Mitch Johnson should have called a timeout for the Spurs before Victor Wembanyama's late-game turnover.

I thought Mitch Johnson not calling a time out there was crazy. They have one time out left, there's seven seconds left... Call time out, call up your best play. If Brunson on the floor attack Brunson... you get a shot to potentially win without the risk of losing and regulation, which is what ended up happening.

This is a tactical opinion on coaching strategy.

The New York Knicks playing at Madison Square Garden for the NBA Finals will be an absolute movie.

I am hyped for what the New York Knicks in the NBA finals are gonna look like at MSG. I think it's gonna be absolutely nuts. The crowd is gonna be nuts.

The atmosphere at MSG during a championship run is objectively high-energy, though 'insane' is subjective.

Victor Wembanyama choked at the end of Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

So he choked. That was a big time choke at the end. Like he, you gotta look before you throw that pass. It was a ill-advised pass to make. And then out of frustration, he just, he commits a bad foul. I, I think [Wembanyama] is to blame, obviously for everything that happened at the end of this game.

Wembanyama did literally have a turnover and a foul at the end of the game, though 'choke' is a subjective descriptor.

The 'two-for-one' strategy at the end of basketball games can actually hurt teams by forcing rushed, bad shots.

When you, when you put up a bad shot, it also, I, I wanna see what the numbers are, but I would assume that the likelihood of a fast break or getting like, you know, a, a numbers overload off that miss off a bad miss and a long rebound are higher than if you get a normal shot... when you try super, super hard and make sure to get that two for one up, no matter what the cost is, that actually ends up hurting you a little bit.

The effectiveness of the two-for-one is a subject of ongoing analytic debate.

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

Big Cat predicted the Brewers had the World Series sealed up. The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on October 28, 2026, to win their first World Series championship.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
