Bringing up Ant dropping 38 on Tatum and ignoring the 2nd meeting where Tatum dropping 45 is nasty nasty work.

Casuals ain’t gonna talk about tatum’s defense which was super impressive he’s versatility and gaurding 1-5 last night and important defensive plays

Win by 20: “Competition is terrible” Win by

Regular season stats, Tatum beat Anthony Edwards in pts per game, FG percentage, and 3pt percentage. lol.

It feel like the media(Espn) hate the Celtics and Tatum 😭. When they blow teams out they’re not tested, when they have a clutch game and pull out the W the media isn’t moved. Tatum was a +20, locked down on D, scored 10 in OT and sealed the game.

Tatum was cold in the 4th on offense, but he had clutch moments defensively and redeemed himself in OT… But MAN the JT hate is insane in general

Celtics and Minnesota played two regular season games, you remembered what Ant did in one for his 39 points, did you not see what Tatum did in the other for 45?

Zero acknowledgement of Tatum's dominant first three quarters and 10 points in OT including the dagger three. Not to mention 12 boards and savage defense the entire game, including smothering Hali on the final shot of regulation. Dude had 36, 12 with 4 assists and three steals, with a plus/minus of +20. Celtics were -15 in the few minutes he was off the court. But let's only focus on the two shots he missed. These tabloid level takes tell me that these guys don't really know ball.

36pts, 12rebs, 4ast..a WIN!And he disappeared? 😂 This is pure hate😢😂😂😂

I don't remember it exactly but I heard a stat during the game that in the Cavs seties, Tatum lead the Celtics in ppg, rpg, apg, and spg (or something like that) and the only other player in NBA HISTORY to do this was LeBron. He gets SO much hate, it''s ridiculous. I absolutely get it that he's way too inconsistent, doesn't always pass the eye test, and seems to disappear at times but the amount of hate is so unbelievably disproportionate it's unexcusable.

Tatum is the most underrated and under appreciated Star in the league.

Jackson must've been working extra hard to get this out at 7am 😂

I would respect the media if they just came out & said they don't like Celtics and actively root for them to lose. Ant Edwards isn't better than Tatum, he might be in the near future but come on.

Tatum was a plus 20. Idk why it's hard for people to comprehend he does things outside of scoring that impacts the game. He's not a one dimensional player stop treating him as such.

"Soccer is boring" its only boring if you focus on scoring, soccer is a pure sport. I got Windhorst comparison, Pacers play a free style, a lot of quick passes, it does feel like an elite soccer european team.

40:00 "Grab your pocketprotector and let me cook" is an all-time McMahon line.

Windy I love the soccer reference, as a Latin american it is relatable, don't let these americans tell you it is boring, it is the most watched sport in the world for a reason! Tell MacMahon and Bontemps they should watch the Champions League finals Sat Jun 1st!

35:50 MacMahon says he watched a game where Tatum was matched up with Ant, who scored 38pts and took Tatum's cookies that day. Tim must have missed that 2nd Celtics-Wolves game where Tatum dropped 45pts including 14pts in the 4th and another 12pts in Overtime. I'm not saying that one player is better than the other right now just that Tim MacMahon is bashing Jayson Tatum for one performance while forgetting that JT totally redeemed himself the next time those two teams met.

The hate on Tatum is strong in this one....

Jayson Tatum almost gave me a heart attack last night

The Celtics could win four games and then the next four and the exact same fashion and you know what all of this conversation that the media has had will amount to..... nothing. This ain't Forza Motorsport. No style points here. I don't care how they get it done as long as they do. I don't care who they get it done against. They won. The NBA isn't going to give the pacers a win because everyone else feels like they played better. The last two series were 4-1 and they have far and away the best record. It's crazy because if they lose a close game, they argue that it shouldn't be that close. If they get blown out then it's like a disaster. If they win in a blowout, it's not a big deal because it means the other team is weaker. And if they win a tight game.... It's still bad because it was so tight. That's insanity. Like it's insane that people are actually walking around functioning like that.

I cant believe my ears. Tim Bontemps is actually the one on this pod defending Tatum and the Celtics

I can’t remember but were they out of timeouts? Did they take the last one?

So fun listening to these guys 🤘🤘🤘

Bontemps said it perfectly: "these Ant stuff are insane"

Ant truth be told isn't better than Brown yet.

One way or another, it's always good to pull it out at the end.

Jalen Brown showed he’s worth his contract

Special Guest Appearance from Krusty the Clown at 13:35 😂

That’s an all time nba playoff shot by Brown that’s completely getting brushed over.

Ant who shrunk in the biggest game of his career? What did he do in game 7?

Bro 71 and 81 mil for one season is crazy to think about bro like seriously 😳

All those mistakes in the 4th didn't win the game for the Celtics nor lost the game for Pacers they were tied and the Celtics won it in overtime with defense and timely shots by Tatum...no need for the ifs the buts the nonsense the media always talks about after, Pacers still had a fresh 5 mins to get it done and didn't. GAME!

How many attempts does it take one of these three to make a free throw?

Commenting at roughly 2 minutes in.. This situation the Pacers are in reminds me A LOT of GSW vs. SAS back in the 12-13 playoffs. GSW should've won that game, easily, in regulation, and then lost in heartbreaking fashion in OT.. Everyone thought they'd get beat by like 20+ in gm2 but they actually won that game, lol (Klay went 8/9 from 3 for 34pts and 14rebs).. SAS won in 6, but it could've been MUCH different had GSW held on in game 1.. Maybe they make it to the WCF or further.. Maybe Jackson's at a point where he's too successful to get fired, so they keep it in-house.. Kerr never goes to GS.. Takes the Knicks job instead (was on the table for him, but Steph was too good to pass up, lol).. KD probably never ends up in GS either (the offense would NEVER get to the efficiency level of Kerr under Jackson. Jackson was too old school. Slow-paced, grind em down, 90's basketball. They were LAST in the league in assists per game and went to #1 in Kerr's first year, lol.. So, they'd never win 73 games and be a #1 seed in the West.. Just another team with a ball dominant player battling for 3-6 seedings, lol).. Big time Butterfly Effect 'what if', imo..

Listening to the end of regulation, one has to question the Pacers basketball IQ. Mentally prepare yourselves for the situation at every break in play. How does that game go to OT? Golden opportunity to put the Cs in a tough spot. It's on the players. Celtics took advantage.

I love McMahon and his opinions on soccer 😂

Right about Sabonis. As a Kings fan, it's pretty funny to have Sabonis on any defensive team. What's up with that?

What is the "sundail three" reference?

McMahon deserves massive respect for making a lot happen with very little 😂😂😂

The goat basketball pod

PJ nickname now is Mr. Ain’t Goin 🤣 he stand on business fr

It seems to me that Botempts has been making an effort to be more charming. I love it, particularly because it seems to be so forced and really feel apart last podcast when he starting shouting at/bullying Brian during the Luka/Ant discussion. Don;t get me wrong , I thoroughly enjoy the guy and often get a kick out of his abrasiveness. But I also enjoy what I see as these recent attempts to smile and laugh a bit.

Nembhard 3 was the best shot of the playoff. Clear Cojones winner

i dont understand 36 points he didnt play well???????????????? what game did yall watch??? dont forget he also had 3 steals that means he was playing defense mannnnnnnnnnnn stop the hate already

Really enjoyed this episode.

What is up with the double standards about Tatum? You guys are such haters…smh

Insane how we’re already declaring Ant is better than Tatum 😂

BonTimps could be Woody Harrison stunt man 😂 lets go ☘

McMahon’s comment on soccer automatically makes him an idiot

boost on shot 30 free throwcould have been more lot fouls wernt called on tatum mostly

Just careless turnovers by the Pacers pretty much the whole game. Granted, it was a great shot by Jaylen Brown. The Pacers still should have fouled. At worse, you foul them taking a 3-pointer and Brown could still miss one instead of giving up a 3-pointer in rhythm. The Pacers blew this game.

Watching Windy try his hardest to pleeeaaaad his case that the Celtics suck is almost un-watchable. I mean after watching these guys day in and out for a year or so now, it's nothing new. But holy smokes, they have no problem giving random bums in the league that have a good night their flowers. Tatum went 36/4/12 while having multiple stars around him that also need the ball. And its like rah rah rah Tatum and Brown suck smh

“They lost the game because of two preposterous turn overs” Windy.. call it what it is, they were subject to the pressure of our DEFENSE and turned the ball over. There’s a difference my guy :)

Calling soccer boring when baseball still exists is ironic. Watch the Champions League, for example. Moreover, no one cares about the NFL outside the U.S. but soccer on the other hand is a worldwide sport. At least we have the NBA to love and agreed 😂

Tillman was a disaster in the cavs loss. Basically hasnt seen the floor since.

This 15-15 home record in 3 years narrative is so tiresome. In that time span they have gone to the finals and 2 conference finals. If it was anyone but the celtics they'd talk about how deadly the team is on the road, 4-0 this playoffs btw

Holiday om the SECOND team is laughable. Goes to show you what kind of a joke the awards are.

Focus on the beauty of the game Tim 😂😂

Guys, Tatum was a +20, and Tatum iced the game in OT. Why are you acting like the Celtics are terribly?

Go Pacers bounce back and shock the world

Jayson was terrible- bontempts. Sigh this is becoming their schtick. If embiid did that he was be all googly eyed and saying what a warrior

LET MACMAHON COOK!!!

W pod today

Man it’s crazy how much Tatum is criticized. Yes he had a rough 4th quarter but he carried them in overtime. That’s why it’s a team sport is because it’s unrealistic to be amazing for an entire 48 minutes

I felt like I was watching an NCAA tournament game instead of an NBA playoff game.

Thanks to McMahon for pointing out theyre killing Tatum despite he actually did pretty good

Saying a player who scored 16 points in game seven is better than someone who scored 51 points in game seven is revisionist history at its finest. Ant Edwards is not better than Jason Tatum and you clearly don’t watch basketball if you think the regular season game meant more than the playoffs. Anthony Edwards has only won two playoff series, but he’s been in the playoffs more than just one year.

Jason Tatum was clutch

Y’all are such haters lmaooo

36/12/4 and is getting cooked. Ant scores 18 points on 6/24 in a game 7 and gets called the next MJ

Pacers should be scared. Boston should have lost and played well overall but did not shoot the 3 very well (30ish percent). Boston could easily crush Pacers if Pacers stop hitting their shots and Celtics stop the fast breaks.

They actually lost if haliburton hit that 3 so game 2 gonna be epic

Celtics fans so salty that they been the best team in league yet nobody picking them to win it all 😂😂

MacMahon, youre Tatum take is horrible. Shame. Shame.

I love the pod but man the interruptions and speaking over each other is close to unbearable

Windhorst looking like mark kabolys cousin

Bontemps has severe ADHD bruh why haven't yall addressed this? 👨🏿‍⚕️🤣🤣

Celtics are loosing respect with every passing moment. Not so fast. Jrue Holiday is a difference maker, better in crunch time than Liliard. Cs will be well rested heading to the finals while the Mavs and Wolves are still wearing each other down. Bucks ain't lov'in that move.

The Celtics win …but……… narrative is getting so exhausting

Typical Celtics hate lol

windy hates boston they trashed best team in nba

Pacers don’t have the playoff experience to handle pressure situations. That’s all. They will lose this series because of that.

team canada revenge season

I took a deep breath and Antman 🐜 still better than Tatum 🫘

Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves some of the most lopsided reporting I’ve ever seen everyone in the national media needs to take a step back and reevaluate where their opinions are coming from. despicable

The Jayson Tatum agenda is so blatant! 36 pts 12 reb 4 ast 3 stl and a +20… Tatum is just so horrible and stinking up the place 🤣

This team goes as far as JAYLEN BROWN takes them

these guys are clowns. windy kinda chill

I like luka but bontemps makes me want to root for edwards so much

The Hoop Collective’s coverage of Celtics is absolutely pathetic. In no way are they spoken about on an even playing field as other teams. Large aspects of their games are ignored to prop up their talking points. They’ll then speak about a different team and give them credit for something they’ve just punished the Celtics for.

it's football not soccer

These guys don’t know ball

Cojones factor! 🔥🔥🔥

Bontemps is a generational loser. His Anti-Celtics agenda has been prevalent since 2022. Stop letting this guy cover Celtics basketball

Crazy how bontemps has no Time to talk about the 30-10 free throw differential but if it were the Lakers or another team that doesn't shoot threes the whole game like the Celtics do that's all bontemps would be talking about

Such a joke of a podcast

Siakam attacks the paintv& rim more than Tatum & Brown. You all need to watch the game with objective. He got not a single ft last night.

Unsubscribed. Bias garbage.

Read between the lines: Of course Bontemps isn’t high on Ant Edwards. He doesn’t quite fit the mold they like 😂😂
