Brunson wide open for the win Julius needs to go 1 on 2 vs Davis and Lebron.

We ****ing suck in close games.

Let’s look at it from 57 different angles to try to find the one angle it didn’t look like it was going down

Randle will always be a Jekyll-and-Hyde guy.

Everything in moderation. Even moderation.

I thought the ball was starting to go down when he blocked it. But it was so close, I’m not mad at the reverse call.

That's exactly what I thought about when I saw that footage from the rafters on the ref screen

These previous 2 loses against both Nets/Lakers haven't only been frustrating, but they've stunk.

Lebron wins.

MJ is still better.

Same. I think the call could have gone either way, but the call on the floor was goal tending. I didn't see enough to overturn that from the replay.

Randle is on the team and he’s the big dog who gets to feed in crunch time. I thought JB should’ve finished this game. I also think RJ had the miss match on Lebron with a first step. But we didn’t explore that enough in the 3rd/4th quarter.

Thibs needs to go, now.

Losing close games is coaching. We have given 10 games away this season already it’s alarming.

No, not firing him. We either are gonna improve on the called plays or we will be subjected to watching Randle dribble into double teams for the loss

Everyone in the building expected Brunson to have that last shot. Ball needed to start in his hands and either trust him with the contested shot, or kick out for whoever is open (would've even been OK with Hart!)

Julius is that workhorse you can lean on all game, but he's not that killer you want final seconds.

Offense doesn’t look structured and it’s based on the players on the floor. Seems like the players have too much control on these offensive audibles. And don’t know why ball movement stops in crunch time. This team is very confusing. But to me the weaknesses are very clear. Just have to wait until others catch up. Til then, we go as far as Thibs and Randle takes us.

Westbrook shut down randle. Which wouldn’t have been too bad an issue except randle decided to try to shoot himself out of it

Brunson and Hartenstein were the only guys who played with any guts. Maybe IQ too

Not sure what the issue is (easy to blame coach) but this losing at home is ridiculous. Our offense is a joke and there’s no way we can maintain the defensive intensity

This game was super winnable

I would give Thibs more crap about this and his stubbornness but he did sit RJ who was playing selfishly and give minutes to IQ who can theoretically provide some shooting and spacing

Something has got to give
