The Warriors need their role players to contribute if they want to win any more games in the Finals

They need their role players. If they're going to win games. It's like Steph, I mean, cause Steph and clay are the only ones that can score, but if they just do them up, like it's, I think they should win.

The Warriors did get key contributions from Wiggins, Looney, and GP2 in the final games, validating the idea that they needed more than just the Splash Brothers.

There will definitely be a Game 6 in the NBA Finals

I do think there will be a game six, unfortunately. Very scared about game four.

Correct. The series went to 6 games, with the Warriors winning in Boston.

The Celtics would have won by now if they didn't constantly throw up stinkers and let down in the third quarter

The Celtics, like what they have gotten better at over the season... they still do it to an extent it happened in the third quarter as they just we'll just let down. And all of a sudden they have terrible runs... they just throw up stinkers. I think that's been, it's been the most, it was like this in Milwaukee series, like this, the Miami series.

The Celtics did have a tendency to lose leads and play inconsistent stretches, famously blowing several big leads in this specific Finals series before ultimately losing to the Warriors.

The Warriors are impossible to beat if Steph Curry and Klay Thompson both have a night where they're 'on' from start to finish

If those two guys make all their shots, if they get to a night where they're both on, then they're pretty much impossible to beat. It doesn't matter how good the Celtics can play... but they're not going to be able to do that. Like that's not, it's impossible for them to sustain that type of basketball.

While Klay was inconsistent, Steph had a legendary series (including 43 points in Game 4) that ultimately proved the Warriors were not only beatable but capable of outplaying the Celtics' defense.

Roman 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.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

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.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
