I like how Bontemps took a dig at Draymond's KAT take. I'll tolerate his PTSD over Westbrook just because he called out his own colleague Ohm for writing a puff piece on Draymond and both being Michigan State Alum. Bontempts takes no prisoners.
Lol always get a laugh and learn a thing or two from The Three Amigos!
Bontemps should make a shirt that says "what are we doing here" 😂
Windy is 100% ONPOINT. “That’s a humble brag”
Bontemps be glazing himself right from the get go.
S/O to the producer for adding relevant info that occured and passed before this dropped lol
Bontempts, you're arrogance is a hallmark of a short man – think Napoleon complex.
glad to see theres at least one advocate for questioning the sanity of betting on games nice one wendy.
1:27 McMahon nailed it
Lol the sixers are turning things around??
Go sixers
Jamal is not back, he only had two games of 30+ points against Dallas and NY and he is responsible for a lot of turnovers, he no longer assists Jokic even when he is completely alone, he dribbles for 12-15 seconds and in the end he either loses the ball or throw it towards a player who dies for it and ends up losing it. Jamal has turned into a very selfish player, he actually reminds me of a teenager who is angry and then shows that frustration in selfishness. He's also jealous of Russ and I think he'd rather see him off the team completely. And finally, most importantly, Denver has the worst bench in the entire NBA league, MPJ is a player who is not capable of playing against 60% of teams, and the coaches noticed that very sensitive point in Denver's defense between MPJ and Jokic, and they constantly attack between the two of them, because MPJ is very bad defensively.
Lizards… LIZZZards
Time stamps?
So… Botempts is saying that Russell playing well IS A PROBLEM.
If he was playing worse… Russ would be "washed".
Amazing
So much Bontempts hate for no reason💀
maxey playing more efficient, guys hitting their 3s, nurse actually playing the young players, Eric Gordan resurgence. the sixers are back baby!
This show barely does numbers lol 😂
Betting on basketball is easy when you take rozier under
Bontemps sounds like he hasn't watched a single Nuggets game he's just going off whatever preconceived notion he has in his head. He still thinks Jamal is playing like the 2023 play-offs, and just completely overlooks that Westbrook actually elevates Jokic.
I wish that these guys had their own channel…. I don't wanna see the rest of the ESPN stuff… I think it's criminal that they have like 50 different shows all combine to this one channel on YouTube
Denver…. Biggest clown organization in the entire NBA world… And they are the one who have best player in the entire world! Like ?!???? Disgusting behavior and really pathetic… Sorry Jokić 😞🤦😔
Tim Whinetemps!!! 😂
Can't lie I just kinda assumed bontemps is like 5'7
This is so bad
Werent these guys all saying stick with westbrick 😂😂😂 this is so dumb one good patch lol
Bontembs guy hates Westbrook so much that he cant see nuggets need his D against fast players/teams. Last year clippers messed up his rhytm and made him only of ball player. First year he was good with clippers. What a horrible analytic guy…
Braun in the playoffs must be a beast
Keep underestimating Joker and us here in Denver. This is where we like to be heading into our 2nd ring!
Two sentences (of several more) i stopped listening to years ago:
"If Kawhi is coming back, .."
"When Zion is healthy,.."
Honorable mention:"LaMelo is playing..", "Luka`s MVP case..", "Joel looks great.."
I don`t like Russ as player at all, since his 5% flaws overshadow the 95% greatness he brings to the game in the moments when it matters the most. But what i defineteley admire about him is, that he almost always is on the court playing.
I thought Tim Bontemps was short…
YouTubers are starting to say the Clippers can contend. Kawhi Leonard is on this team. His right knee will prevent them from going far in the playoffs.
The Westbrook slander has to stop!
Zubac has been in the NBA for how long now and people literally who cover the league for a living still can’t pronounce his name correctly? It’s Zu-Bahtz, not Zu-Botch… 🤦🏻♂️
Wemby fouled Zu from the start of that game. It was at least 4 fouls not called on Wemby go back and you’ll see it yourself. So how is he complaining… smdh
K Leonard has lost a ;lot of weight and bulk!!! He’s springy again and can move laterally again! Give him another few weeks!! OMG
Chest out, chin up, it's your posture Bontemps that make you look short
I miss the lowe post
Tell Klutz sports to pay this clown better so he can improve the quality of his boring show
Kawhi has been so unlucky man
1:27 it’s because your frame is very thin and shoulders narrow with a weak chin (objectively) — you just have small man features in the upper body and face lol
Where is the Windy sleep update when it is needed the most???
Shai never dropping 70 lol
Ball is a ball hog volume scorer made of glass. He's worth nothing to anyone.
