    Same problem as always....we have below average 3 point and free throw shooters and we're running a system that relies heavily on those shots. Just if we make just one more 3 or a couple of free throws, this game is over in regulation.

    I hope Morey is able to fix this over the next couple of years. Can't be trotting out the shooters we are at PG and PF and expect to win a championship with this system.

    I would say a little bit of both. Lin had times to just jack the ball or drive, but he chose to dribble and over think. although tthe times he DID want to shoot. Iggy was actually guarding him and Iggy is a great defender.

    how did they take away our 3s? I swear, I watched 1 half and we missed at least 10 wide-open 3s.

    He's still adjusting playing with two alphas on the team. Hopefully, he's mentally ready for the playoffs.

    Pretty much what both our PG's do in pressure end of game situations - pretend they are trying to make something happen and then pass it off to Harden or Parsons. Kinda lame.

    They did ISO too much at the beginning of the OT, but they fixed that for the rest of the extra period by going away from Harden(they had to of course after his elbow got hit). Criticize Lin all you want, but at least the ball moved around when he started handling it more. That pass to Parsons as he cut to the hoop was a terrific play. The problem is it was neutralized by an even better defensive play.

    down the stretch there was not enough movement and turns into harden or parson on top of the key, and everyone stand still at the perimeter. It made their offense much much easier to guard and take our squad out of the game. Games like this WILL happen against tough teams, what do you do when Dwight is ineffective? you need another player to step up or you trade for a 3rd star. This team is clearly one star away from being a true contender

    Dude I used to hate McHale, but that's so last season.

    Lin has ****ed up PLENTY of times in the 4th/crunch time and McHale has kept him in. Why? It's because he knows Lin can be clutch and he usually comes through for the team when they need him the most.

    Unfortunately tonight, he just wasn't there.

    Casspi is garbage and can't hit open shots to save his life.

    Enough with the overreactions - this was a close game on the road in front of a tough crowd and they hit some REALLY lucky shots at the end. No need to overreact - I'm pretty happy with how we were able to close the game out, just didn't go our way at the end.

    Dear lord. Lin had plenty of opportunities at the end of the game tonight and shrank under pressure. Stop trying to deflect blame.
