The 76ers' Game 7 loss was on James Harden and Joel Embiid, not Doc Rivers

Doc Rivers fired... He probably should have been fired. But it also is like one of those rare cases where Doc Rivers loves to blow it in big moments, but that loss to me was squarely on James Harden and Joel Embiid.

This is a subjective assessment of a game's outcome, though both Embiid and Harden struggled significantly in that Game 7.

The Nuggets will win the series against the Lakers in six games

I still think Nuggets and six, if [Jokic] can dominate like he dominated tonight and I actually don't see a reason why he wouldn't be able to as insane as his game was tonight.

The Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers will win Game 2 because they found a way to disrupt the Nuggets in the fourth quarter

I think the Lakers might win game two because it did feel also like it in the fourth quarter. It felt like they figured a little something out. Like Anthony Davis was playing off Gordon, was disrupting everything. I just think it is gonna be a long series.

The Nuggets won Game 2 (108-103) and went on to sweep the Lakers 4-0.

San Antonio is the perfect landing spot for Victor Wembanyama because of Gregg Popovich

If you want a young player to not have his career go sideways with bad coaching and a dysfunctional franchise, there's no better place than San Antonio for [Wembanyama] to land.

Wembanyama had a historic rookie season under Popovich, winning Rookie of the Year and validating the 'perfect fit' narrative.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
