The NBA rigged Game 3 of the Sixers-Nets series to extend it

No, I mean it, it was just blatant at halftime. There was, there was something that happened. There was something that happened at halftime... The Nets had zero fouls in the second half until five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. It was insane. They obviously wanted a series they wanted, but they wanted the game to go more than four games.

The Sixers won the game and the series (sweep), making the 'rigging' ineffective if it existed.

Game 3 against the Grizzlies is LeBron James' first true legacy game

It is now, I'm gonna say it right now. Game three for LeBron is a legacy game. His first ever legacy game. His entire legacy if he doesn't score 40.

The Lakers won Game 3 and LeBron had a solid game (25 pts), though he didn't score 40. The Lakers eventually won the series, preserving his legacy for that round.

Karl-Anthony Towns is the 'worst best guy' in the NBA

Is Karl Anthony Towns just the, the worst like, best guy in the league. He's gotta be right. He probably the worst, best... He's so good. And he also sucks at the exact same time, right? He's the yeah, he's the best player that sucks.

This is a recurring theme for KAT, who often puts up big stats but struggles with foul trouble and consistency in high-stakes games.

The Warriors will win the next four games and sweep the rest of the Kings series

Or the Warriors a sweep from here on out. I was feeling that once you, once you, once you in PFT, once it got past like five minutes of Pro King stuff... this just screams warriors in the next four.

The Warriors won the series, but they didn't sweep the rest of the games. It went to a Game 7.

Daryl Morey is a good talent evaluator but a bad team builder

Daryl Morey has done a lot of good things for the future of the 76ers... He is a very good drafter... He's very good at evaluating talent. He's not very good at putting a team together, which is probably pretty important for a GM.

This is a subjective assessment of a GM's career tenure.

The Bucks would be idiotic not to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo now

You gotta turn the page and this is the best way to do it. 'Cause you can get real, you get real [picks] and like jumpstart your next chapter. You gotta trade him. You have to, it would be idiotic not to trade him at this point.

Subjective team-building philosophy.

I didn't want the Sixers to make the playoffs because this iteration of the team is bad

This isn't a good team. They're not a good basketball team. I don't know what happened in the Celtics series, but this is who we thought they were. I didn't want to make the playoffs because I didn't want watch this iteration of the Sixers. This team is bad.

While the Sixers were swept, they were a playoff team, making 'bad' a relative term of frustration.
