Miami Heat Playoffs: After 6ers ‘Targeted’ Him During Regular Year, It’s His Turn

With good size, all the skills in the world, and a silky smooth jump shot, he managed to raise his level of play all the way to the ranks of a top 25 scorer (21) in the league this season. That’s what a Philly team that should be digging for options will encounter in this series.

When you combine these two pieces of knowledge, Herro’s productivity and the 76ers thinning depth, with the fact that Herro didn’t have his best showing in the first round, you might be on to something.

Though he would pick up near the end of the Hawks series, still en route to averaging just 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in the series, that should provide the stage for a Tyler Herro outburst in this second round.

The Miami Heat will need it too. Listen, they should be able to beat this Philly team anyway, especially without Embiid for a few games or at full strength, but you always want your best guys going good at the most crucial times.

Heck, even if it isn’t a total necessity for this series, they would want to see him get going for what’s to come beyond this series, hopefully, of course.
