12:56 Subtle Windy sleep update 😅 ESPN doesnt realize but hoop fans care more about this (and the weekly Bobby Marks “I recorded this video but my computer crashed” update) than we do about the Lakers coach hire.
"Getting Kyrie involved"...? He is involved. He has shot 18/19 shots a game. This isn't the OkC series where he only had 6 shots in a game. Actually, it might help Dallas if he did only have 6 shots a game if he is going to hold the ball, waste clock and shoot 35%.
The Lakers offered what they could afford and hoped that all the ancillary benefits (living in LA like a celeb, raising profile, massive bankable notoriety) would make up for the lower direct $$$. Why drag them? Hurley has an amazing job, is on the verge of making history, and all of that will have future value. That’s hard to beat anyway.
The reason there is so much talk about Tatum is that, since 1980, only one team has won the championship without a Top-50 all time player: * Lakers [Magic, Kareem] * Celtics [Bird, McHale] * Sixers [Dr J, Moses] * Pistons [Isiah] * Bulls [Michael, Scottie] * Rockets [Dream] * Spurs [Tim, Admiral] * Lakers [Shaq, Kobe] * Pistons [ --- ] * Heat [Wade, Shaq] * Celtics [KG] * Mavericks [Dirk] * Heat [LeBron, Wade] * Warriors [Steph; KD] * Raptors [Kawhi ?] * Lakers [LeBron] * Bucks [Giannis] * Nuggets [Joker] * Celtics [ --- ] or Mavericks [Luka] People expect that Tatum needs to be a Top-50 player for the Celtics to win. But instead, if they win they're going to be the other most balanced champion like the 2004 Pistons.
Luka better get a 40-point triple double tonight to shift the series. Kyrie needs a 25-piece double-double with assists. If not, Celtics are going to definitely win this series. 😂
bontemps, as a boston homer, left some meat scraps on the table here... paul pierce didnt merely win a title, he did it by outplaying kobe, and stealing the ball from him on several occasions in the pivotal game 4 in LA. thats why he never has to say he's sorry. he wasnt just there for the ride
Brown and Tatum need to go hard to the basket and do so through Mavs bigs to get them into foul trouble and through Luka, bumping his chest to wear him out. Real men ball, bring the 70s - 90s toughness back!
In person collective is awesome. Need more of this gentlemen!!! 👏👏
Definitely helps the flow of conversation
Mavs needs to win if we want more :)
Calling MacMahon a gentleman is just uncalled for.
It's hard not to interrupt each other on a zoom call. This makes it a lot more enjoyable
Awesome how quick the TH-cam Version is online. really enjoying it!
This format is awesome

Great podcast! I'd rather hear these gents than a lot of other analysts 💪
Goated Trio. Need their own show
We are on fire!! Third straight in person pod! Love it! 🔥🔥
Another great episode. Had all the bells and whistles. Huerter joke cracked me up
Great show guys!
Awesome show, always great but even better when you are together
35:14 i really enjoy the subtle jokes you guys make. so effortless lmaoo
Cheers from Brazil. Football players here are under way more pressure than Tatum.
MacMahon: was the Brazilian reporter a pawn?
Windy: Ask kyrie
😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀
You can literally feel the difference in when bontemps talk lakers vs Boston 😂😂
Because one team is irrelevant and ones in the finals
Now team has a HC and one don’t to be precise.
When someone says "I will die out there'''......means, he will play!
In person hoop collective 🔥
Galaxy brain Bontemps
18:08 barz 🔥
"Luka gave dem a 30 piece all flats lemon pepper" 😂

Ergin Ataman is the only name the Lakers should consider for head coach
Now he's playing Huerter and I don't mean Kevin 😎
Anyone know who Brian was talking about at 17:30 - player who took injections for ribs ?
not sure but i think Looney got injured in the Ribs in the Finals
21:44 what the hell was that

Kyrie's ISOs have been inefficient this series timpf posted something about it yesterday
Kyrie was also down 0-2 to the Celtics in '22 and got broomsticked.
Bontemps is King 🤴
Luka better get a 40-point triple double tonight to shift the series. Kyrie needs a 25-piece double-double with assists. If not, Celtics are going to definitely win this series. 😂
JJ probably has enough jobs but he could be the first american Bond! Double OO JJ!
"maybe LeBron should retire and be the head coach" 😂
Can you please stop talking about the irrelevant Lakers and their attempts to acquire the services of Lebron's new scapegoat.
Lakers roster > cavs roster 🤣🤣🤣🤣 these dudes are insane . LA would sweep cle
Bontemps is Jrue Holiday of ESPN. The most underrated analyst and a great reporter
More like the Kendrick Perkins of ESPN
Play Porzingis and use him as a decoy lol
Mavs winning game 3
bontemps, as a boston homer, left some meat scraps on the table here... paul pierce didnt merely win a title, he did it by outplaying kobe, and stealing the ball from him on several occasions in the pivotal game 4 in LA. thats why he never has to say he's sorry. he wasnt just there for the ride
No CC stories.... 😊
Lakers have 16+1, not 17 +1 championships
If u couldn’t tell when tinges got hurt u didn’t watch the game lmao
Why do u have bomtempts? He has no value.
Brown and Tatum need to go hard to the basket and do so through Mavs bigs to get them into foul trouble and through Luka, bumping his chest to wear him out. Real men ball, bring the 70s - 90s toughness back!
Can you please ask Bontemps to talk less…he’s just obviously talking out of his budget!
PorzinGlass gonna have to retire early like Yao ming!
Diabolic 😭
Yao retired as HOF. Pingus will be forgotten
@@DamjanVeljko yeah, KP never carried a team like Yao did, and KP was always injured his whole career.
These guys love trying to put bows on players careers in there early-mid 20’s. Extremely irresponsible analysis for casual NBA fans
No offense McMahon, but why is the least intelligent member of the pod pronouncing the medical terms? 2:00
🥲🥲😇
Medical jargon, English please
