16 seconds left clips up 7 and Deng hits a 3. Bulls foul now down 4 and Corey Maggette goes to the line and makes 1st but misses 2nd with 6 seconds left.. Clips up 5.
Curry somehow gets a dunk with 3 seconds left to cut it to 3...fukk!! How the fk you let them get a deuce in that short of time? Ok well at least I'll push or hopefully bulls foul. Foul! 1.8 seconds left!
Some jerkoff I can't remember who goes to the line and misses the first..I'm stressing I'm gonna lose this win with a stupid push...makes the 2nd..thank you!!! Cover up 4!!! 1.8 seconds left bulls down 4 they're done!
I will never ever forget the next moment. I was on the phone with my buddy throughout the whole final 5 minutes of the game and was celebrating getting unstuck from my bookie.
Bulls inbound with 1 second left down 4 and Kirk Heinrich throws up a meaningless half court shot. Swish. Final score 97-96, clips win by 1. I dropped the phone and collapsed on the shitty ass motel bed wondering how this could happen to me.
To this day every time I suffer a bad beat in sports/casino/poker my buddy says "you just got Heinriched"
