The 2021-22 Atlanta Hawks season ended in a gross way and their ECF run last year might have been a bad thing for the team's development

I think we go back, we revisit like, is it going to end up being a bad thing that they went to the Eastern conference final last year because they went into the playoffs and this whole season being like, we've, we've done something. We can do this. And their season ends in kind of a very gross way... That was a gross, gross ending for the Hawks.

Subjective opinion on team psychology and development path.

I want the Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies series to go to seven games because it is so competitive

I agree with you. I want this to go seven. I feel bad for the Timberwolves... this series is so competitive. Every game's a war.

The series ended in 6 games, so his wish for 7 did not come true.

The Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies series is the most fun series to watch because they are the two youngest teams in the NBA

There's a reason why this series is so fun to watch. Obviously you've got great players... [they are] the two youngest teams in the playoffs, two of the five youngest teams in the NBA, which means that you're going to see some guys that have the ability to do like incredible, amazing athletic stuff, but also make really, really stupid, awful mistakes.

The Timberwolves and Grizzlies were indeed among the youngest teams in the league/playoffs that year.

The Miami Heat are the most frightening team in the Eastern Conference

The Heat are such a good team right now. I would be, that's the team that would scare me as a true blue Celtics believer. That is the team that scares me out of the East.

The Heat did reach the Eastern Conference Finals and pushed the Celtics to seven games, though they ultimately lost.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
