I'd like to see a breakdown on it, to see what his percentages are in clutch / pressure situations.

The fact is, even a great shooter like Ray misses 1 out of every 10 FTs.  My hypothesis (with nothing to base it on) is that we expect Ray to make every FT, so when he missed one -- especially in crunch time -- it stands out much more.

I think he might be overthinking the Perk trade at the line.

Not concerned.  Ray's just getting all the misses out of the way now before the playoffs start.   ;)

Watch out for him in the play offs, they're going to "Hack-a-Ray."

Ray's shooting 86.5% from the FT line on this year, and in "clutch" situations, he's shooting 87%.

In the 09-10 season, Nash and Allen were both tied at 89% FT shooting in clutch situations and in the 08-09 season he shot 96%.

Seems pretty decent to me.

That would be a change! You think he'll save some 3s for the playoffs too or is he going to bring his bag of bricks like he has since he's been here?

That isn't enough in such a big game like this.
