The Celtics will sweep the rest of the playoffs through the Eastern Conference Finals

We're the Boston Celtics. We're gonna beat the fuck out of 'em the next game. Beat the fuck out of 'em again. Beat the fuck out of 'em again. And then the Pacers and Knicks are both gonna be dead by the time they come to us. That's a clean sweep, clean sweep.

While the Celtics did dominate, they didn't 'clean sweep' everyone. They beat the Cavs 4-1 and then swept the Pacers 4-0 in the ECF. Since they lost Game 4 to the Cavs, the 'clean sweep' through the rest of the conference was incorrect.

Jayson Tatum has had nothing but success in his NBA career despite a lack of a ring

I think [the critics] are wrong. I think Jayson Tatum just gets picked on. He's had nothing but success in his NBA career. He hasn't won a championship, but he's still had an extremely successful beginning of his career.

Tatum has made multiple All-NBA teams and deep playoff runs, though 'nothing but success' is hyperbolic.

The Celtics will win Game 3 by exactly 33 points

Prediction for Saturday night: Win by 33. I guess a little, you know, you got an extra one. 101 [total series point differential].

The Celtics won by 13 points, not 33.

Rick Carlisle is being a 'gigantic baby' for his officiating complaints

The Pacers have had a bad whistle and they got, they got screwed up. I mean, game one that we, we talked about on Wednesday, that game one kickball call sucked. They've gotten a bad whistle. Rick Carlisle's being a gigantic baby.

This is a subjective characterization of Carlisle's coaching tactics.

The Philadelphia 76ers make the most basketball sense for LeBron James in free agency.

I think it's the Cavs, but I'm reading every report in hopes that it's a Sixers. So I, I just, in my heart of hearts, I can't support Cavs when I want it to be Sixers... Basketball wise, it makes the most sense for sure. I mean it's the one thing that the Sixers are missing. They need, like they don't have a, LeBron could be like a true point guard and be a facilitator for the good players on the, for the stars on the team. And he's a four that could defend multiple positions.

This is inherently subjective, as he is arguing about what makes the 'most sense' rather than strictly predicting where LeBron will sign.

Any man who asks for a blanket because he's cold isn't a real man

Any man who is, who is cold, you're not a man. Is not a man. Not a man. ... Or if they're like, oh, I'm cold. Do you have a blanket that I can use?

Anyone complaining about Bryce Harper being credited with a triple against the Diamondbacks doesn't know baseball

It was. They scored a triple. It was, it's a triple. ... He would've been thrown out for sure. Yeah. But it is a triple and anyone who's complaining about it being a triple does not know ball.

The official scorer did rule it a triple, making Max technically correct according to MLB records.
