basketball-reference.com recently added a "shot finder", where you can look up any player's or team's performance by shot type, including shot distance, time left in the quarter, etc., etc.

This is a tremendous tool.  For instance, are you curious about how the Celtics shoot when the score is within 5 points in the fourth quarter or OT?

KG has taken the most shots (20) and is tied for the lead in makes (6) with Ray and Pierce.  Ray's got three three-pointers in such situations this year; Pierce has two.  Our worst shooter in such situations?  Rondo, at 1-for-7.

It's cool stuff.  Want to look up who is best at shooting jumpers from 15-feet out?  Bass shoots the highest FG% (.504) and Ray has the best eFG% (.612); Rondo is shooting 37.9%, which is actually better than Pierce (36.4%), although Pierce is more efficient (.476 eFG% for Pierce vs. .405 eFG% for Rondo).
