Who said Shane Courtney Battier isnt Clutch?

[Matchman]

Just because his last 5 playoffs teams sucked big time doesnt mean Battier was the person responsible for the losses.
And NO, Rudy Gay would not have made those dagger three-pointers and clutch blocks.
hes a proven winner and he got all the rewards to show it:
Mr. Basketball of Michigan (1997),
1997 Naismith Prep Player of the Year,
2001 Oscar Robertson Trophy,
Naismith College Player of the Year,
John R. Wooden Award,
Lowe's Senior CLASS Award (2001),
NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player,
ACC Athlete of the Year (2001)

Big Shot Battier...................

[JamStone]

I don't think it's been a question about him being clutch. Gay is still the better player though. And using last night's game to claim otherwise is short sighted and naive. Take nothing away from Shane's performance but I'd still take Rudy.

Shane's always been clutch. That a Rockettes fan would post something like this is proof he hasn't been paying attention.

[Mr. Body]

Battier has a knack for momentum-changing shots the way Bowen used to.

And for the Rockets, Battier is definitely the better pick. Gay would do nothing for them.

i dont know about this board but over at ClutchFans there were tons of Rocket Fans that think Battier is unclutch and Adelman should limit his minutes in the playoffs

No, Adelman needs to limit Artest's minutes....he tried his hardest to lose that damn game. I still find it funny when people think Artest is the best wing defender on this team. Battier shuts Roy down alot.....Roy just gets Artest turned or in a bad position and then drives right to the rim on him. Battier has some of the best defensive footwork around and hardly never gets out of position defensively.

lol@gay

that guy isnt even the best player on a worthless memphis team. obviously mayo is better than him and i think you can make a case for gasol being better than gay. gay will never win if he is the go to guy. btw how has memphis done since they traded away battier? how were they doing with battier? battier knows how to step up and play some bad ass defense and stick to his role. rudy is nice scorer but he provides little else.
