Yep. Really is the same old story over and over again.

Lamb and Batum both balled out and Kemba played great. Didn't matter.

It looks like Kemba gets the jitters when the game is on the line. Not sure if that is fixable.

it looked like he spent the whole 2nd half getting the entire focus of the defense after dropping 27 in the first

a bad shot from kemba is still the best offense we have in the 4th - he knows, they know, we know, opposing teams know. yal gotta stop with this stuff :lol:

Kemba used to be a lot more clutch i think. He hit several game winners his first few seasons, dont remember a recent one.

these past few years have been the most stale, non-dynamic teams we've put on the court

even our trash, bottom feeding teams had different kinds of ways to potentially win while having less overall talent

^ Im not sure about that last part. I guess when we had Lin, Al and Hendo we had more potential clutch players. Now we have Tony and....yeah you might be right.

It is really amazing that Kemba has been our only end of game of option the last few years and everybody knows it. Just surprising that JB or Cliff before him does not have some wrinkle that would get an open shot for someone else. It also seems like no one else wants the ball or maybe Kemba is the problem. Just a strange dynamic that you do not see on other teams.
