1. Herro is having the same stats on par with mitchell? so how is he not in there? or even considered by Macmahon

2. These guys are not in tune with the fans and what fans want to see. Constantly bashing one of the most talented and fan favorite players the NBA has to offer. NBA, do not let the media ruin all star weekend. The people have spoken. Lamelo Ball, All Star starter is what we want.

3. Windy using Ozempic?

4. I can't stand the use of the word product when talking about professional sports.

5. Bontemps does call it how he sees it, which is nice. Windy, however, is on the Suns payroll.

6. they really said devin booker for all star also why tf do the lakers get 2

7. ALPEREN SENGUN well deserve to be an ALL STAR!

8. I'm in Cleveland and can barely catch Cavs games. I wish at least 20-30 games were locally broadcast. NBA we hate fandual as a network

9. crazy how the nuggets were the first seed and didnt get 2 all stars but all of sudden now the 1st seeds need more than 1

10. What impressed me even more is the defense the Cavs played in the final 5 mins of the game…
    They absolutely could beat the Celtics in 7 and reach the finals…. It wouldn't surprise me at all ..

11. Its hilarious how everyone is complaining about threes and yet the Wolves last year and Cavs this year are proving you can play a two big traditional lineup and still succeed

12. Yall are gunna be shocked when wemby the only one trying 🤣

13. “Windy, grab the wheel?”

    Cade deserves to be an All-Star!

14. Genuinely surprised Bontemps didnt try to talk them out of Wemby making it. I was sure he was going to bring up that the spurs arent good. Dude is the biggest Wemby hater

15. Are we considering the format change? Aren't there 4 teams this year?

16. If it took a couple YEARS for the Cavs to figure out how to play JA & Mobley on the floor at the same time, will the Thunder really be able to instantly make I Hart & Chet work immediately mid-season?

    OKC having both bigs will be good for the league and the playoffs, but I don’t think you can assume they will get to the place Allen & Mobley are without some extended time on the floor together.

    After all, everyone said the Cavs can’t play with two bigs for the past two years, and time together is what eventually changed that perception.

    Oh, plus having Kenny Atkinson…

17. Not booker

18. The Cavs looked good. Shai was out there trying to be AI or something. One of the deepest squads in NBA out here playing Harden ball. Pass the rock mvp

19. Lamelo leads the league with turnovers and never a winner. Come on people

20. P

21. Just because a team is playing well, you put 4 players into all stars ? They are not stars, just a team jelling…you guys idiots

22. No Luka is nasty work

23. I really thank you, guys, for your journalism and friendly commitment to the game. You are a very good and entertaining company.

    Though I appreciate all of you, I won't be remissive to publicly give it up for Bontemps's accuracy in filtering data and always giving insightfull analysis.

    "Adéu, amics", wich is the catalan translation for MacMahon's usual goodbye. From Jordi Fernandez's birthland, Catalunya.

24. Here we go with ridiculous criteria that only fit when they serve their point. I think I remeber why I stopped listening to them. ESPN's coverage and analysis has really fallen off

25. Go Cavs…..

26. mobley and alen the best big duo since bynun and gasol

27. What does USWB stand for? thanks

28. The hawks weren't the last team to have 4 all stars. The kd warriors were

29. This is Mobley's third season.

30. Just three white guys who have continuously hated on lamelo for no reason

31. Luka and Kyrie lock

32. Try to leave Kyrie out is a tragedy y’all are funny lol

33. Update: Isaiah Joe took that comment personally.

34. Bontemps is making this tough to listen, this isn't a shot at his analysis or anything, he's just so unlikeable, it's unbearable

35. Tim Bontemps is an Interruption Specialist which, after a while, made this program unwatchable

36. J dub better be an all star. One of the best two way players in the association.

37. The amount hate of on this panel for not even saying Harden is an all star candidate 😂, terrible pod man

38. Thank god you three don’t actually pick the teams

39. Paolo and Franz are all stars. Paolo is definitely being picked by coaches

40. Interesting, where was this energy for the Celtics last season? The level of hatred for the Celtics and its players that comes from this company and this podcast is absurd. Especially, the idiotic buffoon with the southern accent. Once the Celtics win the championship again this season, I don’t want to hear any praise for the team and any of the players to come from the mouths of Cavs corner sponsor and the loud southern idiot. Otherwise, expect me to go slap the Celtics name from their mouths myself. This is not a threat, but a promise.

41. Wins should definitely take into account with the all star game. No way LaMelo should be number 1 in the East and Charlotte sucks. He must have a lot of fans lol

42. Celtics lost to sacremento tonight and I can put all my money when windy asks him about Boston next episode he’s gonna start grifting as usual

43. I’m sorry 😞 Bontemps voice, or nasal audio.. I can’t listen 🎧 sorry guys, not pleasant.

44. Cavs/Thunder was beautiful basketball
