Luka Dončić will be in great shape when he returns for the 2025-26 NBA season.

Apparently [Luka Dončić] is back home and he's doing like a local diet and he's using like local people to get in shape. I can only assume that means just like vodka and cigarettes, which is way, way lower carb than like barbecue and beer, which is what I assume he was taking in all the time down in Texas. I choose to believe that Luca's gonna be in great shape when he comes back next [season].

Prediction Basketball Medium

Luka Doncic did get in great shape for the 2025-26 season with the Lakers (traded from Dallas in Feb 2025). He lost over 20 pounds through intermittent fasting and a strict diet, going from ~270 lbs to 244 lbs. LeBron James praised his improved quickness.

Carl Anthony Towns is at his best when he remembers he is seven feet tall and can drive to the rim

You know when Carl Anthony Towns is going to that next level where he realizes, oh yeah, I'm seven feet. I could just go to the rim and score on these guys. It feels like the threes happen, he can get into that groove of threes after he reminds himself like, oh yeah, I can drive on these guys. He got like a big and one and it almost like unlocked something in his brain. He's like, I'm Carl Anthony Towns. I'm big purr.

The Knicks have been playing better without Jalen Brunson this series

For some reason, the series, [the Knicks] are just playing better without [Jalen Brunson]. This series. They have been playing better without him when he is off the court.

Hot Take Basketball Fire

While potentially backed by some net-rating numbers in specific stretches, suggesting the Knicks are better without their MVP candidate is widely considered incorrect.

The Stanley Cup and NBA Finals should be scheduled to happen at the same time

What I'm rooting for is for the Stanley Cup and the NBA finals to happen at the same time. Yeah, I, well, around the same time. I don't know how the schedules work out with like how they're set. But I would just prefer to not have one series be over while the other sport is still going on.
