It would be better for the future of the Mavericks if they lose Game 7 to the Suns

I'll take it one step further. How's this for take, it would actually be better for the future of the Dallas Mavericks. If they lose this game. ... if they had gotten blown out in the second round, then I feel like mark Cuban would kind of like have to go nuclear and try to put something good together and get like an awesome player to team up with Luca to take that next step.

Subjective. However, the Mavs made the WCF and eventually traded for Kyrie Irving later, suggesting they didn't need a total nuclear option after that run.

The James Harden for Ben Simmons trade was a lose-lose for both teams

I think you go back to the trade and neither team won. It was the classic lose-lose trade, like both teams in, in a weird way, got a little bit worse from this trade.

Both teams struggled significantly post-trade; Simmons barely played for Brooklyn and Harden eventually forced his way out of Philly after more playoff disappointment.

I am the last person in the world who still believes in Ben Simmons

I'm, I'm, I'm the one sucker alive that still believes in Ben Simmons. So I'm like nets could still get some out of them. Crazy, stupid irrational. So I'm not giving up on Ben Simmons. I'm the last person in the world because I'm like six, 10 point cards don't grow on trees.

Ben Simmons' career continued to decline due to injuries and mental hurdles, making the belief that he could still be an elite piece incorrect.

Doc Rivers has had zero impact on the 76ers since arriving

Dr. Rivers got there. He's been there for two years... they've literally just gone. It was like, they, they they've been just doing the same thing year after year after year, Dr. Rivers has had no impact on it. They were on the exact same trajectory and he's like, we were a mess when I got here, but I fixed it all to get us right back to where we were.

The Sixers continued to struggle with second-round exits and eventually fired Doc Rivers in 2023, largely confirming the stagnation narrative.

The Rams' Australia travel plan was an all-time 'fuck it' move

It was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do, but I have to respect how much of an all-time fuck-it move it was to just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what, fuck it, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out.

The Rams lost the Australia opener after using the fly-in/fly-out approach, supporting the criticism in this game-specific judgment.

KOC will get the best out of Kyler Murray

I think that what he's gonna get the absolute best outta Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

Kyler Murray's 2026 season and Minnesota's performance will determine whether this forecast holds.

Jayden Daniels is going to remind everyone that the bad man is back

I think Jayden Daniels, he's as healthy as he has been since the start of last season. ... I think that he's gonna remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back.

Daniels' 2026 season will determine whether he re-established himself as an elite or feared quarterback.
