This NBA league doesn't know what WE ARE THE WORLD MEANS IN AMERICA
These guys always sound so unhappy to be talking together.
Team USA won in spite of Steve Kerr, not because of him and his rotations..
He’s got LeBron and Steph to thank for not getting humiliated
I can't deal with Bontemps being in his 40s and still dressing like a 12 year old boy. He probably would wear a hat on ESPN tv if he could. Take it off you're an adult
Hilarious the media finally realizing how good this trade was for the Knicks. Wait till they see the new Wolves and realize this was a win win trade
Here we go again another podcast where these 3 take two preseason games half way around the world, one of which only had 2 STARTERS playing, and try and shove it into their narrative that the Nuggets are collapsing. Hilariously wrong
Hmm and still a lot of people had the Nuggets in the Finals and still whole heartedly saying don't matter who come out the west they beating the CELTICs, I guess Cs got the last laugh!
Julius actually play better 😂
Clippers discussion please
As Chaz Michael Michaels would say “KAT’s the steak and Brunson’s the sizzle” 😂
Can we get rid of bontemps and get lowe, thank you!
Crazy podcast title major espn slant “celtics suck lets talk about bronny” glad lowe isnt working there anymore and we get unbiased content from him cya in june for banner 19 parade 🫡
Celtics are a different team with porzingas
Tim look like 1090 Jake dad
The media is deep throating the knicks heavy smh..wait til they get a load of the 6ers sheesh!!
Windy pipe down, it’s the preseason.
Worldwide Windy
Charlotte looked good. You could’ve talked about them too
How does ESPN fire Zach Lowe yet keep this Tim Bontemps idiot? SMH. This guy sounds like he is selling tractors not giving serious NBA commentary. ESPN is failing.
Thus team should eb alot better then last year…not only do they get another year of chemistry…but pritchard hauser tillman all look good/ better / improved and in their prime …and their young guys walsh scheriman jd davidson queta even looking good and getting stronger better with more experience
You can tell Mcmahon is still salty Boston whooped his team in the finals
Somebody said if you like Boston, you should be happy with.. no. If you like Boston, you should not be happy
Hoop collective is dope 4 sure but i agree R.I.P. to the low post.
Nice to see you guys getting some airtime on ESPN, One of my favorite podcasts, and the best intro music by far! 3 amigos!
Tim 'Yeah I mean, look' Bontemps
STOP SAYING TRAYCE MCBRIDE. Say TRES or don’t say it at all. It’s so cringe. You don’t know Spanish speakers or they don’t feel comfortable enough with you to correct it
I truly wish ESPN would get off Bron and Bronny. So annoying, can y'all talk about anyone else?? They the only team in the league?
Bronny is a developmental prospect? But Lebron said last year that Bronny could help the Lakers right then! lmao
0:22 ADHD medications (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin) can overstimulate the nervous system, leading to increased blinking.
You guys spend weeks talking up the Sixers like they’re some dynasty even though all of them are perennial losers. Then you talk about Celtics fans rationality. Clowns.
Lowe Post 🙁
These guys are so tiring. I regret even tuning in. We need Zach Lowe
I miss having both the Hoops Collective and the Lowe Post on my podcast feed… 😪
Tell Bontemps to not dance hippity hop with us
Bontemps is an idiot
Why is Bontemps such a miserable person
Why Bontemps acting like DiVincenzo or NAW can't play the 3 in many lineups? Both of them have literally done it before. Not to mention Ant can also play the 3 bc of how strong and athletic he is. Rob will get plenty of chances and I would assume he is a part of the regular rotation for the Wolves
Tatum lacks AURA
When tim says that the Knicks star power drops off after the starters he is really under rating the bench when it comes to Tyler Kolek. Kolek is going to Do very well getting the ball to other players and scoring for themselves, Kolic will keep the knicks competitive while Jalen Bronson is resting on the bench. The nicks are getting Tyler at a bargain by drafting him in the second round. And he is going to produce for the knicks in the near future.
Celtics and nuggets, the 2 most hated teams in the NBA.
