Mr. Fournier for the vest but damn the whole roster for the most part had a hand in this victory. Love how this team can hit opponents in waves. Makes us hard to game plan for.

Gotta go with Evan for the shots when we had nothing going on and tolerable defense on Harden without fouling. But man, Aaron's impact while he was in the game was so big it feels like he shined brightest.

I needed a little more from Vucevic on defense tonight.

I went with Vučević simply because he outplayed Howard. (if Houston was to win this, Howard needed a better game and I give credit to Vučević for this).

Vuc......he bested Howard, that simple

Toughest choice so far. Went with Harris. He had a few big baskets in the 4th and was efficient yet again. Really liking his game this year. Glad we brought him back.

How long did it take us to win 17 games last year and this many home wins?

I'm also going with Harris for this one.

Toughest one of the season. I went Vuc because with him ballin' out and taking Dwight & Capela away from the basket, that opened up the paint for everyone else. 60 points in the paint tonight. 60!!!! vs. 2 very good shot blockers.

60!!!!!

Either our GM or our coach should win an award at the end of the year

Ask yourself, 3 years ago when we made the trade, would you ever believe that Nikola Vucevic would be a better basketball player than Dwight Howard? He set the tone from the onset going at Howard any opportunity he got.

AG was huge in the 2nd quarter. We needed a spark and he provided it in the best way possible. Fournier was clutch. Harris continues to impress with his consistency, efficiency, and defensive effort. Here here for Channing Frye's 4/4 too. Props to EP for playing a good floor game and 2 big drives on Capela in the 2nd half and securing that rebound at the end. As much as Oladipo has struggled on offense, he is playing some great defense and has stepped up as a back up PG.

Great all around win.

Yes I did, I envisioned him to be like Marc Gasol.

Fournier. Too clutch.

Seeing Howard on another team really makes you realise how you much you dislike his character. Didn't see anything wrong with him when he was on our team but he's just so mentally weak there's no way he can carry a team. Multiple times he just backs down and shows no presence on offense and then constantly complaining about stuff... weak.
I thought he played really good man to man D on Vuc though.

Still Vuc for the sweater!

Vooch. "Helping our team lose one game at a time." :lol:

Harris was impressive again tonight shooting 80% against a good defender!! Channing once again shutting people up. This was a gutsy win and I loved it.

For me it was between Vooch and Evan. Harris also had a nice game. Honestly we have so many team wins this year it's hard to pick a sweater most nights. Good problem to have.

Rob you are a genius! Vuc has really steeped up and he was the reason that there were so many open lanes to the basket, he takes the big man away from the basket. Perfect example is the Evan game winner, Dwight was preoccupied with Vuc so he didn't show hard on Evan.

moving on up
