Jalen Brown complaining about flopping after losing game seven is loser talk

I gotta put my hand up on that one. That is sour grapes. That is loser talk. You just lost game seven and then not complain, but kind of bitch on that. That is a little bit of loser talk. If you're a good competitor, you're gonna be a sore loser. If you win the game, it's not a problem. Every shit happens in every NBA game that's ever been played.

Subjective judgment about sportsmanship - can't be definitively resolved.

Tyrese Maxey is a top 10 player in the NBA

Tyrese Maxey is a top 10 player in the NBA. And they're, I think it's pretty hard to debate right now, otherwise, because he has done it all year. ... This series, he proved himself to be a top 10 player in the NBA.

While Maxey is elite, top 10 is usually reserved for players like Jokic, Giannis, Luka, etc. Maxey is generally considered top 15-25.

Joel Embiid has successfully shifted his career narrative with this series win

I think Joel Embiid's narrative is shifting. Shifting but not [yet] shifted. ... Shifting-ING is different than -ED. Narrative shifted for sure. ... He's now shown that he's not like just a regular season guy. He's not a choker.

The narrative around Embiid has historically been centered on second-round failures and injuries; beating a -900 favorite Celtics team in Game 7 certainly impacts that.

Game six might be the last time we see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown play together

Was game six in this series the last time we will see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown play together?

Pending - whether Tatum and Brown remain teammates depends on offseason moves.

LIV Golf is effectively dead and the league will likely cancel its season before next year

I think Liv might be done. I mean, I think they were trying hard to find some new sponsors that looks like it's going a little harder than they expected. ... I think they canceled this event and it's looking like the league cancellation will probably happen at some point before next season.

LIV Golf continues to operate; this was a satirical bit.

Brad Stevens traded Jaylen Brown to the Sixers as a '4D chess' move to implode the team

I think that this could be the greatest thing that Brad Stevens has ever done. I think he's playing 4D chess. He knew what he was doing with the Jaylen Brown trade. And now with LeBron, like all the pressure's now on LeBron. Jaylen Brown didn't want to be a number two option with Boston. And now the Sixers, it's like he might be number four.

Requires seeing if the Sixers implode or win a championship.

The Boston Celtics are back to being scrappy underdogs after the Sixers signed LeBron

We're back to being the scrappy underdogs, which I feel like is where the Celtics thrives. So it's like everyone's expecting it's gonna be Knicks or Sixers. Everyone's forgetting about the Celtics. That's a fun spot to be in.
