I saw Austin in the corner after the loss.... he looked defeated.. Kid gave everything he could tonight.. missed a couple free throws yes.. needs that mindfulness reset tuned up

Wenyen Again... You ask for a blue collar player who is ready.. this is more than I expected for sure

Guess I am shook seeing Austin so humbled by this loss... BET HE KNEW every team lost that needed toooooooo... sigh

Reaves is fearless. Kid is special. He doesn't shrivel under pressure

We need a new coach that can actually see that Reaves is our best shot creating guard and play him accordingly.

I love both these guys too. I do want you guys to keep in mind though as everyone else in the organization gets trashed tonight that these two guys missed 6 combined FTs in a game we lost by 1.

I felt like Reaves didn't reset his head and was too focused on trying to run the next play or something.. it is rare for him

We would have only lost by -2 if AD didn't foul a 3pt shooter

Because I hate myself I was just looking at the footage of the last 21 seconds of the game different angles that are available on Twitter. Austin and Wenyen's reactions after the Kleiber shot pretty much say it all they were both completely devastated. They left it all on the floor, save for being able to hit some free throws

Thank you... helps to see how we are all going through the grieving process -- "Because I hate myself" still has me
Our Grief was compounded by having watched the all the game endings before ours where everyone helped us out

As two guys who missed free throws I bet they blame themselves, despite how well they played throughout. Its definitely a fixable problem that shouldn't take anything away from the rest of their game.

They need to play with the same effort and intensity as they did tonight. I hope they learned that or already know it. I liked Wenyen out there with AD, the size rebounding and defensively was nice. Got to see more of that please.

Also its time to play Reaves like 35+ minutes

It's really nice to have guys on this team like Austin, Wenyen, Vando, etc. who have that dog in them and take losing personally.

We had none of that last season. Instead, we had fair-weather Melo who would tell the media he wasn't the least bit concerned about we lost a game we should've won.

Gotta pile on to this one - Austin, Wenyan, Vando - big time appreciation for the fight in these dogs and what they bring every night.
