In this chapter, the speakers debate the top seven spots for the play-in tournament in the upcoming NBA season, with predictions for teams like Boston, Milwaukee, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, and the Hawks. They also discuss the possibility of the Knicks, Heat, and Sixers falling short of expectations, leaving three spots available for five teams to fight for.
Zach brings in old friends Shea Serrano and Jason Concepcion to talk about their new podcast Six Trophies and preview the NBA season in their own way. Then ESPN's Bobby Marks makes rapid-fire predictions on contract extensions for the 2020 draft class and Kevin Clark previews the Orlando Magic and the East play-in race.
