Bill Belichick's main motivation for making the playoffs is to avoid being forced to do 'Hard Knocks'

I think that [Belichick] doesn't want to be on Hard Knocks so badly that he just wants to make the playoffs every year just so he doesn't have to deal with camera crews and shit coming into his training camp.

While the exemption exists, Belichick's actual motivation is almost certainly winning Super Bowls, not avoiding a TV show.

Phil Jackson's master plan was to get paid for screwing up the Knicks

Phil's master plan was to get paid for screwing up a franchise and he's getting paid. He's just like [fucking] the ground, having a good time, getting paid for it. He played James Dolan like a fiddle.

Jackson was fired with two years left on his $60 million contract, effectively getting paid a massive sum not to work for the team.

Chris Paul hated Doc Rivers because of the preferential treatment given to Austin Rivers

Chris Paul hated Doc Rivers ever since he brought Austin Rivers on and basically didn't yell at Austin Rivers and treated him exactly like his child.

Reports at the time from ESPN and others heavily suggested that the relationship between CP3 and Doc soured due to Doc's handling of his son Austin.

James Harden and Chris Paul will be fighting over the ball within two months

I give that about two months before we get James Harden doing something weird and being like, 'hey, I need the ball.' And Chris Paul's like, 'well, I'm the point guard and I need the ball.'

The Harden/Paul pairing was incredibly successful in its first year (2017-18), finishing with the NBA's best record. While they eventually clashed in 2019, Big Cat's two-month window for conflict was way off.

If Duke loses this year, they will be a dynasty of chokers

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.

This is a conditional opinion based on a future outcome.

I'm picking Purdue or Nebraska to win the national title

I think that Purdue, no one's talking about Purdue. They've been hovering around the top. Every time they, they, they start to be discussed in the media. It feels like they lose their next game. I'm gonna say Purdue, my money's on Purdue or Nebraska this year.

The 2026 NCAA tournament hasn't happened yet.

I believe Michigan State's Tom Izzo will return to the Final Four in his final year

I got it feels like the visualization pick of Izzo in his last year. Going back to a Final Four. Feel like that's gonna happen.

Michigan State did not reach the Final Four in 2026.
