And now the low welcome to the low post podcast on a Friday morning where boy oh boy do I get

excited when I see this lady's face across from me virtually and in person and now the

world gets to see her face because they made me do YouTube podcast. So here we are live

on YouTube apparently the Hall of Famer the one and only Doris Burke how are you?

superb superb what do we 13 14 games in for some teams it's been a good start as usual

Zach there's there's some things going on in the standing set we're all like is this real

is it not real is it going to you know find its own level at some point so I'm so good.

We're 13 14 games and by my unofficial count 72 NBA scandals into then into the 2022

2023 season we're going to talk about basketball today and I don't know if you if you saw

this but one of our former colleagues Chris Haynes dropped a piece yesterday about some

notion that the Lakers when LeBron signed his extension which is really only a one year

extension people acted like what a long term commitment and he made his one year sort

of implied to him we will go all in to put a championship content around you every season

and flash forward it's 11 games in there two and nine they stink rust off the bench rust

into starting lineup rust selling popcorn it doesn't matter they're just not good and

now there's this pressure building up are we just really going to sit here and waste

a year of LeBron James and we have these two first round picks we can trade we have

this disaster that's unfolding in Brooklyn although the nets have looked spirited in our

winning games since Kyrie was suspended are we really just going to sit on our hands here

and DB I think one of the reasons that that noise is not going to go away is you look

at the Western conference on top are the Utah Jazz no one expected that Portland no

one expected that Phoenix okay no one's really the big teams are not that scared of Phoenix
