Recap
Big CatMitch Trubisky screwed himself by measuring 6'2" because of Hue Jackson's arbitrary height cutoff
Hugh Jackson, his cutoff for quarterbacks, 6'2". So Mitch Trubisky kind of screwed himself. He should have slouched a little bit, hoping that he went at 6'1"... [Hue] just said, if the quarterback's not 6'2 or taller, I don't want him.
Big CatPatrick Mahomes' small hands are a reason not to pick him in the draft
I also saw that Mahomes had small hands, so be careful of that. Don't worry about the fact that he played in a Kliff Kingsbury offense, and it was an air raid... His hands, a little undersized. That's why you shouldn't pick them. I actually like him. I think he actually would be good for them.
Interview
Big CatKevin Durant will never be 100% for the rest of the season
I'm banking on Kevin Durant never being 100% for the rest of the year. Do you think the Warriors are now vulnerable, or is that just wishful thinking from someone who's a Warrior hater?
Rachel NicholsKevin Durant likely won't lose his shooting rhythm despite his injury
He actually has a history of coming back from injury pretty well... he doesn't seem to lose his shooting rhythm. The thing that's a question mark... is that if he is 5%, 10% off, that's where you could see a big turn... it just wrecks all their form.
Rachel NicholsAndrew Bogut joined the Cavs out of pettiness to beat the Warriors
The question to Andrew Bogut is, is he petty enough that he wants to go play for the Cavs just for the shot to upset or to beat the Warriors in the finals as opposed to collecting the extra $3 million that he could have gotten if he had gone to the Rockets? And the answer apparently is yes.
Big CatLeBron James reading 'The Godfather' while walking is a calculated camera stunt
Did you see last night LeBron walking from the bus to the locker room reading The Godfather? And did you also think that was the lamest, most ridiculous thing you've ever seen in your entire life?... He was doing it for camera. He wasn't actually reading.
Big CatDeMarcus Cousins will fail in New Orleans because he blames others for his problems
It does feel like he's the type of guy that blames everyone else for his problems because the refs are on him and his teammates stink... It feels like it's not going to work in New Orleans. It feels like he's that type of guy who's like, I'm so talented and the world kind of owes me something.
Big CatThe Chicago Bulls will beat the Warriors tonight on TNT and then lose to a bad team
They're going to beat the Warriors tonight. It's a home game on TNT on a Thursday night. The Bulls will beat the Warriors, and I will say the Bulls are back... and then they lose to some shitty-ass team.
Spin Zone
PFT CommenterThe 49ers having no quarterbacks is liberating for Kyle Shanahan's play-calling
If you don't have any quarterbacks on your roster, then there's no chance that Kyle Shanahan is going to be able to call too many passing plays late in a game that they're winning... Shanahan's just taking away his ability to throw the ball too much.
Tell Da Truth
PFT CommenterRedskins GM Scott McCloughan has been dead for a year
I think he's been dead for a year... it's Bruce Allen who's just pretending like Scott [is alive]... If you want to deflect blame to somebody else, have a dead guy in the closet. Never bring him out in front of the media. And every time he fucks something up, be like, it's the dead guy's fault.
Lebron Blames
Big CatDeron Williams was signed by the Cavs just so LeBron could have another person to blame
LeBron blames. Deron Williams is on his team. He missed a huge wide-open three against the Celtics... I think Deron Williams was signed with the Cavs just so LeBron could have another person to blame.
Respect The Biz
Big CatNorthwestern basketball is annoying because journalists act like it's a plucky underdog story
Except for the fact that now we're going to get Greeny, Mike Wilbon, Rovell, all these fuckers shoving Northwestern plucky underdog down our throats. So I'm saying respect the fucking biz... We don't care about Northwestern basketball enough for you to tell us constantly.
