NBA teams from the 1990s would be killed by the Warriors because they didn't do cardio

Any team from the nineties that had to deal with the fucking pick and rolls and like the movement that the Warriors do, like they would die. NBA players didn't run. They didn't do cardio in the nineties. They would be killed on the court.

Era-to-era comparisons are inherently subjective, but the claim that 90s players 'didn't do cardio' is a hyperbolic generalization.

The Celtics will still win the NBA Finals because they perform best when their backs are against the wall

I still think [the Celtics] are going to win the series. I do think that the last 10 minutes of game four and five, there was just some infuriating plays... But I do think that it's very relatable of the Celtics to just put everything off until the end... They're procrastinating. And then when their backs are against the wall, that's when they perform the best.

The Golden State Warriors won the 2022 NBA Finals in Game 6.

Neither the Warriors nor the Celtics are truly great teams compared to historical NBA champions

Is there a chance that neither of these teams are that great? I keep thinking that one team's going to assert themselves one or the other. And it's like, both these teams are very good. I'm saying neither of these teams are like, great... whoever wins this, I'm not going to walk away and be like, that team was one of the best championship teams I've ever seen.

This is a subjective historical comparison that cannot be definitively proven.

Robert Williams III is the most impactful player on the Celtics

Robert Williams is by far the best player on the Celtics. You can see it too, when he's on the court. The difference, the respect that the Warriors show him by not driving the lane and attacking the rim versus when he's off the court.

While subjective, Williams' advanced stats often backed this up during the 2022 run, though he was limited by injury.

Tom Brady could still throw for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in the NFL right now

Tom Brady... It's football. They had the flag football event this past weekend. Tom Brady played in it. I mean, he could go out next year in the league and probably get 4,000 yards, 30 touchdowns.

Brady is 48 and retired; the likelihood of him returning and putting up elite stats is nearly zero.

Aaron Judge is an absolute choke artist who delivered nothing for Team USA

Aaron Judge, like you knew he was striking out. And he did. He's an absolute joke, absolute choke artist. Expected nothing else from him and he delivered nothing.

This reflects the consensus opinion of the hosts following the game's outcome as described in the show.
