The Zach Lowe Show
Round 1 Winds Down: Lakers Eliminated, Game 6 Previews, and More With Michael Pina

And I want to see Brunson's general like mobility and the ability of also like whoever he's guarding, if it's Tim Hardaway Jr., if it's a Sar Thompson to really, really capitalize. And I thought both of them have done, it's been up and down, but yeah, They both impress me, I think, generally. So that's what I'm looking for is Jalen Brunson's defense.

And, you know, I, I think Kate is the best player or has been, and maybe is the best player in the series. I don't, I'd have to maybe think about that a little bit harder. But I just... I love Cade. And I love Asar Thompson. And I love his defense. Full court pressure on Jalen Brunson. I think that's made a big difference in this series.

And I think that we're eventually going to have to rename the dunker spot to something after the Thompson twins. Because... They've expanded the diameter or the radius or whatever of wherever the dunker spot is supposed to be on a basketball court. They take off and dunk it from outside the paint. It's just so remarkable.

Yeah, that's a good call. I will also say what's really impressed me about Cade is how comfortable he is going at Mikael Bridges, too. He wants that matchup. The only guy he doesn't want is OG for obvious reasons, but he'll get Kat coming up. He'll get Mikael on switches. He'll wave Mikael's guy over. Yeah. If McHale's on him, he'll wave away a teammate. Tim Hardaway Jr. has Jalen Brunson on him.

He'll wave him away. He's like, actually, no, I like this matchup. So I like the whole team's moxie and the fact that they're doing this without Isaiah Stewart, who's one of the most important players throughout the regular season, is super impressive. And brings a whole lot of moxie. Moxie, yeah. To put it lightly. So, yeah, I...

I have really no feel either for this series, but I would like to see the Pistons win at home and forces at game seven.

No. I appreciate you having me on again. I will say that I got a lot of feedback from the... uh, viewers and listeners about the Nicola Jokic poster, uh, that is over my shoulder. Uh, when I appeared last time, as we were talking about the, uh, the MVP and, uh, Oklahoma city thunder fans didn't really appreciate that.
