Recap
PFT CommenterSteph Curry is now in the conversation for best basketball player of all time
Steph Curry is now in the conversation for best basketball player of all time, all time, but he still hasn't had the, the MVP trophy handed to him by the commissioner yet because we had the backup commissioner that filled in for silver and did that tonight.
HankDerrick White was the worst player in the last two games of the NBA Finals
I was going to wear this shirt that we just came out with for Derrick White, who fucking sucks is maybe the worst player in the last two games. So that was just dumb on my part. Cause I thought about it after game three and by the time the shirt was made, he was just an absolute garbage can.
PFT CommenterThe NBA Finals moment was too big for Jayson Tatum
Tatum might've just shown his true colors. Like that's, that's who he is under the bright lights. I don't know. But that's a good spin zone Hank.
HankThe current Celtics are destined to be like the 2012 Thunder and never return to the Finals
I feel like the only real good comparison to the Celtics team is the fucking Thunder and they never got back.
Big CatBench depth doesn't matter in the NBA Finals; you only need a tight seven-man rotation
We know this every year we learn this every year. We forget it during the regular season, like bench doesn't really matter in the NBA finals in the playoffs, deep in the playoffs. Like it does because you need like one or two guys, but guys that were really good at playing bench minutes in February, like, you need, you need a five that is going to play like 42 minutes.
Big CatSteph Curry is the #2 point guard of all time and better than Magic Johnson
He's, I don't know where he's number two point guard of all time. And I guess you could probably make the argument now that like, people will probably argue that he's better than magic. I don't know. You know, I'm not an MBA historian, but he is number two all time.
Interview
Bob HarigWill Zalatoris is a strong bet at the US Open because hard courses mitigate his poor putting
I liked Zalatoris because he's going to always be better on a hard golf course. Cause he's not a great putter. And this is if you can, if you can to put it to death at a us open, you're going to be up there because it's not going to be that much under par.
Bob HarigJustin Thomas is a top pick for the US Open because his motivation is higher after nearly winning the week before
Justin Thomas to me seems a good pick right now. I mean, I think it's actually good. He didn't win last week. It gives you just that little, extra bit of motivation and you don't get complacent because you're coming off a win.
Patrick WisdomMLB has been secretly switching to more 'lively' baseballs during specific games
I think they've like secretly been like switching in some good balls. Cause certain games, like on certain times, I don't want to say anything specific, but Or a lot of hard hit balls and they're going out of the park... off your bat... sometimes like there's balls that we hit and we're like, oh, that's gone. And then next thing you know, it's caught.
Fyre Fest
Billy FootballThe new lacrosse movie will be as impactful for the sport as Drive to Survive was for F1
The sport was honestly amazing. It was like, I think that it's going to be as huge for lacrosse as DRS [Drive to Survive] is revive was for F1. It was an amazing feature.
Billy FootballBlogging was easier in the early 2010s because there were fewer bloggers and more unique topics
I think you blogged a different era. I will say... I mean, there was less bloggers and there was more topics to blog she could get... I mean, there was less bloggers and there was more topics.

PFT CommenterThe Lightning are the worst back-to-back champions of all time
The idea that the, the lightning might be the worst back-to-back champions of all time. If you look at the bubble when put an asterix on that, and then you look at them playing like maybe one of the worst Stanley cup champion or say like a finals teams in recent memory, like last 30 years and the Canadians, and now they finally run into a wagon in the Stanley cup finals.
