Recap
PFT CommenterThe anticipation for a Game 7 is better than the actual Game 7
The anticipation for the game seven is way better than the actual game sevens. This is making me disagree with LeBron's take... I might be a game six guy. That's the new game seven.
Big CatNBA parity is officially back with seven different champions in seven years
Parody is back. NBA parody is officially back this now with the thunder beating the nuggets in game seven. There are going to be, it's guaranteed seven different champions in seven different years in the NBA. And we also have the chance for two franchises who've never won a title in Indiana and Minnesota.
Big CatAaron Gordon is a beast for playing through a grade two hamstring injury
Aaron Gordon played in game seven with a grade two hammy. And if the Lakers were in this game, LeBron would still be two weeks away from coming back because LeBron, remember when he got hurt in the last game of the Laker season, they some, for some reason put out a timetable for his return, which no one needed or asked for.
Big CatAlex Caruso is underrated because two different franchises let him go for nothing
Alex Caruso... he is underrated because two franchises basically got rid of Caruso for nothing. The Lakers let 'em walk because they were cheap and didn't wanna go in the luxury tax and the Bulls didn't get a pick for 'em. Even though they should have.
Big CatNikola Jokic failed the 'best player in the world' standard in the series against the Thunder
I think it's fair to hold him to the standard of best player in the world. And if he was the best player in the world, game four and seven, he could have played better and they could have won this series. The conversation of Jokic is best player in the world... can sometimes be like, I'm gonna take over this series and win this series. He didn't do that and that didn't happen.
Big CatThe Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese rivalry is awkward because Clark is much better at basketball
Caitlyn Clark is so much better than Angel Reese at basketball that it's not, it doesn't feel fair. I actually feel bad for Angel Reese at this point. She wants a rivalry and she has history with Kaitlyn Clark, but it's nowhere near equal footing in terms of play... Kaitlyn Clark needs a different rival because this one is just not fair.
Big CatJalen Brunson is already a top-five New York Nick of all time
I think Jalen Brunson is already a top five Nick. I think it's the list now is Patrick Ewing, Willis Reed and Walt Frazier and then it's like, yeah, Earl Pearl and then like Mellow is somewhere in there. I think he's a top five nick of all time in the three years that he's been there.
HankThe New York Knicks were a better team than the Boston Celtics in their playoff series
The Nicks were the better team than the Celtics. They're... a better team than the Celtics. I'm not gonna argue that right now because I was wrong too. I thought the Knicks, I did not think the Knicks would be in the Eastern Conference final.
HankI'm leaning towards the Boston Celtics needing a rebuild
I trust Brad Stevens with my life, but I'm leaning towards rebuild ish. Probably. Someone needs to figure out how we can keep Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and still have good enough players around them to compete. It doesn't, not a tax guy at all. It doesn't look, I can't wrap my head around it yet.
Who Is Back
HankThe show 'The Librarians: The Next Chapter' looks like the dumbest show of all time
The librarians, the next chapter. They're showing these commercials in all these games. It like it. I can't believe it's a real show that is being made. It looks like this is the best whose guy ever dumb this fucking show of all time.
Interview
Big CatScottie Scheffler will eventually reach double-digit majors
If everything stays like, you know, if he stays healthy and plays for 15 more years, like it does feel like he will be in that double digit majors territory.
Smylie KaufmanLudvig Åberg's game is built for winning major championships
Ludwig Åberg would be another guy too, who's, I think his game is built for major championships. Ludwig is already contended at the Masters a couple different times.
Tyler PhillipsAn average person could likely get three outs in a Major League game eventually
I think you get three outs. Yeah. Like, honestly... The ball is bound to go to somebody. Yeah. Like there's no, like, it just goes against odds for the ball to just keep landing in the grass somewhere. Right.
