    LMFAO yeah, coaching doesn't matter.

    Pathetic last play call but not unexpected.

    What a great offensive play with 21 seconds left. So much movement, misdirection, getting the defense to rotate.
    Well done!

    when the ball went out off harden and they called it their ball, the whole bench reacted and pointed out ball. and he sat there emotionless

    And that is a good example of where CJ needs to take the last shot....the mid-range jumper.
    Nurk on the choke job at the free-throw line was huge

    Not the best shot choice by Dame there.

    When has Zach ever got 20 shots due to our fowards together got 12 shots. It's about opportunities as long CJ and Dame on this team there's know opportunities. So give it a break about Zach.

    Maybe signing with Klutch has made him think he’s a star when he’s really only had a decent stretch in the Bubble for his two seasons? He’s a one-dimensional player who can’t create his own shot, and whose defense is highly overrated, IMO.

    He should be pissed at himself. but pouting like he’s some superstar being benched is an awful look for a guy heading into RFA.

    Nurk scores at the rim twice to start Portland’s OT. Great way to redeem himself for the missed FTs

    James "Shawn Kemp" Harden and five undrafted players took us to overtime.

    You can't make this stuff up.
