Tim bontemps seems like a sixers apologist
One of the best hoop pods

nba247

One of the best nba pods out there, but please, reserve special guests and what not for the mid week episodes. The Monday and Friday pods should be the core group recapping the weekend and summing up the work week. M-F workers have trouble keeping up with the league bc of how games are scheduled
Bontemps needs to tone it way down

adam pod connoisseur

This could be a worthwhile listen, but Tim Bontemps is like an angrier, more rude, sports version of the comic book guy. Ruins the experience.
Great pod. Bad network

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
