The Spitting Statistician, and you're listening live to 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.960 the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.760 Of course, to all our sports Byline affiliates around the 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.960 country and with the American Forces Radio Network around the world. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.120 Shout out to the service men and women out there 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.639 using the Spitting Statistician for a little taste to home, 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.360 because we're helping them win their leagues and win that cash. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.200 I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.720 ones and twos keeping it so hot that we sweat steam. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.640 We're gonna check in with my boy don a little 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.640 bit later on in the show as well. You know, 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.480 we take a look at the NBA playoffs. You know, 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.240 we got a couple of series obviously going the way 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.240 we think that going to that that you know, collision 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.840 course of the Warriors and the Calves. But in these 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.280 other series, you know, whether it be San Antonio, Houston 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.280 or Boston Washington. I think we could have some interesting 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.240 series and the question is does the winners of those 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.640 series pull pose a threat to the Calves or the 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.440 Warriors in the conference finals? Will get Don's opinion? I 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.640 also have that up as a pole question on the 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.759 f N T s Y radio Twitter handle. You could 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.360 always if you want to ask me questions, holler at 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.120 me or follow me at spitting Speeds on Twitter, and 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.160 if you want to hollout the show, you can adate 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.080 four four eight, four, three, six, eight seven nine. I 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.479 want to know who do you think win the finals 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.119 at this point? I've asked this question a couple of times, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.760 and the Warriors pretty much paced against the field between 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.880 fifty and do you think it's the Warriors, do you 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.160 think it's the Calves, do you think it's one of 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.920 these teams that could come out of the other series, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.000 or interestingly enough, do you think it depends on Steve Carr. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.080 We got reports that Steve Kerr will not be back 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.600 during this series. They don't think, maybe not back the 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.920 entire time at some point, having this kind of missing 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.000 your head, coach has to matter at some point, right, 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.720 we'll find up. We also, we had a big weekend 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.480 in the fight game. We're gonna recap that Canelo Alvarez triple. 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.840 Excuse me, I got ahead of myself that Kanello Alvarez 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.079 and Julio Caesar Chavez Junior fight. And don't get it twisted. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.079 Your boys speeds and spitting statistician called the Derby Cold, 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.639 which your boy Benny Riccardi on Friday Show. I gave 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.720 you that five number always dreaming Todd Pletcher, Johnny Velasquez, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.680 that's what he does. I help you win your leagues 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.480 and win that cash. I'm Dane Martinez. See the spitting statistician. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:57.480 Come on back, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. This is it 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.800 what Lucci need from the sky to scare rich what 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.519 you know what it is, it's your boy, Dame Martinez, 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.480 speeds and spitting statistician. You're listening live to the Fantasy 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.880 Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.960 my boy Don Burns in the building with me on 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.919 the ones and Twols playing at good intro music. When 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.799 we come out. That's a camp low Lucini. Let's get 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.800 rich what and you know that's what we're here to do. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.600 Help you win your leagues and win that cash. Let's 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.639 get into the starting lineup here. News and notes over 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.320 the weekend from Major League Baseball. First thing you need 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.959 to know, Zach Britton back on the d L with 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.600 that forearm issue. Remember he came back for the hot second, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.960 he's right back on the d L. I think this 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.360 is a problem. I think you know need to go 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.240 out and grab black Brock if he is available for 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.160 you in season long leagues. He is only seventy five 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.119 percent owns. That means right now, if you're at happy hour, 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.640 listen to your boy speeds and spitting statistician. You and 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.760 three of your friends, you're at the bar. One of 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.400 you are in a league where you can go right 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.600 now and pick up this guy who I think from 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.480 here on out is going to be one of the 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.600 top ten closers because I do not think Zach Britton 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.880 is coming back anytime soon. You've got a little forearm issue. 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.440 It's like that old saying, you know, like the knee 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.800 bones connected to the hip bone, and I always think 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.240 the forearm tightness is connected to the u c L. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.320 Tommy John ligament. Watch out for that. That that is 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.520 a big one. Michael Brantley left the game on Sunday 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.920 with a sprained ankle. They're calling him day to day 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.400 where it is that he will miss the entire Toronto 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.760 series at the beginning of the week. Interesting call if 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.120 you have him in weekly lineups. I think he's gonna 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.520 miss a couple of games that will avoid a d 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.120 L stint. Martin Pratto, however, aggravated his hamstring injury and 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.600 he is on the d L for the Miami Marlins. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.159 And sad news that broke today. Jamison Tyone this picture, 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.960 who has already gone through not one but two um 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.360 Tommy John surgeries, is now having surgery this morning, they 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.720 say for suspected testicular cancer. This guy is only in 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.000 his early to mid twenties. So here at the Fantasy Freestyle, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.200 you know, we say our thoughts and prayers are out 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.440 there for Jamison ty yone. Hope that goes successful. UM. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.679 I also want to say that was a crazy series 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.920 over the weekend with the Yankees and Cubs at Wrigley Field. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.800 First of all, on Friday, when Brett Gardner goes off 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.479 on until we get a game winning you know, home 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:13.960 run at the end of the game when they win 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.400 three to two, and then last night, this game goes 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:21.000 eighteen innings. The Yankees did not look afraid going into 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.160 the house of the world defending World Series champion. Keep 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.240 an eye on the baby Bombers. You know, I've been 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.880 talking about Aaron Judge and his launch angle and more 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.039 importantly his uh drop in swing rate and increase in 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.360 contact rate. I think that is sustainable. I also gave 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.400 you Brett Gardner as a diamond in the rough somewhere, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.440 someone who you know was on a little bit of 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.200 a hot streak can get you speed. And remember, this 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.600 lineup is tops in the a l m's run scored 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.240 and is getting back another big piece in Gary Sanchez 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.280 this week. But as usual, the way you make money 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.440 here in DFS is about these starting pitchers. So let 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.239 me tell you who the starters at I'm targeting today. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:05.320 I think today Listen de Graham is the chalk right 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.120 but at ten thousand, seven hundred on fan duel, and honestly, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.640 he's probably the best option in real life. But I 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.200 think the Mets juju, the Mets energy right now is 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.920 real bad and we're gonna get into that in a 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.880 hot second, so I'm trying to beat him tonight. I'm 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.240 not using Tanaka though, because I'm fading the Yankees after 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.800 their eighteen inning affair. And I'm not using Area because 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.599 I'm fading the Cubs at Corps after their eighteen inning affair. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.480 Here's what I'm looking. I'm going on fan duel all 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.760 the way down into the low seven thousands. There's two 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.680 pictures that I think are very interesting. The first it's 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.400 Kendall Graveman. Kendall Graveman at seventy four hundred against the Angels. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.960 We've heard that Mike Trout is day to day, might 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.440 not be playing again, and that Angel's line up, especially 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.719 if you know that there's no Mike Trout, it does 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.560 not scare me. You're right. Graveman lacks big time k upside. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.279 You're right. Graveman doesn't even go like nine innings all 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.120 the time. I do think, though, it's very viable if 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.320 you get a quality start and a win in fan 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.360 duel scoring and only give up one or two runs. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.960 I like Kendall Graveman as a value at seventy four hundred. 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.280 The other guy likes Trevor K. Hill at seventy at 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.440 home against the Texas Rangers. Klee was supposed to go yesterday, 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.360 that game got rained out. So he's got a two 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.760 star week this week, and I like him at home, 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.800 rested getting a ton of ground balls lately, and this 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.560 Rangers offense has not been performing lately. So I'm trying 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.240 to beat the top price guys today. I'm going down 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.600 to grave Men and k Hill, those speed starters to target. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.960 But I do have to get into I do have 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.880 to get into this um Mets and Matt Harvey issue. Okay, 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.760 So if you haven't been following it, there were interesting 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.760 stories this week about Matt Harvey joking a little bit 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.480 with Kevin Plawecki in the locker room. You may have 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.560 seen some news outlets had photos of what in essence 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.320 this in essence Harvey as a as a prankster, as 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.600 a jokester, put sex toys and his teammates lockers, and uh, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.640 you know it was Kevin PLOWICKI at answer to that said, 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.239 you know this some practical jokers in their manager, Terry Collins, 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.160 He even kind of joked about it, said like, hey, 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.920 which picks are we talking about? With a smile. But 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:07.960 then you know, and people are like, when he was 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.120 suspended over this weekend, We're like, oh, maybe it's related 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.320 to that. Oh, maybe it's related to that. Later on 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.480 in the day you find out that no Saturday was 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.400 a day where he was not supposed to be starting. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.600 So he went on and had some took some play 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.040 some golf in the morning, which I guess is okay, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.600 But then he got about of migraines and he didn't 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.520 even make it to the ballpark. He was a no show. 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.560 And uh, you know that's against the team rules. Those 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.520 are the team rules that he's talking about. Even Jose 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.120 Reyes came out and said he's disappointed. And when Jose 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.160 Reyez is coming out saying he's disappointed in your professionalism, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.880 you're on a bad level. Okay. So, whether it's because 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.960 of the sex toy or whether it's because of this, 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.600 I'm telling you this is just the latest in a 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.199 chain of reasons why I think it's obvious the Mets 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.880 don't like Matt Harvey, and Matt Harvey does not like 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.440 the Mets. Two or three years ago, we were talking 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.800 about when Matt Harvey would he have this innings limit 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.160 when he pitched through at what he pitched, would he not? 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.000 Scott Boris, his agent, got into it. You know, we 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.360 see an off days how Matt Harvey goes to Yankee 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.640 Stadium to watch the Yankees play, always talking about that. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.000 I got some advice for the Mets fan or the 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:18.240 Mets organization out there. Trade Matt Harvey this season. Trade 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.439 him now. You're not going to resign him when he's 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.960 a free agent. Go when you can, at least, I 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:28.240 think something back for him, because you will lose him eventually. Okay, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.959 So I say what you guys need to do is 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.000 you need to you know, cut your losses when he 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.640 still has some value because, to be honest, his velocity 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.640 is down coming back from that thoracic surgery, and I 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.800 don't know what kind of commodity he is. And to 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.480 be honest, in my opinion, the Mets medical staff is 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.760 not necessarily the staff to make that determination and figure 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.720 it out. But I digress. The Mets are, uh, it's 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.440 not going. They didn't have a good week, will say 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.400 that between the U S S. But his hamstring between 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.480 the four m R I not to have an m 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.960 R I and now this lat issue between this weird 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.080 issue with Harvey and the suspension, not really talking about 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.720 what it's for things of that nation. I mean, there's 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.640 other things underlying it. And you know, they are below 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:17.400 five hundred despite the what many people thought were a 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.000 playoff team with that stud young pitching people moving though. 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.960 I had a funny story though, also from an inside 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.120 Major League Baseball over the weekend. Is Zkil Carrera of 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.520 the Toronto Blue Jays hit what was a whole run 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.600 in Tampa this weekend. Okay, but it was one of 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.319 those home runs were kind of like bounced back into 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.680 the field of play. And here's where it gets interesting. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.120 It bounced back into the field of play. The raised 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.800 outfielders who were out there. They saw that it kind 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.680 of like clearly was gone and it bounced back, so 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.080 they didn't really hustle after it. They you know, they 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:52.080 treated it as though it was a homer that cleared defence. Carrera, 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.240 doing what he should have done, just ran hard because 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:56.840 it bounced back into the field of play. He didn't 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.600 know if it was off the wall or if it 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.800 was out and you know, bouncing back out of the seat, 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.920 so he just ran hard. Okay. The interesting part here 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.439 is that the umpires never made an official call. Okay, 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.960 so it just goes in the books as a home run. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.040 But what they don't know is if it was an 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.080 inside the park home run or a traditional home run. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.960 I'll tell you what the funny part is. A the 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.360 decision relies with the Alias Sports Bureau and they're gonna 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.840 go over it this week and make the actual distinction. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.680 I will say this, if it was a home run 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.080 that is listed now as a traditional home run, it 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.720 will be by far the fastest trot around the basis 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.640 for a home run this season.

In the last segment, I 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.440 told you I am trying to beat Jacob Degram today. Well, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.240 Jacob Degram and the Mets have given up two runs 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.120 in the first inning against the San Francisco Giants. The 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.199 Orioles all over the Nationals in that Battle of the Beltway. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.880 They're up for nothing after the first inning. And the 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:56.360 Yankees just keep on rolling after eighteen innings. Yesterday, in 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.160 the first inning in the Great American Small Park in Cincinnati, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.959 they have scored reruns against the Reds. As we keep 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.920 it moving into the cipher here on the Fantasy Freestyle, 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.679 I got some news and notes for you in the NFL, 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.720 because you know we always talk NFL here, not only 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.320 on the Fantasy Freestyle, but also on the Fantasy Sports 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.920 Radio Network. I saw these guys even came out with 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.400 a mock draft already that you can catch all the 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.240 all the big time experts that we have here already 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.400 getting into that. So news and notes though, Jets wide 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.560 receiver Robby Anderson was arrested in Miami over the weekend 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.720 at a music festival. Um this is important to know 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.840 because this kind of this guy was something of a 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.160 breakout candidate. And with the Devin Smith injury, with them 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.440 losing Brandon Marshall, with Eric Decker's status being up in 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.480 the air, a lot of people thought that Robby Anderson 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.400 might have been primed for a breakout. Also with the 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.120 Jets rich to Meni Beat reporters reporting that Balao Powell 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.160 might be the favorite over Matt Fort to be their 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.080 lead running back. And you know here, if you've been 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.400 listening to the Fantasy freestyle, you know we love some 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.920 of Bila pal We call them moo milal pal Pal. Also, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.480 the Saints center Max Unger may open the season on 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.720 the pup list with that foot injury that he has. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.960 It's gonna be very interesting in New Orleans to see 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.160 what a Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson offense look like. 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.000 How much of that is out of the gun. Will 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.960 Adrian Peterson actually be running in between the tackles, how 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.760 much we'll go to the rookie Alvin Kamara trying to 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:26.040 play that you know, Reggie Bush Darren Sprawls kind of role. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.680 Last note is there are still some guys out there 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.600 that do not have a home, and I've been mentioning 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.360 to you that this week it starts not managing mattering 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.320 against the compensatory picks. One guy to keep an eye 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.480 on is my man lgbt LA Garrett Blunt. He has 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.080 been linked to the Detroit Lions, to the New York 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.480 Football Giants, and now I'm also hearing the Baltimore Ravens 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.000 might be interested in his services. I think he will 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.760 be the first running back to go and the only 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.200 one that still may have some fantasy relevance that are 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.040 out there, guys like D'Angelo Williams and others. I don't 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.920 think really that important right now. Let's keep it moving, though. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.000 I want to bring in my boy Donnie Burns here. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.360 Not only does he's so hot that we sweat steam 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.680 here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Not only is he the 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.920 love doctor for the Fantasy Freestyle, he is also the 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.920 NBA Playoffs correspondent. And don we gotta catch people up 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.880 on what's been going on. Now. Listen, you've been You've 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.040 been saying that when it comes to the Houston Rockets, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.120 the question is will they hit twenty three pointers or not? Well? 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:30.480 In Game four, the Rockets went nineteen of forty three, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.640 but Gordon looked good, the reason look good, Anderson looked good, 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:36.840 and the Houston Rockets did in fact get that game 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:41.360 to uh not up the series at two. My question 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.240 for you, man is these games when Houston hits that, 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.240 when they play their way, they are very tough to beat. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.000 When they're in the one twenties, I don't think San 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.280 Antonio can get that high. Do you think the Rockets can, 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.080 you know, make twenty three pointers in San Antonio? Don Yeah. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.880 And the problem here is not only is it them 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.840 making that US three pointers, LaMarcus algy just playing horrible 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.520 like four. And the bad thing is if they're able 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.680 to advance, which it doesn't, I don't really know. I 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.760 don't think they can. But if they do, LaMarcus Algrids 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.960 will be even more important against them because not playing 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.600 well at all. So they just don't look in general. 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.800 But I do like the Rockets only because I think 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.760 they're the only team that could score with the Warriors. Wait, 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.280 isn't this a change for you, Donnie Barnes. This is 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.360 a change for you, I think because we've been tracking 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.800 this series here on Fantasy Freestyle for a while, and 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.120 I believe that last time we had enough, I had 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.400 rockets in seven, you were still riding with San Antonio. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:41.399 Is this an official Is this an official change? But 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.920 I had rockets and seven but whatever, But you still 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:45.879 on the Spurs. You now believe that the Beard is 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.240 gonna move on to the Western Conference finals. They hit 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.880 those shots crazy. It's so annoying to watch, but they 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.200 shooted at a hypercent. If they could go fifty cent, 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.879 they're gonna They're gonna win, alright, alright in the Eastern Conference. Listen, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.840 the Washington Wizards continue to look like world beaters in 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.800 our nation's capital, but when they are away from home, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:10.280 they look very, very different. That includes game four hundred 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.480 and twenty one to one oh two against Washington, and Donnie, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.200 we were talking off air about like, who are the 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.000 best players in the Eastern Conference outside of Lebron And 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.199 the person that I submitted and the person that I 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.280 think you know is really getting a well deserved coming 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.440 out party is my man. John Wall. John Wall twenty 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:31.000 seven points, twelve assists, and five steals. And the other 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.320 thing he does, maybe better than anybody else, is he 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.960 controls the pace of the game. When they want to 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:38.720 go slow, he can do that. When they want to 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.280 turn it up and go at breakneck speed, john Wall 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.879 does that exactly with the basketball in his hand. And 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.359 I just and and and maybe they're onto something in 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.440 the in the idea that if this team can contain 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:57.760 Isaiah Thomas, right, then who else on that Celtics like 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.480 actually scared you from an offensive standpoint? Might that be 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.119 where they go and just straight, especially in the fourth quarter, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.960 actually look to double you know, a guy like Isaiah Thomas, 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:09.840 which sounds crazy at five ft nine. But if they 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.000 do that, who else hurts them? Yeah? Well, here's the 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.480 thing I don't even think at this point, because they did. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.119 They got away with a few holes on Isaiah Thomas 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.320 on those off ball screens and those doubles. But it's 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.640 what Scott Brooks found out on their offense are yeah, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.440 their offensive end, because what the Celtics like to do 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.399 is put Isaiah Thomas off ball in the corner what 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.760 have you? Because he plays no defense. And if you 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.280 noticed the last few games, Otto Porters shooting the ball, 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.840 Bognanovich is shooting the ball. Scott Brooks figured it out, man, 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.359 He's got to just get it. Otto Porter has been 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.960 getting quiet what twenty points last night, So they figured 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:50.119 it out, they really did. So you like Washington moving on? 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.920 Remember didn't we also remember my boys that we're gonna 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.720 be on. I'm staying with the season. I'm stealing with 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.560 the Sea because I gotta I gotta nail you to 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.639 these man, because you're flip flopping a little bit. So, 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.560 but you're staying with the Seeds to win this series. 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.840 But you think Washington just looks good. Yeah, they look 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.960 they look very good. This sounds to me like you're 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.080 thinking that that one winds up being Boston and seven 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:09.840 and the home team wins all the rest of the 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.160 games in the series. Right, the home team is definitely 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:13.720 gonna have the advantage in this one, all right, And 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.920
