Windy's patience and acceptance of Bontemps strengths and weaknesses is endearing and admirable. The dynamics of these 3 is fascinating.

This is the best NBA show out there by a wide margin. Thanks Guys!!!

Everyone said the pacers the nuggets and Mavs were done after game one but now it’s all changed

Gordon was amazing!!! He doesn't get enough credit for how important he is to the champs.

🐐ic' + Murray + AG + MPJR + KCP = 💪

Love this podcast. A sentence I never expected to say. Keep up the great work!

Watching this is is hilarious cause bontemps is clearly a knicks fan lol so you know hes hurting real bad

I said before the series the Mavs were gonna be fine as long as McMahon continued to doubt the team and so far so good! He's spent more time writing about the demise of the Mavs everytime they made a trade yet somehow all those moves are the reason they are doing so well

You know it’s over when Thunder strategies are 1) to injure Luka; 2) to flop; and 3) hack-a-lively. This is #1 team in west, top 5 offense & defense, and they’ve lost the confidence to win by skill, so they opt to injure Luka.

As a Knicks fan I don’t have high expectations given their history but hope is in the air despite their injuries and limited roster Go Knicks

Mavs in 5!!

More Nate Duncan shoutouts. Last time Bontemps shouted him out I went and subscribed to Dunc'd On pod [the free episodes].

Hey Bontemps can you let us know how much a whole to of points is equal to these days? 4:00

The Nuggets made shots despite the Twolves defense. It didn't help that KAT and Gobert were pretty much nowhere on offense.

Shaq was great motivator... He said all he needsd to fire up the MVP

Bontemps talking about small town Pacers getting favorable whistles again, when the Knicks also got a ton of favorable whistles at home. 🙄

Let’s Go Pacers!!!

I think any NBA podcast is disgraceful for getting Xfinity as a sponsor since the best team in the NBA can't be watched by Xfinity customers. They need to sort that s*** out with Kroenke and allow Denver residents to actually watch our team during the season

I'm just over the blowouts already. We've had waaaaaaaay too many games decided early for playoff quality, in multiple matchups.

Coach Rick C with the Pacers shouldn’t have been fined at all, because anyone paying attention know the NBA, and it’s officials, and Media Pundits favor the large East and West Coast markets over medium or even fairly significant size center of America markets. The only thing surprising to me is he didn’t make the finger money rub sign like Murphy did when he threw a towel, hot water pack and who knows what else to get his slap on the wrist. It’s pretty clear the NBA is no different than the WWF as in its entertainment not an athletic competition. It’s their for the gambling industry to use to take as much money as possible to then give back to the NBA through direct and indirect channels.

Remember when people thought the Pacers would have no chance against the Knicks? Good times... They have the ability to turn any game into a track meet, and the Knicks are having a hell of a time keeping up. Only the Timberwolves and the Nuggets dealt with them effectively in the regular season. And the Bulls and Celtics to a certain extent.

Should Denver play 48 minutes of focused basketball in the next two more games, then I'm with Windy on the deleted text postulation.

You are wrong to say that the Pistons weren't thinking about picking at 5 when they just finished with the worst record in the league BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID LAST YEAR. I legit don't think Detroit will turn things around before Cade starts asking to be traded. They could have one rebuild lead right into another without ever leaving the lottery.

I know y’all sad, y’all knicks loss this whole panel been going for Knicks smh

As a Wolves fan, watching our bench get outplayed while also seeing AG go off again in game 4 was so disheartening. For the love of regression to the mean, can Ant get some help in game 5 from the rest of the team and the Denver "others" not go off like Kobe Bryant per Rudy? It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Luka is definitely the NBA's MWP: the Most Whining Player! MWP! MWP!

It has been called differently in Indiana. Yeah, the league want to extend a series in the New York Market. Oh, let me see the 76ers series went 7, and they brought Scott "the extender" Foster in for game 6. hmmmm......

This feels like a 2000 draft but worse...but going in we felt that draft would be awful after k mart...we were sorta right no stars...this one won't have a project that becomes a mvp like giannis who took 3 years to become great...rudy too...cj as well

Lots of people may have lost money by believing so-called sports analyst saying that the Pacers, Mavs and Nuggets are in big trouble. 😀 I was never worried about Mavs and Nuggets despite their first game losses. 😉

Besides wemby and maybe miller this last draft looks meh

Watch the hype of Bronny start because they need to have something to talk about and there is no value in just saying he is not that good or not ready . Also the Lakers will pimp it behind the scenes so they can get the fan base to buy into their wasting a draft pick on him

Durant should have went to lakers!! Lebron should begged him!! ,,,, Nuggets jokic!! Let's give Gordon. Porter, and Murray way more credit, they have a big four who shows up on way more consistent basis, then alot if the other so called super teams.

Giddy only had 13 minutes of play-time. Find the hot hand. Isaiah Joe should've gotten more minutes. JDub needed to be better. SGA's +/- was -9. He has to be better.

Knicks played themselves by running 6 and 7 man rotations. Thibs is negligent and shouldn't be afforded another chance as a head coach he never learns and shortens careers

Luka and Joke wow

If Rick Carlisle’s fine was cheap then the Jamal Murray fine was the greatest deal of all time, he should have been suspended.

With what we know now about the "vax" that never stopped transmission, Kyrie looks like a freaking genius. Kyrie was right. Everyone that got on him for being smart, needs to apologize.

So On the youtube version the "climax" joke gets cut out but the part when you TRASH your own sponsor stays on? That's championship level editing, can't lie

TB comes off as being such an arrogant guy.

I know Aaron Gordon isn't the caliber of player you normally consider for the Olympic team, but considering the more physical European style of play the current Olympic roster is woefully short on physical bigs. That's Steve Kerr. P.S., KAT making Tobias Harris look good.

Spurs can give up 8th pick and give Atlanta back their 2025 pick and keldon Johnson for Trae Young

Naw, you pivotal game for the NBA and refs. Don't bet on any Scott Foster games.

Dropping a line to say good-bye in a rant… this 76 year old has followed the nba all my life… but this return to hand checking and professional wrestling on a basketball court style. Has done it… America football and soccer have grown and grown in popularity and profitability over the years by following 2 simple rules: emphasize skilled athleticism over physicality and having the same play called the same way regardless of player / team / game time / season time. I thought the NBA was finally moving in that direction…. But they are like a sobering drunk who sees the potential for excellence and instead turns back to mediocrity…. I’ve cancelled my automatic league pass renewal and my live tv ( which I had just for the NBA) and all podcasts…. Take care and don’t buy anything on time -

OG played in the first game and Brunson was fine as well, and they still were lucky to get the win. The way these guys and others were predicting a Knicks walkover before the series was just them being completely sucked into the Knicks vs Philly series. Completely ignoring the fact that that was a brilliant series but not between 2 brilliant teams. I am not a Pacers fan and Ioved the Knicks Philly series as well, but the lack of rational analysis by all these guys was very annoying.

I'm very happy okc is down and hope they lose. I hate that team and their mountain of assets

What's Thibs plan from here? To play these dudes so far into the ground that they injure themselves so badly that it seeps into next season as well? It's over man. The Pacers are too deep and they've finally gotten the matchup that they want on Brunson. If Brunson doesn't give the Knicks 40+ it's a wrap. Who'd have thought that not empowering your bench and killing your own starting 5 would have consequences like more injuries and fatigue LATER in the playoffs. Of course you can ball out with your starters for the first round and a half... when you get to this point though, the wheels start to fall off. OG isn't an excuse either... that man hasn't been able to stay healthy since he signed with the Knicks and Mitchell has also been injury prone af this year. They've had plenty of time to figure this out without those 2 and instead of doing that Thibs just hoped and prayed they'd make it through the entire postseason injury free... now the basketball gods have come to collect. Any team could do what the Knicks have done and play their starters until they fall over... they won't though because they know even if it helps you win games early that method isn't sustainable whatsoever. Theres a good reason players anonymously voted Thibs is the number 1 coach they couldn't want to play for. This is nothing new from that dude. Sincerely, a New Yorker that wants and hopes for the best but also isn't delusional. We'll see what happens but things aren't looking good atm.

Bontemps. Sweeping statements. 🙄

pacers en route to being the worst team to ever make ECF - healthy bucks and knicks sweep them

LU DORK OVERRATED GUYS PLAYING FOOTBALL

When I saw that idiot referee Scott Foster, I knew the Nuggets would win.

Windy looks like a zombie

SGA is a bigger ball hog than LUKA this series! Why OKC is losing and going to lose! 95% of people thought OKC was winning this series... where are they now?

I really hope OKC coach listens to all you people and its fans crying about benching Giddy and starting Wallace or Wiggins. OKC would absolutely get destroyed by the Mavs size even more if they bench Giddy and not play him and Wallace or Wiggins would have to guard PJ and that’s a laughable mismatch because OKC already had to resort to hiding SGA because he’s gotten abused as a defender and he’s been the worst defender in this series from either team. Mavs will just hunt the mismatch with a Luka or Kyrie and PJ PnR or pop to isolate them or they just post up PJ on those guys. OKC coach is out of adjustments and he is panicking and being out coached if he changes his lineup he gives up the series. People will eventually realize Mavs don’t have to change how they play to win games but simply just abuse mismatches in all different ways and they did it against the Clippers and Ty Lue threw in the towel in game 5 and 6 by starting PJ Tucker to just try something different.

Bontemps stinks lmao

Bontemps can be annoying af
