The Timberwolves will win Game 3 at home against the Grizzlies

I will go out on a limb and say Minnesota holds court in Game 3. This team has a big chip on its shoulder. They've had a big personality transplant... credit to Pat Bev for changing the vibes.

The Timberwolves famously blew a 26-point lead and lost Game 3.

Patrick Beverley is at his best when he is angry and disrespected, rather than happy and praised

Patrick Beverley needs to get more pissed off. I think he's too happy... he's been respected too much recently. Patrick Beverley needs to get angry again. He's too happy. I think people have respected Patrick Beverley a little bit too much the last week... he's at his best when he's got a chip on his shoulder.

Subjective opinion on a player's mindset.

Karl-Anthony Towns is a bum for his no-show performance against the Grizzlies

I'm done with Karl-Anthony Towns. I'm definitely done with him... He's a bum. I don't know what to say. Like he has to basically, he now has a legacy series that his hands he has to come out and dominate the next like three games to restore his legacy because now the play-in game and then tonight [Game 3] he was a complete no-show.

While KAT had a bad game, calling him a 'bum' and being 'done' with him is subjective, though he did struggle for much of that series.

My live-betting strategy of taking teams down by 15-20 points in the first half is a winning system

It's a strategy though. It's a system. If a team is down by like 10 to 15, 20 points and it's still the first half, there's a live bet moneyline the other team. It's a simple system... no lead is safe in the NBA, especially in the playoffs.

The Grizzlies actually came back from 26 down in this specific game, validating Hank's 'system' for one night, though as a long-term betting strategy, it's highly debatable.

Jokic is the most skilled big man we have ever seen

He's the most skilled player in the world. He does everything at a very high level... the best floater in the league, but he is also an incredible jump shooter. And that's not even a strength. So long story short, he's just the most skilled big man we've ever seen.

While debatable vs. Kareem or Wilt, Jokic's unique triple-double ability and shooting for a center make this a valid, high-level opinion.

Tyrese Halliburton is the most underrated player in the playoffs

That take [him being overrated] is aging very poorly, very poorly. They are five in one in the Playoffs... he might be the most underrated player in these NBA playoffs. I think he deserves some flowers. He deserves some of those media cycles where we're like, he's 25 and he's three wins away from bringing his team to the conference finals two years in a row.

Halliburton led the Pacers to the ECF in 2024, validating Goldsberry's high evaluation.

NBA Finals prediction: Celtics vs. Thunder

I'm sticking with the Boston Celtics, Bing bong hanky. I still support the Celtics and you know, I'm sticking with the with the thunder and I'm a little bit nervous today. I think Boston has a much easier path to the finals than OKC.

The Celtics made the finals and won; the Thunder lost in the second round to the Mavericks.
