Mark Stevens pushed Kyle Lowry because his 4K technology makes him think the players aren't real

He's exposed to all the finest in 4K 3D technology when it comes to watching these games live. He's probably watched games on his couch where it felt like the players were diving into his living room. So he's probably comfortable shoving at them and getting away with it because they're not real. So when he's at a game, he can't tell what's in the Matrix and what's real life.

This is a satirical theory about human psychology and technology; it cannot be factually proven.

The NBA loves late start times because it gives gamblers a larger window to place bets

I think that the NBA actually really enjoys these late start times because it gives [fans] a much larger window with which to lock in their bet. Adam Silver loves... he's a betting man.

The NBA has historically scheduled Finals games late for TV ratings, but the league's later pivot into heavy gambling partnerships makes this claim somewhat prophetic.

The Warriors are totally fine in the NBA Finals even without Kevin Durant

I actually think the Warriors are totally fine. I mean, that's not like a hot take, but Klay's going to be back. I think they – sitting Klay, they were like, look, we're the Warriors. Like, we'll be fine. Let's get him 100% healthy or close to 100%. ... But they know that they can win on the road.

The Warriors lost the series to the Raptors in 6 games.

I don't think Kevin Durant will play at all in this series

I don't think Kevin Durant's going to play this series. We've said that on Wednesday. ... I like how we're getting even further away. Like, we're going to rule him out for Game 5, the minute Game 4 ends.

Kevin Durant did play in Game 5 of the series before tearing his Achilles.

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
