The NBA Finals will be a 7-game series between the Warriors and Celtics

I said warriors in seven on Tuesday and I've like, ever since that moment, I've just everything that's gone in. My head has been like, I think the seltzers are going to win, but I'm going to stay. I'm sticking with warriors.

The Warriors won the series 4-2, so the winner was correct but the game count was off.

The Warriors' lack of adjustment against Peyton Pritchard in the 4th quarter was a massive mistake

I don't understand what the warriors were doing where like Peyton Pritchard was on Steph Curry because Marcus smart was on the bench and they didn't attack Peyton Pritchard the entire fourth quarter. It was crazy. Like they just didn't, they, I don't know why they didn't attack him.

The Warriors famously struggled in that 4th quarter, and Pritchard was indeed on the floor for much of the run without being targeted successfully.

The Golden State Warriors might be done after losing Game 1 to the Celtics

I actually believe that... the rest, you know, they're done. Yeah. They might be done. I think they might be done when they're done. I think they might be done. I really do think the way they lost this and the fact that the Celtics, like I know that they're their shot-making... what the Celtics can rely on and what they do better than anyone else is, they locked down on defense.

The Warriors were far from done; they won the series 4-2, winning three straight games to close it out.

Draymond Green's offensive game has completely disappeared compared to the 2016 era

Has there been a solid offensive player that has gone downhill as much as Draymond Green? ... Back in 2015, 2016, he was a good third option for the Warriors. ... Now it just looks like he's allergic to the ball.

Statistically, Green's shooting percentages and scoring volume dropped significantly from his peak years to the 2022 season.

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.
