Shane BaconWill Zalatoris is a 'playoff' type player who finds another gear in major championships regardless of his recent form
I like [Will] Zalatoris as well this week... the harder the golf course the better it is for his game because he hits it so well... It's almost like guys that step up in the playoffs, right? Maybe they're not great during the regular season, but they find another gear or they're game translates in the playoffs. He's one of those playoff type of players.

Big CatNikola Jokic is the best basketball player in the world, and that's a fact
I am so happy that I'm alive, that I am blessed to be able to do a sports podcast while Nikola Jokic is playing basketball because holy shit, he is the best. ... remind everyone that yes, I am the best player in the world. And that's a fact.
PFT CommenterIt is better to guard Nikola Jokic with average defenders than one elite defender like Rudy Gobert
I think it's almost better to guard Jokic with like one and a half slash two average defenders than it is to guard him with one good defender [like Rudy Gobert].
PFT CommenterThe Timberwolves look like they are still exhausted from the Tom Thibodeau era and have officially hit a wall
The Timberwolves actually, they look better at times defensively with [Rudy] Gobert on the bench... I think maybe we need to have the conversation about the Timberwolves. They look like they're still exhausted from when [Thibodeau] coached 'em back in 2018. They hit the wall after game two. I feel like this is it. Classic [Thibodeau] just ran its guys too hard and now they can't win another playoff game.

I don't like Scottie this week at Shinnecock. I just, again, I think we've seen him more frustrated this year. I think it's getting to him a little bit and I think it's a golf course where if you're not driving it great, you're gonna get yourself in trouble... I don't think this is the US Open that Scottie wins.
Shane BaconThe winning score at the US Open at Shinnecock will be over par
If those are the conditions, this is gonna be an over par US open. You're gonna see 3, 4, 5 over win come Sunday. And if the forecast holds up, that will be the case.
Shane BaconJoaquin Niemann will win his first major championship at the US Open
I like Joaquin Niemann a lot this week with trajectory just hitting it under the wind. I think this could be his major championship that he actually bucks that.
