The Celtics are a seasoned team that has overcome their past tendencies to 'turtle up' in close games

The Celtics are a seasoned team that knows how to make big plays and that's what they did time and time again in this series. In the past when it feels like they turtle up in close games... they didn't do that at all. They found a way to win.

The Celtics did indeed sweep the Pacers and won multiple close games in the series, supporting Hank's observation of their improved 'clutch' gene.

Bill Walton died because his work on earth was done once the Pac-12 ended

The Pac-12 ends, Bill's like, well my work here is done. [He's] probably hanging out with Jerry Garcia right now and the Pac-12 is on 24/7.

Bill Walton did pass away shortly after the final Pac-12 sporting events, making this a humorous but verifiable coincidence.

The NBA Finals schedule is idiotic for making fans wait until June 6th regardless of when the conference finals end

I'm rooting for double sweep just so we can make fun of the NBA scheduling. Fans have to book their hotels and tickets months ago... there's no way an NBA fan books their hotels and plane tickets for the Finals months in advance. It doesn't make any sense.

The NBA Finals did in fact start on June 6th, despite both conference finals series being short (sweep and 5 games).

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are the best offensive backcourt of all time

Kyrie and Luka, the best offensive backcourt of all time. And people laughed at [Kenny the Jet Smith] and then they played three games and they're like, maybe he's not that far off.

The Mavs reached the Finals on the strength of this backcourt, but 'all time' is subjective and highly debated.

Jaylen Brown will not have hard feelings if he stays with the Celtics despite being offered in trades

If [Jaylen Brown] knows Brad Stevens is trying to do right by him. If it doesn't happen, he's not gonna come back and play like, oh, this is bullshit. I'm back on this team. It's gonna be like, yeah, didn't work out now. But, you know, I'm back, I'm back with his team. Let's, like, he still loves Jayson Tatum, he still loves City Boston Celtics.

Subjective assessment of a player's internal feelings, though his future actions might indicate otherwise.
