Steph Curry gets the least criticism of any superstar in sports for playing poorly

Watching [Steph Curry] play and watching him shoot and get hot is awesome. But there is not one single superstar that I've ever seen in any sport that gets less shit for sucking than Steph Curry.

Joel Embiid is an absolute monster when he is healthy

Joel Embiid is a fucking monster. He is a monster. Like, watching him play. When he's healthy. But he was a monster on Saturday. When he is out there, he looks like he's playing with little kids. Like, his hands are so much bigger than everybody. He's so much taller. He gets the ball in the post. There's nothing anyone can do.

Subjective opinion on a player's dominance, though Embiid's MVP-caliber career since then supports the 'monster' claim.

The Bucks-Pistons series is trash

Unfortunately, the Bucks just demolished [the Pistons] again. That series is trash.

The Bucks won the series 4-0 with an average margin of victory over 20 points, making it a very lopsided 'trash' series.

I am not confident about the Celtics playing the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals

I'm not really going to act like I'm super confident about playing the Cavs.

The Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 4-1 in the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals.

Russell Westbrook distrusts his teammates more than any player I've ever seen

I don't think I've ever seen—and don't tell him I said this because he'll get very upset at me—I don't think I've ever seen one player distrust his teammates more than Russell Westbrook. Unbelievable season, but he really was like, these guys fucking suck, and I need to make sure they never get the ball.

This is a subjective assessment of playstyle, though Westbrook's high usage and triple-double pursuit remain heavily debated topics from that season.

The Rockets could win the Western Conference, but the Thunder have zero chance.

I think Harden wants to win this, but the Rockets actually are a decent team. Things have to break well, but in a world, there's a theoretical world where they could win the West. The Thunder, no chance. Zero chance.

The Golden State Warriors won the Western Conference in 2017, sweeping the Spurs in the WCF.
