The worst NBA playoff game was over 48 minutes of garbage time

- When the Denver Nuggets visited the New Orleans Hornets for game four of their 2009 playoff series, hope still existed in the world. But as soon as they tipped off, that flew out the window...or tried to fly out the window but completely missed, hitting the side of the arena, and comically making its way into the trash can. This game had everything in the most "nothing" sense of the term.

And 13 years later, Chris Paul is back, together with his fellow Suns to play the worst playoff game 7 in the history of the NBA against the Mavs.
I was gonna say it now has to be that game, or memphis golden state game 5 when Memphis won by 55 lol
The worst Game 7 was the 2005 first round when the Mavs raped the Rockets and beat them by 40.
@@railenherman6482still using that verb in 2022?
@@User45x92 Yes
Because of that game no one remembers the other game 7 that night, where the Celtics completely dominated the Bucks in a 30 pt blowout. Any other night that game would've been a huge deal but because a way bigger blowout upset happened in the West nobody cares about it (besides Celtics and Bucks fans obviously) lol
Yes let's please call them The Hornies from now on
INTROVERTOMEGA yeah nugs vs hornies
@adamsilver do it for the people
thanks, i hate it
you have the perfect picture for your comment
This is the Pelicans franchise in this game, not the Charlotte Hornets, who are truly the Charlotte Bobcats. I don't like when they re-write the history book just to make it "simpler"
The Hornets turned into 2K rookie mode CPU
Statutory Grape 100 User 0 CPU
Nah.. Rookie mode cpu would beat this team
The Hornies actually played worse than when you're up against the AI on Pro diff with Simulation sliders
HAHAHAHA
With all 0 sliders on the CPU, and 100 on the user.
"Foul and free throws, foul and free throws, turnover, foul and free throws, turnover, turnover"
Then they finish of with an airball
The Hornies
😂😂😂
No wonder CP3 left
AD bout to slide to LA too ;)
Sounds like James Harden if you aks me
CP3 seems to have this problem on every team he plays for in the playoffs.
Nugs vs Hornies
Or, in other words, a normal James Harden game
where's jon bois
you guys we're really sick of those comments, right?
Where's the capital letters? I thought you were staffed with graduated journalists.
michael hall nice one michael 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I mean, we just got an hour of him. That should hold us for... about an hour.
Our lord and saviour has returned, and now we know he is well, let us enjoy the many other fruits on offer :)
I thought I was going to live the rest of my life forgetting I was at this game... nope. Thanks a lot 🙄
My condolences
Bless your heart
Poor guy
Oof.
Were u going for denver or new orleans
"I think I left the lights on at home"😂😂😂
Anthony Freeman He looked lost 😂
"Wait what do you mean i can't tank during the playoffs?" - Byron Scott, probably.
I cant Believe this was 10 years ago
Wtf
11
11 now
11 but still
what do you think chris paul did in another life to have his prime wasted on the hornets?
Probably killed someone because he has the worst luck of anyone in the NBA
Murdered Pistol Pete
Got a hamstring injury.
Played Cliff Paul in a state farm commercial.
Idk man you should ask AD clearly he did whatever it was too
Good that you´re not seeing my life ..
That´s more than 26 years of garbage time
too relatable
Is it 27 now?
@@thelastkimyerim18 It is 27 now ...
Xendo I’m only at 21, but I’ll get there soon.
2:19 look at the crowd, now go to 5:33 and look at the crowd
Leaving is *WAY* better than seeing your team being outscored by double their points 😂
LOL at 2:19 everyone had the entire seats filled and at 5:33 there was like almost nobody left XD that’s hilarious
JR Smith would be apart of this.
Openingband lmao, atleast he was on the winners side
@@bsimmonds1733 I mean he could have been as well in Game 1 of the 2018 Finals against the Warriors as well but we all know how that went
Didn't realize that Earl Joseph Smith III has been in the league that long.

@@AEMoreira81 he an old head
"Foul and free throws, foul and free throws, turnover, foul and free throws, turnover, turnover" Your average James Harden game lol
and they gave him an MVP for that, too. Makes me hurt in my heart place.
Fritz Fauber To be fair after Giannis he would be MVP this year too. He earned it last year. And as for this year, 36 a game is 36 a game no matter how he got them. It’s not his fault the nba lets him travel on his stepbacks, he’s just taking advantage of what they give him. Same for the fouls, that shit he was doing the other day in the playoffs where he’d kick his legs out, yeah he did that bull all season and a lot of times they’d call a foul on the defense just cause James kicked his feet forward. But you still can’t fault him for continuing to do it, I mean they kept calling it so why not? And he’s still, regardless of that, one of the best scorers in the league. His stepbacks, including when he doesn’t travel, is unstoppable. His finishing ability is overshadowed by his shooting and he’s a great ball handler and passer, although he can be reckless at times. And there’s nothing wrong with scoring points off of free throws, points are points.
@@yeeticus6928 Ballad of Gay Phil
Aditya Singh ❤️
@@yeeticus6928 36 a game is easy in todays era. Its just shot attempts. ITs just usually the average superstar plays in the flow of the offense so they don't end up with 36 a game. Unlike James Hardbrick.
This was the moment when Byron Scott went from a "good not great" coach to a bad coach. The story after the game was that his team quit on him
scott made 2 nba finals won coach of the year and was 1 game from the west finals in 08..how did he lose his team so quickly?..
Honestly says more about the players, doesn’t it?
chairmanofrussia no. It doesn’t.
Byron Scott is an awful fucking coach that is terrible at player relations. Just ask any team of his after this one.
The only dude he would compliment on the Lakers was a shadow of Kobe Bryant that was literally a detriment and wholly ineffective his last 2 years he actually played. Never had a nice thing to say about anyone on his teams.
Tanking or not he was fucking atrocious and I hope he never curses another team with his presence again.
Edward Irra you shouldn’t need constant affirmation. It’s a battle and he’s your general. He isn’t your buddy. The Tyran “unqualified to be a HC but I’m buddies with the players” Lue method is absurd and unsustainable. Why even have a head coach if he’s just going to be chief cheerleader. It’s like how MLB managers are now basically just psychologists for the clubhouse, while nerds in back rooms tell them what on-field decisions to make.
Lol yes. All his New Jersey Nets juice was lost. I think it definitely showed that CP3 and Jason Kidd, were the reasons why those consistently struggling franchises overachieved, during coach Scott's run as head coach over those two organizations.
Just so there's no confusion: This isn't the Charlotte Hornets we're talking about in this video. This is the New Orleans Hornets, aka the Pelicans. At the time the team that is now the Charlotte Hornets was the Charlotte Bobcats.
JG124 Yes, because the original Charlotte Hornets *went* to New Orleans.
...because the New Orleans Jazz went to Utah.
@@TornaitSuperBird Was it before or after the Nets left New Jersey?? 😂😂
It’s kinda interesting that the new Charlotte Hornets pretty much adopted the old Charlotte Hornets history even though that technically belongs to the Pelicans, since the old Charlotte Hornets became the New Orleans Hornets who became the New Orleans Pelicans and the new Charlotte Hornets used to be the Charlotte Bobcats, who were known for pretty much nothing other than getting the good years of Gerald Wallace and the early years of Kemba.
This is making my head hurt

"want to leave early to beat the traffic?"
"But the 2nd quarter just started... sure, I guess"
2022 western conference semi finals game 7
The new worst playoff game
Watching CP3 put on an absolute embarrassment tonight made me think of this video immediately
The clock rage quitting the server is my favorite part of this.
That title continues to crack me up. Not 48 minutes of garbage time, OVER 48 minutes of garbage time. 🤣
I love how you can progressively see the seats starting to empty in the 3rd quarter
Thanks for this torturous memory. As a New Orleanian and Hornet/Pelican fan this truly hurt me bad when this happened. I tried to forget about it but you brought it all back. That's cold.
me clicking video: "how can there possibly be more than 48 minutes of garbage time if the game is only 48 minutes long, which would mean it went into overtime and therefore there couldn't have been garbage time?"
video: here's this neat trivia nugget about a clock malfunction
and thus it all came together
Still asking for the Worst American League game, Aug. 22, 2007: Texas Rangers 30 - Baltimore Orioles 3. First three innings alluded to the possibility if an actually good game, being 5-3 until the sixth inning, where the Rangers belted 9 unanswered. The Orioles then sorta give up, making no more runs for the rest of the game and giving p 10 more runs in the 8th. But the Rangers have smelt blood and they intend to feast, hitting the resigned Orioles for another 6 runs in the 9th inning to make a nice, round 30-3 blowout.
Don't forget the fact that Wes Littleton earned a 9 out save!
And don't forget the fact that Orioles got through the game on four pitchers. And that the Rangers pitcher actually recorder a save lol
Uuuuuuuuugh...don't remind me of that game. 😭
is that really worse than any game that involved the 2018 Oriole?.
How about the red sox smoking the Marlins for 10 runs in the top of the first inning before a single out was made.
I love CP3, but it’s funny how he was a part of this game AND game 7 vs the Mavs this year.
now Chris is getting blown out by 33 this time to dallas
SB Nation talking more about the Nuggets in this video than the rest of sports media out there
that 09 nuggets team with nene k mart melo jr billups jones birdman kleiza hart balkman carter petro was actually pretty decent ..they could of won it all...they were a few bad inbounds passes away from possibly sweeping la and making the finals vs the magic so...
At least hes not talking about los angeles
Swept 🤡🤡
i also noticed the crowd decreasing in attendance HAHAHAHA
4:31 Stojakovic.... WOOOWW!!!. WAIT A SECOND
The 2009 Nuggets were wildly underrated
Yeah but the Lakers were too much for them
Stop it. Kobe was too much for them, not the Lakers.
This is when the era they were calling them the Thuggets. The crazy part JR and Birdman was just playing for the Hornets a couple of years before this.
"We got a playoff game that was so ghastly, James Naismith would have regretted coming up with the sport in the first place."
3:09 James harden is jealous
lol!
This is like your 2k game when you play so well that you got a 50 point lead.
Hugo the Hornet “lol we’re f*cked”. Made me lol not gonna lie
Of course JR was apart of the worst playoff game ever played
of the 5 hornets scrub bench guys that played in that 4th quarter beatdown 2 of them won national titles in college and 2 won nba titles ..the lone loser was julian wright...what a bum...
He was on the positive side of it though.
@@tyre04 still, he plays for the worst NBA Playoffs game ever
When you said Renaldo Balkman I thought you made a mistake in saying Rolando Blackman then I paused and was like wait he never played for the nuggets 😂
2:43 I love how you emphasize how absurd it is for Chris Andersen to mimic Kobe Bryant, and succeed at doing it lmao.
This series needs a redux lol i find myself rewatching these videos
Keep it up please 🔥👌
Some other unmentioned "worst" stats:
This game featured five technical fouls.
The Hornets committed 26 turnovers. I hope someone can find a record of the most turnovers committed by a team in a game or in a playoff game, because I tried but couldn't.
EDIT: I found that the Bulls and Warriors are tied for the most turnovers in a playoff game at 36. So, the Hornets are not the worst in that regard, but still pretty terrible. And it was a playoff record for their franchise.
4:17 I vividly remember Peja whiffing this exact same 3 Pointer from the exact same spot in that 2002 WCF Game 7 at home vs the Lakers. I swear the shot touched nothing but a rebounder this exact same way, completely choked it
That actually happened?
I just died the moment he said 3 foot growth spurt 🤣🤣🤣
I liked when you would do more research into the wider context of what was going on in the world at the time. I know it's more work and you end up covering a lot of the same ground. But that was my favorite part of these. I'm one of those that doesn't really like sports but loves this channel.
WE LIKE SPORTS AND WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS
From shooting hoops, to the Super Bowl!
That's sad...
Football football football hockey tennis, golf!
Pass me the rock, now pass me the rock!
What what what what what what
Aww man I remember when Chris, GP and Ahmad had their own show! They stayed wilding! But they were having fun. I knew they would only be together for one season. They were acting straight fools, it was hilarious
That most delightful facts are just truly delightful 🤣🤣
Yall dissing the Hornets forgetting that the Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans. The Charlotte Hornets right now isn't involved, they were the Bobcats, another non-factor team that has never seem to go anywhere.
The most memorable thing about the bobcats was that they drafted Adam Morrison who smelled so bad his coach had to force him to take a shower.
As a Nuggets fan I loved this game even though the only thing interesting in the second half was trying to see if we could double them up (and we almost did). But you left out the best part. With 24 seconds left and the Nuggets up 55, J.R. Smith decides to take a 30 ft shot and then drills it.
Welp, y'all finally have a title now! How you feeling?
I had no knowledge of this until you commented
I saw the thumbnail and the title and knew exactly what game this was. I was an unfortunate 11 year old who had the honor of being there. At a certain point we just stayed bc it was a historically terrible game. I went to like 1/2 of the regular season home games that year and the year prior and never saw any of those bench players play before. This was the last time my family bought Hornets/Pelicans tickets.
One of my favorite SB nation series' is back... yes!
Still waiting for an updated edition of The Worst Super Bowl.
I love how u describe them finally moving the ball and getting someone open. It's like they're trying to play football on the basketball court lol
Well.. we officially have a new worst game
What you talking about
And to think CP3 suffered another record longest garbage time with the Mavs completely trashing the suns in a game 7.. smh
Yo that shot clock and game clock find was awesome!
Alex your commentary was just amazing I couldn't stop laughing.
New title goes to the sunsvsmaveriks game 7 probably worse
"Doesn't have a twitter"
The only reasonable choice.
I didn't even think about the beatdown that the Magic put on the Celtics in '95 being one of the biggest playoff beatdowns of the modern era at the time. Games such as this one will make you forget about that pretty quickly.
Dat "WOW!" @ 4:30 LMAO I CAN'T 😂😂😂
"Kenyon Martin introduces his ass to Tyson Chandler's face!" That might be my favorite line in The Worst history.
I think the most shocking oddity of this game was the score of the second quarter, 25-24. Lol
I remember Reggie saying this was going to be a long series because of the contentious nature at the end. But it was such an epic blowout
love this series and basicly every other one aswell. 1 q, how long do those videos take? these and teh chart party ones espically
It's funny how the worst playoff series and the worst playoff game happened in the same playoff run.
"Making banana boats plan already." lmao
Best The Worst episode in a while if not ever. Much props.
Even when I watched this live, I was laughing so hard!
"Twenty hundred and then nine"
"I think I left the lights on at home"
"LOL we're fucked"
"The Hornies"
Love all those quips. Interesting video. These are funny.
NOOO!!! As a former hornets (pelicans now) fan, this video hurts my heart!! 💔💔
And I’m a current hornets fan!
Caedmon Moore You guys need love. I mean, Kemba can drop 60+ on a night and y’all still lose.
@@TornaitSuperBird lmao!!!!!
Tornait wrong team
This shows that any team with a name change doesnt always mean they will be the best team, i mean i love both New Orleans and Charlotte and i have heard people say how the name change to the Hornets will make us better
This video was funny and really good 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love this guy he’s the best commentator on this channel
What a game. Prime example of why we need the mercy rule.
You mean a rule where people who paid for insanely expensive playoff game tickets don't even get to see a game for their money? Yeah that would go over just fine.
My Mom Says I'm a Champion
I’m sure those Hornets fans had a blast watching their team down by 50.
The hornets played like your local ymca rec team😂
0:33 hahah! It still gets me...
Every time...
THis was so funny. Good job!
Bro that was a home game. I mean I can't even imagine. Oh the horror.
It happened again for Chris Paul, this time in a second round Game 7 as the number 1 seeded favorites to win the Finals.
As a Hornets/Pelicans fan this was hard to watch, I was embarrassed for my team.. Especially after going to game 3... didn’t know what to think
NOLA fan here. I knew what was coming and still was completely saddened by this video. I did not need to relive this
its official; i'm calling them "The Hornies" from now on
Greg E Nugs vs Hornies
Except, they changed their name to the Pelicans so that makes them sound like Charlotte.
“Took final nba shot in New Jersey (miss)”
5:45 They did my boy Johan dirty lmao. He actually won the European championship alongside Tony Parker, Boris Diaw and Nicolas Batum.
So much for home court advantage.
Clippers vs Mavericks please.
Chef Ramsey: "So ghastly." 0:19
Hornets had 17 FGs and 26 TOs this game. There can't be more than a handful of games with more TOs than FGs and this gotta be the only one in the playoffs.
Never thought this could have competition but it does now
I guess we can add kawhi leonards shot to the beginning of the video
SB Nation, can I now safely assume that Jon defeat the entire staff at fencing and also got his sandwich ?
Third or fourth time watching this, and I'm still impressed that Alex said "foul and free throws" so many times without getting tongue-tied.
I was watching this still hoping that somehow the second half would turn out to be a close game! Nope, but you still made it sound insteresting
I don’t know. This was an early playoffs stinker. The 96-54 beat down Utah took in the 1998 finals is far worse....cuz it happened in the finals and everyone in America witnessed it. This might be a second place, but it will be nowhere as bad as that finals game. Significance and depth in the playoffs should trump an early round game.
Totally agree. I watched that game and I couldn't believe my eyes.
Agreed and this game was on NBA TV so about 800 people watched it live
Precisely....I was wondering what the heck was going on. The Jazz weren’t slouches either and they just got taken to the woodshed. And if Karl Malone has played badly it would have been a 50 point stomping....in the Finals!
The Leap Fitness and Health I think they’re going to make NBA Finals games a separate category from just “standard” playoff games if you will. ie: “The Worst NBA Finals Game”.
2016-17 NBA Playoffs: The worst NBA playoffs.
Unless ur a cavs fan like me
@@aidanflynn2037 you enjoyed losing to the Warriors?
"Puffing the magic Dragon" and calling Denver "The Nugs".
Two 420 references for the price of one. Nice. 😉
I never seen a game so bad that you actually see the coach fully realize he is being fired DUIRNG THE FIRST QUARTER!
3:09 The Rockets
That span where the Nuggets intentionally fouled the Hornets was just ownage lol. They knew psychologicaly the less they saw the ball go in on a field goal, the worse it was going to be for the home team.
I guess that's basketball's version of teabagging.
5:48 Well guess what
Renaldo Balkman is putting a good results here at the Philippines Basketball League teaming up with the San Miguel Beermen
Crazy to think this was 10 years ago wow either way i remember game 4 of this series wow was it really bad nearly put me to sleep.
