All right, we'll be right back. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.359 Dame Martinez Speeds and Spitting Statistician. Fantasy Freestyle and the 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:16.919 Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yea, yes, yes, Welcome back now 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.160 to the Fantasy Freestyle here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.480 Com your boy, Dane Martinez Speeds, the Spitting Statistician holding 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.880 you down with my man Donnie Burns, so hot that 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.160 we sweat steam, giving you what you need to win 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.400 your leagues and win that cash. I started off on 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.200 Major League Baseball. I got a couple of news and 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.400 notes to get you involved in what's going on. At 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.840 the first day of the week. We got nine games 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.440 going on. But you need to know after the weekend, 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.080 you know, some injuries, some changes. So first of all, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.880 Joe Ross is set to rejoin the Washington Nationals rotation 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.880 tomorrow in a Tuesday start. Remember earlier in this season 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.360 he got demoted. There was no injury here, but maybe 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.600 he was. You know that case where sometimes guys go 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.160 back down to the minors work some things out. Keep 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.920 an eye on that. Joe Ross re's joining the nash 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.000 Those rotation tomorrow. Phil Hughes, on the other hand, has 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.480 a shoulder injury. He's going on the ten day d 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.600 L for the Minnesota Twins. This is a guy that 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.080 you know has had some success there with Minnesota, but 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.840 not for a while. He will be on the d L. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.680 I never like seeing shoulder injuries with starting pitchers. Speaking 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.280 of which, Taiwan Walker He's going to the d L 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.119 for the Arizona Diamondbacks this however, this is a blister issue, 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.720 so you never know. You see how Rich Hill struggles 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.440 with blisters, reoccurring blisters. Now Taiwan Walker to the deal. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.559 I tell you what, I'd rather be a blister issue 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.880 for Taiwan Walker than some of the foot issues he 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.640 was dealing with last year with Seattle. He may just 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.880 miss one start. Remember, a lot of teams are also 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.200 using that ten day d L to kind of, you know, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.359 just roster management. The Dodgers. Speaking of roster management, the 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.359 Dodgers have option julo eureas to Triple A. I was 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.119 saying all last week about how the Dodgers are doing 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.080 this for roster management, not only sending people up and 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.640 down to Triple A using the options, but using the 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.320 ten day d L. And word has come back that 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.680 Kenta Mayata maybe coming back this week. This is the 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.520 way they're doing it. You know, I've said that they're 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.240 using a de facto six man rotation. This week is 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.800 gonna be Myata back and eurieus down watch what happens 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.000 next week. We'll we'll speculate a little bit on that 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.680 a little bit later on in the show, but also 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.719 over this weekend. Since last time I guys were able 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.480 to talk to you guys on Friday, Brian McCann catch 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.520 for the Houston Astros has gone onto the seven day 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.599 Concussion d L So you never like to see that. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.400 We hope that Brian McCann is. Okay, that means probably 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.080 a lot of that bats for Evan Gaddis this week 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.200 in week long weeks. You gotta love that one. The 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.279 Braves also remember on Friday's show, I gave you diamonds 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.400 and fugazes people to consider at first base if you 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.400 were replacing the output that you were getting from Freddie Freeman. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.240 I gave you names like Justin Smoke in Seattle. I 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.520 gave you I think it was Logan Morrison and Tampa. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.200 I gave you Justin Bore in Miami. All of those 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.320 guys are doing it. But the Braves knew they needed 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.920 to make a move themselves, and they acquired from the St. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.919 Louis Cardinals Matt Adams to kind of, you know, be 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.640 a two three month stop gap for Freddie Freeman. Right now, 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.559 Matt Adams has owned and only four percent of leagues. 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.600 He made his debut for the Braves yesterday. He is 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.360 hitting fifth in that lineup behind Matt Kemp. I am 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.000 telling you right now, this guy is a prime candidate 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.799 to be one of those guys like a J. Bruce, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.160 like a Yonder Alonzo, who all of a sudden will 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.000 embrace the idea of launch angle and getting the ball 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.920 up in the air. That's what Matt Adams does. There's 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.719 so much data backing that up this year as the 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.760 approach for a lot of people. Here's the other thing. 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.000 You heard me last week talk about sun Trust Ballpark 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:44.240 and talk about how balls are flying out of sun Trust. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.560 I think this is an opportunity for Matt Adams. He 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.040 has only four owned. I think in the middle of 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.760 that lineup, that could be a very intriguing pickup. He's 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.000 only four percent owned. Go out and look to see 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.760 if Matt Adams is someone who you can use to 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:02.320 get some power Tuba outfielder Luis Robert. He also signed 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.159 what is reported to be aw to thirty million dollar 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.600 deal with the Chicago White Sox. Keep an eye out 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.920 on him. Remember they have other young studs as well. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.400 I think Mankada in that organization. This is a nineteen 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.040 year old kid who is looking to be an elite 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.960 level talent. The White Sox signed the Cuban import Luis 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.440 Robert Dallas Kaikel. He goes onto the ten day d 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.040 l over the weekend for the Houston Astros. He has 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.000 a pinch nerve in his neck. What a shame, because 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.239 Kaiko has been awesome seven and oh with a sub 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.920 to e r A. We're hoping that this is another 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.600 case where he just misses jets that one start. Um. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.800 The Astros may be able to just sit him down 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.120 and get him back in short order. You know who 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.720 will not be pitching in the big club anytime soon 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.360 for the Detroit Tigers is Annibal Sanchez. He was sent 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.120 down to Triple A. I think this is a viable 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.160 option for him. I mean, he had a nine e 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.040 r A. His whip was over too. That means he's 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.680 given up over two walks or hits for every inning 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.800 he is pitching. The Tigers have set down Animal Sanchez. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.200 One other roster move to let you guys know about. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.520 C J. Kron also sent down to Triple A by 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.120 the Angels. Interesting though. He had a grand slam on 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.200 Sunday against the Mets and then his reward for that 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.920 gets sent down to the miners the next day. I mean, 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.480 it's still a justified move so far in the season. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.400 With about twenty five games in for him, he has 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.840 just a five eighties six o ps. So there are 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.320 your news and notes. What I also want to do 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.040 is tell you about what happened with my predictions over 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.840 the weekend. I hold myself accountable here on the fantasy Freestyle. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.280 This way you know for sure that speeds the spitting 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.520 statistician is a way for you to win your leagues 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.320 and win that cash. I was smoking over the wind 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.839 over the weekend giving you starting pitchers. On Friday, I 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.000 told you that the way to potentially beat Chris Sale, 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.400 even though he was on that ten strikeouts streak, I 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.520 told you the way to do it was maybe going 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.160 down to a three thousand to Alex Would who was 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.200 price a fan duel what he do. I told you 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.880 he had twenty nine strikeouts in his last sixteen innings pitched. 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.040 I told you I liked him at home against the 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.400 against the Rays, what he does seven and a third 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.040 innings pitched, scoreless innings at that got the quality start, 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.679 got the wind, struck out four. That was nice. If 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.800 you listen to me on Friday. On Saturday, when Scherza 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.760 was going, I said the way to beat him was 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.319 with Robbie Ray. How I liked Robbie Ray in San Diego. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.160 I liked this k upside and I like that ballpark factor. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.480 What Robbie Ray do on Saturday? He went seven and 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.560 two thirds of scoreless baseball against the Padres, and he 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.640 struck out six, got you a quality start, got you 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.160 a win. And then on Sunday I told you that 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.400 you Darvish was gonna probably be part of the chalk. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.280 I told you, however, I liked going back to the 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:51.480 Dodgers that I liked Brandon McCarthy against against the Marlins 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.600 who had tb D as they started going into the weekend. 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:59.080 What McCarthy do six innings, pitched, one turned run, struck 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.600 out five, got you a quality start and a win. 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.280 That's what I do here, help you win your leagues 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.440 and win that cash. So you might ask yourself self, 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.920 who do Speeds thinks I should play on Monday? The 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.320 answer is clear. There are three power starters at the 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.360 top of the leaderboard, at the top of you know 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.240 that are the most expensive. Okay, those are Zack Granky 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.360 at ten thousand, three hundred on fan duel. He's got 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.040 a great matchup. Okay, of fading that that that Chicago 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.840 White Sox. I believe it is. I love that matchup. 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.080 Here's the only thing and and you know Zat Granky, 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.920 you know this, he gives me anxiety. I don't like that. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.840 I don't like him the anxious times for Za Granky 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.640 or paying up ten thousand, three hundred on fan Duel. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.440 There's also Garrett Cole. Garrett Cole has been a beast, 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.200 and I'm gonna talk a little bit more about Garrit 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.320 Cole because I think he's on the trade block. I 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.000 think he's on the trade block and he's gonna go 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.360 to one American League contender. I don't know if it's 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.120 gonna be the Astros or the Yankees. But we're gonna 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.560 talk a little bit more about Garrett Cole and his 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.080 value as a trade asset on tomorrow show, on Tomorrow's 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.560 Fantasy Freestyle. But I think he's a viable option at 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.520 hundred against the Braves. The only thing is I don't 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.520 like that sun Trust Park. I've told you guys a while. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.440 You know all last week that there are Homer's going 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.920 left and right at a sun Trust Park. You have 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.880 to be a groundball pitcher to be successful there, Like 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.760 Marcus Stroman was last week Garrick Cole with his power fastball, 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.800 he might give up some home runs. So where am 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.840 I going? I'm going with Michael Planta at eight seven 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.520 hundred tonight for the New York Yankees. I've been telling 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.800 you for weeks now, fading the Kansas City Royals and 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.560 that offense. I like the Yankees at home. Um Planeta 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.920 has had good home road splits. The Yankees are thirteen 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.760 and six at home. They're up against Jason Vargas, a 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.880 guy who they rocked in their last outing last week. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.800 I like New York Yankees starter Michael Planta tonight at 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.520 eight seven hundred. That is speeds starter for your starting lineup. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.720 That's what I do. And here's the thing.

We gotta talk NBA playoffs. 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.560 But first let me give you some news and notes 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.880 from in the NFL real quick, okay. Uh. Darrell Rivus, 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.320 it has been said he is not going to be 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.079 disciplined by the NFL. He has been cleared of those 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.000 charges stemming from a Pittsburgh bar earlier in the off season. 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:02.920 The NFL comes out today and says they will not 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.480 discipline Darrell Reeves. A lot of people thought when that 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.960 story came out that it was a little out of 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.240 character for Darrell Reeves, and so now it comes back 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.560 there will be no discipline handed out by the NFL 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.480 because of that incident. O t A is starting for 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.520 a bunch of teams this week, and this is gonna 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.280 be a relatively slow point of time in the NFL 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.320 calendar for the next two or three months. I'm gonna 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.320 tell you we're gonna get a lot of stories that 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.800 I called I like to abbreviate the G S h 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.840 O L, which is the greatest shape of his life 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.040 kind of stories. All the things that we are gonna 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.160 be hearing right now about football players and how they 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.800 look great. He's in the greatest shape of his life. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.080 He looks quick, he looks like he's so much better 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.160 than he was last year. He's so healthy coming off 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.000 of X Y Z injury. That's the kind of stuff. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.880 That's the kind of crap we are going to hear 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.360 from teams left and right for the next couple of months. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.600 And to be quite honest, if we don't hear that 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:01.760 about somebody, that's when I am concerned. For example, Lions, 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.400 Lions are saying that running back Ameer Abdullah looks great 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.920 and may have a featured role this year with the Lions. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.920 Great that in a metro card gets me home have 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.040 to do? In this episode of Fantasy Freestyle, the Dolphins 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.400 are saying, your boys, Donnie Burns. Your Dolphins are saying 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.520 that wide receiver DeVante Parker looks like quote unquote, he 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.440 can dominate. Guess what. Guess what, Donnie, That's exactly what 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.960 we should be hearing about everybody on that wide receiving 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.000 corps right now. If we're not hearing that about Davante Parker, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.880 if we are not hearing that about Jarvis Landry, I 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.800 would be concerned much like what's his name, Leonte Carew 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.160 out of Rutgers on that squad. That's the only person 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.760 that we're not hearing about. That's what I'd be worried about. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.560 Second year wide receiver for the Washington football team, Josh 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:52.440 Dotson Up. He's surprisingly ahead of schedule from his achilles 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.280 injury and he's gonna be a full go for O 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.520 t a S. Of course, that's what we're hearing. Same 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.600 thing with Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt. He's the third 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.720 round pick. He's looking so impressive that he could give 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.960 Spencer wear a run as the feature back. Of course 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.320 that we're gonna hear. We're gonna keep hearing that about 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.880 a lot of players over the next month or two. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.320 So let's shift gears to the NBA playoffs in the 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.760 conference finals. So I bring in the love doctor and 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:22.440 my basketball corresponded Donnie Burns, let's start first year in 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.800 the Western Conference. I told you I didn't have it 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.760 at the beginning of the show. I can now confirm 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.880 Kauai Leonard is in fact out for Game four in 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:36.160 San Antonio. We got Kevin Durant and Steph rolling quite frankly, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.880 don is there any reason to expect anything other than 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.040 the end of the San Antonio Spurs season tonight at 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.960 home at the Alamo. Probably not. Here's the thing, you know, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.960 Pop is a very pedigreed coach, and you probably you 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.440 gotta think he's thinking into next year already is right 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.240 long term, it's been to championships before. He knows how 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.320 to take care of his guys. He's looking towards next 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.840 year much like a a Belichick board. If that's the 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.439 same situation, he's looking towards the next year. The Warriors 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.640 are gonna win this. So let me ask you this, man, 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.840 if we do in fact advanced the Warriors to the 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.600 NBA Finals, I got two questions for you. Um One, 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.880 how are you going to get my man Clay Thompson 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.080 to get off a little bit more? See here's the thing. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.920 Didn't he not even make any all NBA teams either, right, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.399 and that was only a motivating factor for Lebron and 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.240 m v P on Friday. It looks like you think 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.160 motivated top three. I think so. And here's the thing. Clay, 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.320 in my opinion at times, is probably the second best 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:35.840 player on that team. I don't know who I would 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.359 put first at the time. He's kind of been a 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.439 lost man at times because you always speak highly of 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.359 how he defends well. He doesn't take any crazy shots. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.760 He takes good shots. He's got that quick release, so 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.520 a shot is never really bad for him. But he 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.080 has been playing off. Like we said, you know, if 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.080 you run through steph one of them are gonna go off. 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.879 It hasn't been Clay though, So I guess that's kind 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:58.720 of the thing right now. But you know, we can 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.359 you know, what, do you think you think they do 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.400 anything purposely in game four tonight to try to get 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.879 Clay rolling by chance? Yeah, I mean I could see that. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.960 I mean, I don't know. I can't see Steve Kerr 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.080 kind of making that as a point to first priority, 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.960 but I could see it as part of the storyline. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.720 Here's the other thing I think that um watch out 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.240 tonight for Andre Ingodala because he they they gotta get 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.199 him in rhythm because in the next season, in the 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.159 next series, he's gonna be defriending one Lebron James, and 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.760 he's always been that guy to like man up and 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.199 take that challenge. What do you see, um, how do 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.520 you see the Warriors trying to defend Lebron with a 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.600 guy liking Lodala when they can man up or is 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.480 it a pure team thing, trying to funnel him the 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.640 right way things of that nature. Well, I mean it's 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.800 a half team thing. I would kind of say it 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.760 would have to be a fully healthy Iguadala with the 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.640 combination of maybe a Draymond. But the thing with Draymond 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.520 guarding Lebron is, for whatever reason, his first step is 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.840 never as quick as Lebron's. And you know, you've seen 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.240 Draymond guard all kinds of superstars, but for whatever reason, 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.000 he has trouble with Lebron's first step. So if Andre 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.760 Iguodala isn't fully healthy, I would go with a combination 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.040 of those two. But I mean, Lebron is playing goat 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:17.360 level right now. Night. Let's get into this. Let's get 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.119 into this. Lebron, You're right and I completely agree. But 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.840 here's the thing. You know, Lebron was a little salty 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.919 last night after the game. To listen, I listen, Lebron 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.600 is the best player on the planet. Okay, Lebron is 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.840 the best player on the planet. Lebron is the man. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.560 But check this out. When you're the man and you 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.040 have an off night, you're not supposed to get salty 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.520 like that. Man. It looked as though the reporter actually 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.560 kind of like affected him by asking him questions. You 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.119 gotta be above that man. You gotta be understanding that 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.960 you can have a bad night and it's no big deal. 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.120 It was a little bit weird to see him allow 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.119 himself to have his buttons pushed like that. Yeah, and 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:57.040 honesty is our thing on Fantasy Freestyle, so I will 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.359 have to say that I did if you can recall, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.760 I did have the Calves sweeping the Celtics, so I 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.880 have to admit what I'm wrong. That's okay, that's okay. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:07.439 That's why you know, we need the night Owl to 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.080 maintain that board for us so we could have all 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.320 of our claims, you know. And here's my thing. Let's 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.600 all right, so let's get into this Eastern Conference obviously. 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.520
