Since Zach Lowe got taken off the air, this has become my favorite basketball podcast, but there are two things to improve: there’s too much interrupting of each other, and tell the editor that commercials should come in between topics, not sentences.
Stick to TOPIC! Warriors???
Mar 17
You promised some content about the Warriors you started, and then got distracted/ interrupted, and never got back to the subject. Come on! that’s your job Wendy or at least Bontemp should’ve brought you back to the topic except that he was one of the distractions.
Kyrie

I must say I was not pleased with Kyrie’s behavior in Brooklyn, but you are correct when you observe how much he has grown in Dallas-very impressive. The way he honors Luka in a very delicate situation, excellent. I agree with the observations that the Mav’s leadership should try to keep him long term. That would be a smart move. Yes it may even attract other players who have tremendous respect for him.
Contentious

Really bad mix of personalities. There’s one guy, Bontemps?, who is confrontational and defensive. It’s bizarre; he brings everything down. I enjoy Windhorst so I thought I’d give the podcast a try but he desperately needs to replace one of the guys.
Do y’all even like basketball???

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. Bontemps, how many years did Nico said they had? You literally repeated 12 times in a 20 mins span. New material for the love of ducking god
Show losing fire
Mar 7
This show used to be a good listen but now it’s devolved into a hypercritical show where they constantly talk about only 3 realistic teams to win a title and everyone else stinks. These guys obviously hate their jobs and covering the league. They trash a lot of players and really only get excited when they talk about restaurants and their hotel accommodations.

Some of these comments are ridiculous lol. The vast majority of normal people have no complaints. The pod is amazing as is, please keep everything the exact same 🙏🏼

The last thing anyone wants to hear is more lies from Bontemps. Ultimate hater of the game and he sucked in high school.
Co-hosts are kind of toxic

I like listening to Windhorst. He has knowledgeable takes and great insider insights. I don’t make it through a lot of the podcasts due to the insufferable behavior of the co-hosts. They interrupt way too much and cut on Windhorst in a non-funny and mean spirited way.
Umm…

Windy’s legs must hurt from jumping on all of those bandwagons. Also, McMahon needs to stop shilling his book. He also needs to stop laughing at small market teams. Wait until Dallas is a small market team again. These guys are exhausting.
