Celtics will beat the Pacers in 5 games

Celtics in five... I could see maybe going six, but definitely not seven.

The Celtics swept the Pacers 4-0. Hank's prediction of a gentleman's sweep was close, but the Celtics were actually even more dominant.

The Celtics are effectively the NBA champions now that the Nuggets have been eliminated

Congratulations to Hank. Boston Celtics are NBA Champs. Because the nuggets are out. The only real competition that they had.

The formula for the Timberwolves to win is for Anthony Edwards to not score at all in the first half

When [Anthony Edwards] is held below five points in the first half of the game, the timber wolves are seven and one this season. ... So he just gotta not score, just have him not score at all in the first half and then you're good.

Hot Take Basketball HotSarcastic

While the stat was true at the time, purposefully having your star player not score is obviously not a sustainable winning strategy.

The Timberwolves are for real after beating the Nuggets in Denver

I couldn't be more impressed with, with the wolves. This series was just, it was the anti Minnesota series... they win the game somewhat convincingly. 'cause they were up 10 with like three minutes left and it was over in, in the Nuggets building. They win three games in Denver. I mean, what a what a what a performance. They're they're for real.

Opinion Basketball Mild

The Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals, confirming they were 'for real' that season.
