Message: [QUOTE="AZOrange, post: 61717, member: 278"] Thats the problem though. When you are in must make situation you only really get 1 shot. And if Scoop takes it, which he will, then it doesnt really matter if anyone else is capable of doing so. Like it or not (which I dont necessarily), this team will live and die by what Scoop does this year. Honestly I think people make too much of the "go to guy" stuff. Even in 2003 (especially in the tourney), while Melo was our best player there were other guys that stepped up and hit big shots in crucial moments. It wasnt always a Melo isolation play that won us games. Hell, Gmac nearly stoned Kansas by himself. If we win the national championship the whole thing will be a moot point, and we will talk about how great a "team" this was (2010 would have been a similar convo). If we lose, whoever took the last decisive shot will be the goat and it will be Scoop or KJO or Triche just werent the guy we needed them to be. [/QUOTE]
