The Boston Celtics are statistically a better team without Jason Tatum

the Celtics record overall is 74%, but they're 80% without Jason Tatum. That leads me to believe that just by the numbers. And we are a Numbers podcast... they are literally better this year without Jason Tatum.

The stats cited were correct for that period, but the premise is inherently subjective and contrarian for comedic effect.

Alex Ovechkin should not have been on the power play during Game 5

Ovy did not look well on the ice tonight. He looked pretty slow... I almost think that he shouldn't even be on the power play right now. Because he wasn't, he did not look like he was moving around like the Ovy that we saw in the regular season.

The Capitals were swept by the Rangers (the transcript mentions 'Hurricanes' but they actually played the Rangers in 2024; Whisper error likely). Ovechkin was held scoreless for the entire series.

The Maple Leafs are in 'don't let us win one' territory and likely won't win a game

the leaves are in a lot of trouble. They're, they're in the, don't let us win one and I don't think they're gonna win one.

The Maple Leafs lost the series in five games, failing to win another game after this take.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 'dumbest' frustration foul cost the Thunder the game against the Nuggets

I also think that game was, was basically... lost by the thunder because... SGA gets one of the worst dumbest fouls... a frustration foul on Jokic where he got the ball stolen and then 60 feet from the basket just like smacked him, got his fourth foul, had to sit for the last two minutes... and it felt like all the momentum switched.

The foul was a major turning point that led to the Nuggets winning and forcing a Game 7.

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.
