The Celtics' Game 1 win over the Pacers was a 'wake-up call win,' which is the best kind of win

It was a wake up call win, which are the best types of wake up calls... they overcame, they were stumbling at the end of the fourth quarter, couple of really bad turnovers. Jalen Brown was not playing good in the fourth quarter. And then he came up clutch when it mattered most.

The Pacers' Game 1 loss to the Celtics is the most demoralizing loss possible

This seems like the most demoralizing loss possible. The Pacers had the game won and they gave it away. And when you give a game away like that in the last like 20 seconds, it feels like even if it goes into overtime, there's nothing good that's gonna happen to you.

I predict the Celtics will blow out the Pacers in Game 2

Blowout wake up call. Celtics. They've been woken up. This was the perfect ending. It was a wake up call win.

The San Antonio Spurs would have won Game 2 of the NBA Finals if they could just grab a rebound.

The Spurs couldn't get any freaking rebounds. And I think three different times in the second half of game two, I think three different times the Knicks got an offensive rebound and hit a three. I mean that is just backbreaking... No rebounds, no rings. If the Spurs just get some rebounds, they win that game.

The Miami Heat are a strong contender to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I think, I think Miami is a strong contender to trade for him at this moment. I think there are some other teams that are, can and will make compelling offers leading up to the draft. But I think Giannis, that's a place where I think Giannis wants to play.

LeBron James might not even play basketball next season.

I still have not heard definitively LeBron's playing next year. Now is he probably gonna play... I would say I think he's gonna play, but like, people have got him in a minimum with the calves and starting opening night, and I'm not even sure he is playing.
