Holy Shit!! The Ending To The Nuggets/Jazz Game 7 Is As Ridiculous And Crazy As You'll Ever See
Listen, I can't exactly explain what that was because this was one of the weirdest, ugliest games of hoops we've seen in quite some time. But we gotta talk about that ending for a second. Shit, don't need to talk about much else considering there were 14 total points scored. You have the fact Gary Harris - who missed the start of the series with an injury - poking the ball loose from Donovan Mitchell, who had one of the best series we've ever seen. Then the missed layup, then the Mike Conley three. How did this not go in?
This seriously felt like a late night Thursday/Friday NCAA Tournament game. Ugly, crazy ending and everyone on Twitter saying this team has no shot in the next round. And let's talk about the layup for a second. What are you doing? I mean, I know you make the layup there, the game is essentially over. But you know how you really end the game? Dribble out the fucking clock! There was 6 seconds left, you didn't have to get to the rim. You had a fast break with Jamal Murray holding the ball. Spread that shit out and run the clock out. Or, just make the damn layup! I really don't remember anything like this.
PS: The fact the SERIES-WINNER was a jump hook that looked stuck in the paint by a guy that didn't jump more than 7 inches off the ground makes this even better:
What a damn series. Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell were legit historical there. We didn't get the pretty, fun game 7, but we got the insane ending. Goddamn playoff basketball is the best.
