Takes

The Nuggets will beat the Suns by 12 points in Game 5

I think they're gonna win by 12. I think it's gonna get ugly late. I don't think Devin Booker can keep up the pace that he's been on. The sons have no bench and they're fucked when he is out.

If James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game

I'm a big believer and if James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game. Give him a nice little sit and then it's back to Philly. I'm sure that James Harden will be great in game seven like he always is.

Jason Tatum is better than Joel Embiid in the playoffs

[Jason Tatum] is the best player on the court. He's better than Joel Embiid. I'm sorry, like in playoffs, Joel Embiid, he had a very good game, but the fourth quarter he looked like the most gassed person in the world.

The Celtics will beat the Sixers in seven games

I do think this is gonna go seven and I think the Celtics are gonna win in seven because the Sixers didn't win game three. The Celtics are gonna have a reinvigorated effort on Tuesday night. Win that game. Sixers reinvigorated effort on Thursday, win that game back to Boston for game seven. Celtics win game seven.

LeBron James will play three or four more years and will not decline in quality

I think LeBron's gonna play what, maybe like four more years. Three more years maybe? And I don't think he's even gonna get worse. I think he kind of is what he is at this point and old less, slightly less athletic LeBron is still a fucking monster and so he's just gonna play until he decides to walk away and he's still gonna be super healthy at that point.

The winner of the Celtics vs. Sixers series will go to the NBA Finals

The whole time the game was bad... I did spend the whole time thinking, obviously now I would say whoever wins the Sixers-Celtics series is going to go to the finals.

The Phoenix Suns are better without Chris Paul

I think in a sick way they definitely are better without Chris Paul. 100%. Because if you got Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, those guys, they can both create their own shots. They're not really reliant on Chris Paul to run their offense and they get along just fine without him.

If Nikola Jokic gets suspended for shoving Mat Ishbia, it's absolute bullshit

That was a crazy scene because if Nikola Jokic gets suspended, that will be absolutely bullshit because Mat Ishbia... he grabbed the ball, wouldn't give it up, and then he kind of like chested into Jokic and then Jokic gave him a little shove. If Adam Silver suspends Jokic for this game, it's bullshit.

The Warriors are nearly unbeatable when Klay Thompson scores 30 or more points

Klay Thompson, when he scores 30 or more points... 64 and 10. Pretty good. When he has, when he's the perfect amount of high for a game, when he takes his edible and times it out perfectly before the game and he goes off, the Warriors win those games.

The Lakers-Warriors series is going to seven games

It feels like this is gonna be a seven game series. I'm very, very excited... I like, I can't decide who's going to win this series because I do still think the Lakers when AD is on pose some significant issues for the Warriors. I think it's going seven. I really do.

Joel Embiid will score at least 35 points in Game 3 against the Celtics

He's gonna look so much better tonight... He's gonna drop at least 35 [points].

Marcus Smart will never have another shooting performance as good as Game 2

Marcus Smart will never shoot like that again. That's fact.

Dillon Brooks has talked himself out of the NBA

I really do think he might've played himself. Like he talked himself out of the NBA. Well and also the lack of play. ... He talked himself out of the NBA.

LeBron James might be better as a Robin than a Batman for the Lakers

I think what we're seeing is LeBron might be better as a Robin than he is as a Batman. They've got a true number one option finally on the Lakers in AD who looks healthier than we had predicted.

NBA playoff teams should only wear their classic home and road jerseys

When you're in the playoffs, you wear your jerseys, you wear your classic jerseys, you wear your home, you wear your road. Like don't fuck it up. ... I don't want your city connect. I don't want your 17th Nike jersey. ... I do sound like an old man right now, but I want your classic jersey playing in the playoffs.

Erik Spoelstra is the best coach in the NBA

Spoelstra is the best coach in the league I think. I think he might take over the title. I think he might be—Pop has not been in the playoffs for a few years. I think Spo is the best coach. Like the fact that he had that team almost winning at the garden, missing three guys and having the refs go against you.

Brad Stevens should come down from the front office to call plays for the Celtics

Brad Stevens for all you know, intents and purposes one of the best X's and O's guys ever when he was coaching... He's still in the organization. Why don't they just put him on the bench and just have him call the plays at the end of the game?

Joel Embiid returning to the lineup will discombobulate the Sixers

I think that Embiid coming back at not a hundred percent will discombobulate them. I think it helps [the Celtics]. ... If Embiid comes back it's gonna discombobulate them enough for the Celtics to win.

The Denver Nuggets will beat the Phoenix Suns in six games

I still standby prediction Nugs in six. I think that KD and Booker are gonna have a couple of those games where they just go nuclear.

Steph Curry is a top 10 player of all-time

I mean, people are saying top 10 all time now. I, I wouldn't disagree with that... and I know I might be in the minority here because I think there's a lot of warriors fatigue... I still love watching the Warriors play basketball and I still love watching Steph Curry.

If Steph Curry beats LeBron James in the second round, he moves to #2 all-time

I'm personally putting LeBron's legacy on the line in this matchup against Steph Curry. So if Steph beats him, Steph goes up to number two all time as far as I'm concerned.

Dillon Brooks' career might be over mentally after this playoffs

No one had a worse playoff performance start to finish than Dillon Brooks. He is a complete joke... I actually think he'll have a career, but I wouldn't be shocked if his career is just over because of this. Like mentally... he could not have had a worse playoffs.

The Denver Nuggets will beat the Phoenix Suns in six games

I stand my prediction, which is Nugs and six, I think it's gonna be Nugs and six. And if their big three is cooking, then we're then we're in business.

Tobias Harris will score 30 points in Game 1 against the Celtics

Sixers are gonna win. I think Tobias Harris goes off for 30 tomorrow [tonight].

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 Bucks' season was a categorical failure

It's okay to say the Bucks season was a failure. Giannis isn't a failure. None of the players are a failure. Their season was a failure. They were the one seed they had the most wins in the regular season. They were odds on favorites and they got bounced in five games. Right. That's a failure.

Jimmy Butler is the number one player in the NBA

Jimmy Butler. Who is now, you know what, Jimmy's number one, he's my number one player in the NBA.

Aaron Rodgers taking a post-season loss is another failure for him as a Bucks owner

You know who a minority investor in the Bucks is? Aaron Rodgers. Another post-season loss failure for Aaron Rodgers.

I am heavily thinking about betting on the Milwaukee Bucks to win the series against the Heat

I am heavily thinking about betting on the Milwaukee Bucks to win the series still. I think it's like plus 1 15, 1 20. I know that's a short price. I still think they'll probably win it.

The Nuggets will beat the Suns in six games

I'm just, I'm calling it right out. Nugs and six.

Jimmy Butler is officially back to being the most underrated player in the NBA

Jimmy Butler is officially back to being maybe the most underrated player in the nba in the playoffs. It's playoff Jimmy.

I'm officially on the 'Lakers might be really good' train

LeBron proved that he's still got a lot of gas in the tank. And I am officially on like, Lakers might be really, really good watch.

Dillon Brooks is an all-time fraud and a fake tough guy

Dylan Brooks is an all-time fraud. He is a fraud. He's a fake tough guy. He decided that he wanted to be a villain... but you have to at least own up to the fact that not only did you touch LeBron James in the penis, but you also shot your team out... You are a complete fraud when it comes to this stuff.

Dillon Brooks has not demonstrated the body of work required to be a real NBA villain

You can't just say like, I'm a villain now. That's too, it's, you have to demonstrate a body of work to become a villain. And he hasn't done that yet. He's not built up the rap sheet necessary to become a true villain.

Joel Embiid will play in the next series despite his knee injury

He'll be ready to go. I know Docs have given the whole 50-50 that he's gonna play. He's not gonna play. He's gonna fucking play.

If you actually play with [Spencer Dinwiddie], you realize like, this dude, we cannot win with this guy.

The Kawhi Leonard and Paul George pairing is in the running for biggest bust of a dream pairing ever

The Clippers dream team is, they're in the running for like biggest bust of a dream pairing ever. Right?

Chris Paul's career will be a failure if he doesn't win a title this year

Chris Paul looks fantastic and it would be an utter disappointment if he didn't win a championship this year. Like complete, complete career defining disappointment... he's a 'Yeah but' guy at that point.

The Celtics' loss to the Hawks was just a wake-up call, they are fine

It was a good wake up call. They can't play defense like that to win in the playoffs. They got, you know, it was a wake up call. They, and now they're good back on track.

Draymond Green is on another level defensively and changes games more than people realize

I don't think, because he gets talked about for all the other shit... sometimes we forget how, just how game changing he is defensively and his passing.

Joel Embiid falling down on purpose is better for his body's health

The falling is good. The falling is good. Memes and I were watching a video on it... he chooses to fall because it's better for his body. See, you wouldn't understand.

Game 3 against the Grizzlies is LeBron James' first true legacy game

It is now, I'm gonna say it right now. Game three for LeBron is a legacy game. His first ever legacy game. His entire legacy if he doesn't score 40.

Karl-Anthony Towns is the 'worst best guy' in the NBA

Is Karl Anthony Towns just the, the worst like, best guy in the league. He's gotta be right. He probably the worst, best... He's so good. And he also sucks at the exact same time, right? He's the yeah, he's the best player that sucks.

The NBA rigged Game 3 of the Sixers-Nets series to extend it

No, I mean it, it was just blatant at halftime. There was, there was something that happened. There was something that happened at halftime... The Nets had zero fouls in the second half until five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. It was insane. They obviously wanted a series they wanted, but they wanted the game to go more than four games.

The Warriors will win the next four games and sweep the rest of the Kings series

Or the Warriors a sweep from here on out. I was feeling that once you, once you, once you in PFT, once it got past like five minutes of Pro King stuff... this just screams warriors in the next four.

The Kings will beat the Warriors, but then the Lakers will eliminate them to cause maximum pain

They're gonna beat the Warriors in this series. It's gonna be a great story. The first team to take down the Warriors, the Lakers are then gonna beat them and it's gonna be all the bad memories from all the from that series and everything is gonna get brought back up. It's perfectly set up for a team to like capture the Hearts of America and then the Lakers to basically have us relive the worst moment in King's history.

Playoff James Harden is dead

My take of playoff James Harden is dead, died last night cuz he was so bad. I was so excited after Saturday and then last night, I mean he like didn't even belong on the court.

If Robert Williams stays healthy, the Celtics will win the championship

Robert Williams is playing like he's healthy, active. It's always scary with him... if he stays healthy, good things are coming.

The 76ers will win the NBA championship this year

The second I sold, I went out and said the Sixers are winning the championship this year. I fully believe that's happening. I think it was my sale of the ownership that motivated everybody to play that much harder.

Austin Reaves is the true alpha on the Lakers

But the real story outta that game was Austin Reaves. Yeah. Austin Reaves. AKA him. He is him.
