    Bud has hit a game winner or for the lead in closing moments. It was against Washington he hit that bank shot so atleast we know he is capable. Brooks isn't bad either.

    As long as it is not a FT, I'm fine with AB taking it. If it is a FT however, I want Yao or KMart to take it. AB seems to lose his clutchness when it comes to FT shooting in the crunch.

    nice to see AB getting so much love- he got bagged on all season for NOT being clutch, but really i'd rather he take the last shot then anyone else, even ftw

    after brooks i think chase will develop into our next clutch player- hes unflappable and always plays within himself.

    i'd LIKE k-mart to be the guy, but i'm not sure he will ever be, seeing how he tends to disappear in the 4th

    I don't get why people here are all overrating AB and underrating kevin martin.
    Martin is just recovered from injury last year. Being in a new team, he did put up some nice numbers to the score board. I am not here to say AB is bad. But i really don't see how clutch ab is in the last moment except once vs boston and once vs nuggets. In the last moment, the ball should go to martin who can have a much higher chance to get to the free throw line or finish.

    Very unfair poll, leaves out the posts really. If we were down by 2, I'd feed it down to Yao. If he gets fouled, I know he's draining the shot

    On my iPhone so I voted and couldn't see the post. Now that I can I'd of course say Brooks but in regular game tieing situations or to build a lead I'd take Yao since he's got a nasty hook and can get to the free throw line quite often and of course you can't forget that he used to be the best free throw shooter on the team.
