Dear Dan,

How would you describe the colors mauve and ecru to a color-blind person in 10 words or less (each)? My dog is not responding to the fetch-my-slippers training. Please help!

Hey Dan this poor soul in my league just drop Marcus Morris...lol should I run and grab him due to the injury of Jaylen Brown. Also Marcus Morris is snappin right now.

Also I was wondering what is streaming mean? Though I've been an avid listener for the past 2 years, made it to the finals three times and lost all three times I still don't manage to know what streaming is. Please enlighten me. I believe it's picking up a player that has back-to-back games but in your Excel spreadsheet it had one game that was 2 days after the back to back?

Hey dan
Who would you rather have for the rest of the season

Jarrett Allen or ish or George hill ?

Playoffs start next week in 12 team 9cat H2H league
But I’m likely getting a bye and straight to the semis

Dear Erik -

I have no idea what ecru is. Mauve I would describe as a pleasant autumn afternoon (or every bridesmaid dress you've ever seen). Haha.

Ben - Marcus Morris could move into 12-team territory but he's not a monster add. They'll split touches between Morris, Tatum, Smart, Rozier, etc. In terms of streaming, it's really just about not being attached to the guys at the end of your bench and instead utilizing those roster spaces to get extra games played during playoff weeks. So, for instance, if you had Marcus Morris in a 3-game week ... streaming would be finding a way to get 1-2 games out of Morris and then making a roster move to get 2-3 games out of someone else, and thus increasing your weekly totals through the use of bonus games.

Ahmed - Jarrett Allen, but you also need to weigh your team needs at this time of year. Are you looking to win 5 categories where a big man or little man helps? That's your choice, not necessarily the best player overall.

Hi Dan,

Locked in 1st place for my league. 12 team-9cat-H2H
Playoffs start next week and I'm wondering who you think will produce more...

I currently have Jabari Parker but his minutes are still capped at 25 ish.
Wes Matthews is on the wire and is GTD now. Also, Bjelica is on the wire.
Should I drop Parker for either of these dudes?

Thanks.

Just for the week coming up, first week of playoffs, 9 cat

Please rank these 4 players:

Lamb, Hezonja, Hield, Rozier

hey dan, do you think you can talk about pick ups a day in advance? When I listened to the recent podcasts, you talked about pickups day of, but my pickups reflect the following day so its already too late. I am not sure how other leagues work, but if you talk about pick ups a day in advance, you'd cover all types of leagues.

Thanks!

Also, do you think Corey brewer would be a good stream for Monday/Tuesday if I am in need of some points?

Britsta - Minnesota has 3 games next week and 2 of them are at the very end so that's an option if you can piece them into a streaming puzzle. I don't trust Matthews if he's not going to play, but luckily we'll get a better idea this weekend. Is your league a weekly format?

Jesse - Hezonja (3), Hield (4), Rozier (3), Lamb (3)

Papervase - I try to talk about the 'rest of the week' to a certain degree. I'll try a little harder. And nah, Corey Brewer is probably going to stink most nights with those insane usage guys around him. I'd rather stream a spur.

I never have. I know that's not the fun reply you were hoping for, but I'm just not much for beating the hell out of people sports (football included)

Hey Dan,

You think it is worth holding on to Jarrett Allen? I'm playoff-bound and will need more blocks. I'm disappointed with Allen's recent production. Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Starting the playoffs this on Monday March 12. I have both Rubio and Satoronsky on my team and they both play three games.
Which is the better play right now?

Thanks so much

Abelian - He was never a great shot blocker, but the hope was that if he truly trended up in mins the blocks would trickle in. I'm okay with streaming that spot though I do like Allen more than most centers available for the full ROS time frame.

Jason - Rubio
