This is the Best of the Herd with Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio. Colin right, Colin wrong, as we often do on a Monday. Here we go. Where Colin was right. I've said it before in sports. Parody is overrated. Rory, Tiger, Phil, Kepka, the numbers are going to prove it. Rory McIlroy helps the Masters. Five of the world's top six golfers finished at least tied for third or in the top three. It was a magical event.
If you take Rory out of that, And it would have been Cam Young and Scotty Scheffler. You know it and I know it. It wouldn't have felt close to the same and the number wouldn't have been the same. Where Colin was wrong. I kind of figured the Doc Rivers thing would be fine. He's good inside the room if he's not a great schematic coach, but... He's older. He managed egos, kind of a Joe Torre feel to him of the Yankees. It did not work out. It got worse. Two of the three seasons, losing record, didn't win a playoff series. So it probably couldn't have gotten worse for Doc Rivers in Milwaukee. I was wrong on that. Where Colin was right. But I said, the Celtics culture, coaching, Brad Stevens, they're still going to be really good this year.
Well, they finished with a number two seed despite the Tatum injury. And remember, they moved off four of their top nine players. Jalen Brown had a took over, as he's prone to do, really talented, really aggressive. Between Brad Stevens, Missoula, the culture, the intelligence in the building, how many other teams could lose four of their nine top players and Jason Tatum for a majority of the season and still be favored to win the East? where colin was wrong i keep waiting for the eagles to trade a.j brown instead they added another receiver don tavian wicks of green bay who's a big target has kind of a case of the drops but he's super talented i'm not sure what it means for a.j brown but the packers have a lot of receivers they went first round last year to get another and wicks became expendable
Is this a portent of things to come? Perhaps, but another skill guy for Jalen Hurts to maneuver with. Where Colin was right. Billy Donovan, the Bulls cleaned house. They kept the one guy who I've been a fan of for years. Listen, they've been poorly run. They've never really had a plan. It's kind of a... make it up as you go roster that uh it's unbalanced not enough size but the bulls cleaned house and jerry reinsdorf and michael reinsdorf came out and said listen billy donovan needs to okay the gm he's a hall of fame coach if the new gm doesn't like him we're not hiring him Where Colin was wrong. My surprise team in the NBA this year was going to be the Dallas Mavericks, and then Anthony Davis immediately got hurt, and Kyrie Irving never came back.
Cooper Flagg was remarkable, but they're terrible. A much worse record than last season. Listen, ever since they've... Mark Cuban sold it. It's just felt like an unsettled franchise that can't quite get their feet or their bearings. I thought they were with Cooper flag and AD and maybe Kyrie Irving comes back late. It would be an offensive showcase and instead it was a hazmat spill. Where Colin was right. The NIL and the Transfer Portal, they're not perfect, but boy, they've made college basketball better.
