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.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
