POTG: WAS @ POR

[Jimmy Recard]

is booker on his way out of the rotation?

Not likely. He just had a rough game last night and was in foul trouble.

Booker made the most important play of the game.

Wall set up Young. Young hit amazing shots, which opened the floor up for Wall. Co-MVPs. The other 3 options were good as well! Even Crawford.

How bad is Portland defensively? I had no idea.

Yup. I have no problems giving POTG to Wall. I'm just objecting to the notion that it's not debatable.

I'm giving it to Young mainly to compensate for the all the hate he has received on these boards. But Wall was fabulous too.

[spree2kawhi]

thanks. got him on my fantasy squad... so I'll keep him.

[REDardWIZskin]

This is probably the hardest one to choose all season. Wall set the tone early. Crawford turned into Lou Williams in the 2nd quarter. And Young was insane down the stretch.

[Ruzious]

I voted Young by a hair over Wall - using the scorched earth policy.

[tontoz]

Nick was insanely hot but i might have voted for Wall anyway if it wasn't for his turnovers. Had to go with Nick.

Portland is pretty good. Ranked 4th in DRtg at 98.4

Booker has been studying vintage Bruce Bowen, "How to Maim the Shooter" technique video.

Had to go with Nick. He was the comeback dream shatterer

ROFL I was trying to remember what play that was.

I see what you did there.

Add team to future polls.

Some games it is clear who the POTG is. At times, it is just a fact that there isn't one.

I can't really see how you can pick Nick or Wall with any clear reasoning. Hell, even Crawford, Ves and McGee had huge effects. That McGee put back in crunch time made a huge difference because Portland was making a serious run. 11 rebounds and 18 pts. Ves was grabbing all kinds of rebounds and playing really sound defense and with Booker and Singleton in foul trouble they wouldn't have won without hm. Crawford was also hot an made several important shots and passes. Down the stretch he score, intercepted the ball in the back-court and scored again. Four pts swing in like 4 seconds.

People in the game thread though a collapse was on the way.

I cast my vote of team because that's what it was so I'm not voting in this poll without that as an option.

One of the purposes of the POTG thread is to have a final tally of POTG's at the end of the season. Throwing in options like "team", or "coach Wittman" or "opposing player who sucked real bad" messes up the results.

It's fine if you want to vote "team". I'm just not going to put it in the poll because I will ignore all such answers in the final tally anyhow.

What's the tally so far, nate?

[nate33]

I don't know. I haven't been keeping a running count.

You will do what you want of course, but why would team throw it off. Actually, I think it would make it more accurate. POTG should be awarded when there is one. If there isn't, there isn't.

If they win a set amount of games with 2 or more players contributing equally and that wins as the vote, that would be a nice number to see. If the majority of fans choice to select that, then that is a tally. If they don't, then what is the harm of having it there?

Personally, I find it inconsistent considering I was bashed for not adding an F to how good is EG doing when it as clear F was not close to a reasonable choice. Just saying.
