Sweater Vest Thread #19: Magic 100 - Nets 93

[ChosenSavior]

Gave my vote to Vuc as he had a hand in nearly every clutch moment we needed to make to win the game. Tobias played very well in the 4th as well so I can understand if people want to vote for him. I can also understand people voting for AG as he played very well throughout the whole game (thank you coach for trusting him down the stretch). I just enjoy how we constantly get multiple contributions throughout the roster.

Tobias!!!!!

more champagne for me...he hit the big shots when we needed them to close the gap. vooch also made big plays late, the tone of the game changed when AG and Dipo locked in defensively. team win.

Evan gets my vote. Had a good game and played good defense. Vuc let Lopez do whatever he wanted.

[OrlandoDream]

Tobes look best out there. I don't know how Vuc ended with 20 because he got his ass handed to him by Lopez. He looked like he didn't want to play today. Tobes and Evan came up big to make up for the injured EP. Hope he is ok.

[The Real Dalic]

Vuc for me. Only got to watch the second half though. I know he defended Lopez poorly tonight, but he also dug us out of the hole late.

It's Nikola again!

Jason Smith should have been a nominee just for this stretch of the game, 4th Q:
11:36 73-68 Jason Smith defensive rebound
11:18 73-70 Jason Smith makes jumper (Evan Fournier assists)
11:06 Shane Larkin turnover 73-70

10:23 Wayne Ellington misses three point jumper 73-72
10:22 73-72 Jason Smith defensive rebound
10:11 Willie Reed shooting foul (Jason Smith draws the foul) 73-72
10:11 73-73 Jason Smith makes free throw 1 of 2
10:11 Brook Lopez enters the game for Willie Reed 73-73
10:11 Jarrett Jack enters the game for Wayne Ellington 73-73
10:11 73-74 Jason Smith makes free throw 2 of 2

Jason Smith did play a good game. He had 6 crucial 4th quarter points in a row plus good defense and rebounding.

Jason Smith did play a good game. He had 6 crucial 4th quarter points in a row plus good defense and rebounding.

I considered adding him, but decided he was more of an honorable mention since he only played 7 minutes, fouled lopez 4 times, goaltended in the 4th, and was -1 overall. For similar reasons (minus the fouling) I didn't add Nicholson who also had a scoring burst of 6 consecutive pts in 50 secs earlier in the game.

While Smith's 6 pts in the first 2 minutes of the 4th were nice, Vuc scored 6 consecutive pts in 45 secs in the 3rd and 8 consecutive pts in two and a half minutes in crunchtime of the 4th. Oladipo also scored 7 consecutive pts in the 4th (9 total in the quarter) and was +15 overall in the game. AG had 6 consecutive pts earlier in the game and was +8 overall. Fournier had a long stretch where he scored 12 consecutive pts and was +11 overall.

Vooch!

AG deserves the honorable decoy award.
