    I don't think parsons is getting enough love here - everyone riding tr3y daniels dick, which is cool and all, but parsons is our boy.

    Has to be Harden. He could shot 3-20 and I would still want him to take the last shot or at least make the last play.

    He is our superstar, our franchise player. I don't think anyone can regret Harden missing a shot at the end as there will be some regret if another player were to take a shot instead of Harden.

    You go for the best look and preferably the hot hand, the game winning shot doesn't have to be a freaking iso (AS EVIDENCED BY TROY DANIELS).

    In general, the ball should move and the shot should be taken by whoever is open. But if it's a situation where it's an in-bound that has to be a catch-and-shoot, it should be Harden...

    If Lin is doing well, let him run the PnR play with Harden , anyone with open look can take the shoot.

    I don't mind if Harden takes the last shot, but for goodness sake no ISO, either that 1/2 P&R he does with Lin, or a Howard & Harden pick and roll...

    ...would it be so hard to get Harden to run off a few screens for an open jumper? I feel like almost all his shots are contested step backs.

    It should be Harden

    But if Harden has a poor body language and shoots 35% in the game... there is no way if I was McHale I'm giving the ball to Harden.

    I'm giving the ball to Lin, Daniels, Beverley, T-Jones in that order.

    For spot up open treys sure. If you need someone to create his own shot, pick someone else.

    Obviously Harden, but if he's covered he needs to kick it out to the open man

    Harden gets last shot, hes the superstar.

    Did everyone forget some of the clutch plays he had during the last part of the season?

    As much as Harden is playing like crap in the playoffs, he is still the most talented on the team.

    Harden, Howard, Lin, Parsons, Daniels. IMO are the only ones who can create shots or make plays.

    Depends on the situation. One of the games they ran a pick and roll with Harden and Howard and Howard got a dunk to tie the game and send it to over time.

    If its only a catch and shoot, Harden, Daniels, or Howard on a alley oop. A great coach will have a play designed to be flexible to the situation.

    Who shoots it depends on a lot of things, but I think it's got to be in Hardens hands to create the play.

    Whoever has the best shot, and has the ball in their hand.

    Now why is Parsons listed on this poll twice? Hehe, those 2 Parsons might split the vote.
