This intros seems old and dated, the show also starts slow. Fix that.
Really would appreciate some embedded conversation timestamps in the future
Windy bouta put up Wilt Chamberlain numbers this holiday 💯
Headline: Rockets off to a surprising start
Picture: Chris Paul in a gsw jersey?
Bontemps I think he just likes hearing himself talk.
Like the jazz last year…so dont get all stupid
Yeah too much Adele pretty sure very few basketball fans need an Adele update. Rich Paul is partly to blame for this player empowerment that results in James Harden and Ja Morant. Im for the players to a point but the medias demand for all the great players to play only in huge markets is terrible for the game. The league is getting sloppy they keep attributing it to more skilled players. So skilled they make all kind of mistakes and goofy turnovers while almost no one plays defense while players make 50-70 million bucks smh. They are trying to tax the fans for everything they can thats why they come out with endless jerseys now.
Windy energy at the beginning of the pod lets me know he ready to eat 😂
If you are the Clippers why wouldn't you stagger the minutes with the 4 stars? They should be playing with 2-3 of the 4 at all times why would you ever have 1 or 0 of them on the floor unless you are matching up against Boston or something.
That Adele segment was something i never knew i needed. 🤣🤣🤣
Ong I didnt know they were that serious. I thought it was just a hot fling or something. Im happy for them both. They seem to genuinely be in love with each other.
And yeah, everyone loves Adele. She is one of those celebrities that not one person will say a negative thing about her.
I keep trying to watch this show but can't get past the sound quality. Cmon ESPN, get these guys some podcast gear they can set up anywhere.
Oof that shot at the Celtics from McMahon
Really weird episode
Timestamps please !!
Silas was a complete and utter moron. Let's call a spade spade. Never believed in ALP.
Rockets could easily have been 8-4 if not for the ref fsvortism of the LA teams.
Come on you guys need to put stamps on a 2 hour podcast lol and Fk Bontemps as a Lakers fan 💪🏻💛💜💛💜
Kendra spot on about Klay.
The guy definitely needs to go midrange more. That’s where his money is. The three will open up way more when you do this, kids.
Love the pod, but Bontemps is such a buzzkill.
awesome extravaganza. Happy thanksgiving
As Always, Tim Bontemps Runs This Podcast.
Saying Sengun cannot be the main guy to a championship is what y’all experts said about Nikola Jokic
What a great podcast! Love when the OG crew are complete and then they bring the guesses
marc j spears is utterly useless on these shows
Not surprised, Ime is a good coach and knows how to get the most from his players. If we still had him in Boston we might have won last year.
Talked to the Bucks corespondent for 20 minutes and not a word about the Bucks. I agenda is set. 10-4 and playing well. Windy has been hatin the whole time since Giannis resigned because I won't have his storyline anymore. Pfft!
Portland is about to have a fire sale soon so I would love to see a video of mock trades for those players. Grant, thybulle, Brogden and potentially Simon’s.
❤
These Jalen Green takes are hilarious 😂
1:58:25 was crazy from Tim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
59:00 please make it happen ronni 2k ¡¡ please please¡¡¡
Holy cow. Who care about Rich Paul and that singer. Took forever. This is a basketball podcast. Not tmz
This was great Jackson, love the team reporters giving their takes. See if that can happen more often. How is Kevin Pelton not working for an NBA team?
Clippers could be renamed the "Canes". They're all going to need one soon enough. George and Leonard have to be motivated to play considering nothing is a given anymore. What motivates Harden is anyone's guess. Most entertaining when using the ball as a weapon on the way to the basket.
Bull's foot is on the last rung of pergatory. Just let yourself go. In the NBA, getting worse is better when you're where the Bulls have been the last year and a half. Bulls fans have been delusional about this team.
Bontemps seems to have a problem with bigs like sabonis, sengun, vucevic, etc 🤔
Please!
Keep hammering the Bulls every chance you get.
Pile the shame on.
