The Celtics will beat the Sixers in seven games

I do think this is gonna go seven and I think the Celtics are gonna win in seven because the Sixers didn't win game three. The Celtics are gonna have a reinvigorated effort on Tuesday night. Win that game. Sixers reinvigorated effort on Thursday, win that game back to Boston for game seven. Celtics win game seven.

The series did go to seven games, and the Celtics did win Game 7 in Boston. The sequence was: Celtics won Game 5, Sixers won Game 6, Celtics won Game 7.

If James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game

I'm a big believer and if James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game. Give him a nice little sit and then it's back to Philly. I'm sure that James Harden will be great in game seven like he always is.

Harden followed a 42-point Game 4 with 17 points in a Game 5 win, then struggled in Games 6 and 7. The take is satirically proven right by his inconsistency.

Jason Tatum is better than Joel Embiid in the playoffs

[Jason Tatum] is the best player on the court. He's better than Joel Embiid. I'm sorry, like in playoffs, Joel Embiid, he had a very good game, but the fourth quarter he looked like the most gassed person in the world.

In the deciding Game 7 of this series, Tatum scored 51 points while Embiid struggled with 15 points, largely validating this take for that specific season.

LeBron James will play three or four more years and will not decline in quality

I think LeBron's gonna play what, maybe like four more years. Three more years maybe? And I don't think he's even gonna get worse. I think he kind of is what he is at this point and old less, slightly less athletic LeBron is still a fucking monster and so he's just gonna play until he decides to walk away and he's still gonna be super healthy at that point.

LeBron is still playing at an All-NBA level as of the 2024-2025 season (2+ years after the take) without a major drop-off.

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.
