Kief is the winner for not playing. It’s pretty clear we’re better without Wall right now. It’s absolutely unassailable that we are better without Splief.

If I have to vote for someone who actually played, it’s Sato.

Sato was real good, but the 6 turnovers were a blemish.

Beal had 32 points, 7 assists, 5 boards, 3 steals and a block, with only 2 turnovers and a TS% of .667.

Gotta go with the triple-dub guy. Beal is the team's MVP anyway...could arguably win it damn near every game.

Why don't you watch games, you don't like watching good basketball.

Sato for this one easily for me. Beal second. Give props where props are due.

Giannis and it's not even close.

Sato's turnovers were a big reason why the Bucks stayed in the game, so while he's had a tremendous outing I'm more inclined to give my vote to Ariza for basically sealing the deal with his sniping in the 2nd half.

The only blemish, a disproportionate amount of his production came in the first quarter, I think he had like 15 points and a bunch of dimes by the end of the first period?

I liked that he didn't force it for the remainder of the game when the Bucks were clearly keying on him, yet still managed to contribute on defense, the boards and moving the ball.

Last season it felt to me like Beal got to the All-Star game on reputation, it'd be a real shame if he didn't make it this year because he's really stepped up his game this season, and his three point shooting has come around lately as well.

The Bucks entered the game 2-0 without Giannis with a win against the Raptors. The Raptors did not have Kawhi, then again the Raptors are 7-2 without Kawhi this season.

Well, that, and I am not going to feel sorry for other teams and their injuries this season.

Just teasing you bro. I walked from Las Crusas to Truth or Consequenses one time (1991) not good.

Definitely Giannis. There's a huge talent drop-off on that team if he's out. Whos their next best guy? Brogdon? Lopez? No one who can really assert themselves on a game.

Anyway, I picked Sato just for the stat line :shrug:

He was good but the turnovers let him down. Beal was actually amazing... dominant. Best player in the game.
