The NBA should judge flagrant fouls by whether the play would start a fight in a pickup game

I basically judge flagrant fouls. Would this foul start a fight in a pickup basketball game? That one [Dillon Brooks on Gary Payton II] would have started a fight instantly. Instantly. Not everyone who's played pickup basketball knows there's a difference.

This is a subjective standard for officiating.

The 'Many Womping' is officially back on for the Celtics

I was worried... but from my sources on the ground, inside the building, they said Grant Williams walked up to Giannis [Antetokounmpo]... the Many Womping is still backing up. I feel back. Many Womping back on.

The Celtics defeated the Bucks in the series 4-3 and advanced to the Finals, largely proving Hank's optimism correct.

The Celtics vs. Bucks series is going to go seven games

I think we all set it on Sunday when the [Bucks] won game one, we're like, this is going to be a seven games series. Both these teams are really, really good. And you expected an answer like this from the Celtics tonight because they're a really fucking good team.

The series did indeed go seven games, with the Celtics winning Game 7 to advance.

The betting line for Bucks-Celtics Game 2 was a 'total trap'

I actually like looked at the line beforehand and I was smart enough to be like the [Bucks] is a total trap. Do not bet the [Bucks]... I knew right away, I was like, that's pretty much the same line as Sunday after the [Bucks] beat them pretty soundly. That makes no sense.

The Celtics won comfortably and covered the spread, confirming the 'trap' for Bucks bettors.

Ohio State moved senior night because it is scared of Michigan

If you're saying, 'Hey, we can't do it for the Michigan game because it's something that's just totally different and separate unto itself,' do it the last home game before that, which would be Northwestern. But that senior night though should be—you'd basically just be saying, 'I'm scared of doing it against Michigan.'

This is an interpretation of Ohio State's motivation and cannot be definitively verified.

Wisconsin has to win eight games

He's gotta win eight. I think he would tell you he's gotta win eight. Because if you win seven, that means you probably lost to Penn State, Iowa, USC and UCLA or Minnesota, and it's like some of those are not okay.

Wisconsin's 2026 final record has not yet been determined.
