    Surely this is just a 2 game freak occurrence, right? CP will straighten this **** out.

    That was a terrible way to end what was a great game. Almost choked that win.

    This late game idiocy from Ego and Tucker is going to make me bald from all the frustrated hair pulling. And this isn't even normal idiocy, it's really WTF type dumbness.

    CP will fix this.

    Can Mike call a timeout?

    I hope CP fixes these brain freezes. I had to take my heart pills.

    I hope they are pissed at themselves, but Harden is not excused here!

    MDA doesn't understand how to control the game. If the team has such head coach, we can't win a champion

    We done that all season long

    Against the nets and bucks if I remember correctly and other teams where we lost in the last minutes after being up.

    It’s starting to get worse

    But, there are some things a coach shouldn't have to tell a player. Like picking up the ball when it is inbounded. Like keeping your feet inbounds. Like not shooting a wild three point shot when you just need to run clock.

    These are professional players. Some of these stupid mistakes I can't even blame the coach.

    I’ve seen CP3 have more than his share of brain farts. I trust him more than most but **** happens and I’m not sure we won’t see something like this again.

    At least I can count on CP3 to make "normal" stupid mistakes. Ego and Tucker make "stupid mistakes" that make you question if they're paid to lose or something.

    We've had late-game collapses with Chris Paul too (that Mavs game being a notable one; those Pistons games). It's their late-game offense more than anything.

    We don’t practice during the season. Maybe that has something to do with it.
