Ben Simmons is ready to return for the Nets and just needs to pass the ball and play defense

I think I nailed this one. Cause Ben Simmons is coming back per Shams. They've just kept him on ice... Ben Simmons is ready to come back and yeah, he doesn't really have to do anything. All he has to do is be out on the court on defense and then just pass the ball on offense. That's it.

Ben Simmons did not play in the 2022 playoffs despite reports of a potential Game 4 return.

Ben Simmons returning to the Nets lineup is actually better for the Celtics

This could be old takes exposed, but I think [Ben Simmons returning] is better for the Celtics... if they're not on the same page and like the third or fourth quarter, like you can't... it'll be really [weird].

Simmons never played, so we can't know if he would have hurt the Nets, but the Celtics easily won the series regardless.

The Jazz-Mavericks first-round series will be boring and terrible

I've got a series that will suck. I'm ready to predict right now, a series that I care about the least: Jazz-Mavericks. That series is going to suck... especially if Luka is not going to be a hundred percent. That's the only reason why you would watch that series with any sort of interest. If you're outside of Utah or outside of Dallas, it's going to be boring.

The series was actually fairly competitive and interesting due to the emergence of Jalen Brunson and the Jazz's dysfunction.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
