Who is the most clutch go-to guy?

by Tanner on January 21, 2012

The Warriors have been having some, umm, issues at the end of games. The only set Coach Jackson and the team seem comfortable running is “let Monta try and create a shot for himself.” This hasn’t been going well. When Monta has been on the floor during the last 5 minutes of games that are within 5 points, the Warriors have an offensive rating of 99.1 and a defensive rating of 123.5, meaning essentially that they are getting blown out in crunch time when Monta is playing. Here’s an around-the-league comparison of how other teams play in crunch time with their main guy on the floor. Usual small sample size caveats apply, although not in John Wall’s case b/c I don’t care how few games or minutes we are looking at, that is a simply transcendent number. It’s also surprising to see how the Heat are playing in those situations. Or is it?

Joe Johnson: Ortg = 102.6, Drtg = 89.3
Paul Pierce: Ortg = 88.2, Drtg = 128.4
Derrick Rose: Ortg = 136. 1, Drtg = 93.1
Dirk Nowitzki: Ortg = 108, Drtg = 120.7

Dwyane Wade: Ortg = Ortg = 88.7, Drtg = 107.7
LeBron James: Ortg = 89.4, Drtg =106.6
Kevin Love: Ortg = 114.6, Drtg = 120.9
Deron Williams: Ortg = 107.3, Drtg = 107.3
Carmelo Anthony: Ortg = 106.5, Drtg = 92.3
