The Atlanta Hawks are currently playing like an elite basketball team

The Hawks had a really good off-season. Revamped their entire team and now they're just playing like elite basketball. They're just super athletic, they're super fast and they can shoot the three.

While the Atlanta Hawks had a strong finish to the 2025-2026 regular season, securing a playoff spot and division title, their performance in the playoffs did not demonstrate 'elite basketball.' They were eliminated in the first round, losing 4-2 to the New York Knicks, with the series ending in three consecutive blowout losses, including a record-setting 51-point defeat in the final game.

Rory McIlroy is ducking this podcast and it is a glaring empty spot on his resume

A lot of people are saying that Rory can't go on the big one. That he's been ducking this and that's gonna be the one glaring empty spot on his resume when everyone looks at it, when it's all said and done.

While Rory has never appeared on PMT, the idea that it is a 'glaring empty spot' on his actual professional resume is humorously subjective.

Rory McIlroy would have choked this Masters away if he hadn't won last year

I actually think that if he didn't win last year, this one, he would've probably choked away because he kind of had that huge lead. He had a six-stroke lead going into the weekend. He did not play great on Saturday. Everyone kind of caught up to him. He didn't make any huge, huge mistakes on the back nine because he felt confident.

This is a psychological counter-factual that cannot be proven, but it aligns with Rory's history of major struggles prior to 2025.

Scottie Scheffler missed his critical putt on 17 because he knows the course too much and overthinks it

The putt on 17 just didn't turn at the last second. It was like half a ball that he missed by. Sometimes these guys know the course too much and they overthink the course. It's like if you're married to somebody for like 60 years, all you do is fight. You know, you lose sight of what makes that person so great.

A common golf trope about over-reading greens, though impossible to verify.

Freddy Peralta is deliberately pitching poorly to save his best stuff for his next contract

Gotta save it for his next team. I can't explain it. He fucking sucks. I imagine he's gonna save it when he gets paid.

Inherently subjective fan cope.

Mitchell Robinson fits perfectly with the Celtics because he provides second and third chances on offense

I kind of figured he was going to go to the Celtics just because he does fit perfectly with how they play. Live by the three, die by the three. And if you die by the three, Mitchell Robinson gives you the opportunity to get second and third chances just nonstop.

Robinson's offensive rebounding is a statistical fact, making the fit claim a standard basketball take.
