Robert Williams is the most impactful player on the court for the Celtics

When Robert Williams [is out there], he's the most impactful player on the court. As many blocks as he has, he probably has so many more that just because his presence is there, [opponents] don't even try and take shots. He brings the energy for the Celtics.

Opinion Basketball Medium Subjective

Williams was arguably the most impactful defender in the series, leading both teams in blocks and altering numerous shots despite playing through significant pain.

Draymond Green is absolutely useless

My butthole is clenched. It was a very impressive performance from Steph Curry. He did everything for them. Klay Thompson, [Draymond]... I mean Klay played well, [Draymond's] absolutely useless.

Opinion Basketball Hot Subjective

While Green struggled offensively in Game 4, he remained a vital defensive anchor and eventually helped the Warriors win the title, making the 'useless' claim hyperbolic.

Draymond Green is the new Ben Simmons

[Draymond Green] is Ben Simmons... Steve Kerr deserves a ton of credit... for having the balls to pull Draymond out of the fourth quarter. Draymond Green does not want to shoot. He is Ben Simmons at this point where it's like, he could have a completely open look going towards the basket and he will pass it up.

Opinion Basketball Hot

While both players are elite defenders and playmakers who struggle to shoot, Draymond has a much higher competitive motor and has won four rings, whereas Simmons' career stalled due to lack of confidence and injuries.

The Celtics are still the better team than the Warriors

Hank's going to get mad at this comment, but I still think the Celtics are the better team. I mean, if you were looking for a bet after a loss, they've been undefeated this whole playoffs.

Opinion Basketball Medium

The Warriors won the series 4-2, winning three straight games after this take was made, effectively proving they were the better team.
