Recap
PFT CommenterThis might finally be the Capitals' year to win it all
I'm pumped to watch the [Capitals] playoffs. I do think that this might be our year. Yeah. And the issue is we don't really have a goaltender. We've got two goaltenders and neither one, you have to pick which one is gonna get hot at the right time.
Big CatNBA teams should not wear alternate or city edition jerseys in the playoffs
I think that you shouldn't wear your alternate jerseys. Especially like, I think those are the city version for the Pacers in the playoffs. Because someday you will look back and if like the Pacers go to the NBA finals and they have a historic run in 20 years from now, you'll be like, man, I wish they were wearing the old school like pin stripes.
Big CatThe Bucks are in serious trouble after their Game 1 loss to the Pacers
I don't wanna overreact to game ones. I think the bucks are in a lot of trouble. I think the Pacers are really good... Halliburton was not good shooting and they still blew him out and it was never really close.
Big CatGiannis Antetokounmpo will ask for a trade out of Milwaukee
I feel like the bucks are just kind of a bummer now. 'cause I, I, I like Giannis... and maybe honest in in Milwaukee... Probably. He might, he might ask out. I don't know.
PFT CommenterKawhi Leonard is officially back to his dominant self
But bad news for the rest of the NBA is Kawhi looks back... I feel like he, he could have asserted himself a little bit more. I mean this, they, they kind of, the Clippers should have won this game... It is fun to watch Kawhi when you know that he cares and that he's trying so hard.
Big CatNew Rule: If you win Game 1 of a playoff series by 50 points, the series should immediately end
If you win a game one by 50 points, a series should be over. Okay. 'cause when this game was such a blowout, it was like 30 points in half. How much more exciting would it be in the second half if the Grizzlies were literally fighting to keep the series alive... If you win the game one by 50 series over, we've seen enough.
HankThe Celtics are a lock to repeat as NBA champions if they stay healthy
This team is better than the team last year that won the championship. And if they stay healthy, they will repeat. That is my wholehearted belief... I'm happy that we, it's called confidence.
HankThe Celtics will lose fewer than three games total before the NBA Finals
I would say two and a half. I mean, I would take the under, I would set the line at two and a half. I personally take the under.
Big CatThe Cleveland Cavaliers are significantly better than the Miami Heat
The Cavs are so much better than the heat. I would take the under on two [Heat wins]... I think the calves are a lot better than the heat and they've been very good all year. And the heat are not, I mean they're just not a very good team.
Big CatThe Colorado Avalanche will win the Stanley Cup
I've made my future bet because Whitney told me that he thought maybe the abs I took AVS plus seven 50. I've also told PFT not that he cares that I would cash out if they played the caps in the finals. 'cause I, I would rather you win.
Interview
Daniel JeremiahThe 2025 NFL Draft class is full of starters but lacks true star power
I've just been saying it's starters not stars... last year we had six quarterbacks... and this year when you've got, you know, Cam Ward seems locked in at one, Travis Hunter seems locked in at two... there's not really that juice there at the top.
Daniel JeremiahTravis Hunter will be more impactful as a Wide Receiver than a Cornerback in the NFL
I think everybody I've talked to has a plan to major in minor... I think he's ready, he's more impactful as a receiver right now. And so I, to me, I think that's where you start him... I think he is right now ready to go. There's a ton of ways we can get the ball in his hands and I just think he impacts the game more on offense.
Daniel JeremiahColston Loveland to the Chargers is a near-lock for Jim Harbaugh
I think every night [Jim Harbaugh] is going to bed with Colston Loveland's picture, like on the wall and he just stares at it and is like, this is going to happen. I believe it. He will be here.
Daniel JeremiahDylan Gabriel is the 'Mr. PMT' sleeper quarterback of the draft
I would go with Dylan Gabriel... he's five 11, he's older, but he's got a, he's got a really strong arm. I've kind of advocated if you're the Dolphins and I know they brought over Zach Wilson. Yeah, but that'd be a, I mean, shoot, just bring him in there. If you can get him in the third, fourth round, knowing Tua is more than likely to miss some games.
Chris FinchRudy Gobert's defensive value to the Timberwolves cannot be overestimated
Rudy Gobert is just so impactful on both sides of the ball. I think, you know, Rudy is a very polarizing player in the league, but, having been with him now for three years, like he just, his value cannot be overestimated. It's just so important to everything that we do.
