[Highlight] Reaves gets his own intentional missed FT to send the game to OT
Holy shit that couldn’t have been executed any better
This is literally the best I’ve ever seen it done
Steven Adams to westbrook might be the only better
The fact that he made such a quick pass out too made it so good.
100% - cleanest intentional miss I’ve ever seen
Best executed one, but the one that Luka had when he was still in Dallas will always be the wildest one I’ve seen go down
Luka flailing his arms after is my sleep paralysis demon
I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious😂🤣
Much better celebration on that one, too.
Ayton came up huge clearing the lane for AR, just moved Jokić out the way with no one else close to the ball.

Mikal Bridges pulled one off down 3
He declared his love to the basketball too!
I saw that. I hope he proposes.
I hope we get invited to the wedding.
Just needs to win that ring in June and he’s all ready to go
AR really the best FT shooter on this team
Deandre “Clint Capela” Ayton with the heads up box out
Yao Ming had an amazing one. He slammed it right into the rim, and it REBOUNDED STRAIGHT BACK TO HIM (like a slingshot).
He passed it and his teammate missed.
But the miss was the most perfect one. Literally PERFECT.

Wemby gotta try this. Probably helps being closer to the rim in launch point.
Wemby can touch the rim while standing at the line
insane the nuggets didn’t have another guy in there. i know they were guarding the kickout shot but you don’t have to guard it if you get the rebound
Gamble fouling up 3
It was done perfectly.
Fuck the foul up 3
It’s the greatest example of “I like when my team does it but absolutely fucking loathe when another team does it”.
It is the right play to win but it is a terrible play for the overall game of basketball.
I think about it like if you were to purposefully commit a DPI against a WR when the clock is at 0. You would be trying to commit a violation to ensure a win. For the NFL, they combat that type of BS by giving the offense an untimed play.
The NBA also needs to find a way to prevent teams from purposfully committing violations to win the game down the stretch.
You could give the ref the authority to call an intentional foul which would result in 1 shot and the ball. That seems like the easiest way to stop it but obviously teams/players would still try to game it by trying to make it seem not intentional. Also, you’d have to deal with giving more power to the refs.
Basketball gods always watching
Fuck the Lakers but I’ll always support the Foul Up 3 not working
It makes for unexciting basketball yes but ,no you still do it every single time.
Lamest play in sports
Yup!
I’d be so pissed at Adelman if I was a nuggets fan rn
They got rid of the take foul and they need to get rid of that next. Shit is LAME as hell
Also, please clown this dude who tried to tell me “just don’t get down 3” like a smart ass
/u/makeyourself101
I am thoroughly entertained
Maximus Decimus Meridius couldn’t be prouder
this makes up for his turnover that lead to a Gordon 3. FUCK THAT. I need to see a cardiologist tomorrow.
Pay him EVERY DIME WE HAVE
Utah
BEGONE THOT
Maybe they’ll get Cooper Flagg
Insane play. This entirely made up for his two turnovers in a minute.
Granted, he immediately got back and took the charge after one of them.
And earned the ball on the other with sensational fronting on jokic
I never get tired of seeing teams pay for fouling up 3
Yes that was great. It’s such an ugly tactic
except if my team does it
You don’t have a team Vancouver!
what did i do to u to deserve that
Holy shit this game is amazing, that’s one of the most clutch plays I’ve seen all year if not the most
This is genuinely the first time I’ve ever seen this strategy be executed correctly.
Luka to go to OT? That was even better
that was cinematic, but this was just clean as hell
This one by Mikal Bridges was sick
Straight up number one option in the clutch
Look what Jesus did! Look what Jesus did!
My dawg
[deleted]
Oh
“I LOVE YOU” to the basketball after.
Not sure I’ve ever seen an intentional miss to one side before. That was pretty cool
He leans left before it hits rim too. 100% intentional.
LETS GO REAVES CLUTCH ASS SHOT
That was the perfect bounce lmao
Someone posted Lakers were the only team this season to not play OT. That’s when this was decided
That was unbelievable
I don’t care who is offered, Reaves should remain a laker for life
Insane game
He’s fucking incredible
Fuck this game rules
Omg
AR saved my life
The way he says he loves the basketball is just too much goodness
Coldest White Boy!
Reaves is a pretty incredible basketball player. He consistently does high-skilled stuff like this.
Showing the league why he deserved to be voted as an All-Star.
Lakers magic
Basketball gods said fuck you to nuggets. Fucking hate the foul up 3 allowance.
That was the golfer in him. He knew where to aim the shot.
no mulligan needed
I screamed
Smartest clutch shot I’ve ever seen
AR the goat!!!
Don’t let this distract you from how bad the end of games are when a team is up 3
Dawg
#1 clutch team for a reason
My goat
He’s HIM
Been a wild game
He redeemed himself from that one stupid turnover that led to a three.
Just fucking nuts. Clutch Lakers are real.
I knew the spurs should’ve signed him
The boy and the man
Ice cold
Wow great play by reaves
I screamed my shit out of that floater
Simmons gonna be texting about how the spurs should’ve offered reaves the max when he was a free agent.
Fun ass game
I really thought it was over
How did OP post this so fast
Lol facts
Wow @ Reaves. Had a feeling this was going OT. Exciting game.
AR has that DAWG IN HIM
the dumbest thing a sports fan says is ‘that dawg in him’…it’s nonsense.
Austin 3:16 said I just tied the game
There were 0.7 seconds off the clock before Reeves even touched the ball. Probably doesn’t make a difference but there have been so many clock malfunctions in college ball this week, so it’s extra noticeable to me.
Where’s the clip of him saying I love you to the basketball right after
Damn, perfectly executed
Reaves is fucking HIM
Other teams better be taking notes
the fucking balls on this guy
Good!
Maybe teams will stop this fouling in clutch shit.
Boring ass end to a game.
Do you know how hard that is?
Why cant we have a normal game vs LA?
Charles in shambles
What are the nuggets
Honestly, great box out by Ayton
That MFer has definitely been practicing that when he’s bored lol
Denver against the Lakers in the playoffs is best case scenario for the Nuggets.
“Third option”
Austin Retrieves
That was an amazing miss ngl. It went to an empty spot of the floor.
When’s the last time that happened and was successfully accomplished on a game? I’m betting close to never.
I fucking hate this foul bullshit dude JUST PLAY BASKETBALL
Jamal Murray better show up in overtime to make up for his trash game so far.
Nice play. But this dude is so fucking annoying. We wouldn’t even be in this position if it wasn’t for his stupid ass.
