Hopefully he can get his 3 point stroke back to where it was a couple of years ago when he was shooting 40%. It was disappointing that he only shot 31% from behind the arc in his stint with us last year.
Man i miss that team. watching that entire clip makes me miss yao even more, and reminds me how much of a Love hate relationship i had whit Ron
Brooks with a pull up or off a screen is the best option for me. Kevin Martin with his classic pump fake and drive is great too. Yao should be either inbounding or posting up after setting a screen. 3rd option. Unstoppable in the post. Scola down low for hte rebound. Ariza/Battier spotting up just in case someone tries to help. If a 3 is needed then both Ariza and battier over Scola.
KM or CBUD Not AB because if teams foul him.....he is the worst clutch FT player on this team (not talking about overall FT %), you all know what I mean.
Wow that was lame. I definitely voted while only reading the poll, but wtf is the point of this poll then? You're asking for a 3 point shooter, and you still have Yao, Scola, Jeffries, Hayes as options? The obvious answer would have to be Brooks or Martin. As for me, I voted for Yao. If it was a game tying shot with time to set up/everything, Yao taking the shot = highest % shot. He may not get the ball...but that's who you want to take the shot as 1st option...if he's fronted then I would ask for a Scola midrange shot or a Martin shot.
I'll let the guy who's done it before do it. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S1l27UaVQX8&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S1l27UaVQX8&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i3x0TrOaixg&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i3x0TrOaixg&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
FG percentage in clutch as defined by 82 games.com *Player Fg% *Landry 0.694 *Scola 0.515 *Hayes 0.417 *Brooks 0.374 *Lowry 0.313 *Ariza 0.245 *Battier 0.19
I would hope that Kevin Martin make the jump to be that player who I want to take the shot or at least create the shot.
I never really felt like it HAS to be guy X. Brooks is the clear first option, Martin is the clear second, and Battier is the clear lurk-in-the-corner-if-a-double-team-comes option. Really, I'd be fine with AB or Martin with the ball in their hands.
Depends on the shot... Wide open 17 footer... Scola. Isolation play... Brooks. (But I'm not convinced he's getting a good shot because he's so small) If you can get the ball in the post (not likely)... Yao. Create a three-pointer... Brooks. Wide open three-pointer... Battier/Martin.
I should have read the OP, as I usually do. The title and the Poll question didn't mention being down 3 to tie, only taking a game tying shot. I voted Yao, but would have voted Brooks had I read that post.
My boy, AB of course. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8bSdhTH8NLQ&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8bSdhTH8NLQ&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Oops. Didn't read the post before voting. If its a 3, AB. If its a 2, I want the ball in Yao's hands.
