LAST SECOND SHOTS

After seeing the Wizards game debacle, I started pondering on who should take the last second shot. On monday's game it was Yao, even though he was already 4-13 before taking a fade-away jumper that bounced off the rim. We have had games with similar situations but I fail to recall any successful last-second shots this season. I know Ron Artest and Tracy have both failed in a couple of instances.

So Dreamshakers, I leave it up to you to vote for whoever you think should take the last shot, either to tie or win the game.

My vote goest to Brent Barry, after some penetration by T-Mac/Brooks and a dish out for the 3. I believe that at this point T-Mac is not shooting well enought to take on the responsibility, even though he's better at it than Yao and Artest (in my opinion). Brent is like our upgraded Novak (who hit a game-winner against Sacramento last season) and could become our version of Big Shot Rob, for Robert Horry.

Yao hit the one right before Brandon Roy did

He had a similar poor shooting night before that one. He is a very clutch player, but lately I think he’s putting too much on his own shoulders and it is weighing on him.

Yao is the only answer to this question unless you need/want a three

Maybe 3 years ago...

But no T-Mac anymore, unless you want the standard 1) Dribble until 3 seconds are left, then 2) Chuck up a pull-up three.

I vote Yao, then Artest, then T-Mac.
