Bontemps spent the entire offseason saying the Westbrook trade would be terrible for the nuggets and he continues to try to double down on it even though it’s been working
All of the clippers games with their starters have been either extremely close games or just straight wins, gave the nets their worst loss in history, and took the Celtics to overtime without any of their starters minus DJJ. The Clippers have been absolutely destructive towards other teams offenses as well as producing their own at a good pace. They’re looking hot.
I like how Bontemps took a dig at Draymond's KAT take. I'll tolerate his PTSD over Westbrook just because he called out his own colleague Ohm for writing a puff piece on Draymond and both being Michigan State Alum. Bontempts takes no prisoners.
Jamal is not back, he only had two games of 30+ points against Dallas and NY and he is responsible for a lot of turnovers, he no longer assists Jokic even when he is completely alone, he dribbles for 12-15 seconds and in the end he either loses the ball or throw it towards a player who dies for it and ends up losing it. Jamal has turned into a very selfish player, he actually reminds me of a teenager who is angry and then shows that frustration in selfishness. He's also jealous of Russ and I think he'd rather see him off the team completely. And finally, most importantly, Denver has the worst bench in the entire NBA league, MPJ is a player who is not capable of playing against 60% of teams, and the coaches noticed that very sensitive point in Denver's defense between MPJ and Jokic, and they constantly attack between the two of them, because MPJ is very bad defensively.
He prefers difficult shots which is annoying. He wants to be fading away or sideways when he could just square up and take a shot on balance, but he wants to do the "MJ!" thing we did as kids in the 90's.
Legs explained why wemby actually doesn't get officiated correctly. It seems like it's the same with any players who are freakish in some way - LeBron, steph, zion, jokic. They don't know how to call those guys
I have to question bontemps basketball IQ with his take on Westbrook and the fit with the nuggets ! Denver would be in a huge hole if it wasn’t for his play this year. We lack depth and his has somewhat neutralize that ! Jamal is clearly playing better at the 2
How about we just not disparage anyone based on genetic traits outside their control? Lol, I would never dare comment on any guy’s height who is shorter than me. It’s just rude. Some people be such dumb MFs
RUclipsrs are starting to say the Clippers can contend. Kawhi Leonard is on this team. His right knee will prevent them from going far in the playoffs.
I wish that these guys had their own channel.... I don't wanna see the rest of the ESPN stuff... I think it's criminal that they have like 50 different shows all combine to this one channel on RUclips
Two sentences (of several more) i stopped listening to years ago: "If Kawhi is coming back, .." "When Zion is healthy,.." Honorable mention:"LaMelo is playing..", "Luka`s MVP case..", "Joel looks great.." I don`t like Russ as player at all, since his 5% flaws overshadow the 95% greatness he brings to the game in the moments when it matters the most. But what i defineteley admire about him is, that he almost always is on the court playing.
Denver.... Biggest clown organization in the entire NBA world... And they are the one who have best player in the entire world! Like ?!???? Disgusting behavior and really pathetic... Sorry Jokić 😞🤦😔
Wemby fouled Zu from the start of that game. It was at least 4 fouls not called on Wemby go back and you’ll see it yourself. So how is he complaining… smdh
Obviously, as a coach, the real answer is that you need to make it work for all of them. If you just look at it as having more than five guys you want to start, and you haven't used every one of the line-ups yet, you just put the youngest guy back on the bench. Seems logical to me. I'd say at least its a toss-up when you consider your star personally asked for Russ, and is happy with what they are doing together.
Bontemps would be great to sit next to on a long flight, would put his AirPods in and wouldn’t say a word with a grumpy look the whole flight … my kinda pissed off for nothing 😂🤝
Bontemps sounds like he hasn't watched a single Nuggets game he's just going off whatever preconceived notion he has in his head. He still thinks Jamal is playing like the 2023 play-offs, and just completely overlooks that Westbrook actually elevates Jokic.
Zubac has been in the NBA for how long now and people literally who cover the league for a living *still* can’t pronounce his name correctly? It’s Zu-Bahtz, not Zu-Botch… 🤦🏻♂️
See the reason why he isn’t starting is because when it comes to passing and setting guys up Westbrook is the second best in the team. Multiple times every game Murray misses passes Russ n jokic don’t miss passes plus rus only shooting like 8 shots so they basically getting rebound assist Russ with controlled scoring opportunities you can’t lose and wait to the playoffs Westbrook is a career 26 ppg scorer
@@scamlikely3531 He's "not a good defender" but he gets hustle steals and hustle blocks leading to easy transition offense in every game he's ever played. The truth is, he's only ever had two real weaknesses that mattered. Inaccurate shooting streaks and turnovers. The Denver version of Russ is vastly improved in both areas thus far. The only reason to denigrate his play at all or consider benching him would be to pre-emptively assume he's going to devolve. Anyone who's gonna do that would then be a total moron for having signed him in the first place, in my opinion. There is no law saying the changes in minutes can't be mitigated with a line mix that makes everyone work. That's what coaching is after all. Having too many starter level guys is a great problem to have.
1:27 it’s because your frame is very thin and shoulders narrow with a weak chin (objectively) - you just have small man features in the upper body and face lol
Bontembs guy hates Westbrook so much that he cant see nuggets need his D against fast players/teams. Last year clippers messed up his rhytm and made him only of ball player. First year he was good with clippers. What a horrible analytic guy...
Lay off the Jazz.... Clearly they are losing on purpose... Lauri,Sexton,Collins,Kessler.... Could beat ALOT of teams ya know that. Young talent is not coming along so well lol but They are hard to watch on purpose.
Their best player is a #3 at best on a championship team. The rest of the roster works its way down from there. They’re not talented enough to win games. Only team with a worse roster is the wizards.
@@jumelhopkins1353 Lauri is a 50/40/90 at SEVEN FEET. Promise if the Jazz wanted to win more games they could. Is all I am saying. Lauri and Steph could win it all. Warriors F***ed Up
You idiots are making the all star lineups so boring. Half of these guys don't even have a signature move that fans can remember. Garland, Herro, are u frigging kidding me. Be ready to lose more fans.

Wont work at all in may

There was no Westbrook trade. He signed for veterans minimum as a free agent
Why does Bontemps always sound like he's annoyed at discussing any topic?
Because he's miserable
Cuz that's Scrooge McBasketball😂
Hes good at his job but otherwise seems like a pretty dour guy
Autism
@@JeReMyBrOwN504haha it’s true
Bontemps is always tuning out these other guys and then repeating what has already been said.
Clippers with they own arena this year still had the most back to backs 17 and played 6 games in 9 days...
and their best player only has half of one leg
they got really unlucky with hopefully a once in a generation fires.
@@chrismyco7950they still have the most scheduled back to backs of any team in the NBA regardless of the fires
So... Botempts is saying that Russell playing well IS A PROBLEM.
If he was playing worse... Russ would be "washed".
Amazing
Windy is 100% ONPOINT. “That’s a humble brag”
Bontemps be glazing himself right from the get go.
Listening while I unload this truck. Like everyday. Let's do it.
Bontemps should make a shirt that says "what are we doing here" 😂
It does feel like Bontemps has short-man's disease so I guess that's why I figured he wasn't a six footer.
Truly love this pod, keep up the good work!

I miss the lowe post
Derrick jones jr is a big pick up for the clippers great defense
Keep underestimating Joker and us here in Denver. This is where we like to be heading into our 2nd ring!
Honesty the nuggets is good , but just not enough . I don’t think they winning this year . Gotta add more bench pieces
1:27 McMahon nailed it

The Westbrook slander has to stop!
S/O to the producer for adding relevant info that occured and passed before this dropped lol

@@Earl_E_Burd He will never be able to float like MJ, and Jordan did it for a reason, most defenders would already be down when he released the ball.
So true!!!!
maxey playing more efficient, guys hitting their 3s, nurse actually playing the young players, Eric Gordan resurgence. the sixers are back baby!
Lol maybe if joel got a new knee and pg was 5 years younger

glad to see theres at least one advocate for questioning the sanity of betting on games nice one wendy.
Thank goodness for Tim... MacMahon!!! He projects the basketball wisdom of a seven footer. Please keep up the level-headed Thunder coverage, Big Man!
Lol always get a laugh and learn a thing or two from The Three Amigos!
32:29 we don’t want that called. Big men are allowed to be a little physical in the paint. The whistle should be used sparingly
Braun in the playoffs must be a beast
If ‘myriad’ is considered a rare word, perhaps these folks all need to go back to college and take a literature class or two

Westbrook misses A LOT of layups. -Clippers Fan
I saw him miss the backboard on a layup
I have never seen Bontemps in person,, but I was surprised to hear that was 6'4." Something about the shoulders up view. Would take some thought.
Two sentences (of several more) i stopped listening to years ago:
"If Kawhi is coming back, .."
"When Zion is healthy,.."
Honorable mention:"LaMelo is playing..", "Luka`s MVP case..", "Joel looks great.."

Handstands are a normal workout. You guys need to find a new slant.
Shai never dropping 70 lol
Malone just likes rubbing things into the lakers. Like hey look at what we are doing with Westbrook
Its bc he gives short man vibes 😭😭🤣🤣
Jamal should come off the bench as a primary creator imo. Keep Russ, Braun, MPJ, and Gordon starting with Jokic.
I would agree if Murray ain sign his extension but honestly Russ should be on the bench to create for the bench as intended.
Nah, cuz you need Murrays confidence in the playoffs. When it matters most im trusting Murray-Jokic over Westbrook-Jokic
Malone needs to get his stuff together! Too much reliance on Russ lately and he's turning it over way too much as he force feeds Jokic.
Go coach
Haha, I'm all for him getting it together! Some poor rotations and guys not responding lately though!
Agreed, but i think the nuggets main issues are depth, defense and determination.
Ball is a ball hog volume scorer made of glass. He's worth nothing to anyone.
SGA breathtaking? Its just watching a guy doing drills pretty much.
