I dare you to tell me Vuc was the best player on the floor tonight. If you watched this game you know who deserves this vest. I'm not saying it was by a landslide, but Vuc being the highest scorer tonight does not tell the whole story.

Gotta be Isaac. His defense all game was exceptional, but his offense is what started the run that got us up 10 points in the 3rd. Then in the 4th he just shut down the NY offense.

Vuc and Gordon were good in spurts, but Isaac was a game changer on defense for me. Immediately when he came back in, Randle was doing jack ****. Also played great on Morris, picked us up at the start of the 3rd, etc.

Isaac. And I don't want to hear any complaining about it.

Isaac was the best player on the floor by a significant margin. Which is especially impressive considering he still gets inexplicably ignored by his teammates on the offensive end.

Isaac locks players down AND provides rim protection... without him we lose to the Knicks.

The DPoY and Defensive Anchor was the best player tonight. Wouldn't be mad if Vuc got it either, but Isaac totally deserves it. Kinda annoyed he doesn't shoot it more, he's been a fantastic scorer when he shoots.

JI impacted the game the most imo. Vooch and AG were good but in stretches.

Isaac dominated half of the game. More than anyone else by a mile. Vuc and Gordon were solid finally

Watching Isaac live it is truly amazing how good he is defensively. He took over the 4th quarter just with his defense. He was good last season, but he is just on another level this season

Pre-game Coach Clifford warned of the "physicality" of this game, and Robinson in particular. Vučević completely contained Robinson. Rebounding wise, Vučević was elite in this contest. Vučević not only had 13/14 rebounds (official scoring has two numbers), but also held Robinson to only five.

Defensive rebounding is perhaps the very most important activity for a defender.

I won't quibble that Isaac is running away with this, as wow he was awesome, but my vote went for Vučević for his dominance over Robinson.

For me Gordon gets a cummerbund. Those 10 points in the final 5 minutes were ice-cold!

Didn’t catch this one but I have to give credit to whoever called the outcome of this game to a T.

Predicted Gordon’s performance as well as playing the Knicks close all game until the very end when we buried it.

It’ll be nice once all of our guys have even an average night on the same occasion. (Looking at you T-Ross) Keep shooting.

Very solid contributions from AG and Vuc tonight especially on the boards. My vote is going to Jonathan Isaac though. When he was in the game, the Knicks struggled to score especially at the rim. I love watching him play defense mainly because of his IQ on that end. He will anchor us on that end for years to come.

If Isaac keeps this up, Orlando has its "Draymond Green".

I would be shocked if Isaac ever came anywhere close to Green as a passer/facilitator/playmaker for others, but I absolutely think he could be the same super elite, super versatile defender only with a more natural shooting stroke.

Draymond is just such a truly unique player that I really don't like comparing anyone to him.

Isaac being a dominant defensive player capable of protecting the rim as a C, effectively switching/helping/recovering as a PF and chasing wings through screens to contest as a SF while also being able to attack in transition, stick open threes and hold up on the glass is plenty good enough.
