The Celtics could beat the Cavaliers if LeBron James gets hurt

That's kind of what Hank said last week about the Celtics, that they could beat the Cavs if LeBron James got hurt. [Hank]: True.

LeBron remained healthy and the Cavs beat the Celtics 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Eastern Conference is hilariously weak

The Eastern Conference is so hilarious. I don't want to say that it's a weak conference overall. [But] it kind of is. It always seems the teams that LeBron gets to play in the first two rounds are always those red teams... and they're the easiest teams in the world to sweep through.

The Eastern Conference was widely considered inferior to the Western Conference during this entire era, with LeBron's teams often facing little resistance until the Finals.

The Raptors are a joke of a franchise

I got a little heat back from my take the other day that the Raptors are just a joke of a franchise. I don't mean it in a mean way. It's just facts are facts. When you think of the Raptors, you think of Vince Carter winning a dunk title and then getting swept.

The 2017 Raptors were swept by the Cavaliers. Until 2019, they were consistently 'LeBronto'd'.

An NBA series doesn't actually start until the road team wins a game

Everyone's going to win on their home court... The series technically hasn't started unless the road team wins. [Big Cat]: That's when the series starts.

This is a subjective framing of a series, not a verifiable fact, though it's a common sports cliché.

The DMV is the worst line to wait in

DMV. Great pick. That's gotta be one one. Gotta be because it goes out of order too. Yeah. That bullshit. It is. Pick number sucks.

Subjective opinion on waiting in line.
