sending 5 first round picks AND having to extend a zero time all star was certainly a choice
3:56 fake enthusiastic windy is my favorite windy, second is angry windy
Sunday afternoon because they gotta fly out to the next city Sunday nite.
Why record this before all the great games that happened last night ??
Love how other teams keep underestimating the Rockets.
🚀🚀🚀
Josh hart said they're gonna have a discussion on hot to get this guy going….oh he got it going all right 😏
Brian supports the NBA cup bc he has to.
Its amazing to me the Media continues to praise Daniels but doesn't mention how awful Trae young is playing this year. He has all the assists (and turnovers) but also is incapable of scoring at any level of efficiency anymore. Trae is relying on Jalen Johnson to carry this Hawks team because he is the least efficient scorer in the entire league
Divincenzo didn’t go going until late December. Stop talking like you watched bro.
Why do the Rockets get so much disrespect…?
Seriously who cares about the nba cup?
love my hawks getting a near 7 min segment🥺
41:16 Maxi Kleber? lol
McMahon is right about Luka, because he did look slimmer Sunday night. Someone must have given him some inside info. I wonder sometimes if Luka eats really bad on road trips, because he doesn't really get into much better shape during the season.
It's Monday, and Luka said, "Hold my beer 🍺 😂😂😂
Bontemps has a knack, a calling, for interrupting at the exact time you should not interrupt.
Bontemps had Windy annoyed! Lmao
It’s cuz he switched his shooting form
We need to boycott Tim from Dallas always negativ
No one cares about the nba cup honestly
On Sengun “it was kinda like a Swaddle… a Swaggy Waddle typa thing!” 😂
Rockets is one of the best stories of the NBA this season. The little coverage NBA media gave to Rockets this season is shocking
People get on Bontempts about being boisterous and wrong but my word Windy is so loud and wrong so often and it makes be glad bontempts is there to correct
Him.
This show is boring. Only came to hear about the bucks
Mikals 31 and 7 3s after this went down a treat
Mavs fans hate you tim
The cup? Is of zero importance.
Magic vs Knicks on Tuesday should be good
Whats the NBA cup?
Cup is trash! Who cares?
Giannis is MVP
Please give Trae Young his due credit. Best passer in the league, no contest. These guys just hate Trae
Bontemps interruption: 76s undebatable have the best big 3 in the league
Here is how you fix the NBA all-star game.
1. USA vs world teams
2. You have to have an all-star game win in order to get a supermax.
While you're at it, fix the NBA by getting rid of the corner 3 point line.
Thanks for talking about my Pistons for 10 seconds. Tuesdays game against the Bucks is our biggest game since 2018 playoffs.
