Matt Stroup

Big morning. Just realized that someone finally put the Dikembe Mutombo helium balloon interview w/Conan O'Brien online. Action gets good around the 6:35 mark. cc @langwhitaker youtu.be/rRmMIytjZNw?t=…

@JohnGonzalez @TheSylverFox @SarahKezele @TMOluvsSports @anderskelto Thanks Sean — much appreciated!

@TheSylverFox @SarahKezele @TMOluvsSports @MattStroup @anderskelto Thanks for listening. Fun while it lasted

Shout to @SarahKezele @TMOluvsSports @MattStroup @JohnGonzalez @anderskelto and the team behind The Lead and Starting Five. As an early riser, Starting Five was a go-to and The Lead was DAMN good. They will be missed.

@BearDownRich Didn’t see this in time… hope the decision worked out

@MattStroup Which 5 for Points league Keeperz? Mathurin, Chet, BIngram, Giddey, Ayton or JJJ? Appreciate foresight!

@matchwinningst2 Just seeing this now but some great picks in there. Maxey and Tillman looking real good based on where you drafted them

@matchwinningst2 At the moment I’m actually not doing any fantasy podcasts or writing … I host/produce a couple of sports podcasts for Wondery

@matchwinningst2 Not sure if that is happening or not. I’m not in the mix at Rotoworld right now (since early last season actually). So I don’t know if they are planning anything like that this year.

Previewed the Warriors-Kings I-80 showdown w/ @anthonyVslater on today’s ep of The Lead. Wiggins’s impact, Mike Brown’s primary reason for popping Alka-Seltzer + more: 🎧 spoti.fi/3KDjK99 🎧 apple.co/3GMe4Zk @WonderyMedia

@matchwinningst2 Oh man. Jokic sitting crushed me in multiple leagues too. Just brutal

@matchwinningst2 Missed these questions down the stretch… hope the moves worked out!

@matchwinningst2 Neither guy is gonna get real good all around stats. Nembhard at least can help in assists so I lean toward him if those are your two best options.

@Droc008 I’d look at Thybulle and Hayes probably. Hayes a bigger risk in terms of FG, but both guys have a chance for a big steals game.

@MattStroup Down 6-3 but not out . I need FG/ Stl or 3's. Realistic view FG & STL to get 5-4 to get yo th Finals. WW are K. Hayes/ T. Watford/ M. Thybulle/ G. Allen & M. Branham

@matchwinningst2 Didn’t see this one in time. Hope it worked out. Okogie looking like the most consistent bet out of that group, but he’s not shooting it well right now

@MattMonagan @WonderyMedia Let’s just plan on doing it annually at this point. I’ve tentatively blocked out a spot on my calendar thru age 60

Had a great time chatting with @MattStroup to tell the story of the legendary Dae Sung Koo for @WonderyMedia’s The Lead podcast. Check it out here. Hopefully we do another pod next year when Koo pitches at 54 years old open.spotify.com/episode/6unTy8…

@tonyjewels @docktora @mallaroface Have had some talks with @docktora about this. We will sit down over a 12 pack of beer and see if we can talk ourselves into it. All I can say is, it’s not out of the question

@MattStroup @docktora @mallaroface I know it’s not simple to do but no chance you 2 can do a 30 min weekly podcast?

@docktora @MattStroup I miss the squad on the Rotoworld podcast!! You had so many good ones…Cedi Pills, sherseys, etc. Who would you rather have for rest of season in 9 cat? Drop 1. Jordan Clarkson, Branham, Sochan.

@mallaroface @docktora Thanks for asking. I produce and sometimes host a couple of sports podcasts: The Lead and The Lead: Starting Five for Wondery. Not fantasy-related, but sports news/storytelling. Check them out if you’re into that sort of thing!

@MattStroup @docktora Matt - I see you are at Wondery now. Working on any pods where we can help to subscribe and support?

@matchwinningst2 I didn’t see this in time… hope this one worked out

@docktora @mallaroface Just now seeing this but thanks for the kind words. I need to get my Cedi pills prescription refilled

@mallaroface @MattStroup So tough but i guess it's sochan at this point. I miss the pod scene as well

@matchwinningst2 All three of your guys are worth rostering, but Williams is too. If you really need blocks, I’d consider dropping Olynyk. Could in theory drop Murphy if you are set in 3s. I’d hang onto Avdija. Real tough call, but I’d be trying to get Williams on the roster for his upside.

@Colin_707_ I missed this until just now. May not still be helpful but I definitely would rather roster Melton. Hope the decision worked out.

@MattStroup Getting Cameron Johnson back. I have to drop either Naji Marshall or De'Anthony Melton. Which do I drop?

@matchwinningst2 Just now seeing this. I’m holding onto Olynyk for now to see how his minutes/numbers ramp up in the next few games.

@meghanmclaren05 @SarahKezele @WonderyMedia Nice find! 🧐

@SarahKezele @WonderyMedia @MattStroup A day late but! J Cole signed with a team in the Canadian Elite Basketball League 🙂 cebl.ca/j-cole-signs-w… Love the show, love you guys!
