Recap
PFT CommenterMito Pereira's PGA meltdown wasn't as bad as Jean van de Velde's in 1999
He does have the fact that it's not the worst 18th hole meltdown of the history of the majors that will forever be [Jean] van de Velde, the French guy that ended up taking off his socks. I wish that Mito had tried to do that.
Big CatRory McIlroy is officially a backdoor cover guy for Top 5 finishes
I think [McIlroy] has become like a backdoor cover guy for top fives. Like he shows up on Sundays when he's out and he comes back in, but yeah. He's striking the ball well.
PFT CommenterI'm betting heavily on Rory McIlroy to win the 2022 Open Championship
Going to place a hefty bet on Rory in the Open Championship. It's at the Old Course this year. Yeah. Fuck it. It's Rory's home course. Let's all bet on Rory in the Open.
HankThe Celtics are the better team because they have won 10 out of 12 quarters in the series
The Celtics have played better than the Heat and every single one of the games. If you go by quarters, they've won 10 of them. Which to me means that they're the better team.
Big CatNBA playoffs are becoming less interesting because high 3-point variance leads to too many blowouts
There have been more games that have been won by double digits than games that have won by less than double digit. 38 games have been decided by double digits, 20 of those have been 20 points plus. It's essentially like which team just hits their threes in a given night. If your team makes all the threes, they win by 10 plus. If they don't, they lose by 10 plus.
Jake MarshIf the Heat win Game 4 against the Celtics, they will close the series at home
I think if the Heat win tomorrow, they'll close the deal at home.
Big CatThe Warriors winning another title would be a nice 'thank you' for the era of great basketball they provided
I also think like, I don't know why, but I just want the Warriors to win another title just as like a thank you to them for all the awesome basketball they've let us watch. Everyone already knows they're all time great, but having that extra title after they're all past their peak... would be nice.
MemesThe Hurricanes will win the series against the Rangers and finish them off at home
I knew they were going to lose tonight. I think they'll win [Game 5] and then they'll finish them up at home.
Interview
Mark TitusJayson Tatum is a fraud and Jimmy Butler is the best player in the world
For right now, Jayson Tatum's a fraud. [Jimmy Butler] might be the best player in the world. Jason Tatum needed more help and Jimmy Butler might be the best player in the world.
Big CatModern sports fans care more about a championship 'window' than actually winning titles
It's almost sports has become almost about the window than winning the title. We should just change to be like fans of windows. If the bills don't win a Super Bowl with Josh Allen, we'll be like, but they had the window.
Mark TitusCoach K isn't really retired; he will stay around the Duke program forever
I don't think the party's over Dan. I think he's going to be around the program. I do. I haven't been told he hasn't given up his office. He never will. He has kept his office, John Scheyer, they had to figure something else out. K is going to be around maybe until K dies.
PFT CommenterCoach K is the worst NBA coach to never have coached in the NBA
Coach K would be a worst head coach than Calipari was when he was head coach. He's the worst NBA coach to never have coached in the NBA.
PFT CommenterTom Izzo is officially overrated
The take that I've probably been wrong about, Tom Izzo being overrated. I wanted to be the first person to say that Tom Izzo is overrated. So I think I accomplished that. And then I've been waiting that out. It's starting to look more and more like it's correct adjacent.
Mark TitusChet Holmgren will be the #1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft
I think it's going to be Chet [Holmgren]. I think I was thinking Jabari [Smith] was going to go number one before the lottery happened, but then I think Orlando is going to love Chet. High school together [with Jalen Suggs], I think that's going to win out in the end.
