I genuinely think the Indiana Pacers are a good basketball team

I think the Pacers are good. I do. I think they have a ton of shooting. They play a fast pace... I like watching the Pacers play basketball.

This is a subjective evaluation of a team's quality during a playoff run.

The Thunder versus Grizzlies series is a total mismatch of men versus boys

The Grizzlies, the one series that we can all agree is just needs to be over is the Grizzly Thunder. Yeah. That this is, this is men versus boys. The Thunder's defense is so fucking good... It's just a not it's not a real series.

The Thunder swept the series 4-0, confirming the extreme mismatch.

The NBA Finals will definitely be the Celtics versus the Thunder

Let's just fast forward to the finals. We all, it's, it's, it's Celtics Thunder. Like there's no other, there's no other way.

While the Celtics reached and won the Finals, the Thunder were eliminated in the second round by the Mavericks.

The Lakers versus Timberwolves series will be a battle that goes six or seven games

I think the Lakers Wolves is gonna be a, a six or seven game series and I, I expected the Lakers to win tonight and I expected what we saw.

The Timberwolves defeated the Lakers in 5 games, so this was slightly off.

Draymond Green should not have been suspended for his Game 2 stomp on Domantas Sabonis

I don't think he should have been suspended for it because he got, he got his foot grabbed and it wasn't even that hard of a stomp. Yeah, he's a big guy and you probably shouldn't step on another man's sternum intentionally, but at the same time, like his foot was being grabbed, you gotta get the guy off you somehow. I think it should have been a flagrant, I don't think he should have been suspended.

The suspension was upheld and served, but the take itself is a subjective opinion on league discipline.

The NBA should 'cancel charges' and abolish the charging foul because stepping in front of a player while covering your nuts is not a real defensive move

we came to the conclusion that they should cancel charges if you step in front of a guy and put your hands in front of your nuts... for two reasons. One, that's not a defense, it's not a defensive move. You can't make a defensive play if your hands are covering your balls. And also you should be willing to get hit in the nuts to take a charge. That should be part of the price that you pay.

This is a purely subjective proposal for a rule change in basketball.

The Celtics will destroy the 76ers in a sweep or five games

I'm just ready to destroy Philly. They're B ball. Paul, I can't wait for you to like, wait, wait, he's not gonna play. He's gonna score zero points. Celtics are probably gonna win in a sweep five.

The Celtics did not win in a sweep or five; the series went a full seven games before the Celtics eventually won.

Russell Westbrook is officially back

As far as, as far as Westbrook goes... Russ Russel Westbrook officially back. I'm sure he's gonna be very consistent with this throughout the rest of this playoff series too.

The Clippers lost the series in 5 games to the Suns, though Westbrook played admirably in the absence of Kawhi and PG.

Raptors fans treating every sport like soccer is bizarre

Here's the thing about other countries besides the United States. They treat every sporting event like it's a soccer game. Like they get together in the big town square where you're not allowed to have open containers... there's a lot of scarf wearing going on out there. That's always been a very bizarre thing to me.

Cultural commentary on sports fandom is subjective.
