Cord cutters are not real sports fans

People who are cord cutters are not sports fans. I'm just going to say it right now. Because you are buffering and you're watching a minute behind. You care more about the money you're saving than sports, than the actual sports and being up to date. You are not a real sports fan.

Being a 'real sports fan' is subjective, though his technical point about streaming delays is a verifiable fact.

The NBA loves late start times because it gives gamblers a larger window to place bets

I think that the NBA actually really enjoys these late start times because it gives [fans] a much larger window with which to lock in their bet. Adam Silver loves... he's a betting man.

The NBA has historically scheduled Finals games late for TV ratings, but the league's later pivot into heavy gambling partnerships makes this claim somewhat prophetic.

The Warriors are totally fine in the NBA Finals even without Kevin Durant

I actually think the Warriors are totally fine. I mean, that's not like a hot take, but Klay's going to be back. I think they – sitting Klay, they were like, look, we're the Warriors. Like, we'll be fine. Let's get him 100% healthy or close to 100%. ... But they know that they can win on the road.

The Warriors lost the series to the Raptors in 6 games.

I don't think Kevin Durant will play at all in this series

I don't think Kevin Durant's going to play this series. We've said that on Wednesday. ... I like how we're getting even further away. Like, we're going to rule him out for Game 5, the minute Game 4 ends.

Kevin Durant did play in Game 5 of the series before tearing his Achilles.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.

Victor Wembanyama is the best watch in the NBA right now

[Wembanyama] is the best watch in the NBA right now. It's not even close... just his entire performance leaving it like, he was so gassed that three that looked like we were talking about it, it looked like it was almost like there was a whistle beforehand because it was like in slow motion. It was just incredible.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
