When you are giving a 'have fun' speech at halftime of a finals game, you have already lost

It's a shame that Jason Kidd couldn't give another halftime speech where he said, everyone remember to have fun out there. When you're given the half fun speech, you lost. I don't think that you can come back with a a half fun speech.

The Mavericks lost Game 1 and eventually the series, making this a prescient critique of the team's energy and coaching approach.

The Celtics will beat the Mavericks in six games

Yeah, we're thinking Celtics and Six. The, the Mavs aren't gonna go away. They're gonna, they're gonna give us their best shot, but, but it's, it might be Celtics and five.

The Celtics won the NBA Finals in 5 games, not 6.

The Mavericks were stupid to wear their black jerseys in Game 1

I still think that the Mavs were stupid to wear these jerseys in game one. I don't know if they did that because Luca looked very slim to them. I was thinking blue. These jerseys feel like the jerseys you wear for Star Wars night in like early February.

This is a subjective aesthetic opinion about team uniforms.

LeBron James strategically leaked the Dan Hurley news to overshadow Game 1 of the NBA Finals

The tradition of LeBron or his team looking to overshadow game one of the NBA finals continues... he really is the best at it... there's no doubt that he planned this whole Dan Hurley thing for having it all day on game one.

While the timing is suspicious, the intent is subjective and impossible to definitively prove, though Hurley did eventually turn down the job.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
