The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round

The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round. I know there's been a lot of overtime games, but like you said, there's no Game 7s. And the NBA feels like... last year was really bad. This year, there have been some really compelling stories, and we have a lot of fights going on.

This is a subjective opinion comparing two different sports seasons.

I am more confident than ever that the Capitals will beat the Penguins

I'm more confident than i've ever been going into this [series]. We just beat a bunch of yahoos that dump gravy and cheese all over their fries. We can beat a city that puts it in their sandwiches.

The Capitals lost to the Penguins in 7 games in the 2017 second round.

Jeff Teague has been swept out of the playoffs by LeBron James for three consecutive years

I'm pretty sure Jeff Teague has been swept by LeBron three years in a row. That's amazing.

LeBron's teams swept Teague's Hawks in 2015 and 2016, and then Teague's Pacers in 2017.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
