Knicks will win series despite Tyrese Maxey's hero antics, Bo Nix-Broncos will be "fine" | THE HERD

The Philadelphia 76ers bounced back in Game 5 behind Tyrese Maxey's 46-point performance to fend off elimination for now. However, Colin Cowherd is not buying into Philly despite Maxey's hero antics. Watch as he explains why the Knicks will hold on and if the 76ers should ultimately trade Joel Embiid. The 2024 NFL Draft wrapped up last week and six QBs were taken in the first 12 picks. The Denver Broncos reportedly believe that Bo Nix is "as good as any QB" in the draft and ready to take off immediately. Colin breaks down Denver's current situation and further explains why no one should worry too much about the Broncos roster QB-wise.

[@RJGPG]

On the cap situation yes and no. The only reason teams are bailed out is because cap space also goes up and they keep kicking it down the road. If cap space remained static for 3 years some teams would literally have to go to skin and bones undrafted free agents, such as Saints. I'm all for taking swings but mathematically that's why it can happen.

[@soullessellie]

The 6ers have a ton of cap space, with Tobias Harris coming off, and only have Embiid (And eventually Maxey) under contract… Also will have 5 first round picks to play with… Not sure how they are in a bad place….

[@samuelwallace2782]

People will be like "fit is the most important factor in the success of drafted qbs" Then be like "the Broncos drafting Nix is a bad pick because I had him going in the second round." Like, ok but in Denver he has a good chance of performing like a first round pick. The situation makes him the ideal pick for that team.

[@dskwared2u610]

Power rankings have the Broncos near the bottom of the league. Head football coaches usually get fired after 2 or 3 unsuccessful years but I do feel good about Colin's take to help his friend.

[@Guyver_Master]

Where Collins is wrong like always. Philly is the better team. New York is just more marketable now.

[@MoBeatz]

Philly is NOT the better team bro. I mean how could the Sixers be better when they basically have all their starters playing in the series and they're still behind in the series? The Knicks have basically a 7 man rotation without Randle and still it took a meltdown from the Knicks at the end of game 5 for Philly to win. The Knicks are better than the Sixers and they are proving it in the series and will do the same when they get their full healthy team back next season!

Disagree totally, 76ers should really be up 3-2 and in control of the series. If the Knicks don’t get some miracle rebounding late in game 2 and some questionable officiating, I would take the 76ers to end this in 6. They might not have the better team but they have the better stars in my opinion.

[@jdxsr85]

Miracle rebounding? This is how I know you have no idea what you're talking about. The game before the playoffs the Knicks outrebounded Philly by 20. The first game you got outrebounded by 22. Hartenstein outrebounded your boy Embiid to keep them alive in game 2. It's no miracle Knicks have owned Philly in rebounding several times.

[@hawaiianstarman]

Neither team is structured for a late playoff run. Embiid is playing far from 100% due to injury. At this juncture, Knicks are just not a good playoff team. Too much Brunson.

[@MoBeatz]

Bro you must be kidding! I don't know what NBA team you tend to watch but do yourself a favor by researching the Knicks before you sound like someone who doesn't know anything. The Knicks are the ONLY team in the NBA that was able to win 50 games with basically 4 of their 5 starters injured this season. I mean where was the Sixers when Embiid was out? You do realize that Randle is injured? That's like 25 points taken away from the starting lineup. So where do you think that's coming from? It just goes to show how good Brunson really is. Go back and look at how Maxey looked when Embiid was out in the regular season. And to think some people have the audacity to say that Maxey is better than Brunson!

[@brooksorlando4510]

At least with JJ he's only 21 and has a strong arm. There's upside there. It's just a roll of dice given what he was asked to do in college. With Nix, he's 24 and physically closer to someone like Dalton..that's ok if you just want a middle of the pack at best starter. He's not as talented as Brees. Similarities with underneath stuff, but Brees had a way better deep ball and anticipation and long developing plays.

Bro listen, the Sixers are SOFT & EMOTIONAL and it clearly shows with how they act on the court. That's why Embiid & the Sixers play dirty to have a chance to win.
