Missed this one seeing Hamilton tonight (amazing). Seems like we crushed them with no real stand out?

Although Vuc with 17(!) rebounds is impressive.

I voted for Briscoe. I thought he was terrific at both ends and we needed his transition defense against an aggressive Bledsoe. He found Isaac cutting twice for easy dunks. It's nice having a point guard with some vision for a change. I expect this will happen with increasing frequency as he builds a rapport with our young bigs.

Isaac was alright. He wasn't at his best at the defensive end, though he did come up with some nice plays. He could've had a bigger night if he didn't pass up some open looks.

Birch was really good as well. He had a gorgeous wraparound pass to Isaac when he got trapped on the baseline. He and Gordon ran some pick and roll action. The timing was great, but an errant pass and a fumble prevented what would've been a couple easy dunks for Birch. I hope to see more of that in the future though.

Given that the Bucks missed 65 FG attempts, Vučević's defensive rebounding was arguably the single greatest key to the victory. He got my vote.

Grant got 3 minutes of playing time

But it is clear that Briscoe is now the primary backup PG

Where’s the option for right knee soreness?

[pepe1991]

voted for Isaac, well deserved.

Briscoe was actually close to getting my vote, but after seeing the whole game, I think J.I. gets it

We're in the 2nd best season in the rebuild era, and I think we're closer to the playoffs than even in the 1st best season in the rebuild (by a Skiles team). The team can still play meaningfully, which means a lot to all of them I imagine. But I hate how it feels like they always play up to the level of competition this year, what happened to just beating the easy teams and losing to the hard teams?!

My vote goes to Vuc, usually his stats wouldn't earn it, but we have to go with him, 15/17/5 is good, way better than 17/6 in 31 minutes, that's AG's average.

If I could, I'd vote for "Giannis injury" or "Team Play".

[axl_c_cool]

JI for me, only saw the extended highlights but he seems to be working it out

[Furinkazan]

Seems like both Isaac and Ross are fueled by all star weekend snubs which also rise question coudnt they find that fuel eswhere and earlier?Anyway lets hope its gonna last.
on a side note smh
Pretty pathetic Evan dont even own a single vest.

Was there too. Amazing show. Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius.

I went with Briscoe. He didn't have spectacular stats but he was a steady presence and kept the bench afloat by keeping his dribble alive and making good passes. He also did a good job scoring for himself. Usually we lose any positive by the starters when the bench comes in, specially Grant being the PG and dragging everyone back, but Briscoe was able to negate that by doing what a PG should do.

[Cockers]

Great teamwork... But since i have to chose one, i voted for Briscoe.

Giannis.....for sitting out lol
