The Pacers will win Game 3 against the Knicks on Friday night

I think the Pacers will probably win on Friday night. Just based off, or is it Friday night or Saturday? I think it's Friday night... with the Knicks injuries, the Pacers will win game three.

The Pacers won Game 3 111-106 on May 10, 2024.

Jayson Tatum has had nothing but success in his NBA career despite a lack of a ring

I think [the critics] are wrong. I think Jayson Tatum just gets picked on. He's had nothing but success in his NBA career. He hasn't won a championship, but he's still had an extremely successful beginning of his career.

Tatum has made multiple All-NBA teams and deep playoff runs, though 'nothing but success' is hyperbolic.

The Celtics will win Game 3 by exactly 33 points

Prediction for Saturday night: Win by 33. I guess a little, you know, you got an extra one. 101 [total series point differential].

The Celtics won by 13 points, not 33.

The Celtics will sweep the rest of the playoffs through the Eastern Conference Finals

We're the Boston Celtics. We're gonna beat the fuck out of 'em the next game. Beat the fuck out of 'em again. Beat the fuck out of 'em again. And then the Pacers and Knicks are both gonna be dead by the time they come to us. That's a clean sweep, clean sweep.

While the Celtics did dominate, they didn't 'clean sweep' everyone. They beat the Cavs 4-1 and then swept the Pacers 4-0 in the ECF. Since they lost Game 4 to the Cavs, the 'clean sweep' through the rest of the conference was incorrect.

The Brewers are the best team in baseball

They're the best team at baseball all year, and they proved it. They absolutely decimated the Dodgers.

The Brewers had reached the World Series and were described in the episode as having the best regular season; whether they were definitively the best team is partly subjective.

Bo Nix's problem is getting bigger

The Bo Nix problem seems to be getting bigger and bigger. What are we watching?

This is a judgment about Nix's trajectory and the Broncos' confidence in him, not a binary factual prediction.

A 24-team playoff is ruining college football

We're moving to a 24-team playoff. It just sucks. We don't need 24 teams. Twelve is probably a stretch already. What made college football special was the regular season mattered so much.

Whether playoff expansion improves or harms college football is an evaluative judgment.
