The 2023 NBA playoffs are the most 'f-ed up' in NBA history

I will also remind you Big Cat that in our playoff preview in Austin, I, I was clear that this is the most effed up post-season [in NBA history]. You did. It's so weird. We have an eight seed, oh, two eight seeds in the conference finals. We have the first playing team, winning a series. We have two plan teams winning series. It's just the, it's parody. It's a lot like March Madness.

The 2023 playoffs did feature two No. 8 seeds (Heat and Lakers) in the Conference Finals for the first time in the current format, making it historically anomalous.

Jamal Murray has officially arrived as a clutch postseason player

I was gonna say Jamal Murray has arrived officially as like a clutch postseason player. That fourth quarter was awesome. Go nuggets.

Murray's performance in the 2023 playoffs, leading to a title, widely cemented this reputation.

LeBron James looked old for the first time in these playoffs

The story is LeBron James looking old for the first time cause whether it was the miss dunk, whether it was the flops... he just for the first time this these playoffs, he looked a little off.

While LeBron was injured (foot), the Lakers were swept by Denver in this series.

Derrick Henry is one of the last running backs with a Hall of Fame case

He's gonna be one of the last running backs that's gonna go into the Hall. Hall of Fame for running backs is gonna get very difficult soon.

Hall of Fame selection is partly subjective, and the future class of running backs has not been determined.

The Bears' offense may be record-breaking under Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson said, 'We're trying to break the record,' and so far, obviously small sample size, one game, good start.

The Bears' full-season offensive output has not been resolved.

I am giving Ben Johnson total control

I will hand over all free will and thought and just give it to him and be like, whatever you say, I will just do whatever you decide. I will say, yes, that was the correct decision.

This is a subjective expression of confidence in a coach's decision-making.
