That moment when you lose a game on a halfcourt shot

GTFO

 

[ManuForever]

My god the Hornets commentators are just as bad as the Cavs with the ridiculous cheerleading on every play. Watching the rest of this game on mute

I remember watching a Hornets game (this was when the Pelicans were the Hornets, obviously not when the Hornets were the Bobcats lol) a long time ago and every time they hit a shot, all you heard was "BOTTOMS!!!!!" I couldn't take it. You think that's bad though...the Houston commentary is absolutely unbearable.

So Grizzlies are down 2 with 5 seconds to go and Matt Barnes rebounds a Pistons miss. He doesn't call timeout but instead dribbles to half court and makes a half court shot with like 2 seconds left to win the game. What the actual fuck.

I hate that dude more than anything.

Coach was probably screaming for a timeout too. Loved the color analyst saying: "What's he doing"?

Yeah he shot that way too early. Lucky he made that or else the coaches would have ripped him. 4 seconds were left when he attempted the shot so basically he could have gotten right to the rim in that time

Can hear the coach now: "TIME OUT, TIME OUT!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DO.....Great Shot"!!

Knicks are just getting destroyed in Utah. Down by 27 in the third.

Knicks are back to being bad again after a solid start to the season.

posted this under the wrong thread earlier -but damn- Nic Batum with the triple double tonight against miami- looks like whiteside was a little underwhelming....something is going on there thats strange from the outside between him and spoelstra it seems like...

and seriously- i udnerstand Winslow plays hard but damn...he has some pretty sorry ass numbers. I know PER is far from a perfect stat- but a PER of 6 is wretched. I like him going forward and think he will be a solid player- but having Deng out has kinda exposed Winslow a little.

Just read that former Cav Hot Rod Williams is on life support. Cancer. Sad to hear. Best to him and his family.

The whole team was underwhelming.
We've looked like a giant tub of shit in almost every road game all year, so it's no shocker.

Whiteside started true game off on fire, but then the Heat got real sloppy and players were playing 1 on 1 launching crap shots.
On the other end, they were not defending, they were just hoping the Cats missed.

Anyway, Winslow is a 19 year old, offensively challenged rookie.
I don't think anything was exposed about his that wasn't unexpected at this point.

Funny your still so concerned about the Heat though. Our expectation level isn't that high.

Shouldn't you be much more concerned about how Love was exposed the moment he lost James finding wide open shots for him?

I saw that also.
Cancer sucks and has no prejudice.
I lived in Cleveland during the Hot Rod days.
He was a fan favorite.

The Heat are a bad road team. Simple as that.

Luckly for us we have a stretch at the end of the month with quite a few home games to pick up some wins before that brutal January stretch. Hope this was a wake up call

When you have as many new faces as the Heat do, regardless of how talented the players may be, defense and road game performance are slower to develop than offense and home games. The reason is because on defense and on the road, players are required to trust each other and communicate.

The fact that the Heat are struggling at times is no surprise. If we get past the all-star break and they are still having these issues on a regular basis, then it becomes something to worry about.

Nothing is wrong with Whiteside. He is rebounding and blocking shots as he is asked to do. Getting his points when Wade and Dragic breakdown the defense. When he stops rebounding and blocking shots is when I would be concerned with him

you think i am worried about one game from Kevin Love when he has been playing BRILLIANTLY?! Right now- like I said- he is at the nearly pinnacle of the league in rebounding- after a slow shooting start he has been shooting LIGHTS OUT lately, his post efficiency is BEST IN THE LEAGUE, - you can pretty much book him a ticket to the All Star game right now.

You think I am concerned about a schedule loss- where the Cavs went into OT the night before- didnt get in till 5 am- and had James, Irving, Shumpert sitting out- and multiple other guys banged up? GEEZ. lol.....yah....I think you hopefully get the picture a little bit better now.

Nice story, but I'll clear the picture up for you.
It doesn't matter what meaningless stats he puts up IF the Cavs aren't raising a banner next October.

All his greatness, but yet he's pulled for 4th qtrs of close games...
Why is that?

Whiteside or Love? .... kidding...

Looks like someone lost a bet.....

Does this have anything to do with Kyrie still not suiting up and it's almost mid December?????

Nope. It has to do w/ Kobe selfishly slowing down the development of any young talent the Lakers have right now. Finally Kobe is being a real team player.


CELTICS IN SEVEN!!!
