| 0:00.0 | All right, coming up after this on the Zach Lowe show, we start with the great Tim Legler, the king of the iPad from ESPN. |
| 0:13.2 | We're going to talk about the Pistons, the Spurs, playoff experience, and the Spurs having won 10 straight games. |
| 0:20.3 | How does all this factor into the MVP conversation? It's getting kind of murky. We got Yokic, SGA, Wembe, Luca, all on the verge of being ineligible. Is it Kate Cunningham's year? Do the Pistons have enough offense? Tim just saw them against the Thunder last night. They have enough offense and shooting to really make the finals and give it a real run. We both kind of think that they do and we tell you why. And the Spurs, can they win the whole damn thing right now where we pick them over the Thunder and trying to talk about Victor Wembe Nama? And then Tim and I do James Hardin to the Cavs. How is that looking so far? A little Cavs' Knicks reaction from earlier in the week. I thought there was a huge win for Cleveland. And then a segment unsponsored. Sponsors, if you're listening, we're ready for a sponsor. Zach and guests say one nice thing about a tanking team. I went Memphis Grizzlies this time. Memphis fans, someone still watching your games. And Tim, you won't even believe what he picked when you hear it. And then a special guest, Dwayne Wade, the Dwayne Wade from the Miami Heat all those years. Amazon Prime, my teammate now. We tell a lot of good stories from the old days, or he does anyway, about LeBron, the heatles, the whole thing. We talk about his career now, being on TV, the 06 finals. |
| 1:29.3 | That team partied a lot, apparently, all coming up after this on a nice edition of the Zach Lowe |
| 1:34.0 | Show. |

| 2:18.3 | Welcome to the Zach Lowe Show with the great Tim Legler of ESPN who called Detroit, Oklahoma City last night in Detroit. |
| 2:23.5 | The Pistons outdull a scrappy, undermanned Oklahoma City team will hung around and hung around, and Big J. Will had the best game of his career scoring-wise. |
| 2:27.2 | But the Pistons win and the Spurs win again in Toronto. |
| 2:31.6 | And that race for the number one seat in the West and the number one overall |
| 2:34.8 | seat gets tighter. Mr. Legler, the best in the business. How are you? Zach, what's up, man? |
| 2:40.2 | What's up? Hey, listen, we had a pretty good game last night. Considering OKC had so many guys |
| 2:45.3 | out, their top four scorers didn't play. And yet, here they are. In the game, late, three minutes to go, |
| 2:52.7 | it's still winnable against the Detroit Pistons in Detroit, who had everybody. So you never |
| 2:57.9 | know in this league. But the one thing that I can tell you about what you learned last night, |
