Jalen Brown single-handedly ended the NBA Finals in Game 3

If you look at this series, which wasn't really competitive... [Jalen Brown's] second half in that game [Game 3] basically ended the series. Like he single-handedly ended the series there.

The Celtics won Game 3 to go up 3-0, a deficit no team has ever overcome. Jalen Brown had 30 points, including 15 in the third quarter, which effectively sealed the series.

Jalen Brown is a top 5 player in the NBA

[Jalen Brown] is in that top five now. He's the best player on the team.

While Brown won Finals MVP and All-NBA Second Team honors in 2023, ranking him in the top 5 (above Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA, etc.) is highly debatable and subjective.

Brad Stevens is the greatest GM of all time

Brad Stevens is, you know, the greatest GM of all time. I think he's gotta be. He's in all-time in this conversation.

Brad Stevens has one title as a GM. While his moves for Holiday and White were brilliant, 'greatest of all time' is a huge historical reach.

The Celtics are set up for a dynasty

I mean the team is set up for a great, great run, which is the most exciting part. We win a championship now and we're set up, we're set up for the future. Maybe a real [dynasty].

The Celtics have a young core locked in, but the second apron and NBA parity make dynasties extremely difficult. This remains to be seen.

Kevin Willard's joke about firing his staff was funny and shouldn't have been taken seriously

It was such a clear joke and people, I couldn't believe... There were people who actually thought he was being serious. I thought it was a funny joke. And then we had the people trying to cover for themselves being like, well, even if it was a joke, that's not a joke you make. Imagine if you're an assistant and you hear your boss say that.

Whether a joke is funny or appropriate is subjective.

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical

Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.

This is an analytical opinion on sports trends that can't be definitively proven right or wrong.

The Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well

Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa have some pretty big fan bases that are all gonna wanna travel, especially Nebraska... I don't think it's gonna be like they're gonna take over the place, but I don't think it's gonna be 80% Houston at this game.

The attendance split of the Sweet 16 regional in Houston will determine this.
