And it dates back to college...for both of them.
Sure, hayward got the Cleveland shot to fall. But clutch he is not.
And I like hayward...a lot. But I like winning more.

News flash, there's no such thing as clutch. It's a fantasy.

I wonder if Snyder picked up on the same negative body language that we did, and recognized that a single shot in a close game - in a season where we're not going to the playoffs anyway - wasn't as important as keeping Trey bought in. He makes it, he feels good. He doesn't make it, Snyder still shows confidence in him.

When I watch QS I think he processes about 10 times the info of an average person. I think he keeps pretty good tabs on the emotions of his team. He also spends a lot of time with Trey.

Time after time Trey hits the big shot, whole time after time hayward misses or bounces it off his own foot. So....yeah.

Locke had some stat recently saying the complete opposite - Trey's clutch shooting this year has been horrible(like in the 20s terrible), while Hayward's has been the best in the team. That said Hayward has been turning the ball over in end of quarters a lot.

Robert Horry begs to differ. As does MJ, Kobe, Reggie Miller, and others.

I believe the argument is that those people do not shoot any better in the clutch than they do normally. It is only that we remember buzzer beaters and what have you, and those will typically be given to excellent shooters like Jordan And Horry.

I missed that. But probably only because I think Locke is a douche and can't stand to listen to him at all.
I'm old school, so I hate any radio guy that isn't Hot Rod. :)
 
We are so fortunate to have Quin as a coach. He has been the perfect mentor for our young team. It will be interesting to see how he performs two years from now when the team begins to challenge the big boys.

Maybe so. And I won't argue that, but I do know a pressure shot at the end of the game when the game is on the line is different from a regular in game shot.*

*Reference: my vast experience as the 12th man of the year on my HS freshmen basketball team. So yeah, I know what the hell I'm talking about.
 
Nice win tonight. Detroit did a good job defensively throughout. Luckily Hood stepped up and knocked down some shots down the stretch which proved to be huge. It was also nice that Hayward came up with two big buckets during money time as well after a relatively quiet game (credit Pistons D).

I like Millsap's edge but I'm curious to see if he sticks around next season. Ingles is a goner I'd bet. I think we trade our draft pick for a proven shooter who can guard opposing team's small forwards to replace him. I also hope we can bring in Cooley in place of Evans (as much as I appreciate Evans' presence over the years and I'm sure he's a great teammate).

Goddamn the future is bright! Gimme some shades!

HAIL QUIN
