you know you got it made when you let Justin Bieber willingly babysit your kid

[Dallas]

Not smarter than J-Kidd.

Jannero Pargo disapproves this thread

[Latarian Milton]

he looks more like a mid reliever to me tbh

[Jodelo]

Bryant is the best closer since Jordan.

[Killakobe81]

Paul is very good no doubt about it. He has destroyed the best Pg debate and looks close to his pre-injury self. Barnes playing well ...can't hate on Clips they have Caron, Ronny, Odom, Barnes its like a haven for ex Lakers.

[Clipper Nation]

Odom and Barnes were ex-Clippers before they were ex-Lakers, tbh....

[Venti Quattro]

Lamar Odom

Matt Barnes can die in a fire.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

best closer in the game deferring to Jannero Pargo in the most important game of his career

[DMC]

There are going to be some embarrassed people when that pants on the ground fad goes away, worse than bell bottoms + parachute pants with a side of cavaricci combined.

You forgot Cp3

[Koolaid_Man]

I don't give a if I "jinx" the Clippers (up 3 right now with 23 seconds left) or Paul. He's the best closer in the game, bar none. Clippers looked primed for a blowout loss and he willed his in' team to the lead (and probably the win).

Oh yeah, as for the Clippers, they're pretty damn good.

no matter how you spin it...no matter what team you look to for help....no matter where you go...you'll be forever haunted with this little known fact... I want you to think about this for a minute...

Kobe 5

CP3 , Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Tim Duncan 4

[Technique]

[irishock]

I'd go with Dirk rather than either of these guys.

[Clipper Nation]

[Brunodf]

I agree, CP3 and Ray Allen are scary in the end of the games

[rayjayjohnson]

melo in his current form looks even better than his 09 nugget self, i'd have to say he's prime to be closing games right now

[Captivus]

With the game on the line

Trailing by one or two points, or tied, in the final 24 seconds of regular-season and playoff games since 1996-97, with a minimum of 30 shots. From Alok Pattani of ESPN Stats & Information.

Can you put the link for that please?
Is there a stat for the 24 seconds regardless if the team is trailing or not? (+-2 pts)

this is the best ive seen melo his entire career. no doubt. he might have the best 1 or 2 dribble pull up in the game right now, but world peace showed us he can be slowed down if you body him up. if moves quick and catches and shoots or catch 2 dribble shoot hes deadly. but if your stronger than him, and pretty quick on your feet you can def slow him down or even stop him.

Ron Ron has always given melo fits, no different this year

i think in crunch time, if mwp is gaurding melo, like if its the finals for example, i think melo chokes

personally, I'd want Durant ...... dude is long and can get his shot off easily

I have to agree tbh.

Ever since he got into the league, it seems like he always makes the right decision in crunch time. Really doesn't make many mistakes throughout the game either. Might not be able to get his shot off like a Durant, but I'd trust him with the game in the line over just about anybody imho
