The Lakers were never winning a title because their roster was the problem, not coaching.
I still think that the roster is the problem that they just don't have enough guys. And the Nuggets were a better basketball team no matter how many minutes the Lakers led. Execution and being able to win games late is what makes the team better... They were a good team. They were never a great team.

Tyrese Maxey basically saved. Did Tyrese Maxey save his legacy while also a legacy game for [Embiid]? It was a double legacy game.
The Knicks/76ers Game 5 defense by Nicolas Batum on Jalen Brunson was game-defining.
Shout out to your guy [Batum] with incredible, incredible defense. Both at the end of regulation and the end of OT being able to stay with Jalen Brunson as he drive to the, to the hoop. And he had two huge, I think the first one was a block... those were, those were game defining plays.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot
They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.
