So basically they traded Smart for Holiday and Williams for Portzingas…..wow. what an upgrade
Good trade for Portland. More picks. Two players.
Williams was super vuluable until he got hurt and missed most of last season and was ineffective much of the time he was on the court. Injuries have caught up to him again
They killed their depth. Not a good trade.
Latvian is injury prone, plays half a season, Dame hurt frequently being small. No one talks about health.
These media gurus are pretty much always wrong, they have no clue. Look at the last champ. Everything will backfire. One major injury changes the whole dynamic.
Horford wasn’t really effective in the playoffs so we’ll see about that favorite thing
God Wendy is flat leaned out. Anyone with any experience with downers, as in pain pills ( vicodin, percocet, morphine , fentanyl , etc) benzodiazapines ( xanax, klonipin, valium ) can clearly see that this is not sleep deprivation, being tired, or even having one too many drinks. Cheers Wendy, i enjoy my pharmacy as well. Be safe and all within moderation.
Tim Bontemps has that type of face, voice, and attitude you'd luuuuuuuuuv to bash in. I don't know why, but I just HATE him when he talks. He just seems so smug and cocky.
This dude must be a Celtics fan cause no one really cares n thinks the Celtics making it now! Yes holiday is dope but chill out they gave up four great players for on decent player n holiday portzingus 😂😂😂 come on man that boy isn’t moving any needles chillllll tf out
I was critical of Bontemps on the last podcast for taking up too much air so I’ve gotta give him props here. This is the perfect balance for these three. Bontemps picks his spots with solid, respectable takes but still let’s Windy run the show. McMahon comes in with some more lighthearted offerings that always hold up. Love this podcast.
The ending is so perfect 😂 I love the rapport of these 3
Trading Marcus Smart for Jrue Holiday makes no sense whatsoever.
Lol at James Harden talking about himself sacrificing for the team, after having abandoned his last 2 teams.
Here's what i cant stand about folks,,, around 19:00 dude says "Heat have MADE 2 Finals last 3 yrs so they are FINE!" …. In SAME PODCAST say "Celtics NEED TO win whole🏆,, making these Conference Final and FINALS last 5+yrs NOT ENOUGH…"
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE without sounding like a CLEAR Celtics hater….🤦🏿♂️
Celtics are #2 in east and and #6-7 in the league
Gee willikers
Ya Al Horford playing center is hilarious. This team will get dominated with any team with a competent big man
The Celtics trades 3 first round picks not 1….what is windy smokin
Bull Durham. First line of the movie. Spotted that a mile away.
Sounds like the bucks need to trade for this Holiday guy. 😅
Bontemps get the Boston c*** out of your mouth
The only thing that could stop the Celtics from reaching the finals besides health is their coach. Id feel a lot better if Ime was still here.
Bontemps throat is hurting after this one
Good job everyone. Always better with less interruptions. Despite all the big moves in the East, I believe the Warriors will win the title due to a big year from Wiggins, the budding stardom of Kuminga, and the stability and experience provided by CP3. Klay is also recovering and motivated and Saric could be an underrated acquisition. A deep and loaded team that knows how to win.
Denver Nuggets are the reigning NBA champs
"The Magic of Editing" XD So funny <3
Bontemps suck
I was waiting for the podcast since the news of Holiday broke. Clearly a two team race to the finals! I got Milwaukee winning it all if everyone is healthy. Best pod ever!!
Come one now! We all know Dame would not have signed the extension if he hadn't been given certain promises that were obviously not upheld.
As a frenchman living now in the US, bontemps, PLEASE PLEASE pronounce your surname correctly. You're literally killing my and hundreds of millions of people's ears by massacring your family name! It just sounds SO, SO bad!
And the Denver Nuggets have a full year of healthy Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. after winning it all with those two being about 75%.
Too many new players on the Bucks, Celtics, Suns, and Blazers (and too many key players lost). If any of these 4 teams ever win a championship, it won't be for another couple of years, at least. Titles go to talented teams who've played together for a few years. Teams fitting that profile: Nuggets, Warriors, and Kings. One of those 3 represents the West in the Finals. The East is wide open, and whichever team gets to the Finals loses to the Nugs, Dubs, or Sactown.
Someone explain to me how White and Jrue are the best perimeter defenders in the league, when Ben Simmons and Mikal Bridges in the same competition?
@18:25
when Boston beats bucks in the playoffs 😂
Brad Steven’s has done a fantastic job
