It’s lowkey not bad but they don’t know what there talking about and they make themselves look good but in real life they suck
Save your time
They have all given up on actual basketball analysis.
You can’t watch nba games tune in to this and think they watch the same thing.
It’s clear they don’t watch games unless espn sends them to the arena.
they get notes from 20 yr old interns who watch and don’t actually understand high level basketball
Bontemp’s fiery, reasoned commentary contrasts well with Wendy’s engaging, occasionally self promoting, ‘shoot from the hip’ style. McMann has replaced 50 percent of his curmudgeonly-ness with better natured, self deprecating humor, making him a a perfect Wendy and Bontemps arbiter.
“I don’t want to talk about tanking”
Talks about tanking for 20 minutes.
“We talk about the NBA”
Talks about his vacations for 20 minutes.
“As a quick aside…”
Sidetracks the pod for 20 minutes.
This is a joke now. How are the most connected NBA media figures and journalists so undisciplined? Let Bontemps host the show for the love of god, or McMahon - at least at that point there’s no pretext for learning anything new
I never miss a show, it’s my go to basketball podcast. I’m not sure how to rate it though…. It’s a 5 with Tim’s and 2 star without.
