NBA Finals Game 3 Preview & Lakers Coaching Search | The Hoop Collective

[@sydneydance]

In person collective is awesome. Need more of this gentlemen!!! 👏👏

[@taylor6466]

Definitely helps the flow of conversation

[@ericmmelin]

Mavs needs to win if we want more :)

[@roderikmeijer7916]

Calling MacMahon a gentleman is just uncalled for.

[@michaelmo1977]

It's hard not to interrupt each other on a zoom call. This makes it a lot more enjoyable

[@mohammedamin1995]

This format is awesome

[@Fl01892]

Awesome how quick the KZbin Version is online. really enjoying it!

[@winonafrog]

12:56 Subtle Windy sleep update 😅 ESPN doesnt realize but hoop fans care more about this (and the weekly Bobby Marks “I recorded this video but my computer crashed” update) than we do about the Lakers coach hire.

[@ManOfTheYeear]

Goated Trio. Need their own show

[@Luismolina12]

We are on fire!! Third straight in person pod! Love it! 🔥🔥

[@BankonJovan]

Great show guys!

[@MateChocolate94]

Great podcast! I'd rather hear these gents than a lot of other analysts 💪

[@Earl_E_Burd]

Another great episode. Had all the bells and whistles. Huerter joke cracked me up

[@kevinwright9351]

Awesome show, always great but even better when you are together

[@justkaak]

35:14 i really enjoy the subtle jokes you guys make. so effortless lmaoo

[@MrSdasf]

Cheers from Brazil. Football players here are under way more pressure than Tatum.

[@LazyGrilling52]

MacMahon: was the Brazilian reporter a pawn? Windy: Ask kyrie 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀

[@A1since]

You can literally feel the difference in when bontemps talk lakers vs Boston 😂😂

[@IHadToMakeThisAccount]

Because one team is irrelevant and ones in the finals

[@billshun3963]

Now team has a HC and one don’t to be precise.

[@FreshWitcher]

Galaxy brain Bontemps

[@masonhannin8416]

In person hoop collective 🔥

[@leetraviusmckay314]

"Luka gave dem a 30 piece all flats lemon pepper" 😂

[@RG-wk4xf]

When someone says "I will die out there'''......means, he will play!

[@JCC311]

"Getting Kyrie involved"...? He is involved. He has shot 18/19 shots a game. This isn't the OkC series where he only had 6 shots in a game. Actually, it might help Dallas if he did only have 6 shots a game if he is going to hold the ball, waste clock and shoot 35%.

[@Abhinav-mpeg4]

18:08 barz 🔥

[@unconditionalLove1]

Ergin Ataman is the only name the Lakers should consider for head coach

[@TalesOfTheTrade]

Anyone know who Brian was talking about at 17:30 - player who took injections for ribs ?

[@Insomnia99530]

not sure but i think Looney got injured in the Ribs in the Finals

[@honeybadger1325]

Now he's playing Huerter and I don't mean Kevin 😎

[@DD-sr9xm]

The Lakers offered what they could afford and hoped that all the ancillary benefits (living in LA like a celeb, raising profile, massive bankable notoriety) would make up for the lower direct $$$. Why drag them? Hurley has an amazing job, is on the verge of making history, and all of that will have future value. That’s hard to beat anyway.

[@lemini4k]

Luka better get a 40-point triple double tonight to shift the series. Kyrie needs a 25-piece double-double with assists. If not, Celtics are going to definitely win this series. 😂

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

The reason there is so much talk about Tatum is that, since 1980, only one team has won the championship without a Top-50 all time player: * Lakers [Magic, Kareem] * Celtics [Bird, McHale] * Sixers [Dr J, Moses] * Pistons [Isiah] * Bulls [Michael, Scottie] * Rockets [Dream] * Spurs [Tim, Admiral] * Lakers [Shaq, Kobe] * Pistons [ --- ] * Heat [Wade, Shaq] * Celtics [KG] * Mavericks [Dirk] * Heat [LeBron, Wade] * Warriors [Steph; KD] * Raptors [Kawhi ?] * Lakers [LeBron] * Bucks [Giannis] * Nuggets [Joker] * Celtics [ --- ] or Mavericks [Luka] People expect that Tatum needs to be a Top-50 player for the Celtics to win. But instead, if they win they're going to be the other most balanced champion like the 2004 Pistons.

[@wingmanwebb]

21:44 what the hell was that

[@A1since]

Kyrie's ISOs have been inefficient this series timpf posted something about it yesterday

[@nicholaseaster58]

Kyrie was also down 0-2 to the Celtics in '22 and got broomsticked.

[@kiddbuu5178]

Bontemps is King 🤴

[@dannymysak]

JJ probably has enough jobs but he could be the first american Bond! Double OO JJ!

[@drewn5271]

bontemps, as a boston homer, left some meat scraps on the table here... paul pierce didnt merely win a title, he did it by outplaying kobe, and stealing the ball from him on several occasions in the pivotal game 4 in LA. thats why he never has to say he's sorry. he wasnt just there for the ride

[@leetraviusmckay314]

"maybe LeBron should retire and be the head coach" 😂

[@artpolamo877]

Play Porzingis and use him as a decoy lol

[@Whichway1]

Mavs winning game 3

[@briansmith1218]

Lakers have 16+1, not 17 +1 championships

[@nr14989]

No CC stories.... 😊

[@martinjohn9904]

Can you please stop talking about the irrelevant Lakers and their attempts to acquire the services of Lebron's new scapegoat.

[@mescudi971]

Lakers roster > cavs roster 🤣🤣🤣🤣 these dudes are insane . LA would sweep cle

[@MrJulio1738]

If u couldn’t tell when tinges got hurt u didn’t watch the game lmao

[@Bastillon]

Bontemps is Jrue Holiday of ESPN. The most underrated analyst and a great reporter

[@FreshWitcher]

More like the Kendrick Perkins of ESPN

[@AlexandreRibeiro-ic5bj]

🥲🥲😇

[@haqctrix]

PorzinGlass gonna have to retire early like Yao ming!

[@prtk_m]

Diabolic 😭

[@DamjanVeljko]

Yao retired as HOF. Pingus will be forgotten

[@NoVisionGuy]

@@DamjanVeljko yeah, KP never carried a team like Yao did, and KP was always injured his whole career.

[@AmericanBoy4832]

Why do u have bomtempts? He has no value.

[@alekzych1105]

Brown and Tatum need to go hard to the basket and do so through Mavs bigs to get them into foul trouble and through Luka, bumping his chest to wear him out. Real men ball, bring the 70s - 90s toughness back!

[@arashparsa1376]

Can you please ask Bontemps to talk less…he’s just obviously talking out of his budget!

[@kalebduggar4251]

No offense McMahon, but why is the least intelligent member of the pod pronouncing the medical terms? 2:00

[@Riddick_Group_Collections]

These guys love trying to put bows on players careers in there early-mid 20’s. Extremely irresponsible analysis for casual NBA fans

[@bigboi3512]

Medical jargon, English please
