0:00.0	And now the Low Post.
0:03.0	Welcome to the Low Post Podcast.
0:06.0	It's Friday morning.
0:08.0	A wild NBA week has concluded.
0:10.0	It's time to settle down, take stock of trades and firings and where we go from here.
0:15.8	No one better to do it with than the king of the iPad and one of my co-members in the Jonathan Kominga fan club big week for us Tim Legler
0:26.2	big week for us in the Kominga club. We're two of the final holdouts on the Kominga fan club that's for sure we both agreed on that early and I think we've stuck we've stayed the course with him you know we were patient with him and he's actually had his best stretch as a pro here recently so I'm happy for Jonathan

1:38.9	And I think actually the first red flag for Mezak
