The Brooklyn Nets season is a success if they reach the conference finals, it's not championship or bust
If they get to the conference finals and lose to Milwaukee or lose to a Boston, I think that's a great season. I don't think it's championship or bust, even if they have championship goals... when you have a new group together, it's not a one-year championship or bust.

Eli Manning had the best retirement strategy by leaving early rather than hanging on like Big Ben

Like leave the party, be the first to leave.
If the Titans can't run the ball down the Packers' throat, the Packers are frauds

I would say the two people... I mentioned Grant Williams, I think Grant Williams... he's going to be key because the Warriors just force everyone to play small... If he plays well, like he did in the Milwaukee series where he hit eight threes, 93, whatever it was, then, you know, Boston's going to be a problem.
Milwaukee would have won the East and reached the Finals if Khris Middleton was healthy
