The Jazz-Mavericks first-round series will be boring and terrible

I've got a series that will suck. I'm ready to predict right now, a series that I care about the least: Jazz-Mavericks. That series is going to suck.

The Mavericks beat the Jazz 4-2 in a series that was generally considered competitive and significant for Jalen Brunson's breakout performance.

Ben Simmons is ready to return for the Nets and just needs to pass the ball and play defense

I think I nailed this one. Cause Ben Simmons is coming back per Shams. They've just kept him on ice... Ben Simmons is ready to come back and yeah, he doesn't really have to do anything. All he has to do is be out on the court on defense and then just pass the ball on offense. That's it.

Ben Simmons did not play in the 2022 playoffs despite reports of a potential Game 4 return.

Ben Simmons returning to the Nets lineup is actually better for the Celtics

This could be old takes exposed, but I think [Ben Simmons returning] is better for the Celtics... if they're not on the same page and like the third or fourth quarter, like you can't... it'll be really [weird].

Simmons never played, so we can't know if he would have hurt the Nets, but the Celtics easily won the series regardless.

The Milwaukee Bucks will make it back to the NBA Finals

I do think the Bucks are gonna make it to the finals... I think it's going to be Suns-Bucks again.

The Bucks lost to the Celtics in seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The Brewers have the Dodgers beaten psychologically

I feel like Brewers kind of got 'em where they want him psychologically—two in a row, started the series off, and the Dodgers are panicking now.

This is an interpretation of the teams' mental state, so it is inherently subjective.

The Rams will win at least 11 games

If you're gonna look for a bet right now, take the Rams over 10 and a half wins. They're fine. I'll say they'll be seven and three at or six and four at worst—seven and three most likely—going into the Packers game on Thanksgiving.

The Rams' 2026 regular-season win total will not be resolved until the NFL regular season ends.

Shohei Ohtani's slump started when the Dodgers owner came under investigation

What is going on truly with Shohei? You look at when this cold streak started, and it was August 18th. The Los Angeles Lakers were sold on August 17th, and I believe news of the investigation kind of hit a peak shortly thereafter. I just think it's interesting timing.

There is no established causal link between the ownership investigation and Ohtani's performance; the claim is speculative.
