Recap cuz I want to get in and out as best as I can but there are 13 games on and there were quite a few interesting things that we needed to talk about so let’s talk about it before we do get into that first game though I did
Mention this in the um week 10 preview show not all of you watch or listen to that one though so we’ll do it again now I am going to be doing something not quite not quite an internship but I’m going to need somebody as like some sort
Of a research assistant a couple of hours a week uh on a Tuesday it’ll be um that I do need that for help with Buy Low sell highs and and digging into stats and finding information for me I will put out the application form for
That coming soon um so just be on the lookout for that in the next 2 to 3 days that’ll come out so just be aware that I will will be doing that coming up very very soon let’s go to The Games first one it is the Milwaukee Bucks they took
On the New York Knicks they beat him pretty handily 130 to 111 good game from punch Bob 27 for Bobby Porters 23 and 11 there with 3 threes it’s the same thing usually with Porter but to be fair to him the two steals are nice but it’s
Good scoring it’s good rebounds came on uh really good shooting numbers it’s been quite up and down but over the last two weeks he’s been really good so you can roll with him I still don’t fully buy it long term but he’s seeing the minutes push up Yanni had 287 and seven
With solid enough free throws and lard 199 and 7 it was a much better game from leaky Beasley 31 minutes for him 19 and six with 5 threes but we know the story with Beasley you get points in threes sometimes you get him at high efficiency sometimes you don’t really get him much
At all that’s fine to roster it’s probably 10 of those blocks around the NBA it’s him norp Tim Hardaway um I can’t even think there’s about four or five others can Co Pope sometimes you can jump in you can add him you can use them and then you move on and that’s
Sort of I think where we are with Beasley probably the best thing to come out of this game was Chris Middleton played 33 minutes 20 points five rebounds five assists 56% that’s top 70 Middleton we’ll see where it goes but that is really really encouraging to see those minutes push
Back up not a good game from Brook Lopez in fact it was bad Five Points in 35 minutes with a block on 14% but given what he has been doing for us we give him a little bit of a pass there although he is where he he’s back
Outside the top 50 now per game again still great value from picking him at 75 but not that sort of ridiculous top 10 top 12 run that he was having for the Knicks Isaiah hartstein 33 minutes into start 12 and 13 you just got to Ross him everywhere there’s no reason you
Shouldn’t there was some debate Tom the was like no he’s Mitch Robinson’s only eight to 10 weeks all right then why is the front office applying for an injury exception that keeps him out until June somebody’s lying we’ll find out who and we’ll find out who is lying when the NBA
Makes a determination on the disabled player exception is it Tom is it Leon Rose we’ll find out regardless hardenstein I must add um and honestly I could talk about this team for a while but I won’t because it’s the same [ __ ] I will quickly mention shout out to
Demitro scabin who honestly this guy he was on their roster in the preseason I remember that I did not see any notification of him getting signed so when I looked at this box I went wow okay and I looked on real GM’s transaction list no no Noe spot track nothing
So he just appearing in games and no official notification of being signed all right shout out to you scapin um obviously we’re not adding scapin the same [ __ ] happened though with all those wings 29 minutes for R Barrett 13 and7 on 29% that’s a Barrett special you can
Jack him off get that garbage out of here quickly 7 points 22 minutes Josh Hart 22 and three and 26 minutes I cannot for the life of me sit here and tell you that you must hold these players this is the exact problem that we talked about in the preseason it’s
The 240 game there is not enough there for these guys to do enough consistently that they can’t do it so you don’t have to roster him the same goes for The Big Ragu who’s probably at the moment Dante D venzo the best of the lot 11 points 3
Threes but only 24 minutes he has been top 100 over the last two weeks Sten chenzo in only 22 minutes that’s a very tall order to expect him to continue to do that though and I don’t so I’m not going to consider him a must roster player um short King Legend jayen
Brunson had 363 and 7 in 37 minutes what’s funny about this whole short thing about Jaylen Brunson is it’s not about him being short necessarily you just can’t I don’t think you can win a title with Jason if Jaylen Brunson is your best player like I think that’s
Been pretty well documented through NBA history like he’s a very good player you can’t win if he’s your best player I don’t think also 62 being considered Short’s pretty funny it is short to me because I’m you know huge but for most people that’s uh gigantic it’s just
Funny in an NBA perspective Julius Randle 26 and8 for him big numbers for those guys it’s the same thing that usually happens with your New York uh Fidos on to the next game it is the Boston Celtics in a big blowout over the LA Clippers 145 108 Pingus was out with
That ankle that he did spray in at the end of the last game not the carish shoots the ankle so Al Horford had six and seven five assists and two blocks we don’t know where the pingles will be ready for Christmas Horford would be the
Guy to use there so if you wanted to add him go for it I can’t I can’t explain Derek white I don’t know what I can I know that he’s good known that he’s been good for ages someone the other day took issue when I said that I was one of the
First people to talk may you definitely were’t the first cool that actually doesn’t matter cool I take it back I just liked him for a long time he had another three blocks here with three threes and three rebounds and three assists the old Chris scale good numbers from Derek white they’re continuing I
There’s just no way like I just cannot see how it sticks at this level just enjoy it though Jason Tatum return 30 minutes 53 is good to see him back in Holiday had 20 and six with seven assists his last couple of weeks have been much much improved improved after a
Poor start Jaylen had 24 but the I guess the interesting one there is nus kada he had 14 and 12 in 23 minutes and that’s a couple of double doubles in his last three games but of course it means that cornet and Pingas have had to be out now
You could very easily argue and and I will that he’s been better in the games that he’s played than what cornette has so he could get a rotation role but when Pingus and Horford are there how many actual Center minutes are available five six it’s not many so while that’s great
It’s something to look at it’s something to be interested in it’s good development from kada the old pastes denata um I don’t think we need to worry about it too much for fanasy for the Clippers there was no kawhai hopefully he’s okay for next week they’ve only got
Two games next week so again if he is injured missing a two game week is actually a w like that’s good to do that George had 21 points with a steel and two blocks Jimmy Harden 144 and9 but again this game was over really really early Westbrook had 125 and five still
Maintain you don’t don’t need to be rostering him in 12 Norman pal he’d been playing well he didn’t seven points in 25 minutes here was still is top 100 over the last two weeks he’s fine to have he’s also fine not to have and of course you’re definitely not having
Terren man the way we know this game was weird is we got first quarter Brandon Boston minutes BJ had 13 and Kobe Brown played 25 minutes for 62 and four which is a lot of coolness but it also in the end doesn’t really mean anything for us
When we look at this stuff um we look at this stuff long term let us go onto the next game the third game of the day we’ve got 13 of them to bang through so we’re going to talk rockets and Pelicans the Rockets get over the line 106 104 let’s talk about
The delic dancer and are our fears assuaged slightly that’s great 38 minutes 37 111 and six look at those free throws as well bloody what did he go 14 of 17 82% love to see it cuz he’ been under 70 All Season most importantly he didn’t get benched down
The stretch which is happened in about three of the last four games and Jabar Smith on an absolute heater 26 and 11 with four threes of Steal on the Block took us a while to get here he’d struggled for most of the beginning of the season but now he is rolling he’s
Top 80 for the year really good stuff brooksie had five5 and five cool don’t care while van vit only the 36 minutes which is low for him he had a steal on two threes but one of his worst games and we’ve got to make well let’s let’s
Have the discussion about Jaylen green I think I’ve already had the discussion on our two waiver wise shows during the week when I put him on the dropable list that gabbage out of here nine points 22 minutes one foul 25% tell what I am I’m very worried about the g-league ignite program and
I’m very worried about all these guys coming through from it this season as well how they’re going to work out in the draft cuz he is not very good and not contributing in many areas and in a points League sure you hold him and when
I say points Le guys I have to choose something to talk about so I talk about the most popular fantasy platform Yahoo and their default scoring system because you can come out here and say well actually he’s a trash in my points League that’s cool I cannot do that I I
Cannot provide information and rankings that’s what basketball monster can do for your individual points League um format also people try and get so weird and wonderful with formats are we’re going to do this it actually makes it more strategic it it doesn’t it’s just a different way of valuing the players it
Doesn’t actually change the level of strategy in a um in a points League format if you add bonuses and you know uh efficiency hits and all that sort of stuff it’s still in the end more fantasy points for the week wins that that’s how it is I’m not not denigrating the thing
Because you having Simplicity sometimes is really really strong but what it does mean is that when we talk about points leagues and why it is hard to provide specific points League content on a show like this is because everyone loves to get in there and tinker and change and
Move and then whatever information is provided it doesn’t apply to you at all so that’s you when I give these numbers and say Jaylen Green’s 106 rength points League player he might be 150th in yours because you’ve got efficiency hits or double double bonuses that boost the big
Guys up or whatever it is but I can’t do that I can’t provide that information I I just it’s impossible for me to do so there you go anyway jayen Green Drop hold in points T’s this season he’d been really good missed a couple with a leg
In D but we also mentioned this a lot of times watch for the minutes because even in the last game that he played he played nine first half minutes and then got an extended run and played like the final 16 or 17 of the game but when you
Are in a situation where the path to minutes in front of you is not entirely clear all the time and when shenon and Smith are getting run like this it’s going to be hard still want to hold him but I have not like guarantee that he
Will be this guy every game he doesn’t have that clear of a path the so every game that he did was like oh shingun got benched and green got benched and Smith got benched and Brooks was ejected or whatever it is always was something and something and then e went bananas in
This little stretch of time and it got him more minutes and it’s just not always it’s not as clean as I’d like it to be for the Pelicans well this is eye opening herb Jones played 18 minutes and you might think well he gets a lot of
Fouls Josh yeah he had one of them he had six points with two threes on 25% he had no Steals and no blocks and I think he is a steel specialist who at the moment is getting those deals get that garbage out of here in a 12 team category League I’d be okay
With holding him but Trey Murphy’s return which is something that before the knee surgery at the start of the year I thought Murphy should start over Jones and we might be getting there 34 minutes to Murphy and 18 to Jones doesn’t have to be dropped but recognize Jones for what
He is a defensive stats streamer that’s it that that’s what I think anyway and those minutes are clearly troubling Zion played 34 he had 288 and4 two Steals and a block on 69% shooting we obviously love that but only 50 from the line but you know that that is great cuz these
Last couple of games have been bad and valent chunes had 10 and 11 with two Steals and a block after a bit of a locker room Trip Murphy 14 and six 3 threes and two steals what we love there from Trey is 34 minutes part of the
Other issue with Trey though has been does he get enough shots when Zion and Ingram play and he only had 17 usage here so maybe not still needs to be rosted but the high high upside needs something else to happen um McCullum 13 and five rough shooting
From the field three or four from the line had the steal on the block though I still do very much believe he’s not going to be a top 50 player rest of season so just be aware of that Ingram had 193 and five and continues to be i’ say relatively underwhelming without
Being bad like he’s is he underwhelming maybe he’s not maybe he’s just doing exactly what we thought when we drafted him around 55 to 65 he’s I guess sort of in that range so yeah maybe it’s not disappointing maybe I’ll take that back the next one was the Denver Nuggets
And the Charlotte Hornets yic 18 10 and N cool but that game is not good cuz he didn’t get the extra assist so sorry this is for the people who use triple doubles as a category and triple double bonuses in a points in a points League
Just not a good game is it just need that one assist and then everything would have been fantastic would have been the best game ever that’s why I hate those bonuses they’re arbitrary and they’re nonsense don’t have them don’t have them as a category either oh but
Jos it’s great cool anyway I can’t tell you what to do with your league do whatever you need to do Jamal Murray 20 and 12 five assists and three steals for the head Master while Michael Ponder had 22 and five with 5 threes not a great Aaron Gordon game but nothing terrible
14 and two and then we go to see what kavus cwell pope is doing and the answer is nothing to be fair to him two Steals and four blocks is not nothing it’s really good it’s Matti thel but is mati thel a master roster player he had three
Points here I think he had four points last game kcp I am looking at and the blocks are obviously not what kcp does I do not believe that kavia cwell Pope is a must roster player in 12 team leagues and definitely not in points leagues absolutely not in points leagues you can
Jack him in points leagues get that Gage out of here in category leagues very borderline Christian Brown had 11 and seven and it wasn’t as good of a game from pton Watson he did have a steal on a block though but this is still just deeper League stuff for the Hornets they
Were without Terry roer lamelo ball doubtful Legend Mark Williams um it does appear that Bal is going to be back really soon I think next week he’s doing his usual pregame routine everything looks normal so I think he’s back next week maybe Thursday so keep an eye on
That but with all those guys out they trotted out um 20year Legend 20 team Legend both those numbers are made up but they’re not far off ish Smith started 26 minutes for ish 43 and 8 remember this team is so inept they didn’t have any guards on their roster
They signed is after the season started before an injuries because they went ah oh point guard what we better get one that’s what they did they didn’t have anyone an absolute failure again at roster construction from this team anyway is started but it wasn’t he wasn’t the Smith that caught my eye cuz
It was Nick he had 193 and two 25 minutes with 53 I think he had 17 points in the last quarter really good can he take that backup roll away from ish we’re not adding Nick anywhere but he’s just that’s just a little bit of a flash
To just keep that in our mind Cody Martin the zombie returned I cannot believe that he played we’re not adding him anywhere obviously but 17 minutes in his first game back is going to make it really really interesting when lamelo plays what happens to Brandon m cuz
Miller will go to the bench and then if Steve Clifford likes Cody Martin like I think he might it’s going to make Miller I believe unrustable and you might think that’s stupid for the second overall pick cool look at the team he plays for I do think there is a gigantic chance of
That happening for now you could hold Miller even though he got hurt here had four points and two assists Honestly though now I going say that he’s 214th over the last two weeks he’s 175th on the season maybe you don’t need to hold him because to me he’s a rookie but I
Don’t think things are pointing up I think they’re pointing down down cuz when ball comes back his role will be reduced so I’m not even sure that you need to hold him hm PJ had 208 with four steals in two blocks shot 30% which is shocking but
Took 20 attempts he does need to be rosted but you know what it is he’s a good tuo Legend and then miles Bridges 35% shooting what I love here about bridges and I hate I don’t want to put those two words together because I don’t love anything about this book but I love
That he was able to um up the usage for the first time without ball and bring big defensive stats two steals three blocks Tribbles he shot only 35% though and yeah screw this guy forever let us do the next game what is the next game
It is the Orlando Magic do we get to sing the song well we would but play it in the background cuz I’m going to drop a that was a little too high pitch just my anyway magic they beat the pace is 117 110 and thank you Orlando for making
The center rotation more confusing because wend Carter junr struggled again 16 minutes 48 and four yes he’s coming back off an injury but he hasn’t had one good game this season I do believe that he’s a solid enough player I do believe he’s had good years in the past but my
Fantasy leash on him is very very short cuz the upside is not that high if I’m in a 10 Team league jacked completely points League jacked completely um yeah and honestly if you will like there’s someone really cool on my w wire pky drop him who cares the upside is not
That high to get yourself worked up about it they closed the game with Goa badad one point two Steals and a block didn’t take a shot but he’s in there to screw things up which makes it hard we don’t need to roster him obviously but that is weird they went back to the
Three moag had n and 20 b had 37 347 and four France had 24 and six good games there and G Harris turned it back 35 minutes for him with suggsy out and Fs out and Engles out 15 points with two Steals and two threes
For Harris we do not need to do a single thing with that for the Pacers well I guess Hal Burton’s back 29 2 and 14 three steals 40 minutes he had a bit of a problem with his hips so just watch that one but good to see him back while
Miles Turner had 24 and seven locker room trip and four blocks and we can very easily drop Isaiah Jackson get that gabbage out of here six minutes is the third string Center he’s rostered in just an inordinate amount of leagues same with T.J McConnell who’s a third
String point guard now we do not need to hold in 12 or 14 team leagues honestly with no Bruce Brown who is a drop um Andrew neard started 36 minutes 171 and 5 that’s a really good game don’t buy it for a single second a I don’t know how
Long brown is out B he won’t shoot 80% C I don’t care enough for his Fantasy game to consider that an ad well Aaron nemith to me is more of a 14 guy than a 12 team League guy he had three points in 28 minutes he had two Steals and what is
Really intriguing I did do this the other day I did a live look up of this in one of the shows with no Bruce Brown there they did not start n Smith because they play him almost exclusively as a power forward 15% minute small forward 855 power forward they view him as a
Power for I don’t know what the hell’s going on with their actual power forward jarus Walker but that’s where they view n Smith the two steals is nice but to me there’s not enough to look at him as an absolute guaranteed must roster player speaking of not mus rosters OB top and
Had three points in 24 minutes the only reason he’s Val even looks solid is he was shooting like 6 75 % or something he didn’t here you can go ahead and get rid of him and Ben Maan 16 minutes two points two rebounds with nard back we’ve obviously jacked him already get that
Garbage out of here and you’ll have this flash you’ll score 30 in the next game and people add him you do not need to do this you do not need to roster him he is a like a 16 Team league player who has fallen flat on his ass this season heeld
Had 20 and S with 53s in 38 minutes I haven’t seen Bud heeld play that many minutes in uh in quite quite a while um yeah okay what is the next game we’re going to take a look at because we are doing the Utah Jazz traveling to Toronto and
Getting the upset Victory I forgot to hit the little thing if I’m going to make them make them work I better hit them there you go bang Jazz Raptors 126 119 we’ll talk about Toronto soon don’t worry Utah their lineups never make sense to me Jordan Clark
Returned had 30 Off the Bench with six assists and four threes go ahead and add him he’s in that mix with the Leaky Beasley where sure that’s great that’s nice good cool well done love it and then he goes completely cold but when he’s back and he’s rolling go with it no
Horton Tucker no George so Chris dun started 88 and 13 steel blocked 27% he’s a great stream if those guys remain out but that’s a huge if they could both return next game and they started K Lin and John Collins again I am sorry John Collins is just not good anymore I just
Yeah I I wouldn’t necessarily drop him in fantasy but I’m telling you now he will not remain on 12 team rosters the rest of this season cuz he is going to get limited or traded or benched or something he’s not good anymore 10 and five with 27 minutes he hit two threes
It doesn’t make sense the pairing that makes the most sense is Alin and Kessler I don’t know why they don’t do it enough but that makes the most sense Kelly Lin is so underrated as a player he can shoot he can defend a bit he can pass
And he has 74 and seven but played 17 minutes the John Collins trade was cheap sure but he’s not working out I don’t know what the point of him there is as for Kesler the boo windows open because it’s really frustrating here he started played 30 minutes not in this
One and that was two games ago then they benched him for what reason the reason is that he doesn’t work with John Collins but why will hardy and I’m a big like will hardy guy in general I was last season he’s been I think quite bad
This season as a coach why would your decision be to bench Walker Kesler and not John Collins which one of these guys has a future in your organization I’ll give you a hint it’s not John Collins so that one doesn’t make a lot of sense but
Surely we get something to come out of this and I think I think we can move on from Colin seon I’m not convinced you might want to hold one more game he started but with Clarkson back he only got 25 minutes he had 160 and three his value was not
Really from the absences of George and Horton Tucker is from the absence of Clarkson they crossed over a little bit but not enough so that would be like hm who am I going to drop to add someone or to activate off IR or whatever um like seon was probably going to be that
Guy markon was great 30 and9 four threes three steals probably has a fake injury in March so just watch where your playoffs are as to whether he’s available or or should be available or you should get rid of him that’s what I’m trying to say in that scenario for
The Raptors Scott Barnes another big game from barnesy 3214 and 7 a block 4 threes 52% he’s actually rolling again really really great to to see this continued improvement from Barnes and I’d actually say that legitimately he’s been awesome and and he’s great to see cuz contrary to what you might believe I
Actually do want all players to succeed except the ship BLS those ones I don’t care that much about it I need to get some questions about what Darko is doing because we’re not quite in buker territory we’re not there yet but and you know he’s been given
Some of the worst ingredients he could get but there’s some real question marks about what he’s doing he trots out the same starting lineup every game it’s not really working and the guy that he benches I don’t think is the problem and that is a problem cuz that’s
Yakob purle 21 minutes for purle here after being great last game yet had only two points I know that that’s not his job four rebounds two blocks but I believe it was he was the yeah only player with a positive plus minus in this game it’s not everything he’s also
Got the third highest uh EPM for the season on this team yet he’s the one who gets reduced after they gave up assets and a ridiculous contract to get him back there’s some disconnect there while you keep just pumping the minutes into dinner schroer who’s been subpar since
The beginning of the year 113 and 7 for schroer with three steals I do think at some point there’s going to be a change and that change appears to be Gary Trent who played 28 minutes here 16 and4 and now Trent has pushed himself into the Leaky Beasley Timmy Hardaway Jordan
Clarkson group of redh hot ice cold shooting threes type streamers he’s getting these minutes pushed up I fear would bench purle and put Sak back at Center something which we have seen does not work long term when realistically I just think they should be putting the ball in Barn’s
Hands here running him as a point guard and get some shooting out there I much like John Collins it was an interesting start to the season a good start to the season for sha I don’t think it’s going to last long term I don’t think it’s going to last the rest
Of this year not dropping him yet but this is just like a if you’re relying upon Dennis Shredder on your fantasy team be prepared I think for that that to not be there all season Oobi good game finally 19 2 and four two steals two threes Kel HK has
Been [ __ ] every other game uh can’t think that he’s turned it around cuz it’s one game but it’s better than it being another bad one put it that way that’s probably the easiest way of doing oh now I got to talk about this team all right let’s do it should we even bother
The Detroit Pistons and the Brooklyn Nets yeah we’ll do it 126 Brooklyn 15 Detroit because there is something to talk about Tom G had a media conference the other day like no we’re not making any immediate changes I’m going to go there I’m going to talk rotations cool
Get your nose out of the business in that respect hire the right people and get these [ __ ] in the front office out of there he’s going to empower Troy Weaver and his band of merry men to make trades to fix this roster after it was their trades and free agent
Signings that put them into this mess seriously Tom at least we got something resembling a lineup that they should run with now eventually Isaiah Stewart should go out of there but I am almost 100% convinced that when Jaylen Duran returns next week that they’re going to push Isaiah
Stewart back to the four and push AAR Thompson back to the bench I don’t know I called him AAR they’re like AAR to the shopkeeper assar um I’m [ __ ] scared of it this lineup made sense Ivy Cunningham Thompson bogdanovich and Stewart let’s talk elf Stewart The
Flaming gar had 20 five with four threes five assists are steal on a block I could not care less he shot 89% and he shouldn’t be getting these minutes long term so I’m not adding him Jaden Ivy though we talked about at the end of
Last game and one of our new ethoses on this show now new Ten Commandments maybe it’s the 11th etch down the bottom in a Sharpie not ET you don’t chch in Sharpies you ride in Sharpies on the on our Ten Commandments board get out in
Front all right get out in front Ivy is starting to Trend up here get out in front well here we go 23 6 and 7 two blocks and 3 threes 8 of 10 from the line is this going to stick all season how would I know I got no idea what
They’re going to do game by game the only thing I can predict with the Pistons is they probably lose but only that on the bench now of course Monty Williams favorite Killian Hayes was out with a late scratch illness so could they just go back and
Bench Ivy I don’t know but I am convince is the wrong word I am leaning heavily towards believing a lot of the problems with this team and this losing streak comes from the way that Jaden iy has been treated I know that seems outrageous to suggest that a benching of
A second-year player has caused the team to equal the NBA’s longest losing streak but I think it has the benching of assar Thompson I think it has I think it’s impacted it I think it’s a big part of it soured everybody on what the coach was doing don’t know maybe maybe I’m
Wrong assar had 7 and five with a steel the 31 minutes are nice I’m not 100% convinced he’s got to be added you can but I’m not I’m not 100% there I would at this point I would add Ivy over Thompson buan had 198 and4 with two
Steals and Cade had 22 3 and six not a great Cade game still okay not a great one um James wisman went from you know putting up big numbers two games ago to being out of the rotation I mean sick that’s great like love it what what’s
The point of any of this [ __ ] and Marvin Bagley was like what almost perfect from the field last game 22 points and had five in 15 minutes here so obviously we don’t need to roster Marvin Bagley for the Nets nothing to get you back on track like playing Brooklyn and that’s
What m Bridges did 29 six and S triple one big percentages 10 of 10 from the line love that he’d been trending downwards horribly in fact 181st over the last two weeks that’s not trending downwards that’s sinking but this getss him back on track cam Johnson Better
Game as well 18 points two threes and two steals I like that k clao 11 and seven a nice out of character Richie Beno two assists two Steals and two blocks Vinnie Smith 10 and six solid enough good streamer dwy eh last couple games from Spence haven’t been ideal 144
And7 but we keep holding Ben Simmons some every day someone ask me hey man what do I do do I drop Ben Simmons I don’t know [ __ ] hold any longer what are you doing we dropped him on the 10th of November why have you held this long the easiest drop of all time
Easiest cam Thomas 20 points two rebounds 44% you’re not going to be shocked to know that he had like the lowest plus minus of anybody on this team because I still don’t believe and this is I don’t believe that he is a winning basketball player at all but people have different
Opinions on this if I had cam Thomas in a dynasty League I would sell high I would trying and get anything I just don’t think that he can M maybe things develop even further and they view him as his number one option I this the way
That he plays to me doesn’t make it likely that he’s able to maintain a long run as a top option I have been wrong on many players before shout out to Killian Hayes I just don’t see it every advance that for cam Thomas obviously horrendous this season as well like
Horrendous and yeah it’s it’s a personal thing but it’s a personal preferen as to game type and we’ll see how it all works out for now you definitely hold him in fantasy leagues not dinos that’s where you try to sell High be hold him in the other formats and we’ll see where it
Goes Memphis Grizzlies they win again with jar back against the Hawks 125 119 Desi Bane was awesome 376 and six with 5 threes while Morant had 30 and6 11 assists and a triple one big games from both of those guys well jiren only played 24 due to foul trouble shout out
To Taylor Jenkins for fouling him out 20 and2 for jiren that’s such an old jiren line 20 points two rebounds and then nothing else not great but you know he had been playing much better I yeah Vince Williams 35 minutes he’s only rosted in 2% of leagues I know he’s not
A sexy name he’s it’s Vince Williams it’s the bug it’s the combi it’s the community Transport but it needs to be higher than two Five Points 11 rebounds two steals he’s 139th over the last two weeks that suggests to me that every 14 Team league someone should be rostering
Vince Williams and they’re not now Marcus Smart is going to return but Vince Williams is outplay John kcha outplay San d outplay z Williams David Rod Jac Ria DMP Legends for these last three weeks easily he will have a rotation role and he will be converted to a full-time
Contract this I I cannot get a justification for rostering santiel dharm no chance move on get rid of him North Xavier Tillman the cashier had six points in 6 minutes it’s been a huge Fall From Grace for him and bio had 8 and 11 in 29 minutes and good minutes
For Z Williams but I don’t trust that at all either for the Hawks Jaylen Johnson’s coming back back if for some reason he is on your wire shouldn’t be going at him JRE Hunter was out of this one too good going from Deonte really efficient scoring 26 4 and four with two
Steals while capella had 20 and 12 with two blocks so that was must mean the capella playing 30 that we got a bad Kong game oh cont we had 28 minutes from ANA 10 and seven two steals two blocks 50% shooting he is 73 over the last two
Weeks good the big test is going to be what happens when Hunter and Johnson are back but I will posit this question to you when those guys are back is inar kongu a better player than sadik Bay at the four I don’t know the answer to that you could argue that he
Is but he’s going to lose minutes because Jaylen is going to get his roll back because this team has been Dreadful without him amazing that it requires Jaylen Johnson to be in for them to be good we definitely definitely roster a kongu and we’re almost definitely going
To drop baay later on who was F fine 14 and six with two Steals and bogdanovich had 164 and3 bogdanovich will also lose a little bit when those players return but he’s not going to be a drop and their depth is horrendous Garris and Matthews got to start because they have
Nobody outside like their top nine players like it’s it’s really bad one of the worst depth teams it’s underratedly bad them and the Knicks have some of the worst back end of a roster the next one is your Cleveland Cavaliers against my Chicago Bulls you come out on top
10995 there was no Don Mitchell Garland Levert so it was Craig Porter time Derek White Jr dropped 197 and8 with a triple one he will get converted as well like him longterm for dynasty the path to minutes on this team is not particularly clear also shout out I don’t know if you
Guys in this podcast one of the athletic NBA podcast the Saturday slaming jam with um Andrew schle and they do the trivia quiz questions and they had Justin Rowan on about the Cavs and it was like you tell us which one of these isn’t an officially recognized nickname
On Bas monster and one of the names they chucked out was milk and they all thought it was fake it’s Ty Jerome come on guys it’s everyone knows that Ty Jerome is milk and then Ty Jerome claims that he doesn’t know why is cold milk
Bro I think you know anyway um that’s a long way of me saying that Ricky Rubio isn’t coming back unfortunately Ty Jerome’s bad and Craig Porter’s better that’s only a deeper League Dynasty thing though the winner soldier played 41 minutes Maxi strews 261 and seven two
Steals with five threes took a lot of shots but again it’s hard to read much into this game considering who was out while um Isaac Aura had 12 three and three 14 teer not really a 12 but all of these guys one all of them Mitchell and
Lever and Merill could all be back next game which completely nukes a lot of well not completely but nukes a lot of the Craig Porter stuff for the Bulls not winning against whatever that was that the Cavs chucked out is really disappointing V was good though 22 in 34
Minutes good good day for the guys that I absolutely hate like V I’m a massive V hater hate the block I don’t I just try and value them correctly anyway V had 20 and 12 on 64% his field goal percentage has been a big detriment this season so
Good to see some good efficiency and demard de Rosen continues to put up interesting numbers 215 and8 three steals is great on the surface but have a look at his field goal percentage it’s actually pretty bad at least his free throws are back on track eight of nine
Which again has been a problem during the season and this is why he’s ranked where he is 62nd but he’s on a better streak here just watch the field goals kobit white played 40 minutes 174 and 7 he is cooling off somewhat but still putting up numbers which is solid and
Pat Williams just I think you got to Rost him now I fully am expecting again if I get this one right million dollars everyone everyone’s got to send me a million dollars I don’t even have venmo but I’ll find a way to create one so you
Can give me a venmo it doesn’t exist in Australia because we have banks that can accept transfers Pat Williams next game is going to be a 41 and one game with a block that’s what in in 30 minutes get ready for it million dollars each call your accountants
You still got to roster him so so you do with the rabbit Hunter Alex Caruso they got three games next week the Bulls which is average 10 and four two threes block that’s not a great Caruso game but doesn’t matter they got to be added and they’re not added everywhere of course
Andre Drummond doesn’t do what he did last game he had one and six you 11% rosted in 12 te leagues is one of the funniest numbers I’ve seen why is that happening he does not need to be rosted in those leagues anyway get rid of him
You don’t need to hold him in those uh sort of formats the next one the LA Lakers I told you there was a lineup change coming and I told you they were going to swap D’Angelo Russell for Jared Vanderbilt and they did and I still don’t understand it but what do I know
They won and they shot 50% from three cool they didn’t really play that starting group together all that much but there is still no shooting in that group here we go with the Lakers right so the big question you’re going to have 38 minutes into this podcast is
What do you do with D’Angelo Russell Jack just wait one second he’s a very clear Jack candidate right he it’s very clear Russell moved to the bench played 17 minutes but they have four games this upcoming week including being the only team with a Saturday Sunday back toback to end the
Week and that might just be enough to hold him or it might not be get that gamage out here it’s all going to come down to individual decisions but a backup point guard playing 17 minutes you want nothing to do with that on your Russell long term now the good news for
Russell if there is any good news is that Gabe Vincent looks like he’s going to be out longterm with knee surgery as the knee has not um uh healed and yeah there you go so that’s that’s that but Vincent didn’t play in this one and DLo
Was um yeah barely playing so that is uh yeah that’s a concern without any question about his value but the four games makes him um yeah yeah makes makes him someone to hold on to maybe again it’s all about individual situations so I try to find the button
Here um LeBron look ridiculous 40 and 7 53 seven assists two steals two blocks Davis had 26 11 and 7 with two blocks and it was a great game from ru hachimura 21 points 3 threes 30 minutes six rebounds I don’t care I’ve seen ruy
Play for four years this is Fifth and it just doesn’t happen I’m not adding Ru haimura I’d be more interested in adding toan Prince even though his game was worse 10 points two threes a steel two blocks uh but on ruy everything that I said for D’Angelo holds true they have
Four games next week so a little bit of volume can help I am really confused about what they’re doing with Austin Reeves a guy that was very clearly their third best player in the playoffs on a team that made a run to the Conference Finals he’s been very clearly their
Third best player this season so why do he play only 28 minutes so cam reddish can play 28 as well reddish had seven assists here we don’t need to Rost to him and Vanderbilt had 2 and six in 24 minutes I get that they’re prioritizing
Defense but at at some point you need a little bit of offensive juice now they were great here like no no question they played really well I’m just a little confused here with the Reeves treatment now Reeves despite this not great game nine assists are good he is still 52nd
Over the last two weeks I worry a little bit about his fit and dealer but obviously in this one at least they prioritize Reeves over D’Angelo Russell again just quickly do not add Vander onto the Thunder there was no Josh giddy in this one so they started case Wallace
He had 53 and four we’re not adding him outside of like 16 teers and the other popular ad was Isaiah Joe but he’s only a three-point streamer 20 minutes 7 points 13 27% shooting you do not need to grab him you also don’t need to grab
L Dort because he is L Dort eight points 30 minutes 33% you stream him in he gets hot occasionally absolutely no mus oldness there at all the Bronco had a good one 28 6 and three while Shay had 345 and seven another three Steals and
N9 of 10 from line this man is putting up some of the most insane numbers I’ve seen in a long time and that’s saying something these numbers he’s putting up a stupid bit of a shout out throwback from the Oklahoma City thund uh Oklahoma City Thunder the Oklahoma City mud flap
Kenich Williams 112 and5 23 minutes he sort of been phased out of the rotation somewhat but he came back here good numbers and we can thoroughly thoroughly ignore it what about the next game what’s where we’re going to go Portland Golden State 126 Golden State 106 Portland
Brogon played 37 minutes 176 and 12 three Steals and a block I’m going to ask my man chy Bops a question um and I’m going use a bottle of he can use water if he wants me to stop asking the question if he wants to cut the
Interview short what are we doing what’s the point of playing Brogden 37 minutes only to get smacked by 20 points anyway brogon was fine 17 and six 12 assists three Steals and a block he’s still a very very serviceable player and while sharp is out you can roster him
But what what are we doing I’m not saying scoots up to cuz he’s not at the moment he’s not he’s not there and we jacked scoot off last game and we don’t need to hold him even though I do think he still has a chance at providing value
At some point scoot had 12 points with three Steals and two threes here but what are we what are we forcing the minutes into brogon for why is Brogden leading the team in minutes you lost by 20 on a developing team why is brogon playing 37 Minutes I I don’t know I don’t know man sometimes these coaches 32 minutes for Jeremy Grant 17 to three this is the Jeremy Grant that I hate to watch cool while thel had a steal absolutely 100% matis thel is not a 12 team must roster player the steals are fine but we know
What they are they are a low volume stat that varies highly and if you rely upon that you can just stink like [ __ ] that’s what happens you do not need to roster matis thall you can if it makes sense for what you’re doing but you absolutely do not have to he played 16
Minutes when sharp comes back he’s not playing more than that or or maybe two three more eighton had 13 and six quick free throw Watcher he took three of him that’s a good good number and Simons had 25 2 and2 with seven triples good game
From him uh not much else going on there I don’t think let’s talk about the Warriors and let’s talk about the big fow on the backto back Brandon psky and by big fell I mean one of the smallest guys on the team 1510 and 7 triple one 58% shooting absolutely must roster
Player what about Trace Jackson Davis well it was a little bit of a drop off for him but honestly in 17 minutes he had 135 and three with a steel on 8 6% his overall line Looks ruined because he shot one or four from the line but if
You added him don’t drop him after this that’s fine the bucket had 11 and six with five assists on kaminga more points than categories but fine and then finally a Kavon Looney Legacy game 611 and 7 in 22 minutes this his best game in a month I feel like clay shot 69 from
The field 28 and3 not much else Steph had 273 and2 61 from the field big red hot shooting nights Clay is on a real hot streak with his shooting at the moment so he has beaten the washed watch allegations I don’t know where they came
From no search me but he is um he’s playing he’s playing he’s not prime clay obviously he’s playing better let’s see where it goes and see if he’s able to maintain it that’s going to be key there while Chris Paul haven’t really spoken about Chris Paul much lately he’s not
Really good at the moment two points 11 assists three steals I am still holding but I don’t know something’s going to give at some point the big takeaway here is psky he’s just he’s just actually really good Warriors fans were crying when they drafted him why did we pass up
Whitmore I wonder how they feel about it now any Warriors fans that it’s a safe space if you had that reaction at the draft how you feeling about the pick now I think you should be pretty happy I would hope you’re pretty happy with it
Let’s do the next one it is the the Battle of Texas that wasn’t much of a battle Dallas with nobody blew out the Spurs 14419 wanyama was ready to go and then sort of sprained his ankle on a bull boy in warm-up shout out to Kevin Durant let’s hope it’s nothing serious
But obviously that means it’s Zack Collins is Back Collins 28 minutes 145 and4 and a Richie Beno 60% shooting the reason that we liked him in the preseason in draft period is that we were told he was going to start it was true he had great fantasy profile it’s
Also true and then he had some struggles and got benched well wmi again who knows what the the rotations of this team are weird I think wmi even if he comes back next game might be limited once more let’s just roll with Collins for now big
Sohan game 239 and4 with 43 and what I find really interesting in this one is they benched Kon Johnson now Johnson was probable heading into this one with a back issue but let’s be fair a probable tag doesn’t mean anything so that’s interesting because in the preseason I
Advocated for Calin Johnson being a bench player and I advocated for them to get him off this team to cash in an asset now because he makes no sense on this squad now he has been much improved from when I said that he has definitely changed parts of his game his last
Couple have been like Prime celd and Johnson like head down Barrel into the lane pay no attention to what’s going on around around you and it was you 16 points and 16 shots here not great but we need to watch where this goes you know me and Calin Johnson and my
Thoughts on him as a player so I will have no hesitation in saying that you can get rid of him for now I’m just going to hold him though 23 minutes is not great but is it because Wy wasn’t there because it was a huge blowout I
Don’t know I will hold Vel continues to I really like Vel as well he’s been well below expectations like bad nine points no rebounds no threes 23% he’s not a drop but I’m going to be honest with you it might end up that way he looks shocking julan champany started in place
Of Calon H I like champany at some point I did call for him to be a starter this season but the fact is they still won’t go to Trey Jones is really intriguing again you know my thoughts on Tre Jones I don’t think he’s a starting caliber
Point guard but this team’s full of non-starting caliber players at some point I think they’re going to have to lean his way cuz bram’s not it champan as much as I like him he’s not it Cal’s not it vel’s not playing like he’s it
Trey is not going to be it but does he get a go on the on the Mero round I don’t know do you ever do you guys call them Mero rounds in uh the US what do you call them carousels that was one of my worst American accents
Ever uh I just yeah I do think there might be a Jones start coming maybe I’m not adding him but maybe Sandro Mama kill v 15 minutes 14 and 5 a block and three cool with Wendi out he’s got nice 14 Team league appeal but yeah this team
Is um we need to turn some Focus to what the hell’s going on with this team they’re bad the Mavericks got back donic and exom you’ve got to add Dante exom you have to 20 and S four assists 32 minutes now it will change when Kyrie
Returns but Jason kid who is of course a lying Legend but he said that Dante Exon was going to remain starting even when the team got healthy rip Derek Jones and Josh Green now starting next to Kyrie and Luca versus starting next to Luca is a very different scenario but exm is
Shooting the lights out 80% shooting here and putting up good numbers top 50 over the last two weeks got to have him got to roster him and then we’ll figure it out later and then your kid gave some cryptic [ __ ] about not knowing timetables on people with Lively and
Irving and these guys we just want them back soon I don’t know who knows uh Timmy Hardway 23 6 and three add him roster him for now Grant Williams had 14 don’t care and Derrick Jones had 11 and four with three threes like Jones is fine but this news about exm starting
Over him again could have a mind change later on you don’t need to do much with it you can hold Jones if you want or we can move on last game for the Mavs it was Dex to Dennis this time it was AJ Lawson that popped up popped off now AJ
Lawson who was on a two-way last season is an unknown player on ESPN shout out to them um also if I’m going to do that though Yahoo doesn’t have my mate demitro scabin nor does fan tracks nor does ESPN so there you go they’re a little bit slow on that uptake as well
But AJ Lawson again played in the NBA last season 17 and S with three threes and two steals good to see both him and Dexter Dennis lab technician himself jumping up with some big games and we do not care Jaden Hardy really had the opportunity here in these two games and
[ __ ] the bed six and six with three steals 22 minutes he can be jacked for eternity get that garbage out of here quite eternity but yeah not feeling uh not feeling the confidence in him at the moment all right uh let’s do the final game of the night the Minnesota Tim
Wolves huge win on the road against the Kings 11098 no towns of course they’re calling his injured knee sess which sounds great let’s hope that that’s all it is um and relatively predictably they started Kyle Anderson 29 minutes 105 and five with a block is that blowing you
Away no but who cares I think it’s a 12 team League option while towns is out only but what I am really interested in is Jaden McDaniels 41 minutes 20 points 3 threes four Steals and a block now before today he was 196th he had some injury issues but he’s also just
Been non-existent across the box score but that’s two good ones in a row I’ve been famously not into him as a 12 team League player he probably isn’t on your wire cuz most people don’t listen to me that’s fine you don’t have to listen to me I just provide opinions you can do
What you want with them but if he was dropped let’s get out ah head let’s see if it is true breakout or not Goose had 34 5 and 10 100% from line tweeted this out yesterday he’s gone part of the reason I was a bit hesitant with him being this first round second
Round player last season was like his percentages are rough and I’m not sure he improves them well he’s improved one of them his free throws are up from 75 to 85 and he was perfect again here 48 from the field still pretty good not as
Good as we want wanted to be overall but it’s better than the 45 for the season just a great game 34 and 10 assists steal in a block awesome Conley had 127 and N with two steals he’s been very very strong this season and we had goit
With 21 and 17 with two blocks but is what is confusing is that we only got 19 Nas Reed minutes now the wizard of NS had been playing really well and then towns went down so a lot of people did think that Reed would start I didn’t so there
You go there’s one that I got right but I also didn’t think that these minutes would go down 62 and two with two steals he’s one of those guys that when he’s hot you use him and when he’s cold you don’t I would hold for now with the town
Situation but that is obviously not great that his minutes dropped down in this situation for the Kings Fox had a little bit of an ankle Twix we’ll see how that comes up 274 and six with two steals while sabonis 17 10 and 10 bad free throws good field goals it’s a
Standard sabonis game and Murray dropped 20 again for the second straight game so good for him 20 and7 in 40 minutes with three threes and three steals nice little run here from Keegan M really putting up some good numbers the p had 12 points in 31 minutes bansy so yeah
Cool we don’t care we also don’t care about fander pens although we should cuz Kevin herder is rosted according to Advanced roster percen metric 53% of 12 team leagues have got Kevin herder in them what’s going on with you guys you all right tough times things not going
So well at work home what are you sub submitting yourself to this [ __ ] for two points in 15 minutes 14% I I couldn’t Jack him hard enough get that gabbage out of here yeah bad get him off what are you doing why are you holding him stop it you’re hurting
Me Chris DTE three points in 18 minutes all right don’t care and Trey L played 27 that a little bit of a surprise this was of course with leaky monk out so herder still couldn’t get it done I am holding Monk and you better be damn sure
I’m not holding Kevin faner pants herder we’re not going to do the whole um lines night or anything like that uh in today’s show again just wanted to make it quick as quick as I could with bloody 13 games on to get out of here but I will just drop
The quick little checklist here for you guys of our actually what I can do is tell you what the lines of the night were the Monstrous was LeBron the waiver wire was elf Stewart The Young Gun of the night was as I try to read through the names
Jabari Smith and your dad of the night was who was it Brook Lopez there you go there’s your awards for the day and now let’s do a little of a quick checklist we’re adding Brandon pky oh that bloody thing comes up behind it oh ignore that I’m getting
Rid of that that’s embarrassing let’s fix it up there you go now there’s the checklist Brandon psky we’re adding Dante exom we are adding Jayden Ivy we are adding D’Angelo Russell we’re sort of dropping four game schedule makes it a little bit iffy but I don’t think he’s
Going to be starting but the four games in the weekend back Tob back’s interesting and then lastly Colin ston again I do think that if you need to drop you can with Clarks and back you don’t have to do it immediately but he’s at least in that drop zone now and that
Will do it for me today I want to wish everybody who celebrates it a very Merry Christmas and any other religious celebrations that are going on at this time of the year I hope you guys cuz I want to butcher the names or the Greetings or anything um of those things
But enjoy your time off from work even if you’re non- denominational not celebrating anything you probably got some time off which is going be always great yeah so enjoy that enjoy the time with the out family and thank you again for being a part of the show all through
This year we’ll do more wanky stuff through New Year don’t worry but it’s been awesome be a double Banger Santa is always a double Banger so you can be a double Banger as well hit the Thumbs Up Hit the um hit the Subscribe hit the comments as well and leave it all down
Below guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone see You

You trying to say carousel in an American accent sounded like saying Caris L as in Caris Levert lol. The carousel would be my shit nickname suggestion lol
Thanks for the Sat show. Merry Christmas
52:03 LOOOOL
Happy holidays josh!
Appreciate the recap Josh! Happy Holidays and cheers!
Cam Thomas still doesn’t have that much NBA experience this is his first opportunity to play without being benched for every mistake. I know his game can be frustrating but he has improved just needs experience and consistency. He won’t be a number one option but I think there is a good player in there and his epm numbers are like the exact same as Austin Reaves
merry go round
It's funny that everyone, Raptors fans, media, fantasy analysts, etc., all know this starting lineup is shit and Schroder has the ball way too much and that we should be giving Barnes the PG duties. Instead we get to see Darko's post game presser about how they can't make changes cause they don't have Steph Curry coming off the bench. Dude is a clown.
Recap on Christmas Eve/Sunday? Here Josh, you dropped this: 👑
Happy Holidays to everyone!
Im trying to fill 3 roster spots for a 14-Team Points League. Who has the best Rest Of Season potential?
Scoot henderson
Duncan Robinson
Deni Avdija
Brandin Podziemski
Trayce jackson Davis
Patrick Williams
Jaden Ivey
Christmas Eve recap show? A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Thanks, Josh! Have a great holiday season!
24:10 so does every raptors fan
Hey Josh, in another video you asked for suggestions about what to do graphics wise for the Stream Zone. I think you should use a schedule grid showing the important teams (eg: remove teams with 2 game weeks or low quality games). For this shot you'd have your head in the corner like on the recap show. This would make things a little more visual for your viewers rather than the current method of the list. You could even use colors to highlight the different games/days of the week. Anyways just my 2 cents. Cheers, love the show, & happy holidays
Merry Christmas Josh!!
should i drop hayward or jalen green for ivey? in a points league
