Watching a Backdoor Cover Courtside at the Sixers Game Seems Like Personal Hell

No one deserves this. The song is playing. Once the song plays, everyone on both teams should agree no more cardio. Just enjoy bopping to the song. Run out the clock and call it a season, Indiana Pacers. Instead, Gabe York jacks a three with 6.5 seconds left to cover. You could feel the heartbreak in this guys voice:

You can’t convince me Gabe York didn’t know the Pacers line was +14.5. Either he checked it beforehand or overheard one of the equipment guys in the locker room talking about it. He knew. There’s no reason a guy averaging 16% from three is throwing a prayer up there. This is on Isaiah Joe, too. Don’t think I didn’t see you napping in the lane and not closing out hard on your man. This is why we can’t win a championship. These guys don’t play a full 48.
P.S. Doc Rivers definitely somehow blamed Isaiah Joe’s defense on Paul Reed not getting his hand in the passing lane.
