The 76ers' Game 7 loss was on James Harden and Joel Embiid, not Doc Rivers

Doc Rivers fired... He probably should have been fired. But it also is like one of those rare cases where Doc Rivers loves to blow it in big moments, but that loss to me was squarely on James Harden and Joel Embiid.

This is a subjective assessment of a game's outcome, though both Embiid and Harden struggled significantly in that Game 7.

The Nuggets will win the series against the Lakers in six games

I still think Nuggets and six, if [Jokic] can dominate like he dominated tonight and I actually don't see a reason why he wouldn't be able to as insane as his game was tonight.

The Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers will win Game 2 because they found a way to disrupt the Nuggets in the fourth quarter

I think the Lakers might win game two because it did feel also like it in the fourth quarter. It felt like they figured a little something out. Like Anthony Davis was playing off Gordon, was disrupting everything. I just think it is gonna be a long series.

The Nuggets won Game 2 (108-103) and went on to sweep the Lakers 4-0.

San Antonio is the perfect landing spot for Victor Wembanyama because of Gregg Popovich

If you want a young player to not have his career go sideways with bad coaching and a dysfunctional franchise, there's no better place than San Antonio for [Wembanyama] to land.

Wembanyama had a historic rookie season under Popovich, winning Rookie of the Year and validating the 'perfect fit' narrative.

College basketball has five absolutely dominant teams this year

We have five, you could even maybe go to six, just absolutely dominant teams. Michigan, UConn, Duke, Arizona, and Florida that are playing at such an insane level.

The dominance of these teams will be tested in the upcoming NCAA tournament in March 2026.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.

Miami of Ohio will make the tournament even if they lose in the conference tournament

I'm saying right now, winning every... If they go undefeated in the conference, that is so hard to do. I think if they go undefeated in the conference and then lose in the conference tournament, I think they will be in.

This will be resolved on Selection Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
