The Raptors 'wasted' a rare 30-point performance from Kyle Lowry by losing Game 1 to the Bucks

Kyle Lowry had 30 points. He was unconscious. And you wasted your Kyle Lowry game. You don't get a lot of those. Giannis didn't play well. The Bucks didn't play well for the first three quarters... And you still somehow lose by eight points.

The Raptors did lose Game 1 despite Lowry's 30 points, and while they eventually won the series, losing a game where a secondary star peaks is a valid 'wasted' opportunity in the moment.

Seth Curry is a better pure shooter than Steph Curry

The narrative I'm going to get going is Seth Curry is the better pure shooter than Steph Curry... The better pure guy. Steph has to create his own shot. Seth is much better off the pick... Seth is better away from the ball.

While Seth has a higher career 3P%, Steph is widely considered the greatest shooter ever due to volume and difficulty; this is a deliberately provocative and largely incorrect take.

The Warriors are Draymond Green's team

The Warriors are a lot of fun to watch right now and I'm gonna say it it's Draymond's team... He had 16, 10, and 7 was everywhere. He is the heartbeat of the Warriors. He unlocks Steph Curry to score 37 points.

The Warriors' identity is inextricably linked to Steph Curry, but Draymond is widely considered the defensive/emotional leader.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
