Joel Embiid returning to the lineup will discombobulate the Sixers

I think that Embiid coming back at not a hundred percent will discombobulate them. I think it helps [the Celtics]. ... If Embiid comes back it's gonna discombobulate them enough for the Celtics to win.

The Celtics did win the series in seven games, though Embiid's return led to two Sixers wins (Games 4 and 5) before they collapsed in Game 7.

LeBron James might be better as a Robin than a Batman for the Lakers

I think what we're seeing is LeBron might be better as a Robin than he is as a Batman. They've got a true number one option finally on the Lakers in AD who looks healthier than we had predicted.

The Lakers did lean heavily on Davis during their 2023 WCF run, but the dynamic remains a shared leadership. LeBron's role as a playmaker makes the Batman/Robin dynamic subjective.

My fear of the Lakers making a championship run has reached a new level

My fear of LeBron and the Lakers making a championship run has elevated to another rung. So I do think this is gonna be a great series. I obviously, you know, like game one, especially the Warriors coming off of game seven, I don't know how they're gonna solve for the fact that the Lakers are just taller than them.

The Lakers did make a run to the Western Conference Finals, though they were ultimately swept by the Nuggets. Big Cat's fear was justified as they beat the defending champ Warriors.

NBA playoff teams should only wear their classic home and road jerseys

When you're in the playoffs, you wear your jerseys, you wear your classic jerseys, you wear your home, you wear your road. Like don't fuck it up. ... I don't want your city connect. I don't want your 17th Nike jersey. ... I do sound like an old man right now, but I want your classic jersey playing in the playoffs.

This is a matter of personal aesthetic preference and tradition.

This is the Knicks' championship to lose

This series is over. Right. And the Spurs Thunder series looks like it's going at least six, probably seven. Like it looks like an absolute battle. Yeah. So that's good for them. The Spurs all things, I mean, this is, this is the Knicks championship to lose.

The Knicks are currently in the second round/Conference finals (implied), so they haven't won the championship yet.

My official stance on the Toucher & Rich radio beef is simply 'fuck 'em'

I'm not leading this battle. They took a shot. I said fuck him. And that's where I stand... Official stance. So you guys can just fuck him.

Subjective personal stance.

I did not fart during the Kellen Moore interview; it was just air that fell out of my body

The sound did come out of me, my body. But it was not a conscious fart... Most farts air coming out of your asshole, max, most farts max have to push. Like most farts, you're like, this one fell out... I was not like, consciously like, oh, I got a fart. But when I lifted up my leg, I, I guess I had like gas down there... A dude came out of my ass. That was so loud.

It was definitively a fart.
