    Norman Powell coming up short in the clutch is about as predictable as anything out there.

    What a game. Several records set. Batum misses at the buzzer and the Kings win.

    What a demoralizing loss for the Clippers. Kawhi plays a near perfect game, they make 26 3s (shooting 57.8%) and Sabonis had 4 fouls before haltime (foul trouble all 2nd half) yet they still lose at home to a Kings team that played the previous night.

    Yeah, his team was down by only one point, and instead of throwing the ball (hot potato) back out to Batum at the three-point line, he could've taken a dribble and shot it himself.

    He blew a couple golden opportunties for us in his short stint in Portland as well. I don't know what it is about him but he totally shrinks in those moments.

    Twitter is making it sound like he's been a bum all season. This place makes it sound like he's been a near all-star for them. I don't know which is true!

    I know that PG with 32 points has minutes restrictions but with only 5 secs left, why not put him in as a decoy for the last play?

    In this game at least, it was their defense and ability to cause turnovers that was the difference between the two teams. Both offenses played hard.

    175 points for both teams. Hard to say what Powell did or didn’t do was the outcome of the game.

    RoCo with a DNP coach's decision in a double OT game. That has to sting

    My comment wasn't about the game, it was about the end of the game, where there has been a pattern of Powell coming up short on multiple teams.

    Watch the last two OTs and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

    Can't be true. Sources say he has a ton of value around the league.

    Monk as been a player (10th pick) that has been jumping around and hasn't stuck, except for now it look like he's found a home in Sac Town.

    And the Blazers have become who the Kings were. Get used to no playoffs.

    Man, I wish we had a player coming off our bench that "chocked" as much as Powell does.

    I'd take him on our bench over what we got.
