Please play, Lowry. Your injury is not that bad. Your suffocating defence and your efficient shooting is needed and will continue to cause sleepless nights for Doc and his team of analytic brainiacs. Spoelstra: are you reading this?

to be fair he didn't play well at all thus far, but if he can hit 3s he's still a dangerous player. as sixers fans we should know that his shameless flopping antics can change the tide of any game

both teams flop like fishes . so ..

He's old and is playing injured. It's not some mystery as to why he hasn't been playing well.

A Harden fan talking about flopping...please

Harden flops no doubt. I hate watching him play a lot of times. I wish he flopped less because he can be a productive player without it and I don't think he should rely on getting the calls when we would be better off with him focusing on distributing or taking open looks. I just think Lowry's offensive game whenever I watch him play is remarkably limited outside of hitting 3s or flopping like a fish, which is particularly frustrating to watch.


I don't think you've watched him play a lot to be honest. You have a very narrow view of how Lowry's career has gone. Miami didn't give him that money cause he hits the occasional 3 and flopping. Only your take is occasional here.

Doesn’t matter. Flopbiid isn’t carrying that team anywhere. Even if they somehow get by Miami, they’re going to get crushed by the Celtics or Bucks.

Enjoy 5 more years of paying the max to a declining Harden. “Trust the process”

A bit weird to be speaking so definitively when we are 2-2 in the second round. I hope Pascal is enjoying his couch.


Unlike you, I actually watch games so not hard to be definitive.

Wonder if poor Joel is going to cry again if he loses this year. I hope the fans in Miami aren’t too mean to him like those scary Raptor fans who called him names. Poor guy.

It was a questionable signing at best. 30 mil a year for 35/36 year old player who is under 6’1 is questionable. That’s not even counting his playoff reputation. I can understand the gamble on Chris Paul but Lowry is not in the same level. All season I was told wait for playoff Lowry, well the playoffs are here and thanks to his injury he is living up to that reputation.

uh yeah, well he's injured so thats a valid reason why we can't see him be "playoff lowry".

And Embiid elbowing Birch in the head, hitting Scottie in the face and injuring his ankle are all sabotage, or is that just the type of **** that happens in a physical game...

most of it was physical play. even Pascal's elbow was probably unintentional and just physical play. however the low-life Raps fans who were celebrating his injury and were parading the streets when we went down 2 games are gonna have to simmer down now. you guys must be sweating bullets over there

Why would I be sweating? I'm fine with where my team is. How the 76ers do will have little affect on my enjoyment of the NBA.

Its simple. Lowrys in his final seasons and he's also injured. Not much to it.

This is unfortunately playoff Lowry. He’s extremely inconsistent. However, I believe he’s got another couple of gears. The Heat better hope he does because with Embiid back they are going to need him.

Raptors fans are easily triggered. His post probably got the reaction he was looking for. Besides, no one can be serious about complaining about anyone’s flopping while being a fan of Embiid or Harden.


Anyhow, Lowry’s peak was the year after Kawhi. The Boston series in the bubble he almost carried us to a series win where we were less than a second from being down 0-3. Then last year he started show his age. He had one great game against the Lakers but mostly looked old. Probably why Raps fans were OK with him going elsewhere. Heat fans are not going to enjoy the signing unless they win a chip. That contract along with losing Achiuwa may haunt them.

The guy is old and injured. What did you expect? What is there to discuss?

Kyle Lowrey looks washed. It’s a good thing he’s in the final year of his contract.

I respect what he is trying to do. He’s trying to be there for his team. Harden did the same thing with Durant. Lowry was a Nets killer not long ago when healthy, so he’s not washed. Sucks that people call a player washed that’s struggling due to an injury. People did the same to CP3 and look how far he has come since then. It’s too easy to forget there’s a person under the uniform, and that uniform often changes brand names.

Meanwhile, Gabe Vincent is playing well. Seems pretty simple to me. Kyle sits out this post-season. The Heat can run with Butler/VIncent/Dipo/Herro. That is more than enough at the guard position.

Nah. Heat need Lowry if they want to get past Bucks/Celtics to Eastern final.
