View episodeThe 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.
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.

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...

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.
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.
