The Hawks might have been right for choosing Trae Young over Luka Doncic

We're seeing now, were the Hawks right for taking Trae Young and not Luka Doncic? Maybe. So there you go. That's really when you know that you got a good one, when we're doing the revisionist history.

Luka Doncic is widely considered the superior player long-term, though Young had a deep run that year.

Reggie Miller was right about resting Kevin Durant and James Harden in Game 6

Reggie Miller was right. If you forgot, Reggie Miller basically said after game five, rest Kevin Durant, James Harden for game seven. Don't even play them. They played. They lost.

The Nets lost both Game 6 and 7, but Miller's take was widely mocked as 'rest' isn't usually the strategy in close-out games.

Kevin Durant might be the best player in the NBA

If you lose in Game 7 and Kevin Durant does what he did in Game 5... there's some piece in, like, that guy's way better than anyone we have. That guy might be the best player in the NBA.

This is subjective, as the 'best player' title is debated among Durant, Giannis, and others, but Durant's 2021 playoff run is widely considered one of the greatest individual stretches in history.

Bryson DeChambeau is a 'pussy' for refusing to play with Brooks Koepka

Bryson sucks today. Brooks is awesome. Bryson sucks. Brooks was tied for the lead. And then because Bryson didn't want to play with Brooks because he's too big of a pussy to do it, he had to play with a harder course in the afternoon, which basically skulls fucked him.

Whether he is a 'pussy' is subjective, but it was reported Bryson's camp requested they not be paired together.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
