Kirk GoldsberryThe 76ers are the biggest threat to the Celtics in the East if they are healthy
Dude, if they're healthy, it's the Sixers. I mean this, right? They were 31 and 8 when Embiid played this year, they were on pace to win about 65 games. The statistical markers with Embiid on the court scream 'we're a contender.' The clear answer was the Sixers if Embiid was healthy.

PFT CommenterThe Phoenix Suns are officially dead
The Suns are dead. I proclaimed it. The Suns are dead. They don't look like they have any life to him whatsoever. They look anemic. Bradley Beal looks pretty bad. No trade clauses, by the way, for Bradley Beal. So yeah, I think he's like the sixth highest player in the NBA. They're gonna be stuck with that for a little bit.
Big CatThe Timberwolves are legit and much better defensively than the Phoenix Suns
The Timberwolves are good and they're deep. Their two stars [Towns and Edwards] did not play great and the Timberwolves still won easily because they're just so much better defensively. And the Suns play iso ball. It's terrible basketball to watch. I think the Timberwolves are really, really good.
Big CatDevin Booker is a worse player when he wears a headband
I also have a vibe stat for this game. And it has nothing—it's based on absolutely nothing... I don't think Devin Booker's good when he wears a headband. I just don't know why. I think maybe his head is too constricted. He wears a tight headband.

He essentially turns really good offenses into terrible offenses... in these playoffs when he's on the court, the opponents have a offensive rating of 99.2. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means your team can't score for shit. It would be the worst offense in the NBA.
Kirk GoldsberryVictor Wembanyama is already the best defender of his generation
When we came into the league Big Cat, we were like, this guy is gonna be the best defender of his generation and he already is. It's incredible. And it's not just the blocks... it's a lot of invisible stuff that he does that just deter shots.
Kirk GoldsberryIf Josh Hart hits his three-pointers consistently, the Knicks' offense becomes nearly unbeatable
If Josh Hart starts making threes, that's gonna put the Spurs in a tough position right away. And to your point, it might make The Knicks just unbeatable because The Knicks are the hottest offense in the league right now.
