In the playoffs, it is better to get blown out 6-0 than to lose 4-3 in overtime

Do you lend any credence to my theory that in the playoffs you'd rather get your ass kicked, like get smoked 6-0, than lose a 4-3 game in overtime because the close loss is so much more demoralizing because you think that you've got it, whereas with a 6-0 loss, you just say fuck it after you're down 4-0, and who really cares?

This is a psychological theory about sports momentum and cannot be objectively proven true or false.

Kevin Durant will come back for Game 7, save the Warriors, and win Finals MVP

I feel like this update is going to just be the update every single game. Kevin Durant's out for Game 4. Kevin Durant's out for Game 5. Until they get to Game 7 and he comes back and saves the Warriors and wins MVP.

Durant returned in Game 5, not Game 7, and suffered a season-ending Achilles injury; the Warriors lost the series in 6.

Kevin Durant is going to be out for the entire NBA Finals

I don't think that [Kevin Durant] is going to play. I think he's out for the whole series.

Durant did play 12 minutes in Game 5, so he wasn't technically out for the whole series, though he missed the vast majority of it.

Kawhi Leonard does not have a personality

Let's figure out the true Kawhi. Let's figure out what Kawhi is all about. Let's figure out if Kawhi has a personality. Turns out he doesn't.

Whether someone has a personality is entirely a matter of opinion.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
