Player of the Game

Post #1 » by **ATL Boy** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 2:45 am

Up to 13-6 for the season, it always feels good to beat the Magic in Orlando

Al Horford (6)
Josh Smith (3)
Kyle Korver (2)
Zaza Pachulia (1)

Notes: Al Horford recorded his 7th straight double double, the longest active Streak in the league (LMA and David Lee each have 4 straight), he had 13 points, 13 rebounds, and 2 steals as he just continues to be our model of consistency, way to go Al; Josh Smith was an absolute stat sheet stuffer tonight, he had 16 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 blocks, Josh could easily be our best player if he stays consistent. Both he and Al shot 6-14 from the field; Jeff Teague shot 7-12 and tied Smith for a game high 16 to go along with 3 assists. He only had 3 assists however which is a bad sign from the point guard; Zaza Pachulia had 9 Rebounds as he remains a rock off the bench, he also had a pretty awesome 3 point Shot.

Just Missed the Cut: Not really anybody, only 8 players played tonight, Jenkins was active but benched yet again. :banghead:

I wasn't able to watch the game but it looks like our bigs dominated the game once again. Who guarded Big Baby? I see that he was 2/11 from the field. ESPN shows 11 rebounds for Josh.

Nice game by Josh.

Teague got somewhat back on track. Gotta get that Assist:Turnover ratio back under control.

AL put up some Varejao type numbers with his seventh straight double-double. Led the team in rebounds and assists. His jumper is off, but he still manages to produce in the paint.

Let's keep it up!!!
