The Celtics will reach the NBA Finals without playing a single memorable game

Will they [the Celtics] be the first team to ever get to the finals without playing a single memorable playoff game? It's crazy. Every game is either they kick the shit out of the opponent and their two losses are they got the shit kicked outta them. They haven't played in one like big fourth quarter moment yet.

The Celtics swept the Pacers in the ECF and beat the Mavs 4-1 in the Finals. While the Finals had some moments, the Eastern run was largely devoid of high-stakes late-game drama.

The Nuggets are the scariest team left in the playoffs

The Nuggets are the scariest team in the West. You're right. Left in the playoffs period. Like the Nuggets just do not care. Like they're not worried ...

The Nuggets lost in the second round to the Timberwolves. The Celtics won the championship.

The Western Conference power ranking right now is the Nuggets, followed by the Timberwolves, the Thunder, and then the Mavericks

[PFT Commenter: Rank the four teams outta the west. Scary. Who are you the most scared of?] Nuggets one, Timberwolves, Thunder... [Mavs are 4].

The Mavericks, whom Hank ranked last, actually won the Western Conference.

I am out on the Thunder for using the 'Hack-a-Lively' strategy with six minutes left in a close playoff game

I might be out on the Thunder... I thought that was so fucking lame that they did Hack-a-Lively with six minutes left. It was a five point game... You're the one seed and you're down five in the fourth quarter with six minutes left... and you're doing fucking Hack-a-Lively. Come on man.

This is a subjective opinion on team identity and strategy.

UNC is one of the true blue blood jobs in college basketball

This is a job that doesn't come open very often. And it is a true blue blood job... It is the logo of a team that's won a ton of national titles and a ton of Final Fours. It is literally one of the blue bloods.

UNC's historical success, tournament wins, and titles objectively categorize them as a blue blood.

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum - he's a rock star coach

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum. He just wins everywhere. Ben McCollum always talking about toughness. I've fallen hard. I've read a lot of Ben McCollum this last week after beating Florida. This guy fucking rocks.

Subjective opinion on a coach's quality.

The Cubs are the second best team in the NL and will reach the NLCS

I think the Cubs are gonna be really fucking good. I think they're the second best team in the NL so I guess my expectations might be a little too high, but I think they're gonna be really, really good. I think they should definitely win the NL Central and be in the NLCS.

Predicting the Cubs to be the second-best team in the entire National League is a bold stance given the Dodgers and Braves.
