The Timberwolves might be able to beat the Spurs even without Anthony Edwards

I would not be shocked if the Timberwolves did beat the Spurs. I think they might be able to... they beat the Nuggets without him. The Timberwolves are an insanely well coached team.

The prediction that the Timberwolves might beat the Spurs was incorrect. The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-2 in the Western Conference Semifinals. Anthony Edwards also played in the series, returning from injury in Game 1.

Tyrese Maxey is a top 10 player in the NBA

Tyrese Maxey is a top 10 player in the NBA. And they're, I think it's pretty hard to debate right now, otherwise, because he has done it all year. ... This series, he proved himself to be a top 10 player in the NBA.

While Maxey is elite, top 10 is usually reserved for players like Jokic, Giannis, Luka, etc. Maxey is generally considered top 15-25.

Joel Embiid has successfully shifted his career narrative with this series win

I think Joel Embiid's narrative is shifting. Shifting but not [yet] shifted. ... Shifting-ING is different than -ED. Narrative shifted for sure. ... He's now shown that he's not like just a regular season guy. He's not a choker.

The narrative around Embiid has historically been centered on second-round failures and injuries; beating a -900 favorite Celtics team in Game 7 certainly impacts that.

Game six might be the last time we see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown play together

Was game six in this series the last time we will see Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown play together?

Jaylen Brown was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2026 offseason. Jayson Tatum remains with the Celtics, meaning they are no longer teammates.

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.
