Thread: Anthony Davis ranks #1 in clutch stat.

  1. #1

    Anthony Davis ranks #1 in clutch stat.

    I thought this was interesting. ESPN has some useful info from time to time.http://www.espn.com/sportsnation/sto...eltics-go-here


    "You want some numbers? The Brow is 19-of-35 (54.3 percent) on shots to tie or take the lead in the final minute for his career and less than half of those were assisted. If we zoom into the final 10 seconds of one-possession games, he owns a preposterous 67.7 true-shooting percentage (league average is 47.7 percent)."

    Amazing. I thought he was clutch this year. Ball needs to be in his hands in the final possessions. All the more reason to find smart players to handle the rock. Especially if, or more like when, we lose Jrue.

    At some point, the players are responsible for their own failures. He could've passed it. I refuse to accept that he told Jrue to take the shot himself every single time and not pass it to Davis.

    Players aren't androids, programmed to operate at the whim of the playcaller. If a play breaks down unexpectedly, players should have the capacity and competence to adjust on the fly and make the right decisions.

    "I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

    They are both not needed on this team.

    Now that I can get behind.

    Think up a coach and a PG that's perfect for a team with AD and Cousins on it, and it wouldn't be either of the two we have.

    But it seems that unless we throw a ton of money at him, Jrue is gone girl.

    One more year of Gentry I can tolerate as my number 1 priority is keeping Cousins.

    I have been saying Rubio for about 4 months now.
    If we can get him without giving up Moore, then I think a back court of Rubio and Moore would be nice.

    Both are great defenders, Moore has a good 3 pt shot and a nice tear drop. Rubio has a nice mid range game and elite passing. For the same money as just Jrue we could have both with future flexibility. Instead of Jrue Holiday and no flexibility.

    Moore is not a great defender or great 3 point shooter . Rubio is a offensive liability, and with Finch and Gentry offense is more of a shooting PG not a passer

    I never said great 3 pt shooter. He is better than Holiday though. For his price tag his defence is good enough that it's not worth paying Jrue.

    Rubio isn't a liability as he is quite good from mid range and drawing free throws. There is more to an NBA game than 3pt shots.

    Give me Moore, Rubio and Cunningham for 30M rather than Jrue for 25-30M.
