Kyrie? Lillard? Harden?

God damn the league doesn't feel the same without KD in the playoffs

I did. Just seemed to be an abnormally low amount of gamewinners this year with Durant out

With or without Durant, it's still LeBron.

Yeah, it really doesn't. You can't really fill such a void either. Kevin Durant is the best closer in the league and it's not all that close.

I would say Kyrie, knowing what we know right now, but we still haven't seen him translate that into the playoffs...just yet. My money would be on him too tho. He'll have some moments this year.

Gamewinners are taken by Westbrook in OKC. Servant affects nothing in that regard.

Lillard and Harden are good choices.

Walker and Ellis also come to mind.

When Westbrook was hurt early in the playoffs two years ago, Durant did himself no favors. He came up small in four straight losses to Memphis. In "clutch time" (the last five minutes of fourth quarters and overtime when the game is within six points), he scored a combined eight points in those four losses on 3-17 field goals while going 0-3 from 3 and 2-5 on free throws.

Curry as well. I think he'll have his moments this year.

He'll be up there with KD, Irving, Lillard at the end of the year as the top 5 closers in the league.

I'll take LeBron James, 37 pts Game 7 in the finals, and elimination game king.

For the last shot of the game, I'll take Lillard

This is with or without Durant healthy too

The NBA without Durant and Kobe is a joke.

Probably Blake Griffin. That game-winner against the Suns was nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Lillard, Ellis, and Harden are the first 3 to come to mind.

Irving and then Bron. Just goes to show you how strong this Cavs team can be.

AMC30, he is such a good closer that it's usually wrapped up by the 3rd quarter.

Reggie Jackson should get a shotout here.. amazing 32 point on 11-16 performance here, I remember it was an in insanely crucial game for OKC, saved their season pretty much from a 1st round embarrassment. Nobody else stepped up, Reggie did.

Kyrie Irving, or Steph Curry

Wade

leads the league in 4th quarter points. He's closed out teams multiple times this year. Game winner vs Portland was sweet.

Harden or Curry. Curry is scary as **** in the clutch.

Great choice.

Irving and Wade are the two best now that Durant is out.
