The Celtics' physical defense will drain the Warriors' will the longer the series goes

I don't know if I agree. I think the Celtics, the way they play defense and the style that they play... the longer it goes, the more gas they take out of the opponent. They kind of suck the will out of the opponent because they play such a tough defense.

The Celtics offense stalled late in the series, and the Warriors' experience proved to be the deciding factor.

The Boston Celtics are dead

The Boston Celtics are dead.

The Celtics were far from dead; they won Game 3 and took a 2-1 lead before eventually losing the series 4-2.

The New York Rangers are playing unsustainable hockey and got lucky against Pittsburgh

Rangers fans were losing it because I was like, yes, this team has had success all year, but fuck, do they give up a lot of high, dangerous scoring chances and rely on their goaltending. I think that they're going to get worked in playoffs... believe me when I say they got so lucky that Jarry got hurt and they had to play a three third string goalie, they got [worked].

The Rangers' luck did run out in the Conference Finals as they lost to Tampa Bay in 6 games shortly after this episode.

The Celtics are the better team and will win the series if they execute

If [the Celtics] just have to execute and play their game, they're going to win the series. But I'm just worried... it feels like they are the better team similar to honestly the Heat series where it's like, they're the better team. So it almost makes it worse when games are close and they lose games.

The Celtics lost the series 4-2 to the Warriors, who proved to be the better, more experienced team.

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.
