The Basketball Gods wont let you get to The Finals on free throws from trying to draw a foul by jumping into the guy, to bail you out from shooting a tuff 3. imhonw
Horford's foul was actually jimmy Butler losing the dribble and then double dribbling all while jumping up like he's in control taking a shot…. and the Oscar goes to…Jimmy Buckets
derrick white new miami public enemy no.1
Jimmy double dribbled on the last play before the foul😅
Most liked comment on the nba channel
2.1 – 2.5 – 3.0 wtf!???🤡
It automatically changed the clock from 2.1 to 3. WOW!
whoever wins this series will have a hard time against the NUGGETS
Would have been magical if Johnny Most was screaming on that winning basket!!!!
come on Miami Heat 🔥
That shot will be remembered throughout the history of the NBA.
ماتش نار
One of the greatest clutch plays I've ever seen!
2.1 biglang 3.0
KWAB
When people tell me they still play D in the NBA I'll think about that play at 1:06 and see that Celtic casually run back on d in a big playoff game.
4:40 (notice bottom left) wow I guess the Celtics like losing
That reminds me of a play by Larry Bird; I can't place it, but Bird burned somebody.
I can’t wait for game 7. Imagine the viewership for that game
yeah good for him, white was having a bad hair day anyway!!! but Mr. Jummy had a really bad day????? And you know how them millionaires are … they usually have a good day after the bad one….BUT i think the celtics can beat the nuggets???? But the heat matches them better?????
Should've been 2.9 when butler gets fouled 🤦♂️🤦♀️ sorry heat fans. OUCH. WOW
On two plays Butler shouldve been called for a foul
2:35 was one of the most pointless 3's I've ever seen
WOW
It’s so rigged it’s not even funny. Look at the clock when he gets fouled. 2.1 seconds. They put 3 on the clock and Boston scores with .1 left? 🤣🤣🤣 if people actually think that this is legit I don’t know what to tell you.
How they added to time 0.9 sec???? When Boston fouls on Jimmy the time was stopped at 2.1 sec! When he went to the line the time is 3.0!!!! How can this happen????? That 0.9 added seconds was enough for Boston to win the game by tipping!!!
Unbelievable. Game 7 could either be historic for the greatest comeback or greatest upset? Which one, we shall see.
Awakenbeerus is amazing! He accurately predicted the outcome of every sports match I asked him about!
3:42 White Hot 2023 Playoffs 🔥
