The Oklahoma City Thunder will win the NBA Finals in five games.

Thunder in five. I played, I think it was plus six 80 Thunder Games one and two, Pacers Game three, thunder game four and five.

The Thunder won the NBA Finals but in 7 games against the Pacers, not in 5 as predicted.

Jay Wright as the head coach of the Knicks would be fantastic.

Jay Wright as the Nick's head coach would be fantastic... outside Rick Brunson, he has more connections, deeper connections than anyone else out there in the coaching pool.

Jay Wright has consistently stated he is retired from coaching and has not taken the Knicks job as of this episode's context.

I bet on Chet Holmgren to go over 27.5 points, rebounds, and assists in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Big Cat has Chet over 27.5 points. Rebounds assist... I think it's gonna be a big Chet series.

Chet Holmgren finished Game 1 with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists (30 total).

I'm anxious that CJ Stroud's arm soreness will become a long-term worry.

I'm not worried about him yet. But I am worried that I might end up worried about him. Pre-worried. I'm worried that I'm gonna be worried about him. Yeah. I think they call that anxiety.

Insufficient specific info about CJ Stroud's arm health. Texans made playoffs with a 9-game win streak to close, suggesting Stroud was fine.

Lincoln Riley still has no signature win at USC

If you go through the Lincoln Riley résumé, this is a really long time since starting in '22 to not have that signature win. Give us one. Beat Oregon once and be like, 'Hey, look.'

This is an assertion about USC’s results under Lincoln Riley that can be checked against the record as of the episode date.

The SEC will regain its national-championship dominance

It was still hard for me to believe that they're just not gonna win national championships now because of NIL. That's the kind of parity. I think the SEC is gonna turn this thing back around where they're gonna start rolling through people again.

The SEC’s future national-title results remain unresolved.

BYU is ranked far too highly to be trusted

I was arguing Texas Tech being overlooked because at least they have some P4 wins in there. They looked like shit against Colorado. BYU is eighth in both polls. I'm not putting them in there.

Whether BYU deserves its ranking and can contend is evaluable over the 2026 season, which is not complete.
