Best NBA game you ever watched

[BigKAT]

Once more I'll stick to the modern ones,
because it wasn't that exciting to watch games who result I knew beforehand.
Not that it wasn't entertaining, but watching a Celtics- Lakers games from the 80s isn't as fun when you know what's going to happen.


So I'll go with these few, in no particular order

Pacers Vs Heat Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 2013
(Ended with a Lebron James Layup at the last second, I think I was really, really caught off guard by how good the pacers were. I thought the Heat were just going to brutalize them. That series ended up being really cool)

OKC Vs Golden State Regular Season 2016 ]
That game that ended in Overtime with Steph Curry drilling a 500 footer to seal the game. Wow. I was on the edge of my seat like half the overtime period.

Timberwolves Vs Golden State Regular Season 2016
My favorite Wolves game so far, 69win warriors vs 25win Wolves (at the time)

GSW starts the game 28-11, The Wolves manage to catch up but things really stay tight throughout the 4th. Then, with 30 seconds left, Karl Anthony towns is guarding Draymond green in the post, he does not back down and shuffles his feet properly, causing Draymond to get called for a travel.

106-104, Timberwolves ball.

19.8 Seconds to go, Wiggins starts his patented turn-around layup from the free throw line and puts it in above Iggy's head.

106-106. We go to Overtime.

Wolves win it 124-117.



That's mine guys, would love it if you guys shared your favorites.

Definitely this.

George hitting that 3 and getting fouled at the end of over time was just like (no fcking way that pacers are gonna go up over the heat in the ecf in Miami what the fck is going on"

I really started to notice and appreciate Paul George in that series

Kinda sucks to think we didn't have a proper ECF since, huh?

2014 Pacers just weren't the same, were one transcendet PG game from being beat 4-1, 2015 Hawks were a complete joke, and the Toronto raptors looked pretty happy with their two 'Token' wins in the ECF.

But yeah a stepping out party for PG.

Top 5 since 2000, might be missing a game or two

'00 WCF Game 7
'01 Finals Game 1
'02 WCF Game 7
'13 Finals Game 6
'16 Finals Game 7

Definetly good picks from what I understand.
I hear that the Lakers- Blazers series was a bloodbath. I wish I could've seen it live.

The best game I watched live was game 3 of the 1st round of the 2010 Playoffs, Lakers @ Thunder. The crowd was so LIT and I've been chasing that high every since.

I will never forget this sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N7ZwdSCMl8

That crowd.



Home court advantage at it's greatest. Exciting stretch indeed.

Makes me even more mad that Durant left.

Durant hitting those amazing shots and the crowd going insane is what I'm gonna miss most about his tenure there.

06 Mavs - Spurs game 7 - even though the Spurs lost - still one of my favorite games and series.

And for a Spurs fan - nothing can touch 2014 NBA Finals games 3, 4 and 5 - just out of this world play.

2011 Finals , Game 2 .

Honestly, the better, more memorable games I've watched in recent years have been college games.

The best game I think I ever watched was that Duke-Syracuse game a couple years back (2013 or 14). Wichita State-Gonzaga was another awesome game and Kentucky have been in some fun tournament games in the Calipari era: Princeton and Ohio State in 2011, Louisville in 2014 and Notre Dame in 2015 are the ones that spring to mind.

Also, game 7 in this years finals was up there.

This is not what the OP asked, but the two best playoff series in recent memory were the 2009 EC first round between the Bulls and Celtics and the 2014 first round between the Grizzlies and Thunder. Those fourteen games saw eight of them go into at least 1 OT. Game 6 of the aforementioned '09 series went into triple OT.

Triple OT?
What game was that?

Seems like a must-watch.
