Grant Williams is the key X-factor for the Celtics if the Warriors go small

I would say the two people... I mentioned Grant Williams, I think Grant Williams... he's going to be key because the Warriors just force everyone to play small... If he plays well, like he did in the Milwaukee series where he hit eight threes, 93, whatever it was, then, you know, Boston's going to be a problem.

PredictionBasketballMedium
Grant Williams struggled for much of the Finals, averaging only 5.2 points per game and losing minutes as the series progressed.

The Golden State Warriors might be done after losing Game 1 to the Celtics

I actually believe that... the rest, you know, they're done. Yeah. They might be done. I think they might be done when they're done. I think they might be done. I really do think the way they lost this and the fact that the Celtics, like I know that they're their shot-making... what the Celtics can rely on and what they do better than anyone else is, they locked down on defense.

PredictionBasketballHot
The Warriors were far from done; they won the series 4-2, winning three straight games to close it out.

The Warriors are dead

I think right now it's too early to do the thing that we all want to do, which we kind of like, we dipped our toe in earlier and said the warriors are dead. Fuck it. I'm just going to say it after game one, the warriors are dead.

Hot TakeBasketballScorchingSarcastic
The Warriors won the championship, making this peak 'incorrect' in the funniest way possible.

Aaron Rodgers is absolutely miserable to be around

I did have multiple tweets from unbiased people saying that Aaron Rodgers is absolutely miserable to be around because he, he was the least talking above the group. He was surly. He was Aaron Rodgers... Aaron Rodgers is just, he just went for a paycheck, fucking shark.

This is a subjective opinion on personality.

Milwaukee would have won the East and reached the Finals if Khris Middleton was healthy

I think that Milwaukee was the best team this year. If they would have had Middleton, they'd be in final right now.

OpinionBasketballMediumSubjective
While logically sound given the 7-game series, it's ultimately an unprovable hypothetical.

The Warriors will win the NBA Finals in 7 games with an overtime finale

I'm going to [say] warriors in seven in an overtime game seven. Wow.

PredictionBasketballMedium
The Warriors won in 6 games, not 7, and there was no overtime.

The Brooklyn Nets season is a success if they reach the conference finals, it's not championship or bust

If they get to the conference finals and lose to Milwaukee or lose to a Boston, I think that's a great season. I don't think it's championship or bust, even if they have championship goals... when you have a new group together, it's not a one-year championship or bust.

OpinionBasketballMedium
The Nets lost in the Conference Semifinals in 7 games to the Bucks. By Jefferson's own metric, this would likely make the season a disappointment since they didn't reach the ECF.
