NBA Playoffs with Kirk Goldsberry and Randy Moss’s Preakness Picks
The Jamal Murray Game has arrived. After a back-and-forth three quarters where the Lakers actually looked like they had a handle on the altitude, Murray went nuclear with 23 points in the fourth quarter to put the Nuggets up 2-0. PFT is officially sold on Murray as a big-game hunter, while Big Cat couldn't help but notice that the King might finally be feeling his age after some uncharacteristic misses at the rim.
PFT CommenterJamal Murray has officially arrived as a clutch postseason player
I was gonna say Jamal Murray has arrived officially as like a clutch postseason player. That fourth quarter was awesome. Go nuggets.
Big CatLeBron James looked old for the first time in these playoffs
The story is LeBron James looking old for the first time cause whether it was the miss dunk, whether it was the flops... he just for the first time this these playoffs, he looked a little off.
While the Nuggets are rolling, the conversation around the Lakers turned to LeBron’s legacy and his current struggle from deep. PFT’s mom apparently has some strong thoughts on the GOAT debate, specifically regarding how many years it took for LeBron to rack up his stats. Even with the Lakers down two games, PFT isn't jumping ship on his series prediction just yet.
PFT CommenterThe Nuggets will beat the Lakers in six games
I stand by Nugs in six.
PFT CommenterLeBron James is a 'stack compiler' compared to Michael Jordan
So 13, if you take, if you take LeBron's first 13 years, who scored more points? That was her, that was her question. I don't know the answer to that question, but I think it's more fair way to join to, to judge it. And then she [PFT's mom] just wanted to know over and over again why they don't call traveling anymore... the answer no, she, her, her point was that he's played more years than Jordan. So he is kind of a stack compiler.
Heat Culture vs. The Town
Turning to the Eastern Conference, the guys broke down the Heat’s Game 1 win over the Celtics. Hank is understandably stressed, mostly because Joe Mazzulla seems more interested in watching *The Town* four times a week than calling a timeout during a 46-point Heat quarter. Big Cat pointed out that the mental gap between these two teams is cavernous, specifically when comparing Jimmy Butler to the Sixers team the Celtics just dispatched.
Big CatJimmy Butler has more mental toughness than the entire Sixers organization combined
The Heat deserve a ton of credit cause the Heat are better than the Sixers and more than that, the Heat are just tougher, mentally tougher than the Sixers. Jimmy Butler has more mental toughness than the entire Sixers organization combined.
HankIf the Celtics lose Game 2 against the Heat, I will be at the panic button
I think if we lose game two I'll be officially panic button out. But I think if we win game two, we're back.
