Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 8.7k ratings
  • A top BB podcast…

    These guys are immersed in the NBA, so critiquing them negatively for failing to predict outcomes, understanding strategic nuances, misstating info, etc…is just ongoing evidence of the complexities of the Information Age; moreover, their chemistry is wonderful considering they are all highly competitive people who are passionate about their craft…

  • Hard to listen to

    Love the show but over the past year Tim Bontemps constant harassment and bullying of Windy has felt more and more mean spirited. As an ER doctor who talks to unwell people every day, his bullying and self righteousness have made me actually turn off the pod because it’s so painful to listen to. Never wrote a review of a podcast before so that’s how you know it’s bad. Go Wolves
