NBA arena decibel readers are fraudulent and inflated by 30 decibels

A lot of people have started to download their own decibel readers on their phones, going to games, comparing them against what the scoreboard's showing. And guess what? Turns out it's like 30 decibels quieter than they're showing.

While not a scientific study, many fans and tech reviewers have noted that arena decibel meters often use improper weighting or locations to produce higher numbers for entertainment.

Draymond Green will eventually earn a one-game suspension during these playoffs

Draymond [Green] got another technical tonight. So he's on his way to earning a one-game suspension at some point during these playoffs.

Green finished the 2019 playoffs with 6 technicals, avoiding the 7-technical threshold that triggers a mandatory one-game suspension.

The Rockets will win at least one game in Houston against the Warriors

Are we thinking sweep? No. No. No chance. They're going to take at least one. I just wanted to throw it out there. At least one in Houston.

The Rockets won Games 3 and 4 in Houston during the Western Conference Semifinals.

Kyrie Irving will not play as poorly for the rest of the Bucks series as he did in Game 2

Kyrie [Irving] will not play that bad for the rest of the series. I'm okay with that because that means, I mean, it's not like you don't have a shitty...

Kyrie actually continued to play poorly, shooting 8-22, 7-22, and 6-21 in the following three games as the Celtics were eliminated 4-1.

The Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
