I am rooting for LeBron to get to the Finals just so he can lose for a 10th time

I'm rooting for the Cavs in the Eastern Conference this year... Because I want LeBron to lose again in the finals. I want the losses. I have the dream in my mind, the dream that Hank spoke out loud last year when he's like, what if LeBron ends up losing 10 NBA finals? So I am all in on the Cavs up until the finals.

LeBron's Finals record is 4-6, so he has not reached 10 losses yet.

The Capitals losing Game 1 is good because you can't win a Cup without adversity

This is how you find out what your team's made of. You can't win a Stanley Cup if you don't have to battle through some adversity. Good news is we got it out of the way right away.

The Capitals famously overcame years of playoff failures to win the 2018 Stanley Cup.

The Timberwolves are the hottest team entering the playoffs because they already played an elimination game

The Timberwolves, we can now say, are the hottest team in the playoffs because their playoffs already started. They played an elimination game against the Nuggets. So they already know what it's like to have playoff intensity.

The Wolves lost in the first round 4-1 to the Rockets, so the 'hotness' didn't translate to success.

Karl-Anthony Towns is a top 10 player and the clear leader of the Timberwolves over Jimmy Butler

Any time that you can get a team that has a really, like, a transcendent talent on there, like Cat, it's going to be fun to watch them in the playoffs... If we're playing Who's Man's with the Timberwolves, this is not Jimmy Butler's team. This is Cat's team. Cat is probably a top 10 player.

Subjective, but Butler led the team to its only playoff appearance in that era and Towns struggled in that specific playoff series.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

Subjective comparison.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
