The Mavericks will win because Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić are better closers than the Celtics' stars

I think that this is gonna be a very close series. It's going to come down to very tight games at the end. And one team has two guys that have proven to be excellent closers against very good teams in this playoffs. And the Celtics have looked a little Iffy.

The Celtics won comfortably in 5 games, and their stars performed well.

Karl-Anthony Towns is the hardest player in the NBA to fully get behind and root for.

If you're a Timberwolves fan, I, God bless you because you are, you have to root for Karl-Anthony Towns. He must be so infuriating to root for. I'm just saying he, he is probably the hardest player to fully delude yourself into getting behind in the [NBA].

Whether a player is 'hard to root for' is entirely subjective.

The Timberwolves lost Game 5 the moment they decided to wear their 'terrible' alternate jerseys.

The Timberwolves... you lost the game the minute you went with those jerseys. It's terrible. Jerseys terrible. Max, I saw your face... those are not back against the wall jerseys. No, those are game two jerseys. Preferably a game two of the season in October.

The impact of jersey choice on game outcome is a matter of humor and superstition.

Karl-Anthony Towns cannot claim to be the best big man shooter of all time because he lacks post moves.

Karl-Anthony Towns is a self-proclaimed best big man shooter of all time. I feel like you have to have post moves, like really good post moves to be able to say that, to claim that. Otherwise, you're just a tall shooter. There's a difference between being tall and being a big man.

This is a subjective definition of what constitutes a 'big man' in basketball.

The 76ers could be special

This team is fucking awesome. Yeah, and I am so down to get my heart ripped out because it's incredible what I'm watching. The 76ers team could be special.

The 76ers' 2026-27 season and playoff performance will show whether this team was genuinely special.

The Eagles Aren't an NFL Team Right Now

It's not an NFL football team right now. There's just not very many good football players on that football team right now.

This is an intentionally broad evaluation of the Eagles' current quality and is subjective.

The Eagles should have trusted their defense and kicked it out of the end zone

You just kick it out of bounds. You kick it into the end zone. All you have to do at that point is defend the sideline. Anything in play is game over. And the defense has been so fucking good all game. Why are you overthinking it? Just fucking do it. Put the ball in the fucking end zone and trust your fucking defense.

This is an evaluative coaching opinion that cannot be definitively judged.
