The Polish Hammer

Shout out to WallStar for coming out and playing with confidence, controlling the game and finally having a good shooting night! Overcame the turnovers early.

Gortat set the tone from the jump when he scored our first two baskets, one going directly at Hibbert with the hook.
By the time he was done showing Hibbert who his daddy was he could have sat the entire 4th.

He showed why I can't help but love him, putting Game 4 behind him and coming strong last night.

At first I told myself that I would refuse to choose between Gortat and Wall but if I had to choose one... Gortat. He just killed it out there. Wall played a great game too, it's just Gortat basically played a perfect game. Wall still made a couple mistakes early on.

This one should go to the entire team, that is, the entire Pacers' team for sucking so bad.

Gortat. Wall was 2nd.

But honorable mention to Beal's 9 points in the 1st 6 minutes of the 4th quarter. Making sure Indy knew damn well they would be making no run.

Voted for Gortat. But a big shout-out goes to Wall. He showed up!
I abhor Silver

Gortat played great !

But a lot of his putbacks and offensive rebounding opportunities were because Wall was aggressive ! Wall playing at his best set Gortat and the team up for success. This game is completely different with Gortat playing how he played but Wall playing like crap.

Wall is POTG because his aggressiveness and poise set the team of to play at their best.

Walltat.
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.
