Zach’s Mega-Playoff Preview! The West With Bill Simmons, and Eastern Previews With Mo Dakhil
Zach is joined by Bill Simmons to begin his playoff preview, but not before reacting to breaking news in New Orleans and Phoenix (0:52). They then talk Western play-in games (18:58), Clippers-Nuggets (45:18), and Wolves-Lakers (58:47). Afterwards, Mo Dakhil hops on to talk the Eastern play-in games (01:12:41), Pistons-Knicks (01:32:07), and Bucks-Pacers (01:48:14).

I completely disagree that Wolves don't have anyone to drive to the hoop against the lakers. We have Ant, Naz, Julius. Also don't forget about terrance shannon jr. if he gets some playing time. He dropped 25 against the lakers when Ant got ejected. Lakers defense will be exposed
zach be honest here have you seen giannis play for than 5 games this season?
More please!
Dam can we have some time stamps?
The Bucks don’t match up well vs the Pacers at all. The Pacers have always been good at stopping Giannis.
Love the Zubac praise! He earned it
For Goodness sake…Make sure your bed is made if it is going to be in the frame!
Lakers cancelled the mark williams trade because they are going to use a similar package to land Durant this summer.
Nice
This should be a weekly pod. Bring in Russillo and we're off to the races. Good to have Zach back in time for playoffs
Nice Hotel room Zach. ESPN knows how to take care of their former employees.
If they’re using this argument for Jokic please go back and give Bron 2018 mvp😂🤦🏾♂️
Big steph glazing. He shat the bed at the end of the clippers game. Imagine if that was Lebron..
Russilo in his feels rn
Lowe looked a little nervous when Simmons started talking Lebron and pieces of chicken 😂
It would be so awesome if Memphis somehow beat GS. Won't happen but…
bill losing KOC only to turn that spot into zach lowe is incredible GM work.
I'm still so mad about yhe muscala gor Zu trade. Magic greatest point guard, worst executive
Even smart people think KD's a top 15er of all time. Damn. Crazy. He's got a lot of people fooled.
I don't see Denver beating the Clips, but you can never count out Joker
Bill is still butt hurt by the 2010 finals lol…
I want to enjoy this , but I just can't. Why are you using Fanduel as a sponsor? Sports gambling is NOT HEALTHY. I refuse to normalize this. They are bad for people and I won't support those who use them as sponsors.
40:40 Having the argument for 2 clippers and not 2 thunder players for all-nba baffles me. Especially when considering a big narrative is that Shai has a superteam 😂
No way Curry is in Zach 1st team
shimmy… shimmy… gimme the shimmy! 1:46:55
I can't stand that these two are influential at all in NBA circles. It's a couple of stat nerds who would get smoked on an actual court. Boners for the big white dude, surprise surprise. At least acknowledge your biases
Seems like a real seriously contending roster is a whole lot of lightning in a bottle, except if you are the Celtics and the Thunder, and you traded your way into the combo of being really bad so your own picks are early, and then many of the numerous picks you've acquired by trading stars when they're value is high also work out really well. Great management obviously is key to that, and they both have a really great and young core. How replicable is that? And then when do they hit the "lose top role players" what happens.
Guessing the over/under on “years on varsity basketball” is zero in this mess.
Crap.. joker is going for MVP/coach
Thanks for making this guys, but could you set up timestamps? That would be apreciated given the +2hr timefram of it.
The junior varsity conference 💀
Zach Lowe is a certified loser. Look at his face, his hair. Listen to his voice. It is such a joke.
As a Wolves fan, we saw how the Celtics took out Luka. Wolves NEVER made Luka play defense in WCF, this series Wolves will have Randle back down Luka. Get Luka tired, get Lebron tired, the Lakers don't have depth, Vanderbilt played for Wolves, we know. Gobert won't be played off the court, his offensive rebounding will be pivotal against this small Lakers team. Wolves in 6!
Bulls should for once get out of the play in and make the playoffs.
Yes, the very astute breakdown of the Lakers chances… Luka and Lebron are hard to officiate and the refs will give them all the calls and the wolves none. Cool commentary.
could listen to these 2 talk ball all day…is this going to be a weekly thing throughout the playoffs?
