who should be the celtics go-to player if they need a bucket?

[victorious2]

i cant think of one specific

[fairweatherfan]

Bucket to say, stop a run or preserve a lead: Paul Pierce
Last second game-winner/tying basket: Ray Allen

[Rondo2287]

I think it depends, if you are looking to stop a run during the middle of the game I would look to KG to work it inside where he makes about 76% of his shots which is better than Dwight Howard, Boozer, David West.  

If you are talking the end of the game, nobody has been more clutch than rayray over the past couple years.  

[Fafnir]

Paul Pierce or KG should be the ones who initiate the play.

As for who takes the shot? Any of the big three is fine by me as would Rasheed.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Too bad we don't still have West. He has shown to be quite reliable when fetching a bucket of chicken.

[Roy Hobbs]

Bucket to say, stop a run or preserve a lead: Paul Pierce
Last second game-winner/tying basket: Ray Allen

It of course depends on who is hot that game, who's open, etc., but as default options, I agree with FWF.

[RAcker]

Bucket to say, stop a run or preserve a lead: Paul Pierce
Last second game-winner/tying basket: Ray Allen

The answer is obvious and you just nailed it.

I'd like to amend it to add

I wouldn't mind seeing Eddie House on the floor as a 5th option.

Bingo. 


Or whoever Sasha is guarding.

Now that we've got Sheed we've got a 5-man lineup (Big 3, Sheed, House) where 4 guys can hit from midrange out to 3 and one (KG) out to deep midrange.  We are gonna be a nightmare to defend on last-second plays.

Maybe now, for those last-second plays, I won't be on the edge of my seat, sweating, with my heart beating 100 times a second, praying, and clutching my cat, ready to yell at the ref.
I'll be able to just kick back and wait for the winning shot.

The best available option first then Ray or Paul preferably Ray with an assist from Paul. Those two are involved in all my favorite late game heroics memories so either of them works for me.
