The Warriors will not win their series against the Timberwolves without Steph Curry

The Warriors just couldn't, they didn't have enough offense. And, and the wolves, like even with Anthony Edwards... I'll just say it. The Warriors will not win this series without Steph.

The outcome depends on Curry's availability for the remainder of the series.

Steph Curry will try to return to the playoffs sooner than he should

I think that Steph is actually gonna come back sooner that we think that he is. I wouldn't be shocked if he tried to play in their next game because he knows... this feels like the last dance type thing that we're trying to do right now. I think he's gonna try to come back maybe too soon.

Depends on when Curry actually returns to the lineup.

The Dallas Stars are going to win the Stanley Cup

The Stars took the first game of the series on the road and it feels like the stars are gonna win the cup. I don't know, maybe that's the stupid thing to say, but it feels like they're really fucking good.

Depends on the NHL playoff outcome.

Never trade for a wide receiver from Mike Tomlin

Never trade for wide receiver from Mike Tomlin because Mike Tomlin is trading his wide receiver for a reason. And that means that Mike Tomlin is done with his wide receiver and he doesn't want him anymore. And you can go back. Deontay Johnson, chase Claypool, Antonio Brown... Mike Tomlin when he's like, I'm done with the, with, with, with the wide receiver. That's, it's over, it's damaged goods.

The performance of George Pickens in Dallas will test this.

George Pickens will go insane if CeeDee Lamb dominates the targets

If CD Lamb starts getting the lion's share of the targets and Pickens isn't involved in the game plan, he is going to blow his head off. He is gonna go fucking insane even by George Pickens standards because he always wants the ball... even when he is getting the ball a decent amount, he still flips out.

Depends on Pickens' behavior and target share in Dallas.

Aaron Rodgers will sign with the Steelers on May 15th

They're waiting. Aaron Rogers is a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers... he's just waiting for the schedule to come out. Then he will sign with the Steelers and make it official... I think we're gonna get Aaron Rogers on the Steelers on May 15th.

Did Aaron Rodgers sign with the Steelers on May 15, 2025? No, he is on the Jets.

The Celtics will still win their series against the Knicks easily

I do think the Celtics are gonna win this series easily... 4-2 is pretty easy. When you're looking back on the history books, 4-2 is pretty easy. That's easily.

The Celtics won the 2024 series 4-1 against the Cavs in the second round, but this refers to a fictional or specific 2025 Knicks/Celtics matchup. Based on current world knowledge, the Celtics swept the Pacers and beat the Mavs in 2024; in 2025, we wait for the outcome.

Nikola Jokic is the worst three-time MVP in the last 40 years

If he wins the next one, he'll be the worst three time MVP in the last 40 years. Right. Because it was like... those five were in that timeframe as Magic, Bird, Jordan, LeBron, and Jokic at that time. He's gonna rank fifth.

Luka Doncic will be the MVP next year if he loses 30 pounds

If Luka can get down to about 230, 225, I I, I really believe he's gonna be MVP next year.

Depends on Luka's 2025-2026 performance and conditioning.

Jayson Tatum has officially replaced Joel Embiid as the worst playoff superstar in the Eastern Conference

I guess that a super embarrassing that Jason Tatum has now taken the crown of the worst playoff performer in the Eastern Conference... Joel Embiid for a long time was known as the worst Eastern Conference superstar to play in the playoffs. And Jason Tatum simply has worst playoff stats than Joel Embiid. And that's a fact.
