    Gordon is most disappointed so far.

    Gordon just missed that by a hair...can't be too mad about that.

    What I can be mad about is CP3's injury, especially before such a difficult stretch, but that's just how it goes.

    Harden is a fighter, I don't think many players can keep playing after being kneed in the f*cking skull, but James did. He was clearly groggy through the rest of the game, but I don't think he'll miss any time unless he tests positive for a concussion.

    Clint's gotta play better. Still love him tho

    99% on MDA. B2b,44 mins, loss, ham injury, no depth when you only give the bench no PT. Pitiful coaching

    Side tangent....why can’t we fix the “jump shooter jumping into a defender penalty”

    I never feel comfortable with Capela trying to get a rebound.

    And Harden was tired as hell for most the 4th quarter.

    I don’t fault the way the last play was drawn up; pretty decent for 4 seconds.. however, I haven’t gotten that upset at the officiating down the stretch like I did tonight in a really long time. Some really bullshit calls and even more bullshit no calls. That’s why you can’t ever leave it up to chance/the refs and go into the last minutes of the 4th tied or behind. It’s too easy to get screwed, even if it wasn’t intentionally done to us.

    B2B win/close loss
    I'm sure if James wants to come out he can give the high sign
    James is a competitor. Wanted to keep that streak alive

    Yeah but the play should have been drawn to have someone other than Gordon next to harden, so if double comes someone else shoots it. He’s the worst 3 shooter on the team this season, and it isn’t close...and why nene was there instead of a shooter than last play made no sense

    Knew we would lose this team doesn't have the balls to overcome adversity and win. Losing to GS with CP3 out was OK and acceptable to them. Operating in the "would if" mind state. Would if you grow some balls... win one game without CP3 and get a ring.

    Harden is a tank, we simply don't have the personnel not to play him a ton of minutes. Honestly Austin Rivers wouldn't be the worst signing in the world, regardless of chemistry we need bodies desperately.

    Eric hit a three a few seconds earlier so his confidence was up

    That is not all his fault, I saw Harden letting guys go by him to rebound, same for Nene, and Gordon, the TEAM needs to TEAM REBOUND !
