Recap
Big CatThis 2025 Thunder team is the worst version we will see during their upcoming dynasty
This is the worst Oklahoma City Thunder team that will win a championship during this dynasty run. They had to go to seven against the Nuggets. They had to go to seven against the Pacers. I don't expect that to happen ever again for them.
PFT CommenterWhoever won the Thunder-Nuggets series was going to be the NBA champion no matter what
I think whoever won that Thunder-Nuggets series, that was going to be the champion no matter what. That was going to be the champion no matter what.
Big CatSam Presti is one of the best GMs in any sport
This guy [Sam Presti] is one of the best GMs in any sport. And it's cool that he finally like 18 years, I think it's, he's been there and he just won with the second youngest team his way and a pocket full of picks going forward.
PFT CommenterThe Sixers are now in their championship window because the Eastern Conference is wide open
Next year is the Sixers' year. I feel like this is their year now. The East being wide open as it is. Celtics don't have Tatum. Pacers don't have Haliburton. Knicks don't have a head coach. You guys are good.
Big CatThe NBA season is too long and the speed of the game is causing the recent spike in Achilles injuries
There's gonna be a big conversation about the length of the NBA season and are these guys too big, strong, fast? Because we had how many? We had Dame, Tatum, Haliburton all wear the number zero, all tore their Achilles in these playoffs. Season maybe goes too long.
Big CatKevin Durant to the Rockets is a great fit because they finally have a go-to scorer
Great fit. Rockets are gonna be very good. They needed a go-to scorer. Kevin Durant is still a go-to scorer. ... I think that's the team he can go to... it's a young enough team that he can be like, yeah, they needed Kevin Durant.
PFT CommenterIt is worse for Kevin Durant's legacy if he actually wins a championship with the Rockets
I think it's worse for his legacy if he wins [with the Rockets].
PFT CommenterTommy Fleetwood choked at the Travelers Championship
Tommy Fleetwood, I don't really feel bad for [him]. He choked bad. He did choke. Like that's a choke that I... I was yelling USA at my TV.
Big CatThe Panthers mocking the Oilers is weird because they've already beaten them twice
Do you guys think it's a little weird that the Panthers are like mocking the Oilers to such a crazy extent? I'm just asking if it's weird? They beat 'em twice. It does feel like they're going a little extra hard. ... Why are they so obsessed with the Oilers?
Big CatThe 2025 Dodgers are the #1 champions of the calendar year across all sports
I'm gonna go Dodgers number one. Dodgers, Panthers, Florida basketball, Ohio State Football, Thunder, LSU Baseball, Eagles, Rory McIlroy. That feels good.
Big CatCal Raleigh will hit 67 home runs this season
Cal Raleigh hit four home runs this weekend... he's now on pace for 67 home runs, which is pretty fucking insane. ... He's gonna hit 67 home runs.
Who Is Back
Big CatWorld War III is overrated and the term is being overused
My Who's Back of the Week is World War III. We're doing it again, boys. I think this is the fifth World War III that's happened in the last four years. ... I'm so sick of everyone saying World War III just started.
Big CatJonathan Toews signing with the Winnipeg Jets is the perfect way for him to end his career
Jonathan Toews. He's back, he signed with the Winnipeg Jets, his hometown team. ... I'm happy he's able to now play again. Hopefully end his career the right way. 'cause it really sucked the way it ended in Chicago.
ZacMorgan Wallen is fully back after his recent controversies
Morgan Wallen... he had some controversies, you know, throwing a chair over their ledge... I just feel like he was a fantastic star. I think he's so back.
Interview
Cal RaleighRobot Umpires should stay out of baseball to preserve the human element of arguing and ejections
Out on Robot Umps. I mean, don't you wanna keep a little bit of the baseball in it? You wanna see managers and guys getting ejected, like that's part of the game. ... If you take that away, it's like there's not, you know, you need a little bit of excitement in the game.
