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

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. If you’re an NBA fan, this is a must listen

Bontemps…just admit you love being negative. Tell the truth. You are the living embodiment of “Well actually…” Yawn. You are physically unable to say something nice about one person without taking potshots at another. The absolute antithesis of good time. Also, the movie in question is “Say Anything” not “High Fidelity.” Now I have heard it all. Bontemps complaining that other people won’t let him talk. That is a totlal lack of self awareness. Yuck. Zach Lowe. Get ready for “No one is talking about…” Yuck.

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.

Under 40 and I got it Windy. Go Spurs Go

Always love the show , listening since ‘18

Since when is DPOY a team award? Wemby causes more lane U turns than LA rush hour. Those are blocked shots. Ask Draymond.

Get windy off the show. Can’t stay objective, always fan-boying over Wemby. Has a huge head, thinks he’s an all time basketball analyst or something. He’s been carried by lebron and the two Tims his whole career. Hope he keeps struggling to sleep.

If you took McMahon off, I’d listen to every episode. He is so annoying.
