<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BG7 Lavigne @ Apr 18 2008, 09:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Breakdown of clutch stats for our players. Clutch: 5 minutes left in 4th/OT, neither team up by 5+ points. Gordon's good for fifth most points during clutch time. He shoots 58.1 TS% in the clutch, which is higher than his overall TS%...which means he steps it up. I think the biggest problem in the clutch, is that our 2nd most clutch player is Nocioni, down at #106. Then you have that problem that he only shoots 43.6 TS% in the clutch! Thats horrible. (Remember, anything below 50 is hurting the team). Our next guy is Deng at #130. He is at a 45.2 TS%. Our next guy to make the list is Hinrich, at #183. He shoots 21.3 TS% in the clutch. http://82games.com/CSORT11.HTM Then they also did Super Clutch time, which is the last 2 minutes of the game, with neither team ahead by 3+ points. Gordon finished #6 for this (despite a better scoring output). He shoots 59.4 TS% during this time. Our next guy is Deng, at #105. He shoots 76.9 TS% during this time. Problem? Deng has only shot 3 super clutch FGA, and 2 FTA all year! Nocioni is our next guy at #159. He shoots at 40.9 TS% during super clutch time. Next is Hinrich at #175. Hinrich shoots 11.5 TS% during this super clutch time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, look no further for why we sucked this year. We have one good clutch player, who is really good, elite. Then we have a bunch of guys who suck when the pressure turns on. Anything below 50 TS% is bad. Hinrich is just a major WTF....21.3 TS% in the clutch, and 11.5 TS% in the super clutch. That is pathetic. The problem isn't Gordon, he's fine. He is one of the best in the league in the clutch and super clutch. The problem is that everyone else except him is so horrible. We have no Robert Horry's, or Jannero Pargo's to take some pressure off Gordon.</div> Nice analysis there BG7. 58.1 TS% is about 4.6 above the average (and even a little higher than that in clutch situations I presume). I'm also glad to see that Kobe's still a god in the clutch and he plays better than LeBron against good teams. http://82games.com/COM1S11.HTM
