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.

View profileShane BaconTiger Woods will likely not be the Ryder Cup captain because he doesn't want the life-consuming media commitments.
I'd heard Tiger didn't really want to do it. I mean there's a lot of commitments. You see how involved Luke Donald is on the European side. It's basically become his life. I don't think Tiger wanted to do a lot of the background media stuff, things like that. So I don't necessarily think he was gonna do that anyway.
Shane BaconTiger Woods is focused on playing the US Senior Open to win the only USGA title he is missing.
There's been a lot of talk around [Tiger] potentially playing in the US senior open with an opportunity and nobody's ever won the US Junior, US Junior Amateur, US Amateur, US Open and a US senior. Tiger is a big history buff... I think there's a focus on potentially playing in that at some point this summer.
Shane BaconScotty Scheffler's iron play has been average and inconsistent for a pro golfer this season.
I'd say bad for a pro golfer. He's 82nd right now [in strokes gained]. He's average on the PGA tour this season with his irons. This is a stat that he's led each of the last three seasons. If Steph Curry started to miss free throws, you'd be looking around going, what's going on here?
