Carmelo Anthony should be the coach for the next Olympic team

Melo should be the coach in next Olympics. Melo literally called a play for Kevin Durant from the far sideline. He was like clear out, clear out. It was when Kevin Durant had the sauce.

The next Olympic coach (2028) has not been officially named, but Steve Kerr has stepped down.

Joel Embiid falls on his head intentionally to minimize impact on his knees

I saw some people saying that maybe [Joel Embiid] was trying to minimize the impact on his knees. So he's just not landing on his feet anymore. He is the opposite of a cat. He just lands on his head.

While Embiid has stated he falls to protect his joints, landing on his head is likely not the intended mechanic.

Steve Kerr purposefully played bad lineups to make the Serbia game more dramatic

Credit Steve Kerr for making it an interesting game and one of a highlight Olympic basketball game because that was more fun than the US just killing everyone. If he had just kept with his best players the whole second half, we probably would've won by double digits.

Kerr did not intentionally make the game close for drama, he was managing a complex roster.

Steve Kerr is an idiot for benching Jayson Tatum during the Olympics

I'm an American first and foremost... I think Steve Kerr is a fucking idiot. Even his own player Draymond Green was chirping him on Twitter saying you gotta mess with the lineups. You have Jayson Tatum, one of the best players in the NBA, didn't play at all.

While Kerr's rotations were controversial, the US won gold, making 'idiot' a subjective label. Tatum's DNP-CDs were factual.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
