lipped when it 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.560 comes to their injuries, almost like an NHL team, right, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.680 like upper body, lower body, So that could be interesting. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.240 You know, Brady says he's gonna play until he's forty 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.440 five or fifty, not if he starts getting those concussions. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.000 So we shall see. But we move on though. Interesting 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.040 night here tonight because this is the first time in 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.120 a while we do not have an NBA playoff game 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.400 to discuss. But we do have a game that happened 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.280 last night. So I want to bring in my man 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.600 to love, Dr Donnie Burns here on the Fantasy Freestyle 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:41.480 as always, And Donnie, I gotta tell you. Calves win 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.080 Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals in Boston. You know, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.040 I don't know if the words steel game one is 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.800 really the way we should talk about it. They were 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.440 four point favorites. They win one oh seven to one 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.560 on one, excuse me, one seventeen to one oh four, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.480 And I gotta tell you the truth, it was not 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:02.160 even that close. Lebron James doing Lebron James things. I 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.560 gotta tell you a couple of things. One, I think 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.520 the Celtics actually looked tired. They looked as though they 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.200 went through a you know, a ringer of a seven 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.120 game series against the Wizards, and the Calves looked like 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.840 they were coming off of eight days of rest. Okay, 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.240 especially in that first half, Lebron looked fresh. He would 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.000 hit that you know, they're cuts, which is so much sharper. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.640 Lebron finishes with thirty eight points, nine and seven. But 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.040 what I want to tell you there was a play 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:33.160 about midway through the second quarter where Lebron James is 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.840 literally going for a loose ball on his hands and knees, 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.680 crawling slapping it back in. Brown's chasing it down on 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.880 his hands and knees, and was just showing more urgency, 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:50.160 more fire, more enthusiasm than anybody on Boston. Also, who 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.480 is going to guard Lebron in this series? I mean 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.400 I saw Marcus Smart have a shot at him. They 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.840 put Kelly Olynok on him for a few possessions, and 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:04.399 Lebron literally was laughing at the Boston bench literally was 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.040 like joking at the top after you cross uh half court, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.040 being like, all right, we're gonna do this again. Clear 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:14.119 out for me. The best guy that I saw checking 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.040 Lebron was actually the rookie at a cow, Jalen Brown. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.880 But I don't think he's gonna get all that many minutes. 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.600 Kevin Love also came to play thirty two and twelve 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.160 when six of nine from three point land. And I'm 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.199 telling you, if the Calves are playing like this, uh, 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.840 we are going to see a battle of undefeated teams 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.879 in the NBA Finals. Done. What was your biggest takeaways 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.479 from Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. Yeah, we'll 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.400 shout out to our Boston native Tony Sencada, a good 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.640 friend of mine, had his Boston Celtics trounced by like 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:51.399 seventy boo the fire. I see what it is and 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.879 look at the first of all, big shout out to me, 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.199 species fitting statistician giving you the format to respond to 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.440 a guy like Tony Sencada. After I gotta tell you, Donny, 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.240 he eviscerated you at the end of DFS lineup lock. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.280 But bring those points back, bring those points back? Why 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.840 is uh why the cat's gonna roll here? Yeah, So 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.159 here's the thing. Before the series started, I kind of 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.600 figured the Seeds would probably go with the combination of 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.560 Marcus Smart and Jalen Brown, maybe even a little Jay 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.160 Crowder in there. Although that last game during the regular season, 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.240 jay Crowder couldn't really guard them. They lost by twenty three, 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.399 So I figured Jalen Brown would have a good, the 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.240 best shot at least to guarding him. But I mean, 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:35.000 this series is essentially over and calling it I said, 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:38.480 I said, sweet, So you know, I hear you. I 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.040 could see it. That first game home game, you lose 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.159 by that much, that's a that's a you don't think 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.480 they were just tired man coming off the seven game series. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.280 It's not gonna get any better that the Calves played 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.639 eight games in thirty three days. As if. It's almost 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.000 as if the Celtics would have been better off being 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:57.960 the two seed and having the Caves be the one seed, right, 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.679 because they were not going to be up for the 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.760 cat and ready. But if this was like the first 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.080 two games were in Cleveland, then you have the shot of, like, oh, 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.520 game three, coming back home, maybe then they get one. Yeah, well, 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.000 it seemed like it was an ego thing for the 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:10.920 Celtics at the end of the year. They really wanted 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:15.639 that that one. They were like, they were saying, if 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.520 they could flip the switch exactly. And here's the thing, 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.840 Brad Stephens, I don't know if you saw the interview 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.280 at the end of the game, but he was talking about, hey, 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.280 Lebron looks better, but he did when I came into 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.440 this league. That's a scary thing. It is that we're 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.399 saying this is peak don't want your coach, saying that 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.959 this might be Peake Lebron don't want your coach thing. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.159 This is absolutely true. Yo. Let me let me let 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.800 me real quick touch on this other series. The Western 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.040 Conference Finals, because you know I'm not going to talk 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.960 to you again. Okay, fine, you think so it's over 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.640 like over is in Spurs have no chance of winning 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.439 the series, or over like this is gonna be a 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.159 four nothing sweep. This could be another sweep to like 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.159 we talked about it. Steph Curry is the engine right now, 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.920 They're up. It's over. No, I hear you. But here's 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.440 what I would say. Remember what I just said about 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.600 the Celtics. I think the Spurs, though, are in a 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.560 position sin where listen, they got embarrassed in Game two, 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:06.720 losing by thirty six. They go back home, they have Popovich, 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.280 Kauai has six days off and he's probably gonna, you know, 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.240 play in Game three at home. If the Spurs are 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.440 going to get one Saturday night, Game three in San 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.480 Antonio would be the one. Right. Here's the thing that 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.679 I've never seen Pops so kind of fire in a 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.520
