Recap
PFT CommenterZach Edey needs to stop bringing the ball down on rebounds to avoid being stripped
Zach Edey, he shows me like he's improved still... but that guy, somebody needs to pull him aside and be like, youngster, you need to quit taking the ball down on rebounds. You put that ball up higher, you're taller than everybody else. 'Cause he's addicted to it. He does it every single time to get stripped.
Big CatNBA divisions are completely useless and should be abolished
Divisions in the NBA are, there's literally no reason for 'em. It's meeting, there's... Just get rid of them. Get rid of them. So stupid. No one cares about the divisions.
Big CatNico Harrison is 'so lost' and delusional as the Mavericks GM
He's [Nico Harrison] so lost. It's insane. Yeah... Such a coward move to do. No, no video, no no recordings. What a fucking loser. And we stand with Mavs fans. The guy's a fucking loser. He needs to get outta town.
Big CatCam Ward will be drafted by the Tennessee Titans
I think we can officially say that Cam Ward is going to be a Tennessee Titan. Did you guys see he was playing Fortnite tonight? He was on Twitch and he was asked his top four wide receivers in the NFL... He said Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Calvin Ridley and Treylon Burks... He said AJ Brown is a dog, but he's no Calvin Ridley.
Picks
Big CatKyle Shanahan is now the top candidate for the 'Can't Win The Big One' narrative
Kyle Shanahan needs a Super Bowl so badly. It's, it's desperate. It's aged him. Have you seen the before and after? Yeah. It's like he's a president.
PFT CommenterAaron Judge is not a true Yankee because he hasn't won a World Series
I would go even further and say he's [Aaron Judge] not a true Yankee. Which is funny because he's had some of the best seasons of all time by any offensive player. Still not a true Yankee... You can't be a true Yankee in the regular season. The Yankees season starts in October.
Big CatJalen Brunson is the next 'Can't Win The Big One' guy in the NBA
How about this one? Hank, you're gonna like this one. Jalen Brunson. Mm. Does that do anything for you? Yeah. Not clutch at all... I'm trying to predict where the narratives are gonna go next... The Knicks were built to beat the Celtics this year.
PFT CommenterSteph Curry enters the Kobe realm of the GOAT conversation if he wins a 5th title this year
If the Warriors go on a run, which they could... Steph Curry goes, lights out. Is Steph Curry, does he enter the Kobe realm of the goat conversation?... If the Warriors win the NBA title this year, Steph Curry wins finals MVP, I feel like you're gonna have the Jordan, LeBron, Kobe Curry conversation.
PFT CommenterKevin O'Connell is a regular season merchant who can't win in the playoffs
Kevin O'Connell. Can't, can't win in the playoffs. Oh. He's a regular season merchant... Bringing the best out of him. Getting high seeds, losing the playoffs. Just something to keep your eye on. Keep an eye on.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterPaige Bueckers will be a better WNBA player than Caitlin Clark
I do think that she [Paige Bueckers] might be a better WNBA player than Caitlin Clark. I think she's more athletic. She's more explosive. Caitlin Clark obviously shoots better from the outside and she's like a once in a generation talent. But in terms of, I'm talking about winning.
Interview
Joe MazzullaHe woke up every day in January convinced he was going to be fired
When we were that, that stretch in January where we weren't playing well, I was woke up every day and told myself I'm getting fired if we don't turn. I'm, I'm, I'm done... and I would tell the staff too, I'm like, guys, we're done. Like, you know, we don't figure this thing out, you know, like we, we just, we don't deserve to coach here.
Joe MazzullaSoccer cutting and spacing tactics translate directly to basketball
Cutting a place. You know, the way you cut can open up a two on one, you know, for the guy next to you... to move the defense. That stuff comes from soccer. That's my favorite sport to watch.
