Re: PG: A shot from down under!!
Man, re-watching the last 2-min again… there is nothing greater than a crazy comeback with a buzzer beater.
This one might rank #1 in all the post-MJ ones. That first 05 Knicks win was my favorite, but this might’ve edged it. https://youtu.be/NHE9UCokwXo?si=RaJYa5NiJq9v6NY5 (honorable mentions for some of Rose, Demar’s big shots)
Nothing like all 5 contributing. Coby heating up. Josh Half court shot. Stealing Lebron’s inbound after handing it to him. The and-1. Pat making a 3P out the timeout. Huerter with the 3P. Even Vuc blocking Lebron and hitting the 3P on the other end. And to think Reaves kept answering but we still topped them. Interesting that Luka and Lebron deferred to Reaves at the end, but AR has become a legit all-star imo (helps when Vuc’s in the paint).

This one was a classic, too. Especially when hearing the Hornets' announcers call it!

How does this compare to the Ray Allen Ben Gordon clutch shootout in the playoffs? forgetting the year

09? That was an epic playoff series. But I don’t think any individual game ending was as zany as this one. But 5/7 of those games went to the wire with multiple OTs. Obviously a playoff game trumps regular season. This group does appear to be forming that never-give-up underdog mojo like the 05 and 09 squads. I’m too experienced and scarred to get too excited for the Bulls,

I love that green circle at the bottom of the first graphic!
The amazing thing about our 4 quarter defense of late is that we've been doing it without 2 of our best defenders who were part of closing line-up in Jones and Ball. Kudos should go out to the impact that Giddey and Huerter have had in their absence.

C'mon guys...lets see if we can get a PG thread to 10 pages! Sad that it's come to that!

Almost nothing compares to that series. And in general you can't compare the playoffs to regular season.
That 09 series is one of the craziest events in sports history.

Key takeaways:
- The Lakers saw us coming. Took us seriously from the beginning and our young pups showed poise in a playoff-esque atmosphere.
- Coby White was triple teamed and he mixed up his game and became a playmaker at the right moments.
-Josh showed how resilient he is after air balling that layup and following it up with clutchness.
- LeBron was part of every play that caused the Lakers demise in the end. Patrick Williams hit the big 3 n his face. Josh Giddy stole LeBron's pass which led to Coby's bigger three. Josh shot the game winner in LeBron's face. That has to be one of the least clutch sequences in NBA history.
- Coby and Josh are without question the backcourt of the future.
Maybe I can go back to sleep now.
On LeBron he was responsible or defending the last 12 pts from the Bulls.
Before the ones you mentioned Huerter also hit a 3 while he was guarded by Lebron.

Re: PG: A shot from down under!!
Lebron definitely showed his age at the end. He's still very good, but I'm still stunned that Austin Reaves was the (recurring) closing option on a team with Luka and Lebron... and of all those guys (known for defensive liability), Lebron was the one getting picked on, defensively. Luka probably needs to figure out how to assert himself as the #1 there. It's barely been a month, so it's not like you can blame them.

That's OK. Until now, the Bulls haven't given us even reason to be cornball since early 2022.
