Ben Simmons returning to the Nets lineup is actually better for the Celtics

This could be old takes exposed, but I think [Ben Simmons returning] is better for the Celtics... if they're not on the same page and like the third or fourth quarter, like you can't... it'll be really [weird].

Simmons never played, so we can't know if he would have hurt the Nets, but the Celtics easily won the series regardless.

Ben Simmons is ready to return for the Nets and just needs to pass the ball and play defense

I think I nailed this one. Cause Ben Simmons is coming back per Shams. They've just kept him on ice... Ben Simmons is ready to come back and yeah, he doesn't really have to do anything. All he has to do is be out on the court on defense and then just pass the ball on offense. That's it.

Ben Simmons did not play in the 2022 playoffs despite reports of a potential Game 4 return.

The Celtics will 'womp' (win in 5 games or less) the Nets in the first round

I think the Celtics are going to 'womp' the Nets... Five games either way [for the bet], I'm in. I'll be on your side, Hank.

The Celtics swept the Nets 4-0 in the first round, meeting the 'womping' criteria of 5 games or less.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
