well clutch doesnt exist. that chart is just there to prove the point that kobe isnt some last minute super being.

It's all his shots in the "closing" and "clutch" situations. It's all the data he has. And he says he is mediocre at it.

Sorries but actually show me something showing he closes out games better than LBJ before you bring this **** in here. Obviously he can right the ship and make his next 40 game winners. Then he would be a way better closer, deservedly so. The 50 could be unlucky. But as of now, he isn't a better "closer" than LBJ, no matter how much it seems like he is.

Yup, although it is semantics as well. I consider the fact that the top superstars in the league average like 50ppg(extrapolated) in those situations to be "clutch." But its also really just playing to their potential, when they couldn't do it all game as they would be dead on their feet by the end. So it's not really clutch, but they do play at a different level, so it is kinda clutch..etc

I was going to write a long post but instead I will just say that. In order to win a championship in the NBA you really need guys grabbing rebounds, blocking shots and doing other things that don't require them to have the ball in their hands 50 to 60 times a game. I know Kobe and Lebron are good on defense but if they don't get a certain amount of touches on the offensive end it will be hard for the Lakers, and the Cavs to win games. An example is that Bynum, Gasol, and Odom don't need to score or even touch the ball a lot on offense to help the team win. They need to score but there are few if anybody that's better than Kobe as far as scoring.

Not exactly sure what the answer is, but the Cavs need to do something about Rondo to have a chance.

By the time MB figures out that Powe should be getting every minute he can play, LBJ will already be a Knick.
