I had an interesting example of Patient yesterday.
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/36350285/boxscore.aspxAt first glance, the box score looks pretty normal...my SG, playing in the SF position jacked up a lot of 3s (and missed). However, I watched the game, and I can tell you that almost all of those attempts came in the last 6 minutes when I was down by 10 and he had played every single minute of the game.
If you go to gameview and look at the shot distribution of the 1st half. You will see a lot of shots by guards and small forwards close to the net. Watching the game, I noticed that most times, the commentary said "player x drives to the basket" or something to that effect. As you can see, that worked very well until their coach shifted their tactics at half time. I should note that my team has great passing all around, and medium-high driving (no one has bad driving).
