Recap
Big CatAdam Silver texted LeBron James and told him to play bad for ratings and revenue
Did LeBron James get a text from Adam Silver being like, 'Hey, LeBron, all anyone can talk about is how the NBA Finals are nine days away after you sweep the Celtics. We're going to really need some more cash here, so could you just suck for an entire game and look totally disinterested?'
HankThe Celtics are in year five of a rebuild and are closing in on LeBron James' tail
We're in year five of a rebuild. We have the number one draft pick. We're in the Eastern Conference Finals. We're clearly coming up on LeBron [James]'s tail. As long as we can dominate LeBron in the beginning of his career and then dominate him on the way out, I can be content with that.
Big CatThis is the year of the Nashville Predators in the Stanley Cup
The Predators, I feel like this is the Predators' year. People have been saying it for a long time. This is the Predators' year. Take out your fang claws. Nashville's number one hockey city in Tennessee.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterIf you show up somewhere with a glowing orb, people will give you money out of fear
If you show up somewhere with a glowing orb, people will give you money because they'll be afraid of you. That's how it works.
Big CatKevin Love should be the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns
Kevin Love should be the Browns quarterback. He does have unbelievable passing. He'll throw one or two a game where it's like, how the hell did he do that?
PFT CommenterIf your wife goes away on business, you should move farther away from her to make her miss you more
Here's a pro tip for all you guys out there that are married. If your wife goes away on business, move farther away from your wife. Make her want to come to you.
Interview
Danny WoodheadA truly gritty person doesn't want to explain what grit is
I think in all fairness, if you are gritty, you don't want to be the person explaining what it is. You just go out and you do your job every day. And then everyone else can decide if you're gritty or not.
Bob HugginsCincinnati would have won a national title in 2000 if Kenyon Martin didn't get hurt
I think anybody who doesn't [think we would have won] don't know anything about basketball. [I think about it] not more than four or five times a day.
Bob HugginsDeflections are the most important stat when playing a press defense
Since we started pressing, it's deflections. Deflections is a sign of activity and energy. It's disruptive.
Olympic Update
PFT CommenterIf an Olympic medal deteriorates, the athlete shouldn't be considered the winner anymore
I think the medals that were won in this Olympics, if they deteriorate, they shouldn't count. If the medal's gone, you didn't win it.
Ehhhhhh
Big CatLaVar Ball should not be held accountable for facts in his takes
I'm not on board for fact checking LaVar Ball's takes on anything. As far as I'm concerned, LaVar Ball does not when he says things, he doesn't give a shit if they're true or not. He's a prey and spray kind of taker. He's just gonna shoot, shoot, shoot. LaVar Ball, he can't be held accountable for his takes.
Protect The Shield
PFT CommenterMitchell Trubisky looks like the Jersey Shore version of Tim Tebow
If you look at Mitchell Trubisky, he looks like the Jersey Shore version of Tim Tebow. Just put that thought in your head for a while.
