The betting line for Bucks-Celtics Game 2 was a 'total trap'

I actually like looked at the line beforehand and I was smart enough to be like the [Bucks] is a total trap. Do not bet the [Bucks]... I knew right away, I was like, that's pretty much the same line as Sunday after the [Bucks] beat them pretty soundly. That makes no sense.

Nike ruined NBA jerseys because every team has too many versions

Nike ruined NBA jerseys. Cause there's like, every team has 15 jerseys and they all wear like these weird jerseys. We talked about this last year. Remember when the [Heat] were just wearing the Pacers jerseys, they just ruined it. They, each team should have at most four jerseys.

The NBA should introduce a 'Flagrant 3' where the victim's team gets to pick a player on the other team to be kicked out

That should be a Flagrant 3. And if there's a Flagrant 3, here's the rule. The other team, they get to pick which one of your guys is kicked out of the game. Or you could take that player's dad. So Gary Payton comes back and plays for your team the next round.

Ja Morant hovers in the air and time moves slower when he's around the basket

Ja Morant, I like, he just hovers. I don't understand it. He doesn't, he jumps up and he just doesn't come down. He does like six moves in the air. Time moves slower when he's in there. It's almost like they've already planned out the four things they're going to do in the air before they actually put the ball up.

LeBron James is living the college sorority life he never got on social media

I love LeBron James on social media, man. He's basically living the college sorority life that he never got to because he went straight to the NBA. Between his emoji game and then the egregious amount of Instagram stories that he puts up. This guy is no different than like a 22-year-old.

I'm 79% of the way back to declaring the Capitals are going to win the Cup again

I'm having a hard time believing in these Caps as of eight hours ago. Right now I'm almost fully back. I'm like 79% of the way back to declaring that these Caps are different. That these Caps—it's our year again.

Losing a triple-overtime game at home is the worst feeling in sports

There's no worse feeling than having committing six hours of your time into a hockey game and coming away with absolutely nothing. It sucks the soul right out of you. And it was against the backup goalie too.

It's impossible to tell if Hue Jackson was intentionally throwing games or just being Hue Jackson

The NFL just conducted an investigation to Hue Jackson's claims that he was paid to throw games and they concluded that. No, it's literally impossible to tell whether or not Hue Jackson was intentionally losing games or if he was just being Hue Jackson, since there's such a big body of work behind them to establish the fact that this is what Hue Jackson does.

NBA players who get hit in the nuts should get a free shot to kick the offender back

If you get a flagrant one, you should get to kick the guy in the balls back in center court. How awesome would that be for fans? Tonight, I might see a guy just get smoked in the nuts.

High taxes in Minnesota and Canada prevent their NHL teams from landing top free agents

My cool throne is Minnesota and Canada. The reason why they can't land good free agents to make their hockey teams good is because of taxes.

The Florida Panthers are the deepest team in the NHL with four 'unreal' lines

Florida Panthers who [have] four unreal lines of authentic driving forwards, a great backend... they just got Aaron Ekblad back... they also have that one-two punch [in goal]... they have been a wagon all year. I have a lot of trust on them.

Cale Makar is the next Paul Coffey and the best defenseman in the world

Cale Makar is easily the next Paul Coffey. We hadn't seen a defenseman who's able to drive traffic like him. He's essentially stepped in as the Connor McDavid of the back end. He's probably going to score 30 goals as a defenseman. He is just a freak of nature.

The St. Louis Blues are a dark horse to win the West after adding Nick Leddy

Let's go St. Louis out of the west... they got Leddy, which not a huge name, but it just filled a hole. And ever since then, they've just been on this massive roll... they were winning 80% of their games, if not more.

The NHL should use a 1-8 seeding draft where the top seeds pick their opponents

I would be okay if they ended up switching the patterns up. It would be the first seed selecting, starting with the first team, they would pick their opponent and then all the way through. I definitely think they should go back one through eight... and then reseed after the first round.

This season is the 'Last Dance' for the Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang trio in Pittsburgh

I think this is the last dance... this'll be the group's last time together. They're, you know how they had the one for about this is their, they got that trio. I just don't know with the cap, if they're going to be able to afford all three of them, cause Letang and Malkin are up for contracts.

Every professional sport should have an Emergency Backup Player (EBUG) rule like hockey

I feel like every sport should have this [EBUG situation]... For, for football would be the kicker... I'd love to see a random dude out on a basketball court. Just like get blown by and like not, not even be able to dribble... Usually once a year, a guy, a regular Joe off the street gets addressed in NHL game.
