NBA "What are you doing?!" Moments of 2017-2021

Shot a little out of control, and now Charlotte's got a one-on-none on the fast break. Oh, ball! Tried to spice it up, and he missed the shot, and a foul on ball. He's coming out. J.B. Tanique staying in front. Ball gets away. And Tanique will take it away from Harden and drive him down. He had a brain lapse. Simmons, he cleared out for him. Back on his way in. Spins off Gallinari. Gives it up. Oh, it was right there. And a foul as Thibel goes to the basket. Boy, Simmons, uncontested, had a layup. Still much time remaining. Trier, three clutch free throws in a row. Yeah, but they're going to use their 24. Oh, this involves long. Fonley banks it home. And it's a one-point game. Shocker fell asleep on the inbound fouls. Cleave off the inbound play. Now off to Doncic. Double-team. They take it out of his hands. Finney-Smith on the baseline. He throws it away. Ball game nuggets. That three would tie it. And it's Barnes with seven seconds. Trying to shake free, but Durant lost the ball. Still looking for Steph. Now Draymond's got it. What did he do that for? Draymond shot a three with five seconds left. Trying to hit the head. Good hustle. Got him a bucket. No, he missed it. Oh, Christ. Wow. You never see that. Which is the G-League affiliate of a Thunder. Watch out. Look out. Diallo off the backboard. He thought he was going to have a trailer on the play instead of just taking it himself. Steph Curry behind the back. Drives down. And misses the jam. He missed it. And Harden the rebound. Uh-oh. Meanwhile, the wide-open transition to Edgeham. Allows him to take advantage. Uh-oh. Shaq to the fool. Yeah, that might be a Shaq play to get an easy bucket for Kevin Love. Not a minute. Shaq to the fool with two up in the same game by the same person. Ibaka. The drive and the dish over to Evita Zubac. Clock's winding down. Two seconds left. And Dinwiddie threw it out of bounds. Oh, my goodness. Brooklyn turns it over. Inbounding right now. Does so easy. LeBron looks to attack. Here he goes all the way. Can it score? Loose basketball. A.B. has it. It's loose. Out of bounds. Here comes Kearns for first. Stolen by LeBron James. A pick six. Marvin Williams picked by Wallace. Since the second quarter. That's a lazy pass. Oubre saw that one coming. Oh, he missed it. Tried to get fancy. Went behind his back. Has it blocked by Westbrook. Oh, did he slip on the sweat? He's got to get over the timeline. And a timeout was called by Scott Brooks to avoid the violation. Tried to guide it up. No. Iguodala the rebound with one second left. Will not get off the shot. Tremendous rally by the Blazers. Iguodala at the horn throws the ball about ten rows deep. Big-time block underneath. Durant is fouled by McConnell. And Durant just chucked the ball into the stands. It's a technical. This is his own shot, but got it right back. Channing Frye. Skip feed in midair. Just Colin Sexton. But the problem is he's got a warm-up on him. Punches it out to Gay. Looking for one. Got it to the slam. Oh, mama. And Derrick Rose is going back. I'm sorry. Derrick White is going back for the alley-oop. And, oh, the bad hair day just getting worse. I've seen it before. Sort of going right at Belly. Are you allowed to block a shot with a shoe? No. No call on that. Is Booker involved with the Cavaliers' huddle? Wait a second. Offensive foul. Kyle Lowry. It was an interesting move. Billy out of timeouts. Here's Bellinelli. Catch and shoot. And it's good. One with possession, 5.5 to go. Horford with a steal. What a play by Horford. Another costly turnover. He gives it to Trey. Right back to Cornell. And he missed the jam. Handers it out to guard Trey. Lobbed to Collins. He went up and missed that one. Here is a takeaway. Jackson's going to go up and miss the jam. Point for Dillon. 50-39. And a steal. Brooke missed it. Oh, my goodness. Oh, DeRozan drives in. Gives it up. Feds leap back in. A three. No good. DeRozan. In and out. Three seconds. Tipping Valanciunas. That won't go. There's a lid on the rim. Fundamentally solid player that can really shoot the ball. Pascal, corner three. A midway through. He's originally from Nashville, Tennessee. Pascal's the eighth. He's got a line, however. And there's another steal. Fell asleep in the sun. And I know, you know, the Spurs are the hottest team in the league right now, but that's carrying it a little too far. Knocked down free throws. And pitch in his stroke removed. Still there. Oh, boy. Oh, wow. Perky jerky from the foul line. You know, the free throw line is the one time where everything's slow. Oh, whoa. Uh-oh. They should take a point for that. I was just about to say that's one of the worst free throws I've seen. Stretchy out to the crowd here at Wells Fargo. I'm an all-star, in, you know, a few other words. Now, of course, Tobias was not officially. Leave the basket, this possession. Got to get that one possession. J.R. Smith inside. Jabari. No whistle. Rolls it in. Van Vliet again. Murray the rebound. Lowry for the steal. And it knocked off of DeJohnson Murray, Toronto basketball. His three rattles in and out. Yeah, half of his 12 shots are behind the three-point line. I don't like that percentage. We've got a little bit of a scourge. Of course, Booker's in there. Hitting tough, contested threes. Here's Kawhi. It's a three. Missed it right there. Defense by Finney Smith. Whistle blows. Foul, 4.4. And it hits the referee, the ball, who was standing right in front of Gordon. How are you going to pass it to Gordon if the referee's guarding it? That's the best defense I've seen by a referee this season. Watch this. And short pass from the corner, drains another three. Jim Boylan in midcourt. Still being icy. That's the owner of the Clippers, Steve Ballmer, looking to shake hands and exchange clips. Blake wanted no parts of it. Nikodaly stayed down. Nikodaly stayed down on that one. Jet jinx. Five more extra minutes. So now you've done this work and did it defensively. Did the 11-0. It became physical for a moment. Right here you could see them kind of grab on to each other and have to be separated. They would talk throughout the entire timeout. Hill misses. Rebound goes to the Cavs. J.R. Smith brings it back out. Throws it to Hill. Hill shot blocked. And we'll go to overtime. They've gotten a number of second shots, though. George way off. It's the side of the backboard. Failed to reach the conference finals. It's never happened in their franchise history. Young got away. He wins. Makes Miami pay the double on Young. 33 seconds left. Butler for the top. Yes. Butler did it. Malachi on the drive. A lot of excitement here. Here's this play I was talking about. Just good hustle. What is Kevin Love doing? I don't know. He's just batting it. My goodness. Boudier triggering. Doesn't like what he's. Oh, he threw it away. He panicked. Absolute panic attack. And the Cavaliers with a steal. That's an over and back. Yeah. Over and back. A mental mistake by Mance. Hawkins gives this to a few defenders. And look who comes up with the basketball. And he misses. What a play by Patrick Beverly. First-team all-defense a year ago. Bogey fell down. Ball hit him. It goes out of bounds. And he's smiling about it, too. Paul for three. Puts it in. 37 points for Paul. I mean, that's as unsportsmanlike as it gets. Patrick Beverly. Nuggets have five on four. And Jokic. Oh, no. For Brooks. Seasonizing at 31. At 22 at the half did Brooks. Let's turn it over. Uh-oh. You know, that's one of those unwritten rules that players get upset with. I don't agree with that, Mike. You're playing the game, man. Right. You got to finish. Well, look at everything. That's nuts. That's just crazy. Wow. Ridiculous. He'll probably do the old thing where he runs along the tunnel and comes out the other side. Right. So active. You know, like I say. It's his nature. It is. Great nose for offensive rebounding, which is very difficult to do. It's more of just kind of an innate ability than anything. We're trying to figure out what was upsetting Tristan Thompson. Watch this at the end of this last play. Well, the coach is upset with his effort because then he doesn't get back. He gets the dunk here. And then he goes at it again with the coach. And, you know, I've had run-ins with coaches before. But you saw that in-house in the locker room. That's the right way to go about it. Three of his last four. And now another. Well, you wonder if he's starting to get in his head at all. Yes, he's missed four of his last five. And those are big misses. And Josh Hart has to worry about the contact. Hart just lost the back. Oh. And then put it into his own chin. They were just short. And sometimes your opponent, the way they play, is going to make you play ugly. Eight points tonight for Hardaway. All of his baskets have been twos. Now matched up with Allen. Seven to shoot. Paul makes Allen fight. That's Paul. Missed it from the outside. Three on one. Thomas. Oh, he was throwing it back to Rudy. He might have wanted. You're looking tied up. Finds Scofield. Oh. Pressed it into the seventh row. And the ball is nudged out to half-court. And he fumbled out of bounds. After Marvin Williams just. It's a steal by Sumner. Off and going. But he fell down. I'm watching this, and I'm looking at Nergis. Nergis chased the ball out of bounds. Home. And they have to be stronger. And, Meek, as we're watching this unfold here. You must not have known Coach Lovett. We did not. Oh. During the game. Okay, don't win. Knocked down a challenge three that time. Empty for Wesley Matthews. And then the Mavericks make it happen. Not as successful. But watch him on the back end. With a gymnastics finish. Might give that a perfect ten. Here's Durant. Setting it up. Oh. Now that absolutely will be on shot to the full baseline. And left the finger roll on the rim. Then James Hart. Off the turnover. Here's Richardson. Off the Embiid screen. Rust got him on the back tap. And it's room service for Rustbrook. Oh. He blew it. They get it to Corey Joseph. Now Bogdanovich. Oh, no. No. And Rozier. Oh, no. Dumps it. In the air. Oh, my. Yeah. Jokic has it. Nearly lost it. He didn't lose it. Two points, five seconds. Burns tries to dunk. Tip in. Good. At the buzzer. Blake Falk here. Down to four. Gallinari. Big shot for the Hawks. And Embiid to make it a two-point game. He missed both of them. Hurt him with a rebound. Gets the time out. Joel Embiid. 11 assists so far. James. Flows past Hart. Open up his passing. Nope. Just a single defender. Blow by. And James has 27 points. He is tearing them up on the low block right now.
