21-16 on the year. An exciting comeback W against the surging Bulls.

The tally so far

Otto x5
Beal x4
Wall x4
Scott x3
Gortat
Morris
Oubre
Sato

I know Beal had great numbers, but i went with Wall for being better on defense, especially in the low post and being the shot blocking presence and his plays in the last minute.

I don’t know what’s worse to watch, us playing down to competition or Beal’s and Wall’s free throw shooting.

Otto and Scott were both pretty good- in opposite ways.

Wall was clutch.

But BB is the POTG

Oubre consistency off the bench is something to account for. His, Scott’s, and Satos play have reinvented the bench. Mahinmi and Meeks have helped to lesser degrees.

Maybe if he hadn't shot 6-20, we wouldn't have needed those last minute clutch plays, huh?

Oubre took 6 shots & 2 FTAs & turned them into 12 points while grabbing 5 boards & getting 3 assists -- all in 20 minutes! Scott turned 11 shots into 17 points.

Beal & those 2 guys are tied as players of the game.

Beal. He pretty much played the entire game.

Beal missed one less shot than wall, so that argument can be applied to him too.

No. It can't. Apply basic arithmetic.

Beal scored 39 points on 30 shots. Wall scored 21 points on 24 shots (I'm factoring the FGA's necessary to generate FTA's). Beal had a TS% of .653. Wall had a TS% of .438.

Wall also had one more turnover than Beal despite having the same number of assists.
