Joel Embiid's 23-point game leads 76ers to win vs. Heat, Trae Young to Lakers? | NBA | THE HERD

The Philadelphia 76ers narrowly beat the Miami Heat 105-104 to advance to the playoffs for a battle with the New York Knicks. Joel Embiid struggled during the first three quarters but finished with 23 points (11 in the fourth quarter) and 15 rebounds. Colin Cowherd breaks down Philly's Play-In win. The Atlanta Hawks came up short against the Chicago Bulls with a 131-116 loss. Dejounte Murray finished with 30 points, while Trae Young had 22. Young has been in various rumors across the basketball world, primarily leaving Atlanta for the Los Angeles Lakers. Colin doubles down on this, explaining why Ice Trae will fit in L.A.

Embiid looked spent in the second quarter, invisible in the third, finally caught a second wind and shined. Two months off, you can’t expect his conditioning to be there, but his skills are.

[@kylecarr1423]

Exactly dude made one drive in the first and was exhausted doing so. He’s acting hurt so he can get rest, that’s how he plays

[@RawxIsxJericho1234]

[INSERT STAR PLAYER] to the Lakers? the media is an embarrassment

[@JustinSimperlake]

4th quarter yelling THATS WHY BATUM IN!

[@mattmmixes]

Butler injury or not getting packed up by Batum is insane

[@andrephillips7764]

Jordan didn’t play only 6 years

[@filthmiester]

@@timothyjozeftattoo1541Ok

[@brandonlira602]

Bulls Hawks segment is about the lakers ofc

[@RedHoodFH]

Are we shocked 😂

[@dskwared2u610]

I genuinely think Colin does not watch the games. He just looks at the stats. This was more of a team 4th quarter win for the 6ers than an Embiid win. Do you think he knows who Batum is?

[@chafrey8532]

Yea I’m a sixers and embiid fan but it’s pretty crazy this dude clearly didn’t watch this game.

[@ye6973]

Completely ignoring the Butler injury, Rozier’s absence and Bam’s early foul trouble. But sure Miami is to the Sixers what the Lakers are to the Nuggets.…

[@jamesveney9078]

What happened to the Heat April the 4th they had all their players then!! That was like a playoff game as well !!!😂😂😂

[@shabazz360]

@@jamesveney9078what about Embiid’s injury. Melton not playing, if Bam want to stay out of foul trouble he should stop fouling. You win some you lose some. That’s how this works son.

[@dedios03]

​@jamesveney9078 yeah just casually didn't mention that 😂😂😂

[@tayhollins8666]

You can tell he don't watch the games😂😂😂😂

[@Other_Robots]

Denver and the lakers play a lot of close games but who got swept last year? To say lakers are anywhere near the nuggets is laughable, the California bias is on full display 😂

[@ryannelson2653]

Only imagine how good the lakers would be if they got Trae Young, Bradley Beal and Giannis to just sign the league minimum. Is there a star player Uncle Colin doesn’t think should go to the lakers?

[@cameroonbreezygoat903]

You forgot Jokic and Luka. They’re all going to the Lakers

[@1RobertSmith]

Hawks had alot of home games in that stretch where Trae was out compared to when he was in. Hunter was hurt alot in those games when Trae played so the loses were more. Murray dont get assists in the last 3 or 4 mins of a game. Its all hero ball he doesnt involve teammates

[@njjohnson8159]

Colin thinks the NBA world revolves around the Lakers and Warriors. Like if another team might need to dump a star, the California teams are entitled to him.

[@bujarbejta9064]

Lakers need perimeter defense

[@humaamsaid3282]

Colin has turned to a Philly sports fan. Your Paul Reed jersey is waiting 🙌🏽

Bball Paul baby, get that man a jersey. Here they come!

[@Dimesprodz]

La shouldn’t trade for Trae

[@bhrandomvids]

Definitely didn’t watch the game 😂😭😭

[@leoquest1975]

Does Collin work for the Lakers? He’s always saying the Lakers should get top players, as if the other teams can’t afford to get him.

[@ToneDesh]

Jamal Murray was the ‘Laker Killer’ in that series last playoffs.

[@gatsby456]

Embid had 23 points. Left wide open for 2 3’s down the stretch. How did that happen? Poor take. Should have how riled players are needed to win when the stars don’t have it.

[@MalikF15]

I’m sorry, but I’m not sold on young to LA. He needs the ball in his hands and he’s undersized and can get exposed on defense.

[@PeterDahu]

Bulls vs Hawks... Let's talk about the Lakers!!!

[@dreadhead1749]

Victor is already the best defensive player in nba

[@Chero_edits]

Colin really said Lou Alcindor

[@clutchspace4217]

I doubt Embid will ever win a title , he’ll never stay healthy through a playoff run because teams play more physical than the regular season

[@ye6973]

Guy wins one play in game at home vs a hobbled Heat team and Colin heaps praise lol

[@joystickjourneyman]

​@ye6973 if the heat won you guys wouldn't be saying they beat an injured embiid. We don't need embiid to drop 35 anymore to win yall don't understand how good this team is around embiid. We need embiid to play but we don't need him to win it by himself anymore

[@kiadenyne]

@@joystickjourneyman # FACTS…. it seems like people forget the fact that hadn’t Jojo not been injured. The Sixers wouldn’t have been in the play-in game anyway ,they would’ve easily been a number two or a 3 seed, it’s amazing how that fact gets lost in translation.

[@nevadapoole6180]

I love how everyone is always like oh this player to LA like y'all they have no capital you can't just go get someone because you want them they don't have what they'd need to get him clown 😊

[@EthanLee-fu8ot]

Philly Miami game take seems to be overly simplified. Batum stepped and saved Philly.

[@speedybug1377]

Lebron and kyrie worked so young shouldn’t be a problem

[@monopolimanufacturing]

def need that young james davis firm

[@brandenrobinson4714]

Wemby is the best defensive player in the league, not AD

[@Brasi7]

Dejaunte 27 & 11 …. Guess we will see

[@IfBayless]

I mean Batum saved us ? Not so much Embiid and Maxey.

[@IGotSoHL]

Why would they trade for Trae

[@jar_wrld]

Lakers don’t have nothing for hawks

[@czykrepublic4323]

Embiid never seems like an MVP caliber player in the playoffs. They would have lost had Batum not gone off.

[@kiadenyne]

This is why you have depth. Or should one person be the only one scoring all the points? I still thought basketball was a TEAM GAME

[@JCPRuckus]

Robert Horry won championships for multiple Hall of Famers by just hitting wide open 3s late in playoff games. Role players alway win you a few games in every deep playoff run. The difference is that the same guy only does it once or twice over the run instead being expected to drop gems nearly every night like the Superstars. Looking forward to the Kelly Oubre game already... Lol

[@czykrepublic4323]

Yeah, no doubt it take a team and role players play crucial roles. I'm just saying that for being the league MVP last year, Embiid doesn't have many signature games in the playoffs where he has dominated.

[@thelonesilencer]

Yet another blind asinine take. Let us ignore the fact that refs have influenced many series showing how fixed the league is.

[@bucsfan811]

And what does LA have to offer?

[@citrustron4474]

Is Trae that much better than Dlo though? He’s a worse defender and a worse shooter, but just because he scores more (on worse efficiency) and is a better passer, the Lakers would then suddenly be able to beat the nuggets? I don’t think so and I wouldn’t make that move at all if I’m the Lakers

[@snuggie6997]

Did anyone watch that game and think both these teams are losing in round one lol?

[@CornVidds13]

Nicolas batum won this game .. anyone saying different .. watched the game with the “power off”

[@joystickjourneyman]

Batum had epic plays but I mean everyone had crazy plays including Lowry embiid and maxie

Lucky win. Rozier out and butler injured

No he is a hot take personality on tv

[@Cmiro22544]

[@SoteroA]

Jokic is the best player in the league until he plays v embiid 😆

[@TherealCouchking]

LA does star right says ohtani but didnt ohtani get 40$ million stolen. I don't think la treats stars right lmao!

[@PJF2G]

Call me a hater but no one but a rim running center benefits from Trae young. He’s not who y’all make him out to be. He will not chip up as a key player

[@philipcross6733]

Young is not a player on a truly winning team. Much better options than him.

[@nielcorrier8851]

The lakers should stay away from Tray, he can't shoot !!!! He is inefficient!!! Terrible idea!!!!!

This is a joke right? Jokic doesn't flop to the floor with his whole body falling down every time. Embid averages 2 more free throws a game in the regular season and 2 and half more in the playoffs compared to jokic

[@AlwaysLM2011]

Embiid owns jokic every game 👀

Ever ask yourself why media will never, ever, ever, ultimately, emphatically, blame referees? 🤔 gee, I wonder why…..
