The New York Knicks were a better team than the Boston Celtics in their playoff series

The Nicks were the better team than the Celtics. They're... a better team than the Celtics. I'm not gonna argue that right now because I was wrong too. I thought the Knicks, I did not think the Knicks would be in the Eastern Conference final.

The Knicks defeated the Celtics in the series described, making them literally the better team for that matchup.

The anticipation for a Game 7 is better than the actual Game 7

The anticipation for the game seven is way better than the actual game sevens. This is making me disagree with LeBron's take... I might be a game six guy. That's the new game seven.

Aaron Gordon is a beast for playing through a grade two hamstring injury

Aaron Gordon played in game seven with a grade two hammy. And if the Lakers were in this game, LeBron would still be two weeks away from coming back because LeBron, remember when he got hurt in the last game of the Laker season, they some, for some reason put out a timetable for his return, which no one needed or asked for.

The comparison of toughness is subjective, but Gordon did play through a significant hamstring injury during that playoff run.

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.
