The last day of the season was extremely bizarre and chaotic. We saw some free chicken wings, players completely zoning out and passing it to the ref, and a team losing the game on purpose to avoid a certain playoff matchup. So let’s start there actually.
The Cavs were in play to clinch the number 2 spot in the east, but they knew that in that case, they would likely play the Sixers or the Heat.
So, in a desperate and cowardly act, Cleveland who was up by 13 at the beginning of the 4th quarter, benched every meaningful player, and played the rest of the game with their end of the bench guys. Pete Nance, Damian Jones, Isaiah Mobley and Emoni Bates played the entire 4th quarter which the Hornets won 32 to 14. So the tank job was successful, and the Cavs lost this game falling down to the 4th seed and now facing the Magic in the first round.
I personally despise losing mentality like this and avoiding opponents just to say that you lost in the second round and not in the first. So all I can say for that matchup is go Magic!
The Knicks however showed that they don’t care who they face in the first round, so they played to win in this absolute thriller ending against the Bulls.
So after this suffocating defense by OG Anunoby on Derozan, the Knicks had a chance to win this game, and of course they went to Jalen Brunson.
Wooow, you could hear the entire arena exhaling as they were ready to explode here.
So in overtime, the battle continued because…
The Knicks were able to create a bit of breathing room a few times, but Chicago always came right back with an answer of their own, making this an absolutely wild finish.
And things completely escalated in the final seconds…
Are you kidding me! Knicks I almost died here you can’t be doing this to me. I don’t have the strength to endure this in the playoffs as well.
And speaking of the playoffs, New York secured the second spot in the east, and now waits for the winner between Philly and Miami in the play-in, for a crazy first round matchup.
In New Orleans, the Pelicans needed to win to stay at number 6 getting them straight in the playoffs.
But as shocking as it sounds, this game looked just like their in-season tournament matchup, where the Lakers won the game by 44 points, exposing Zion’s inability to shoot the ball.
Whenever Williamson got the ball, LeBron was waiting for him way down the lane, and 2 more Lakers were ready at all times to clog the paint if he ever tried to penetrate inside. They left him wide open for these shots as he was miserable shooting the ball, 4 for 13 only 30.8% from the field.
The Lakers led by as many as 32 in a dominant wire to wire win on the road, and now they meet again Tuesday night for the play-in.
The winner of their matchup however will go on to face the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets. So, good luck to both teams.
And this is another reason why the Pels fell down to the play in. Phoenix needed to win against Minnesota who were fighting for the top spot in the West so they came out trying to win this game.
And that’s what makes this Suns win impressive, as they came out guns blazing, led by Bradley Beal who is stepping up as the hero of this team for the past few games.
36 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists for Beal on 66% from the field, getting a crucial win for Phoenix who now go straight to the playoffs and funny enough, this is going to be the matchup.
Suns vs Timberwolves in what’s about to be an absolute shootout.
This is without a doubt the greatest feel-good story of the season, as the Thunder went from the 10th seed last to the top of the west in just 1 season. The most shocking turnaround that I’ve ever seen.
They needed to win against Dallas to stay at the top and boy did they ever…
A damn near 50 point win against the Mavs who admittedly didn’t have anything to play for and rested all their top guns.
Still, a great finish of the season for the Thunder and now the vibes are immaculate.
The last day was definitely a wild ride, but it was nothing compared to the greatest night of the season that came just a few days ago. You gotta check out the absolute madness right here in this video. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out. - Спорт
“HE GAVE THEM CHICKEN.” Is a wild statement 😂
It’s really not
Its not. He really did.
😂😂😂😂
The NBA climaxed 😩
Wouldve been a good thumbnail if Gradey made the playoffs
Corny
Thanks i was wondering about that too 😂
@@toptiercrip sorry
@@blvckmamba-lz6vb nah fr 😭
Knicks ain't scared they gave their fans their money's worth
Not only Cavs , Bucks also lost purposely to avoid facing Heat/Sixers.
😂 shi crazy chess not checkers
If I were the bucks I'd be more scared of Indiana with their record against them this season
Best* coaching move doc rivers ever made 😅
after last season, Bucks don't ever wanna face Jimmy in the first round. especially when Giannis isn't fully healthy
Fraud Rivers 10000000% did not want to see the 76ers and did the same damn thing
That guy that purposely missed the free throw for chicken for all is da real MVP
You mean Boban? Yeah he's great. Funny too 😂
Do not say that guy again that bobaaaaaan the friendliest giant you’ll meet
The title and the beginning statement of this video are wilddd 😭
Zion is what you get when you order Shaquille O'Neal on teemu 😂
😂 😂 Dude I'm choking
Losing in 2nd round guarantees atleast 2 more home games compare to 1st round. Better for Cleveland economy and of course more income for their owners. If Greg Popovich can tank two whole seasons, I am sure Cleveland can tank one game.
I agree
bitch move
JB needs to get fired. I was at this game and I was a Cavs fan and I yelled that JB needs to get fired
@@fentazen2677 mh... cool
I bet cavs still lose in the first round but to the magic, which is more embarrassing
Unbelevable how Knicks became the most likeble team
Yep. Eff the Cavs! Go MAGIC!!!
Bet.
I get it, but it wasn't the player's choice...
Edit: I'm a neutral fan btw.
@@lukeolesinski7439 Coach made the decision on behalf of the team. Team is the Cavs. Cavs can go pound sand!
@@burnout3722 you just proved my point.
honestly give yourselfs the best chance to progress cause anything can happen round to round. spida goes off. oponents pick up injuries. etc. do whatever it takes to reach that 2nd round and see what happens. we all know if cavs pushed and spida got injured we would be killing them for it. knicks wanting embiid/butler is just insane to me. if you want to win the whole thing getting worn down by the heat is a terrible way to do it.
Those fakes by Herro are 🔥🔥
Love this type of videos. Watched them all year and they give such an awesome and quick overview of the night. Keep it up man. ❤
2:42 trying to change the script💀
😂😂🤔🤐
Come to think of it, the Magic also wants to play the Cavs.. Lol
The Bulls are so confusing. Everytime I feel like they have to press reset button they elevate their game.
I would love to see OKC beating Durant and winning a chip.
Beal's legacy is on the line in these playoffs.
The first 2 mins is smart and strategy every team was doing that since the 90s Gilbert himself said being all games start at the same time the teams that know they need to win will win which exactly happened they easily could have just played this way from jump but they also have to be smart health wise as well to make the 65 games now to keep the money
Knicks are losing to Heat/76ers
He gave them chicken😂😂😂😂😂 madness
The CAVs man! 🫵😩👉🚪
Personally, the 76ers and Heat are bad matchups for the Knicks. Knicks would have had an easier time against the Pacers.
Honestly the fight for the 2nd seed seems worthless when you might be right in the prime position for butler to go playoff mode on you
0:42. Poku makes a break for the rim, lays it in.
Lakers won the seasons series and OKC is vulnerable against size. OKC better hope the Pellies can beat the Lakers in the play in.
What about the bucks? Didn’t they also, like the Cavs, tank the season end to avoid the heat and 6ers?
It's smart tbh.
No, they're just trash
The Cleveland thing was smart
Agreed.
Ye. Donovan still recovering from injury.. if u can choose ur opponent in thr first round, go for it.. then face the tougher one next round.. sheesh.
Ofc being so young and in first will be scary for years to come 😳
Suns climaxed their whole draft picks for boso players .
KD trade coming in 😮
Don’t count out Bol bol 😤🤧🥹
Zion a good player for the 82 game season. Exposed for playoff basketball.
The most shocking turnaround you’ve seen??? You just saw the Suns go from not making the playoffs to making it to the finals next season.
On injured west teams. Not gonna happen again
@@lucky889s9 they were injured too, CP3 got hurt the first game, caught covid in against the clippers
OKC Thunder showing that team chemistry and execution wins over superteams and drama.
Shai leading that young team to the top seed is actually insane mvp or not he’s proven he’s amongst the best of the best
Lmao :D Mavs played with their 3rd bench team hahaha. Cuban got triple double, Equipment manager double double and the mascot 8 blocks.
Not only did the Cavs intentionally lose to avoid the 2nd seed, I bet the Bucks did as well.
I mean, I get it, but it wasn't any of the player's choice.
If you aren't a fan of either team why do you even care...?
@@lukeolesinski7439 I'm a Bucks fan :p and I respect the Cavs move. The 76ers and heat are sleeper teams and bad match ups for us.
@@Mr.CJ- I see. It just wasn't clear whether you thought the move was cowardly or smart...
My b.
I know it's been awhile but what happened to his studio?
Honestly, the Timberwolves has the toughest 1st rd matchup, i believe the suns has a great chance in upsetting Minnesota.
Anyone who will face the Nuggets has the toughest matchup.
@@bernadetteramos3268 That’s bbq chicken for sure.
Cavs should get a huge fine
They ain’t the first team to tank. Teams been tanking for whole decades but they can’t tank 1 game for a much better matchup? Denver did the same too
Lmao, who would you rather play in the first round. The magic or the sixers/heat?
Not that bad of a strategy I mean ya it’s cowardly but if they make the second round you might be able to count on injury’s going you way and random players getting hot on your team and or a gross underperformance on the other end.
@@justinholland6132 I can maybe understand players not giving 100 percent in a game like this, but playing the reserves in the last quarter is not cool
@@itay6262 yall choosing swag over brains ? 😂😂😂
What a sussy title. 🤣
Bro, it’s more about you being dirty minded than this title being sus 💀
4:04. Bol.
can you have prediction in the 2024 playoff?
thats a bitch move by cleveland. go magic
It really ain’t at all
Nah. That's a good move.
Cavs done fucked up because us Magic fans were hoping we would play the Cavs lmfao.
Ehhh... Idk man. Magic are really inexperienced...
I feel like they are where the Cavs were last season.
@@lukeolesinski7439 sure, but it’s still the best matchup for us. We have a legit chance at winning this series
CLIMAX
zion better be practicing his passing if he aint gonna learn how to shoot.
Another Brunson buzzer brick
Did the NBA at least pull out or is the NBA expecting a lil bastard now?!?
Why do always play this spooky mysterious music? 😂
If the Cavs still lose in the first round, the coaching staff needs to be fired
Amboutocaaam 😫😫
Why on Earth would the Knicks play the 76ers or the Heat instead Indiana??🤦🏻♂️
New Orleans building their Team based of a Player who can only Dunk is Weird and Stup!d!
You forgot the Boban chicken debacle
uh... why is it a debacle?
@@tsubakichan he meant diabolical
AYOOO
tbf celtics played last 2 games with g-leauge and bench and still clapped
What's the point avoiding certain enemy team, yet you gonna face it anyway to win the title. I don't get it...
Holy moly, Zion even got fatter. It's seriously limiting his explosiveness and conditioning.
Players hogging the ball for that final heavily contested shot is bad basketball.
No 50 point piece no good games
75K 13h 628K subs
Cleveland did as was allowed. Don't knock them for the strategy they came up with. True, that I'll be cheering for Orlando but i wont hold the Cavs at fault😂
Pause...
Woahhhhhhh
notice how derozan had a chance to get off a shot at the 3 line on his last shot but was too scared and wanted to get closer to the basket lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
He's too good at being mid.
How is facing the Magic an improvement???
Dude... They are so inexperienced...
You'd rather face Embiid??
i love the cavs, but intentionally losing the game. kobe would be disappointed
Who do you think is winning The league?
respect to Knicks they don't care who they face, not like Cavaliers and Bucks with weak knees trebling to avoid possible Miami match up lol☘️☘️☘️
I don't get it. Why the cavs didnt just play with the reserves? I mean that way at least the reserves would have gotten more minutes
My thought was that they were keeping track of the other team's scores and decided in the fourth to tank...
What the caveliers did makes no sense to me. If they had won, they would be in the 3rd seed and face the weaker pacers. Beat them and now they face either the Knicks or 76ers instead of the celtics/heat. Why would they tank to play a stronger first round and second round opponent?
Hi Stefan do you think the Pacers will destroy the Bucks in the playoffs 🐌🐌
this is me Stefan and I say yes because I'm a huge Raps fan and I love Siakam
Cavs losing to the Magic fasho
Boy they playing Chess not Checkers.
Zion scared of the Lakers.
Please free AC. He don't deserve this.
How’s it loser mentality? It’s literally trying to get a better much up so u can WIN. Plus they team been injured all year
THUNDER NUGGETS WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS - THUNDER NUGGETS WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS - THUNDER NUGGETS WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS - THUNDER NUGGETS WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS -
More like an anti-climax.
Tons of lopsided games, and the couple of close ones meant nothing.
Yup
Hahaha, Lebron told Zion I'ma do to you what the Spurs did to me at your age. lol
It's not a losing mentality if you lose on purpose to avoid a matchup in the first round. It's so that you can delay it to a future round once your team has some momentum going into that round. This is especially true if your team has lost the season matchup against that team in the first place.
1st
Knicks being 2nd in the east shows how weak the east is this year .
Dont push too hard with clickbaits
Denver also intentionally lost to Spurs to avoid Mavs or Clippers the next round BOOOOOOOO
Yep
2:00 pause
I think OKC is in for a world of hurt in the Playoffs. They are the best in the West, and the youngest team in the NBA.....but the Playoffs with seasoned Vets......now that's a whole other beast. I wish them the best of luck, because they are definitely going to need it!
We have no idea how they will translate to the playoffs. I am excited to see how they do in a series.
Come to think of it, the Magic also wants to play the Cavs.. Lol.
