The Celtics plus three and a half is a good bet for Game 5

I do think the Celtics plus three and a half is a good bet on Monday night. It looks stupid... but if you were looking for a bet after a loss, they've been undefeated this whole playoffs. You'd expect them to win on Monday.

The Warriors won Game 5 104-94, meaning the Celtics failed to win or cover the +3.5 spread.

Draymond Green is absolutely useless

My butthole is clenched. It was a very impressive performance from Steph Curry. He did everything for them. Klay Thompson, [Draymond]... I mean Klay played well, [Draymond's] absolutely useless.

While Green struggled offensively in Game 4, he remained a vital defensive anchor and eventually helped the Warriors win the title, making the 'useless' claim hyperbolic.

Draymond Green is the new Ben Simmons

[Draymond Green] is Ben Simmons... Steve Kerr deserves a ton of credit... for having the balls to pull Draymond out of the fourth quarter. Draymond Green does not want to shoot. He is Ben Simmons at this point where it's like, he could have a completely open look going towards the basket and he will pass it up.

While both players are elite defenders and playmakers who struggle to shoot, Draymond has a much higher competitive motor and has won four rings, whereas Simmons' career stalled due to lack of confidence and injuries.

Robert Williams is the most impactful player on the court for the Celtics

When Robert Williams [is out there], he's the most impactful player on the court. As many blocks as he has, he probably has so many more that just because his presence is there, [opponents] don't even try and take shots. He brings the energy for the Celtics.

Williams was arguably the most impactful defender in the series, leading both teams in blocks and altering numerous shots despite playing through significant pain.

Miami of Ohio 100% deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament despite their first-round loss

I think a hundred percent they should be in. We need to just focus on the fact that there, I believe 31 and one and not do anything about strength of schedule. If you're able to go an entire season without losing a game that's hard to just wake up every day and not stumble once. I wanna see what happens when they play their first quad win one game in the middle of March.

This is part of the satirical 'Future' bit; Miami of Ohio was not 31-1 in 2026 (or 2024).

Conference tournaments are bad for top teams because they don't improve your seeding and lead to unnecessary fatigue

I'm kind of done with the conference tournaments. Like they just fuck you. It doesn't make your seed better and you end up being more tired today. If you have to play four games, you're just gonna get screwed.

The value of conference tournaments for high-seeded teams is a perennial debate in sports media.

Kyler Murray will be the next Sam Darnold now that he's with the Vikings

Kyler Murray is a Viking. We all kind of expected it. It happened. He's going to be the next Sam Darnold. The NFC North now has three number one picks at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams, Jared Goff. Kind of cool.

Kyler Murray did not sign with the Vikings; this is part of the episode bit.
