I'm convinced the Celtics are simply the better team and the only team that can beat them is themselves

I'm convinced now the Celtics just the better team. The only, the only team that can beat the Celtics is the Celtics. Like they have to beat themselves.

This turned out to be famously incorrect as the Warriors won the next three games straight to win the title, proving they were the better, more experienced team.

There will definitely be a Game 6 in the NBA Finals

I do think there will be a game six, unfortunately. Very scared about game four.

Correct. The series went to 6 games, with the Warriors winning in Boston.

The Celtics would have won by now if they didn't constantly throw up stinkers and let down in the third quarter

The Celtics, like what they have gotten better at over the season... they still do it to an extent it happened in the third quarter as they just we'll just let down. And all of a sudden they have terrible runs... they just throw up stinkers. I think that's been, it's been the most, it was like this in Milwaukee series, like this, the Miami series.

The Celtics did have a tendency to lose leads and play inconsistent stretches, famously blowing several big leads in this specific Finals series before ultimately losing to the Warriors.

The Warriors are impossible to beat if Steph Curry and Klay Thompson both have a night where they're 'on' from start to finish

If those two guys make all their shots, if they get to a night where they're both on, then they're pretty much impossible to beat. It doesn't matter how good the Celtics can play... but they're not going to be able to do that. Like that's not, it's impossible for them to sustain that type of basketball.

While Klay was inconsistent, Steph had a legendary series (including 43 points in Game 4) that ultimately proved the Warriors were not only beatable but capable of outplaying the Celtics' defense.

Josh Allen is playing quarterback on easy mode

We're a Josh Allen podcast. People sometimes get upset about how much we glaze him. I don't think we glaze him enough because he's playing quarterback on easy mode. It looks like that for him. The flick of the wrist, the runs, everything—it all looks like the game is slowed down for him. He's in just total control of the game.

Subjective assessment of Josh Allen's play and dominance.

The Bears will beat the Vikings, but they won't score 59 again

I think the Bears are gonna win. I do not think they're gonna score 59 points. I do think they're gonna win.

The Bears-Vikings result and Chicago's point total will determine this prediction.
