Game #33: Player of the Game #18 (Magic @ Wizards)

[FAH1223]

Since the Wizards can’t win more than a couple games in a row, we’ll be making these every other game...

The tally so far

Otto x4
Beal x4
Wall x3
Scott x2
Gortat
Morris
Oubre
Sato

It's a tough call because it was a real team effort.

Wall wasn't hitting much, but 13 assists in 31 minutes shows that he was getting others involved, which helped set the tone and kept them from playing iso-ball.

Beal had a solid box score and mostly hit the shots he was supposed to, but it didn't feel like a POTG type of night.

Porter had his best shooting night in a while but it's tough to give POTG to a starter who played just 22 minutes

Mahinmi looked as sharp as he has looked all season on D, but it was hard for him to get a ton of minutes because Orlando played small.

Sato had a typical Sato outing, making all the right plays, but he wasn't exactly an impact player.

I think it boils down to either Oubre or Scott. Scott continues to be allergic to missing shots, and Oubre stuffed the box score with 16 points, 6 boards and 4 assists in 28 minutes.

I'm going with Scott.

When do we start roasting Pay It "Wrong About Everything" Forward for being wrong about Scott?

Tough choice. I went with Oubre, but I considered Morris. Both had good games. A lot of Wizards had good games, none great, but i feel like they managed to stand out just a little more, with Oubre edging ahead.

Scott, Oubre, Sato and Splief were all good.

Gave it Scott cuz, well you know, he’s butter.
