The 2017 Cavaliers were the most talented team to ever underachieve in the regular season

I still do believe to this day our most talented team and you know, we lost 4-1 in the finals... I truly do believe that we were probably the most talented underachieving team in regular season almost ever like if you look at us on paper you say, oh they should win 60 plus Games every year.

Subjective historical assessment of team talent vs performance.

The Rockets-Lakers series will be a 'Frankenstein series' where Mike D'Antoni's Mickey Mouse basketball beats LeBron James

I really, really want to see the Rockets versus the Lakers because that is a Frankenstein series... Rockets are going to play no one over 6'6" and the Lakers are going to play everyone over 6'10"... D'Antoni's system is Mickey Mouse basketball, but it's still going to beat the Lakers.

The Lakers beat the Rockets 4-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Kyrie Irving has to step up for Dallas to have any chance in Game 3

My boy, Kyrie Irving really has to step up in game three... tomorrow game three is, is is the series. They have to win that one. But in order for that to happen, Kyrie has to be himself and he just wasn't in, in those first two games. It's as simple as that.

Kyrie did score 35 points in Game 3, but Dallas still lost 106-99, effectively ending the series.

The top five players in the world are Jokić, Luka, SGA, Embiid, and Giannis

Top five in the world. It's very important. I think Joker is, yeah, yeah. Joker is, but I'm always like all things considered... Joker is up there, certainly Luca, SGA and bead, Giannis.

Standard subjective 'top 5' ranking based on recent MVP voting and performance.

A healthy Joel Embiid would have led the 76ers to a win over the Knicks

Joel, when he's at in peak form. Yeah. And he's feeling good. Like if he was healthy throughout the playoffs, I, I believe that they, they do beat the Knicks.

Embiid played with knee issues and Bell's palsy, and the Sixers lost in 6. It's a plausible but unprovable counterfactual.
