Good chitchat Brian🎉🙂
Buddy on the left woke up grumpy and aggressive today 😂
Thinking about the fact you have a healthier Klay, and the combined bball IQ of CP & Draymond and Curry being off ball more than ever….GS is scaaaaaary. People sleeping on CP3 like a mf. Dude is one of the best PGs of all time. Very interesting move.
SOMEone had their espresso lol
why is Paul George gonna be a Hall Of Famer??
As a wizards fan, I’ve definitely opened up to the Beal trade but there’s no way u can justify the porzingis trade. The value of the porzingis trade for Washington literally makes me want to vomit. I don’t care if it’s better than the Marcus Morris trade, that means literally nothing to me
Are these guys retarded who cares about the warriors
Sacramento going for Kuzma?
Bontemps is a angry lil fella
I think you guys are over valuing Marcus Smart’s contribution lol.
I think the Mavs practice facility is just called Mavericks Training Center.
Jordan is goat he’s making billions selling a failed franchise with a starting lineup featuring a thieve, wife beater and now an accessory to murder
klay needs a cut. draymond not worth 30/yr. Esp if wiggins, who's better than either of them, took a paycut himself.
GS said F Chris Paul cuz CP didn't let Curry get practice on the court before the games in Houston. CP booked the courts so Steph had to go somewhere else to practice, from what I recall
I don't see Dray going to the Kings. It would be a bit redundant with him and Sabonis. Kings should go after Kuzma imo.
Chri Paul signed with the Opps lmao
MacMahon! The comedian of the Hoop Collective!
Malika andrews coverage was absolutely deplorable how she sheared Brandon millers name I’m really really really really really really over her commentary as a nba analyst I stopped watching the nba today after the Jalen stunt she pulled and no I’m not a sexist. I raised 4 daughters 1 of which identifies as trans and 1 son so let’s clear that whole argument out the way. I don’t like her relationship with her cast she seem be a walking agenda and slanderous towards certain men of certain decent. I have been watching ESPN for years actually visited the campus when I lived in ct. I don’t like her commentary just a comment
When it was brogdon it was a great trade but once they got ride of smart it didn't make sense I would of traded d white before smart I wish brogdon never got hurt cus that was the main issue had he not got hurt it would of never been a issue
Yeah this Celtics team definitely needs to make 1 more move cause if this backfires and you trade the heart and soul of your team that whole organization is gonna have to restart and get rid of all the management and coaching
I don't get why the celtics didn't trade D white pritchard an the 35th pick instead 0f smart smh so many other options besides smart
Windy looking fresh tonight
If healthy, Brogdon should be the starting PG.
I love you guys
My no 1 podcast
Trey killed it yesterday.
100% chance Dray punches CP3 in the face week 1"IF" they get him back.
Sacramento about to sign kyle kuzma. You heard it from me 1st.
Imagine the dystopia of cable television as your only source of NBA analysis.
Bontemps in rare form interrupting and correcting every 15 seconds. Classic!
i love the windhorst fingers meme 🤣 the draft itself wasn't super interesting to me but I'm excited to see what trades happen. feels like there's going to be a lot of movement. should be fun
Aside from Boston hiring new asst coaches an aquiring Porzingus, Tatum has to be more consistent and Brown has to play more under control to reduce turnovers.
Best Boyz on tv 🏀➿
I can't stand that ESPN tries to compare lebron and victor, nothing at all lebron has ever done can touch what victor is gonna do or what he's done so far. Lebron is nothing to what victor will be at any age.
The Warriors didn't need Durant offensively to beat Houston. His defense was good but he actually slowed down their offense in the series. They needed KD to beat Cleveland and Toronto
53:40 😂😂😂
Bontemps – trying to be the smartest guy in the room for an hour. 🤦
Windhorst starts with a good point then Bontemps interrupts and then McMahon get a joke in at the end.
bro how an espn thing like the hoop collective only gonna get 570 likes but lakers nation videos from the draft got 2k likes?
The beginning of the end. Dreymond will leave. He hates CP3. Then you trade PBJ for a player you could’ve picked up after the draft. Dumbleavy is not making a good start to his reign.
No way we are praising Washington for have four pick swaps with THE SUNS. Those swaps are literally pointless unless Phoenix somehow implodes. There won't be a single season in the next 5 years where Phoenix has a better pick than the Wizards. The only benefit of trading Beal, was getting off that horrific contract.
Memphis/Boston trade. I like this one, but I like it even less when you see the Celtics got TWO first round picks for Porzingis. At this point in the timeline Washington still have none, only swaps with Phoenix. I do like Tyus Jones, but this is a rebuilding team. By the time their rebuild is established, Jones will be older and on the move.
To the Golden state trade. This trade I love for Washington, but the first round pick from Golden State is still under while given the fact that its TOP 20 protected in 2030.
Wizards are a year or two late on a rebuild with minimal assets in return for Beal and Porzingis. Ignore those Phoenix pick swaps, their irrelevant. They traded Beal and Porzingis for cap space, Tyus Jones, Poole (who Golden State couldn't wait to get rid of), a 2030 top 20 protected pick, and a bunch of second rounders.
Wizards are a bottom tier organization who made bottom tier moves. They deserve ZERO praise.
A BALL IN A HOLE THATS CRAZY ! NOBODY HAS EVER PUT A BALL IN A HOLE BEFORE ! oh wait not counting the 10 billion baskets already made ! but he can beat the other team ! people are stupid
Am I the only one who thought Bontemps was in his 50’s from listening to the pod?
Bontemps loves the sound of his own voice.
