WHAT A LIKABLE GUEST
What a great guest, hopefully this the last time we see him on this great show.
Anyone who picked the 6ers over us i cant take serious
He's so not mad that he won't let Macri get a word in to start lol. It's all good Bontemps, just weird to think this would be the year Embiid would make a conference finals given the lack of consistency.
Nah you hate the Knicks and they shoved it down your throat
Not proving everyone wrong. Just Timmy bontemps
Well, well, well...
Trying to use Embiid getting hurt as the reason the series wasn't competitive lol. 1. His default state is injured. 2. They played their most competitive game without him. 3. Knicks missed OG (arguably their best playoff performer) for half the series.
Bontemps is an energy vampire.
Brought a clown on, did ya?
A lot of backhanded compliments from bontemps
Yeah this episode sucks. Don't bring him back. SKIP.
Huge get!!! Great job Andrew. Awesome interview Jon!
Respect to Tim for entering enemy territory right after the rout. I don’t hate you Bontemps . You’re aight. The shift is real. If we retrospectively compare this current team playing the way it is today against the team that played during the regular season, the underwhelming tag legitimately applies.
Did Bontemps really just say "super saiyan knicks"? 1) I didn't think he was familiar with DBZ 2) I like the sound of it
Yeah Tim is on the back burner rn after that horrendous pick
Gmac should’ve done this interview…. I can’t see him letting Tim off the hook as much as Jon did. I remember when yall said… Tim Bontemps can get it!
Ohh Timmy Timmy Timmy. Just own that your prediction was awful from the jump and you like being douchey.
Is it me or does Tim bontemps always sound arrogant and full of himself
Self awareness is an important trait that not everyone is capable of.
