    Kyle has been our best player along with Brook since entering the starting lineup. Unfortunately today he missed the 3 but it was nice seeing him try to seize that moment and not be afraid. He'll learn from this. #kuzcontrol

    He got fouled as shown by the replay on that last three point shot. Should have gone to the line for three to end that game.

    Refs are never going to call that though, never, especially not on a big name star. We had time, that was a bad and rushed shot. There was time for a better look at 3, or to attack the hoop and tie the game. If we went to 2OT, they were the ones in bad foul trouble, Middleton was out and Giannis had 5.

    The refs didn't make that call because they jobbed us all night long. Luke just said that the refs told him that the arm to KCP's face was not called a foul because it was unintentional and if the player didn't mean to hit him it's not a foul. He also learned from the refs tonight that if a player goes up to dunk to the ball then the opposing player is allowed to hit the rim and it's not goaltending. So he said he learned some new things tonight. No excuse not to call that foul. Nor the one Zeller did on Randle before that.

    All these so called refs need to get fired! The NBA needs to hire some new refs that are fair and stop giving the damn superstar treatment. Just be fair

    Bad shot, but TBH, I like the mamba mentality.

    And he had been making some incredible shots all night long. This guy is going to be on the All Rookie 1st team. Let that sink in.

    Those turnaround fadeaway shots looked so raw yet so good and I like it. Kobe'esque.

    A simple pumpfake to let Giannis fly by and he would have been wide open ....

    A better rookie would have done that.

    I say Kuz miss it by the fact that the way the media has been blowing Tatum a**, they might vote him in twice

    It does feel like when it comes to the All-Rookie team, how you play in the first few nationally televised games decides your fate. I'm sure the voting goes, "I saw a game where he was good. Let me just look at all their stats. That guy has a nice points per game number. You're on first team."

    I enjoyed the mic'd up from Kuzma and the "he can't guard me" quote but you gotta shoot better than that. Rough game for everyone.

    I actually rarely don't provide a link. I just figured that this was pretty big around social media last night that you'd be hard pressed to miss it especially if you watched the entire game.

    Yeah, I'm in that minority, cause I didn't catch the game last night. In fact, I've missed and probably will miss all the games to close out this year since we were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

    Still I always look to you and alam to give me all the sources that I missed for the week. If that is classified as "rare" for you, then damn, I need to step my game up. Either way, thanks for referencing it, otherwise I probably wouldn't have actively looked for what you were talking about.

    All good, Kuz is going to be a straight killer for us down the road.

    Haha, I can't wait!
