The winner of the Celtics vs. Sixers series will go to the NBA Finals

Obviously now I would say whoever wins the Sixers-Celtics series is going to go to the finals. But the whole time I was like with the Celtics, they're gonna smoke whoever wins [Heat-Knicks] series.

The Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals to advance to the NBA Finals.

If James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game

I'm a big believer and if James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game. Give him a nice little sit and then it's back to Philly. I'm sure that James Harden will be great in game seven like he always is.

Harden followed a 42-point Game 4 with 17 points in a Game 5 win, then struggled in Games 6 and 7. The take is satirically proven right by his inconsistency.

Jayson Tatum is better than Joel Embiid in the playoffs

[Jayson Tatum] is the best player on the court. He's better than Joel Embiid. I'm sorry, like in playoffs, Joel Embiid, he had a very good game, but the fourth quarter he looked like the most gassed person in the world.

Tatum outplayed Embiid in Game 7 of this series to advance, supporting the claim for this specific postseason.

Players should not be allowed to take a charge if they are covering their genitals

You should not be allowed to take a charge if you're covering your nuts... How can you play defense if you're covering up your balls? You can't make a play on the ball if your hands are on your own balls.

This is a philosophical stance on basketball officiating rules.

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.
