Recap
Big CatReturning to the NBA Finals is the crowning achievement for the Warriors' core
This feels like the crowning achievement for this group, to be able to go back there [the NBA Finals] after all the injuries, after KD came and left after guys are in and out and they've rebuilt themselves with that core of Klay, Steph and Draymond, and Steve Kerr there.
PFT CommenterThe Warriors would have made eight straight NBA Finals if not for injuries
I'm willing to make a giant excuse for the Warriors for the two out of the eight years that they did not make the finals. It's all because of injuries. Like the Warriors should have been in the finals eight years in a row.
PFT CommenterIf the Warriors rebound the ball well, they cannot be beaten
I feel like if they rebound, they can't be beat. And low-key, the Warriors are pretty good rebounding team. They're not the soft Warriors that people used to hate on a few years ago. I think they were like top five or top six in the NBA and rebounds this year.
Big CatThe Heat lost Game 5 because fans were stuck in long concession lines at halftime
Halftime happens and then we come back. The arena is empty. The fans are all in the building... but most are stuck, still waiting in line for food and watching the game from the monitors... with an empty arena, it's basically shoot around for [the Celtics]. By the time the crowd was back from the concessions, the momentum had turned completely on its head.
Big CatNathan MacKinnon's coast-to-coast goal was the greatest goal ever that everyone will forget
The hockey needed [Nathan] MacKinnon was maybe had the greatest goal ever that everyone's going to forget. That was my big hockey take... coast to coast, like insane goal.
PFT CommenterThe NHL is currently much better than the NBA
Basically what we can take away from these hockey playoffs is that NHL is way better than the NBA right now. The hockey games have been incredible.
Interview
Tracy McGradyOne-on-one basketball is the true, pure essence of the sport
One-on-one is the true essence of basketball. There's one-on-one and five on five, true matchups, but one-on-ones the true pure essence of basketball. I mean, we all grew up playing one-on-one.
Tracy McGradyKyrie Irving would be tough for LeBron James to guard one-on-one even in LeBron's prime
Kyrie [Irving] will be tough for LeBron [James] to even guard in his prime. Right. We haven't really seen Kyrie skillset. We've seen snippets, but it's hard to really, really display your ultimate skillset in a five-on-five setting. One-on-one Kyrie... you could probably see things that you never seen before.
Tracy McGradyDwight Howard is the most disrespectful omission from the NBA Top 75 list
I don't take away from anybody that was on that list... but Dwight Howard to me is really the most disrespectful one [omission]. His prime years was phenomenal. Like he was the most dominant big in our game in his prime years.
Tracy McGradyIf Grant Hill had stayed healthy, we would have created a dynasty in Orlando
If Grant Hill was healthy... I make it to the NBA finals with the Orlando Magic. We would have created a dynasty for sure.
Tracy McGradyThe Warriors took Game 4 off against the Mavericks just to avoid the sweep and get a Game 5 gate
They up three [games]. Game four is in Dallas... they took a night off game four, 'Hey, let's make them travel all the way back out to the Bay Area... we'll blow they ass out.' They're playing with their food before they eat it. I got to believe it's over.
Fyre Fest
HankTom Brady's drone-shot hole-in-one video is definitely fake
Tom Brady posted a video... it looks like he hits like a whatever 200 yard hole-in-one. And I saw it and was like, holy shit, this is the greatest shot of all time... and then I watched it a couple more times. It was like, this is clearly the most fake video of all time.
Big CatI have harder and tougher hands than Billy Football
I honestly I'll I'll like disavow my own title. I have stronger and tougher hands than [Billy Football]. I don't want the title. I don't want the belt. Admitting I have soft hands... they're soft. But you don't have hard hands. You are not as tough as you think you are.
