Recap
Big CatThe Oklahoma City Thunder will win the NBA title
Today is Wednesday, May 21st and the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to win the NBA title. ... Oklahoma City's defense is very fucking good. They're elite. Yes. They pack the paint so well. They make you take threes. ... I think they're the best team.
PFT CommenterShai Gilgeous-Alexander is the number one foul-baiter in the NBA
It pisses me off watching [SGA] play. ... I have to watch the foul baiting like three times in a row where I have to see the same non foul three times. ... [SGA] is the number one fator and he's so good. ... he has taken the mantle from James Harden.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterThe NFL should not ban the Tush Push
I'm opposed to banning the tush push. Just figure out a way to stop it. ... It's very unfair to to ban it. You can't ban it a play because one team is way better at it than every other team.
Big CatThe NFL should not change playoff seeding to be strictly based on record
They are proposing to do playoff seating one through seven strictly based on record... I hate this. ... the division winner should get a home playoff game, that should be it. ... I'm just scared that once... the NFL will do is change everything so that more people watch.
Big CatTom Cruise used Top Gun: Maverick to make people forget about his Scientology controversies
Tom Cruise... Scientology thing is very weird... He just was like, yeah, I'm gonna put out a new Top Gun and everyone's gonna forget about that. ... It felt like the block was getting a little hot with the documentaries and everything. He's like, I know. Top Gun two. People won't care anymore.
Interview
Paul BissonnetteMitch Marner will not be back with the Toronto Maple Leafs next season
[Mitch Marner] ain't coming back. ... he just hasn't lived up to what, not only he's being paid, but what the hype is in, in crunch time. ... my theory would be that you bring back [Nylander], you bring back Matthews and you can build around those guys. ... he won't be back. It sucks.
Paul BissonnetteThe Florida Panthers will beat the Carolina Hurricanes in five or six games
I think that Florida should win this series in six, if not maybe five games. ... high-end superstar talent also advantage Florida. ... Florida can play any way you want. That's what makes them dogs.
Paul BissonnetteAlex Ovechkin will play one more year in the NHL before finishing his career in the KHL
I think that next year... it's the last year of his contract. ... I wouldn't be shocked if he scores another 30 goals, but if he continues to slow down, it's just hard in today's day and age to keep up... I could see him after next year going back to the KHL and, and playing one more year and, and really having his final Swan song.
Chris BermanThe Buffalo Bills will somehow avoid the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs this year
Is this the year Buffalo somehow avoids Kansas City in the playoffs? ... means someone would've to lose or somebody... but somehow they don't meet. ... somehow the Chiefs and the Bills will miss each other in the playoffs.
Big CatThe New York Giants will win 7-9 games and be better than people think
I think the Giants are gonna be better than people think. ... I think that defense is gonna be elite. Their, their defensive line has just monsters on it. So I think they might be one of those teams where... they go jump up to 7, 8, 9 wins.
Other
Big CatAngel Reese definitely hates Caitlin Clark
I'm just gonna go outright and say it. [Angel Reese] hates Caitlin Clark. I think she does. And that's fine. 'cause rivalries are good. ... The issue with this rivalry is Caitlin Clark is just a lot better and more entertaining of a basketball player.
Big CatRyan Clark is a psycho for his social media attack on Robert Griffin III
Ryan Clark is kind of a psycho and just went like nuclear on a take about a foul in the WNBA. ... It basically comes down to RG3 had a misdemeanor of being corny online and, and Ryan Clark put him in front of a firing squad.
PFT CommenterWNBA players should stay off social media to avoid the toxic discourse
I would imagine that most of the really, really bad shit that you deal with is from people that are DMing you from anonymous accounts... I would just log off, have somebody else run your social media, do your ad deals, do all that shit for you. But don't, I, I would stay off.
