As a die hard cavs fan, some BS we pulled sunday. all it was was job saving for GM and the coach. Fire JB.
Darius Garland makes me angry to watch. One night he's good and the next he stinks. He chooses the wrong shots when they are needed the most and regularly gets the ball taken for not paying attention 🙄
Orlando will destroy the cavs for thinking they are sweet. Because the Magic certainly are not that.
bontemps was COOKIN 🔥🔥💯💯
Jovic and Jaquez will shock everyone this postseason, Spo finally let them play to their strengths. 👀
Bontemps needs his own show and it'll be so good
ohm whatever his name with some serious loser energy defending the mavs and cavs throwing games – don't bring him back thanks
Bontemps comes across as the angry New Yorker yelling at people on the subway. What's ironic is that the translation of his name from French is "Good times" 😂. Is that dude ever happy, having good times?
Ohm takes are just bad – the lakers take talking about losing to face OKC instead – when they just spoke about how soft it looks mentally when referencing the Cavs
I love the Hoop Collect., but with all due respect, the guest you had on today is the first time I didn't listen to a full podcast of yours since the last time he was on. Dude doesn't let you guys interject, talks over you. Very disrespectful, really didn't like him talking. My rant of the day. Jeebus
That’s exactly why Coach JB Bickerstaff should get fired. He has that loser mentality. Not a good look. I’ve wanted to fire him since last year.
Totally disagree with Tim. All those teams that Tim mentioned about not “ducking” were title contenders. Cleveland isn’t. For them to make it to the second round based on their injuries and everything else will be seen as a success. Also all everyone has been talking about in the media is how the 76ers with Joel is the biggest threat to Boston. So you can play the #1 threat in the second round of the #2 threat in the first. Stop it. If I was a Cleveland fan, I would be happy with what they did.
Laker fan since the showtime era here. Agree 100% with Bontemps. Lakers will either beat Denver or go home. If the Lakers are going to lose to Denver and go home, I'd rather it happen sooner rather than later- if it happens sooner I can cancel my YouTube NBA subscription and focus on the Dodgers. Lakers play for Championships not runners-up in the Western Conference Finals.
So disappointing to hear Ohm’s voice instead of “howdy, partners.”
If this is an All or Nothing Season for Lebron, then he shouldn’t want to avoid Denver; it would eventually be inevitable.
Mad the cavs just playing smart. Gtfoh
You aint a true laker fan if you really trying to avoid the nuggets. What a joke!!!!!!!
45:55 Vontemps take a chill pill and let the dude talk. We don't need Stephen A. on this show.
And YES LeBron wants to win a series; why do you think he's playing so hard? That question is what's insane
As a lakers fan man… this is a tuff position. But I’d rather us play the nuggets fully healthy round 1 rather than face them later when we get fatigue
They wanna make a big fuss about Cleveland to get Mitchell out of there this game is about match ups and if you let others go at it and bang each other up you possibly have a easier path to get deeper in playoffs!
Cavs still had winning their division within their grasp.
I can't tell if Bontemps is aware Mavericks didn't control their own Play-in destiny last year. Thunder beat the Jazz and the David Roddy/Kenny Lofton Grizzlies to secure the spot over the Mavericks regardless of what the Mavericks did. So they tanked 2 games for a draft pick, they were eliminated from playoffs
You should absolutely consider your match up opponents in the playoffs before winning in the regular season. If it's an advantage to play Orlando in the first Round do it! All this winning meaningless games Bravado is nonsense. The regular season finish means little compared to positioning for a deep playoff run.
Rammed it down their throats
Like he knows anything about what it takes to be a winning organization
Bontemps is the type to request cheese only on his pizza. You just want cheese? You sure?
If I’m the magic I’m trying to embarrass the cavs, oh you wanted us? Here we are.
Lakers are not beating the Thunder
Ohm is sooooooo right
