Nestle Crunch Time Rating
The Nestle Crunch Time Stat was designed by the NBA and Nestle to provide an innovative way to measure "Crunch Time" performances -- players who step up when the game is on the line! A formula has been created to measure the top Nestle Crunch Time players, and the formula kicks in when Crunch Time kicks in -- the last two minutes and all overtime periods.

Here's the formula:

(PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TO) + 4 points if their team wins

Note: If the point differential of the game is greater than 15 points at the two-minute mark, only the losing team's players will be eligible to earn Crunch Time points.

I'm not sure how much credence we can attribute to these kinds of stats but it's nice to see 3 Kings in the Top 12 Cruch time peformer list.... (Cuttino to join them shortly). Futhermore, it's great to see Webb, a perennial choker and cancer to his team, as the second best crunch time performer of this season to date.
 
damn, this is awesome! we're beating teams, albiet it not by alot, but we're beating teams with talent, while at the same time still figuring out our identity, which we have FOUND finally, with the addition of the Cat and the emergence of our bench, everything else is just getting everything in the right order...and when Bobby comes back...OH HELL ITS ON! I havent felt this way since 2002 dammit, this is damn fun! I legitimately think that we can be this year's Pistons. Lets do this!!;)
 
just shows...

The fact that so many Kings are in this list plainly shows Kings don't blow people out. They play close games. Not an entirely great thing if you lose alot of close ones, but we've seemed to do well thus far in the nail biters.
 
Right^^ and everyone knows the Kings have a great winning percentage if they are ahead going into the 4th. Which shows they close teams out (more often than not) Plus look at the Reg season numbers list, KG? Dwayne Wade? Shaq? Billups? Lebron? ... that is some good company.

NO, what it says is this team is clutch.
 
I just figured out that Hughs is injured for at least 3 1/2 weeks. So that means Webber can get to the top! He is probably doing good because the Kings have been in a lot of close wins the last 2 weeks. Thats ok, at least we get the W!
 
So much for their formula. They should never add other stat categories except only points, FGA, FGM, FTA, FTM, and TO, coz that's the only time they can go clutch, the points!!

Funny Brad Miller is there in the top 12 while he seldom took a shot in late games and crunch time as well...

Naj I don't know what your watching^^ I mean Brad doesn't take the last shot to win it very often, But in the last 2 min of close games he's been very clutch at getting putbacks and even getting to the line and converting.
 
Yeah, about 3 weeks now I have not seen a Kings game! Blame for no Kings national broadcast. There are now few TNT and cable broadcast for the Kings, not so long ago, when JWill and company have many nationwide appearance. I hope the Cavs-Kings game will be airing here.

Kingkong gave me a site for downloading the Kings game, but I did not try yet, it would take me 6-10 hours for that i think.

The last game I managed to download was the Kings- Utah game. The Kings- Clippers game is also available right now. nAj jAn™ you should try to download a game before going to bed, the download should be complete by the time you wake up the next morning. Just a suggestion. :)
