The Knicks would never have beaten the Celtics even if healthy

Would I have loved for it to be, you know, Mr. Bing Bong versus Hank? I mean, yeah... the Celtics look, they would've never beaten the Celtics. It was just fun to get in Hank's face.

Hypothetical scenario that never occurred due to the Knicks losing to Indiana.

The Celtics are effectively the NBA champions now that the Nuggets have been eliminated

Congratulations to Hank. Boston Celtics are NBA Champs. Because the nuggets are out. The only real competition that they had.

The Celtics did win the 2024 NBA Championship after the Nuggets were eliminated by the Timberwolves.

The formula for the Timberwolves to win is for Anthony Edwards to not score at all in the first half

When [Anthony Edwards] is held below five points in the first half of the game, the timber wolves are seven and one this season. ... So he just gotta not score, just have him not score at all in the first half and then you're good.

While the stat was true at the time, purposefully having your star player not score is obviously not a sustainable winning strategy.

The Timberwolves are for real after beating the Nuggets in Denver

I couldn't be more impressed with, with the wolves. This series was just, it was the anti Minnesota series... they win the game somewhat convincingly. 'cause they were up 10 with like three minutes left and it was over in, in the Nuggets building. They win three games in Denver. I mean, what a what a what a performance. They're they're for real.

The Timberwolves reached the Western Conference Finals, confirming they were 'for real' that season.

Winning a championship feels better than the 'emptiness' Joe Mazzulla describes

Coach Mazzulla in his press conference said something about feeling empty when he won and feeling empty when he lost. ... I'm not a psychiatrist, but winning feels better. It's just my take.

This is a subjective emotional comparison, though most people would agree winning is preferable.

The Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini relationship should be considered a workplace relationship under the NFL umbrella

Is this a workplace relationship? I believe under that [NFL] umbrella. I can't imagine that HR is not involved in this situation.

Technically they have different employers (The Athletic/New York Times vs. New England Patriots), but the 'conflict of interest' is a journalistic standard rather than a standard HR workplace rule.

Saquon Barkley 'fucked' the fantasy team and wasn't clutch

We're never drafting an Eagle ever again. Max. It's over Saquon. Hey Max. Saquon fucked us hard this season. He fucked us real hard. He was our first pick... Championship game. Championship game... He fucked us so hard. Max so hard.

Barkley's performance is a matter of fantasy record, but the assessment of him 'fucking' the team is Jerry's opinion.
