Nikola Jokic definitely signed off on the Nuggets firing Michael Malone because he doesn't want to be annoyed by a coach

Jokic had to sign off on this, right?... with Jokic, I feel like you, he's always teetering on the edge of being like, 'You know, I don't really like playing basketball. I'd rather just hang out with my horses.' You don't wanna piss 'em off. So I feel like you have to have that conversation with 'em.

The exact inner workings of NBA front offices are rarely public, but a superstar of Jokic's stature almost always has a say in coach personnel.

Houston was uncomfortable not playing from behind in the title game

I think that Houston was uncomfortable not playing from behind. I feel like Houston had had to lead the whole game and they were like, wait, we're, we're usually the ones that are, that are coming back at the last minute.

This is a subjective psychological assessment of the team's performance.

Will Richard was the real player of the game for Florida in the National Championship

Walter Clayton got player of the tournament player of the Final Four, which he deserved... But Will Richard was the player of the game for this game. And it was him keeping them afloat in the first half with his threes. And then if you look at the final possession, his on-ball defense in the final possession is where like all the timing for Houston got screwed up.

Will Richard had 11 points and played key defense, though Clayton's counting stats were higher; Richard's impact was indeed vital.

Todd Golden's technical foul was the most strategic in history

Todd Golden probably deserves credit... his technical was maybe the most strategic technical of all time. Because after his technical foul, which was of I think like three or four minutes into the second half, the fouls went 13 to three on Houston.

The stat shift is verifiable, but the 'strategic' intent is subjective. Florida did win the title.

LSU can win the national championship

With the way that Sam Leavitt played, you have to imagine they are definitely a team that can win the national championship.

The 2026 national champion has not been determined.

Traditions should stop when a team is getting blown out

I'm at the point now where I think the Badgers have to stop Jump Around until we start winning games. Because when you jump around and you're down 20, it's not fun. That's not a fun thing to do. You just need to have time and place with some of these things.

This is a subjective opinion about when a stadium tradition is appropriate.

Jameis Winston should be the first call for a quarterback replacement

Jameis right now should be the first call that anybody makes if they have a starter, a non-Tua starter, that they need. Actually, think about that, Big Cat—Jameis on the Falcons. That would be cool.

This is a subjective roster opinion; no single objective outcome can settle it.
