The opposing team’s entire starting core is out. Bums are in. Your team is full strength. Yet somehow… you lose. OR was it a 18pt 4th Q lead and your squad just threw the game away?

    Last season Boston vs OKC was absolutely embarrassing since Shai was unavailable and once the dudes heard he was out embarrassed themselves and their opponent by acting in away like the game was already over before tip off.

    Julius randle hit one of the most insane game winners on us last season. Literally just chucked that shit up there no form no direction nothing. Even he looked surprised he made it lmfao

    Wasn’t a loss for my team, but I was at a Wizards/Warriors game in the mid-2000s (forget exactly which year it was now). The Wizards were down two and Gilbert Arenas got fouled on a game-tying shot at the buzzer. Don Nelson then got a tech for arguing the call, and Arenas hit all three FTs for the walk-off win.

    Most bizarre loss I’ve ever seen in person. Just imagine the social media reactions if that happened today haha.

    Last year, the Warriors lost to the Jazz in Utah despite being up 3 with the ball with 8 seconds to go

      For the Warriors that 31 point comeback from the Clippers in the first round must also be up there

    Nets-Bulls 2013 Game 4. Nets were up 14 with a 3:30 left and CJ Watson gets a steal and break away dunk. He misses that open dunk, which would of put us up 16, but he misses …and we lose the game.

    Highlight

    Probably that one against the Suns around 2016 or 2017 when we were up, Bledsoe made a layup and Isaiah Thomas lost it on the inbounds and Tyler Ulis steals it and hits the game winning 3. I was sitting there like wtf was that?

    There was that one where poole couldn’t hold onto the ball with like 6 seconds left last year, that whole last minute I think we were up 5 or 6 and lost.

    I used to rep the Nuggets cuz of Melo. One time against the Pistons they were up 3 with under 2 seconds left, had the ball, and just needed to inbound it at midcourt.

    The inbound pass goes off Melos hand, Rasheed Wallace grabs it, throws up a shot from behind half court near the sideline, and it banks in to tie the game and we lose in OT.

    1. Clippers vs. ATL Hawks. No Trae Young.

    We were up like 20 at the half. Dumbass Doc decided it was a brilliant idea to keep bum ass Harrell in despite him being a walking turnstile on defense for some unknown PG to get layup after layup. Never subbed Zubac in during this time, who was clearly a better defender.

    Ended up losing - it was a B2B so no PG/Kawhi. But Hawks were not that good then without Trae. Reporter asked Doc after the game about why he didn’t switch Zubac in. Doc said we needed more offense than defense.
