The NBA rigged Game 6 for the Raptors over the Celtics to get a Game 7 for ratings

I'm feeling nervous. I'm not gonna lie. Game 6 was clearly like the NBA and I understand where the NBA is coming from where they need the best ratings we could possibly get. If we could tell the refs, just call everything against the Celtics so we can get a game 7 for ratings. I understand it. It was clearly the post-game report admitted everything that happened on the stretch that was supposed to get called against the Celtics didn't.

While the NBA admitted to officiating errors, there is no proof of a directive for ratings. The Celtics won Game 7 anyway.

There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop the Chiefs when their offense is humming

The Chiefs newsflash are really, really, really fucking good. Like I don't I don't think the Texans are as bad as they looked at times. I think the Chiefs are just really, really fucking good. Super Bowl champs for a reason. There's nothing that you could do to stop the Chiefs when their offense is humming like that. There's just there's absolutely nothing you can do.

The Chiefs went 14-2 and reached the Super Bowl again that season, and have remained the league's most dominant offense.

The Celtics are clearly the better team than the Raptors and the series should have been over in five games max

The Celtics have clearly been the better team in the series. They should have won game three. They should have won game six... I do think that the Celtics are the better team and it should have been a four game five game Max series.

The Celtics did eventually win Game 7 to advance, supporting the idea they were the better team, though it took the full 7 games.

The Lakers will win the Rockets series in a gentleman's sweep

The series is over. It's going to be gentleman's sweep for the Lakers. They are d-u-n done. James Harden picked it perfectly to suck in a playoff game because there was football on and no one cares.

The Lakers did indeed win the series 4-1, concluding with a Game 5 victory on September 12.

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