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.

England will beat the Netherlands and then lose a heartbreaking match to Argentina

I think England's gonna win this weekend. And then you'll have the realization that it might not actually be coming home after all... losing to Argentina at that stage, that would be the most heartbreaking loss they could possibly have.

Specific tournament outcome needs verification based on the actual 2026 bracket results.

Christian Pulisic is clearly not and cannot be the face of US soccer

I'm just sick of relying on him [Pulisic] to be the face of US soccer because it can't be, it's so clear that he's not.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's leadership/status.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.
