I would fire Joe Mazzulla right now before Game 4

If I were you, Hank, I would want to fire [Joe] Mazzulla right now before Game 4. Get Brad [Stevens] in there.

Mazzulla was not fired; he remained the coach and eventually won the 2024 NBA title.

Boston as a city does not have what it takes to come back from down 3-0

No teams ever come back down from three-oh in the NBA. I don't think Boston as a city has what it takes to come down from three-oh.

The Celtics did force a Game 7 but lost at home, so they did not complete the comeback. No NBA team has ever successfully come back from 3-0.

Heat Culture is the strongest strain of culture in the world

Heat culture. I know I declared it dead... ever since that moment, I don't think there's been anything stronger in the world than heat culture. It is the strongest strain of culture out there.

The Heat made the NBA Finals as an 8th seed, validating the 'strength' of their culture during that run.

The Celtics would not have fired Ime Udoka if they knew how bad Joe Mazzulla would be

If they had known how bad Joe Mazzulla was gonna be and how bad the season would end, they would not have fired Ime [Udoka]. They'd be like, 'Okay, I'm gonna look the other way. He just fucked one person.'

This is a counter-factual opinion that can't be proven, but reflects the intense heat on Mazzulla after Game 3.

Garrett Bolles should catch a pass before he retires

I want to be able to bet on Garrett Bolles to have one reception in every game. Because I feel like Sean Payton is going to try to get him that touch. He definitely will because he doesn't want him to retire as the guy who never touched the ball.

It requires Garrett Bolles to record a touch before the end of his career; that has not been resolved here.

The Eagles' offense might be better without A.J. Brown

I actually think that the offense might be better without A.J. Brown.

Whether Philadelphia's offense performs better without A.J. Brown is a season-level comparative claim and is not reliably resolved here.

The Chargers should eliminate their kicking game and go for it every time

The Chargers should just not have a punter. They should not have a kicker. They shouldn't even have like a long snapper on the team. Use those positions on somebody else and you're just—burn the boats. You're just going for it all the time. Fuck it. Who cares? Right? Season's over. Might as well try to score some points.

This is a deliberately satirical roster-building proposal, not a prediction that can be objectively graded.
