You can’t control for variance. Some things just aren’t stoppable no matter what you do.
We control what we can control, and we can do this. Ultimately, if a team wins based on a crazy shot like this, it means we didn’t do enough to pull away and win. We must be better.

Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun. We were on the other side of this for so long with Kobe making ridiculous clutch shots throughout his career.

We need Ginobili to come block that from behind
thebraavosi1
We got gassed with long ass season
This year with IST and play-in route again we have them early in the playoffs rather than late so let’s hope for better outcome.
thegoodfriarbutthole
This is like the moment when King Hippo exposes his belly. AD needs to jab him repeatedly in the stomach when he does this move.

They hit at least 3 such shots in last year’s series all in crucial moments. Hopefully they miss some this time because no human can possibly keep making these shots without missing lmao
runninthruthe818
This is bringing up repressed trauma
d12dan1
Both him and Jokic were throwing up shots like this all series and they were all going in. It was extremely to witness lol
Murky_Razzmatazz7276
PTSD just kicked in.
bee-eazy13
Jokic hasn’t been as good from 3 this year. So naturally he’ll shoot 60% from deep against us
OkBake4265
He’s like that guy with downs on ig making threes
WhatitdoFlightCrew39
No one cares if they make this shot at the start of the game. It’s only when they make if after we complete a 10-0 run to bring the game within 1 with 30 seconds left.
TreeLankaPresidente
AD just gotta grab him by the belly fat
Cold_Pumpkin_2744
If it does
greyk34
This shot and the Jamal Murray fadeaway with Lebron in his grill made me believe in divine sports intervention. It wasn’t of this earth.
iiivoted4kodos
Triggered!
No_Mongoose_3727
I’m taking a straight shot of Kirkland Signature Vodka for every time he yeets the ball like this and makes it.

Circus shots drove me mad that series. I dont watch a lot of Nugget games but Jokic tends to hit 1 or 2 of those shots when I do.
FuckRandyMoss
Jokic is so aggravating. Mf is so good it doesn’t look like he tries and he completely treats the game like a job. Like jay cutler of basketball dude just shows up like he hates the place drops a quintuple double on your favorite players favorite player then goes home and sits on the couch with a beer or something 🤣
KWash0222
He did it again this year during one of our reg season games. I fucking despise the Nuggs at this point
Ashamed_Ad1839
I can jack up the same shot similar form, and probably won’t even touch the board. 🤣. We’ve been there too many times. Everything goes right on championship run seasons. Crazy shots go in
tehweaksauce
Ah the ol’ trebuchet. Legit shot for sure.
LakerDoc
He’s made a shot like this against us AGAIN during one of the regular season games too.
Legote
I hope they don’t pull that bullshit last year. It killed me everytime Murray and Joker chucked 3’s in front of Lebron and AD’s face
No-More-Excuses-2021
Nuggets have had one more year together. They are set to do this again. I was just telling my wife that I’m so not looking forward to these shots from Joker.
It is going to be painful.
Dubzero34
Play that foo on his right side on them shots, not right in front of him.
mostly_made_up_stuff
That was some Serbian black magic, no way those 3’s should have gone in.
Ealy-24
All the grace of a drunken fawn and he splashes them every single time….
BoomShackaLocka_
AD needs to elevate (off the ground) on Jokic jumpers. Hand in the face isn’t gonna work. (I know there’s more to it than just this) but he needs to JUMP instead of just closing out with hands up.
mikeisbeast
pls someone tell AD to stop trying to block his shots, he should literally snap his fingers right in front of his face in order to affect his nervous system…. jeez tthe lakers should hire me!
Studentdoctor29
The odds are honestly against them, there’s no way this bullshit is a regularity this year. If that’s what they need to win and for jamal to play like Michael Jordan, then I’ll take it.
Weapon530
Noooooooooooooo
mattadeth
I mean, he’s a champion and likely HoF. Lakers gotta show up if they hope to dethrone the champs.
OnlyFansCollecter
I just want AD to play like the player we all know he can be . Win or lose.
Nuna2481
If I’m being honest Murray’s shot while smothered by Bron bothered me a lot more
iamthecheesethatsbig
You should expect it from this guy. Just beat em baby!!
diamondisunbreakable
Would kill myself if this happens
doubler82
Sigh. The kind of ridiculous shots I make against my 2 year old on his 4ft court.
Obvious_Objective_23
I would never watch this sport again and I promise you that
dafuqyouthotthiswas
Jokic an Elden Ring boss. Can’t make a mistake against him
Pauras
This shot and the shot Jamal made when LeBron was guarding him (where LeBron gave Jamal a thumbs up for his shot) still gives me nightmares +_+

Nonameheroz
Play the mental game, bait them into taking more shots like this early in shot clock.
t_mac1
the murray one was even luckier lol. thing is each of these crazy shots happened in very close junctures of the game that killed momentum.
