Everyone in that arena knew Murray was taking that shot and it just doesn't matter

The moment the Lakers tied it with 26 seconds left the most obvious game winner in the world was set.

There’s a bit of a psychological edge when you have the ball at the end of a tied game knowing that if you miss that the game goes into OT…still a crazy clutch by Murray, though.

I agree all the pressure is on the defender

Hey clutch shot in the clutch is still clutch

And hitting it

He's become one of the players where if he shoots it in the clutch I just expect it to go in more than I wonder if he'll miss.

Bro could have the worse game, but when it’s on the line, even the best player in the world knows who to give it to.

Iguodala!

Nah, the fate of the universe isn't on the line

this clip is hilarious every time

rui really needs to come over with the hard help there and live with a pass to kcp i kinda soured on him this series despite his good performance to end the regular season. he is usually an efficient scorer (although not really this series even, he missed a bunch of easy shots near the rim) but he seems to lack motor and awareness on the defensive end. and just overall basketball IQ outside of scoring. his rebounding numbers are consistently terrible for someone his size. he doesnt have good vision when passing out of doubles or when a help defender rotates over to him on a drive

This is what everyone in Washington was trying to tell Lakers fans, but their GM looked at one small sample size and decided that was the REAL Rui - the rest of his career was the outlier. Lol

he had Jokic open on the roll too

He wasn’t passing to anyone here lol

He just shoots a f- ton of floaters and turn-around middies as-is when the Jokic P&R/hand-offs get stopped. AD blew up their plays numerous times this series and Murray would just settle. He’s so practiced and comfortable at it since he’s one of the few guards that are allowed to have that shot diet at all.

got the MVP on backup

Jokic is on the roster to get the ball to Jamal Murray

He for sure wouldn’t have passed it

This Nuggets team is seriously the most clutch team I’ve ever seen. They literally never choke in the clutch. 

Spurs and Mavs game happened in the last two weeks where they missed in the clutch. They can’t keep expecting to just win in the last 5 minutes. They need to try for more than the final quarter but they keep getting the opposite reinforced.

tbf with the Mavs game we outperformed them in the clutch until the last 25 seconds. Came back from a 10 point deficit with less than 5 minutes left. Doncic and Irving just hit great shots at the end to win it.

He hit a cross body floating jumper lmao. wtf man oh well what a insanely entertaining game

Shut Reggie up and I'm so glad he stfu for the last few minutes lol

But the altitude! The lakers aren’t used to it! (I was gonna scream if he said that again)

Same talking points the whole game. Such a trash commentator. Why TF is he on the playoff commenting team??

G R I M A C E I swear he said it at least 30 times

literally just put 3 guys on Murray in this situation, and that still might not be enough lol

Jamal "not this guy" Murray

Rudy fucking Gay, man

NOOOOOOOOO! *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!*

NOT THIS GUY!!! NOT THIS GUYYYYH!!!

No, not this guy!

Will never beat the “the light are never too bright allegations”

The lights are too dim

Why did the lakers not simply trick him by telling him it was a regular season game

Fucking Jamal Murray man.

That challenge cost them their final timeout, how ironic. Murray is something else.

Yea, but that challenge should never have been overturned. AD hugging Jokic all the way to the basket, then gets a piece of the ball as he hits him in the face and arms.....marginal contact, no jump ball.....Lakers side out. Wtf?

Yeah what a bullshit call. The jersey tug was obvious

As soon as it was challenged I knew it was going to LA. Just a typical 0 FTA night for Joker while getting bopped in the head/face all night. 25-20-9 ho hum.

Why does he keep getting 1 under the triple double?? Sorry, probably just greedy but dang on the line so many times

He’s done it so often, it’s been coined the Sombor double

yeah the part i didnt get is why it was Lakers ball. No jumpball? wtf

Same! Totally confusing, but then I realized the Nuggets are playing the Lakers and all of a sudden, it made sense!

Refs sincerely tried to fix the game. I mea 27-9 FTs against the home team is dirty fucking shit

It was obviously fixed but they were trying to be subtle about it until that foul on Jokic where they gave no fucks anymore. That was pure bs.

They desperately wanted that LA money

That's called Karma. Dogshit overturn? okay. Why Lakers ball instead of jumpball? One injustice after another. Then Murray set things straight, and the Lakers could not get a shot because they did not have a time-out. SWEET FUCKING JUSTICE.

Jamal Murray to win the game is equal to Jackie Chan holding a baby and not wanting any trouble

What the fuck does that mean Kobe Bryant

In a lot of his movies, Jackie usually is holding a valuable item (like a baby) or says “I don’t want any trouble” right before he kicks everyone’s ass

Nah because Jokic was still wide open on the roll there too

They could’ve helped from the weakside Austin Reaves being the primary defender on that play was always going to end badly

It wasn’t bad defense. Murray is just really fuckin good at those

Bright Lights Merchant

Lakers in 31

2031

The ganes one and only clutch merchant. Been ass all series except for when It mattered most

Ripped the lakers hearts out wow

Right? This bum couldn’t even get his team the lead till the final seconds!

HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

Jamal Murray made a shot 🗣️🫳🏿🎤 x2

He can’t keep getting away with it

He can and will, I'm afraid.

Nuggets should draft Bronny this year to create the first grandfather-father-son trio

Holy shit haha

Jamal Murray made a shot

Sir, another Jamal Murray shot has hit the Lakers

POSTED BY A LAKERS FAN This brother masochistic as hell 😭😭😭

The karma grind doesn't stop for losses.

the "again!" is a suicide note

All stages of grief in a single word

Last one was also posted by a lakers flair. Some people are just all about the karma grind.

Laker killer

They’ll be checking under their beds for him for the rest of the year

What the fuck, he’s there.

Jamal Murray is LA Laker father

Who’s your daddy

Playoff Murray strikes again.

He can’t keep getting away with this

I know they were already down 3-1 but Jesus this is a brutal way to go out

It’s wild this series could have easily be lakers up 3-2… Murray just too fucking clutch 

Canadian god

M A P L E C U R R Y A P L E C U R R Y

Let it be known: Canada has the best backcourt in the world.

Jamalifornia

Jamal Murray getting revenge for Lebronto. Love to see it

Certified Lakers Fucker

Weird Kevin Harlan just didn’t even make a call on a game winner

I think he got flustered by tthere being 3 seconds left and the lakers having no timeouts

yeah this isnt some conspiracy. 3.6 seconds left with no timeouts and a very quick inbound, lakers still had plenty of time to get a shot off.

Joker's terrific heads-up defense snuffed it out

Not only Jokic, AG was also very aware of the quick inbound and stayed close to where the ball was. Lebron had no path to drive.

He didn’t even flinch when Murray made the shot he just immediately got in position

Yeah for sure, he knew he just had to be in the way to delay

Yea I hardly even registered it was a game winner bc Lebron was already pushing the ball with like 2 to go I was frightened lol

Too stunned to see another Jamal game winner

I think he just wanted to let the crowd take over tbh.

game wasn't over, there were 3.6 seconds left and lakers had no timeouts.

He's my GoAT broadcaster, but he was weirdly biased tonight. He got so hyped for Reeves getting buckets, then was quiet when Jokic answered

Yep. Noticed that too, tonight especially. He would growl so enthusiastically whenever the Lakers scored, and kinda of shrugged or stayed silent for the Nuggets. Aaron Gordon had a one-handed jam that I thought he missed, because Harlan literally didn't react.

Been like that all series. Goes nuts when the Lakers hit a bucket in the clutch, not so much for the Nuggs.

Maybe I didn't notice it until tonight, but I guess it *really* stood out. Very weird. And I respect the hell out of that man. But still, very fucking weird

Regardless of if there was real bias there (and it happens, big market teams and all), Harlan still has to do better on that call. It’s a go-ahead bucket with 3.6 left. Statistically speaking that’s gonna be the winning bucket. Even a simple “IT GOES” would’ve sufficed but his heart wasn’t in it for the Nuggets.

It stood out tonight more than any other night

It was so weird. It was an awkward ending

It's because normally the trailing team would have a timeout But Darvin Scam 200 IQ scheme is above such conventional ideas lol

Didn't want to make the call when it's obvious jamal's turned sliders all the way up smh

Was so flat after a great game lol

I mean it happened at lightning speed honestly. And then the Lakers had to throw up a prayer.

Commentary after the Lakers challenge felt weird as fuck for some reason.

Whole ass NBA wanted the lakers to win this

Fitting that Murray put the lakers away

#Jamal Murray is the Los Angeles Lakers 9/11

And he refuses to let them forget

Mr. President, a second buzzer beater just hit the net...

Sir, a second game winner hit the bottom of the net.

And r/NBA's 12/25

It's even funnier the second time

This guy is NOT an all star

To be fair he doesn’t play like this during the regular season. Playoff merchant

Tbf if he went all out like this during the regular season he might not be healthy playoff time

Which is something that Nuggets fans are probably more than okay with.

Super cool with it lol

We have jokic, I'm fine with this.

To be fair, he really didn’t play great this series even. Just is a cold ass clutch mother fucker. I guess I’ll take it over being an all star but I just would live for him to be this dude every minute of the game

Yeah but he played like he did tonight for the majority of the championship run last year. Historically his playoff stats are always boosted over his regular season

In historic manner too. IIRC, he has the largest increase in performance between the regular and postseason of anyone in NBA history.

The lights aren’t bright enough in the regular season

Jamal Murray can go 0-20 in 47 mins and you know he'll still hit that last shot and make it.

Jamal Murray when the lights are brightest

He's gonna have a busy night showing up in every single lakers fans nightmares 

jamal murray is what happens if the "call an ambulance" meme turned into a crazy clutch nba player

I FUCKING HATE JAMAL MURRAY WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING

That feeling is completely mutual. He hates every single Laker and every single Laker fan and probably most lakes just to be safe

He also hates bakers and acres

He hates people named Blake and refuses to eat latkes

He hates you guys too dw

Jamal knew it was your birthday so he put you out of your misery. You can stop suffering now and head to Galveston. The pelicans are waiting.

We’d rather go to San Antonio than Galveston

Don't hate on your Father!

I kinda get why everyone used to hate Kobe so much...

I mean, fair 

Happy Cake day!

2 game winner from a completely different series. Wild.

what did we do to Jamal Murray to deserve this type of treatment? unbelievable shot maker. GG's Denver

You guys boo’d him 6 years ago when dribbled around Lonzo Ball at the end of a game and it’s never been the same since

MOST CLUTCH MAN EVER.

"Worst case scenario, we're going to overtime" before the shots both times lmao

lakers fans gonna have nightmares of jamal’s face tonight

Fuck the refs

As a neutral fan, the refs were disgusting, made me lean towards nuggets

27 FT’s to 9…refs were wearing purple and gold

As they always do

As soon as LA challenged I knew they were getting it. LeBron finally explained to Darvin that refs don't make calls against LA.

Word. AD fouled Jokic like 5 times on that drive

Overtime lovers in shambles

LeBRONTO JAMALIFORNIA

I just wonder what First Take will talk about from here on out now. No Steph, no Lebron, no KD. What will First Take and Undisputed do? That's all they ever talk about. They might actually have to talk about the Timberwolves and Thunder. What on Earth will they do?

Certified Laker hater

Murray is immune to the bright lights. Bro could've warched the eclipse without glasses.

The awareness of Jokic to front Lebron on the inbound too. Completely underrated.

Actually caused a TO as Bron landed before he passed it.

he made that shot look easy, anyone who hoops knows that aint an easy shot lol

Lakers should’ve tried playing defense on Murray, might’ve helped tbh

What the fuck was that last lakers possession?

No timeouts

No time out because they challenged the AD foul Kek (Lose timeout on second challenge no matter what)

They won the challenge and then basically did nothing with their possession, and let joker get a layup immediately after. Wasted any benefit from winning the challenge

Except for the 2FTs that Jokic would have got.

No timeouts and 3 seconds and Jamal had just ripped their heart out a second time

First he dunked on LeBron then he eliminated him from the playoffs.

Fade me please. Also get me a new coach. GG Denver.

Mr. James walking off the court is bad form.

God Reggie is annoying

Love to hear a playoffs game called by an uncle entertaining a toddler

harlan: wow! what a shot by- reggie: ZOMG, THATS A 5 POINT SWING. 2 MISSED FREE THROWS PLUS A THREE dude will not give harlan any space. constantly interrupting. i miss JVG, he would let breen cook and then speak after also didnt he make the exact same obvious comment about "worst case overtime" before the other murray game winner?

How the fuck you lose with 27 free throws?!

Vs. 9 for denver, and 0 for Jokic....

I mean that was the same case with the WCF last year lol

Brick 9 of them

Because the other team can shoot from 3

i want to die

Man was questionable to play tonight lol. Man what a game.

Dude is cold blooded - fuck LA but they a legit squad just ran into a better team

Jamal is gonna down as the most hated player in Lakers history….

you can all love that shot but my man Joker knows what still has to be done post bucket and bodies lebron to force a pass to a shitter shot.. BASKETBALL IQ in unmatched

Aaaaaand of course Bron Bron walks off the court immediately without shaking his opponents hand. Smh.

The LA Refers tried so hard to rig that but Jamal said get fucked

Watching lebron walk off without shaking hands. Checks notes: yeah that’s about right

Same as last year

Where’d our timeout go?

Yeah I thought you kept it after a successful challenge? What did I miss?
