Brooks Koepka would have won the PGA Championship by 15 strokes if his knee was healthy

[Brooks Koepka's] knee is hurting him, and he wasn't able to get all the way low to read putts, and the putter is what kind of killed him today and this weekend. So Ipso facto, he probably would have won this tournament by 15 strokes if his knee was okay.

Hot TakeGolfFireSarcastic
Koepka finished tied for second, two strokes behind Mickelson. There is no way to verify he would have won by 15 strokes.

The Celtics vs. Nets series is basically over after Game 1

Obviously, the Celtics lost. That first half, though. They had a great first half. They had a chance. Kemba Walker played terribly in the second half, and the series is basically over. Sweep. Maybe gentlemen's sweep.

The Nets won the series 4-1, which is a 'Gentlemen's Sweep.'

The Heat vs. Bucks first-round series is going seven games

The Heat, Bucks, I think that's going seven. Giannis Cantu Fritos. Yeah. Well, not in 10 seconds.

The Bucks swept the Heat 4-0.

Ben Simmons is the greatest basketball player who cannot score of all time

He went six points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists. He might be the greatest basketball player who cannot score of all time. He's broken the game. He can't score. You would think that it would be impossible for a guy that is bad at shooting to be an elite basketball player. But he's somehow figured out a way to be insanely good at basketball while also not scoring points.

While subjective, Simmons' refusal to score in the Hawks series later that year solidified this reputation.

The Lakers money line in Game 2 against the Suns is the lock of my lifetime

I responsibly, 1-800-GAMBLER, if you have a problem, I think the Lakers game two is the lock of my lifetime. I think LeBron will answer. And AD, like we said, he forgets that he's a seven-footer. He thinks he's a mouse. He's an elephant. The Lakers will be fine in this series, and LeBron will start dominating, and it will all be for naught.

The Lakers won Game 2 (109-102), making this specific lock correct.

The Suns will win their first-round series against the Lakers

I disagree with you. I think the Suns are going to win. I think they're going to win the series. I've just been down this path too many times. It's just too many times for LeBron to give up game one and to be like, oh, there it is.

The Suns won the series 4-2.

The Knicks will win their first-round series against the Hawks

I do think the Knicks are going to win this series. I do think they'll make adjustments. And I love that the Mecca leads the league in dudes rocking jerseys with nothing underneath. It's fucking awesome.

The Hawks defeated the Knicks 4-1.

John Tavares will be out for the remainder of the NHL playoffs

And also that John Tavares got hurt and is probably out. Do you think he's out for the playoffs? I would assume. I don't know.

Tavares did not return for the remainder of the 2021 playoffs.

The 2021 Stanley Cup Final will be the Colorado Avalanche vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning

Colorado and Tampa in the finals. So Tampa will be going for it back to back. I would say Colorado, Tampa, and that would be good for hockey. Two Southern markets in the United States thriving.

Tampa Bay made the final (and won), but Colorado was eliminated in the second round by Vegas.

Colorado is a Southern team because it is south of the Canadian border

Based on the North American scale, Colorado is considered Southern. No, he's saying in the middle of the country, not North America. You're saying North America? I meant all the teams in play, they're one of the southern teams. Anything south of the Canadian border is southern.

Geographically within the US, Colorado is not the South. It is clearly a subjective/humorous interpretation.
