:lol - You'll see. As good as Pau and Bynum were, they were horrible screeners. Now we got D12 - who just so happens to be great at it. And we have Nash to get him the ball? It's on because Kobe won't have to work nearly as hard at the end of quarters and games now.

Case in point, Kobe will get a ton of wide open looks that he didn't even get playing with prime Shaq.

I disagree. Dwight is going realize fairly quickly that the vast majority of his "touches" are going to come from offensive rebounds (and judging by the chuckster shooting % last season, there will be plenty of those :lol), so if you think he's going to sit there setting screens to watch food-stamps do his thing, well, that would be great for the opposing team, but I think you're dreaming. What's going to happen is Pau is going to set the screens per the usual, and dwight is going to have to go work for the putback. Nash is kinda irrelevant when you have that kind of volume shooter playing with you: teams know who's taking the shot. I expect Nash-Dwight to work much better when Kobe Iverson rests, tbh.

All that said, none of that has much to do with who's the best closer, tbh

[Kai]

I'd want Dirk.

[racm]

Probably KD or Dirk. Or if it's the Finals it's gotta be LeBron/Wade driving and getting the And1. :downspin:

[Jodelo]

Dirk.

You reaching dawg. I'm talking end quarter/end game situations. Even with prime Shaq on the squad - Phillip Jackson made Kobe our closer. Why? Because like D12, he was a liability and made us vulnerable to hack-a-Shaq.

if you said Nash instead of Dwight then you'd have a point because Nash is a better passer and shooter (he went 90/50/40 last year with an inferior Suns team). I mean technically we have two closers. With the ball in Nash's hands if either of our bigs are open you know it's a high % dunk coming. Teams have to respect that. And when they do you'll see Kobe going back door for an easy deuce - vice a contested 35-footer as we've been accustomed to seeing him be forced to shoot. Not any more. :toast

[100%duncan]

Dirk or Durant.

[FkLA]

Closing doesnt always have to be done by scoring. Because of this, and their willingness to make the correct play at all times, right now Id probably say its between Manu and the King tbh.

[Leetonidas]

It's LeBron you fags, quit sucking Kobe off. And lol CP3 is nowhere near this discussion. BR has proved many times that he disappears in the 4th when he needs to be aggressive

[DMC]

If you mean who takes the final shot, that's going to be Durant just because of his shooting ability and his length. If you mean who you want with the ball in the final seconds, I'd take Lebron and a few others, but Manu is about as solid as they come. He finds ways to score and he can hit the FT (so can Durant though).

[irishock]

Needing a 3pt shot- Durant or Bryant
Tie game or down by 1- Dirk from the midpost

[Leetonidas]

tbh CP3 was a good closer in LA but overall his career in NOLA as far as being the 4th quarter man was underwhelming, something BR would constantly complain about

btw posting some examples of him doing clutch things doesn't necessarily mean anything. I'm sure if i looked hard enough i could find a couple of clutch shots from Bonner

The question is who's the best closer in the game, not in the Lakers. smh :lol

sup ray... Nuggz looking good

[Bynumite]

Best closer in the game? Definitely not a spur, that's for sure.

[ElNono]

Best closer in the game? Definitely not a spur, that's for sure.

So who?

[racm]

Manu would be a great closer if he weren't a TOSB tbh

[JRHernandez88]

LeBron from here on out...
Durant
Manuuuu

[Malik Hairston]

1. Durant
2. Anthony
3. Nowitzki
4. James
5. Ginobili/Pierce

Joe Johnson is the anti-clutch in big games, but he's a clutch big shot maker, tbh..

[Clipper Nation]

Here's my list....

1. CP3
2. The King
3. Dirk
4. Manu
5. Chauncey "B-B-B-Big Shot" Billups

[rayjayjohnson]

Best closer in the game? Definitely not a spur, that's for sure.

errr, manu is up there, numbnuts

[rayjayjohnson]

For me, it's:

1. Durrant
2. Paul
3. Manu
4. Dirk
5. Bron Bron

[rayjayjohnson]

Honourable menton to Billups, as noted by Clipper Guy

[HeatChamps]

We got the best 2 closers in the game. :)

[Kai]

We got the best 2 closers in the game. :)

[eric365]

Durant and Carmelo

Kobe, Pierce and Manu used to be the best closer but they are old

[Mitch]

Tony Parker is a fairly good closer since he closed the Spurs' title window.

OH SHIT :wow :lmao

[irishock]

James and Bryant are the most overrated closers in league history. Carmelo and Dirk are both better options than them since they have the post game.

[timvp]

He sucks in just about every other phase of the game but if I need one shot I might have to give it to Carmelo.

how many attempts did that marshmallow eating phaggot need?

[racm]

Hit 3 3s in that game IIRC. One to send the game to OT and the other game winner.

Still doesn't win it without Chandler/Shumpert's defensive rotation tbh

[Rummpd]

Nothing new here Kobe Bryant supposed clutchness was exposed long ago: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/24200/the-truth-about-kobe-bryant-in-crunch-time

If you're asking me to pick one guy to make a shot with the game on the line, there's nothing complex about peeking at the record to see how well he has done that job in the past. Every number in that chart is a real moment of NBA basketball, with ten players on the court, and Bryant in a Lakers uniform, rising, firing, and -- most of the time -- missing. These things really happened, and as much as you might want to ignore opinion, or theory, there's no real reason to ignore 79 misses, broken plays, a shocking lack of passing, a coaching staff eager for more team play, and an elite team that gets below-par results with the game on the line.

As long as your mind is open to all that, it has to be closed to the idea that Kobe Bryant is the king of crunch time.

[rayjayjohnson]

Eh. Shumpert is a hella scrub

Steve Nash is the most clutch Laker right now.
