The outright embarrassment this guy had to feel.

With literally less than a second left in the game — 0.08 to be exact — and things tied up 109-109, Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams had the opportunity to win for his team over the Cleveland Cavaliers after he was sent to the free throw line.

Williams only needed to hit one to put the contest on ice, but before he took his shots, he repeatedly declared to Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell that he was going to make both of them.

There was just one problem — well, two: Williams missed both shots, sending the game into overtime with Cleveland having the momentum after Williams’ misses, and the Cavaliers rode that all the way to a 118-114 overtime win Monday.

Such an epic loss by the Boston Celtics, and it’s all thanks to this Grant Williams gem:

Oh, man. Just imagine how embarrassing that had to be. I’m cringing at the thought of it.

Hey, missed free throws happen, but as you can see, shit-talking and guarantees make things very, very different. Grant Williams went from being individually embarrassed by Donovan Mitchell, which was bad enough … and then probably led to even more embarrassment (and frustration) when his team ended up losing in overtime. And he could have gotten them the win — with just one free throw at that.

But then, it gets even worse for Grant, because he later became a meme on social media with everybody making fun of him. Being a young guy, you know damn well he was seeing all of that while scrolling. So now he went from being embarrassed by just Donovan and the loss, to now being embarrassed by the entire world.

You know that man didn’t get any sleep last night.

Fast forward to this morning, and now he has this asshole sports blogger (me) talking shit about him.

Damn, Grant. I just hope you got yourself wrapped up in some Louis Vuitton sheets or something to handle all this.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
