The Nuggets are still winning this series in six games

I still think the nuggets win. I think the nuggets win in six. But they, the Timberwolves do have a formula for — they've done it before. This is how you piss off the Nuggets enough and shake them out of their game for a little bit where you can take advantage if you have a good game from your players.

The Timberwolves beat the Nuggets in this series, so PFT's pick of Nuggets in six was incorrect.

I'm officially excited for the future of the 76ers core featuring V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey

I'm excited for the future of the 76ers after watching V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey in that game. V.J. Edgecombe is insane—youngest player in NBA history to go for 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game. He's a beast and he's 19 years old.

V.J. Edgecombe was indeed drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He also became the youngest player in NBA history to record 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game, achieving this on April 21, 2026, in Game 2 of the First Round against the Celtics. However, at the time of this achievement and the podcast's air date (April 22, 2026), V.J. Edgecombe was 20 years old, not 19, as he was born on July 30, 2005.

The Celtics are going to win this series in five games

The Celtics are gonna win this series in five.

The Celtics lost this series — the 76ers won despite being heavy underdogs. Max's prediction was incorrect.

The NBA suspended Paul George just so he could take better steroids

Memes has a take that they suspended [Paul George] so he could take better steroids. If memes' theory is correct, they suspended him and they're like, 'Hey, you're taking the wrong stuff. Take some better juice.'

This is a satirical conspiracy theory that cannot be factually proven.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
