    And then Tyreke Evans actually hit the game winning shot at the end.

    Now THAT was a major league play. He delivered the goods.

    The Kings have replaced the Warriors for 2nd place behind the Blazers for watching west coast homes games late in the evening. I almost never go to bed early because one of those two teams will have a home game.

    JR Smith can shoot but other than that he is a clown seriously.

    The one thing I like about his game is in that situation you knew he was going to take it to the whole instead of settling for a long jumper.

    Before that shot that Billups 3 was beautiful.

    That crazy shot by Billups was what made Evans' game-winner so sweet. I think the Kings would have crumbled in OT if Evans hadn't closed it out.

    The rest of the players thought it went in too, because they were ready to go to the other side of the court. Were they also high?

    nah it seemed that the nuggets were getting ready for the outlet pass to get on offense, and the kings players thought JR had the board and were jogging back on D, cause at the end of the clip, you see a couple of kings pointing at JR to the refs when he stepped out of bounds.

    still, just terrible.

    Maybe the other players starting running the other way because they thought Smith had the rebound.

    If you look at Billups closely he starts running because he's expecting to start a fast break after the miss.

    Yeah I agree. They have given away a few games this year down the stretch. Glad to see them win that one.

    That's typically what you do when possession changes, be it off a rebound or a made shot.

    LOL honestly i don't blame him at all. he was not really staring at the baseket when it airballed because he was trying to box out. He only caught the end when the ball brushed the net. plus he was standing at a weird angle.

    this actually happened to me once while i was playing ball

    yup, it's happened to me before. it happens at an angle. He probably just saw the net move and heard the swish.
