Blake Griffin on Petty Twitter Wars and Andy Ruiz Jr. Shocks the World
The Warriors proved they still have that championship DNA in Game 2, even with Steph Curry battling the runs and Klay Thompson leaving early with a hamstring issue. While everyone focuses on the Splash Brothers, Big Cat is looking at the guy doing the dirty work to potentially snag the hardware if the Dubs pull this off.
Big CatDraymond Green should be the NBA Finals MVP
I'm going to make the early pitch for Draymond to get finals MVP because he had 17, 10, and 9... He's everything for their team.
Despite the win, the injury bug is starting to feel like the only thing that can actually stop Golden State. Klay was visually frustrated leaving the court, and hamstrings are notoriously fickle when you're playing every other night.
Big CatKlay Thompson's hamstring injury is a huge concern for the Warriors
Klay Thompson going out with the hamstring, which, by the way, that wasn't talked about after, but that's a huge, huge injury because he went out and he looked really pissed. Hamstrings are weird, man.
PFT is even taking it a step further, suggesting that the team’s identity might actually revolve more around #11 than anyone else.
PFT CommenterKlay Thompson is actually the most important piece of the Warriors
I'm talking myself into the take that Klay Thompson is actually the most important piece of that Warriors team. Clay will come in and he'll shoot like seven for 10.
Regardless of the health concerns, the guys agreed that the 'Third Quarter Warriors' remain the most terrifying force in sports. When that switch flips, it's over for the opposition.
PFT CommenterThe third quarter Warriors are the most fun team in the NBA to watch
The third quarter Warriors are the most fun team in the NBA to watch. They're insane. I absolutely love them.
The Chonk King Reigns Supreme
Saturday night gave us the ultimate common man victory when Andy Ruiz Jr. knocked out Anthony Joshua. Chris Mannix joined the show to break down how a guy who got the fight via Instagram DM managed to floor a 'chiseled sculpture' like Joshua. Mannix noted that Joshua simply doesn't use his physical advantages correctly against smaller, faster punchers.
Chris MannixAnthony Joshua fights like a 5'10" man despite being 6'6"
Anthony Joshua just couldn't keep Andy Ruiz from charging in at him... Joshua is 6'6", but he fights like he's 5'10". Like he doesn't use that height to his advantage.
It was a historic night for the 'third nipple community' and fat guys everywhere. While the world is still reeling, Mannix thinks the stakes for the rematch are even higher than people realize. If Joshua can't figure out how to beat the man who eats Snickers before fights, his status as an elite heavyweight is done.
Chris MannixIf Anthony Joshua loses the rematch to Andy Ruiz Jr., his career is unrecoverable
If Anthony Joshua loses the second time to Andy Ruiz, I don't know how it's recoverable... I don't believe that it would be a stunner if Andy Ruiz is able to do it and repeat what he saw Saturday.
Blake Griffin in the Van
Blake of the Year nominee Blake Griffin hopped in the van to talk about his 'Petty War' with the Bucks and his legendary knee brace that looked like it belonged on a Transformer. Blake hasn't lost his confidence despite the first-round exit, reminding everyone that the regular season told a different story than the sweep.
Blake GriffinThe Milwaukee Bucks were lucky to play the Pistons in the first round
Milwaukee's lucky. We played him four times in the regular season, lost all four. But, like, I guarantee you if we play a ninth [game].
Big Cat and PFT also used the time to prep Blake for the upcoming free agency period, convincing him to tweet out the eyeballs emoji just to mess with the NBA insiders. They also discussed the inevitable moment when Kevin Durant finally comes on the show.
Big CatI will call Kevin Durant a 'baby back bitch' to his face
How do you think it's going to go when I call him a baby back bitch to his face? I think we have to. I don't think there's a choice.
Who’s Back and Hot Seats
Hank is fully convinced the Stanley Cup Final is wrapped up after the Bruins 'shit-pumped' the Blues in Game 3. He’s seen enough of Jordan Binnington to know the rookie is seeing ghosts.
HankThe Stanley Cup Final is over because Jordan Binnington looks completely rattled
Series is over. He [Jordan Binnington] looks very, very shook. He's rattled. They let in seven goals. Three of them were goals he should have saved.
Meanwhile, Big Cat is tracking a different kind of hex. He’s tracing all the Packers' recent misfortunes—including Matt LaFleur’s Achilles injury—back to a certain quarterback’s inability to properly move a beverage at a Bucks game.
Big CatAaron Rodgers chugging a beer poorly has cursed the Packers
Curses are back because ever since Aaron Rodgers didn't chug his beer, which we'll get to in segments, the Bucks didn't win another game and Matt LaFleur tore his Achilles and is going to be coaching out of a cart this spring. Aaron Rodgers cursed their team, 100%.
The show wrapped up with a truly disturbing Monday Reading about a couple, a bathroom that takes too long to heat up, and a 'deal-breaker' dump that required forensic proof of innocence.
Just remember: if you're going to leave a 'fudge dragon' in the bowl to save the water temperature, make sure your boyfriend doesn't think you're cheating with a construction worker.
