Jayson Tatum is the safer bet for Finals MVP
I'm going Jayson Tatum folks... I think Jayson Tatum is going to win the MVP because the Celtics are only, I don't want a series of Jayson Tatum has a few more good games and his passing in particular guys has been great... He's just slightly more complete and slightly more important to the Celtic success.

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

He essentially turns really good offenses into terrible offenses... in these playoffs when he's on the court, the opponents have a offensive rating of 99.2. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means your team can't score for shit. It would be the worst offense in the NBA.
Victor Wembanyama is already the best defender of his generation
When we came into the league Big Cat, we were like, this guy is gonna be the best defender of his generation and he already is. It's incredible. And it's not just the blocks... it's a lot of invisible stuff that he does that just deter shots.
If Josh Hart hits his three-pointers consistently, the Knicks' offense becomes nearly unbeatable
If Josh Hart starts making threes, that's gonna put the Spurs in a tough position right away. And to your point, it might make The Knicks just unbeatable because The Knicks are the hottest offense in the league right now.
