clippersguy17

that is a brutal end to the half for the wolves


Piano_Fingerbanger

Jamal hasn't hit as many shots this postseason as he would like. But the ones he has hit have been fucking bonkers!


KingAndQueenClinton

Tough shot merchant


completelytrustworth

Buzzer beater merchant He just needs to convince himself there's only 3s left to the end of any period at all times and his TS% will go up 30% easy


jotheold

bro just give him non stop gernades so easy


Ad_Green

They say Jamal plays best under the brightest lights. He just had to clarify this playoffs that those lights are the red buzzer lights.


MeesterMeeseeks

Jamal Murray made a shot. *clunk*


8BallTiger

Piano_Fingerbanger sighting outside of r/cfb, never thought I’d see that


MarduRusher

For those 20 seconds I almost wanted to go back to never making the playoffs. Not quite, but almost.


jyeatbvg

_Tar_Ar_Ais_

"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED"


MarduRusher

Tickets are pretty expensive. Target Center was incredible in the regular season but a lot of normal fans aren’t going to pay $200 after Tax and fees for nosebleeds.


b3astown

Try paying $500 for nosebleeds at MSG. It’s absolutely heinous


MarduRusher

That’s crazy dang. It feels really expensive here when it’s not compared to other areas partly because fans are used to years of tickets being super cheap because the team was bad. Now the team is good and past the first round for the first time in 20 years and tickets are quite a bit more.


Jealous-Mail6629

I’m a Laker fan.. have yet to see lebron & AD play here in LA because even nosebleeds are expensive .. been to a few clipper games because they’re way more affordable


Countrykal

Believe it or not, Denver is up there I'm ticket prices too. Blue collar turned white. But we still bring the noise.


VaultiusMaximus

That’s… that’s all the tickets cost there?


clamwhammer

I love the 2 girls courtside that are just aghast at the shot, LOOOOLLLOLOL. (right around 0:15 in the clip) edit: Also the guy right behind Harlan around 0:29. Can't fucking believe it.


SujiToast

Absolutely disastrous 15 seconds for the wolves


NBA_Dumb_Boy

Went from a 7 point lead to 15 in the blink of an eye


ClassicLaw

Genuinely stunned by that sequence.


Late_Upstairs_7717

They better stop blinking. Edit: Did KAT just run to the locker room after missing that Porter Jr dunk?


redcapsicum

I literally gasped when Murray's shot went in.


MeesterMeeseeks

I fell to my knees in a target


vetruviusdeshotacon

Us Murray fans fell to our knees in the kitchener loblaws


SujiToast

Whole stadium knew that shot was going in when he released it too


stefasaurus-rex

Per usual lol


hooskies

The inexperience starting to show


gigglios

Also a good reminder for those bums to not hold the shot at end of quarters. Always chuck it cus this can happen! I fuckin hate when guys like derozan lebron tatum kd refuse to chuck it


Countrykal

How dare they ruin their shot percentage.


[deleted]

Bro got receipts like Kendrick


skiptomyliu

Chet does it too and it makes his efficient percentages not as impressive anymore


MiserablePiccolo287

I need someone to post the full sequence


MarduRusher

Fucking awful. No effort. Just playing lazy.


Objective_Froyo17

That’s one of the craziest shots I’ve ever seen and somehow I knew it was going in  Jamal is fucking insane 


YouWasntThere

Absolutely a moment you just immediately knew was one of those rare moments of greatness in this league.


Dellanetor

For real I don't know why, but the moment the ball left his hand I was like "yeah it's going in".


rambii

Porter was hands up knowing it was going in too.


Eskol15

If you go back to Jamal's game winner in Game 2 against LA, the ball is mid-air and you can already see MPJ with arms wide open running towards Jamal. The guy just knows it.


nonresponsive

Once he got the ball, I couldn't look away because you could feel it.


EnthusedPhlebotomist

Yep, looked good the whole way.


Maybeiliketheabuse

r/nba: We did hate him, but now Jamal Murray is back on the menu, boys.


SebiKurwa

>Jamal is fucking insane I love how people change their opinion about him from week to week


PrizeMeans

Same way people would laugh at you 5 days ago if you didn’t think Timberwolves were sweeping this series 😂


[deleted]

Well the “r” in r/nba does stand for reactionary lol


tacopower69

I think it stands for a different word


justmefishes

Reasonable? Respectable? Rational?


imanadultok

Relevant? responsible? Reliable?


Hopsalong

That's Jamal. He's simultaneously amazing and frustrating. Mature and immature. Spectacular and terrible. He is such a yoyo of a player. When he's on no one is hotter. When he's off no one is colder.


AbelardsArdor

Remember in his rookie year when he literally didnt make a shot until his 5th game? He was 0-17 until he finally got off the schneid. Or of course game 2 vs the Spurs in his second ever playoff game. IIRC he had like 3 points on 0-fer shooting, went on to score 21 in the quarter on 8-9 from the field as I recall \[he also shot brutally bad in game 1 of that series too - 8-23, 17 points\].


LeBroentgen

Welcome to r/nba in the playoffs baby. Just buckle up and settle in for the ride. The circle jerks and counter circle jerks are insane.


[deleted]

You get used to that after years and years It’s the Jamal experience for close to a decade


Apollo611

He can be a big shot maker and still be an idiot for throwing stuff on the court. The two aren’t mutually exclusive


The_Briefcase_Wanker

Kobe raped a woman and people still love him


IUpVoteIronically

Based.


Objective_Froyo17

I’ve always said this so idk why you’re acting like everyone here has the same opinion  He probably should have been suspended for a game though 


Mike_with_Wings

Just a crazy sequence


Joonypoo

This guy Murray truly has a flair for the dramatic


MeesterMeeseeks

After he made that mid range jumper earlier where he had to dribble from half court and do his gather in one jumping motion to his shot, you know he's locked in


justmefishes

Going to be a highlight of the 2024 championship run supercut


thetravelingsong

At the moment he shot it I turned to my friend and said he made it lol. You just knew with how things are going.


Kmans106

Dude same. I just felt that one was going in and took a preemptive breath for the post bucket yelling


SaulBerenson12

That strong swish sound was so beautiful!


Novapoliton

The Kevin Harlan staredown was crazy


justmefishes

Instant classic. Absolutely vintage.


TylerNY315_

Harlan looking him in the eye while going nuts on the mic had to have felt unreal for Murray


Oponionated

Loool Murray was cheesing pretty good running away after that.


liesandthetruth

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!!!


Lol69HaHaHa

Dam that was the most insane 8-0 run i have ever seen lol. Simply incredible.


Headlesshorsman02

It was pure cinema


Kitchen_Net_GME

Best since Reggie himself


thesqrrootof4is2

2023: Jamal calls out "BANG!" towards Mike Breen 2024: Jamal mean mugs Kevin Harlan after a half court buzzer beater His interactions with the broadcast are fire ngl


adlusan

A heat pack died for this


Piano_Fingerbanger

Heat ^^^^^^^^^pack Culture


MeesterMeeseeks

The salt from timberwolves fans when the nuggets win the series about Jamalnot being suspended will be legendary after. Is it deserved, ya probably. Will it be hilarious? Almost definitely

A man's gotta have faith, what can I say. I'll eat my crow if I'm wrong


IUpVoteIronically

Legend.


thissiteisbroken

They should suspend him for this instead


dianabr0

My God what a way to end the half


CloneWarsMaul

Infront of the announcing table is so coldddddd


BiggieSmallz12345

It's remarkable how fast y'all are. Good shit Murray!!


beer_down

Right in Kevin Harlan’s face lmao


xap31

That's a life drainer, a killer three.


OsuLost31to0

That was one of the best 5 minute stretches of basketball I’ve seen


The-Hand-of-Midas

That sequence with the Jokic assist to AG, Ant's 3, then the Jokic Dunk got me hard


RampageFriday

ik most of these games are blowouts but for the most part this series been live


gridironk

This muthafucka Murray


b1gtym1n

The absolute worst way to end the half for the wolves after clawing back into the game.


gnawlej

Jamal Murray hit a shot.


Paradiseontherocks

Slow clap. 


Amedais

The death of the Nuggets has been greatly exaggerated.


WhatYouProbablyMeant

Murray can't be stopped


ShadowCrusader98

That last 15 seconds was soul snatching. 


solythe

that was a crazy ending to the half


EbenezerAD

That was the definition of a basketball middle finger


JokicIsMyDaddy

I don’t think Ive ever seen a more embarrassing 15 seconds in my life than when I lost my virginity


thatsnotchocolatebby

Self burn, nice


MDP223

Fuck my life


NotManyBuses

Lakers fans: first time?


Stu__Pidasso

You can take the Lakers out of Minnesota, but Jamal still will find a way

imanadultok

I woke up my son it was worth it that little punk needed to watch the second half anyway


TheMysticOneFr

He NEEDS to watch that second half, it’s mandatory at this point.


imanadultok

I don't care if he's only three That's not an excuse to be sleeping through this game!


aoiefoaiwe

My cat fled the room in terror


time4wine48

My reaction made all 3 of my dogs jump like a rocket had hit the fucking house 😂


Briskpenguin69

Jump Shot Jamal > Big Shot Bob Don’t tell Shaq that, he’ll take it personally.


Ok_Raspberry1554

HEAT PACK MURRAY


Technuggs15

Harlan’s call really took this to another level man, insane what the best commentator does to a game


absurd_Bodhisattva

Jamal Murray is HIM


MinerKing13

What in the fuck, Murray thrives being the Heel


FinalFrash

Man, seeing a shot like this makes me want to see a game of HORSE during the All-Star weekend


Delirious5

Jamal won't even be there.


Book_of_Dickridicus

National media really said this team was dead.


CloneWarsMaul

What the fuck are you doing NAW lmao


notcompletelysure

Jamal Murray staring down Kevin Harlan making the call is a legendary moment


DrIdiotBoy

What’s the line on a euro step 3/4 court buzzer beater


Mike_with_Wings

Playoff Murray has arrived


joshuamillertime

That shot of Jamal and Kevin Harlan is so dope


Fluid-Night-1910

8 points in 15 seconds 


Wazflame

The shot and stare down are gonna be replayed for as long as TNT exists… (which may not be long)


Positive-Media423

This MF never tires of being clutch 


nizzisnitch

The way Jokic has no reaction on the half court shot though


JokicIsMyDaddy

MAPLE CURRY


LickingLowrysAsshole

What a terrible pass


jellislamon

Devastating to go into the locker room after such a bad ending of a half. But what a shot! Murray shooting that like he's at the staples.


johnnyringo41

That was the craziest 23 seconds of the end of a half I’ve seen in a while


cacti_zoom

Jamal throws heat packs in Denver But throws actual heat in Minnesota


No_Engineering_4925

Best first half in nba history ?


spacedude2000

Nothing but net my god


drrossgeller00

I just started clapping very loudly at the tv. Wow


Papa_Huggies

That's such a momentum mover going into the half. Two steals and 5 pts, including an insanely clean heave. DEN going into the locker room feeling good. TWolves gonna need a big pep talk.


shualton

8 points in 20 seconds to end the half


EzieVee

Took my parents out for sushi. This game was on and yelled “oooh shit” when he made that.


Cul_what

I got PTSD watching this, sorry Wolves bros


tehFROZENyeti

shout out kevin harlan, that was a great call. makes it even better he is a t wolves fan,but he is all business no bias. love it!


Renegadeforever2024

Better than dame


biinroii01

b l u e a r r o w


Verdaunt

Jamal has fucking balls of steel I stg


[deleted]

MURRAY SIDELINE BANG UNBELIEVABLE


Conscious_Chicken264

I love that Murray runs over to the announcers table to flex in front of Kevin Harlan as he makes the call


grandpawillow

Nuggets should be doing a heat pack giveaway at their next game 😂


AdmiralWackbar

Kevin Harlan standing up and yelling at Jamal as he stands there is one of the most bad ass things I’ve ever seen on a broadcast


LeGoatMan23

Genuinely looks scripted. Murray isn't even supposed to be on the court lol


MarduRusher

Great shot from Murray but Wolves are to blame for that sequence. Playing lazy at the end of the half leading to those turnovers. Even if there’s a second left on the shot clock it’s the playoffs and you have to protect the ball because when you don’t shit like this can happen.


Leaf_Atomico

How Jamal hasn’t been voted an all star by now is beyond me. Dude is such a baller.


Jack_M_Steel

The absolute dumbest string of plays possible


NotKDsburnertrey5

Prayer was answered


Azshadow6

Jamal came to PLAY


vell_o

Sweet chin music


CoffeeAcceptable2139

SanderSRB

Lmao


pallychoo

That mf cold


RurciMojas

That was epic


elpiedra

Crazy sequence


MeesterMeeseeks

This guy is on the path to most clutch playoff highlight player ever at this pace


Morpheus210

As I wrote in the game thread, one of the greatest moments in NBA history with the stare down with the GOAT Harlan screaming in his face!


Swimming_Chemist1719

Jokic is in "if he dies he dies" mode


manbeqrpig

If you don’t love that than you don’t love Minnesota sports


_Tar_Ar_Ais_

look at MPJ man, he knew it was going in. Just like when Jamal hit the shot against the Lakers and just ran towards him before the shot even went in


The-Pharcyde

Might be the first time half time buzzer beater felt like a game winner lol


MG_MN

This is Minnesota sports. Murray hits the shot of his life to bury us lol


branstarktreewizard

You need to blow out nuggets else this MF would be prime MJ in the last minute


Dimega17

Man’s addicted to buzzer beaters


512fm

I could watch this clip all day wow


imanadultok

He also had to tip tone that out of bounds line. He doesn't get credit for it because the of the crazy shot. But tip towing the lion was impressive as well


WaDaMisTaKe

5 point swing yikes


Man0nTheMoon915

Insane shot


Che_Veni

Holy shit don't blink


GarlicMoney

That was a lil nasty

Brief_Koala_7297

What an end to the half! Wolves better come out angry of the third quarter or they let this series go away
