The Celtics losing to the Cavs after blowing a big fourth-quarter lead is the definition of a 'start of the championship DVD' loss

That was the definition of a start of the championship DVD loss against the Cavs late in the season. They got complacent. They blew a huge fourth quarter lead... That was a good wake up call game.

The Celtics did go on to win the 2024 NBA Championship, making this 'wake up call' narrative accurate in retrospect.

The Murray State Racers are the worst team in the country

I wish someone had told me that Murray State Racers were the worst team in the country. Oh, did they? Fuck you. Oh man, they fucked me bad.

Murray State finished with a KenPom ranking of 199 out of 362, making them roughly average, not the worst.

Tennessee and Houston are my two picks to win the NCAA Tournament

I'm heavily leveraged in the Volunteers this year. I think Tennessee and Houston are my two picks.

Both teams failed to win the title. Houston lost in the Sweet 16 and Tennessee lost in the Elite 8. UConn won the tournament.

Dalton Knecht might get shoved around by physical teams in March

Watching him play last night, I was thinking to myself like, I could see [Dalton Knecht] getting shoved around in March. I could see like a physical team just like, whoa, Houston putting the, yes, exactly. I could see a tough team like Houston, Kelvin Sampson being like, go out there and beat the fuck outta the skinny guy.

Knecht actually performed well in March, scoring 37 points in the Elite 8 loss to Purdue, showing he could handle physicality.

Tom Brady helping Mike Macdonald prepare for the Patriots would be a huge slap in the face to the New England region.

That would be egregious if that was true. I don't believe it is true. But if it were, that would be unforgivable. Not unforgivable. That would be a, a blemish, a big blemish. Big time. It'd be a slap in the face of the whole region.

Subjective opinion on how a hypothetical rumor would be perceived.

Jayson Tatum is playing cute by claiming he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade on social media.

I'm sure he knew that he was on the trading block and he didn't know specifically when he got traded and he found out just like everyone else... all Brad Stevens, Jaylen Brown, they talked about how, you know, he was gonna be on the trading block and they were gonna try and move him. So I'm sure Jayson Tatum was also aware of that. But in terms of, he's probably playing a little, a little cutesy there where like no one specifically told him, 'Hey, this is the trade.' He found out like everyone else. But I'm sure he was not surprised and fully aware what the plan was.

Subjective interpretation of Tatum's PR framing.

The Celtics have another major move coming following the Jaylen Brown trade

There's something going on here. I I said it to Max on the boat yesterday. I was like, Jalen Brown was getting traded. I could, I could just feel it. I could feel it coming... I feel like the Paul George thing is, there's the, like, they might be doing another trade. There's another move coming.

The trade just happened in the fictional 2026 timeline provided; further moves are pending.
