I voted for the one option that didn't suck tonight.

You’re doing it wrong. You give it to the guy that shot the game winner even though he shot 33% from the field, 22% on 9 3 pointers and missed a clutch FT that should have given us the lead anyway.

Hot take: almost voted for Vuc just because of that big block and the screen he set. Horrible defensively throughout the whole game though.

AG bringing us two 20+ point games like he needs to every game gets a sweater.

Well that was a mighty ugly win. But I'll take it. I'd be giddy as all hell if we end this home stand at 500. Wishful thinking. Fingers crossed.

Also someone tell AG to stay aggressive please.

Evan because he hit the game winning shot despite having an off night and after missing a game winning ft, he had the mental fortitude to take and make huge shot....which is exactly how people would spin it if ag had Evans game.

But also because he didn’t give us canned answers to Dante’s questions. He took ownership of his bad shooting, took the blame for the cavs run, then called for the team to get after it. He said what everyone in here was thinking, which was that we shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place.

I don't think you can go wrong with either Gordon or Fournier. Gordon scored 23 points... it was good, but certainly wasn't enough to completely downplay Fournier's walk-off game winner (biggest shot in basketball) after drawing a very tough shooting foul to tie the game with 13 secs left (refs usually swallow their whistle). Might be the happiest we'll see the team (minus Frazier) all year thanks to that shot.

AG. Not only was he the best player throughout the bulk of the game, but he made a couple big shots late in the 4th when it looked like nobody could score that kept Cleveland from running away with the game. Big shot by Fournier, but I'd give him more consideration if he wasn't as poor throughout the game and if the score wasn't tied when he hit the game winner. If the stakes were higher on the shot it would go a lot further to outweighing his poor game.

Edit: Before anybody gets their panties in a bunch, I'm talking about voting criteria on a sweater vest. Obviously Fournier deserves a lot of credit for hitting a game winner.

Clearly this goes to Gordon as the only starter with a positive +/-.

Ross is my clear favorite for a cumberbund. He was awesome as a 6th man.

Feels weird not giving it to the guy who made the game-winning buzzer beater, but I'm going with AG.

Gordon being aggressive on offense was the major reason why we were leading at half, going 6-10.

During that disaster of a 3rd quarter, Gordon was frozen out of the offense, going 1-2 from the field, while Vuc and Fournier took over the offense and shot a combined 2-11 in the 3rd, turning a double digit halftime lead into a 9 point deficit going into the 4th.

AG, Vuc and Evan all made big plays in crunch time to steal the win that we gave away, but we wouldn't of had to make a 4th quarter comeback if we kept feeding Gordon's hot hand instead of buddy ball worrying about getting theirs in the 3rd.

You mean just regular basketball? And do you honestly think they’re sitting there thinking “hmmm... I need to get mine” and not just simply trying to win the game? Our four best scorers took roughly the same amount of shots which is just standard basketball. Ag and Fournier both had 15

Seems to me, Clifford needs to make him our focal point.
