Part of that's 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.520 the TV schedule. Part of it is because we can't 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.960 have these guys like Lebron and Steph carry rest thing, right, 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.160 So they certainly changed the schedule.

We'll answer him during the show. Here are 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.800 poll questions. First one, what is the biggest threat to 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.960 a Warrior's calves? Repeat like a finals tiebreaker? Over the 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.160 last two years, we've seen it, you know, the Dubs 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.560 get one Lebron and the Cavs answer back in Game 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.160 seven last year. Here are the four options. We're gonna 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.800 get into this with my boy Donnie Burns a little 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.720 bit later. Is it option A? The calves defensive struggles. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.599 Remember last week they gave up like a twenty six 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.359 point lead in the fourth quarter to the Atlanta to 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.800 the Atlanta Hawks. I'm gonna said, Atlanta Falcons. Isn't that 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.400 crazy Speeds? Is mind always on football? The second option, 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.480 is it like heroic efforts from one of these m 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.479 VP candidate, a guy like Russell Westbrook or James Harden. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.680 We're gonna profile what that That series is gonna be 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.679 bananas as a first round series. Is it team play? 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.000 You know from some of these new teams is it 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.840 a teams like you know, the San Antonio Spurs that 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.559 play the right way, the Boston Celtics that know the data. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.919 Is that those kind of teams that are gonna, you know, 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.240 maybe upset the apple cart here in the NBA playoffs 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.240 or nothing. It's just locked up, loaded, it's signed, sealed, delivered. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.520 It's gonna be a three pet for the NBA Finals. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.440 Let us know on that pole question. Here's the other 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.120 pole because Donnie and I know, man, you thought it 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.400 was crazy at first. Yesterday I am on a mission 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.520 to convert you, my friend. We talked about how the 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.880 San Francisco Giants are monitoring to monitoring you know, your 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.040 in density as a you know thing for hydration. Well, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:32.839 I got another story about it. We're gonna talk about 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.440 that again a little bit later on. We put the 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.039 Fun and Functional Sports Radio. But we ask everybody out there, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.479 do you think teams analyzing players sleep and their urine 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.000 is actually an invasion of privacy for the athlete? We 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.080 got options there is yes, no or not in the pros, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.680 but in college or amateur game yes, let us know. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.880 You can holler at us on Twitter. Let's get into 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.200 speeds is starting lineup right now, and started off with 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.960 news and notes around Major League Baseball. First of all, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.480 Todd Fraser, he's got the flu. Remember he was going 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.680 around in Boston with the Red Sox as well. Well, 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.880 Todd Fraser is gonna be out today in the White 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.919 Sox game. The Tribe sent Tyler Naquin down to Triple A. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.320 Columbus Listen, he had an incredible second half last year 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.120 as a rookie, but a lot of people knew that 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.000 that was unsustainable. I told you if you looked a 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.200 little bit deeper, he was a fool. Gazzy forgot about him, 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.400 and now he's down in Triple A. Hector run done, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.280 relief pitcher for the Cubs. He's going to have an 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.320 m r I in his left knee. He got banged 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.560 up in yesterday's game. I think he's actually gonna miss 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.719 a significant amount of time. And this is interesting in 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.679 some fantasy leagues, fantasy leagues where maybe holds are important. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.920 This is the eighth inning spot for the world champion 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.600 Chicago Cubs. They're gonna be some interesting hold options right 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.160 behind Wade Davison. That one keep an eye on that 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.520 and Giovanni Soto catchup for the White Sox is headed 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.520 to the ten d d L with a right elbow injury. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.560 Let's keep it moving though here on the Fantasy Freestyle 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.000 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and uh, you know, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.320 as usual, I hold myself accountable. I want to tell 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.240 you how I did last night. I had a good 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.359 night last night. Oh boy, last night, I gave you 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.440 some starters. It worked out pretty well. In my own lineup. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.839 I had guys like Michael Confordo who went off, David 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.440 Freeze who went off. I also last night I told 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.800 you that I was fading Yovanni Guillardo thrown for this 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.280 Seattle Mariners against the Houston Astros. I told you to 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.760 start Jose Altuve, that it was gonna be the cheapest 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.720 you would ever get him at thirty one hundred, and 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.800 that he was starting to get hot. All he did 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.640 was go three for three and walked twice, got on 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.680 base five times. I hope you were listening to speedz 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.080 of spitting statistician, because if you had how To in 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.960 your lineup, Confordo in your lineup, freezing your lineup, you 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.320 probably won that cash. But because I always say you 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.520 start with the starting pitching right, and I told you 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.560 last night, why pay eight eight hundred for Stephen Wright, 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.720 that knuckleballer when the weather is not right right just yet? 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.560 Remember I told you how things in April are not 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.239 necessarily normal, and I didn't like him. Last night against 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.200 the Baltimore Orioles. What happened if you spend eighty eight 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.320 hundred dollars? He went one and a third innings, gave 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.560 up eight runs. I told you, I hope you listen 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.480 to speed and spitting statistician and dead. I told you 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.240 to go with Marcus Stroman at eighties six hundred. I 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.600 said that he had some k upside. I said that 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.360 he was still riding high off his you know, World 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.360 Baseball Classic and fresh start. What do you do? He 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.320 pitched a complete game. He went all nine innings for 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.440 the Toronto Blue Jays, gave up only two runs. Tough 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.800 luck loser, though, as the Blue Jays lost two to nothing. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.000 He did get a quality start. So that was pretty 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.119 good for you, right, So now let's keep it moving 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.840 and look forward to tonight. If you look forward to tonight, 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.840 and especially if you listen to the DFS lineup block 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.559 with Tony Sankata and Benny Riccardi and Yo. They are 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.200 giving you what you need to win that cash, and 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.000 you need to download the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.040 This way you can get DFS lineup Block, you can 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.000 get species, the Spitting Statistican, you can get all the 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.679 great content on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and you 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.560 can get it for free. That's what we're trying to do. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.240 With's like a public service almost. But everybody was saying 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.920 it comes down to that game the Giants and the 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.840 Rockies with Madison bum Gardener. I am not spending up 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.360 for Madison bum Gardener tonight. I'm looking to beat Madison 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.960 bum Gardener because he's costing eleven thousand dollars on FanDuel 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.200 and I don't think that's I think that's not worth it. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.599 Especially don't get a twisted don't forget Buster Posey is 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.079 on the seven Day Concussion DL, So mad bum is 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.440 gonna be working with a different catcher. I don't know 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.440 how much of a big difference that makes, but I'm 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.120 looking for reasons to beat Madison bum Gardener tonight. I'm 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.640 looking in that same game, I'm looking at John Gray 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.240 at seventy eight hundred. I like that, um, I like 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.920 the big ballpark difference. Remember we talked about ballparks a 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.840 little bit the other day in terms of the foul 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.760 territory that's in places like Wrigley Verse, places like Oakland. Well, 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.920 this San Francisco park is cavernous, Benny McCarty said last hour. 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.760 Unless you're Barry Bonds, you're not hitting it out into 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.600 the water. It is a big ballpark. I like John 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.880 Gray tonight, you know, I mean that's a game where 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.320 I think it's gonna be low scoring. It is the 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.200 lowest total on the board as well, if you like 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.160 one other one other person. And it's hard though today 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.680 because there's games in Cincinnati, which is a crazy ballpark 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.520 in Yankee Stadium, and in terms in terms of the 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.760 rotation and today's day where it's like a lot of 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.360 starting pitcher four's and fives going the other guy. I 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.280 would look at and I know you're gonna say it's crazy, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.840 but think about Francisco Liriano. Francisco Liriano, he of the 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.040 one hundred and thirty five e r A because of 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.400 that crazy first start to a season. But I think 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.800 he might bounce back. He's back at home against Baltimore. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.319 And remember in the spring spring training, his strikeout to 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.120 walk ratio was out of control. So if you have 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.960 a nice stomach and you're if if you're thinking about 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.120 ways to try and beat Madison bum Gardner, I got 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.120 to four year. It's Francisco Liriano at seven eight hundred 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.400 and John Gray at also seventy hundred. One thing I 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.360 want to mention to you guys, remember yesterday one of 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:41.719 the polls I had up was like who would you 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.360 want to see in the whole run contest? And one 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.160 of the options was gian Carlos Stanton. The winning option 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.199 was Giancarlos Stanton. Was like, fifty eight of you guys 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.839 picked gian Carlos Stanton. Well, he hit two home runs 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.920 last night, and I think this is very very interesting. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.720 I want to get into this because, um, both of 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.800 his home runs went exactly three hundred feet I believe, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:09.080 same distance, but they had very different launch angles and 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.320 exit velocities. And these are stats that we're telling you all, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.080 these like next Gens stats that we're talking about. His 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.440 first home run went out at a hundred ten miles 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.600 an hour, but at a thirty six degree angle. Okay, 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.240 so it got all the way up to like hundred 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.920 ft high. It was like one of these towering shots, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.000 but it wound up traveling the same distance. His second 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:33.280 home run went off his bat six miles an hour faster, right, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.080 and but his launch angle was nineteen degrees, So it 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.720 was like the proverbial frozen rope. If you ever hear that, 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.680 it only went forty eight feet high at its max. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.280 He crushed it. It It went the same distance. But that's 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.480 what we're talking about when we give you numbers and 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.800 rates like hard hit contact and launch angle. That is 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.520 part of the statistical revolution that is happening right now 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.640 in baseball. I told you about leadoff hitters that are 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.600 hitting home runs now. It's because people are understanding this 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.560 launch angle idea, okay, and that's what that's what really 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.760 is all about. High school physics teachers, high school math teachers, 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.480 why are you not using this in like in your class. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.640 The idea of launching parabolas over the fence is really true, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.880 and now we're analyzing it to try and square it 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.520 up and think about how it is helping major league teams. 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.559 I'm telling you Josh Donaldson is doing this. Jay Bruce 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.520 for the New York Mets, who's off to a fast start. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.439 He's adjusting his approach to this. Everybody is trying to 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.319 get it in the air. I'm gonna tell you something, 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.520 even Benny Riccardi, who I hear, is trying to coach 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.600 up his kid on how to do this. I'll tell 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.480 you about that not a little bit more when we 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.400 come back. But here it is Fantasy Freestyle.

Let's 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.040 get into the cipher here real quick. I got some 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.240 news and notes from the NFL to share with you. 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.160 This Marshawn Lynch thing is definitely going to happen. I'm 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.560 telling you. It sounds like there's a trade to the 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.440 Raiders in place, and now the Raiders and Marshawn Lynch 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.320 are almost just working out the details of a new 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.600 contract and that is expected to be. What they're saying 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.080 is quote unquote incentive based. I'm telling you this is 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.560 going to happen. And remember, like my boy jack Chel, 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.440 it's should be incentives based. Remember he missed out on 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.520 two million dollars because the point oh five points per 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.840 game in the NHL. I think there's an incredible option 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.760 if Marshawn Lynch goes there. Okay, a great offensive line 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.960 to replace Latavius Murray and what was already a three 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.520 headed monster with Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. Um. You know, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.600 Lynch is not a three down back, but that's what 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.040 they need, a goal line smash mouth. I think this 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:24.920 would be a great fit, and Marshawn Lynch would only 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.240 be there when they're still in Oakland trying to help 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.720 his hometown win a super Bowl before they moved to 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.680 Las Vegas or maybe San Antonio. Jay Cutler is apparently 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.320 contemplating retirement. I say why not. He's on the beach 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.920 naked with his famous and rich Why he's got all 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.400 the money he needs. Remember the Jets were maybe thinking 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.360 about them, but he said he wanted to be playing 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:49.240 for a contender. What contender right now? M what contender 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.200 right now could use a quarterback still, I'd say it's 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.040 Houston Texans or bust now from my man, Jay Cutler. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.800 Speaking of which, Tony Romo has yet to file formal 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.880 paperwork to retire to the NFL, and I think that's 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.120 a smart move. You know, whether he's on the Dallas 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.480 Mavericks or not. I think this is a smart move 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.720 because you never know what happens. Football is very interesting game. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.440 Injuries do happen. I think it behooves him to stay 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.080 in shape, not only because other teams may come calling 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.080 come August. Remember last year, Teddy Bridgewater's injury at the 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.080 very end of preseason. But what if, what if something 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.600 happened to Dak Prescott. You don't think then Jerry Jones 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.200 would come calling. I think that's very interesting. Also signing 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.440 that I think is interesting here I want to let 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.920 you guys know about on the Fantasy freestyle, Jonathan Hankins 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.920 signed with the Indianapolis Colts. That's a three year, thirty 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.120 million dollar deal that looks good along that defensive line 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.720 for Indianapolis. You know, the Colts defense has struggled in 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.360 years past. I like that move. And that's also a 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.880 loss for the New York Football Giants. That Giants defense 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.800 last year was stout a top five run defense. Yes, 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.960 they still have snacks Damon Harrison, but that might be 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.240 a loss that the Giants feel. And it is a 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.440 nice start. Remember the Colts have a new GM, Chris Ballard. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.240 I think that's a nice start from really trying to 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.160 shore up that defensive line because uh, well basically because 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.320 the Colts need to. Let's keep it moving though here 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.480 in the cipher, one of the poll questions I mentioned 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.879 to you is, uh, you know what would upset the 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:20.359 apple cart in terms of yet another Warriors Cavaliers final 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.280 or will it be Warriors come out and play. Hey, 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.320 I'm gonna tell you right now, right now. On the poll, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.080 it's kind of interesting, it's kind of close. We have 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:35.080 thirty three percent saying nothing, it's gonna be Warriors Cavaliers again, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.680 but thirty three percent of you say the Cavaliers defensive struggles. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:43.080 I'm gonna bringing my boy Donnie Burns here, producer extraordinaire 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.240 here on the Fantasy Freestyle and also serving as my 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.159 NBA correspondent here on the Fantasy Freestyle right now, Donnie. 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.280 We got thirty three percent saying the Calves defensive struggles, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.359 saying team play from a team like San Antonio or Boston, 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.840 and ten percent play saying it's gonna be like hero 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.320 Ball out of a guy like Russell Westbrook or James 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.040 Harden that could prevent the Warriors or the Calves. I 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.280 don't want to do a spoiler. From the very beginning, 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.400 I would be in this thirty three percent that says nothing, 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:13.119 that say it will ultimately be Calves and the Warriors again. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.040 But maybe this is just wishful thinking for me. What 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.000 do you um? Generally speaking, and we'll get into some 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.119 of these details here. But um, do we just know 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.920 how the story is gonna end already? Doney, I want 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.359 to say we do. But here's the thing. The first 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.600 round matchup between the Calves and the Pacers, we got 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.359 the two in the seven and this kind of coincides 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.159 with the pole because you kind of have some of 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:39.360 those options there, Cleveland versus Indian Indiana. Right, So, Paul George, 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:40.960 at the end of this month, I believe the media 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.520 will be voting for all NBA teams, and if Paul 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.000 George makes that all NBA team, he's in the line 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.439 for a two d million dollar contract extensions. Therefore, his 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.159 play has been unbelievable. I don't know. Try harder, and 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.920 that's big Miles Turner. They'll be tough. There's a lot 0:18:59.920 --> 0:19:02.280 of teams out there that can be so if the 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.159 Calves are not right and a lot of people do 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:10.280 not get the Catspacers, let me let me tell you 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.760 something something I think is very interesting is in both 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.919 conferences here, in these first rounds, I am very intrigued 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.720 by the three six matchups in both conferences. Okay, first 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.240 of all, in the East, that's the Toronto Raptors and 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.360 the Milwaukee Bucks. Okay, when you have the Toronto Raptors. 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.359 Ever since Kyle Lowry has been back, the Raptors have 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.960 looked good. And this is a team unlike say the 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.480 Boston Celtics. This Raptors team, they have been there before. 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.800
