My Stanley Cup Final pick is Tampa Bay vs. Edmonton — and Edmonton won't lose without the Panthers to stop them

I'm going Tampa Bay versus Edmonton. But — if they go to the cup final again this year, you guys will have to just say okay, this team is incredible. I know I'm saying just go to the cup final. But of all the years of the past two, including this one, they're so much worse than they were the last two years. So if somehow it happens again, I just don't see them losing, 'cause there's no Panthers to dummy them down.

Outcome pending — NHL playoffs in progress as of episode air date.

Andre Drummond might be better than Joel Embiid

Andre Drummond... might be better than [Joel] Embiid. Max, I'm not gonna lie... He still has his appendix. Best ability is availability.

While Drummond is more durable, Embiid is a perennial MVP candidate and objectively the better player; the claim is hyperbolic.

Beating the Celtics would be the equivalent of winning an NBA Finals for the Sixers

I've also already said if we beat the Celtics, that's, that's an NBA finals. I don't care what happens the rest of it.

This is a subjective emotional assessment of what the victory would mean to him as a fan.

The Orlando Magic are a total bummer to watch

The [Orlando] Magic are the biggest bummer in the world to watch. Yeah. That team stinks. They are, they just play just basketball. That's not fun to watch. Paolo [Banchero] stinks. Paolo is so bad. He was like seven for 22. It's like my turn your turn offense.

The entertainment value of a team is subjective, though Banchero is widely considered an ascending star despite this critique.
