As a clippers fan, not surprised at all with Paul George. Extremely overrated jump shooter that's afraid to attack the rim but hey…… He looks smooth 🤷♂️
To many teams go to the draft as a 🏆. The system doesn't work. To many teams have problems getting players moving …
Paul george stinks up the place anywhere he goes lol
The 6ixers gave joe max money so he can play part time & they really thought they would win a chip with this (process)
In the show title, you mentioned the Hawks being a tough out. When you finally got to that segment – the last 10 minutes or so of the podcast – you spent all of the time discussing Quin Snyder's Sally Jesse Raphael glasses and then some issues with the Celtics. No discussion of Trae Young's all-star-level play, Dyson Daniels changing the whole team dynamic as an elite defender, nor the emergence of Onyeka Okongwu since he returned from injury. If you say you're going to talk about the Hawks – WHY NOT TALK ABOUT THE HAWKS???? (something you very rarely do).
Paul George is the greatest asset the Thunder ever had. Traded for SGA, 5 1st Rd Picks, and his injuries keep giving back to the Thunder 😂🤡
Tim Whinetemps!!
I could see that for sure.
The Bucks have won 4 in a row and still get no love but anytime they lose people can't wait to say something
Joel will never be an elite player again
He is Greg Oden now
One of the most dull “howdy partners” I’ve heard.
That was one hell of a slumber party😂
GUS WILLIAMS AN NBA CHAMPION 🏆 DIED ON JANAURY 15, 2025 .JAMES DONALDSON AN EX TEAMMATE AND FRIEND STARTED A GOFUNDME TO HELP WITH THE FUNERAL EXPENSES ON BEHALF OF DAVID WILLIAMS, HIS BROTHER
blow it up sixers. build around McCain and Maxey. Fire Morey, star hunting and big 3s don't work anymore. get a GM that can build up a roster thats under 30 years old, and get a coach that will play and develop young players. Nurse will play Lowry and Gordon till they 40
Life long Sixers fan here, tank this season. Lose every game remaining on the schedule, shut Embiid down for the season within the next month. Let PG play once a week, and slip Maxey some extra bucks under the table for dealing with this. Go Birds
I just do not understand why Bontemps is so frustrated and crotchety all the time. Seems like a cool job he has.
The Hoop Collective sucks. Do better ESPN.
More boring topics cmon now!!! How about how good the clippers look with The Klaw back in the lineup. How about the Beard still a top tier point guard in the game, how about Storming Norman doing something extraordinary at his age!!!
Homie reporting from the bathroom lol
What about the medical before Embiid's extension? Why does no one every just say "unprofessional". I have disliked watching this season so much , even with the team having players I love watching I threw out the schedule. I would guess / hope that Embiid asked for a trade early on and the lack of movement has made him hold out.
The “Top sixers” is crazy 😂😂
😂😂 Sally Jesse Rapheals 😅😂🎉🎉
These max contracts should have clause that the player must make all star status to be legit. Otherwise they lose half. Its rediculous they soak up like 60% of the teams money and just sit on the bench
6ers needs to call it a season & tank & get a lottery pick & have plan if u have to trade pg & Embiid next season
Embid shouldn’t have played in the Olympics. Should’ve took the whole offseason to get rest.
Playing devils advocate for PG, the 76ers are not using him the way he’s been used with every other teams he’s been on
NBA is all about drama never about actual basketball games . Smh.
Whoever thought the 76ers were gonna be good this year is dumb as rocks. No way is this roster gonna work you got 2 stars who are always injured and a 3rd who's still finding his way in league. I feel bad for Maxy dudes got skills
I think Jimmy wants heat to get nothing as much as he wants to be to the suns lol
Why is nobody talking about Nick Nurse??? I've watched a TON of 76ers games & he has done a HORRIBLE job so far
NBA f*ckin sucks. Stars always injured or out, teams spend the season tanking cuz they can’t compete, the good teams have to shoot & MAKE a million threes or they also suck, media spends all day telling us how much teams suck.. so trash bruh
Gets boring having the same guests over and over again.
