Poor Jason Terry.
Dumb bastard was idiotically fouled by Chuck Hayes in the waning seconds of last night's win over the Houston Rockets down two points.
Terry hits the first freebie. Bricks the second and the ball is knocked out of bounds. All the while, Terry is running down the court, arms flailing in victory and his smile proving that the Mavericks just gained a half game on the Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 2 seed.
Terry thought the Mavericks had won. He thought they were tied. He thought he'd won the game.
Here's a .gif.
Terry:
"Everybody thought that I thought we had won it. I knew we didn't win it. I was just happy they didn't have an opportunity to get a shot at the basket. I'm definitely disappointed I missed, though. I knew it was tied up."
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.
Who the fuck cheers and celebrates like that after an opponent fails to heave an 80-foot buzzer beater that has a .3495 percent chance of going in? Why weren't the other Mavs celebrating? Why is all of this happening to Terry, all at once? The temper tantrums? The shit talking?
However, we might be burying the lead. The fact is, Terry missed the free throw. If there's a big free throw to be missed, Terry's your guy. That dude misses so many important free throws is crazy. The fact that he missed that second one was no surprise. The fact that he didn't know the score was a bit of a surprise.
Your 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks!!!!
