Ryen Russillo, NBA Playoffs, Fyre Fest And Top 5 Coaches That Could Be Number 1

Ben Simmons is ready to return for the Nets and just needs to pass the ball and play defense

I think I nailed this one. Cause Ben Simmons is coming back per Shams. They've just kept him on ice... Ben Simmons is ready to come back and yeah, he doesn't really have to do anything. All he has to do is be out on the court on defense and then just pass the ball on offense. That's it.

Ben Simmons returning to the Nets lineup is actually better for the Celtics

This could be old takes exposed, but I think [Ben Simmons returning] is better for the Celtics... if they're not on the same page and like the third or fourth quarter, like you can't... it'll be really [weird].

The Jazz-Mavericks first-round series will be boring and terrible

I've got a series that will suck. I'm ready to predict right now, a series that I care about the least: Jazz-Mavericks. That series is going to suck... especially if Luka is not going to be a hundred percent. That's the only reason why you would watch that series with any sort of interest. If you're outside of Utah or outside of Dallas, it's going to be boring.

Perfect games are the rarest achievement in sports and Clayton Kershaw should have been allowed to finish his

Perfect games are probably the rarest thing in sports... like no hitters are nothing. I don't care about no hitters anymore... anyone else has a perfect game, I'm glued in. I want to be watching. That's cool. 23 over in the history of baseball. Some guys make their whole career off it. Oh, it's amazing.

Philadelphia is the number one sports town in America

Philadelphia might be my number one sports town. It's like the rules surrounding Harambe's cage: Do not approach. Do not try to pet. If you do, bad things will happen. So you should know that the second you enter the Philadelphia city limits.

The gap between regular season NBA teams and playoff teams has never been wider

The regular season can be very misleading. And I've been kind of on this for the last couple of years where I feel like there's never been more of a separation between what playoff teams look like and regular season teams look like.

Jayson Tatum is now capable of going punch-for-punch with Kevin Durant

Tatum has added that part to his game and can still go off for 40 in a playoff game. So you're right to expect the Tatum maybe hangs punch-for-punch with Durant. I think he's still a sliver below Durant, but that's not saying much to say you're just behind who I think is still the best offensive option in the NBA.

James Harden is a quitter whose personality can't be trusted when playoff situations get tense

I have a problem with anyone who's a professional athlete who is okay deciding that they're just not going to be competitive twice in a year because they don't like their situation... if you're okay sucking on purpose and having it happen that many times in a very short span, then why would I bet on your personality when everything's tense and it matters.

Chris Paul will get injured sometime in the middle of the second round of the playoffs

Have you decided what your spin zone is going to be when Chris Paul gets injured somewhere in the middle of the second round this year? ... Emergency podcasts [when the injury happens].

The NBA Finals will be a Suns-Bucks rematch with Phoenix winning the title

Phoenix, Milwaukee. I think it's a rematch. Phoenix wins.

Ty Lue is the Bill Belichick of the NBA

I'll take Ty Lue... someone called Ty Lue the Belichick of the NBA last night.

Steve Nash is a great coach who does a good job handling massive amounts of locker room bullshit

I actually think Steve Nash does a great job because holy fuck. Does he have to deal with a lot? ... Having the disposition that this guy had the last two years dealing with all the bullshit that he dealt with. I don't want to fucking hear it [that he can't coach]. It's actually incredible.

John Sterling's botched home run calls are so bad he should consider retiring

Stanton hit a bomb, but not deep enough... 'high, far, gone, but caught' is what the call was. Hilarious. Like just a funny clip on the other end. Yankee fans... not exactly the clip you would put on a hypothetical resume. Right? Some people saying he needs to hang them up... His eyes are shot.
