Joel Embiid will play in the next series despite his knee injury

He'll be ready to go. I know Docs have given the whole 50-50 that he's gonna play. [Doc Rivers is saying] he's not gonna play. [I'm saying] he's gonna fucking play.

Embiid missed Game 1 of the Celtics series but returned for Game 2.

Dillon Brooks is an all-time fraud and a fake tough guy

Dylan Brooks is an all-time fraud. He is a fraud. He's a fake tough guy. He decided that he wanted to be a villain... but you have to at least own up to the fact that not only did you touch LeBron James in the penis, but you also shot your team out... You are a complete fraud when it comes to this stuff.

The Grizzlies eventually lost the series and then moved on from Brooks in the offseason, citing the 'poked the bear' situation.

Dillon Brooks has not demonstrated the body of work required to be a real NBA villain

You can't just say like, I'm a villain now. That's too, it's, you have to demonstrate a body of work to become a villain. And he hasn't done that yet. He's not built up the rap sheet necessary to become a true villain.

This is a subjective assessment of Brooks' career trajectory as a heel.

You cannot win high-level basketball with Spencer Dinwiddie as a focal point

If you actually play with [Spencer Dinwiddie], you realize like, this dude, we cannot win with this guy.

The Nets were swept in the series with Dinwiddie as a primary option.

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
