Recap
Big CatIf James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game
I'm a big believer and if James Harden scores more than 30 points in a playoff game, you should sit him the next game. Give him a nice little sit and then it's back to Philly. I'm sure that James Harden will be great in game seven like he always is.
Big CatJason Tatum is better than Joel Embiid in the playoffs
[Jason Tatum] is the best player on the court. He's better than Joel Embiid. I'm sorry, like in playoffs, Joel Embiid, he had a very good game, but the fourth quarter he looked like the most gassed person in the world.
Big CatThe Celtics will beat the Sixers in seven games
I do think this is gonna go seven and I think the Celtics are gonna win in seven because the Sixers didn't win game three. The Celtics are gonna have a reinvigorated effort on Tuesday night. Win that game. Sixers reinvigorated effort on Thursday, win that game back to Boston for game seven. Celtics win game seven.
PFT CommenterLeBron James will play three or four more years and will not decline in quality
I think LeBron's gonna play what, maybe like four more years. Three more years maybe? And I don't think he's even gonna get worse. I think he kind of is what he is at this point and old less, slightly less athletic LeBron is still a fucking monster and so he's just gonna play until he decides to walk away and he's still gonna be super healthy at that point.
HankThe winner of the Celtics vs. Sixers series will go to the NBA Finals
The whole time the game was bad... I did spend the whole time thinking, obviously now I would say whoever wins the Sixers-Celtics series is going to go to the finals.
PFT CommenterThe Phoenix Suns are better without Chris Paul
I think in a sick way they definitely are better without Chris Paul. 100%. Because if you got Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, those guys, they can both create their own shots. They're not really reliant on Chris Paul to run their offense and they get along just fine without him.
Big CatIf Nikola Jokic gets suspended for shoving Mat Ishbia, it's absolute bullshit
That was a crazy scene because if Nikola Jokic gets suspended, that will be absolutely bullshit because Mat Ishbia... he grabbed the ball, wouldn't give it up, and then he kind of like chested into Jokic and then Jokic gave him a little shove. If Adam Silver suspends Jokic for this game, it's bullshit.
Big CatThe Maple Leafs' round one series win doesn't count if they get swept in the second round
Do we count the Leafs getting into the second round if they don't win a game? I don't think it counts. If they don't win a single game in the second round, I don't think they got to the second round.
PFT CommenterMeghan Markle attended King Charles' Coronation in a disguise
They're saying that that was Meghan Markle wearing a prosthetic, pretending to be a dude to sneak into the coronation. I have no idea if it's true or not, but I now I believe it because these people care so very deeply about it.
Interview

The host is Ken Jennings, who is the GOAT. He's the greatest Jeopardy player of all time. Won the most consecutive episodes... When they played a primetime event named GOAT to determine the greatest of all time, Ken Jennings won that against James [Holzhauer].
Michael DaviesBarstool Van Talk was going to be a hit TV show
Barstool Van Talk was gonna be a hit TV show. And as I poured over the 18 to 34 demo results of that first episode, that was a hit TV show. So that was the one that got away.
