The Celtics can still beat the 76ers, Bucks, and Raptors in a playoff series
The thing with the Celtics and the thing with the Eastern Conference is that, yes, the Celtics are kind of a dumpster fire right now... but I could still see a situation where the Celtics could beat the Sixers, they could beat the Bucks, they could beat the Raptors. And all it takes is you need to win one series, and then it's like everything going forward.

View episodeLeBron James is tanking the Lakers' season to lure Kevin Durant to Los Angeles
The one thing I'm keeping an eye on here, I think LeBron might be tanking this season on purpose because KD is going to want to do the opposite thing that he did last time he was a free agent. He wants to go to perhaps the worst team in the league. Right now that looks like the Los Angeles Lakers because they just lost to the worst team in the league two nights ago. So I think that this is LeBron James setting up a long, long proposition here.
The Lakers are officially dead and will not make the playoffs
The Lakers, I'm done chaining them. They are five and a half games back with 18 games to play. They basically have to run the table. They have no chance. They have to run the table to sneak into that last spot. So this is going to be a total failure.
Kyrie Irving's weird behavior is just a quarter-life crisis
My take on this is that Kyrie Irving, he's 26 years old, and I think this is actually a very relatable thing. Stars are just like us. The quarter-life crisis. Kyrie Irving's going through his quarter-life crisis. Everyone hits that point in your mid to late 20s where you're like, what's the meaning of life?

View profileRoman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.
Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.
AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots
[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.
UConn can't win the championship
I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.
