Kemba
Marvin
Frank
Just watched entire game on league pass. I only caught the OT parts before and i judged kembas defensive lapses too hastily. After watching entire game, I think kembas D was alright. He did get shot over a few times, but thats just the constant mismatch hes up against, which Im not gonna hold against him. I actually think marvin williams and batum more than a few times did worse on the D than kemba. Kemba did make a few dumb decisions down the stretch though, but not enough to drop his gold. Great job kemba, today you are not kemBRICK, but instead kemballer

Re: hammers: CHA/UTAH
Gold - Kemba
Silver - Marvin
Bronze - Lin
HM - Frank - Maybe a bit tough to leave Frank w/out a hammer since he kept our offense rolling both times he played. But I have to give the hammers to the guys who gutted out the 2OTs, warts and all.

Marvin over Kemba. Kemba was awesome, but the dumb mistakes, the poor D, all of that led to such an unnecessarily lengthy game.
Especially on the last defensive play where kemba literally flying kicked the shooter on the 3 point line when we are up by 5 and only 2 seconds left in 2OT...Just had me facepalming. Oh lets not forget 1OT, with lin having a completely open cut right under the rim but kemba decided to take the last shot instead, leading to 2OT in the first place.
Marvin on the other hand was on FIRE, played D pretty well and didn't commit too many mistakes. Marv deserves gold imo, and if we are to keep winning games in the future, we will need similar performances from marv going forward.

Wow. If Kemba can't get a gold hammer for 52 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, even with the mistakes on defense, man, I just don't know. I rarely comment on other people's hammer votes, but man, that's tough. Whatever, they're your votes.

After watching full game, i have to revise my opinion, he played great overall, his D wasn't spectacular but wasn't too terrible either. More upset with Batum than anything, dude is soft, turns into a marshmallow in the 4th quarter. Got to say, batum in the 4th is a liability
Frank Kaminsky Played really well tonight, he did kinda get scared on a few inbound passes, but i don't blame him, hes still a rook.

Same. Lin made the game-saving play and did a lot that isn't on the stat sheet so he beats out Frank. Marvin has to get the silver for me as well. Kemba is a no-brainer.
Sorry Nic, love ya but you get a BF. Won't happen much, but Nic just had a tough game. PJ gets the supreme BF.

You know what. You make good points. I don't agree that Kemba doesn't get gold, but you made good points about his mistakes. And Kemba actually owned up to it in the post-game on-court interview.

Re: hammers: CHA/UTAH
Can I give Kemba a platinum to offset the silver?

Re: hammers: CHA/UTAH
Gold: Kemba
What a game. We got to see the very, very best of Kemba but also the very, very worst of Kemba - all in the one game. The kid is such a roller coaster but geez when he looked good, did he ever look good!!! Especially in the 3rd when they really started to double and pressure him so he started making beautiful passes to teammates drawing all the attention and getting them open looks. Im super happy he currently holds the franchise record for points in a game. He deserves that.
Silver: Marv
That passion he showed really amping the team up in the 4th and OT's was such great leadership. Plus he made some huge plays to back it up.
Bronze: JLin
Loved the probing and pressure he put on the D and how he really facilitated the ball movement - even if he did over dribble on several occasions.
