The Official 2023-24 NBA Season Preview | Zach Lowe and JJ Redick

[@SlimPippinHustlin]

Jokic reminds me of an older man who has been working at the warehouse for 25 years. He sighs before and after every task… but deep inside he takes pride in doing his job flawlessly.

[@henrytwitchell4578]

I love how Zach doesn't fall for any hot takes and is always very knowledgeable and nuanced in his answers. He just wants to watch good basketball and really knows his stuff. Top writer and basketball mind, great guest to have on the pod, JJ

[@mattpenservio]

He’s the best

[@jourdansarpy4935]

Zach has legit respect for the game and the players and it shows.

[@BabylonGateLA]

He’s a bit of an east coast bias tho

[@Liimbozo]

@@BabylonGateLA he literally picked the clippers to win last year and was one of the first jokic/nuggets believers

[@BabylonGateLA]

@@Liimbozo He was a Celtics fan just like Bill Simmons and most of the Boston media mafia!

[@AyooEChile]

Tim legs then ZACH LOWE?! Thank you JJ🫡

[@jonthesinner]

I have an analytical b0ner

[@dadbodmascot]

Right?! 😅💯👌🏼

[@M.O420]

Man! 💯

[@MeaningfulPossessions]

Tim legs is crazy 🤣🤣🤣

[@BabylonGateLA]

Lets go BOSTON MEDIA MAFIA 💪🏻💪🏻

[@Kidflash255]

Two of the best basketball minds! NBA SEASON IS BACK! LETS GO!

[@TheoneKay]

I just wanna say when the podcast is in this setting it's much more enjoyable to watch and it doesn't feel scuffed

[@phantom_isle]

I don't think having remote guests feels scuffed at all

[@TheoneKay]

Good for you, I don't it's just my opinion.@@phantom_isle

[@jake.presents]

Visually, it feels stuffy. The cabinet & wall behind the guest are so close they're threats to funny-bone zingers.

[@Yaya12244]

JJ is the best voice in basketball media. So much better than the click baity clip based trash on all the big networks. This feels like the only place to get quality basketball minded content. Love it JJ

[@rishabhdevchawla3597]

Incredible duo, superb exposition on the teams & the Zach cooking JJ at the end with regards to all his Ls was hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@sitonmuhdeckasshole]

I think they're the two best analysts in the game right now, ESPN should have them host a show together. I would watch daily.

[@chrispark2151]

While Zach's insight for this season preview is much appreciated, the best part of the pod was the 5 minute detour near the end of the pod where JJ talked about the 15 Clippers 😂😂😂😂 we need a 45 minute pod just on that topic 😂😂

[@bkeene5231]

“This is fantastic” I love Zach this is a dream duo 😂

[@LeftoverJoints]

NBA really back let’s get it y’all!!!

[@iRacer77]

If you're looking for the Orlando Magic discussion it starts at 1:02:35

[@FeWick]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@EricWeiss_SA]

Easily my favorite pod now. Best conversations for learning. Such an underrated nuance on “injuries” - as Zach state, the type/timing of injuries is the real risk calculation for teams like LAL(LBJ), PHX(KD) & BOS(KP). No sensible person should expect a fully healthy season. You bank on a healthy playoff run.

[@michaelahurt]

You should listen to Thinking Basketball. This is like a 100 level course for learning. TB (and the Dunker Spot) are doctorate level

[@thatfatguy7591]

i used to like jalen and jacoby back when they were just on youtube, but after they got bought out i stopped watching. JJ has the best podcast now.

[@tporcheron]

I think Jokic loves basketball. He does not love living in the USA

[@dvdv8197]

He clearly states he thinks playing basketball is 'his job, like any other job'. That does not particularly prove his love for the game. 😅😉

[@earvinm6429]

@@dvdv8197if he doesn't love the game he wouldn't be the best player in the world. No one would work this hard if he doesn't love the game imo

[@ChunkyLeo01]

I just can't get you out of my head. This feels like the only place to get quality basketball minded content. Love it JJ!

[@veydaantkhanna]

Loving the back2back Legs and Lowe content, JJ! Looking forward to new season w you and your pod

[@rishabhdevchawla3597]

Loved Zach's favorite moment in the NBA being lebrons block - can't imagine how that felt being in the building. What a story

[@Astalavista2608]

Dream podcast duo

[@paulranalli3367]

1:17:56 Zach's exasperated response to his feelings on the clippers just about sums up the whole 5 yrs of PG and Kawhi! classic!

[@BossNoah45]

my 2 favourite analysts on the same pod, and the season starting on the same day? absolute cinema

[@NokieMedia]

Lowe is one of my favorites. Thank you for giving him his well deserved spotlight JJ!

[@smellygochu9173]

JJ at 5AM. My morning is complete

[@dadbodmascot]

Ditto! Haha

[@robshelden4670]

Great take by JJ about Jokić makin everyone better. CB will make that jump this season just based on rotation minutes played w Joker compared to last season. He’s 6th man this year, gettin BB’s minutes from last year, he’s already a better defender, it’s playmaking and ball handling that Christian needs to make improvements. He will, he’s gonna be great, never leaves Joker’s side in the bench, always asking questions last season; he’s ready for this! Go Nuggets

[@Michael-f6y4x]

Let's go nuggets

[@BlindSwami_]

As a cavs faithful, Zach's anecdote about game 7 was magical

[@Zatora11]

30:40 celtics talk. No time stamp is ridiculous.

[@paulhong998]

Thank you JJ for saying we need to temper expectations about OKC. I’m a huge Thunder fan and I’d be so happy if they get into the playoffs. A 4 seed is a LEAP in this western conference.

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

Thank you fans are way to unrealistic with okc not understanding how okc operate they’d till gonna be focusing on developing guys which will probably cost us games I have them anywhere between 6-10 6th being best case scenario the west is very stacked

[@tristanxjason]

@@Wrestle_KingdomI like their process but they need to accelerate it a tad or they will lose SGA

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

@@tristanxjason no they don’t, they’re fine why accelerate when we still don’t know how they all play together and how good they can be y’all act like they’re the Celtics who are contending when okc just made the play in, rushing things would be the worst thing that how you get in situations were you’re stuck like the hawks and Timberwolves Plus y’all do not know shai we don’t know shai motives y’all act like every guy want to win a ring some just want to play ball and make money rings is not every star player first priority

[@tristanxjason]

@@Wrestle_Kingdom I know no fashion model wants to live in OKC.

[@MarioNotBros]

This is exactly what I needed today leading up to the season starting

Zach Lowe is my favorite non hooper hooper personality because he is never disrespectful to the athletes.

[@michaelmeacham6887]

I need more JJ and Zach

[@Idjit420]

Zach one of the all time GOATS! Great pod

[@NY-Vice]

This is a fun retrospective. Zach's prediction of the spurs being 21-19 early in the season is one of my favorites, as they currently don't even have 21 wins for the season 😂

[@Metaphorically7]

Have to agree with Lowe. That Cavs and Warriors game 7 is probably one of my most vivid basketball memories.

[@Nate-hw1nc]

I swear Zach lowe speaks and lives in all caps! 😂 the first time I have heard him not yelling Shesh!😂

Fantastic interview Crazy how much changes in a year

My 2 favs with Lowe arguably the best analyst along with Widhorst and then there is S Smith but he ain’t just an analyst but a star!

This pod is for the true hoop connoisseurs

[@WayneVogel-q1t]

Start segmenting the clips in categories please!

Loved Zach in Archive X as an actor, love him even more as an analyst

[@滋榎本]

Chris Paul is one of the best point guards of all time, but he often breaks down in important situations.

[@dvdv8197]

I've no doubt it'll be a great and fun regular season, but what'll matter will be health come postseason indeed! Fingers crossed. 🙏🙏

[@chrissennfelder7249]

Thanks, Magic.

as a thunder fan i’m not liking how everyone has these unrealistic expectations just cause we got a nice starting 5 we haven’t played with chet yet we haven’t been thru anything but a play in now y’all got us with home court advantage while it is possible let’s just temper the expectations please I don’t want this core to crash

I have a theory that Joker is actually incredibly competitive when it comes to basketball, but he knows it’s a major competitive edge to be like “this is your whole life, i don’t even care and I’m still better than you”.

[@Lfkxl]

8:48 Nahhh lad, the world doesn’t care. Only America cares about NFL. Basketball and NBA is bigger world wide. And as long as LeBron is playing, the world will always look forward to the NBA. Thankfully, there’s also an Alien named Wemby who just entered the league. This might be the most hyped NBA season in a long time
