Jalen Brunson is the next 'Can't Win The Big One' guy in the NBA

How about this one? Hank, you're gonna like this one. Jalen Brunson. Mm. Does that do anything for you? Yeah. Not clutch at all... I'm trying to predict where the narratives are gonna go next... The Knicks were built to beat the Celtics this year.

Brunson has two NCAA titles, making the literal 'can't win the big one' claim incorrect, but it's an NBA-focused take.

The Celtics will sweep the Sixers

I'm ready for a sweep... Celtics in four or five. I think it's gonna be Celtics in four or five.

The Celtics won the series in 7 games, so they did not sweep and it did not end in five.

NBA Finals Prediction: Suns over Bucks

I'm gonna go Bucks Suns... I'm switching back. I I'm going suns bucks again. Because that would be funny if like the suns clinched before the Celtics Bucks series ends.

Neither the Suns nor the Bucks made the 2023 NBA Finals.

The Celtics are a good bet at plus 3.5 in Game 6 of the NBA Finals

I do think the Celtics plus three and a half is a good bet on Monday night. Me too. I like you too. Numbers never lie.

The Warriors won Game 6 103-90, meaning the Celtics did not cover +3.5.

I am betting a front-runner parlay on the Yankees and Lakers to both win titles this month

I might put a front-runner parlay down and go Yankees, Lakers, the Cowboys, Alabama football, and Duke basketball this year. We're going chalk.

The Lakers won the NBA title, but the Yankees lost in the ALDS to the Rays.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will have five coaches in an 18-month span

I want them to fire their interim between the end of the season because they're going for the record. I think this is their fourth... I need them to get five coaches in like the span of 18 months. I think that's absolutely a hundred percent likely to happen.

J.B. Bickerstaff remained the coach for several seasons (until 2024), so they did not hit the five-coach milestone in 18 months.

The Celtics can beat the Bucks in the playoffs

I was wrong about the Celtics-Bucks series. I said there was no chance in hell that the Celtics make it a series. I'm going to jump off that take now... I'd like to say I think the Celtics can beat the Bucks.

The Bucks won the next four games straight to win the series 4-1, making PFT's mid-series pivot incorrect.

Jimmy Butler will go 'alpha' and have over 30.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists vs the Timberwolves.

I got a pick for you guys... Jimmy Butler's playing the Wolves for the first time... over 30.5 points, rebounds, and assists. He's going to do the same thing that he did in the practice. He's just going to go off. He's going to alpha the fuck out of him.

In the game on January 15, 2019, Jimmy Butler had only 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists (17 total PRAs), failing to hit the 30.5 mark.

We will at least triple our money betting on college basketball games in Las Vegas

Follow us tomorrow while we try to get rich... We're going to double at least, I'm going to say triple. Triple.

History suggests the 'Pardon My Take team' picks usually lose money, though the specific results of this 2017 day at William Hill aren't tracked here.

The Clippers will win over 53.5 games because it is a contract year for Blake Griffin

I'm going to go with the Clippers over. Really? 53 and a half. Blake Griffin... he said that he's healthy and chomping at the bit. A little insider information for you. It's a contract year, too. I think they're going to be ready to go.

The Clippers finished 51-31, missing the over of 53.5.

The Celtics will win under 52.5 games because expectations are too high

I'm taking the under on the Celtics. 52.5 feels like too much. It feels like they're going to be a fine team, but it feels more like a 48-49 win team.

The Celtics won exactly 53 games, hitting the over of 52.5 by one game.
