    Ok, I guess we will have to agree to disagree then. Clutch numbers over the last three years show that Lopez is one of the worst players in basketball at making 3's when it matters. Turner is much better.


    And I'm not sure if Brook makes better decisions or if it's just that we see him less. If it had been Turner, there would have been a 30 page thread on here about the play with 6 seconds left where Brook tried to pass it out when the shot clock was clearly expiring (since they had just called a timeout with 2.1 seconds left on the shot clock). That was one of the worst decisions of the playoffs so far.

        You can always cherry pick one mistake. The guy played a great game.

          Anytime someone start an argument with "feels over facts" you know it's got to be good.
