Hammers: Hornets Vs Pacers (Oct 20th) 

Post#1 » by BigSlam » Thu Oct 21, 2021 1:39 am

Gold: LaGod
This kid though. What an amazing basketball player. Works his ARSE off fighting for rebounds against dudes who are a LOT bigger and heavier than him, never gives up on a play and just makes things happen. We've FINALLY got one!!

Silver: Gordo
Just a standard "quiet" 27 points from him. Hit some massive shots when we needed them and just provides such a calming influence all while positively impacting the game.

Bronze: Ish
Could have gone with someone else, but I thought Ish brought tremendous impact and energy when we were super flat and had nothing going as a team. He took over in the 2nd and really jolted us into, what became, momentum winning basketball.

Gold: Melo. Nuff said.

Silver: Gordo. Nuff said.

Bronze: Only real decision, going with Miles though. 13-8-4 with 3 steals, had that incredible right handed layup after euro-stepping (AKA traveling but not in the NBA), played his role pretty well. Had a few bad turnovers but overall was quietly important in this one.

G-Melo
S-Gordon
We would suck without BOTH those 2 guys on the team, with them we can compete with most teams and win our share
B/HM - Ish/Miles both were impactful
Get Terry back and we can be dangerous

G LaMelo
S Ish
B Gordo
Ish kept the team in the game when Gordo was not playing his best, its an 82 game season, but that would be my preference tonight.

Lamelo
Hayward
PJ - Rough offseason, hit 2 clutch free throws and did everything he physically could to defend Sabonis on the last play.

LaMelo
Hayward
PJ - had to go with PJ. Down 1, got the offensive board, drew the foul, made both free throws to put us ahead and then played excellent defense on Sabonis to force a game winning miss. Sucked before that but we lose with anyone else in there

HM - Ish - we’re gonna miss the outside shooting Devonte’ provided but Ish does a lot of things inside the arc that Tae can’t and he kept us afloat during some rough stretches

Gold: LaMelo
Silver: Hayward
Bronze: PJ. I didn't know if it should be for Bridges or Ish, but the final 2 free throws + the defense sealed the deal. Great win.

Gold: LaMelo. When you add shooting from deep like that to his already potent skillset, it's not wrong to be chanting MVP.

Silver: Hayward. Started off cold, but he was sizzling at clutch time.

Bronze: Ish. Was solid throughout.

HM for PJ for the free throws and the last second D.
