Ny liberty 🗽 repeat
I love how this guy thinks hes a fortune teller "russ in the starting lineup wont win denver games in june" or "limiting the role of braun isnt helping them win games in june" well why dont u go and try to be a head coach since you know exactly how to win playoff games …
can we trade macmahoms for anyone that isn't tied to Espn lakers. you do know you're supposed to take up for Dallas to others.
Everyone from NYC will love
Like skip
Ok fine mr Benny
That guy doesn't understand that Russ is maximizing Jokic when he is playing with him, so he is making Jokic better as well, not just the other way around
Keep the Barkley center steet clean cop
Russ was playing out of position with LA, and Clippers. Lakers did not know how to utilize his special skill set. Lebron does not defend or quick on fast breaks.
The league shoots way too many threes. If you have a better percentage by 8-10 percentage points in the midrange, I will take that every time. No one plays defense anymore and they cannot guard Russ cutting to the basket and most of the time they cannot keep up with him.
We need bass reaves
These guys are absolutely garbage. They said they don’t watch the Kings yet want to nit pick everything.
Bontemps is just god awful here, nothing unusual for him though
New president will help
I love how there reasoning for russ. Not being in the starting lineup is because Christian braun is young.
Hahahaha Hahahaha fun
another Russ hater. Quote those stats again. This guy is not even hearing the quotes. "Less successful without Russ". This is why he would never be a winning coach
Jalen Brunson is the new James Harden I watched that bucks game talking about a guy who offensive flop it was comical.
Its so obvious yall dont watch the nuggets consistently, russ has been a flat out better player than braun, saying they should put russ back in the bench is idiotic, the more russ plays the better it has been for the nuggets this year
How did Austin Reaves not make this list?!
Some "NBA SCOUT EXPERT" said Denver should cut him and Westbrook should retire.
NEVER FOR A "EXPERT" SAID THAT
All of you on ESPN were also doing it to him too during his LAL and LAC years. Disgusting. Good on Westbrook for finally being embraced and beloved by an actual fanbase who cares and love their players like we do here at Nuggets nation.
JOKIC IS THE TRUE FLOOR RAISER. Every free agent who wants to revive their career, who want to bet on themselves so they can get a better contract the next season should join the Nuggets and Jokic because Jokic is gonna make you get a ton of money like he did with MPJ,Jamal,Barton,Bruce Brown,Jeff green and many others players career who were "done,Capped,limited" were regained and got themselves paid after playing a season with DEN
Garbage content
Christian braun 💀
Bontemps…. His parents never told him "grown folk are talking, wait your turn"
Botemps is such a hater. 😂😂😂😂 Like Christian braun is gonna be the deciding factor if you win a ring.
Oh no. Embiid was out in my Magic's game with the Sixers? Boo f***ing hoo. They had Maxey and PG13. We had eight guys suit up. Eight. And still won.
Russ has been AMAZING for the Nuggets 🫡🔥🔥
Light the beam !
Absolutely insane if sabonis is not an all star !!
that bomtempts guy might be special ed
The “L”izards, because they can’t get a “W”.
Bontemps needs to realize when to stop pushing a point. It can get over the top.
'progression to the mean' is not a thing
Bontemps sucks kangaroo 🍆 in his spare time.. he ain’t never liked Russ and it’s cool tho.. he a str8 muscle chaser
Bontempts was extra cranky today. 👶
Bontemps is annoying,the guy always wants to be right regardless of what anyone's opinion. That kind of attitude really sucks for a podcast 🤦🏽♂️
Cavs will win games but in the playoffs they will fold ….
Do any of these guys watch the games? Constantly making mistakes on injuries, on whos playing and whos not. How can you be considered a pundit if you dont watch the games? Ridiculous
Bontemps is a hater. Denver is not my team but i love watching Jokic and Russ playing together🔥🔥🔥🔥
The clown in the white shirt is trash.
