Both Robert Horry and Derek Fisher drive me nuts in the clutch.  Robert Horry will go 0 for 25 and then hit a big 3 with .00000002 seconds left to win a big game.

Derek Fisher will have 1 point and 35 turnovers going into the 4th and then will suddenly score 10-15 straight points.

Neither of them are great players, but both of them annoy me in the clutch, so who is more annoying.

Robert Horry ... and that's because he's done it constantly and for many teams. In fact, his reputation is that of that clutch 3 pt shooter for the finals, whether it's Houston, LA, or the Spurs. All and all, it's a great epithet to have since you really don't have to do much for the remainder of the series to get the accolades.

Think about it, all of Horry's shots from Olajawon were from double or even triple teams on the big fellow. How's that for being wide open and fortuitous at once? That's how the reputation got started. At least John Starks needed to blow past someone to get off a clean look. And with other great big men like Shaq or Duncan around, he could reproduce the same effect in latter series.
