The Warriors training staff is sketchy and prioritizes the team over player health

My hot seat is the Warriors training staff. Since the Durant injury, there's been rumors about how Durant was ripshit over the Warriors training staff for kind of lying to him and telling him that the injury wasn't as bad... And Iguodala went on The Breakfast Club today, and he basically revealed himself that he had a fractured leg in the 2018 playoffs, but that was kept under wraps and downplayed.

While controversial, several players including Iguodala corroborated these claims, though the team denied wrongdoing.

The NBA holding their awards show in late June is a stupid move

I don't want a fucking award show on a random Monday in June. Mentally, we do as fans [care about the postseason results]. I'm thinking, of course James Harden didn't win it because the Rockets flamed out again. It's so stupid that they do it this way. They should just do it right before the playoffs.

The NBA eventually moved away from the separate awards show format in 2021 due to low interest and the timing issues Big Cat mentioned.

The Houston Rockets are in hilarious denial about the James Harden and Chris Paul dysfunction

The Rockets stuff is so funny to me... Chris Paul also had a quote that was essentially the 'I'm not owned' [tweet]. He said, 'I never asked for a trade. I never demanded a trade. I'll be in Houston. I'm happy about that.' You guys thinking that me, Chris Paul, notorious tough person to play with, is not vibing with James Harden, also notorious tough person to play with—that's funny to me, guys. I'm laughing here. This is so funny.

Reports of dysfunction were widespread and Chris Paul was eventually traded to the Thunder later that summer (July 2019) in exchange for Russell Westbrook, confirming the partnership was over.

Doc Rivers appeared to be a better coach when Austin Rivers was on his team because coaching a bad player makes you look like a genius

Doc Rivers appeared to be a better coach when he had his son on the team because his son was such a shithead that if you could squeeze a little bit of blood out of Austin Rivers, then you looked like a fucking genius. [Big Cat: You should not have gotten rid of one of your worst players.]

This is a subjective theory on coaching perception in the NBA.

The Browns cannot make a serious playoff run

Could they make a run to the Super Bowl? No. Yes or no. Yeah. Think of the Browns. The Browns aren't good. We know the Browns aren't good.

The Browns' eventual playoff performance will determine whether they make a serious postseason run.

The Giants are a strong play with the points

I love the Giants nine. JJ McCarthy was phenomenal last week. You look great. The Texans are not great.

Hank predicted the Giants would be a strong play with +9 points against the Texans. The New York Giants defeated the Houston Texans 27-21 in overtime on October 25, 2026, winning the game outright and easily covering the spread.

The Patriots' 2026 season and Super Bowl outcome are not yet resolved.
