Frustrating, but we will get better. Jan/Feb has a stretch of "easier" teams. Should see more wins, at least. |

I trust Kuzma to take a game winning shot way more than Clarkson. The coaching staff does as well. |
ok? great for you and coaching staff...how that work out for you tonight...multiple times? |
Clarkson is on his way out of this team by the trade deadline, rather give the future a shot, make or miss. |

If I'm not mistaken Ingram's the only one who hit a game winner this year.
Ingram hit the 2 clutch freethrows to extend the game
Ingram should be taking that final shot. Period |

FA's got to be able to see the real picture right. Talented, hard working team that just needs a closer. Fire Luke if you have to. |

can’t over analyze this one - just lost a close game with Lakers playing a good game against two future HOFers |

Ok. |
not sure what’s up with him - was this game too fast for him |

How many close games can we lose? Someone needs to show these guys how the Lakers used to close out games. |

Terrible ending to a looong night.
Not sure why everyone is calling for Luke to get fired. Who's going to do better with this squad? We're proving to be a tough young team, we just need time to grow and some better pieces (i.e.: shooters!)
The most concerning issue I have is Ingram's lack of heart. It's like he only wants to play hard against Durant. |

PG or Lebron will teach us. Every team just dumps it to their star in the clutch. They dont run no plays in the clutch.

It's the NBA though. Many teams have the same story. |
