Where’s the Mavs talk 🤨
Edit: Just realized this was before Thursdays slate of games
First
I here.. I viewed.. I doin' my part!
Edit: Warriors dont have anyone with a huge ego, so i think going 12 deep will work.. factor in injuries and the occasional rest for Steph n Dray.. 'Going 12 deep' is doable.. just have to have the right people, which i feel they do (bunch of youngsters who dont know any better and vets who've made their money and just want to win now).. Now you could argue Draymond has a big ego (he does, no doubt), but he's been paid and the JP3 stuff is behind him, so I wouldn't worry about him.. THe only one I'd worry about in that regard is Kuminga.. He wanted something like $40m/yr for his extension LOL.
The kid can score, no doubt. He's gifted as anyone on the block in the last 10 years. Impeccable feetwork (hi shaq), but with high-end athleticism and above avg hops.. His biggest detriment is his defensive awareness.. his on ball defense (his man has the ball or is the screener in PnR) is okay, it's off the ball where he gets caught ball watching and his man cuts backdoor or flares to the 3pt line and he doesnt know it.. It's the #1 reason he doesnt play more (and is helpful in finding who the real hoop fans are, because the casuals dont see the defensive issues, lol).. oh and he fouls EVERYONE.. had something like 3 fouls in 8 minutes or something.. agianst portland… cmon man..
Embiid and Pg 13- The STREET CLOTHES duo
😂😂😭😭🧂🧂🧂
I literally stopped listening to podcast to wait to watch the YouTube video once Brian said not to
You look dapper Windy, don't let them bring you down you fashionista 😂
Wow, this pod really roots against the Lakers. All the other games were meh with nothing very interesting
I was on the podcast app on iPhone and came straight here because ya said ya was worried about the YouTube well we here now 🎉
Windy you look totally normal
LOL the immolated graphic 😂
That's either the smallest headset I've ever seen or the largest noggin. 😁
windy flying a plane and doing a podcast
Never expected McMahon to defend the Knicks of all people lol bontempts and windy sold stock
mans did NOT wanna stop by cavs corner 🤣🤣
It’s kinda crazy that Minnesota would break up their big man duo that’s what made them so dangerous was that size now not so much we shall see how they do but I think both teams may have taken a step back from last year
Bontemps is your typical Philly guy, bashing New York after one game and then sweeping it up for Embiid and his hometown Sixers. Philly sports journos are the worst.
Right. The CAVS made a statement, but my Magic dog walking the Heat (a team we haven't beaten in South Beach since 2019) didn't?
Also would have liked the sun's game being covered! Still love you guys 💯
Windy, you clean bro, don't trip! 🫡 lol
😂😂😂Bontem tears
Came here because I wanted a sandwich.
Ham n cheesehow bontemps has a job still idk lol
God's grace is not in LeBron James life
This clown was the one saying philly had the best summer and contenders in the east. Within one week where PG is hurt already and Embiid hurt as normal, now hes trying to walk it back. Thats why he is the biggest schmuck basketball talker around. And they fired Zach Lowe and kept this clown around
immolated
Only injuries can stop the Celtics this season. They lost 4 times total in the playoffs last season. Don't see anyone beating them 4 times in 7 games. Not if Tatum and Brown are both healthy.
First game in, Embiid will have someone roll into his legs and he'll be out for the season.
Listening to this on YouTube to allay MacMahon's concerns, but guys, you gotta get me a way to subscribe on YouTube without subscribing to literally all ESPN-NBA content. I don't like all of it, so I'm not going to subscribe to all of it. Podcasts do let me do let me subscribe granularly, which is a big reason I enjoy them.
Try decaffeinated, Bontemps.
man said he feel like a dork.. understatement of the year
Bontemps will forever be a Sixers/Embiid glazing clown, so pathetic. And the hate for the Knicks is so clear. Just admit you're biased af.
Someone get Embid some Similac.
HEY WINDY AM I CLEAR FOR TAKE-OFF? OVER!
Why is no one talking about how where missing our 2 bigs
Definitely right Greatest first half I’ve ever seen
The Knicks and Sixers are not serious teams 🤡 🤡
I would watch the YouTube show more if they interacted in the chat. Otherwise it’s just another passive way of watching this show.
76ers have not recovered from Markelle Fultz pick
Brian looks very distinguished in his suit, so "No Worries" there…. (You Tube watchers unite!)
Windy looks like he’s doing an ESPN game 😂😂 can’t help but laugh Sorry Windy
The fans are paying to see the stars. If they’re healthy and not playing bc of the playoffs, 99% fans can’t afford playoff games.
I don't believe THIBS survives this Season
