The winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series wins the series 83% of the time.

Here's a fun stat... if you look at it, that that is a correct, but the more important stat is 83% of the time that a series is tied 2-2, that winner of game five goes on to win the series.

This is a statistically verifiable historical fact in the NBA playoffs.

The Heat and Suns will both win their Game 6 matchups.

And honestly, like, I, I would bet that both of these teams that won tonight are probably going to win game six.

The Miami Heat won their Game 6 against the Sixers, but the Phoenix Suns lost their Game 6 to the Dallas Mavericks.

Skip Bayless definitely has burner accounts on Twitter

This is proof. Skip Bayless has burners. I've got a mission now for the next three weeks, which would be to find, skip Bayless's burners and see what the takes that he puts out on the burn. The ones that like, he doesn't think are ready for prime time yet the ones that he's testing out.

This is a widespread belief based on Skip occasionally replying to himself or referencing his own tweets, but it has never been formally proven or 'unmasked' like Kevin Durant's burners.

Deandre Ayton is the one guy in the NBA who should be able to dominate any game he is in.

I think [Deandre] Ayton might be the one guy in the league right now where he can, when I watch him play, I'm like, why is he [not] always just play like this? It feels like he should be able to dominate any game that he's in.

Whether Ayton 'should' dominate is subjective, but his career since 2022 has been marked by inconsistent effort and a trade to Portland, supporting the idea that he doesn't always live up to his potential.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
