4th Quarter Crunch Time

[hero03msu]

Who do you have the most confidence/fear in when the game is on the line in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter?

This has been a constant argument recently at my work. The overwhelming choice has been Kobe. I insist it is Dirk. Whenever he shoots the ball goes in. The only person that seems can stop him is himself.

What do you think?

[Tippecanoe]

kobe
any questions?

[bigfundamental21]

Kobe, hands down. I hate the guy, but if he has the ball in his hands, he will make something happen.

[Fabbs]

kobe
any questions?
Yes. Take away his phony foul shots and whats left?
DWade smoked him last night. Kobme got bailed.
Good game to watch tho.

DWade.

[spurschick]

I'd put TMac and Agent Zero on that list

[hero03msu]

Can I edit poll's? I will do so if able, and I will throw Manu in just for the heck of it.

[remingtonbo2001]

I'll take the Tim Duncan of 03'

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Melo from last season :smokin

Melo/Ai will be a great combo when the game is close late in the 4th

[Amare_32]

Duncan
Bryant
Arenas
Wade

This is the NBA...

Phony foul shots are the way of the league.

So yeah, Kobe, Pussy Bitch that he is...

[Jimcs50]

who in all good conscience still thinks TD is better in crunch time than Kobe when the game is on the line?

If you foul TD with a 2 pt lead, how many think TD will hit the 2 FTs to tie the game? I sure don't. I think TD's FT problems have adversly affected his game and he no longer wants to make plays down the stretch, because he is affraid to go to the line.

You want players that can hit Fts to have the ball in last seconds, players like Nash, Kobe and Dirk, IMO.

[Texas_Ranger]

TD, only if he doesn't need to go to the free throw line.

[boutons_]

yep, Tim's FTs eliminate him from crunch time go-to dependability.
The ball in Tim's hands, and dribbling into traffic, is exactly what the defense wants, stop him or foul him, same effect.

I have to go with Kobe, who is a threat inside, mid-range, long-range.

Dwayne

Dirk, who killed us last WCF with a gutsy, fouled layup when he could have shot a jumper, and his unstoppable, fade-way mid-range, reliable jumper.

[KB24]

Fuck ¨No Ring without Shaq¨ Kobe
:nope


Shaq or not he has still has 3.

:bking

[Jimcs50]

Fuck ¨No Ring without Shaq¨ Kobe
:nope

Kobe took a Laker team a hell of a lot further last year than any expert or anyone of this forum thought possible last year....yes?

[SequSpur]

BONNER!!!!! I would go to him every time!!! So would Pop... Yippeee!

[TDMVPDPOY]

give the ball to wade, cose we all know with or without the flopping, travels, the refs are going to bail him out.

Did you even watch the game??

[mabber]

Kobe would be my pick with Wade a close 2nd.

[hitmanyr2k]

Steve Nash tops my list with Dirk being a close 2nd. Not only do these guys hit the tough shots when it counts they also have the b-ball IQ to make the pass. Honestly, Kobe has been pretty much crap in crunch time this year. His end of game decision making is horrendous. The last play of regulation in the Miami game was a prime example of the kind of stuff he's been doing all year. The only thing I fear is the refs falling for his cheap free throw begging "HEY" and blowing the whistle when he gets out of control.

[nkdlunch]

Kobe, Dirk, then Manu

:lol What game were you watching???? :wow Kobe's defense and crazy shots in the 4th won the game.

Kobe
Arenas
Wade
Dirk
2005 Manu
2003 Duncan

[confined]

omg its not manu...arenus without question

[Emanuel20]

it's manu

[Jimcs50]

I told you so



Kobe makes all the clutch plays and FTs down the stretch....TD misses 2 FTs.

Case closed.

[v2freak]

I wouldn't fear Duncan. He doesn't get the ball nearly enough in the fourth (and his freethrows are horrible)

I would fear Wade the most, probably

[KB24]

Hellz Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
