this was a fairly winnable game considering how many dumb mistakes this team made...need Beasley to get back to his pre-suspension form.

Best game I have seen Kat play in a long time. I am the first to be critical of him, but tonight, I have to give kudos. Wish he would have had it when down three instead of Beasley, but is what it is

I'm guessing the play broke up and or Beasley audibled a shot there. Sucks because that was a really bad shot which plenty of time. Just a bad move.

I rather have DLo take the last shot over Malik 10 out of 10 times

Malik needs to be on the bench as the 6th man

Dude is way too dumb to be a starter

He's one of the few that can hit threes here under pressure. He's done that too already this season. You want him or Towns taking that tonight, just shouldn't have there because the hard contest with time left.

He's rust coming off a long break. Still isn't himself yet. You're over the top posts on this are classic kneejerks though.

I enjoyed this game even with the angst of the shooting issues here. They win this game with more average 3pt shooting. That's how good the defense stood up to them.

Beasley and Ant combined had 17 threes.

Beaslet 30%
Ant 0%

No doubt the coaches are on the side telling them to just keep shooting and find some rhythm. But I wish they just kept feeding McDaniels and others more showing how cold these two were.

Jaden showed a game level today worthy of playing in playoffs.

We are outgunned and out-talented but this teams biggest problem right now is a mental one. They need to play hard, together, and tough. Something we fail to do all too regularly. We raise our level of play and we will win a lot more games. Today we played harder and it showed, playing well and with purpose can cover a lot of holes.

Spot on, Calinks. Robson and Moore in his latest podcast discussed just that.

If McDaniels plays defense like this he’s our 3&D SF of the future. Grab a defensive PF and maybe you can hid DLo and KAT well enough lol.

The kid really can guard 1-4. His length will bother elite scorers, and his shot blocking will come in handy as well. He makes small mistakes (mostly in footwork,) but that is to be expected with a rookie (especially guarding someone as dangerous as Harden.) Outside of KAT he might be the most promising pick in a long time.

This reminds me a lot of people complaining when Butler missed a final game shot. Went into tirades about how he shouldn't be that guy taking those shots.

I tuned in for the last 30 seconds.. all I saw was Malik's broken play hero ball shot.. yuck.

Looking at box score.. another Jaden gem.. this kid is crucial to our long term success.

This team keeps playing an eternal one on five system, placing point guards in the corner, stopping all the ball movement for letting a rookie that is not Jordan choking the system again and again. This game begins with defense, continue with common sense and finish with IQ. There is something left here!

Missed point-blank layups and wide open 3s. Shot 38% from the field. It's a miracle Edwards had a free-throw to tie the game. He missed it.

Beasley is a one-trick pony if I ever saw one. Catch & shoot 3 or bust. 3 made shots and 4 turnovers, some some of them killers late in the game (it's not the first time). When he catches the ball and can't shoot because a defender is all over him, look out: bad decision coming. If it's late in the game: turnover guaranteed.

I expected more from Finch in the clutch. It may be bad execution, but we looked as lost as with Ryan in the last 40 seconds.

Jaden McDaniels is all that's good with the world.

What do you think we should do in the off season?
