Good to see some more personality from Windy on this podcast

[@NoFrenemiesAllowed]

I disagree with Bontemps' assertion that the Knicks' current starting five represent the "much-vaunted" (a $5 word for praised or boasted about) finite lineup. The Knicks had a gap at the 4 after moving Randolph, which shifted OG into that role and brought Hart off the bench into the starting lineup. If Mitchell Robinson were to return and reclaim his starting spot, it would allow OG to slide back to the 3 and KAT to settle into the 4. That might be the immensely coveted lineup.

[@firuBR]

Yeah, obviously. I don't know how can bontemps be so assertive while talking sh*t

Huge Celtics fan here, but AD is the MVP thus far. Hes been playing amazing and has earned it 💯

[@lazzi2462]

As good as Tatum is, he has a really great team, so that kind of hinders his chances. Curry & Donovan Mitchell should be thrown into the MVP mix. I'm sure nobody expected either of those teams to be the #1 seeds thus far, especially GSW, everyone thought they were done. However, the East is very weak, only four teams are above .500 thus far, whereas in the West there are 11 teams above .500, so that has to be taken into consideration as well.

[@justinedwards101]

You cant build rome in a day. The same applies to the knicks starting 5. They are already top 3 in offense. Why cant they be allowed time to figure it out on defense? Plus half their bench is injured. Bontempts needs to chill.

Hense he's more valuable as a player, get used to it.

@Sammy-f7l browns a solid option on most teams, even in the west and let's not forget Caruso and Jrue are both all defense and you have porzingis to throw in there too. They'd be fine. I'd also like to give Masulla credit too, he's done a great job. 👍

[@osirisra1476]

Bontemps, don't you think a healthy Mitchell Robinson would allow a Bridges or Anunoby or KAT to play fewer minutes and thus be fresher (and perform better on defense) in the minutes they play? Also, isn't it a possibility that some games closing with Mitchell Robinson may be iddal for the team?

76ers get Embiid playing remotely well they need to trade him asap.. Get whatever you can for him now.. Because he's on a huge decline and you aren't winning anything by keeping him.. The only way Embiid can win a championship. Is if he lands on a big market team that can afford to pay him and multiple other "stars" and role player's. A small market with a constant injury prone guy as the main star. Then only able to afford 2 other's with very low level role player's due to the 3 max contracts you're paying.. there's just no way.. had they picked great in the draft with every pick over the year's. Had McCain and PG year's ago with Maxey.. a Batum and Melton. Then you're talking about a championship team.. but that ship has sailed. 🔥 sell..

Who cares about the 76ers. They're the biggest disappointment in NBA history. With the level of a top tier player of all time wasted.. Embiid has never been able to control his emotions. He should have also sat out instead of rushing back from injury. When it was obvious they wouldn't have won anyways. I'm sure PG would have loved to have joined Embiid and won championship.. but that offer of a max contract was all he really was hoping for. He knew Embiid was the next coming of Kwaih Management.
