...i am getting sick of hearing about how people thinking New Orleans has no playoff experience are wrong because 10-15 players have been there before with other teams and what have not
then they rave about Peja's playoff experience.
My point would be that Peja has playoff experience, and it is without a doubt BAD playoff experience.
as much as the concept of being a 'choker' gets bandied about too easily, this guy fits it more obviously than any other outstanding player that I know of.
did anyone catch Game 7 of Sacramento vs. LA in the WCF a few years back? I will never forget seeing the league's best 3-pont man airballing an open 3-pointer in crunch time and doubt many Kings fans will either.
I would attribute the Kings playoff runs to Webber, and most notably Mike Bibby's absolute dominance of PG's like Steve Nash.
For what its worth I think NO can beat anyone in the playoffs this year, but this myth of Peja the proven playoff commidity doesn't ring true
