    Lin. How is this even a discussion where people suggest anybody different? Parsons, the defensive/rebounding specialist? Lamb, the unproven rookie? Give me a break.

    Lin is the only one whose game a) focuses on isolation plays and b) has proven himself in crunch time

    What made things worse was the thought that we could have almost got Roy in that draft, ONLY IF we hadn't won that meaningless game.

    Lin

    Has the second highest PER in the 4th quarter. Second only to CP3. Also ranks 6th highest in the NBA with points scored in the 4th at 5.4 points. Also in the last 5 minutes of the game the team is within 5 points Lin averages 46 points per 48 minutes. He is mad clutch. Not afraid to take the big shot to win games or to end quarters. Lin all day.

    I don't care who does. As long as you have the NUTS to knock down the shot.

    *Apologies if you can't say NUTS in relations to male fortitude. lol
    Peace

    Lin? Proven? Really? Lamb has won games and a National Title, and college games are arguably a bigger stage than NBA games. Lamb has all the tools, and is a physical specimen at the 2, by all means, I think it is him in both situations, catch and shoot or clock winding down.

    I think Lin made more winning shots (1 lol) last year than the rest of our current roster combined last year.

    My roommate and I were still cheering about Yao's shot when that went in. Needless to say, it got really quiet after that.

    And then still lost him to retirement after he lost both his knees.

    Anyway, how is this a question yet when we don't even know who will be here for sure by the end of this off-season.

    Out of all those plays the only go ahead baskets were scored by Dragic, Dalembert, Lee, and Lowry which are all gone now.

    I never said that wasn't clutch. My orignal statement was game winners. I loved watching that vid it was good memories from the season (even though we didn't win all the games in that vid).
