Guy in the middle is sooo wrong about the Cavs and Donovan Spida Mitchell
Mobley’s improvement this year makes the Cavs scary and this is from a Knick fan
So wild and random for Windhorst to say it makes him happy that Paulo (with 5 games played) is getting more votes than Brunson
Healthy cavs are dangerous this year imo
Cavs are tailor made for the Celtics.. The Celtics even without Mr Glass win that series in 6 or less 😂
This Celtics team reminds me of the 2001 Lakers. Coasting in the regular season, resting guys, only to destroy teams in the POs. This Celtics team are better on the road. Hallmark of a championship team.
Dude in the middle is a 🤡
Yes until further notice
Take a drink every time Windhorst says "second night of a back to back"
Until Boston is beaten 4 times in a series they are undoubtedly the best team in the league
naji didnt connect on the 'punch' yes these suspensions are too much n its clear ppl enjoy the action
27:14 Diminishing the Knicks win streak while that same Magic team beat Boston in the same stretch. Classic ESPN
Norman Powell deserves to be an All Star bro no doubt
Lol it's not the knicks lol
I used to respect Bontemps opinions, but he just seems to hate on certain teams. Never heard this guy give the Cavs any credit once.
Think bontemps needs a holiday and a good rest
WindyWindbag is from Akron Ohio that’s all you need to know…made his money following LeBron James everywhere::.don’t listen to him.
Celtics are the best team unless someone beats them in the Finals
Cavs doing ok now but Knicks still a better team… watch come playoffs
THEY KEEP TRYING TO SAY THE CAVS ARE NOT PLAYING GOOD TEAMS WOW YALL MAKE ME HIGHLY UPSET I CANT STAND IT
CAVS
Bontemps is so annoying
Celtics fan here. Im not concerned about the Knicks or Philly. Im more concerned about the cavs,but we are tied roght now and the Celtics let them escaped when the Celtics let the cavs comeback with 5 minutes to go being up by 10 at Cleveland without white and brown.
As a Cavs fan this is refreshing to finally hear some solid respect for what they are doing! By the way the OKC game coming up is exciting! I’m so impressed with OKC also this year 👍🏼
I stopped voting because they changed the process a few years ago.
Honestly, I see this clown and I switch videos. Him defending Bronny and that whole thing made him lose credibility.
ESPN mad cause the cavs beat the brakes off the fakers in curry
Norm powell is excellent that trade from portland was such an fn steal and noone covered how much of a steal that trade was
Who cares he is garunteed millions of dollars who is crying when he was fired on the way to the plane or anything else doesnt matter. The demar derozan trade was dumb so there is that but also mike brown aint some great coach..
You can take constructive critism but daily daily that is fn dumb.. he has no time to change in one day lol.. you give the critism and then wait for the change..
The media ppl crying that mike brown was fired with one foot on the plane when he is getting 25mil to do nothing are unreal.. In the words of Peter Griffin who the fk cares..
Bomtemps is sooo annoying !!!!!
Bontemps looks like an unemployed guy in his mom’s basement that these guys let on the show because he won a contest.
ya think
The Cavs hate is crazy smh
Tell bontemps to stop saying curb stomp already, it's disgusting
The Thunder lost to the Bucks. WE GET IT! Ffs, shut up about it. Just say they have a 9 game won streak then.
ESPN won't air any highlights of 30-4 team that just roasted the West. Yet we'll get highlights of the Lakers.
