Seth Curry is a better pure shooter than Steph Curry

The narrative I'm going to get going is Seth Curry is the better pure shooter than Steph Curry... The better pure guy. Steph has to create his own shot. Seth is much better off the pick... Seth is better away from the ball.

While Seth has a higher career 3P%, Steph is widely considered the greatest shooter ever due to volume and difficulty; this is a deliberately provocative and largely incorrect take.

The Warriors are Draymond Green's team

The Warriors are a lot of fun to watch right now and I'm gonna say it it's Draymond's team... He had 16, 10, and 7 was everywhere. He is the heartbeat of the Warriors. He unlocks Steph Curry to score 37 points.

The Warriors' identity is inextricably linked to Steph Curry, but Draymond is widely considered the defensive/emotional leader.

The Raptors 'wasted' a rare 30-point performance from Kyle Lowry by losing Game 1 to the Bucks

Kyle Lowry had 30 points. He was unconscious. And you wasted your Kyle Lowry game. You don't get a lot of those. Giannis didn't play well. The Bucks didn't play well for the first three quarters... And you still somehow lose by eight points.

The Raptors did lose Game 1 despite Lowry's 30 points, and while they eventually won the series, losing a game where a secondary star peaks is a valid 'wasted' opportunity in the moment.

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.
