Jason Terry has been pretty clutch in his career. I would trust him with the final shot on that team if Dirk isn't open or if Terry has a better look.

My first option would be to put the ball in Dirk's hand.If it wasn't easy then I would go with Terry.He took the complete offense on his own.Really ugly play by Dallas.

Without question, I agree. Dirk is the closer there and should always be the first option when healthy. Terry is a decent second look though.

Wolves trying to acquire Jamal Crawford.

...why?

 

[ChiTeez.com]

For some reason......... I get a feeling....... the Bulls might stick their nose in there! Just a hunch.........

:shot:

...why?

They need scoring at the 2. They're starting a PG(Ridnour) right now and Wes Johnson isn't the answer there. Crawford would fill a need for them.

Crawford is not much of a step-up at all from Ridnour at the 2 defensively if at all. The reason they want him is because Minnesota doesn't have a guard who they can depend on to close games and Crawford has done some of that before.

Because it was as bad as it could be.Big shots and last possession shots are different stories.They had enough time to find Dirk.

More than one guy is capable of taking the last shot...last possession shots are big shots. Terry was taking a lot of those shots when people were calling Dirk "soft".

Wolves trying to acquire Jamal Crawford.

I read an interview 2 nights ago off of HoopysHype, and Crawford was saying how he damn near signed with the TimberWolve's over the summer because he thought they'd be a good up and coming team, but chose to sign with Portland because he wanted to start the season in camp, and the Wolve's were wanting him to a wait a little longer before inking the deal.
