Joe Mazzulla's authenticity is why he will be a great coach for a long time

I think that's one of the most important things about head coaches is the authenticity. Like guys can sniff through it immediately... that's just who he's, so I think that's why he's, he's gonna be a great coach for a long time.

Mazzulla led the Celtics to the 2024 NBA Championship shortly after this interview, validating the 'great coach' take.

The Pelicans would have beaten the Lakers if Zion Williamson had stayed in the game

I think the Pelicans win that game if Zion stays in the game. They had, Brandon Ingram wasn't good... and Zion was like, I'm putting the whole team on my back. And he almost beat the Lakers by himself.

The game was tied 95-95 with 3:13 left when Zion exited; the Lakers eventually won 110-106. While unprovable, it is a widely held 'what if'.

The Lakers are going to beat the Nuggets in their playoff series

I think they could beat the Nuggets... Championship experience, you know... [They've] got the best players of all time. Anthony Davis, All-Stars, All-NBA players. Why not?

The Nuggets defeated the Lakers 4-1 in the first round of the 2024 playoffs.

The Sacramento Kings have no chance against the Oklahoma City Thunder if they match up in the playoffs

I don't think that they [the Kings] have a chance against the Thunder, but I want them to be good.

The Kings were eliminated in the play-in tournament by the Pelicans, so they never faced the Thunder in the playoffs.

The Nuggets' championship window is closing

I think that the Nuggets do, but this window's closing just because all this injury stuff, I think once you start to have that injury bug, it's hard to come back and just have your whole team be relatively healthy for a whole season.

The Nuggets' subsequent championship success in this roster era will determine whether the window was effectively closing.

NBA awards voting should be handled by a smaller group

Maybe you just take the pool down of the number of voters. ... I don't know. I don't know what the answer is, but I do think maybe you just take the pool down.

This is a proposed policy preference, not a claim with a single objective answer.
