What does clutch mean to you?

Making the right play in key moments. I dont define "clutch" as something you do in the final seconds of a game.

A better word than "clutch" is "anti-Kobe". It makes sure that when you are discussing things like this everyone is on the same page.

As much as I hate him, I've seen him make clutch plays more times than not. I'm not talking about made or missed shots. It was a game where he dished it to Bynum for the game winner. He said he knew he was gonna have all the attention and he knew he'd have a man open. That is clutch. Not letting the moment mess up your mentality.

Normally though it's regulated to crunch time. Like around the last 5 minutes of a game.

Oh I agree. Just hate people who think "clutch" is a walk-off shot or something. There's more to it than that.

Exactly. These are the same people who think a 15/2 player is more valuable than a 12/10 player.

Clutch to me is making the best play possible on the biggest stage, under the brightest lights, whether it be making the game-winner or hitting your open PF who's a great midrange shooter to hit the game winner.

Sounds more like deferring. Taking the shot with 4 hands in your face and being fearless about it = clutch, even if it's a .05% shot

Clutch = hitting game winners in do or die situations with less than 24 seconds left on the clock.

Clutch is the ability to maintain or elevate your game in high pressure situations.

So LeBrons game costing turnover yesterday would not be classified as "clutch?"
