Hammers: Bobcats Vs Sixers

[BigSlam]

: Crash. Lead by example. Looks like he is ready to take it up a notch judging by the way he attacked tonight getting ready for the post season.

: TC. Stop teasing.

: DJ. After a bit of a rough start ended up putting together a really solid game and looked dangerous.

LOL @ the DJ hammers. Felton needs a damn near triple double to score a hammer by some of you while all DJ has to do is not completely suck 1 night out of 12 and he's an auto-hammer.

I have to agree with rich again lol, while dj played adequate i thought that felton definitely had the better/more impactful game.

Ditto. And agreed. And the "not suck" bar seems to differ depending on which player it is. The DJ "not suck" bar is much lower than the Diaw "not suck" bar or the the Chandler "not suck" bar. I admit, I'm kinda numb to it now but thank you for noticing it as well.

Well felton is the starter for a reason, so the bar for felton should be higher then DJ

100% different players have different expectations placed on them.

That goes without saying - doesn't it?

If not, people wouldn't throw a party when Hulk has a good game or have a parade anytime someone like Hendo does something remotely like he belongs in the NBA?

[BigSlam]

And as far as their impact on last nights game goes, in 10 less mins last night DJ put up the same amount of points, had the same amount of rebounds, had the same amount of steals and only had 3 less assists than Felts.

Felts looked good, but DJ did as much in less time (only because LB was obviously resting Felts) - so wouldn't it make sense that DJ stood out more?

What was it exactly that Felts did that made him SO much better than he earned the silver Hammer?

[thruthefire]

There are different expectations for different players, but that doesn't play a role in voting, at least for me. Looking at the season totals, all three -- Boris, D.J., and Tyson -- seem accurate to me. Augustin's had several games where he lights it up in limited minutes, so it's not surprising that he's done fairly well despite his overall badness.

Anyway, my vote:

Wallace
Chandler
Felton

FWIW, I definitely think Augustin over Felton is more defensible than Felton over Chandler.

[GQCoolest]

I put Felts at the first spot because his first quarter production came at a more important time. DJ's 4th quarter production was with the game pretty much already out of reach. While I understand the importance of maintaining a double digit lead, Felton had 3 of his 4 field goals while we were trailing early in the game. Throw in a better A/T ratio (granted, a function of playing with better players), and giving Felts the bronze hammer seemed to be the right move.

[Rich4114]

I'm in agreement with the majority. I base my hammers on who really helped us win the game, not really the box score. Give credit where it's due. DJ played against their second unit and had the same points/rebs/3 less assits/etc. as Felton. What about that part?

Felton played well when he was on the court at important junctions in the game. First quarter when we couldn't get things going at first, he went 3/4 I think with the one miss that should have been a goal tend. But the one thing that does not appear in the stat sheet is his defense and the amount of tipped passes and how much he bothers their offense. He had a "crash" like moment diving out of bounds to save a ball which Tyson I think came up with. Not to mention I feel "safer" when he's on the floor and "nervous" we'll lose any kind of lead when DJ's on the floor.

Gold - TT, we need him to rest and recover
Silver - Nazzy, we need him to rest and recover
Bronze - Diop, we need him to do what he does best, stay off the court.
