PLAYOFF JAMAL! - Shannon puts respect on Murray’s name after game-winning shot | First Take

after trailing LeBron and the Lakers by as much as 20 points in the second half the Denver Nuggets Jamal Murray hit a buzzer beating shot over Anthony Davis to help Denver take a 20 series lead it was the first ever game-winning buzzer beater in Nuggets playoff history here's Murray I jumped I jumped pretty high I faded a lot and I just lost my balance and fell and uh I just saw the ball over the rim I think ad was in my way or some some somebody was in my way um and I just heard everybody scream that's how I know it went in so that was a pretty cool moment can you take us through that last play and just what happened and what unfolded what was I I don't know if you were screened or what happened on that last play Jamal Murray made a shot yeah of course it's a heartbreaking game you don't never want to lose in that fashion um I don't understand what the I don't understand what's going on in replay Center to be honest I've said it I think I said it this year or last year whatever DLo clearly gets hit in the face on a drive what the do we have a replay Center if it's it's going to go that doesn't it doesn't make sense to me makes no sense to me it bothers me sorry I didn't answer your question but that is like and then I just saw what happened with the uh Sixers Nick game too what are we what are we doing all right ad livid LeBron livid Shannon what do you think was the biggest reason for the Lakers game to collapse but I'm going to let you I'm not going to let y'all have a 20-point lead and then blame the officials that you guys lost Anthony Davis scored zero points over the last 19 minutes of the game in the final 22 minutes of this ball game they shot 36% made 12 shots they had six turnovers four assists that's what cost you the game come on man we got hey in the second half of the ball game legs I know you and stepen Stephen I don't know if you were home at the time but what they did is that they saw yoke had no answer they switch Aaron Gordon onto Anthony Davis they put kcp on LeBron and LeBron hovering around you know he got the ball He Go Pro Set the screen get the ball give it give it to the hand and he had there Dilly ding around backing him down shot at Bull Jive after bull Jive turnover after turnover no that's what costus you guys the game when you had a 20-point lead in early in the third quarter that's when you needed to step on their necks come fourth quarter the guys hey hey Mike Malone take everybody out of the game say hey we don't lost this let's get ready for game let's get ready for game three n this was on you Lakers Anthony Davis cannot ad had one shot in the fourth quarter he scored zero points over the last 19 minutes of the ball game ruy I don't know maybe he talked to Michael Porter Jr brother because I think he took the under on the 10 points that that uh the B sits had him I'm saying that tongue and cheek but I'm say bro how you miss that many easy layups how you have three points Stephen A I told you yesterday I said DLo gonna have at least five threes I say Ad will do what he did LeBron to do what he did I'm picking the Lakers to win this game for the simple fact DLo it's all I hate saying this and they going to give you all this culture speak like hey hey we just got to come out and play When your two big guns are firing pretty much all night and you get DLo to give you what he gave you and you lose the game there's nothing more demoralizing than that because we can't play any better from our two big guns and then we give you DLo set a Lakers playoff record with threes in a game made threes nah that's on you Lakers give the nuggets credit because they hung around hung around Michael Porter Jr make big shot after Big Shot we know what yoke is Jamal Murray play Jamal Murray hey Paul George give that man that name playoff Jamal that's his name because no matter how bad he's playing he had six points going into the fourth quarter he ended with 20 that's all you need to know Shannon sha I appreciate and uh sensitive to your emotions about this because they're your Lakers and you know obviously you know it hurts you it hits you hard and I understand whatever I I understand Shannon I really really do but you know I'm not going to let you off that easy my brother yes Anthony Davis goes scoreless the last 17 minutes by the way fourth quarter what did he do zero points attempted one shot in 10 minutes I mean damn you you can't do that that is true but the same Anthony Davis is averaging 32 and 12 on 62% shooting in this series let's let's let's let's let's pump the breaks on getting on him too much no no no no I no I can't I can't beat him up too bad much now you've run into the on the Block the reigning defending NBA champions and so as a result of that year you might have kentavius kcp guarding you up front out on the perimeter but the second you penetrate you make a move there's a collapse on you and it's a wall of people there who who obviously are your size and they serve as an impediment you need the other cats to step up you brought up their bench I'm looking at the Lakers bench right now in his first two games torian Prince 17 points the rest of the AK bench zero in the first two games nothing notada and by the way only attempted three shots so what do you out there for what purpose serve what do you do cardio that's really what it is cardio in last cardio put in cardio that's it cuz they damn sure ain't playing basketball and so I look at that but also sh Shay last but not least I mean I do appreciate the greatness of LeBron James I'm looking at the numbers here 26 and 12 and eight we understand that two big time three-pointers let's give him credit for that you understand but he he did have a wide openen three at the key you know in those last seconds he missed it and that's when Murray and them got the ball back and was able to close the deal you didn't have to shoot you didn't have to you didn't have to take three leg before you go but help me answer this there's a sixc there's a six sixc time differential between the shot clock and the game clock why would you take that shot so early in the shot clock that's right I'm hey I'm taking that shot with two seconds at the lead at the max I'm not giving them a full 13 Seconds come on but but that's you tell statically doing that what I'm saying Shannon is he's wide open he's wide open and he had made the others but when it's tied and the game's on the line and he's got that spot he missed it we got to make it yeah all right to your point about that specific play I'm going to tell you exactly why that happened actually saying I think it might even been less than that I think it was just a little over 5 Seconds difference so you're right they could have taken that all the way down taking that shot within two three on the clock right by the time of balls in the air travels hits the rim comes up one way or another nuggets probably have about 3 to 4 seconds right you're you're right here's what happened he wasn't intending to shoot that basketball kcp fell and slid 15 ft away from him to the point where he is literally standing there without anybody within 15 ft of him so now he gathers his feet and he's he's thinking well this is the best look we're going to get on this possession is this right here particularly when he felt like he was in pretty good rhythm with his jump shot and that's why he took it it just worked out on I'm telling you kcp doesn't fall that that Ball's going to get worked on that clock and they're going to end up taking a shot probably with about 5 seconds left and Denver's got very little time at the end of that make or Miss I think it was just unfortunate kcp fell left LeBron that open he figured this the best shot we're going to get he took it he stepped into it he didn't make it look the bottom line is you said it they were one jump shot short and it wasn't just LeBron Roy hachimura had a wide open Corner three Austin Reeves had a wide open naked look I don't know why they got away from the two-man game with LeBron and AD that they were having so much success with to get the lead that's all they were doing was either LeBron turn the corner and go ad screen and dive to the middle of the floor or ad after it roll into the post and operate oneon-one they were scoring every trip they get up 20 nuggets start cutting into it it's like they got tight and they went away from that chanet I don't know why because the Nuggets didn't have an answer they were going to have to force an adjustment that they never really had to get to because the Lakers stop running that particular set um the last thing I want to say is this we're talking a lot about yage get one-on-one coverage when it's a 20-point lead you play him one-on-one because three-pointers are going to erase that deficit quickly when that thing got down to 10 eight and you're letting him operate with unlimited dribbles in the post against Anthony Davis this it's not like are you going to get a good shot it is certain he is going to score there is a certainty to it at that point I think you need to DARE kcp Aaron Gordon leave him at the three-point line get the ball to jokic's hands they decided to roll with single coverage that entire time and joic basically eliminated that lead pretty much by himself that's another a questionable strategy I thought out of Lakers down stretch last time go ahead goad Ste was think about it the Lakers hit a three-point shot they're up three joic is trying to draw the foul he almost turns the ball over the Lakers almost get it Gordon beats them to the ball he throws in mpj and the next uh uh yeah M uh and the next thing you know is a tie ball game how unlucky or how unfortunate for the Lakers you're up three you're about to get a turnover at work case secure a loose ball and instead of being up with the basketball by three you're in a tie ball game sometimes the stars are line for you and sometimes the stars are line against you and last night yep couple of things number one LeBron that last time he was in that kind of position you know in in a postseason he missed the three but Bosch grabbed a rebound hit Ray Allen and Ray Allen hit that corner three in the finals okay he didn't missed it last night uh unfortunately it gave Jamal Murray the ball Ru haimura five points per game on 27% shooting come on man come on man got to do better got to do better and by the way we enough of the niceties with Austin Reeves we like him we know he can play we've seen flashes of his growth and how I mean he been around long enough now 11 points three of 11 shooting you're starting shooting guard man you got to do more you got to do more and he's not doing that and somehow someway he's going to have to get it together as well all Ry has to do is give you season average AAR Reed give you your give us give the Lakers their SE your season average that's it LeBron is giving you his average ad is eight points above his average that's right you guys are way below your average DLo gave you seven threes I would say steepen I say Stephen he gonna give you at least five he ain't going from one for n gave you seven he gave you seven he gave you seven you had a 20po lead in the second half in the second half and you gave it up and then you blame the officials no man I can't I can't rock like that yeah I hear you on the LeBron thing like that comment that's a play from earlier in the game had no bearing on the outcome of the game that to me is a deposit for future returns he's trying to maybe make a statement about going forward and getting calls and whatnot that had nothing to do we all we just broke down everything that happened in the fourth quarter I want to say one last thing that Aaron Gordon play that is going to be like not talked about enough that 50/50 ball he had with Austin Reeves on the Baseline saved the game I mean that ball is right there in the air and he just a little bigger than Austin Reeves a little stronger they both got there at the same time his ability to wrestle it away from him look down stay in bounds find Porter to make a contested three that is other than obviously the gamewinner that is the play that you look at it's amazing how Champions find ways man they believe you said they down 20 they didn't seem stressed not at all we're going to make a run they're not worried about the L Shannon real quick I just want to ask you this do you feel like the series is over being being an ex athlete you hate saying a series over because the that's why we play the games but when you play as well as they played when you get what you got from ad you get what you got from Brun and you get what you got from DLo you had a 20-point lead we've seen it's the play out last year remember that first game 80 gave you everything you lose that one the second game you play better you lose that one LeBron gives you 40 and you have a 10-point lead at the half you give that up and you get swept you have 11-point lead in game one you lose that you have a 20-point lead into the third quarter 15-point lead at the half there has to be doubt in your mind what can we do to beat this team don't hey I know what they're going to say I was once upon a time a pretty good professional athlete and I know the mindset that you have to to have but after somebody continually whip your ass you're like I I don't know what else I need to do Stephen A I mean we had them down by 20 ad gives us 30 32 and 14 LeBron gives us 26 12 and 8 right well listen Shannon Shannon welcome home baby welome that's all right your day coming your day coming your day coming is is over it's over you know saying and ain't winning I mean it's it's over it's over you know and I'm going to say this and listen Mar respect I'm sad that the Lakers ended up going against Denver because if it were anybody else they wouldn't be in this situation personally but the one team that would put them in the situation has put them in the situation it's not just that you were up 20 in the second half it was gone inside of 10 minutes just like that Denver said y'all ready let let let's samp this up and they came and when they came at the Lakers the Lakers looked shook they looked shook it's just the truth yeah this is over I mean I don't think they're going to get swept I think the Lakers can find a way to win they better win game three they won't win game four they better win game three but they look sh they have to win a road game in this series they have to win a road game when are you going to have opport they win game right now they got to win the game they're both straight correct correct that was their shot to Wi on the road guys [Music] he [Music]
