If you’re relying on this guy to make the biggest shot of the game, then you probably don’t deserve to get out of the first round anyway.

Maybe it was because he was back to wearing black and blue, or maybe all those hours of practicing with his Shotloc while listening to DJ Khaled and T-Pain actually worked, but J.J. Redick scored a career high of 29 points tonight vs. the Denver Nuggets. 5-point-plays aside, his performance wasn’t enough to stop Carmelo (35/11, and possibly his last game as a Nugget?) as the Orlando Magic lose their 5th out of their last 6 games. No word if Stan Van Gundy will actually yell during the entire flight back to Orlando.

Who doesn’t love JJ Redick?

Worst t-shirt ever?

Stan: K so here’s the play right, as SOON as you grab the rebound CALL A TIMEOUT.
JJ: Right…so grab the rebound, then take a couple dribbles up the court, THEN call a timeout.
Stan: No. Just…grab the ball, then immediately call timeout. 
JJ: Got it. So as soon as I get the ball…wait for Vince to complain to the ref and make that stupid face he makes…and THEN call a timeout.
Stan: Exac—wait, what? No. Don’t do that. In fact, do the exact opposite of that. Oh and don’t get me started on Vince’s pouty faces. Dude’s got uglier facial expressions than ME.
JJ: Alright good talk, coach. I’ll make sure to waste some time and advance the ball so that we can inbound in the backcourt with about 3 seconds left. Got it.
