With the addition of Lawson, Sato is no longer the best backup PG. So he has to get his minutes at SG & SF and right now he's not producing enough offensively to merit big minutes at those positions.

Based on what? Lawson’s stats in the Chinese league? LOL

Ps, there’s another side of the court.

Yeah I dont think Lawson is a better backup PG than Sato. But I think Lawson is better than Meeks so there's that.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

I'm strongly tempted to vote Gortat on this one. I thought he was unbelievably good defensively, the best I've seen in years out of him. He definitely played the highest above his baseline.

But POTG has to go to Wall. He was the best player on the floor. You can't argue with 28 points, 14 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block and only 3 turnovers on above-50% shooting. If he can make that midrange jumper like that, this series is over. I don't think he will keep up that kind of shooting, I'm just saying that Toronto has no answer when he does.

Wall was dynamic, you can tell he's playing good when he has a scowl going on. Honorable mentions to Beal and Gortat.

Yeah when that midranger is falling consistently he’s a terror. He’s a top ten player when it’s going down.
