D'Angelo Russell is maybe the worst player ever

Dlo [D'Angelo] Russell is maybe the worst player ever. It's puzzling how bad the Lakers have been.

Russell is objectively an All-Star caliber NBA player, though he had a terrible series.

I would fire Joe Mazzulla right now before Game 4

If I were you, Hank, I would want to fire [Joe] Mazzulla right now before Game 4. Get Brad [Stevens] in there.

Mazzulla was not fired; he remained the coach and eventually won the 2024 NBA title.

Boston as a city does not have what it takes to come back from down 3-0

No teams ever come back down from three-oh in the NBA. I don't think Boston as a city has what it takes to come down from three-oh.

The Celtics did force a Game 7 but lost at home, so they did not complete the comeback. No NBA team has ever successfully come back from 3-0.

Heat Culture is the strongest strain of culture in the world

Heat culture. I know I declared it dead... ever since that moment, I don't think there's been anything stronger in the world than heat culture. It is the strongest strain of culture out there.

The Heat made the NBA Finals as an 8th seed, validating the 'strength' of their culture during that run.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

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.
