All right, coming up on the Zach Lowe show right after this, it's 2026.

Happy New Year, everybody.

We got a lot to talk about.

We got Adam Morris from DNVR Sports and the All-City podcast with our guy, Tim Legler.

He's a Nuggets expert.

A lot of stuff going on with the Nuggets.

A lot of people are hurt.

How do they survive without Yokic? Where are they going to be in the standings when he comes back? What do we think of the 65 game rule? What if he doesn't make it? What does that do to the MVP race? All NBA? All that stuff. We're going to talk about that. We hit tanking again in the jazz situation. All-Star, is LeBron not going to make the All-Star team? And then Mo Tequila and I bounce around everything else going on in the NBA. The Palo Bancaro issue. Wembe suffering what we hope is a tiny little injury and how he's fitting in the Spurs offense that was whirring around those guards while he was out and coming off the bench. The state of the east, is anyone afraid of the Knicks? Should they be? Are the Cavs back? What's going on with Paolo Bancaro and the Magic? Boston, Toronto, Philly. We talk trade stuff. What's going out with Trey? Anthony Davis. We get into everything that's going around the NBA with Mo DeKeele. That's all coming up on The Zach Lowe Show.

Hope you guys enjoy it.

Welcome to the Zach Lowe Show.

Happy 2026.

The New Year is here. We're almost at mid-season. And there's a lot going on,

specifically with the Denver Nuggets, Adam Morris, DNVR Sports, All-City Podcasts with Tim Legler.

You are the guy I go to for all things, Nuggets. How are you? How did you ring in the new year?

Well, ring it in, I would say uneventfully, just kind of hanging out at the house, which is the way I prefer it. That way when it's over, you just walk right upstairs and go to bed. But no, I'm enjoying the NBA season. I'm excited to be on here. I feel like it's been a very entertaining one. And I'm kind of curious if you feel the same way.

I just think there's a lot of good players, a lot of good teams,

and I don't always feel this way on January 1st.

It definitely got like 75% more entertaining when the Spurs

whipped the Thunder three times in a row.

It was like, oh, okay.

So the Thunder bleed blood and the Spurs might be here already. What's going on? Like, the West is this good? And there's been some Cleveland stuff. Philly's getting healthy. There's a lot of stuff going on. You're right. It's fun. But I rang in the new year, well, pre-new-new-year

at the, I'm not calling it to Scotia Bank Center. Screw you, Scotia Bank. I don't care.
