Hello, everybody and welcome to fantasy NBA today, a sports ethos presentation brought to you by our great partners at Vandal.

My name's Aaron Bruske, and with me is the great Steve, Dr. A. Alexander, and on this episode, we're going to recap last night's NBA Cup action.

And as usual, we'll start the show with the check-in on Dr. A's

My Guys, as well as my Bruske 150 players of the night. And then we'll hit the top ads and then we'll go to the drop zone. And then we'll also bring in Doc. Doc, how you doing? I'm good. I'm good. I'm a little bit mad at this in-season tournament thing for ruining what could have been a great week of NBA basketball.

But just two games a night thing, I'm just not here for it. tournament thing for ruining what could have been a great week of NBA basketball.

But this two games a night thing, I'm just not here for it.

I need my 10 games.

I need my 12.

I need my seven.

The two game thing is just kind of, it kind of takes away from it.

I go to set my lineup.

I got like one guy playing for all my teams.

Okay.

Like any great front running team, I find this week to be amazing.

I take some time off mentally.

I take my energy level and I bring it down to a simmer.

You regroup.

I do the least amount of work possible to get the win. No. Kind of, maybe. I don't know. But it is a nice little break. You do, it's funny, there's only so many games you can watch in a day and so much information you could take in in a day. And it's kind of just what, how much do you want to take in from which place? and it's just, it's a big hurricane. Being a fantasy basketball hoopshead is a big, big, big hurricane. And I love it. And, but I will take the break every time I can get it. But it's been good one way or another. I do miss the games. I think when we get to next week, they've got to load them up next week. I haven't looked at the schedule next week, but I imagine there's like two 12 game nights and a 13 game night in there somewhere. And then we'll complain about too many games. But hello, everybody. Welcome to all of our new listeners. If you're new to Sports Ethos, head out over to sportsethos.com and check out our memberships.

We've got B150 projections that I use for the high stakes leagues that I participated year after year.

I work on all those throughout the summer, tossing in a bunch of hours there, and work on them throughout the year.

And we put them into all of the tools that are available in those memberships so you guys can win your leagues and all the articles that you read over there.

They definitely go above and beyond anything you will find on social media or YouTube.
