Recap
Big CatPaying Josh Giddey $35 million a year would be a massive mistake for the Bulls
They also have a guy named Josh Giddey who they're gonna probably pay $35 million to, which would be a very big mistake... Josh Giddey is just good enough to get you in the play-in game and not the playoffs.
Big CatThe Chicago Bulls are a joke of an organization with no path forward
This franchise [the Bulls] is a joke and it should be called out as a joke and stop pretending that March and April basketball means something and actually pick a lane and go for it. They do not know how to tank. They do not know how to win.
Big CatA 71-47 score is the largest possible 24-point deficit in basketball
The halftime lead for the Heat was 71-47 and that is pretty much the largest 24-point deficit you can have... It feels like 30. If you can jump over multiple digits of 10, that's when it appears so much larger.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers is waiting for the NFL Draft to finalize his next team to avoid being 'Kirk Cousined'
I feel like all this is gonna get settled right after the draft... I think that's why Rodgers is waiting because he doesn't want to have a Kirk Cousins situation where he signs somewhere they draft someone and then they're like, 'oh yeah, it's your job.'
HankTravis Hunter will be more impressive in the NFL than Shohei Ohtani is in MLB
You think Travis Hunter will be more impressive than Shohei Ohtani? Definitely. I'm gonna be vindicated. I welcome the hate when it came, but in two years' time I wanna be sitting pretty.
HankTravis Hunter will have a 10 TD, 5 INT, 2 Pick-Six season in the NFL
10 receiving touchdowns, five picks, and maybe two pick sixes. That's doable. That doesn't even seem that crazy.
Interview
Brian WindhorstKawhi Leonard is currently playing like a machine
I watched Kawhi go through some pre-game shooting routines where he was as impressive... all Kawhi does is look like a machine. I remember watching him make like 96 out of a hundred 17-footers. That's what Kawhi looks like right now.
Brian WindhorstOklahoma City and Boston are the clear favorites for the NBA Finals
I booked a certain hotel that I want in Boston. I booked it in October for the finals. And Oklahoma City... I booked that sucker. If you had to pick one from the west, Oklahoma City and Boston [for the finals].
Brian WindhorstThe 'Rule of 5' is the mandatory limit for a group dinner to be productive
Rule of five, no dinners more than five people. I will maybe sometimes allow a sixth if it's somebody's spouse... I want everybody at the table to hear the other people. If I go to a dinner and there's four of us and they call back later and say we're adding people, I'm like 'okay, you guys have fun. I'll go someplace else.'
Brian WindhorstAmen Thompson is a 'freak amongst freaks' and will soon be a household name
I feel like the basketball public is going to figure out who Amen Thompson is over the next two, three weeks. This guy is an absolute freak amongst freaks. Like all the great athletes that you see in the NBA, he's like the great athlete's great athlete.
Brian WindhorstThe Bulls are currently rebuilding and don't even realize it
The Bulls are in a rebuild and they don't know they're in a rebuild. And that's almost the worst position to be in... If you don't have the dude, you're not going anywhere. You gotta kill yourself to get the dude and the Bulls aren't doing things to get the dude.
Josh DuhamelThe Vikings will either be first or last in the NFC North this year
Defense is gonna be good, but then again, you've got Caleb [Williams] coming up with the Bears. You've got Jordan Love with the Packers, and the Lions are gonna be good. I don't know. We could be first or we could be last.
Fyre Fest
PFT CommenterI am significantly better than Hank at 16-inch softball
I am definitely so much better than Hank at 16-inch softball... I guarantee you. I can slap singles. I'm faster than Hank.
