Its almost impressive to lose that

If anyone can, it's the bulls baby 🙃

WhosYourPapa

This lob was Jalen Johnson


Tigerskippy

In overtime with 122 points too!


[deleted]

Bulls have had like 5 seasons worth of absurd losses in 1/4 of a season.


KneelJung2001

Bulls basketball baby... We’re here to impress. ✨

bryanl12

This game was an emotional roller coaster Gotta love that Duke to Duke connection right there


[deleted]

Trae won it, then Derozan won it, then AJ won it


Burnem34

3 go-ahead buckets in the last 1 second, wild


3dymesdown

Derrick Jones could have won it


Merid1us

Well he tied it so... At least he was close.


neutronicus

The vibes in this game were so bad all around that it came back to lit Kind of like the Dia de los Muertos of basketball games


Davidclabarr

This is so true. Both fanbases game threads just dooming and rising up and dooming and rising up again. Turnovers and terrible BBIQ. It had it all.


OfferOk8555

I turned it after Demar FTs and found out we won like 2 minutes ago what a roller coaster


Davidclabarr

Also, randomly, I can’t prove this but I think this one play is the sole time AJ touched the ball the entire overtime.


OfferOk8555

Yeah I can’t remember for sure. But to be fair he was really bricking towards the end of the game.


rickrollin

Them Duke boys at it again


falconhawk2158

Yeeeeeeeeeee haaawwwwwww


jimmythejammygit

"Dookie to dookie" as the hawks commentator said. Pretty harsh for two dudes that just connected for a game winner.


[deleted]

People from duke don’t say that shit it’s cringe as fuck


bryanl12

Our regular play-by-play commentator had a seizure and this guy is the temporary replacement. We all want Bob back for sure


Davidclabarr

Honestly Mike or whatever his name is did a killer job tonight and I’d rather have him on this specific call for sure. But Bob is my favorite in the world and I can’t wait to have him back. That Nique and Bob chemistry is best in the league.


pln1991

I mean, they definitely do, though they don't spell it that way, lol


[deleted]

Yeah Dook is the Carolina chirp.


tvchase

yea nahhh i gotta pop an aspirin dude


durklil

Don’t know if a lot of Duke alumni/fans still accept Jalen but I remember being excited for him.


watchmewhip23

WHAT A WILD END TO A GAME! 3 game winners in under 2 seconds.


statefarm_insured

Everyone was clutch. I almost shut the game off after the Derozen free throws.


Di11enger

I didnt even think there was any time left on the clock when I saw Demar had FTs wtf, what a play and sequence. Hawks and Bulls fans surely need some blood pressure meds lol


Nope-Rope-h8r

there wasn’t initially, it was added


OfferOk8555

I just found out we won 😂😂😂


Sim888

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK LOL


Hooligan8

THAT IS MY FUCKIN ROOK


braggpeak

Bogi owes him lmao


Davidclabarr

They both comically owe each other. Both of them tried to sell this game ahaha


Renverseur

Two game winners baby


Sim888

gg! a game winner like that was definitely on brand for this game lmao


theDrunkWookie

Both teams tried losing. Y'all just wanted it more


LukaDoncicBigPP

AJ Griffin and lobbed up buzzer beater, named a better duo.


[deleted]

Gotta say this had to be the only game so far this season with that many highlights/near finishes. Bulls missed FTs to send it into OT, bogi gets behind the backboard shot, Trae to make the 2 pts in OT with 1s, derozan foul, and finally this to top it off.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OfferOk8555

Same here friend. I turned it off after Demar made the FTs reeling from watching the Hawks drip another game in the 4th so I know literally exactly how you feel😂😂😂


slipperypooh

Told my wife they were lobbing it in for the dunk during the timeout. I was only slightly wrong. Smh.


BigBoyFroggy

THERES NO WAY THAT JUST HAPPENED WTFFFF


Few_Mulberry7175

Just to confirm, did he in fact, get it?


BigBoyFroggy

He, in fact, did


OfferOk8555

Here’s it in [slow motion](https://streamable.com/na5h67) I thought it was deserving of its own post because this one’s so short and it’s not like this place is that busy on a Monday morning but mods still tripping over it… oh well.. I actually have shit to do today unlike r/nba mods so I’ll just leave it here😎


[deleted]

This game made zero sense


TheCity95

It feels like every time we play the Hawks, crazy shit happens, especially when it's in the ATL.


Will_McLean

It was absolutely drunk off its ass

Absolutely off its tits

Never thought I’d see 3 buzzers beaters in 1 game


Tressticle

>Never thought I'd see 3 buzzers beaters in 1 ~~game~~ second FTFY


[deleted]

Roy/Yao/Roy also did it in final 2 seconds. Roy made one of the most boneheaded fouls ever and it actually ended up winning the game for Portland. If Roy didn't foul Yao then the game goes into OT, but because he fouled Yao the clock stopped at 0.8 and Yao got to shoot a FT to give the Rockets the lead. Roy responded by drilling the game winner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61dRAp0voaM

WestleyThe

The presence of mind to catch that pass with your back to the basket and only 0.5 on the clock in mid air is insane Wow


HamlnHand

Basically Michael Jordan


Alexkono

AJ is a beast


ScootUnmanley

Chicago Bulls basketball


braggpeak

Right before this was Atlanta Hawks basketball. Truly an all time battle to lose


BestCruiser

They're still paying the price for MJ. We're still paying the price for being an Atlanta sports team.

And we’ve been reaping the consequences ever since


grxvis

But before that too


lit282

After Demar was so clutch too


DystopiaX

Needed to take a lesson from van gundy "we form a fucking wall here"


Cvnilivee

This is the craziest ending I’ve seen in a while


Unciano404

AJ said he got a good look, yeah if he got eyes at the back of his head. lmao...


Davidclabarr

Lmfao in the air against Derozan facing away from the basket with .5 seconds left.


whatweshouldcallyou

JR watching saying "man that would have been a good look if he had been twenty feet further out"


donotnut459

Bro has more buzzard beater game winners than Steph


AnEmptyKarst

> buzzard beater I think that counts as animal abuse


OfferOk8555

AJ so lethal he ain’t won’t those Buzzards stealing his kills


eatscheeks

I can’t believe my eyes, I swear these oob lob plays never work. Watching him contort in the air was incredible


aali34

He has really good body control. Makes some tough shots that some players shouldn't even attempt.


streetsandshine

Cam Reddish, but good


AnyNobody7517

Usually the defense makes sure to have some size in the paint and not let the other team clear them out like that.


OfferOk8555

Trae in motion creates massive amounts of space here… it’s fair that Bulls though Trae would get the final shot.. but definitely overcommitted and left the weak side completely open.


aapox33

Inexcusable bulls D imo


traebucketsfor3

What a pass by JJ


here_for_the_lols

Didn't know AJ stood for Actually Jesus


aali34

He might take offense to that lol. He's a devout christian based on his tweets.


capelaMVP

His TikTok is him reciting stuff from the Bible lol


Arjun_311

Lmaooo. Ye no if u called him actually Jesus he would pull out some bible from his back pocket and flip to a page instantly and read sum random verse abt how nobody shall masquerade as Jesus or sum


DueIdeal723

The way Dejounte tries to wobble to AJ is making me laugh 😂😂


ToyStoryRex97

I didn’t notice that until you said it😂


jimmythejammygit

Now that is a game winner. Bogie going to give him some pleasure tonight to say thanks for saving his ass.


Hooligan8

AJ fouled at the end of regulation allowing them to tie too. Huge redemption play for AJ too!


actingpaul1

that was more on the team not being able to secure the defensive board tbh


Prowlerbaseball

I wanna watch 😳


dangheckinpupperino

I know no one will believe me but this is the second time I turned the game off with time left and AJ Griffin hits a game winner This is the way


bruhdotjaypeg

I feel yah. There was a lakers game tying score that led to them winning the game and I just turned it off the game too early.


WeenisWrinkle

Big steal of this draft.

Ain’t even halfway through the season either.

ACTUALLY JESUS


Renverseur

Actually Jesus has a clutch gene fr


Kataneo

What was that overtime


jimmythejammygit

Can someone please get the grab where the hawks commentator says "That's dookie to dookie for the win". Will be hilarious out of context.


yellowwithstripes

Bogi is building an AJ Griffin shrine in his bedroom as we speak


hockeydavid97

Mines been done for an hour


Huhiiiiii

Incredibly dumb defensive scheme


OO17MVP

2ND GAME WINNER OF THE SEASON FOR HIM OMFG HE'S ONLY 19 YEARS OLD


OfferOk8555

2nd game winner for the 2nd youngest player in the NBA

Dude wtf


zrizzoz

junkboy0

Great great great game and great way to end after Bogi made that boneheaded foul! He owes AJ a beer!


falconhawk2158

Aj isn’t even old enough to drink it if he did maybe some cool-aid any flavor


Smooth-Trip69

Too young to drink.


xychosis

This is fucking insanity what lmao


AjwChicago23

The Bulls giveth and the Bulls taketh away. This team fuels my depression.


LawdBeast

When I say seasonal depression, I don’t mean winter. I mean basketball season


Cheechers23

AJ Griffin one of the most clutch rookies, holy That's his second buzzer beater layup off a lob this season


IJvstheworld

INSANE


first-and-10

Another one


Giddey_Cent

This game was #WILD


mojo_magnifico

I'm sick.


Drylanders

Raptors fans know this feel :(


BigBitcoinBaller

I don't get how he has enough time? I would have thought had to be catch and quick shoot. He caught in air and clutched then shot. My eyes are deceiving me


HamlnHand

Yeah watching live I thought no way he had enough time. He caught it and turned his body so fast somehow


Tracy140

That’s a lot for a half second - he caught it two hand, twisted and shot - no way that’s a half second


Lucdhx

this kid can ball


Adaml105

Griffin is a Stud. Need his jersey. Now!!


fenderdean13

All I can say is LOL, what the fuck?


aviary618

Can you just chuck the ball into the crowd after the game? Lol Trae just yeeted it …


Davidclabarr

As a fan, yes. Please.


HamlnHand

Not sure, but I don't think Trae particularly cares if you're allowed to do that or not. But I just went back and watched it and it looks hilarious now that you mentioned it. Dude is such a menace all the time for no reason lol


Bababooey98

I have no idea why teams even bother to guard the inbounder in this situation.


Prowlerbaseball

Make it harder to get a free passing lane, maybe you redirect a passing attempt


OO7plus10

Forget about actually redirecting the pass. If you get so much as a fingertip on the ball, the clock immediately starts running and then game is over before any shot attempt.


improvementsoup

This was the second inbound. The first had Trae trying to inbound against Vuc he couldn’t get anything because Vuc is a foot taller with reach. Hawks called time out and put JJ in to inbound instead. Trae gets a free inbounds in the first scenario if no one’s guarding it.


[deleted]

I came like the Zepplin


irish8722

He’s so damn good!!!!!!!!!


JW1T

If I had a dollar for every buzzer beater game winning alleyopp layup from AJ this year...


getmyjuicesflowing

Insane


Moekazool

NEVER IN DOUBT


jkstaples

That’s one of the toughest shots I’ve ever seen


The-Pharcyde

AJ Griffin already the GOAT game winning alley ooper.


imperialmoose

Sad mooing

Steal of the draft


goofygoober2

Are we sure this is a rookie


falconhawk2158

Dude I have jerseys older than him by a lot.


LocalParanoiac

WOW


sprewellchokes

Much better game than SNF


abo09

There he goes.


APx_22

How do you not defend the lob in that situation lol


Dannyzavage

Clock didnt star for a bit. He was able to catch and rotate a bit with the clock stuck at .05 lol wtf


ovalseven

I just viewed it frame-by-frame. The video is 30 frames per second. He was touching the ball for 15 frames. That's .5 seconds. Great job by the clock operator.


Robinsonirish

One of the most insane buzzer beaters in recent memory. After 9hrs up on reddit, only 300 replies. Can't get much more *Atlanta Hawks* than that.


Yoesito

I wanna kill myself


irish8722

Yo be cool to the bulls fans man Wait


pln1991

Don't mind if I do


_Elder_

Bulls fans are hurting tonight.


Ninjapirate2000

I can't believe the defense allowed that


DemarcounteAldrayzan

Not sure how you want that defended, AJ is not facing the bucket anymore, thats a difficult off balance shot lol


Ninjapirate2000

I was thinking they would crowd the basket more since there's only .5 left, I'd rather let them shoot a mid range or 3 than a lob.


OfferOk8555

Trae in motion brings Demar with him creating a crazy amount of space weak side. It’s fair that they thought Trae would take that final shot but they overcommitted. I actually think the dude covering AJ is doing pretty solid, AJ just slips through the back door and beats him


OhhWowzers

No fucking way lol wow


kimoalmoa

Actually game lmao

how do you lose that

Shot of the year so far


sh0tgunben

Candidate for buzzer beater of the season...


myusrnameisthis

On the gamecast it said there was .1 seconds left after Derozan hit his fts. I messaged my friend who is a bulls fan and said nice win. He said they lost. Lol wtf!


AnonymousIguana_

Griffin is actually that guy
