God is an AWL because the bracket has gifted us a Game 7 between the Sixers and Celtics on the exact same weekend as Max's bachelor party in Vegas. Big Cat, PFT, and the rest of the crew are headed to the desert to watch the chaos unfold while Hank and Max are already at each other's throats. Max is feeling dangerous after the Sixers' performance in Game 6, and he thinks Joel Embiid has finally found a rhythm that can take them to the finish line.
MaxThe Sixers are playing the best basketball I've ever seen them play right now
The Sixers are playing really good basketball right now. The Sixers are playing the best basketball I think I've ever seen them play right now. Joel Embiid is playing a different style of basketball than he's played in this series. He's playing controlled.
Big Cat isn't just riding the Max hype train; he genuinely thinks the roster dynamic has shifted in Philadelphia's favor. Between Tyrese Maxey's emergence and a hobbled Jason Tatum, the vibes are swinging toward the Process.
Big CatThe Sixers have better players than the Celtics right now
The Sixers just have better players right now. Is that fair to say? I think it is, right? Maxi's playing... Embiid has been awesome. It feels like the Sixers have, you know, outside of Jason Tatum being kind of injured, they just have better players.
On the other side of the aisle, Hank is doing his best to maintain his typical Boston arrogance despite the Celtics' inability to hit a three-pointer to save their lives. While everyone else is worried about the momentum, Hank is calling his shot for a blowout in the deciding game.
HankThe Celtics will win Game 7 by 40 points
The Boston people that I follow... that is overdramatic. And that actually makes me feel better that this is when the Celtics do thrive, they come together, they win by 40, they use that momentum and they keep going. So that, that's what I think is gonna happen. They're gonna win by 40.
PFT isn't letting Joe Mazzulla off the hook for the Celtics' struggles either. He’s officially putting the first-year head coach on notice for his lack of a backup plan when the perimeter shots aren't falling.
PFT CommenterJoe Mazzulla is officially on the Hot Seat
I'm gonna do our friend Joe Mazzulla a favor. Hank, I'm gonna do you a favor. I'm gonna put Joe Mazzulla on a hot seat. It should wake him up. He probably wants to be on the hot seat. But like in the games that the Celtics have lost in these playoffs, it's been like spamming threes. Threes don't fall. No backup plan.
Our good friend Randy Moss joined the show for his tenth consecutive year to break down the Kentucky Derby field. Randy addressed the drama surrounding Renegade’s cracked hoof, explaining that it's essentially the horse racing version of the Alabama ankle surgery. He’s looking at Always a Runner to get it done in the Oaks, but his eyes are on a Bill Mott horse for the big one on Saturday.
Randy MossChief Wallaby is my pick to win the Kentucky Derby
The horse that I picked to win the Kentucky Derby's Chief Wallaby... He's got [Bill] Mott in his corner, the trainer who's three quarters horse. Since the horse has had the blinkers on at Churchill Downs, he has looked like an improved horse. He's really, really looking like he's sitting on a big, big race.
Randy also gave us a long-term projection for the international field. While the Japanese horses might not be the favorites this weekend, he’s convinced their time is coming sooner rather than later.
Randy MossA Japanese horse will win the Kentucky Derby within the next decade
It'll happen. It'll happen within the next decade. Absolutely. [Japan] will win a Derby.
In the second half of the show, IndyCar racer Connor Daly stopped by the studio to explain what it’s like to drive 240 MPH with no power steering while managing Type 1 diabetes. He talked about the 'snake pit' at the Indy 500, his friendship with Daniel Ricciardo, and why he still believes he’s destined to chug the milk at the Brickyard.
I believe I can win the Indianapolis 500
The only reason I still show up is because I believe I can win that race. And I think we've got a great team to do it.
We wrapped things up with Fyre Fest of the week, where PFT dropped a bombshell about his future in physical fitness. After a three-mile jog went south, he's hanging up the sneakers for good.
PFT CommenterI am officially retiring from running for the rest of my life
I've officially retired from running for the rest of my life. I would like to make that announcement. I went for a nice little three mile jog the other week... then I tried to turn on the afterburners and something bad happened. My fire fest. I'm moving forward. I'm retiring from running.
Good luck to Max's liver and Hank's sanity as we head into the most stressful weekend in PMT history.
