Title: who should be in closing lineup on offense ? Crawford,Bradley,Lee or Bass ?
Post by: rondohondo on February 24, 2013, 10:57:44 AM
I would assume the closing lineup will include Terry, Green,PP and KG on offense, who should be the 5th player?

Of course it can change on certain nights depending on who has a hot hand, but just in general , who do you think should be in the lineup ?

I go with Crawford slightly over Lee, just because he is a more explosive scorer

What's yours?

Crawford should not in any shape or form be sniffing the court at the end of games.

Bass, maybe last season and if he were playing better. Eventually, maybe Crawford. Bradley.., I'd trust, but I'm biased. His O just isn't there. And Courtney has never been a good finisher. It's a pickle, so just whoever's hot I guess. Actually, that's just how it should be, anyway.

Agreed, at least until he learns he is no longer playing for the Wizards.  ;)

I voted for Bradley because having Crawford and Terry in the backcourt is very weak defensively. End of games is not just about scoring people!

I think t-will and Crawford are best options offensively. T-will to get the team into the play,  and if things break down he can create for himself. Crawford if you want a safety valve to go to that can create for himself if all else fails

twill setting the offense but would rather Lee or bradley for Crawforde.  Until Crawford knows better to play within the system.  Definately a spark ala Barbosa though off the bench for JC

What do you mean on offense? They have to play defense too right? I want the closing lineup to be more times than not, Pierce, KG, Green, terry, and whoever has it going that day.

I'd go for T-Will myself, but Doc will probably go with Bass.

gosh
i dont want Bass in during any parts of the game lol
havent seen enough of Crawford here. if he plays anything like he did in DC, i wouldn't be opposed to it.
Lee and AB take turns on great offensive nights.

I think it will just depend on who's hot. clutch by committee

I think it'll be the Lee-Bradley offense-defense switches that we've been doing the whole year. But I pick Lee if only one.

I had to pick Lee. Yeah, defense-offense sort of thing.

Bass works too i don't mind his ending games and if I remember correctly, he had a few crunch time offensive boards for us.
