The Celtics are still the better team than the Warriors

Hank's going to get mad at this comment, but I still think the Celtics are the better team. I mean, if you were looking for a bet after a loss, they've been undefeated this whole playoffs.

The Warriors won the series 4-2, winning three straight games after this take was made, effectively proving they were the better team.

Draymond Green is absolutely useless

My butthole is clenched. It was a very impressive performance from Steph Curry. He did everything for them. Klay Thompson, [Draymond]... I mean Klay played well, [Draymond's] absolutely useless.

While Green struggled offensively in Game 4, he remained a vital defensive anchor and eventually helped the Warriors win the title, making the 'useless' claim hyperbolic.

Draymond Green is the new Ben Simmons

[Draymond Green] is Ben Simmons... Steve Kerr deserves a ton of credit... for having the balls to pull Draymond out of the fourth quarter. Draymond Green does not want to shoot. He is Ben Simmons at this point where it's like, he could have a completely open look going towards the basket and he will pass it up.

While both players are elite defenders and playmakers who struggle to shoot, Draymond has a much higher competitive motor and has won four rings, whereas Simmons' career stalled due to lack of confidence and injuries.

Robert Williams is the most impactful player on the court for the Celtics

When Robert Williams [is out there], he's the most impactful player on the court. As many blocks as he has, he probably has so many more that just because his presence is there, [opponents] don't even try and take shots. He brings the energy for the Celtics.

Williams was arguably the most impactful defender in the series, leading both teams in blocks and altering numerous shots despite playing through significant pain.

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.
