Recap
Big CatTyrese Haliburton needs to be more consistent to take the next step as a superstar
This is kind of the knock on [Haliburton] is that he has nights like Tuesday, which are out of this world good... and then you have nights like tonight where he doesn't really, like, can't really tell that he is out there. I think to take that next step, you can't have nights like tonight.
PFT CommenterThe Oilers will win the Stanley Cup based on the historical pattern of rematches
Oilers Islanders. Gretzky lost the first time and then won second year. Crosby loses the first time to the Red Wings, second time comes back and wins. Now McDavid loses to the Panthers the first time. Second time I think I like the Oilers boys. I think it's coming home.
PFT CommenterThe Carolina Panthers are destined for the Super Bowl because Ohio State won and Jennifer Lopez is getting divorced
2024 Ohio State wins the National championship. The Panthers have a losing record. Next year, 2025, the Panthers open up with the Jacksonville Jaguars again. Also in 2002, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce... 2014 Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce... 2024 Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck. It seems like the Carolina Panthers gonna be the Super Bowl.
Big CatThe Oklahoma City Thunder are significantly better than the Minnesota Timberwolves
The Oklahoma City Thunder are in the NBA finals. Absolutely curb stomped the Timberwolves in Game five completely. Like that series wasn't really competitive... the Thunder are significantly better than the Timberwolves.
HankAnthony Edwards cannot be the face of the NBA until he makes a Finals appearance
Anthony Edwards has been, people have been trying to put the face of this league on him... I don't think he can be the face of this league without getting to a finals.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
Big CatLeBron James will announce that next season is his final year during the NBA Finals
I think there is going to be an announcement... this will be LeBron James last year. And he's gonna make us suffer through an entire year long thing. He might even do it during the NBA finals. I actually wouldn't be shocked if he does it during the NBA finals.
HankLeBron James is a scumbag for opting into a $52 million contract instead of taking a team-friendly deal
[LeBron] opted in for $52 million. He's a billionaire. He might even be a piece of shit... he does not need, he's not even good enough for 52 million a year. He could have signed for 30... they could use the 20 million to actually make their team better. But he doesn't care about that because he's a selfish piece of shit.
Interview
Greg OlsenThe Chicago Bears roster has enough built-in talent to win 3-4 more games just by having a competent staff
Everything Chicago has done the last couple years... I thought Chicago had the most built in wins based on their current... how many wins are there just built into that roster? I thought Chicago had the biggest spread... there's three or four wins built into that roster like that [with Ben Johnson].
Greg OlsenBrock Bowers is the best tight end prospect to enter the NFL draft in 15 years
I think [Bowers] is the best tight end prospect to come out of the draft in the last 10 years, 10, 15 years. Like, and his rookie year matched it, if not exceeded it, which was pretty incredible.
Zach LaVineAlex Caruso is the smartest player in the league and will be a great coach one day
The guy's a crash dummy man... He's one of the smartest dudes. He's going to be a great coach when he's done... he would help lead some of our meetings [in Chicago].
Zach LaVineOKC will win the NBA title
If I were to, you know, guess... I'm going with OKC.
Fyre Fest
ZacThe Barstool office ice cream machine will finally be operational by Wednesday
