The 34-42 Chicago Bulls hosted the Portland Trail Blazers this evening.
There’s nothing I love more than a terrible sequence of possessions in a basketball game.
Well, that’s probably exaggerating a bit.
But I get a kick out of them.
you’re able to hear the Benny Hill music playing in your mind.
It’s like a snowball effect.
And in this case, the hilarious basketball even managed to survive thought an out of bounds turnover.
It looked like two shots somehow managed to hit the underside of the backboard.
When it launches so far backwards that it nearly grazes the scoreboard.
Sometimes (not in this case) it almost makes a dunk cooler.
It really highlights the authority of dunk.
I’ll never forget this one from Victor Oladipo when he was at Indiana.
I guess in hindsight it would be been “cooler” if Oladipo had actually dunked that dunk.
But it’s oddly satisfying to watch.
The air-oop was the real cherry on top.
That what puts it up there with the WOAT’s.
Then you flip back to an NBA game and 7-footers are swishing 3-pointers from the logo.
And teams are doing things like this.
But the NBA isn’t perfect either.
They are fully capable of stringing together multiple YMCA men’s league caliber possessions as well.
But it still happens.
From a playoff team, no less.
It’s always a treat to watch.
Congrats on making the postseason Chicago Bulls.
The championship DVD starts here.
While I’m on the topic, here are some more bad NBA basketball sequences.
