Jayson Tatum is the safer bet for Finals MVP

I'm going Jayson Tatum folks... I think Jayson Tatum is going to win the MVP because the Celtics are only, I don't want a series of Jayson Tatum has a few more good games and his passing in particular guys has been great... He's just slightly more complete and slightly more important to the Celtic success.

Incorrect. The Celtics lost the series, and Steph Curry won MVP. Even if they won, Jaylen Brown was often viewed as their most consistent player this series.

Jayson Tatum did not have a good game in Game 3

Jayson Tatum once again did not have that good of a game. He played very good, but he's not giving MVP.

Subjective, but Tatum led the team in points and assists in a double-digit win.

There will definitely be a Game 6 in the NBA Finals

I do think there will be a game six, unfortunately. Very scared about game four.

The Celtics are simply the better team and the Warriors cannot beat them

I have now like game three, show me that the best, the best version of the Celtics, the warriors can not be. I'm being honest. That's just my honest take on it.

Incorrect. The Warriors won the next three games in a row to win the series 4-2.

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.
