Tim Bontemps representing Twitch with his hat lmao
Booooring, no dunks?
We ALL know why OKC traded Diddy. I mean, Giddey…
I sure hope we get a Lakers segment today. It’s been awhile since I’ve heard news about the Lakers
what is on bontemps head?
What's wrong in Cleveland? Are yall serious They are getting ready for the post season and stand at the #2 spot in the league right now. If they are number 2 then what's wrong with the whole league? Stupid mfs. Yall couldnt wait to hate on Cle but your hate dont even make sense when they are number 2.
nobody fears okc
Nothing is wrong in Cleveland. They clinched the division and are cruising. Coach seems to be playing more guys or tinkering with minutes. They've already shown that they can play with the West and the best of the East. They also go through spells of disinterest because they know offensively they can get going. I wouldn't hang a banner, but they're fine. I understand that the days of a beat writer are over and now guys have to cover multiple teams if not the entire league, but even taking a sample size of any team's season will show tendencies. Work a little harder at the craft.

1. Josh Giddey image is FOREVER tarnished similar to Karl Malone nobody cares about his "Great stats" sorry yall🤣🤷🏿♂️ 2. The Celtics haven't lossed more than TWO straight games ALL season… Cavs are clear frauds lol☘️☘️🏆🏆
My favourite podcast in the NBA 🙌🏼. Love the chemistry, even better the arguments 👏🏼
Josh Giddey’s putting up near triple-doubles post-deadline — did OKC give up on him too soon, or is he just stat-padding on a team with no pressure?
You guys were the ones saying how they didnt get the picks back lol what a clown show
Windy woke up about 3minutes before they started the pod 😅
I think you guys are wrong about no one wanting to be on okc side of the bracket. I think LA Den and GS don’t wanna play each other in the first round. That’s why your seeing a lot of unusual losses, a lot of sitting out with injuries and stuff like that. They’re all jockeying for position and OKC for sure doesn’t factor into that
happy pub day Tim!
This is like listening to a hunch of lawyers argue about parking law loopholes. All smartypants.
I did not have Bontemps rocking a Twitch hat on my Hoop Collective bingo card. 👾
God I hate Tim bontemps audio. It’s been years and he always blows my speakers
Thought Bontempts was wearing a skull cap for a second
Giddy is desent player he is not your top scorer but he does a little bit of everything. If he is 3rd best guy you will be OK. Chicago needs a 1# guy The gm needs to do some work in draft.
