It’s a decent show, potential to be good and sort of scratches the itch now that the Lowe Post is gone. I believe it’s Tim Bontemps but one of the frequent guests (the one who has the most echo in his microphone) constantly interrupts and comes in with an aggressive/combative tone which makes this show harder to listen

Been listening to this Pod for a while now. I love the trio. One of my fav basketball pods. Been a Windy fan since the way back. Windy is the GOAT in my eyes!

it’s very simple. The episodes with the tims are the best basketball pod around. The ones without them are usually really really insanely boring. Like once a month or so they should replace one of the Tim’s with Bobby marks. But that’s it! Non Tim episodes should not be a regular thing at all!!

I like it it’s decent and good stuff. But one of the guys is always angry and mean and it’s not fun to listen to

Listen to this podcast so you can hear talented reporters and journalists rehash the most boring arguments and storylines the NBA has to offer, just to keep ESPN happy according to their wretched misunderstanding of what nba fans care about. A real shame. You can hear how cranky Tim Bontemps, a good writer, sounds going over the least interesting parts of the nba.

I love this podcast. Windhorst, Bontemps and McMahon appear to have a great personal relationship which manifests itself in the actual podcast. They’re funny, plugged in and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that Bontemps refers to virtually every player by their first name. That’s annoying but it’s still a great podcast

These guys are good so I’m sure this podcast will end soon. Can’t even here the song for banned McMahon. Disney and espn is a joke. Ruined Star Wars. Got rid of all the talent besides these 3 guys, kipper, Wilson, and Tony. Those guys are 80. This podcast will be the only espn related content I’ll subscribe too besides some live games. No woj, Russell, bill, mcshay, tarnished and fired max. Zach Lowe is the man. Around the horn is trash. Watching woody Paige is all they got. Look at how these writers dress. You boys better practice talking ridiculously and becoming characters or you’ll be talking about hoops while your sweeping a broom. 24 billion dollars and Zach makes 1 mil. What a joke. Somebody start a serious sports network

One of the best podcasts- they are smart, fun, and talk good basketball!

I’m someone who appreciates the insights and information on this pod above all else and I’ve been critical of some of the harsh talking over. It’s been so much better over the past few months and I really appreciate it. This pod is a part of my life.

Hey guys, think for a second about the listener’s experience. Really loud booming thuds after a statement makes me want to rip my headphones out and delete the show. Try listening to it before you release the podcast. Also, the ad reads are crap. Your not a story teller, it’s ad copy, read it like a pro and move on.

Some reviewers are clearly too sensitive. I love listening to these guys even when I vehemently disagree.

I left a bad review before but continued listening. I’ve changed my mind. I like the Tim’s a lot and I like Windy (Vindy?). Thanks and sorry for the rude review.

To the producers: I’m just trying to have a chill morning listening to three dudes talk about basketball. Why are you setting off explosions into my earbuds? Are you stupid?

I love Windy, but he’s no podcast host. Is there a producer?

Three miserable human beings

For the love of God, please stop talking over each other constantly. I am a big fan of the show, but this is basic broadcasting stuff and sometimes it makes the show unlistenable.

NBA basketball junkie here who loves the game. Hoop collective is a must listen for me. Love, the banter, the speculation, and the humor of the three.

“Again”… Man so condescending. Shame he takes away from an otherwise solid program.

Very little structure or agenda to this podcast. Some decent basketball insights but Windhorst isn’t made for the host’s chair and there are no fun or creative segments. Fine to have on in the background but not something I get excited to listen to.

Hilarious to see how Bontemps’ gets all worked up every time the lakers get mentioned. They’re never going to say anything objective about the Lakers let alone be positive about them and so I stopped listening to them.

OMG espn, please give bontemps his walking papers. Usually when i listen to this pod, i just forward past the parts when he speaks. Which, unfortunately, may be 75% of the show. He is just plain awful. Not to mention his analyzing of players is completely incorrect and atrocious. I think i’m done with this altogether.

Keep McMahon but lose Bontemps. He requires too high of a horse.

He is running a heliocentric offense with atrocious efficiency. “Ya know,” is every third word out of his blabbering gaping mouth hole. He talks over his guests and interrupts then goes on MINUTES long monologues, essentially rambling without throwing the topic to his guest. He doesn’t have conversations: he talks AT people. It’s rude and bad hosting, and if he didn’t use his guests last name 5 times an episode to direct a “question” at them, we wouldn’t dare call him a host. His ego is INSATIABLE & INSUFFERABLE.

0 when that goofball is on. Buddy just loves to hear himself talk. F uckn annoying

I like this podcast but sometimes there’s too much of Windhorst ego and he talks over people and interrupts them, which is not a great listen. Lots of good guests and info and I like the interplay with him, Bontemps, & McMahon

Get good perspective on NBA but it is so tiring listening to Bontemps picking fights needlessly with cohosts. Wish he’d learn to be a bit gracious.

It's a really good podcast if you can get passed them over talking each other most of the episode.

I love windy and McMahon but Bontemps just bring the show down. He always sounds angry he wants to take over the show not let anyone talk. Get him off this show!!!!!!

These guys are probably the best minds in basketball, 2 of them travel with teams, they are always there & bring us unbiased, subjective content & Windy is such a great mind doing the national work, love you guys!!!

Both Tim’s are insufferable

These dude are so noodle armed chinless and untoned. Nothing worse than complete non-competitors doing their little sideline jibber jabber as real men compete. They say things like "in the games that matter ..." All games matter. This is how dudes like this categorize their life. Some days matter some experiences dont. It all matters, never give up or you end up being a sideline beta The idea that Brian Windhorst has the gall to critique anything but the service he got in a fast food drive thru is mindblowing to me.

Tim Bontempts needs to stop begging for interviews with the Celtics players and FO. It is very transparent does the show a disservice

Windhorst is a clown. Either doesn’t know anything about basketball or doesn’t care. Either way it’s disqualifying as as an analyst.

I love Tim Bontemps! He doesn’t speak to much, the show works because Bontemps is the foil to Brian and Banned Macmahon. That’s literally the show. I am surprised at so much Bontemps hate. He provides the realistic perspective while Brian gives the optimistic respective while Macmahon is the comic relief as well as the every man take on what’s going on. Love the show. Best basketball pod out there

Love this pod! But CANNOT stand to listen to Tim Bontemps! So boring and one sided! Very biased

Holy moly. Can y’all let Windy speak! His name is on the podcast!

Can you stop calling him Karl Towns. His name has a dash. Karl-Anthony Towns

Tetchy though.

Windy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bontemps…quit interrupting Show⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, except as noted above

Will resume listening when Bontemps is replaced 🙏🏼

I love hearing Windy talk. I like hearing Bam talk. But Bontempts will not shut up long enough for me to hear them talk. Get him out of here, he’s a poor podcaster. Let the good guys speak

I love listening to Windy and McMahon but Bontemps ruins this whole podcast. With his constant whining, negativity, and interrupting of the others he makes this unlistenable. I’m done. I’ll check back in when Bontemps is replaced.

All Tim Mac talks about is Joker. Joker.... and hate on Lakers! Now what?!

Um 4.0 is a B-

Go windy go

5 stars for the Bontemps “oh god” to end the latest episode.

I was going to leave this a 5 star but Chris Bontemps interrupted me. This guy could never have his own show because no one would want to go on a podcast just to be interrupted constantly.

Why do people listen to this guy? Averaging a 4.0/5 says it all. That’s basically like having a C- grade. He’s an obese, typical ESPN figurehead who won’t do any analysis isn’t obvious. Has this guy ever touched a basketball in his life?

I love the NBA and grew to love Windy from his appearances on ESPN and other shows, so I started listening to his show. I still like Windy, but Tim Bontemps is so negative, which makes the show hard to enjoy. His bickering with Windy has become like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I had to stop listening.

Been listening for awhile and Windy these dudes don’t sound like they like basketball. All these digs and slights on players. Go cover something else cause it’s clear you are hate watching these games.
