Dante Jones is the real coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers

Okay, the coach, [is] Dante Jones, my former teammate. He has his three-point celebrations down so perfectly. There's like a different one for each guy. He's the first one off the bench to high five. He's the coach.

Tyronn Lue was the official head coach and led the team to the Finals that year.

The NBA is paying the refs

The NBA is paying the refs. The NBA actually always pays the refs. That's how they get paid. They're paying the refs.

The NBA does, in fact, pay its referees a salary.

Kyrie Irving wouldn't have gotten off the bench for John Wooden in the 1960s

If [Kyrie Irving] played back in the 60s, he wouldn't have got off the bench on John Wooden's team. Dribbles between the legs too much. A little bit of a ball hog. A little bit of a flashy showboat. But I guess if you score points in today's day and age, that's all you need.

This is a subjective historical counterfactual used for comedic effect.

The Cavaliers haven't lost an NBA title since I left my wallet at Quicken Loans Arena.

I left my wallet in the Q, and they have not lost an NBA title since then. So right now, it looks pretty good for the Cavs.

The Cavs won in 2016 after he left the wallet, but they lost the 2017 NBA Finals just weeks after this episode aired.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
