Ryan WhitneyMy Stanley Cup Final pick is Tampa Bay vs. Edmonton — and Edmonton won't lose without the Panthers to stop them
I'm going Tampa Bay versus Edmonton. But — if they go to the cup final again this year, you guys will have to just say okay, this team is incredible. I know I'm saying just go to the cup final. But of all the years of the past two, including this one, they're so much worse than they were the last two years. So if somehow it happens again, I just don't see them losing, 'cause there's no Panthers to dummy them down.

Big CatAndre Drummond might be better than Joel Embiid
Andre Drummond... might be better than [Joel] Embiid. Max, I'm not gonna lie... He still has his appendix. Best ability is availability.

I've also already said if we beat the Celtics, that's, that's an NBA finals. I don't care what happens the rest of it.
Big CatThe Orlando Magic are a total bummer to watch
The [Orlando] Magic are the biggest bummer in the world to watch. Yeah. That team stinks. They are, they just play just basketball. That's not fun to watch. Paolo [Banchero] stinks. Paolo is so bad. He was like seven for 22. It's like my turn your turn offense.

The mc of the event's, like, dude, these things you can't chug out of 'em. You have to drink it slow because you can't chug. They end up spilling. It's impossible to chug. I said, oh, all right. Well I wish you told me that beforehand mc guy.
Ryan WhitneyConnor McDavid has lost his superpower due to injury
McDavid's hurt. And it just sucks... It's like he lost his superpower. So he skates like no one I've ever seen before... And now he doesn't have that. He still has the straightaway speed, I've noticed... but the little cutbacks where he is beating D out of the corner... He doesn't have it.
Ryan WhitneyThe NBA product has never been worse
The product's never been worse. The NBA and I don't watch it. So you can say, how do you know the product? It's, it's terrible. And if you're not somebody, I've asked you guys... lead off your show with hockey when football season's not going. But no, you guys stick to basketball and it's horrible.
