We got our first voicemail from a YKB Patreon Head Hog about the Boston Celtics so we riffed on that and gave our thoughts. Then Sam Sheehan and Trill overreact to the first few days of the NBA preseason (record Tuesday night during Zion's return) including Tyrese Maxey's insane first half, Ben Simmons return to basketball vs. the Sixers, Cade Cunningham's slow start vs. the Knicks and then we make fun of some Warriors fans for doing the same exact thing that we do when they get overly excited about their young players. I also made a prediction about which Sixer that I feel like could be on the move very soon. And it is not who you think it is. Finally we predicted the GOAT Zach Lowe's league pass rankings for the 2022 - 2023 NBA season while also sharing our own league pass rankings for this upcoming season. We give our locks for the list, some teams that might pique Zach's interest and the teams that will obviously not be included (like one he calls Voldemort) on his list. In the middle of this episode the two GOATs Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe dropped an episode and we tried to guess some of their talking points during the podcast.
