[upbeat music] Coming up on the Zach Lowe Show, the great Tim Legler is here to help break down game one of Spurs-Wolves, and game one of Knicks-Sixers. There was a little more than half a game in that series at least, and obviously a thriller in San Antonio that came down to the wire. The Wolves, man, underestimate the Wolves at your peril. What a game one win for them. We'll talk about what happened in those games. Should Mitch Johnson have called a timeout? How is this series gonna unfold? What adjustments do we see from all four teams coming into game two? Then we do some quickie previews of Lakers-Thunder. Are the Lakers just drawing dead here without Luka? What can they do? What should we expect to see? And then a little more on Cavs-Pistons, which I think is a sneaky, interesting series. Obviously both teams coming off seven game wins that feel a little hollow, a little disappointing. Like Cavs, you needed seven? No Emmanuel Quickly, no Brandon Ingram. Couldn't win one road game. Yeah, RJ Barrett's shot hit the moon and back, but still, like feels a little disappointing. Detroit, do they even win that series if Franz Wagner doesn't get injured? That would be, it's a pretty disappointing question to ask regardless of what your answer is to it, for a number one seed that won 60 whatever games. They got tested, both these teams got tested, and they're gonna test each other in really interesting ways. We get into that. And then I go solo for a little bit on the big news of the week, Jamal Mosley out in Orlando, Masai Ujiri in in Dallas, Bryson Graham in in Chicago. Good luck to Bryson Graham dealing with the Bulls ownership.
