I expect the Celtics to eventually get fired by their employer

Brad Stevens... completely honest and genuine being like, you know, when you get in this profession, you know that you're someday going to get fired. All right. So actually, Brad, we were just talking about the fact that it's your job to coach. So you're coaching for your job.

Most professional coaches are eventually fired or choose to leave, making the 'someday' claim generally true in the industry.

James Harden looks like he is taking weird designer drugs every playoffs

I don't understand James Harden. I don't understand how this is supposed to be different, and then he goes to another playoffs and looks like he's taking some weird designer drug the entire playoffs.

This is a subjective characterization of a player's performance.

The Rockets and Warriors series has the weirdest bodies in peak sports

The fact that these are the two best teams in the NBA playing each other in the Western Conference Finals and if you had them all take off their shirts you'd be like I don't know are these guys peak athletes... Eric Gordon has a full on gut.

This is a subjective observation about athlete body types.

Charles Barkley would get his ass kicked by Draymond Green

Charles Barkley would get his ass kicked so bad by Draymond. Oh, so bad. So bad. He's not, like, so bad.

Barkley was 55 at the time; Draymond was in his prime. Physically, this is almost certainly correct.

The Brewers are the best team in baseball

They're the best team at baseball all year, and they proved it. They absolutely decimated the Dodgers.

The Brewers had reached the World Series and were described in the episode as having the best regular season; whether they were definitively the best team is partly subjective.

Bo Nix's problem is getting bigger

The Bo Nix problem seems to be getting bigger and bigger. What are we watching?

This is a judgment about Nix's trajectory and the Broncos' confidence in him, not a binary factual prediction.

A 24-team playoff is ruining college football

We're moving to a 24-team playoff. It just sucks. We don't need 24 teams. Twelve is probably a stretch already. What made college football special was the regular season mattered so much.

Whether playoff expansion improves or harms college football is an evaluative judgment.
