Knicks vs. 76ers Epic Conclusion + Pacers ELIMINATE Bucks | The Hoop Collective 

JB is him...I pulled an allnighter in France to watch the Knicks and see JB make history, tired but wouldn't have missed that game for anything. NY STAND UP -LETS GO KNICKS - Salute & Peace

yesterday: Maxey is a bonafide superstar today: Maxey is an all star caliber player

34:54 Jackson will you do me a favor and lower Bontemps’ volume 5-7 degrees and raise Windy’s & McMahon 1-3? He wakes up my kid once an episode. 😂

Brunson facing his former coach Rick Carlisle. Obi Toppin facing his former team NYK. OG going back to Indiana where he went to college. Knicks renewing their postseason rivalry with Pacers. Lots of storylines for this series.

Windy the knicks were in the second round last year lol

3 things sixers need to do to forge ahead... 1. Work with Embiid's rehab to lose 10-15lbs and the right diet for a complete season ... He is too skilled to be limping thru ends of season .. 2. Go get a legit star to supplement the Embiid-Maxie duo... Somebody like a Mikhail Bridges 3. Go get a player like CP3 to backup Maxie and settle down their half court sets in the clutch....

48:10. James harden has had 16 games he shot 20% or worse in a playoff game (not 13, I double checked basketball reference). Luka has “zero”. Casuals gotta stop with the Harden Luka comparisons.

Saying Embiid had a good series is inaccurate. Yeah, he had a good stat line, but he shot under 30% in the 4th qtr for the entire series. This MVP superstar caliber player is basically non existent in 6 straight 4th qtrs and every game was close and decided in the 4th qtr. Embiid is infamous for choking. He may have played his best series stat wise, but he can’t help himself! He will always be a choke artist. And let’s not forget the crying, staring down at the ground in embarrassment. He’s a DIRTY player. He has the most flagrant fouls in the NBA since he’s been in the league. Even more than Draymond and he’s played significantly less games than Draymond. He tried to injure two Knicks this series. He’s a flopper, a foul chaser, and always has excuses. He never takes accountability. First it was Ben Simmons. Then it was Doc Rivers. Then it was James Harden. MAYBE EMBIID ISN’T THAT GUY! Anyone who supports this guy, is seriously questionable…

Pat Bev was actually very good in this series. He was one of their better players.

Tyrese don't have to be a volume scorer like Brunson for Pacers to win. He just need to average 25 PPG. They have the best bench in the play offs & they have a champ in pascal who is a proven play off riser. Rick needs to use his players correctly & he must make sure his schemes are effective.

I swear Banned gave the same Pat Bev speech last year

Great Ep guys

No room on Planet Bontemps if you have a difference of opinion.

That intro music always bangs

44:44 I like how Windy’s first guess was hardly even heard. 😂

I hope jalen brunson will achieve everything steph has achieved being a PG under 6'3

Durant didn't change jack squat the warriors were already champions and had broke the record for win in a season. All he did was solidify that they would be unbeatable.

People need to rewatch that play. Josh wasn't trying to get rid of the ball. He was just looking to move that ball as teams do. Maxey actually stunted to him, and he had to fake the pass to Donte.

Obviously they didn’t watch the Pacers series vs the Bucks, they think Halliburton has to be great, but the Pacers got scoring from Nesimth, Pascal, Turner, TJ, OBi, Nembhard, nobody in Indiana is scared of the Knicks lol Let’s Go Pacers

Pat Bev gonna be working on his passing all summer.

Brunson is like IT in Celtics before. Y'all forget IT in Celtics...

Wish the Pacers got more praise, but I understand.

Man, Brian is headed towards a heart attack or stroke with the stress he’s putting on his body…. Quit that GetUp stuff dude. Your family needs you

Maxi had a "bad" game 6 because the Knicks doubled him the whole game and the rest of the 76ers roster was not good enough to take advantage

Windhorst: “Joel Embiid got landed on in Denver” - FALSE, Embiid hasn’t played in Denver since before the pandemic

The guy in the middle was definitely sad about that Bucks lost. Let's Go Pacers !

Sooooo happy to hear Bam and Bontemps give Beverly the business. The guy is a fool and fully deserves a suspension for his latest nonsense.

27:12 ...hilarious sequence :)

The only sad thing is that with Thibs it is very difficult to be completely healthy come playoff time. He is gonna abuse the starters minutes played

Yall are Sixers & Embiid bias lol its sick

Stats Williams is the real MVP

Lin-sanity is etched into the walls of NYK history

I'm stoked Buddy got to come in and drop some important buckets. $40million off the books is gonna do wonders for Philly. Morey gonna play with that money but don't be surprised if you see a few former Rockets on the team next season. However, I can't wait to stop hearing about Troel throughout the rest of the offseason. Go Knicks!

But other than that Mr. MacMahon, how do you really feel about Patrick Beverly?

Sounds like this series is gonna be for brunson what "tobias harris over me?!" was for jimmy

33:33 I just want to say I don’t think the Bucks are the biggest disappointment. For me it is Phoenix though I thought they had more potential before the Beal move. That was belligerent move for me. I saw the Bucks flaws on defense were too big to overcome, and I’ve always seen Dame as one of those good players on bad teams as McMahon might term it.

Sixers may have an emerging star in Maxey and cap room and a mad scientist in Morey as GM, but they also have a constant dark cloud in Embiid the Invalid Giant. It's 10 years into the Process, and he's not getting healthier or younger, now having crazy new things like Bell's Palsy. He's like a 7'2" Kawhi who hasn't won any championships, and with Boston's young(er) talent and perhaps an ascendant Magic, plus a plucky Knicks I don't see the Sixers with Embiid being able to reach the mountaintop. If he ever reaches Conf Finals, they'd have to call it a success.

Umm hello is everyone forgetting about James Harden? As far as free agent signings go, James Harden turned the Rockets into a Championship contender for years. And if not for the Warriors i think the Rockets win a championship.

34:34 I do think the Bucks have more depth than Phoenix. Who for me, are the biggest disappointment. I really thought KD and Book would be magical together, granted that was before they sold all of their depth and the rest of their capital for Bradley Beal (another good player on bad teams for me).

Shoutout Lavar Ball!! He was right! Lakers will never win without Lonzo. Trade AD for Gelo asap 💯 BBB is king 👑

Maybe wait until the next day for the analysis next time. Too much adrenaline and too little actual analysis. It was a memorably good series, but it was not a series between two memorably great teams. Basically both showed that they are not easy to beat, but they also showed that they are not going to beat other good teams easily. Maxey showed that he is great, but a real star is consistently good. Embid showed that he is a force, and herhaling fysical issues, but he also mentally checked out of games just when he should have checked in. He scored 16 in the third quarter last night, so at that point he was physically good enough. But in the fourth quarter, so right aftera four minute break, he stopped scoring. I am not a Pacers fan, and I do expect the Knicks to win, but Haliburtom does not have to be godlike for the Pacers to win. He just has to be a lot better than he has been in 2024 so far. Apart from him the Pacers have another player who can score 37 in a game, the Knicks do not. And the Pacers have a lot of other players that can score, the Knicks do not.

lol see ya 👋 ✌️ 76ers, Bucks

Good review, but the chemistry is stressed

So it’s most definitely Knicks in 4 from the sound of this conversation. The Pacers aren’t even a real basketball team, they’re pretty much a G League squad.

The Kings v Warriors series was better. Indy vs Cleveland in 2018 was better. Yall just have recency bias

Bob Pettit drop

the Pat Bev hate is peak

This podcast is all over the place too much y'all interrupt each other's thoughts consistently and rarely let anyone finish a sentence

As a Celtics fan i dont want to face the EPO Knicks in the ECF

Brunson is him

Tracy McGrady to Orlando

This guy trippin hard saying Bucks are in the same situation as the Suns. First of all, Giannis is more valuable and impactful than KD, Booker and Beal together. gtfoh

Knicks are for real. We don't even have Randle.

Pacers did everything they could to lose this series….they stole a game on the road and won in 6? The two games they lost looked like experience losses for a young team with some core guys that have never been there. The game 1 where they got hit in the mouth, and the 1st elimination game where it was much of the same. Not saying they beat the Knicks, but he’s being a little obtuse about what happened in the series.

"Brian you love to say well they're hurt so we don't know, We do know🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓" that's the regular season nobody cares what they did in the regular season it was all about the playoffs and we weren't healthy simple as that. You dudes stay hating on giannis and the bucks it's disgusting

How did the pacers do what they could do to lose. They lost 2 road playoff games? Stupid comment

So now it's an accomplishment to make the conference finals? smh The Lakers made the conference finals last season and they say it was failure season.

Bob Pettit

Was Tim Bontemps doing the podcast from the 76ers team bathroom?!

Thanks for the dedication to bring this Podcast to us

The Bucks have dicinntigrated in a season. Giannis' is no longer bulletproof. Dame is showing age as is Middleton. Surprisingly, Brook Lopez has aged as well as anyone. And the coaching situation is a joke. I'd rather listen to Doc on telecasts than explaining losses.

We got it Bontemps. You love Embiid. 🙄. 9:20 referring to himself as neutral is hilarious .

Joel Embid is a great player, but he has no idea how to win. That is fine. I am still a fan. But It has been a decade of playoff blunders. and when you watch in the 4th quarter. Honestly, it is like he he does not know what to do.

What a great day. Arrogant pompous Sixers fans got what they deserved. Raptors fans warned them how Nurse overplayed his players, but they were too pretentious to listen. Next time, learn to listen instead of thinking y'all know everything and how the world revolves around you

Knicks in 4 btw

I can’t even find what Pat did in the Locker room, what happened?

Pacers have a chance. Stop being prisoners of the moment

Is he inside the bathroom ?

When you say “whatever” you lost in an argument.

The most important player on the pacers is Siakam. You guys are casuals..you just ramble on without having an in depth knowledge of the game .

Cvbnm

Trading Pat Bev just don't understand Cam and Buddy are defensive liabilities. Buddy even if he isn't scoring would create space for Pat to have a little offensive impact.

Embiid had 39 points playing with knee injury and you can see his knee was swallowed the whole series on the other hand giannis didn't even bother to show up to even 1 game..props to embiid man

You can hate on pat bev all you want but he is the last on the list on why they got bounced in the first round.

Luka's Mavs blew out Phoenix which caused the blow that team up, and the same with the Clippers this year. The man has a killer instinct.

Glad players are starting to think about how reporters report on them and denying their questions. ESPN has spun racist BS around the MVP Jokic refusing to be interviewed by people like Perk SASNick wright etc is the perfect response. Pay the fine and refuse their interviews

JB is great, he should thanks Luka there's so much of Doncics in his game

out of 58 minutes they talked about pacers 30 seconds

Taliburton earned himself a lifetime troll this series 🧌 🏃🏿‍♂️🔫

He takes so many shots though. If Luka or Kyrie took 34 shots a game they’d score 40 points a game.

Brunson combines free throws 26 Maxey 6 games 1 & 6 Crooked Scott Foster was sent to ensure there wasn't gonna be a coin flip game 7...this NBA product is trash 🗑️🚮

Brunson, can you say tampering.

No love for Pacers - ok smart heads

Brunson is a foul baiter...like every other player that puts up big stats...he's still him..both are true imo

To say the pacers win with Giannis is just outright foolish

Windy is such a hater. Discredit Kyrie’s achievements because his team mate was Lebron. If yoh know what athletes have to go through to achieve these goals in their career you won’t be spouting such nonsense.

this is the most negative nba podcast 😂😂😂

the 76ers-knicks series was good but you guys are going a bit over board. i hate when recency bias causes people to gush. it's not historic series. it was great. that's it.

MacMahon… one of the worst storytellers of our generation 😴 😴

bro tim botemps thinking the knicks are some type of world beaters is actually hilarious LMAOOOO hes way too excited i cant wait for the pacers to give him a reality check he needs to get humbled asappppp lmao yikes. Please dont tell me all knicks fans think like this LMFAO.
