Best regular season player who is a playoff choker?

Bagwell was actually decent in the 2001 playoffs. Biggio has never been decent .

 

Are you sure? I remember the TEAM batting 250 or something.

But Bagwell and Biggio were 6-20, or some horrific batting average like .097 (post-season).

 

Dirk is looking like he might catch Webber and Marion. He was craptacular tonight. If Dallas loses this series, it goes down as the biggest choke job since Warren Moon and Co. lost a 35 pt lead to the Buffalo Bills.

 

Timeout

 

why did you say 6-20, or .097. in my world, 6-20 is a 300 average which is way away from .097.

in the 2001 playoffs, w/o looking it up, i believe bagwell was 3-7 with 5 walks b/c atlanta wasn't going to let him beat them. bobrek probably knows how to find the numbers easier.

 

how can timmy be on here if he won a championship. also, even when SA was sucking against LA in the 4th last year, duncan was getting doulbed every time. i really don't know what you think a post player can do with a double. hakeem passed when seattle doubled. shaq passes when doubled. everyone passes when doubled. duncan does the same. it's just that when shaq is doubled he has kobe or good 3 point shooters to pass to to make him look good, duncan didn't last year. and this year against the suns, duncan was doubled every single time he touched it essentially, not much he could do except pass and win the series, which he did.

webber stepped up much more last year and had exceptional numbers in the LA series (20+ every night with i think a 23 avg, 10 reb, 6.3 asts, 52% shooting i think and he was the only one along with bibby who wanted to shoot late in game 7, it was just a two man game at that point).

i like the peja choice b/c he got shut down 2 years ago and even though he was injured that still doens't make you shoot a damn airball by oh, i don't know, 5 feet in crunchtime.

and i don't know about the starks choice, he stepped up huge for us.

 

All I remember was that Bags and Bigs were the worst NO-shows for the playoffs.
But the rest of the team at least got on base.

 

the whole team choked.

 

Bagwell played well that series. Most of his playoff chokcing has come as a result of no one ever getting on base in front of him, imo

 

So he should jackup shots?

They don't have a great chance against the Lakers anyways.

Shawn Marion is just hmm....not that spectacular. What does he do? He's a monkey!

 

What series? 1997, 1998, 1999?

 

CHRIS WEBBER IS THE BIGGEST CHOKER...

if there were 5 seconds left in a play-off game.. and he had the opportunity to win the game... he would rather take a 15 foot jumper or give the ball to bibby than take it to the hole...

CHOKER!!!!

 

STEVE NASH! MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
P.S. I HATE THE DALLAS MAVERICKS!

 

He's a monkey? I cant believe I just read that. Not cool.

 

I can not believe you guys. F*** Phoenix, and f*** Marion, but calling a black man a "monkey"?

That aint right. I can not even begin to express how wrong that it.

I wonder how some of us Houston fans would react towards racial slurs directed at Yao, or Stevie?

 

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it that way. It was too innocent, too far our of left field. Still waiting on him to explain though.

 

I don't know how I would feel, but if that guy meant it like you took it, he is saying more about himself than he is Marion.

 

Thanks guys.

I understand negative references towards opposing teams - that’s only natural. However, someone has to draw the line when people start comparing black men to primates. Just ask "Jimmy the Greek" why he lost his job, or why Billy Packard won’t ever compare Iverson to a "tough monkey"?

The NBA is supposed to be progressive. The NBA and basketball in general is supposed to break barriers.

Let’s not step backwards.

 

I guess everyone forgot about Cliff Robinson.
