Could you win with Lauri and Key being your closers?

Yeah I'm truly surprised is mistook this thread for being about clutch play and the ability to close games when the entirety of the thread and discussion is about clutch stats and performance.

My thoughts on clutch stats are that they don't have much predictive power in terms of winning playoff games or even winning future clutch games, but I'll save those thoughts for an actual thread about clutch play I guess.

HH, Cy, Numberica, Fergie etc just answered the question. Some threw Jokic, Joe Johnson, AJ and other stuff around. Only few posts about stats and performance, most of which were from you.

So no the entire thread and discussion is not about "clutch stats and performance". Its much more about whether people believe in Key+Lauri combo which was the goal and the question. Only you missed the memo smart guy.
 
Jalen Brunson won last year's Clutch Award, most points and 51 % FG. This season he's 46th in clutch points, shooting 41 %.

Steph Curry won the year before that, #2 in points and 50 % FG. He's been good last season and this, but not at the top.

De'Aaron Fox won the inaugural trophy, #1 in points and 52 % FG. This year he's 15th in points, shooting 41 %.

Guys like Steph, Jokic, Ant are always going to be at the top or close to that of these stats. Other than that: pretty much meaningless.

Sure, but not predicated on getting a specific guy. Its about adding talent one way, but how much talent you get to add is in the hands of lord almighty (who may also be known as Adam Silver if you prefer to buy the conspiracies).

If you have a strategy for getting player X in free agency, and you are the Utah Jazz, then what is your success rate at getting that player? It's probably in the same range as tanking and hoping you end up with a pick that will get player Y. Neither are great.

Also, plenty of teams have tanked while dreaming of a specific guy. Take a walk in San Antonio, for one of many examples.

this dude only bends the knee for HH (since he desperately craves to be acknowledged by him). Everybody else gets le douche.
