The Boston Celtics are the NBA championship favorites if Kristaps Porzingis remains healthy

Boston... if Pingus is healthy, they have probably, they're probably still the favorite... Their one through rate is ridiculous.

The Celtics won the 2024 NBA Championship. Porzingis played in the Finals despite injury issues earlier in the playoffs.

The Dunk Contest is unfixable because we have already seen every possible dunk

There's really no way to fix the Dunk Contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find... maybe it's just that we've seen every cool Dunk and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.

The 2024 dunk contest was widely panned as one of the worst ever, supporting the idea that it is stale.

Mac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he isn't an active NBA player

Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.

Subjective opinion on exhibition eligibility rules.

A G-League player who wins the NBA Dunk Contest should receive a two-week NBA contract

If you win the Dunk contest and you're on a G League team, you should get like a two week contract.

Mac McClung won in 2024 and did not receive an immediate NBA call-up following the event.

James Harden is still a prime candidate for a massive playoff collapse

Last night with Mitchell not playing well, all the points off of turnovers, which again, he was, he was guilty of. But look, I just have a super hard time with the way he's officiated. It gets so bad with him that I'm like, well I expect there's gonna be some kind of 30 point game. Yeah. I mean he's got the ball in his hands the entire time. But at the end when he needed the free throws, it's like he missed two of the last four. 'cause it—that tells me there's just something about him.

Harden's playoff legacy is a matter of intense debate, and a single game rarely changes the long-term narrative.

The Knicks should be dangerously confident given how the Eastern Conference is looking

They should be. Because if you go back to the regular season games and you know, you try to figure out, okay, what really matters... Detroit's physicality and their defense messes up New York in a way that feels very real. So if you're a Knicks fan and then watching last night going like, I hope Cleveland wins this based on what you saw in the regular season.

The Knicks' success in the playoffs will determine if this confidence was warranted.

Cade Cunningham could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA

When we're done with this, let's not, not Cade if they don't get through this. 'Cause I think we're all realizing like, Cade could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA.

This is a long-term career projection that will take years to evaluate.
