THE SAVIOR

OrlandO · Post #3 » by **OrlandO** » Tue Jan 3, 2017 3:07 am

Should go to Meeks, Elf or Vuc... they were the difference makers tonight. Ibaka was quiet and AG padded his stats late when the game was already secured.

Payton for me. 14 assists 0 turnovers. Was effective the entire game running the offense, looked like crap with DJ in there.

Meeks was great as well, as were the others. Just thought Meeks fell off a bit in the 2nd half.

This is a legitimately tough one. Elf was the engine on offense. Vuc was both our best rebounder and go-to guy. And Meeks hit everything he threw up there (minus that wide open layup lol). AG and Serge both have nice games, but as OrlandO said, I think it's between these three.

When in doubt, vote for the Saviour.

One of the toughest calls of the season. Payton and Meeks both very deserving.

Meeks made shots but EP created, assisted or scored in multiple possession. Can go either way but 14ast and 0 TO is CP3esque

Magic#1 · Post #9 » by **Magic#1** » Tue Jan 3, 2017 3:22 am

EP was responsible for more than 40 points, didn't turn it over and shot over 50%.

Elf because he was the tempo of the game. He ran this game like he was the composer after the hot shooting from the starters wore down. Vuc honorable mention for the back taps and passing.

Gave it to Elf but Meeks was close. Team effort really though.

Elfrid Payton was great tonight. Played with great pace, made great decisions, defended well. AG also defended well, Meeks was a flamethrower, and Ibaka continues to be Mr. Consistency. Tough call, but went with Payton.

I don't think I paid close enough attention to the game. I went with Meeks for keeping us in the game early on. If we'd fallen behind NYK then we may have given up in the 3rd. I'm starting to value early contributors as much as closers at this point, because it all makes a big difference on the psyche of the team.

It's hard to go past Elf's game of 14assists, especially because he's one of my favs, but I quite like it when Meeks plays a perfect role playing game like tonight.

6 assists from gordon
Nice to see
Great game from payton

If anyone would have predicted that Gordon would have dominated Anthony, hmm.

I voted for Gordon given his stat-line on both sides of the ball. Keeping Anthony on the perimeter chucking away was a key to the win.

Toughest vote of the season, went with EP. Honorable mention - Meeks

MagicStarwipe · Post #19 » by **MagicStarwipe** » Tue Jan 3, 2017 12:25 pm

I went with Meeks. His hot start kind of opened the flood gates for us. Other guys were equally as deserving though.

rcklsscognition · Post #20 » by **rcklsscognition** » Tue Jan 3, 2017 3:12 pm

Others were more deserving, EP notably, but with this team's weak mindset we would have lost by 40 if not for Meeks making a few 3s to open the flood gates early.

1st win of 2017 vest goes to...
