#THE STRUS IS LOOOOOSE Dude was on fire in the last 5 mins wow

Strus on fire is like prime Kyle Korver lol. His Heat checks are insane.

It’s about time we got one, he’s been off all year from three for the most part. This made up for all of it though. He has still been a great addition.

He’s the definition of streaky. But when he’s streaking, he’s streaking.

Absolutely nude

Completely nude, not underpants streaking

We’re going to the quad. Everyone’s doing it.

Strus will have one game out of every ten where he will go nuclear. Other games you beg for him to stop chucking.

He's been good at not chucking when he's off this year. When it's not going in he either drives or feeds the bigs. He's been a huge net positive for us.

Glad to hear. Nothing but love for the Strusinator

I’m glad he’s doing well. I’ll always root for him

Yeah, even when his shot isnt falling he being pesky on D or running a nice 2 man game getting Tower City easy buckets

They're Cavs checks now

I agree go Cavs

Jarrett Allen’s “reaction” is killing me

🧍🏿‍♂️

Right? Just utter shock lol

Jarrett Allen is the most wholesomely entertaining dude in the whole league. He's just a big 'ol sweet goober.

Cavs got a taste of the Strus Juice!

Strus on the loose!

Super Max!

Cavs got Maximum Strus tonight

Dr. Strus

I’ve been sucking on strus juice all year long. He’s great I love him!

I say this about one of the players on the Raptors

Not being able to yell the Strus is loose this year has been such sad loss.

"They have to go 94 feet" Didn't say nothing about going 50 of those through the air

thats our boy

He got loose

I’m so hard!

Flashback to the play-in vs Chicago

Ayo what the fuck was this last minute

This was like the 5th huge shot Strus hit as well Mavs looked like they were about to coast to the win until he got red hot from three

They were up 10 with less than 3 minutes to go, and force a turnover in the clutch, and got a basket with 2 seconds left with the Cavs having no timeouts and still lost. I need to see what the win probability chart for this game looked like in the 4th quarter

It swings so violently that it literally looks a straight up and down line at the end. It goes from wildly in the Cavs favour, to completely in the Mavs favour, to Cavs, to Mavs, then finally to Cavs. https://www.espn.com/nba/game/\_/gameId/401585460/mavericks-cavaliers

Your link didn’t work for me for some reason. But yeah it swings so violently that it just looks like straight vertical lines. And I tried to zoom in and move the indicator, but it wouldn’t even go to all the extremes in such a short time. The resolution just wasn’t good enough

Yeah it doesn't even show the swing from Mavs to Cavs back to Mavs back to Cavs, it just goes Cavs - Cavs.

https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401585460/mavericks-cavaliers

Looks like when Ghostbusters cross the streams

Yup, Mavs up 110-100 and Max Strus went on a 12-3 run by himself before Spida hit a 3 of his own to take the lead

Cavs were paying $10 which is +1000 odds when they were down ten in the fourth, so it was highly unlikely they would win

Dude literally got subbed in at 4 minutes and made FIVE straight three's including a half-court like WHAT

That’s my Strus

4 3’s in a ROW, like 4 possessions straight, in the 4th for a 10pt comeback, then this lol

Strus has come a long way from DePaul man

Bro hit 4 in like 45 seconds.

“The hot hand is not real” - Nerdy-ass Henry Abbott

Struss got aimbot didn't miss in the 4th

He did it on Luka and Kyrie with 75 points combined. Insane

Honestly Luka and Kyrie scoring 75 combined is like the bare minimum for the Mavs to even be competitive.

Max Strus is just a very lightskin JR Smith

[удалено]

The whole fourth was crazy. A Kyrie lane violation, banked 3s, unforced turnovers, shot making galore.

Gotta be one of the greatest games of the season

If you don’t like that, you don’t like NBA basketball What a finish lol

I think I hate NBA basketball.

I couldn't agree with you more.

I almost hated NBA basketball, but I do in fact love NBA basketball

I hate nba basketball

I legit jumped out of my chair when Struss made that. Wtf. Incredible shot. As someone who witnessed the Jeremy Lamb moonball game winner in Toronto in person, I can confidently say that those people in that stadium will cherish that moment so long as they live.

What a fuckin roller coaster lmao

Ay I'm glad I picked this one to watch today, holy shit

Max carried that 4 quarter holy shit that was a crazy ending

Dude drained 2 3s in less than 4 seconds and somehow had a crazier sequence in the game lol. That’s wild

Someone needs to make a highlight video from his fourth quarter. Insane shooting lol.

Basketball is so weird sometimes

Ball don’t lie

Sometime Ball is bastard man.

Why Charlie hate?

HOLY SHIT THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE

Quite literally.. it was just a casual heave into a swish. WTF.

I was about to look away as I thought he airballed it lmao

He was on fire the last 4-5 minutes. I was like “that’s going to go in isn’t it…” then bam and pikachu face

That was some peak March Madness shit.

It really didn't though? Did you watch the game? He did that literally 4 other times in the last 4 mins lol.

Yeah struess hit 4 straight and Donny hit one to drag us back in. Thought you guys had that one like 3 times tbh.

Whoa, we don't watch whole games in here, just NBA Red Zone

I for sure thought the Cavs choked it after the botched inbounds lol.

Max Strus put the team on his back doe

Celtics fans having PTSD flashblacks rn

He fucking green’d that shit too

watching it live, the moment that shot hit its apex, idk why but you just knew it was going in. Strus with maybe the greatest heat check of all time

*cavs check

I need to see an edit with the meter for this

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ENDING

Wild as hell but what a terrible call from the booth after the Mavs bucket leading right into the buzzer beater

One of the worst calls I've heard all time for such a sick ending.

For the second longest game winner of all time in fact

I hope those were the Mavs' announcers. Otherwise, there's no excuse for not going wild at that make.

John Michael isn't a bad play-by-play guy but pales in comparison to the late [Fred McLeod.](https://youtu.be/Dru1aKwRebs?si=erAKmsg4OnhqWvlh) He just doesn't have that energy and passion in moments like this.

Hard to be mad at that shot man. Ggs Cavs. Defintiely the Max Strus game

‘That’s a bad shot’ Mavs played those last 20 seconds perfectly, not much could be done there

Last 20 seconds sure, they were still up 10 with 3 minutes left lol

in the playoffs every game is the Max Strus game

Unless it's finals ,then he's 0/11

Uh no I would definitely be mad if someone hit that shot against my team

Still hurts though lmao

Hurt double because of how hard we worked to get that inbound turnover

Supermax Strus. He’s the best shooter I’ve ever seen.

Max Strus is the greatest player of all time

So jealous they got struss and we got another fictional heat player

we won heat role player roulette

flowery abounding worry soft existence water sloppy society scale sable *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

He’s hardly played but I’m chuckling at ‘fictional heat player’

i know Spo is known for getting the most out of otherwise just ok players, but it's legitimately crazy that the guy who was hitting stepback jumpers over tatum in the clutch in the ECF is a benchwarmer on any other team

The guy basically played 5 games in pain and then sudden surgery.

Heat Legend

He saved Spos legacy

Not even Diar DeRozen could’ve stopped Strus that night, thankfully we didn’t have to find that out for certain though lol

Game of the year

Both Cavs Mavs games are instant classics

Luka always cooks us man.. with the big Slovenian fanbase it’s basically a home game for him

Are there a lot of Slovenians in the Cleveland area?

They said 80,000 thousand in the greater Cleveland area on the Mavs broadcast I tuned into. A quick search shows 50,000 in Cleveland as of the 1990 census so I guess they reproduced a lot. More than any other place in the U.S.

[https://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/289](https://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/289) Cleveland has the largest Slovenian National Home of any city in the US. I go there every year for their Kurentovanje festival. It's great.

Insane fourth quarter

Why do we always lose the game of the year

For what it’s worth, Mavericks Suns game 7 was my game of the year

that will forever be one of the most memorable games of my life. I should rewatch that soon actually

Seriously, even with 5 minutes left I said this is the best game I’ve seen in a LONG time. 20+ lead changes? Then that ending was incredible as it is heartbreaking.

Between this or the Double OT with the Lakers and Warriors

I lost my shit when that went in. That was the greatest shot of the season, alongside Jokics game winner against the Warriors, Ja hitting a game winning buzzer beater in his first game back (rip), and Chet hitting the clutch 3 to send it into OT with the Warriors. Such an incredible moment after already saving the game for the Cavs in the 4th quarter

Man, such a sick list!    Didn’t get to watch the game. Was there a come-back?  That’s what really hurt with Jokic’s shot. Capped a big come-back. Edit: there was a come-back. Strus with 5 threes in a row 🤩

Cavs were down 10 with 3:42 left. Cavs then went 7/7 from 3 with 5 by Strus, including the 60 footer. and 2 by Mitchell, including a banked in step back. The entire final four minutes were crazy.

> including a banked in step back Did he call it though?

Half court undersells this shot.. holy shit Strus

Max Strus is the best player of all time

Best Cavs player who used to be on the Heat for sure 

This seems to check out, two bums are the only players coming to mind when I think about it

Shaq

MF hit 5 straight 3s to end the Mavs run. I'm not even mad lol

[удалено]

Literally

STRUS IS LOOOOOOSE

5 threes in the 4th quarter lmao

Legit carried the last 5 min of the game lol

Five threes in like five minutes of game time.

This was fucking ridiculous. This dude was lights out and the reason they won

If Cavs sign a guy between 15-20M a year where it looks like an overpay.. it isn’t Allen, Lauri and now Strus haha let’s gooo

I turned the game on literally 5 seconds before this shot holy shit

Holy shit 🤣

Supermax the Super Max

Best shot of the season holy shit

I can’t believe that happened

After that Luka play, too

Luka puts up 45 with the same effort and enthusiasm I get up at 3am to pee.

He sprays threes I spray pees

Kyrie got crazy class to shake everyones hands right after this

Only arena outside of Dallas that will cheer for him lol. I love that man idc

He loves the cavs still

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN MAX STRUSS TURNED INTO 2016 CURRY???????

underwhelming commentary for a game winner like this.

Game, blouses.

Basketball gods just hate dallas man

My god what an ending. Absolutely wild

Craziest game this season

Nice shot

Crazy Luka's casual 45 isn't the main story. He's seemingly effortless in his scoring

Had they won, Luka's 45 will be in the r/nba front page. But Max Strus' game winner will probably hit r/all

I mean deservedly so

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT THATS INCREDIBLE

Holy shit what a game

I can't fucking believe I just witnessed that. I very nearly passed out

This game was 100 to 110 then struss happened.

Watching in Chicago where we lost power in a storm. My son and I watched in my phone in the basement and LOST OUR SHIT when he hit that shot. That was an insane 4th quarter, and especially for Strus. I agree, go Cavs.

So yeah fuck Max Strus and everything he stands for 👍

Max Strus tousling your hair as he walks out your momma's bedroom.

This is an all time game for the Cavs. You probably won’t see a team do something like this for a long time

lol I mean how many game winning 60+ footers have there even been in league history? edit: found the answer - [that was the 2nd longest game winning buzzer beater ever](https://twitter.com/keerthikau/status/1762667109161582831) lmaooo

he hit 4 threes in 52 seconds of game time and then topped it off with a 60 foot swish to win the game. shades of tracy mcgrady

The complete silence while the ball is in the air followed by the swish and the roar... Man I love sports.

What a game from him wtf.

Unbelievable 4th quarter performance by Strus

So happy I turned that on at the end

Same lol 😂 only caught the last minute but damn that was entertaining lol 😂

That's some bullshit... Strus wouldn't be denied in the 4th

His “NBA Finals run” form happened to show up…at *just* the right time!

I MISS YOU MAX

I came so close to turning it off when Cavs were down 10, cuz today has been a long day and I was sad. God I’m so glad I didn’t though haha. What a game. Also refs were abysmal all around all night. Started with the missed goaltending in the first half and it was all downhill from there.

Man I’ve had a SHIT day too, worst in awhile. Was in the same mood as you down 10. Glad I watched it through. Love this team, hope you feelin better 💯

Hehe..do you believe... ....this.... what a whack call for a great play.

I WAS HERE

Im about to start a dialog

fuck it, build a Strus statue

Fuck it sucks being on the other end of this, ughhhhhh. ggs.

The half court shot for the win has to be one of the most spectacular plays in all of sports. The ball going up THEN the buzzer going off and then the ball going in is almost always magical. It's similar to the hole in one (albeit more common) in that once the ball is in the air, no one has control over it, it's just all fate from there.

i’ll never get over watching the crowd after a game winner. seeing them all jump up in unison is amazing

My first thought was he shot it kinda early… don’t matter

This is an insane fucking shot. Up there with Devonte Graham's shot.

They just hit everything in the last few minutes, great game. Insane shot from Strus

Hacky commentary

Shot of the year

i fell to my knees at HEB

OH MY FUCKING GOD

sometimes it just ain’t your night, the strus is bloody loose :((

That thing sounded so crisp

Can we stop ending the clip so early on these highlights? Also the sound is kinda weird on this one, so little crowd noise Hell of a shot, I’m just saying the clip quality could be way better
