Former NBA sharpshooter and current TNT commentator Reggie Miller joined the Golden State Warriors locker room to join coach Mark Jackson to offer some post-game thoughts after the Warriors' 92-88 win over the Nuggets.

Though Miller gave a heartfelt speech in praise of his former teammate turned Warriors coach, he inexplicably dropped a swear bomb live on air while discussing the game's ugly final eight minutes.

"You guys know how much I love this guy right here," Miller said, wrapping his left arm around Jackson, his former teammate. "He's meant so much to me, my career, my family. The way you guys play and the passion you guys play with, I can tell that not only has he had a huge impact and influence on you guys, but the love you guys show one another and the rest of the assistant coaches, and your owners, and your head coach, it shows out there on the court. Now, the last three minutes, I don't know where that s- came from."

Miller, recognizing the error of his ways, corrected his word choice to "stuff" and referred to himself as the "devil" and Jackson as the "angel."

"But congratulations, guys," he concluded. "It's going to be great next round."

The Warriors move on to the second round to take on the No.1 seeded San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors and the Spurs spit their season series at 2-2 but the Spurs have won 29 straight home games against the Warriors, giving them the distinct edge being they have home court advantage in the series.

Game 1 is scheduled to kick off on Monday in San Antonio.
