Bam Adebayo defers too much to Jimmy Butler when they are on the floor together

I do think that there is something to the fact that like when Jimmy Butler, when he's on your team, like he has to be the alpha... and bam, we'll step into the dog roll when Jimmy's not there. But when he's around, he's always going to be the one that's like deferential to us and like lacks a little bit of confidence in himself because Jimmy's out there doing his Jimmy thing.

Subjective analysis of team chemistry and player psychology.

The Warriors might be Bulletproof and can come back from any deficit

The warriors might be the only team that can be Bulletproof... they can come back from anything.

The Warriors eventually won the 2022 NBA title, supporting the idea of their 'bulletproof' nature during this run.

The Mavericks' formula for winning is Luka Doncic scoring 28 while three other starters score in the high teens

That's the formula more [Mark] Cuban should just be like, Hey, every night Luka you go out there and you score 28 and also have like three other starters in the late teens, early twenties.

While this happened in Game 4, the Mavericks ultimately lost the series to the Warriors in five games, suggesting this 'formula' wasn't enough to overcome Golden State.

Robert Williams III is the most important defender on the Celtics

100%. If Robert Williams [III] was healthy all year, he would have been the defensive player [of the year].

Williams was elite but Smart won the award. Williams' career has since been hampered by the health issues Hank mentions.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
