It's Al but we couldn't have won without beast mode Favors as well.

26-15-4-3 is hard to argue against but so is five blocks in ten minutes, and Big Al's 8 straight points in the fourth. I don't know man, I just don't know.

It's difficult.
Jefferson was really clutch, but he did not played pretty well since that point.
Favors played really fantastic. When he defends, our team is simply different.
And Millsap was our best scorer and he did almost everything...
I just don't know either.

Favors and Millsap were great..... But, when it counted Big Al stepped up, and played with a gash over his eye...... That deserves a POG.......

I don't know how you overlook Millsap's overall game he had some big offensive rebounds/steals, the little things that help you win games as well as scoring. Jefferson got hot late and it helped but the game was already starting to slip away from the suns, they looked spent.

Don't forget Hayward's assists, I think some people underestimate the ability to pass the ball, some of our players can struggle with simple passes but Gordon makes difficult passes look easy.

If we're going with the whole game, it has to be Millsap or Favors. Al definitely didn't have the best overall game. Given how huge he was in the clutch and how much winning that game and finally making the playoffs must have meant to him, though, I can see why so many people are voting for him. I'm not an Al fan, per se, but I am really happy for him (and the rest of the guys, obviously, but making the playoffs probably means more to him than anybody). Despite his faults as a basketball player, he's a great guy who always tries to do the right thing and clearly wants to win.

Al is starting to impress me with his passing. He still took too many fadeaway push shots, but the guy is clearly making progress in terms of being a team offensive player.
