    Show USE to be so good, now unsubscribing
    I went from 5 stars and this review “Love these guys - multiple analysts who bring great perspective every episode!!” to unsubscribe Way to ruin a good thing RotoWorld, or whatever your name is now…
  • Time pass by
    Big drop off since the mass firings
    Not much for actionable insights, not much for entertainment value.
  • LynchM20
    Thanks for the update
    Keep us informed. I need your'alls help, so hurry back.
  • Hullywood
    Say It Ain’t So!
    I’m going to miss Roundball Stew. This was my #1 go-to fantasy basketball pod. Matt Stroup was a great host with an outstanding supporting cast. Awesome pod. Time to follow them on Twitter and hope for a new pod in the future. I will continually add and drop Chris “Bosh” Boucher and De’Anthony Melton in their memory. And it’s finally Poku SZN!!!
  • Buzzy Buzzard
    Love these guys
    Can anyone tell me what happened this week over there with the layoffs? These guys are awesome, loved listening to their tips, banter and love of fantasy basketball. Hoping they land where I can listen again!
  • Snouchy
    No NFTs
    Nope. Not never. No NFTs. Lame.
  • Not Regular Guy
    Useful But Tries to be Funny
    Useful for finding waiver wire pickups. However, I find the attempts at witty banter to be annoying. I think Matt and Steve are funny to each other but not to an audience. It’s hard to take advice from Steve seriously because he always tries to be funny. He’s not.
  • 7775426
    Love the show
    Great show definitely helps find sleepers Just wish there was a little more points league talk
  • Redfeather37
    Please
    Pod is fine info wise and Raph is especially good. Please someone help Ryan pronounce player names! It’s shameful at this point. Look no further than Wizard conversations to understand.
  • D0ZE1
    Favorite fantasy hoops show BY FAR!!!
    but ... Isn’t “chronological” the default when you say “Reverse Lightning Round”? 😁✌️ Other candidates - pronunciation? alphabetical? power ranking? ... seem awkward @ best. Should just go ahead and drop the “chronological” imo. Just a friendly suggestion Anyways keep up the great work and get Brewski on more!! And oh yeah, go get a beer with that dude already ...
  • Werthy Adventures
    Best Fantasy Basketball Podcast
    Matt and Steve are an incredible team! Great info as always!! Matt and Steve make this a great listen that I often LOL while driving. Thank you so much
  • kpabcd12345
    A must listen
    Great for anyone who wants to consistent updates on fantasy hoops. Hosts are awesome, will continue to listen for years!!
  • JoeMac7345
    Still looking for a fantasy b-ball show
    Hoping to find a worthwhile fantasy basketball podcast. This ain’t it. No offense guys but no one cares about your ringtones!
  • not upset, just dissapointed
    Holy Bad
    In a time when we lack content and people are starved for analysis on the upcoming NBA season resume I would have expected at least some type of insightfulness from the Roto team... What a colossal disappointment. You don’t know the structure, you don’t understand the storylines for the teams, but most importantly, “Kyle Kuzma Is going to play a major role, I think he’s a pretty good defender”- WHAT? Have you watched him? Have you looked at his stats? Are you part of the highlight generation who the only hoops you watch are on Snapchat? I’m so confused, and disappointed. Happy to takeover the podcast and provide the listeners actual analysis if Roto is interested in reaching out.
  • Bug B. Plenty
    Best fantasy NBA podcast
    Mike is the best and all the other guests are great as well. I can’t believe we get this stuff for free...Mike is always giving away gems and is an actual smart person talking about fantasy hoops. I remember killing it in fantasy every year, before yahoo sports started using Rotoworld. I don’t really get these reviews that give less than 5 stars. I’ve listened to all the other fantasy b-ball podcasts and they were all so bad compared to this one. One of them was rated 5 stars so I decided to check it out and they were talking about fake news 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
  • Pauly Paul21
    Semi okay
    The pod is okay. The flaw in my opinion is Mike Gallagher. He consistently over talks whomever is the other guest host and always downgrades other people players and picks in mock drafts. It will also help when you guys do the notes for yahoo that you leave your “expert” opinions out of it and just stick to the facts. EVERYBODY can read the notes and it hurts when you are trying to trade a particular player. Also effects adds and drops.
  • FantasyGod1125
    It’s okay
    These guys haven’t figured it out yet. But they’re solid listening. Brainstorming segment names on the fly and other amateurish stuff like that. One recommendation when predicting a guys future draft stock for next year, you should compare him to someone else I.e kyrie Irving. For example “who would you rather have kyrie Irving or Devin booker next year”? And so on. This is much more valuable for listeners then just assigning round value next year. You guys are alright. N.
  • bopefas
    Good stuff
    Good Info and entertaining.5 stars
  • Deeeeeeeetroit
    Great pod
    The drummer guy is nice but he’s really not helping much here.
  • B Shade
    Pretty good information
    I appreciate this podcast but the guest Brian Rosen(something) is god awful at analysis. He showed no interest in learning names and says very basic analysis that anyone with an ounce of knowledge on basketball could say. He also doesn’t not seem to have much knowledge on how talking in a mic or phone works. Just find someone else to talk or keep it to the normal two because that guy is a waste of my time
  • Coachzilly
    Get these Guys!
    Great Facts, Info, No Fluff, All Stuff!
  • Oakley Fight Club
    Great Podcast
    Love the podcast & keep up the great work. Always smash like, rate, review & subscribe.
  • Nicholas Bono
    too infrequent
    i know this is selfish but i just want more pods a week
  • Monty Hall
    Dope podcast
    Because of you guys talking up players like SGA, Tyler Herro and PJ Wash, I’m looking like a problem for my home league. Keep bringing the heat, guys.

    Good Stuff, Rough Quality
    The sound quality needs a bit of work sometimes, but the advice is great. Love the show overall
  • Cozie123
    What not to like
    Guys talking fantasy hoops. Sign me up!
  • Trying2BNice
    used to be the best
    i started listening back in 2015 and i have witnessed mike gallagher single handedly build this podcast up to be probably the best free nba fantasy pod available. Mike is a REAL nba expert. he knows coaches tendancies, probable future lineup rotations. who starts but also who finishes games. he watches and listens to coaches/players interviews. Mike actually watches the games! hes not always 100% correct, but hes pretty darn close. he’s great, and he will help u become a better fantasy player. plus hes funny. unfortunately he only hosts 1-2 eps per week now. the other hosts/guests, well... they’re okay. some are better than others, but its obvious they’re basically regurgitating last nights box scores and guessing on what they think might happen in the future based on, well, pretty much nothing else. If mike is hosting, its a 5star pod...easily the best! if hes not...easy fade!
  • Mallaro
    My “go to” fantasy basketball pod
    Deep cuts of knowledge from these guys and heavy passion.
  • mek-assem
    Get closer to the mic, Mike!
    The guest’s voice is always louder and clearer than Mike
  • JeremyAugust
    Great pod but...
    I love the fantasy insight and analysis, but please please please improve the audio. It sounds like Mike G is talking into a tin can connected to string.
  • G Bust
    Mike...
    Been incredible for almost three years... the Burner account episode put this over the top.. you can talk fantasy/not involve true NBA rule world.. hard to keep up trying to go into code the whole way... just be true to FANTASY game! With that being said... truly truly appreciate the FANTASY insight.
  • Ogtown
    Get out of your garage!!!

    Great website, Okay Pod
    Podcast can be dry at times but Mike is very knowledgable. Think I would enjoy it more if they do more season league but overall still decent
