Recap
Big CatTyrese Haliburton is the most important player on the Indiana Pacers
Tyrese Haliburton is the straw that stirs the drink. Correct. He is. I mean, without Tyrese, none of this works. The instant baskets after a made layup. Those don't happen without him out-letting the ball down the court. He's the most important player, I think on the team.
Big CatThe Indiana Pacers are the best team in the Eastern Conference
The Pacers played the best basketball, the most consistently of any team in the postseason. Is that fair to say? Yeah, definitely. Okay. So ipso facto, they're the best team in the East.
Big CatThe 2025 NBA Finals is the 'Paul George Finals'
These are the Paul George Finals. Paul George was traded for, I think it was Sabonis and Oladipo. And then Sabonis became Tyrese Haliburton. And then also Paul George was traded from OKC that became SGA. It's the Paul George finals.
HankThe New York Knicks will regret not going further in the 2025 playoffs
I think when time comes and you look back at this year, you're gonna regret not going farther. And you're gonna understand how golden of an opportunity this was to get to the finals with all of the injuries and the path just opening wide up.
Big CatKarl-Anthony Towns is the greatest scapegoat in NBA history
I think Kat [Karl-Anthony Towns] is the greatest scapegoat in NBA history in terms of like, this happened with him with the Timberwolves too. And I'm not saying the Kat is a perfect player... But Kat is not like your only problem. He's still a big guy. And you'd rather, if you have a problem on defense, you'd rather he be a large man than a small man.
National Sports Podcast
Big CatCal Raleigh is a legitimate MVP candidate and deserves more national attention
Cal Raleigh is the catcher for Seattle Mariners. He has 23 home runs and that's insane. It's nuts that he's doing this as a catcher... He won't win MVP, but he's got my vote. First catcher with 20 home runs before June.

Interview
Big CatThe 2025 OKC Thunder championship will be the worst title of their upcoming dynasty
We have gotten ahead of it and we think this actually will be the worst Thunder team to win a title in their dynasty run. 'cause you guys [Alex Caruso] are probably gonna win like six in a row. So you're saying this is the worst this year? Yeah. We just back where we'll be like, can you believe that team won?
Ray RomanoJustin Fields gives the Jets a chance because of his mobility
I guess my question is, you know, do we have a chance? I mean, he's a great guy. He is a runner. Right? At least we got a runner. I always have faith.
Ray RomanoBarry Bonds and Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame
I might be inclined to vote for Rose to get in, you know? And I think Barry Bonds should be in the Hall of Fame because everybody... most of the power hitters were, and he's by far the best hitter to ever play the sport. It's a museum at the end of the day.
