Zach: Robin couldn't fight crime by himself. Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin: *exist*

Zach Lowe vs Nightwing stans

OG played so well this series

RAPS FANS BEEN TELLING YALL ABOUT OG FOR YEARS. HE'S THAT DUDE

OG returns to Indiana to win series for Knicks. Let’s go Knicks.

Pitching PG with "Your guy is hurt a lot" is the last thing the Sixers can afford to do, because if I'm PG if I'm hitching my wagon to someone who's injured a lot I'd rather pick the 2x finals MVP and living in California where I'm from over Embiid and Philly.

Riley never took the Butler window seriously; it was always a bridge to the next thing. Bam is incredible and now it’s time to get real. What that means for my Heat, I don’t know, but I’m excited.

Heat can't run it back. They don't have enough and Butler is old.

love mares with lowe

The story of the playoffs for me has been that the old guard has been dramatically outdone by the new guard this postseason! Bron, Steph, KD, Kawhi, PG13, Dame and even Joel and Giannis are done. AntMan, Luka, SGA, Brunson, and Banchero and Hali are on the come up! Meanwhile, is Joker and Jamal’s world. Then, Wemby in about 5 years got next! ❤

Miami happy Dame didn't even make it passed the 1st round 😂

Great analysis outstanding report.

I see the disrepect is still in effect with the Wolves. I said Wolves in 6 over Suns. Wolves in 6 over Nuggets. Wolves in 6 over Mavs. Wolves in 7 over Celts.

😮‍💨😅 It’s been a while since I’ve watched the Lowe Post. Zach is feelin’ saucy.

That Butler timeline for the Heat is over, now the timeline is focused on Adebayo's prime.

1:06:25 I think the problem was how he handled his rotations and starting line ups… He had a stretch where he was starting Reddish and Prince , while sitting DLo and AR… He underplayed Rui… When the season was supposed to be about running it back, he chose to play players that aren’t starters… So did he get blamed for losing to the Nuggets??? No but he does get blamed for a 3-10 stretch when he was fumbling his rotations …

That's why KNICKS don't get tired. Played a lot of minutes all season. All player's stamina is impeccable

Sixers should spare no expense finding a big who can start at least 10 games that Embiid is sure to miss and give quality minutes. Good luck with that though.

You can tell who's never read a comic... there's been at least 5 Robins.. 4 have left n became successful hero's... the current Robin is his son n probably the most violent one.

One thing I know about Masai he drafts well.

I DID tell you in 2019 that Clips would not win a ring, and for the exact reason they haven't. I NEVER believed for 5 seconds that they could successfully navigate 4 playoff series and stay healthy. Howard, you couldn't foresee Kawhi's annual injury story? EVERY single "they could win a ring" projection I ever saw for this team was followed by, "if they stay healthy." There you go. This was the CLOSEST they ever came to it too...and it wasn't close. Why is this shocking based on those two's injury histories? Not surprised AT ALL. I'm a casual fan and saw this coming. I'm just surprised they kept it going 5 years.

When he was on Grant land I read every article. He's the best basketball writer I've ever read.

Don't sleep on Payton Watson guarding Ant some in this series.

The funniest part of the Kwaih bs. Is it's never mattered how they "manage" him. You play him early, he'll flame out. Hold him until late, he still misses.

Despite his complete lack of comic book understanding, Zach is 💯 right. The Batman and Robin metaphor is played out. How about we call Denver the entire Justice League

Great discussion on the intriguing Wolves -Nuggets series... The length of the Wolves was suffocating against the Suns... If the Wolves can get the Nuggets to be predominantly perimeter oriented and significantly curtail their paint production....the Wolves will have their chance.... The last regular season game will come back to bite the Wolves.... Home court will be the difference here.... Nuggets in 6 or 7

Embiid needs to live in a hyperbaric chamber wrapped in tissue.

8:20 wouldn’t a 0 point scoring differential would be closer than 1?

Nightwing, ya heard? Dammit, Lowe.

If Knicks are able to ship Randle + pick assets for Markkanen OR to land Mikal by (nearly) any means - this is a legit threat to everybody.

🗣️KEEP JIMMY AN EVERYONE ELSE YUP FOR SELL!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The lowest differential would be 0 right?

A team that is dependent on Orebs is not a championship level team. An pacers transition is offense will limit the any impact on that area for Knicks.

Knick v Pacers lore last title for both teams 1973.

0 is actually the lowest points differential given it’s multiple games

Send Butler to the Pacers and they become a legit East threat to form Naliburton + Siakam + Butler? thats a legit big 3

Butler and Dame are done. Third option guys.

0 points is the lowest possible margin

Imagine how different things may have looked for at least two teams had the Sixers, knowing Embiid's value may never be higher after named MVP,dealt him to Portland for the pick they used on Scoot, more picks and young players to pair with Maxey? I suggested that to my brother twice in the off-season. Pretty sure Dame would've stayed for a chance to team up with Embiid.

Zach Lowe is trolling about Nightwing..he knows who Nightwing is...

I hope OG 's body is not broken down in the next 2 yrs b/c the amount of mins he is longing since he got traded from Raps is not sustainable for a guy with injury history.

Zero would be the closest margin. Its a series NOT one game. Derp.

Love Zach Lowe but he is always so understanding to Embiid while he hates Harden's playoff play with the exact same issues and resume.

You could lose a game by 20 win 4 games by 1 point each and win a series 16 points down...

Most other team's get tired last stretch of the games. LEGGOOO KNICKS pacers series going to be tough. Knicks win tough series

Wally only made one all star appearance himself,not that he wasn't a good player,lol. Hersey Hawkins was once an all star too,so...

🔥🔥🔥Wolves Nuggets🔥🔥🔥

really strange juxtoposition whem lowe goes on a rant about how the lakers losing a close series is a silly idea that they would be close and that just cause they got a game it doesn't mean anything which is largely true then immediately says to "watch the games" about the twolves losing in 5 in a close series with denver last year just strange

Miami's not gonna get rid of Jimmy

Embiid is done. The knee problem is a real deal breaker! Never can fully recover. If embiid isn't 100% why you keep him !?

Please get this man a better mic 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👍

Philly has absolutely nothing to offer for Jimmy Butler. Not saying Butler would command what a young star would in a trade, but there is nothing appealing for Miami from Philly in a potential deal there.

😂💡 I have an idea, 76ers should trade for Ben Simmons.

Oh god, it's painful listening to people not familiar with the Knicks. The spacing problems the Knicks had were eliminated when the Knicks traded RJ. RJ and Randle were too similar of a player. Once the OG trade went down, both Randle and RJ had court open up to them. Research it, mates. Don't just talk from an uninformed position.

This Robin slander will not be tolerated

Knicks in 4 against Indiana BTW

Knicks wouldn't be getting this from Brunson if Randle was healthy - Instead they'd have two dudes making each other better and more efficient instead of one dude having to do it all, efficiency be damned. Knicks are, without question, a better team with 3x All-star 2x All-NBA Julius Randle on the floor.

We don't need Jimmy butler we need young athlete players to help open up the floor how Stars does NEW YORK have.

James stats r absolutely insane and if I was the lakers I would have no problem giving 3 years guaranteed to him at the max. I think he gonna put lebron numbers up for at least the next 2 seasons.

Miami should trade Jimmy Butler for Brandon Ingram and Larry Nance Jr then see if the Bucks would do Lillard a favor and trade him to Miami for Herro and Rozier.

Embiid to OKC ... Shay, Chet, and Embiid?

Donovan Mitchell? We still think hes good enough to trade for when we know he is a chemistry killer and a ballhog scorer and nothing else?

WADD UP BECK

As a Celtics fan (watching this with fascination), I'll say this: yes, Embiid is a baby. No, I'm NEVER afraid of him. Yes, he's always out of shape for some reason come playoff time (good reasons and bad). That said, only Philly fans (and some national media) would put this on him. The simple, basic fact is the rest of the Sixers roster is nowhere NEAR good enough (nor has it been the past several years) to talk about "losing too early" in the playoffs. They pretty much lose to better teams.That's it. It's simple: WAY too much is being put on Embiid and Maxey. Twosomes don't win championships by themselves (they never did, we just romanticize they did) without good supporting casts (Bulls fans--how good were they when MJ came back but they didn't have Grant or Rodman?) Sure, no other team is gonna be able to be as deep as the Celtics right now...but...who is the Sixers third best player? Fourth? Whoever they are (you're not even sure), they don't come CLOSE to matching OKC, Denver, Orlando, LAC, Milwaukee, Indy, much less Boston. So yes, I love dumping on Fat Baby 'Biid as much as anyone, but honestly, the expectations of him here are delusional. Get a third banana or rinse & repeat.

Can we stop anointing guys superstars. Im a sixers fan and maxey is not a superstar. There's Allstars, Stars, and superstars. And then a reserve spot for a Megastar. Heres the breakdown. Allstar- Maxey Star-Trae Young/ Kyrie Superstar-Luka, Joker, Giannis, Steph Megastar- LEBRON. WE HAVE TO SPOT THROWING THESE TERMS AROUND. SO ANNOYING

Having close games and a close series is an indictment on Embiid. It just shows he's not clutch. You can give the never ending injury excuse despite playing 20 games straight and 40 mins a game. Either he's on opium meth steroids concoction to become the healthiest injured player in NBA history or he oversells his injury for 11 years straight with 11 years of excuses to not beat anyone in the playoffs.

Love the podcast Zach but how about not mentioning Ben Simmons every 2nd podcast. Sure he passed up a dunk but they still scored point on that play to make it 88-87 with 3min 29 to go. Embiid got stripped by noted defender Gallinari lol with 43s to go when down 4. That was game over. How come you don't mention that play? Keep up the great pods and give Ben a break

Im ok with heat moving on from Jimmy. He gave us some good runs tho and maybe retire his jersey

All year, Zach's discussion of the Wolves has been some of his most similar to casuals. Not good.

Not only should Jimmy want all the money, he has to remember how Dirty Pat did DWade dirty, and lean into negotiations even more. I'm pulling for HIM. And I CAN'T WAIT to see that team without Jimmy. Spo could figure out how to BEND PHYSICS, and I'd be 1000% unafraid. Celtic Nation watches with morbid fascination....

76ers weren't going to win anyways. Once Embiid went down, it was a sure thing. So why he came back. Idk.. Because there's no way there was enough time. With him being that size and with all he has to do. Those are time's you have to have a 3rd Star. Also a solid backup C. They don't have either one. They could use a couple different/better role player's.. They've been handicapped ♿ by the Tobias Contract for year's.. Ben Simmons bs.. He's never been healthy. If I was him as much as it hurts. I'd stayed my azz at home the rest of the season. Came back hella strong next season. Or been on a serious minutes restriction.. No point on injuring yourself further for the rest of your life.

@ZachLowe aging the wrong way 🤦🏿‍♂️😆

Brunson was baiting for fouls as well especially last njght late in the 4Q & I am not an Embiid or Sixers fan. Zach you need to be more objective.

oh c'mon toppin can't play d period. Period. His softness is not missed at all.

Listening to these guys talk so uninformed about DC superheroes is amazing 😂 can't even be mad

No one outside of Miami cares. Enjoy Cancun 🤣😅

LeBron got another coach fired.

We get Embiid is awesome, and injured, and has faced adversity. But he has never OVERCOMED the advsersity. Thats why he doesnt belong in thesame sentence as Jokic or Giannis or even Kawhi who have OVERCOMED adversity twice over than Embiid has. Just please stop the Embiid is better than Jokic when healthy because it makes people hate him more and hate the people at ESPN saying these stuff.

How many coaches got fired under LeBron‘s watch? Weird that this phenomena didn’t happen with Kobe, Jordan, Steph, Duncan, D Wade

Jimmy ain’t goin anywhere lol

I think Dame never drives the basketball, can't defend. Portland played around him. He liked it there and he's a like a girl on his period when he doesn't get his way. 😂

ZACH? STOP . AT Raps not sell low . Masai is no fool. We got 2 upside players & 2RP for OG -UFA & 3 FRP, Bruce Brown* &traded 1 of those pick ( 29) to Utah for Olynk + Ochai. None of these 2 teams will win chip & both players will be getting max which will not age well I the next 2 yrs. I can't stand U.S media.

LeBron and Lakers talk is so toxic. Coach Ham was not scapegoated. He sucks. If you want to say something about Pelinka said it. If you want to say somehting about LeBron said it. Bad coach that shouldve never been hired did a mediocre to bad job and after two years hes gone. Whats the big deal with that? "I didnt like how The Athletic reported this" what the f that even means?

The Lakers crush any team in the west other than denver. They would uave 4-1 the Thunder. Stop it lowe

3 Way trade, Jimmy Butler to 76ers, 76ers send 2 future firsts and a future 2nd to the Orlando Magic, Magic send Markelle Fultz, Jonathan Isaac, and Franz Wagner to Miami Heat. Done, Done, and Done lol

Only boomers say twitter

Stop making Tom Thibodeau impressions. You're not funny.

Philly need mikal Bridges
