    With the game on the line I know I would want Tmac with the ball. But say he is double or tripple teamed. Who do we put out there for that clutch shot? Spurs have a guy in Horry who is known for miracle shots even in his days in houston. They aslo have nve if he has any gas in his tank. Which players on our team do you think will give us that miracle Clutch shot? I for one think Jon barry might be our main clutch shot hero. I would love to see him give a three to the Spurs to win the game and give that little sign he does or something like mario elie's kiss of death. Anyways what are everyone's thoughts? What lineup would u put out there for that miracle clutch shot?

    I think we need guys that can come up big in game 7's before we can start worrying about the last second shot. That being said, we've got a lot of guys that can hit a big shot. The key to getting yourself into that position is fighting to stay in the game, the last shot either opens up or it doesn't.

    My imagination conjurs up Juwon Howard for some reason.

    Actually, I think the guy who is likely to do that this season, the few times that it is for some reason NOT TMac, will be Bobby Sura. He may not be the greatest shooter in the world, but he is definitely clutch when it counts.

    I have faith that any guy on the floor for us can make a clutch shot, especially if T-Mac is able to create an open shot for them. Otherwise, either T-Mac takes an incredible shot, or it's gonna be Yao for me. Even though he choked a bit on the line last season, I like the ball in his hands too when the clock is running down. It must be the high field goal percentage.

    Yao.

    He has the best percentage. If we get him the ball, half the battle is over. He just needs to knock it down. He seems to have gained the stones to do that, after some early nerves.

    I agree, I think Yao can come up big, if we can get the ball to him. However, T-mac has to be the first choice, for me at least

    After TMac, it would be Ming, Barry, Sura, and Anderson (who is known for nailing the clutch shot.)

    So what lineup would you have out there? With the game on the line and a few seconds left on the shot clock, who do we put out there?

    Depending on how much time is left, you have to let TMac create. If he has the ball the double team will come and he will find an open man.

    T-Mac --> Yao --> Barry --> James --> Howard --> DA --> Sura


    Sorry, James can hit some crazy stuff with the clock winding down. Good at off balance catch and shoots.
