Woo-hoo~! Lowe Post on a Friday afternoon in LA!
This Might Be A Random Question But Uh Is Pau Gasol Better Than Chris Bosh?
Very unrealistic to expect Embiid to come back and run through the playoffs despite him playing solid on his return
We all know the answer is 2nd round 😂
If people pick okc over lakers in a playoff series it’s with their heart not with their head it’s crazy people still sleep on bron and ad

Regarding Embiid
Allen Iverson was overworked early and had a bad second half of his career, today we know on behalf of the Sixers. Iguadala, Lue Williams, Jrue Holiday all gone with that in mind. Into Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid and one can say Simmons health-situation was underestimated and with the workload Joel is playing noone should be surprised we are seeing the ever returning Sixers eat their children as always.It's not fair to park all the wrong on the player when the franchise is notoriously treading their players like raw material and "the team" like dominos and it's not working.
you guys should be fired
Suns can beat Denver ion know wat Lowe talm bout
I hate the idea of the one seed picking their matchup. Home court is enough of an advantage. Why do they need more? One seeds usually have the most injury lick anyway. If they really are a deserving one seed they shouldn’t be worried about their matchup. It sounds like a recipe for more boring first round sweeps. Who wants that?? If a one seed loses to an eighth seed too bad. It’s a seven game series the best team wins. How it is now is way better. Did ya’ll not like the Heat’s run last year??
How dangerous can the Lakers be? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Pacers would be 10th in the west
*Embiid beats on lottery teams at home and stat pads. Zach Lowe: "OMG Embiid is the GOAT. He is better than Jordan IF HEALTHY"
*Embiid stinks in the playoffs for 7 years straight. Zach Lowe: "Its not possible that Embiid isn't good. He is injured and you can't say anything about it. He is still better than Jordan IF HEALTHY".
Embiid has turned into a religion for the mainstream media and its totally mind boggling how none of it makes sense.
Same as usual … Not that far. Farther than they belong.
🏁🏁🏁
Again the terrible Lakers takes lmao. Every sane person knows you pick the teams like the Suns or Lakers against Wolves or Thunder in the postseason, no matter how good they've been. Zach sounds like those guys from home who believe in teams like Memphis and Sac last year, Utah with Mitchell and Gober, Cleveland or Magic this year, etc etc etc. It's like he forgets how things in the playoffs work
If Tatum doesn't make 1st team All NBA I'm boycotting ESPN forever
I’m sorry. Does anyone actually enjoy these dudes talk?
Man side is SO long winded. We don’t need to know every detail of you story brah 😂
They can go to the "Show Club" and then back to the arena like always.
(Not a long trip)

As far as I know and actually remember, this Celtic vs Sixers rivalry goes back to the 1950's btw Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell … Some Era's were dominated by Celtics and some by Sixers.. The tide will be changing … Maybe this year from the inconsistencies of Tatum & J Brown… Go SIXERS!
LOWE never knows what he is talking about ! Embiid is only ramping up into game play .. At @ 70% he is a factor or impact for the Sixers . As well as N Nurse's coaching strategies … Embiid is a space creator offensively and opens up and assists the other teamates @ him ( Maxey , Oubre , Harris, Hield, etc.. ) for scoring. He makes their defense better as well.. Some of you trolls need to stop the Embiid Hating . You don't understand what this player was doing before he got injured as a MVP player. You need to watch the game to see it from a tactical view!
Ask Kevin Pelton about that D+ grade for the Mavs trades
Randle's playoff performance has been ridiculously blown out of proportion and I really wish the sports media looked at the context before labelling Randle as this playoff burst. Last year he played on an ankle that needed surgery. In hindsight, he probably should've have came back until the Miami series. His first playoff appearance was with a team that had a starting lineup of him, a young Barret, Bullock, Noel, and Payton. Who are you beating in a 7-game series with that squad? All the Hawks needed to do was throw double/triple teams at Randle and that's exactly what they did. The context manners.
OMG THE KD DISRESPECT
Sixers are going to win everything if they get that 7 spot ….depending on health
After a third awful loss in a row I'm not sure Milwaukee could beat the Sixers if that team has their stuff in order. You can say Dame missed 2 and Giannis this last one but having one of those guys should be enough to win those games, and losing all three is especially crazy. I know this was recorded before the Tornoto loss so not blaming them for thinking differently, but the context has changed after failing yet again.
dude on the right has the personality of a cantaloupe
