The Avalanche vs Lightning series is over; the Cup is in the building

I'm pretty excited for my Avalanche bet. I'm feeling comfortable about it because this does feel like a game seven now... This is game seven for the Lightning. And it's a game two for the Avalanche... Are we sure the Lightning are good? Are, do they just have Vasilevskiy... The Avalanche just look like the far fresher, far faster [team].

The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 6 games.

The Detroit Pistons are back

The Detroit Pistons are back... the main takeaway, I know this sounds crazy to say, but Jaden Ivey falling to five... Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham. They're building. You fuck with that. Because let's build. It's that's why Jaden Ivey going to the Detroit, the Pistons are back.

The Pistons have remained one of the worst teams in the NBA since this draft, failing to reach the playoffs or even have a winning season in the years following.

The Orlando Magic are five years away from being any good

Paolo Banchero, he went first overall. Credit to coach K for going out on a high note right there. I can never really tell with some of these players, like you go to a team like Orlando, that's just dog shit. To me, they're like probably five years away from being any good.

The Magic actually made the playoffs just two years later (2023-24 season), showing they were much closer than five years away.

All Duke players from the 2022 draft will be busts

All the Duke guys are going to be a bust. They can't win when it matters most because they lose when all the pressures on them... they did lose in the Final Four. They did send out their Hall of Fame coach out with a loss.

Paolo Banchero won Rookie of the Year and became an All-Star, Mark Williams has shown promise, and while others are role players, calling the entire class 'busts' is already proven wrong by Banchero's success.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
