The Boston Celtics are dead

The Boston Celtics are dead.

The Celtics were far from dead; they won Game 3 and took a 2-1 lead before eventually losing the series 4-2.

The Celtics are the better team and will win the series if they execute

If [the Celtics] just have to execute and play their game, they're going to win the series. But I'm just worried... it feels like they are the better team similar to honestly the Heat series where it's like, they're the better team. So it almost makes it worse when games are close and they lose games.

The Celtics lost the series 4-2 to the Warriors, who proved to be the better, more experienced team.

Game 3 is a must-win for the Celtics

I feel like the Celtics have to win this game [Game 3]. If they lose this game, I think they're done.

The Celtics did win Game 3 but lost the series. His prediction that they would be 'done' if they lost was never tested because they won.

The NBA clearly has an agenda to extend the Finals series

The NBA clearly has an agenda, like factor fiction. And the NBA would like this series to go more games than four... having the Warriors win tonight guarantees it goes more than four.

The series did go 6 games, which is the outcome the 'agenda' would have desired.

The Waterdogs are a disgrace and the worst team in the PLL

PLL Waterdogs. Fucking suck. That team is disgrace... Real quick reminder, Waterdogs are the worst team. When you think it can't go any lower wait until you see the Waterdogs.

The Waterdogs actually improved significantly after this slow start and went on to win the PLL Championship in 2022.

Bronny James is already the #1 prospect on my draft board

Bronny [James], I see him. He's going to be an NBA superstar... We have a draft board and he's already number one.

Bronny James was not an NBA superstar upon entering the league; he was a late second-round pick (55th overall) in the 2024 NBA Draft and initially struggled in Summer League and limited minutes.

Professional darts is a better spectator sport than Lacrosse

[Darts] might be ahead of lacrosse as the sport of the future. ... I don't think there's any event that's happened that this usher has seen 54 people come in at one time... It exceeded my expectations. Like it was, it was a great time. It was a good viewing experience.

This is a subjective lifestyle/sports take. Darts has a massive following in Europe but remains niche in the US compared to growing sports like Lacrosse.

Calling Steve Kerr overrated is the craziest take possible

It seems like there might be some, a group of people that think Steve Kerr's overrated, which is maybe the craziest take. That's one of those ones where it's like, we've all just we've exhausted every avenue of debate that we're now talking about Steve Kerr, who has, I think he has eight, eight rings total.

Steve Kerr won his 4th title as a coach (9th overall) later that month, further cementing his resume.

The New York Rangers are playing unsustainable hockey and got lucky against Pittsburgh

Rangers fans were losing it because I was like, yes, this team has had success all year, but fuck, do they give up a lot of high, dangerous scoring chances and rely on their goaltending. I think that they're going to get worked in playoffs... believe me when I say they got so lucky that Jarry got hurt and they had to play a three third string goalie, they got [worked].

The Rangers' luck did run out in the Conference Finals as they lost to Tampa Bay in 6 games shortly after this episode.

Cale Makar is as good as Paul Coffey and approaching Bobby Orr status

[Makar] is the greatest defenseman we've seen since Paul Coffey's probably as good as Paul Coffey. If he keeps going on this trajectory easily, right. Maybe right below Bobby Orr could eventually become like a Bobby Orr type. He is a freak. He's a Connor McDavid of defense.

Makar won the Conn Smythe and the Norris Trophy that season, justifying the historical comparisons.

The Avalanche will easily advance to the Stanley Cup Finals

Yeah, I would say the Colorado is going to easily advance... [Edmonton is] basically kind of without [Draisaitl]. And also now Kane just got a one game suspension... I think they're going to Colorado is going to advance.

The Avalanche swept the Oilers 4-0 to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Nadal winning mostly on clay makes him a Mickey Mouse champion

It's Mickey Mouse to have to only win on one surface. Well, I think he also won the Australian, right? ... 14 of his 22 are at Roland Garros.

While Nadal is dominant on clay, he has won multiple Slams on grass and hard courts, making the 'only win on one surface' claim factually incorrect.

The world will end before Dan Snyder sells the Commanders

The fucking world ends before Dan Snyder sells the team. I'm going to, I'm going to take myself out back here.

Dan Snyder sold the team to Josh Harris in July 2023, while the world has not yet ended.
