Ryen RussilloThe Denver Nuggets will win the NBA title this year
I'm picking the Denver Nuggets. There's no reason to pick against OKC... [Chet Holmgren] will be better... they're just going to be better... I just wanted—I picked him last year, I wanted to do something a little different this year. So I'm picking the Denver Nuggets.

Big CatGeorge Springer is the most clutch postseason hitter of the last 15 years
George Springer does it again. Maybe the most clutch postseason hitter of the last, what, 15 years? Third all-time in postseason home runs now, which is pretty crazy.
MaxThe Blue Jays have no shot at beating the Dodgers in the World Series
I think [the Blue Jays] got no shot... I just don't think they have the—the Dodgers are too good. They don't have the pitching. [Kevin] Gausman would be [the Dodgers'] fifth starter.

The Lions defense was, they were, they was getting after [Baker Mayfield]... Hutchinson was getting after him and hitting him. I feel like the Lions are officially back, back, back.

View profileRyen RussilloThe Indiana Pacers won the trade deadline by adding Ivica Zubac while maintaining a path to a top-four pick
I look at the Pacers, you know, like you add a top five center in [Zubac]... you clean up some of your cap stuff, you bring in a top center who's gonna make you a little different... and then you have a chance at the top four pick here... I like what they did because they were doing something long-term while also making sure that they're tanking.
Ryen RussilloThe Milwaukee Bucks should not play Giannis Antetokounmpo for the rest of the season
I don't even think Milwaukee would want Giannis to come back and play... They should want to do whatever they can with this pick 'cause they don't have many of 'em. And Giannis probably shouldn't even wanna play and risk health and risk this contract extension that he can get before next fall. So the tanking is gonna get egregious.
Ryen RussilloThe Clippers made a smart pivot trading James Harden for Darius Garland
I like what the Clippers did... I don't think Darius Garland is this bad. He's a two-time all star. He's 26 years old... when he was right, he was terrific. And Harden... fourth trade request in six years. So the Clippers very quickly on the fly... you'll look at the Garland thing and go, man, they were able to land a player like that for Harden.
