    Actually it's one of the worst posts of the thread. The whole concept of "we should trust X player" and "we shouldn't trust Y player" is completely broken. The whole team should all trust each other and they should run plays that mix it up so you don't always know what's coming.

    yeah i really really really hope we see some more set plays out of timeouts especially in big spots...think it was one of our bigger weaknesses last year...and also the ball should go to whoever has the best shot...think jordan passing it to kerr/paxson...if you always ISO the same player at the end of every game, it gets really easy to gameplan around

    Im confused why lin has votes.


    or anyone other than harden. MAYBE parsons if harden gets double/triple teamed. but D12 shouldn't even be on the court if its the last play and we're down.

    Whoever it is, I don't want to see an ISO play coming out of a timeout. There are 5 players on the court. We need ball movement, pick n' roll, off ball screens. Get shooters open.

    Agreed. Anyone that shoots like that at least once in their career during the final seconds shouldn't even be in the NBA. I don't even care if you're cherry picking. Once is enough for me.

    If last season was any indication, we'll be seeing more of this.

    The Beard.

    He is our All-Star wing......put the ball in his hands and live with the results.

    Tell the others to be ready.

    Who should have the ball? Harden - can create for himself or others
    Who should take the shot? Parsons - good shooter, tough to block his shot

    What is most likely to happen? Harden will dribble until there are 3-5 seconds remaining, then pass it to Lin behind the 3 point line, and he will have to force a shot.

    and his buzzer beater against OKC to send it to overtime in the playoffs. Parsons proved he can perform under pressure, thats why he gets my secondary vote. he's made many very clutch shots with much pressure on the line.

    nice, so you completely single out that one game and not consider the 2 clutch 3 point shots he made vs the thunders? Harden should have the ball during crunch time, but Lin is no slouch in the 4th quarter.
