[Highlight] The turnover that started the Rockets’ collapse, Rockets were up by 6 with 30 seconds left and had possession.
Straight up unexcusable
And inacceptable
Me fail English? That’s unpossible!
blame dickerson
KD didnt throw that pass.
Blame him anyway
I’ll excuse it
I really don’t think you’re supposed to.
I was gonna type GG and be like ok Lakers won 2 games I am happy enough it’s normal they drop 3rd game… and this happens
The funny part is the Lakers had a couple bad turnover to let the Rockets get their lead too. Then the Rocket just were like, no thanks!
No, the most hilarious part is SVG saying it’s basically over, and the MOMENT he finishes the sentence, IT BEGINS.
It got me too. Left the game on when I ran to the store cause i was waiting for the blazers game to start. Saw it was Rockets up 6 with the ball and no time left so I figured theres no way and flipped over to the blazers pregame lmao.
Jabari could have walked the ball up and held onto it. Lakers (minus Smart) were done with the game lol
Jabari gonna take a Hall Of Fame candidacy on Shaqtin’-a-Fool. 😵
Well we know Durant’s thoughts on Jabari
And tbh he ain’t wrong
Crazy thing is if Tate doesn’t commit the stupidest foul of all time nobody is talking about this turnover
this is the bigger thing for me
the jabari turnover? crippling for sure. but the foul on the three is the fatal blow here
Ime’s reaction this whole sequence was hilarious. Dude was having a full on meltdown
Got a link?
LeBron does his classic quick 3 that rims out and all the Lakers are in the backcourt besides Smart who is with 4 rockets up front
Guys like Smart give your teams chances they never should have had
Incredible effort by him tonight
“…or maybe not!” had me dying
You can see that the lakers gave up after the missed 3 and rebound. Except smart ofc
He had zero reasons to pass the ball, he could’ve just dribbled it to the other side of the court as there was zero pressure, even Lebron was walking already to the bench lmao. Not sure what he was thinking there.
Watch how Smart stunted to fake pressure Jabari. Jabari panicked and threw the ball.
Yeah he had him shook when he was still multiple feet away lol
Bro had stake in lakers sweep or something
Yeah the body language from the team was atrocious after that missed 3. Smart with the winning plays
Lakers practically called it off and Jabari sparked the comeback lol
As solid as the Lakers have been, this series is just a Rockets failure to step up in the moment
Lakers had a few to allow rockets pass them up in 4th quarter to begin with tbh.
Lakers also have 60 ppg injured on the bench
I’ve never seen this much lazy passing in a game, let alone a playoff game
Stan van gundy jinxed them
Up 6 with possession with 30 seconds left is about 99.9% implied win probably
“So youre saying theres a chance?” - Marcus Smart
I turned the game off for a split second after the missed shot, put on my watch, glasses and wedding band. I turned the game back on and Marcus was at the free throw line and I was genuinely confused.
Like what the fudge happened?
Bro, were you with a hooker or something? Why’d you have to get dressed and put the ring back on?
We all have our superstitious ways of watching the game
Needs to be with a hooker for Lakers to win
Never underestimate the heart of a champion
Or the rockets ability to blow a lead lol.
Streameast crashed when Lebron missed the three and I refreshed it thinking that the Rockets have won. When it came back on Smart was shooting 3 free throws lol i couldn’t believe it.. What a disasterclass by the Rockets
Look at Smart. Steps forward to bait Jabari into passing and immediately anticipates the pass. Knew that Tate was gonna play him close and baits the obvious foul. Winning plays.
absolutely brainless. we’ll look back at this moment as the moment that caused
a. ime udoka to be fired b. rockets blow it up c. all of the above
Even those teams that choked to the Pacers last season didn’t choke this hard.
If I remember correctly, didn’t the Rockets choke badly against the Timberwolves a few weeks ago?
i genuinely switched off the tv after that lebron missed three and was shocked seeing the game was in OT later
Hilarious that there is only 1 player that was still playing on the Lakers and he throws a lob pass there. You can excuse if the Lakers were swarming him but the other 4 guys packed it in
Lowkey ______
<Insert famous Chris Broussard quote>
I love that Tate subbed in right before this and Udoka was in his ear giving him the gameplan, then he goes and fouls Smart on a 3-pt attempt.
Ime haters will say this was Ime’s fault somehow. You can’t coach stupid.
Yup he’s been outcoached this series but this one not on him
Who committed the terrible foul on Smart? The guy he just subbed in
Maybe the worst turnover I’ve ever seen.
It didn’t even look like the Lakers were going to foul either.. just had to dribble it across half court
We have to put him down
It is a crazy mistake by Sheppard but I think this is on Udoka.
He’s doing too much trying to get cute and inbound all the way to the backcourt. You’re overly paranoid about turnover and then it gets manifested. It’s just not a natural to do it.
Rockets gonna be able to close this one out
OR MAYBE NOT?
What a boneheaded play
Couldn’t have written that script any better for the Lakers
Forget what Smart has or has not done this season. His contract is worth it with just this play right here!
Can’t win with these dickersons.
Unbelievably bone-headed play by Jabari, Tate just rubbed salt on the wound afterwards with that foul lmao
It was over, Lakers were going to let the clock run out
James gave up. Marcus didn’t and revived James
I’ve been watching basketball for like 3 years now and this shit was so embarrassing to watch even as a casual. Just hold on to the ball or look around before passing the ball. It’s like the basics of basketball,soccer and handball
Looks like Smart jabbed towards Jabari to get him caught in the air and throw the turnover. If you watch it slow Smart jabs at him and immediately retreats back anticipating him throwing it
Bro what the fuck was Tate doing. That was still going to be a crazy contested 3 and he blatantly fouled him for no reason then had the audacity to point at the ground like it was even remotely before the shot. He’s lucky Sheppard turned around and blew it even harder because idk how Jabari is getting even more flak than he is in this situation. Like that foul was genuinely borderline point shaving
Hard to believe a NBA team could blow that
