    59:00 confirms so many suspicions about AD the fact that your coach says we’re going to empower you as much as “yourself” wants to be empowered let’s me know why bron hasn’t given up the mantle

  5. @richardmartino7083

    So what JJ redick saying is that every single player who's ever played in the NBA in his spent at least 7 years in the NBA should be a head coach in the league. And of course it had nothing to do with the fact he was handpicked by LeBron James to be his podcast mate had nothing to do with that of course. JJ redick is absolutely delusional. He got his jobs because the fact is that he will do whatever LeBron James tells him to do. Simple as that you deserve absolutely nothing. JJ redick earned absolutely no right to be a head coach in this league.

    Sixers won't even be in the second round of Playoffs… every year the same thing Embiid is gonna get injured. He can play 50 games at max!

  7. @bball977

    The lack of drama from JJ is such a breath of fresh air. No way the past 3 LAL coaches answer the starting lineup with such directness

  11. @trey_baker

    Lakers head coach is former Clipper and Clippers head coach is former Lakers.

    These two teams can’t stay away from each other 🤣

    Players who played for both LA teams:

    Nick Young
    Lou Williams
    Lamar Odom
    Demarcus Cousins
    Montrezl Harrell
    Rondo
    Pat Bev
    Russ Westbrook
    Matt Barnes
    Avery Bradley
    Reggie Bullock
    Caron Butler
    Doug Christie
    Darren Collison
    Jared Dudley
    Ron Harper
    Deandre Jordan
    Bob McAdoo
    Glen Rice
    Lance Stephenson
    Ivica Zubac

    Just to name a few

    Stop this Phill contender stuff, they need to go past 2ed round at least once for this. If the team is a "contender" but not aible to past 2ed round in like what, 6-7 years at this point, it means that this team is not a contender at all.

    The Knicks have our German young big boy Ariel Hukporti on a two way contract. He has played grown up basketball for several years now, last years in the NBL down in Australia. He had very decent stats. And is simply a big body and presence with his 7" frame. Why not throw him in for a few games and see, how he is doing?

    I can still remember all the years where Hartenstein was ignored by teams several times. Still don`t know why, since we cleary now saw with the Knicks, that he is a very good center. Do not make the same mistake with Ariel..!

    As a laker fan this hire is a sick joke an an absolute nightmare. I honestly wont watch another laker game til hes fired

    Kuminga didn't fall on Embiid's knee, it was accidently. They both were going for the ball and Embiid drove to the ground first, Kuminga was still standing there and then Embiid decides to poke the ball away while on the fall unprotected so Kuminga reached for it and landed on top.

  29. @gsimons213

    JJ is a welcome addition to the Lakers. I hope he has a long and successful tenure as coach. Thanks Zach

    As a Sixers fan, it’s amazing to me how many excuses people have for Embiid. It’s always everybody else’s fault but his.

  35. @davidl8620

    Embiid is all excuses so he can stay in Philly. when things don't go his way he starts cheap shotting the other team and the NBA silently looks the other way. no suspension for that playoff series? how many knicks did he need to injur to be kicked out? also never belonged on team USA, they just wanted to show him what winning looks like.

    All NBA Empty Stats Team: PG- Trey Young, SG- Luka, SF- James Harden, PG- Brandon Ingram, C- Joel Embiid

  39. @mollyweir9350

    Zach you talked about Pascal accidentally hitting Embiid in the face in 2022 playoffs vs Raps but forget to talk about Embiid knocked SB out for essentially all of that series in the 1st gm when he stepped on his ankle, causing him to missed 2 straight gms & come back limited in gm 4. Additionally, you failed to mention Sixers was up 3-0 & half of Raps key players were out or injured. There is no way that Sixers should be in a gm 6 w/ Raps up 22 late in 3Q & Embiid still in the gm. Doc & his staff were not confident about the lead & did not want to go back to Philly for a gm 7. Tobias himself said that he was happy they won.
