- Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers lost 120-85 to the Miami Heat last night, and the series now shifts back to Philadelphia with the Sixers facing elimination on Thursday night. Embiid scored 17 points and had 5 rebounds in his first game since news leaked that Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokić beat him out for MVP this season. During halftime last night, Charles Barkley discussed if that news played an impact on Embiid’s performance, claiming Embiid was distracted heading into the contest. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe talk Joel Embiid, Sixers and Heat.

last night proved why he ain't mvp
@@RING_FF Alhamdulillah, Eid Mubarak to you
Can y’all just give the heat they credit?!!
Even in a Heat win, we are talking about Embid much more than the Heat. I hope the Heat repeat their performance for game 6.
Heat could win it all and they'll talk about the other team losing.
@@godorok1 thats whats gonna happen in a few weeks
The heat play well as a team. Jimmy Butler is gonna do what he can, sometimes he goes above and beyond but for the most part u can see why they win and lose games. If they play Miami basketball, more often than not they win but in games 3 and 4 they shot terribly and lost. Meanwhile in most places there's a focus player or 2 that you're looking for specifically to perform, i.e. Joel and Harden.
Doesn't matter who wins they will find a way to talk about LeBron lol😂
Facts
Jimmy butler averaged 21 for Miami this season and during the playoffs he’s averaging 28
Hence the name.... "playoff Jimmy"

It's always the other teams fault why they lost

He is knocking em down for sure…..
What few are talking about is Miami's offense getting back on track with a solid defensive effort. When will Miami receive the credit they deserve? If Miami reaches the finals and wins, will the focus still be on the other team?
PS I hope Miami goes all the way, if for no other reason than to illustrate what a complete, well coached team can do.
Because it wasnt about that. The sixers turned the ball over alot on just bad passes an inattentive passes. The heat need the sixers to play bad in order to win.
@@StraightBleach This has to be one of the dumbest post I've seen. Considering everything the heat have done throughout the season and the playoffs. If anything, it's totally reverse to what you're saying. And I'm not even a Heat fan
Imagine what Miami winning the chip will do for the league, 8 of 15 unstaffed players on their roster
@@StraightBleach wrong the 6ers need miami to play bad or I should say shot bad from 3 to win
@@StraightBleach dumbest take ever. The sixers playing terrible is a result of the Heat defense. Bam was locked in on defense and put the clamps on Embiid.
The media has always hated on the heat even during the big 3 era.. instead of focusing on how well the heat played defensively and offensively they focus on how bad the 6ers played... Never talk about how the heat dominated 1st seed most of the season ... Haterrrrrrs!!If it was any other team they'd say THIS is why they're the #1 seed
Let’s talk about how great Miami was instead of how trash Philly was 🤦🏻♂️
💯
Yep
Miami not great
@@Processing321 right.. just better than Philly lol they haven’t won anything in 39 years 🤣
That’s such an excuse that, “he was upset by not winning the mvp” just give Miami their credit that’s loser mentality
Exactly, the media has been awful since the beginning of the season.
I sure it was in the back of his mind, but he's a professional. No way last night's play was the result of not winning MVP.
Funny Skip said this game was going to put the world on notice that Joel is the best...and again Skip's prediction blew up in his face.
@@jamaaldaynitelong8367 Exactly! Now, he says valid injury excuse. Smh. Skip makes excuses for everyone that he likes when they lose.
@@vinestheviking84 🤣 Skip being Skip
So disrespectful towards the Heat! 🤬
So just ignore the fact that the Heat put an whooping on Philly rear end......
Can we give the Heat credit because even when Joel came back for games 3 and 4 and tied the series the Heat still didn't get fazed
Exactly very excellent comment
Especially not Jimmy Buckets!
Regular MVP’s should be named during the regular season….
Wow unbelievable instead of giving credit to the Heat they come up with excuses for Embiid and the 76ers
It was up to Harden to keep that momentum in his play. Embiid is playing with multiple injuries. Harden was brought there to help share that load and take pressure off of Embiid.
The mistake was thinking Harden would do much of anything in the Playoffs.
Stop blaming the injuries and other teams have injuries but not making excuses about it!!!
Nobody cares if he’s hurt or injure every teams is dealing injuries
@@black4life333 you are dumb asf he didn’t blame injuries he said embiid is injured and harden is supposed to carry the load go read a book and never comment again
I've said it before, and I will say it again: if I was a player these days, no way I'd even go on social media. Joel Embid is a classic example.
Nah I don’t wanna hear Embiid name at all; he playing with injuries. I wanna hear from all these harden sympathizers that think one 30 point game suddenly erases his playoff performance this year. Man has been absolutely terrible; he’s not even an average role player at this point as he gives you nothing offball or on defense and makes the clutchest TO’s I’ve ever seen.
Bruh, nobody trying to erase Harden's playoff performances, stop trying to make things up. Embiid is hurt in the playoffs as often as Harden disappears in the playoffs and he's not helping his team by playing through injuries
@@3nim3nimabl3 Yup; we found us one, so what does Embiid being injured have to do with Harden playing like trash?
Maybe harden is hurt , plus they have no other play making guards
In less minutes, an injured Embiid scored more than Harden. LOL
making excuses for Embitch as usual SMH nobody cares about Harden, Ben Simmons, Doc Rivers or the process any more. This is all on Embitch.
How about talk about Jimmy on Jordan Mode, Herro on a A game and stuff?
So when Miami wins its because Embid is sad but when they killed Miami in Philly, Embid was DOMINANT. SMH can we stop with the excuses?
It’s so Skip and Shannon to make the loss about Embiid pouting and not Miami’s outstanding defense…they held them to 85 points for crying out loud…give credit where it’s due!
When Jordan didn't win MVP he took it personal and won Finals MVP.
Except in 89 and 90
@@dwaynemartin2472 😂😂😂😂
Joel didn’t score that much more in the 2 games in Philly, he did rebound more. This is not about Joel. This is more about the Heat. The Heat missed too many wide open 3 point shots in that last game. They did much better in game 5. If they Heat would’ve made at least 3 more threes in game 4, they would’ve won. The Heat were 7 of 35 in game 4. 13 of 33 in game 5. The Joel Embiid MVP fiasco is fools gold. The media is trash!
Yes I agree. Plus the Heat are the number 3 defense in the leauge when we are playing our best.
Exactly everyone's talking bout Philly like they're the better team and they should win. Acting like the Heat played well in every game it's just on Philly & Embiid to "play better". It's ridiculous at this point.
do you think Heat beats Celtics/Bucks?
@@elijahisrael601 yes
@@elijahisrael601 Celtics yes bucks no
Embiid is playing with multiple injuries, give the man a break. The fact that he’s on the court giving you something, speaks to his level of heart. The rest of the 76ers needs to step up for them to win this series, you can’t put it all on Joel at this point.
Raised by lions 🤡
Yeah unfortunately because he stepped on the court, no excuses. If he's hurt don't play. He feels he's well enough to play so it's not wrong to expect more. Games 3 and 4 he played great.
Fr. The orbital and the thumb coud both be in surgery right now.
If your on the court there is no injury excuses
4-2 HEATNATION 🔥
Jokic doesn’t get injured and embiid always is that’s the difference
👏👏👏
Embid is physically more athletic and dominant there's the difference
Embid also plays defense
I swear I was thinking what Shannon said. 😂😂😂 If everybody voted for Joel embiid how did joker win the MVP. 😂😂😂
Ppl lying lol
@@SamoaVsEverybody814 this is the comment
Somebody lyin 🤓😂
Mainstream media pushed embiid the entire year.
The journalist that cover the teams that actually watch the games voted for Jokic almost unanimous.
@@cjp1599 that explains it. 👍🏾
people really need to start talking more about Jimmy Butler, he has been the BEST player in these playoffs ... yes BEST ... all I hear is Embiid, Harden, Tatum, CP3, Luka, Giannis etc. etc. SILENCE regarding Butler's greatness.
everyone's known about him since the 2020 playoffs. Problem is he doesn't give these types of performances in the regular season so he's not known as a superstar. Obviously he's not gonna get as much attention without that superstar title.
He’s the best non superstar
I'd say jimmy buckets shows up when you need it... Yea the regular season matters but when y'all make the playoffs and Jimmy buckets is getting you buckets... That's superstar status to me... Cause from what I've seen they call "playoff rondo" that name for the SAME reason. (Yes I know he has 2 rings but hey...) Last I checked rondo don't do well in the regular season neither but yet he's still a superstar!
@@MrBacon-ou1kw I’ll take a playoff superstar over someone like embid who only cares about regular season individual awards
@@jonturner7729 You need both to be considered a superstar. Also, it's pretty obvious he cares about winning when we literally saw him bawling in tears after losing to the raptors in game 7.
Some people really thought Harden was back after scoring 31 in GM4. Back from where? It’s rare he ever has great games in the Playoffs. This should be common knowledge. 🤣
Those boys crying right now
Extremely common
Harden has records of missing in the playoffs.. So if he went back, he went back to missing the most 3's in a playoff game
Only reason won because of home court. I'm not giving any team credit so far in the playoffs. Only way you can win is if you're at home doesn't show greatness.
Dumb ppl overreacting again
Even in his prime Harden had a checkered playoff history. Tons of games where he checks out, goes cold etc. Now he's peeked physically and possibly injured. It's downhill from here.
If Embiid let losing the MVP affect his play, then he didn't deserve it in the first place.
The Heat currently rank second in defensive rating in the playoffs and shot 39% from 3 last night after averaging 21.5% from 3 the previous 2 games and Embiid is banged up, but sure, let's blame the Sixers just playing terribly.
Damn maybe it was miami defense. Miami still gets no credit 🤷🏽♂️
Lucky it wasn't draymond that hit his face. That would've been a flagrant 20
Caption should be HEAT blowout Sixers in game 5
And skip had the audacity to call this man the best player in the league.
He said Embiid is better than Giannis 😂
crazy. he shoukd just go back to saying kawhi is best, at least that way no one can proce that till we see him next yr.
This game wasn’t entirely on Embiid, this was just straight up poor team effort all around
@@jay_1212 well when your biggest guy isn’t putting any effort into rebounding or defending you lose the game🤷🏽♂️
Dude playing with injuries on shooting hand and fracture in face. He's a big..... physical in paint. He's still 1-3.
Heat winning and yet they talking about Embiid getting EMOTIONAL DAMAGE , why no talking about his performance in game 3 which is 18 point in 36 min only 1 point diff with game 5. "he did not seem like the joel embiid from the previous two game" i was like really? i see no diff the only diff i see is heat offence getting back together.
Here come the excuses for the Sixers
💯…. When they won games 3-4, it’s because Embid is a beast and a force to be reckoned with and not a mention of the injuries. Even though the Heat missed a ton of wide open shots in games 3-4. Sixers get absolutely decimated in game 5 and it’s “ohh but the poor guy is injured and his feelings are hurt because he didn’t win the MVP”. This is unreal lol
“they must be got two thousand voters” 🤣🤣 love Unc lmaooo
mvp or not, Embiid put everything on line, fighting thru injuries.
and for ppl criticizing Embiid for not attacking paint as much,
he was playing with "broken" face ffs,
which he was playing at risk of possibly losing his VISION.
it's easier said than done, even at principle of "no pain, no gain".
bc for most ppl, pro athletes or not, they wouldn't even dare play,
if losing vision is at risk.
Jokic average 31pts 13reb 5.8ast 1blk 1.6stl 58fg% this playoff!
@@gorantamburic2000 he played 5 games against a team with no Center Jaren Jackson Jr just went crazy too any Top cent is going to do good against the warriors because of lack of Interor Defense
I am a Celtics fan since I was 6yrs old, and Doc Rivers won a chip because they were the first to do the super team thing with KG and Allen. That's that, how much coaching you think he was actually doing, really? Hence the 14yrs after to no avail.
For the people who are trying to use the injuries as an excuse need to realize that Embiid should still be able to give you the production he did throughout the regular season, He's averaging 12 shots a game this series and still making half his shots, he averaged 20 in the regular season and was making half of his shots, He's averaging around 35 minutes of playing time aswell so it's not like the injuries aren't allowing him to play, so why can't he just take more shots?
I think the orbital fracture is affecting his aggressiveness. Shocked that he came back game 3. Usually need 6 weeks to return from that injury.
You're answering your own question. He has a torn ligament on his shooting thumb, meaning he can't grip or release the ball the way he'd like. Moreover, his orbital fracture and concussion add additional disorentiation, after all it was reported he had trouble even looking at his phone cause of its brightness. Lastly, the mask he has to wear reduces visibility. So in essence he can't shoot well, feels sick, and isn't able to see the hoop as well as he liked.
Plus, there are additional factors. For example, the increased physicality of the playoffs means less free throws for Embiid which naturally results in a decrease in PPG. Additionally, he is being guarded by one of the best defenders in the league in Bam, and is the subject of a game plan that is trying to reduce the number of field goals he attempts. As a result, you get what looks like a sluggish version of Joel when looking at the box score.
In normal ppl terms this is like when you go try hard at work for a long time & they pick someone else for a promotion & raise you were going for
Low-key this what Ben Simmons was talking about sometimes embiid play soft at time when he dominate this game like Shaq now he all moody he can't take the pressure but my god harden is done he needs to play the Manu ginobli role off the bench
Embiid strikes more fear than Giannis🤡🤡
Lol Giannis would never lose a playoff game by 35 points
That injury is a distraction. Let’s not forget that his return is very questionable. He should have sat this out
i only listen to shannon talk and then i bounce as soon as skip says "it's my turn". not it's not i'm leaving. lol
the mvp does not put up 17 points in the biggest game of the year
Last time we saw Jokic deep in the playoffs he got waxed by Street Clothes Davis lol. I'd like to see Jokic play with a broken face, thumb and concussion lmaoo
Winning always comes first. If there was a player averaging 50pts but his team was in last place, everyone would question if he really is the most valuable player.
Man why jimmy not get acknowledged like he suppose to bruh been hooping
Embiid said in his press conference that he pretty much knew a couple weeks ago he wasn't getting the MVP.. any time Miami wins they talk about what the other team didn't do
Kareem was a flexible yoga freak and martial arts enthusiast with extreme discipline. Embiid and no 7 footers can live up to that type of longevity.
I'm sorry Embiid but Jokic was without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. all year.
I’ve always notice whenever a team is getting blowed out the best player out of nowhere gets a minor injury late in the third quarter or 4th and now they saying there out for the rest of the game not saying players quit but that’s what it looks like🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
The frozen one definitely does that

Ridiculous. It seems they’re playing without another team. Miami Heat or their players are never even mentioned ever. This is disgusting. Everyone is Joel Harden etc. Hurt not hurt etc. Kyle didn’t play. The Heat was 1st seed and they had star players hurt and out for weeks. Dear lord what is it no one talks about the Miami Heat. Disgusting. They lost. They lost beE cause they sucked yesterday. Period. Stop making excuses.
This game goes to show you Nikola Jokic was the true MVP all along
Jokic wouldn't do nothing with Joel's injuries, stop
@@feroce82 “injuries” lol he just had 24 and 11 the game before he didn’t look injured then
@@SSJRome so because embiid had a great game whilst injured your now invalidating his injury. Let me remind you bam adebayo this very season missed 2 months with Joel’s thumb injury and had surgery… whilst not being a guy who shoots the ball. And ppl who have orbital fractures usually miss a months before returning. You sound really stupid buddy
@@SSJRome that’s still injured. If you watch the games, he’s definitely not 100% out there, especially when you see game 3.
Jokic didn’t do anything either
imagine putting in work for the mvp prize but not the ring
You mean Russell Westbrook?
Always here for Shannon’s suits and brooch. More info on his stylist please 😌🧚🏾♀️ Regardless of these trite narratives y’all keep spewing, the main story here is the transcendence of The Miami Heat. It’s interesting how the Heat always come back from loosing streaks with dominance. Will Duncan Robinson get more meaningful minutes in game 6? Will Dipo get to go off 🎯 offensively? Can they keep lil Tyrese Maxey in check as well as they did in game 5? I say, yes, yes, yes. Bam did an excellent job defending Masked Man. He’s the real mvp of this game 💥 In other 🗞 Will Boston dominate Milwaukee tonight? I don’t think so. Giannis will show up and be super fueled to get i$h done. Hopefully, he gets his other teammates involved. I think 🍀 vs Bucks will be a dog fight and I’m here for it. Let’s GO 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Players should vote. Coaches should vote. NOT the media.
They'd be way too biased though. Everyone on philly would vote for embiid and everyone on the nuggets would vote for jokic. And every other team like the Bucks, Suns, Warriors, etc would vote for their respective superstars who had great seasons. The media is still going to be biased but definitely less.
When I go to all of theses CZcams shows and NBA experts reporters all picked embid so how the heck jocic win
They gotta fight for embid now he held it down all year this a team game. This should go seven good playoffs so far
OG's 🙏🏽💎
Give miami credit. they definetly spent a lot of time watchin film because they played WAY better in g5
When it's Giannis, Dame, or Luka Skip is no excuses and has no problem reading minds. Now he wants to not make assumptions. Smh
They need to crown the mvp of the regular season before the playpffs.
They do . Thats how it works

💯
lol , go watch a couple days ago when Skip jumped on the Joel band wagon when trying to put down Joel . I am shocked they are still playing after he got hurt , I thought Miami would have put them down already.. I am a Bucks fan so I do not have a side in this either , I say that because I am noticing more and more with this show is it's just so toxic because of Skip , he is the main person that decides what topics they are going to talk about and how the convo is going to go.
If Joel really played bad because he was angry about losing the MVP award, then he had the wrong mindset. This is the game you should have dropped 40 and 18 to prove them wrong!
Also there's the unwritten rule that you don't talk/cry your way to an MVP. You gotta win it on the floor.
losing the mvp should give him more motivation last night to prove that they got the wrong mvp n it shouldve been him, oh well
Instead, he showed that the voters got it right lol
Heat culture!!!!
LeGone is munching ruffles 😂😂
Another day, another excuse for one of Skip’s guys. Edit: I stand corrected. Let’s see how long Skip’s heat stands.
Embiid was such a dominant player, he decided which team would won or lose every time he played. When he lost his MVP title, he threw a tantrum and decided to go on strike! Heat was just there at the merci of Embiid’s mood.
Title should be Sixers OVERWHELMED by Heat
Lmaooo facts Shannon folks def cappin bout voting for Embiid 💀💀💀 they gotta make the award after round 2 of the playoffs or something bro come on
They should just wait till after the playoffs are over like in the NFL and MLB.
Give respect to the heat jeesh
Just starting this and I hope they hold Embiid to the same standard as LeBron if LeBron prioritized an mvp award over a crucial playoff game. Let Luka, LeBron, Giannis, or Kawhi a few years ago play terrible in a crucial game 5 because he didn’t win a personal achievement award and see how fast and badly they would be blasted
I just said this myself. LeBron would be getting killed if he said what Joel did. And he’s dealt with injuries most of the time he’s been in LA, and the fans gave him ZERO excuses. Even when AD has missed most of the last two seasons with injuries. Joel been hurt his whole career too, but he got sympathizers.
Damn Skip has abandoned KD and Embiid within 4 weeks.. Who's next?
you gotta respect it though it's pretty objective of him.
Can you please for once in your lifetime acknowledge the Heat? Embiid was distracted by the news? He said he knew for weeks that he was not going to win MVP. But he was not distracted when he won 2 straight against the Heat? Sheesh
they wont even when we win the chip this year
It's funny they mention that Embiid should of been focusing on the championship the whole season and not just now and only been focused on MVP. It's the exact opposite of Jokic. He doesn't care for the MVP. He's always said his main goal has always been a championship. No MVP trophy will be the same as the ultimate goal for him.
Because jokic really doesn’t care about mvp, and he already got one.
Do you mean to say you don’t like to be the best at what you do? Winning the mvp award is every basketball player dream. Cut me that crab that the is a player who don’t care about mvp lies
there is something he can do to win mvp. how about winning that tough conference. how about maintaining the play from the beginning of the year all the way through. consistency.
skip give me a break, you act like the reporter didnt ask him about the mvp race....you act like he just brought it up on his own or something
So Embiid’s way to show the media they chose the wrong guy for MVP was to throw himself a pitty party and put up 17 and 5? Come on ya gotta be better
I dont get it tho, Jokic deserves his mvp but almost everyone i know wants Embid to win so majority for fan influence on this mvp race must have give Embid the edge , even almost everyone in the media/tv show i watch voted Embid so how did Jokic won the numbers don't really match
If Joel Embiid did not play, then you would’ve said he should be helping his team. If Joel Embiid Play, then you would say he didn’t play hard enough.
The face injury prohibited him from playing aggressive how hard is it to visually see that
He didn’t take a swat to the face a rebounded ball hit him in the face
Dude was injured , his face was injured! That's one of the worst and most painful injury! It would've gone to 7 games if he wasn't injured
bruh. i’m tired of the disrespect. erik spolstra, pat riley. these are the main reasons for the miami heat blowing out the 76ers. y’all blame philly for winning. y’all blame philly for losing. how about throwing some respect on the best team in the east and the only player who’s scored more 40 point playoff games than lebron james (jimmy butler)
in all fairness, Embiid's ppg went up in 2020 postseason and stayed roughly the same in 2021, this postseason, he's been used as a decoy vs Raptors and Heat, scoring a slightly lower average and have been winning games for the most part. I don't think ppg matters that much if they're winning games
they're gonna lose this series and its because embiid isn't playing the same as his regular season. Philly is a championship or bust team just "winning games" isn't enough. Losing in the second round isn't enough. They traded everything to win now.
Miami have a team of good players
Ima heat fan but doc don't know how to coach Embid top 2 center now and he getting the ball on the top na heat cant stop him im posting up when he get double up pass easy game
I personally think they lost because Miami was and is a better team. Why are we talking about Joel's feelings. Put some respect on Miami
Does shannon know embiid has injuries 😂
Difference between really talented players now and all time great players, Olajuwon would’ve took this news and up faked the entire opposing team
Thank you Shannon for defending dedmon
Why Shannon and Stephen a smith say the exact words verbatim for the first 1:30 😂
So shouldn’t tht make him wanna go even 10 times harder since he lost? Well Thts not how it seemed last game ( game 5 )
To even suggest he played poorly because he lost the MVP is flat out embarrassing, I’ve heard it all now. If it’s true Joel should be criticised to no end because to let that get in the way of a game 5 playoff game is unforgivable. But I doubt it, he scored 18 & 24 in games 3 & 4 it’s not like 17 in game 5 was much of a drop off was it? Miami simply shot all time badly in those games on wide open shots.
Embiid should be commended for playing. He's legitimately injured. He is sooking and putting too much but when it comes down to it, I respect that he's playing. Harden should be playing faster. Man game yesterday he was just walking everywhere.
I hate that most of these analysts care more about a superstars and what they think about their performance rather than actual basketball and how a team is playing great as a unit. Still all about celebrities.
Miami heat finish this tommow and advance no bs😤💫👌💯
