The Celtics will blow out the Sixers in Game 2

I do think the Celtics are gonna kill them tonight. I think there's a just a natural like let down, you won one in Boston, you didn't need Embiid. It the Celtics now have to like give their best effort. It feels like a Celtics blowout.

The Celtics won Game 2 by 34 points (121-87). Absolute bullseye.

LeBron James might be better as a Robin than a Batman for the Lakers

I think what we're seeing is LeBron might be better as a Robin than he is as a Batman. They've got a true number one option finally on the Lakers in AD who looks healthier than we had predicted.

The Lakers did lean heavily on Davis during their 2023 WCF run, but the dynamic remains a shared leadership. LeBron's role as a playmaker makes the Batman/Robin dynamic subjective.

My fear of the Lakers making a championship run has reached a new level

My fear of LeBron and the Lakers making a championship run has elevated to another rung. So I do think this is gonna be a great series. I obviously, you know, like game one, especially the Warriors coming off of game seven, I don't know how they're gonna solve for the fact that the Lakers are just taller than them.

The Lakers did make a run to the Western Conference Finals, though they were ultimately swept by the Nuggets. Big Cat's fear was justified as they beat the defending champ Warriors.

NBA playoff teams should only wear their classic home and road jerseys

When you're in the playoffs, you wear your jerseys, you wear your classic jerseys, you wear your home, you wear your road. Like don't fuck it up. ... I don't want your city connect. I don't want your 17th Nike jersey. ... I do sound like an old man right now, but I want your classic jersey playing in the playoffs.

This is a matter of personal aesthetic preference and tradition.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
