The Houston Astros officially cursed the city of Houston

Do you think this has anything to do with the Houston Astros have now officially cursed the city of Houston? Because James Harden and now Deshaun Watson both want out of town... It all goes back to the Houston Astros and their cheating scandal.

The subsequent years saw the Rockets and Texans enter deep rebuilds with little success, though the Astros themselves remained a powerhouse, somewhat debunking a total city curse.

The Houston Rockets are the winners of the James Harden trade

The Rockets, actually, I will say are a winner just because James Harden was going to eat himself to 300 pounds, was not going to try... they got anything for him, and they got a lot. They got a lot of picks.

While the Rockets got many picks, the immediate return didn't yield a contender, and Harden's Nets tenure was a disaster, eventually making the trade look decent for Houston in hindsight.

The Nets will break the NBA scoring record

They're going to score 150 points a game... They could break the record. I think the record's like 250.

The NBA record for points in a game by one team is 186 (Detroit, 1983). The Nets never came close to 250.

Kyrie Irving is never coming back to this planet

What makes you think Kyrie Irving is ever going to come back to this planet?... [He has] gotten farther and farther off the reservation. And it just never happened. And he's gotten farther and farther off the reservation.

Kyrie eventually returned to play for the Nets, but his tenure continued to be marked by absences, controversy, and lack of postseason success before being traded to Dallas.

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.
