When NBA Players LOSE THEIR MINDS...

This is one of the wildest situations that you’ll ever see in the league. Let me explain. Obviously the game is decided but the whole arena gets a free taco if the Lakers hold Chicago under 100 points. And look what happens. The Bulls knew this and they’re fighting like it’s the playoffs. Just so that the fans don’t get the taco. Look at this fiasco. In one of the most ridiculous sequences that I’ve ever seen, at the very last second, a foul is called and to everyone’s disappointment in the Staples Center the Bulls were actually that petty and got to 100 points.
The NBA has seen its fair share of moments where players act completely opposite of how they normally should, and do things that are unexplainable.
So let’s check out some of those mental lapses. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
Last season the Knicks and the Pelicans played a close game and were tied with 2 second left. Bledsoe has the final shot and misses it. But then look at this. Both teams completely blank out and head to the locker rooms as if the game is decided and over.
We’ve obviously witnessed a situation where a player forgets the score but an entire team to do that? And on top of that both teams? That staggering.
While on this topic let’s quickly mention Derek Harper here who is actually the originator of this.
In game 4 of the 1984 playoffs the game is tied and the Mavs have a chance to win it. But you can see Harper going all the way at half court, and jumps with excitement thinking the’d won, while everyone else looks in disbelief.
So yeah, for all of you younger NBA fans, the legendary J.R. Smith brain freeze in the finals has already been done before, although to Harper’s defense I guess, the stakes weren’t that high.
Smith of course has been involved in another similar miscalculation of time and score.
Tied at the end of the game, with the shot clock expiring, the Knicks hit the rim, and try to reset and hold the ball for the final shot. But the ball finds its way to J.R. who immediately fires away a three and misses it giving the Rockets a chance for the final shot. And yeah, the Knicks eventually lost this game. Smith was asked after the game why he did it, and he straight up said that he thought they were down by 2. Absolutely incredible.
That same season New York fans suffered twice from this type of play. And just check out Walt Fraizer almost crying as he tries to understand what just happened.
Guys let me tell you, as a Knicks fan for 20 years, I’ve seen it all, and I can only laugh now at moments like these.
But if I could at least guess what they were thinking, I certainly cannot do that for P.J. Tucker.
Gordon is clearly inbounding the ball, but P.J. doesn’t want to touch it, giving New York an easy 2 points in a close game. You can see Gordon going crazy as he watches this.
I’m sure this is one of the rare lowlights in Tucker’s career, otherwise always known for his competitiveness and fight on every play.
Similar to that, is this sequence from Kevin Love that I still can’t figure out. He kind of gets pushed on the rebound, and you can see him disappointed under the basket. But then look at this. He just slaps the ball in bounds and as it gets stolen, Love literally doesn’t seem to care and casually walks around not even looking at the action, let alone doing something.
I guess being the only guy left from that championship Cleveland team and now constantly being at the bottom of the standings can sometimes hit hard so there are moments like this.
It’s all good I understand Kevin.
And in this type of video, I have to mention the legendary, iconic Al Horford flinch. He did explain it once as a way to have fun during the game, at the free throw line when the game slows down, but then, there are many of these live play examples, where he does it in the middle of a possession instead of going for the rebound.
And look at this. Dude is literally at the three point line miles away from the shot. There’s no way his depth perception is that messed up.
What’s going through Horford’s mind during these situations is still one of the NBA’s unsolved mysteries.
Also unexplainable is this defense by New Orleans against the Lakers. LA has the ball out of the time out, and you know how teams always inbound under the basket they attack. Well the Lakers sneakily lined up at the opposite basket, and nobody on the New Orleans team remembered that they should defend the other side. So that left Kobe completely uncontested on a fast break, he got the outlet pass, and finished with an easy dunk.
Again, it’s 1 thing if a player has a mental lapse and makes a mistake, but an entire team is unbelievable.
Look at this defense from the Bulls. As Jarret Jack bends down with the ball in his hands to tie his shoes, nobody does a single thing to even try and steal the ball. They all just wait and watch him do his thing.

I love JR man. He's freaking hilarious. Especially with how damn airheaded he can be, and it always seems to happen at the most random moments too. He's the epitome of being high without actually being high. There is two things for sure about him - One is that he clearly has Attention Deficit, and two is that he clearly has bad vision from distance. He's always squinting and straining his eyes to see what the jumbotron, scoreboard and shot clocks say. I actually feel a bit bad for him for the fact all anyone ever wants to remember him for is his airheaded moments.
