The Herd with Colin Cowherd

[kylemckinzie]

I know Serbia lost, but it's kind of insane that jokic is worth so much that Serbia was even with team usa with him out there

[dwoodstwin]

Joel is skilled but damn that dude stays falling on the floor. He goes down 2-3 times every quarter

[DrawQuick]

Remember when people would argue that Harden was better than Kobe and Wade? Then the refs stopped giving Harden every single call he immediately stopped being a top 10 player. I can’t wait for that to happen to embiid

[tomtalley]

Embid is ball dominant. Ain't gonna happen in the Olympics.

[benjaminchin]

Taytum criticism is really starting to get out of hand. You can argue that he’s not top two on the team at any of the attributes Colin mentioned, but he’s upper half at all of them and probably one of the most well rounded players on the team

[Chalk]

I think the biggest stat from yesterday was Serbia was minus 26 in the 9 minutes Jokic didn't play. With him on the floor, Serbia was even with the US.

Colin Cowherd is the most overhyped sports analyst on TV

[Neotidus]

Team USA doesn’t need Embiid on the team. He’s just snagging a gold that he doesn’t deserve

[otislamar]

The media stay trying to break up the Celtics

[KJoutdoors-jx]

Joel Embid is the big man version of James Harden.

[that_celtics_fan]

I love how the coach doesnt play jayson tatum and that means tatum isnt good. Great take colin.

[DP-]

Joel Embiid was a joke yesterday! He was one of the reason that the US started so slowly.

[SojiFro_]

Let’s not act like Embid didn’t have a legit MVP season. We can criticize the guy without lying about him.

[samf]

Embiid is 6-2 against Jokic with a better ppg and rpg avg. He dropped 41 on Jokic in their last meeting.

[michealolivieri]

The bouncing Kahwi shot change alot of what we say with Embid and KD’S toes on the 3 point like changed a lot of what we say about them.

[cortneypope]

Colin - Your Joel take didn’t age too well 🤷🏾‍♂️

The fact that he was all NBA first team won the championship and lead his team in points and other categories throughout the playoffs and you're calling this man lesser than what he is I swear the hate for Jason Tatum has gone out of control

[mjitalia]

Colin is a pure Tatum hater. Tatum already has a Gold medal with KD. Good lord..

[nicholaseaster]

Colin has a point. The Celtics Top 5 are by far the best in the NBA and perfectly compliment each other. Brad Stevens built the perfect roster except for KP is made of glass. JT is the best player though

[drpestwick]

So, Tyrese Haliburton wasn't played either...it's one game. Man, you guys always have something to say about JT, jeez.
