Recap
PFT CommenterThe NBA should stop the Eastern Conference playoffs because the Celtics are just going to eat everyone
Can we just stop with the Eastern conference playoffs? Can we just not do 'em? Because what's happening is every team is just kind of getting fattened up to get eaten by the Celtics and a delicious snack. Like that's what's gonna happen.
Big CatI would not be shocked if Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't finish his career in Milwaukee if they don't make a deep run
He said that he would not be shocked if Giannis doesn't finish his career in Milwaukee and that this is a very pivotal playoff for them. And if they don't make a finals run or win the finals, there could be a big wholesale change in Milwaukee.
Big CatThe Pistons finally winning a playoff game signals that all of Detroit sports are trending in the right direction
This is something that Pistons fans should enjoy and revel in and be like, yes. Like it is now trending towards the right way. All of Detroit sports, by the way, besides the Red Wings... the lions have been bad forever. They've obviously the last few years have been really good. The Tigers were bad for a really long time. They've been good. And now the Pistons.
Big CatJalen Brunson's foul baiting has made him hard to watch as a basketball fan
The foul baiting has gotten to a point where it's just hard to watch. And it's not just the foul baiting... the Knicks in this fourth quarter, they just go to straight iso ball foul baiting. No one else touches the ball. Jalen Brunson just trying to score. And it's bad basketball to watch.
HankKawhi Leonard is the Brooks Koepka of basketball
Kawhi is is the Brooks Koepka of basketball. He, when, his peers will be like, he's the best. Like he can be the best. He can beat the best when he is on his a-game. He just doesn't care about like, you know, maybe like starts or, you know, playing the regular season. It's just when the time matters the most.
Interview
Todd McShayAshton Jeanty is a better pure runner than Bijan Robinson
I actually think [Ashton Jeanty] is a better pure runner in terms of contact balance churning out yards after contact than Bijan Robinson. There's been six running backs going the top 10 in the last 10 years of the draft... [Ashton Jeanty] is absolutely worth the pick.
Todd McShayIt is more likely that only one quarterback is drafted in the first round than three
There's a growing sense that it's more likely that one quarterback gets drafted in the first round than three. Cam Ward one, Jackson Dart two, Shedeur Sanders three, Tyler Shough four, Jalen Milroe five.
Todd McShayMatthew Golden is the best wide receiver in the 2025 draft class
Number one receiver, Matthew Golden. Route running, crispness, 4.29 40-yard dash... top end speed great... caught a crease, he's gone. Vertical speed adjusts to the ball. I like Golden one.
Matt LaFleurI would never close the door on teaming up with Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan on a coaching staff again
[Teaming up with McVay and Shanahan] I think it'd be great... Absolutely not [closing the door]. I don't know if they could coexist, you know, being in the same division all these years. But I hope that's possible.
Matt LaFleurAaron Rodgers realizing he misses the Packers' culture after his time with the Jets makes me grin
Aaron Rodgers said that he's looking for a culture like the Packers... That does make me, that does make me grin. That makes me happy. Unfortunately just between Saleh and my brother, you know, there's some interesting stories [from the Jets] to say.
