The Suns are in a 'must-win' situation in Game 2 despite leading the series 1-0

In a series that is a seven-game series and the Suns are up 1-0... it felt like a must-win for the Suns. I think that the Suns needed to win this game, and it feels like history is repeating itself [with LeBron].

The Suns lost Game 2 but still went on to win the series 4-2, meaning it was not a 'must-win' as they overcame the loss.

The Lakers are unbeatable if Anthony Davis is making his three-pointers

Anthony Davis, if he doesn't make all those three-pointers, it's a much different game. You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is wet from three.

Davis shot just 18% from three in the series and the Lakers were eliminated in the first round.

LeBron James intentionally lets opponents win Game 1 in early playoff rounds to give them false confidence

If it's in the first or second round, [LeBron] is like, I'm going to let them get a little confidence, maybe run their way out of the series tonight. Let them try too hard in Game 1.

While LeBron has lost many Game 1s and won the series, attributing it to a deliberate psychological tactic is an unprovable opinion.

It was bullshit that Kristaps Porzingis was fined $50,000 while LeBron James faced no penalty for a similar COVID protocol incident

it was bullshit that Porzingis got fined $50,000 for doing what LeBron did. [LeBron] has like figured out when to pick his spots in these games... but it was bullshit that Porzingis got fined.

The NBA officially cleared LeBron of violating protocols while fining Porzingis, supporting the factual basis of the double standard claim.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
