Secret Stuff Fantasy Basketball

Hoyle and DCott (Matt and Dan) are back for Season 3! For the first episode of the season we're grading the drafts of each of the 12 teams in The Baseline, the greatest fantasy league on the planet.

This is a "one for us" type of show, 90 minutes of bashing McCoy, hashing out picks, building up our boy Troy and justifying the Ja pick in Round 6. This one if for you guys.

After a week off for Thanksgiving Hoyle and DCott return to discuss everything they missed, the KAT Injury, an argument about Pat Bev, GTD MVP's, the IL+ and DCott asks the Champ's advice on who he should drop. 

Hoyle and DCott go 20 picks deep redrafting the 2017 class all in the name of giving OG some love and through the lens of their fantasy basketball careers thus far, how they look this season and where the boys believe they will go in the future. 

This week DCott and Matt do their own version of the #3MonthRule TikTok and decide whether to commit long term after 3-4 weeks of fantasy results or jump ship on 6 players each. A new Carmen Sandiego themed Boucher Update, Baseline trash talk and a conversation about Kyrie Irving. 

In Episode 5 Hoyle and DCott have a discussion about Kyrie, talk surprises and disappointments early in the year, DCott coins a new insult, calls out Chris Russo and then the boys have their first therapy session over Matty's WatchList.
