I don't buy that Lowe shows any love towards the Magic. The few times that I've heard him talk about the Magic, it seems like a chore that he has to do. Simmons is the only one that gives the Magic respect. I think that stems from the Magic beating the Celtics in b2b games last season and winning the last 4-6 against the Celtics.

I listen to Lowe religiously. I think it's the best pod I've found and he's a fan of what's shaking down here. He hasn't said much about the playoff series, but he's supportive of ORL all season. Honestly, it seems like his pods have dropped on the wrong days for us lately..so he tends to go with the freshest results. I listen to Windhorst every time as well, but he's such a know-nothing blowhard...he has lots of good guests, including his two regulars, Bontemps & McMahon, who are always funny and insightful. I want to smack Windhorst for his constant speaking over everyone and shutting them down mid-sentence...It's HIS show, but I don't think he personally brings much insight.

Lowe did talk about the Magic today with Bobby Marks and constantly talks about them.

Simmons is the one who would begrudgingly talk about the Magic until Ceruti was on the show and he started to like our defense because we always beat the Celtics.

I listen to those as well. My absolute favorite national pod is No Dunks. They do the best job covering us from a national perspective as well.

I’m debating gouging my eyes out having to watch Miami and whatever this excuse for basketball is I’m seeing in New Orleans.

I always get the vibe it's part of his job, which is why he talks about the Magic. I disagree that he has any interest.

Vecenie seems like a legit fan now. He had Suggs #2 in that draft, and he follows him. He breaks down a bunch of possessions against the Cavs.

Zach Lowe literally had a "love letter to the Orlando Magic" segment on ESPN and has written multiple articles on us over the years that no other ESPN person was touching. Not sure the "vibe" you're getting but it's just off.

He was one of the few people also bringing up Isaac's defense on ESPN as well.

It seems fake to me. He promotes every team at some point.
