Sure, but to a much smaller extent. Those guys getting 15 points or so is nice but not near as nice as a guy that averages around 21ppg and can frequently hit 30's for you
Absolutely. When Aminu or Moe hit shots this team is very tough. You have watched Layman and Hood turn a game into a blowout.
The writer should emulate my Shakespearian-quality writing style. When we had Aldridge, I wrote the same thing. I used to write in response to his fanboys that Aldridge pads his points, which I defined as--most of his points come in the low-pressure cruising moments of the game, not when clutch points are needed. The turning points, instead of the bulk stretches, of the game were when Roy or Lillard shone.
Nobody noticed because that's when they are busy ordering nachos, going for a smoke or peeing out that last beer...although really it was JJ Hickson' claim to fame more than Aldridge's
I guess I must be missing something because I thought points scored during the regular flow of the game counted the same as those during “crunch time”, however that’s defined. On a team that has Lillard, is it surprising that CJ’s production during the final 30 seconds isn’t as strong as during the rest of the game? Stotts, rightfully, puts the ball in Dame’s hands if the game is on the line then. And that’s another stupid thing about the article, are all last 30 seconds the same? Some are truly pressure situations, but much of the time the game is already decided. This article reads like the author is a closet Clippers fan who wanted to do a hatchet job on CJ after he destroyed the Clips with that monster 4th quarter.
Not really....CJ isn't the only player named in the article. The analysis isn't very well thought out, but it doesn't really seem like there's any personal bias.
